  • :j I received my laundry detergent trial a couple of days ago. I don't buy any laundry detergent at Tesco so I don't think that the trials are linked to the data they collect about your purchases through your clubcard.
  • I did the hair mousse one recently and really liked one of the samples
    itwas in a blue container with ridges round the outside
    anyone know what it was ???

    I joined in July and I am on my second trial testing 2 types of facial wipes. My 1st one was for firming night cream which I received in August.

    In July they were recruiting again, and I know a few of us including myself signed up. I believe we would be hearing from them around this week if our applications were successful.

    Has anyone had an email, I haven't yet :(


    Yes and have had: Hamster food trial, Rich day moisturiser, whitening toothpastes. Around 1 each week or so. That's just the last month.

    had about 3 trials offered but the end saying sorry full ..why send them out then !

    The trials get full quickly. If you dont reply on the day they send them out then you are usually too late. I`ve had trials offered in the morning and full by 6pm. They dont send them out full...it depends when you open your email.
  • i just missed details to put on for end of trail due to hospital stay, i have emailed them as nothing i could do, we will see if they throw me off or let me do the information or not??

    I applied months ago...possibly earlier than July and I've just received my email today:

    "Congratulations, we’re pleased to say that you’ve been selected to join Tesco Home Panels!" Fingers crossed for some trials now :j

  • My understanding is that the tests are linked to your Clubcard - i.e. they ask you to test things that you really do buy regularly anyway. I suppose it's quite a good idea, as it means you can make a good judgement on the sample item compared to your usual brand, plus it gets around people just saying that they buy something just in order to get a free sample.

    Also, demographics will be taken into account - your age, where you live, how many kids / pets etc. you have, and so on.

    When they do have a test for you, they'll email you. As to why you haven't received any, afraid I can't answer that one, but maybe the above information may help.

    I dont think they are linked to the Clubcard at all, there are some things I would normally buy that are regulars on my shopping but other things I buy elsewhere I would be asked to test for them......most recently a random was the Hamster food lol

    On their policy page it says:


    "We will access the information recorded through the use of your Clubcard to help us improve our service to you and to make our communications more relevant."

    So they definitely do monitor your clubcard data...doesn't explain your random hamster food though, ha :D
