    I only got 2 invites I think since August. Latest one was hair colourant and I rejected as I wouldn't use it.

    Been with them years and only had around 6 testers:


    2013
    NIOXIN Diaboost (Hair).Lenore (full sized), 20 sachets to pass on, 1GB pen Drive & money off coupons.
    4 Car Febreeze.


    2014
    Fairy Platinum Dishwasher Tablets (full sized) about 20 sample bags sachets to pass on, money off coupons.
    Always Discreet 3 pack (different sizes), money off coupons.


    2015
    4 Vidal Sassoon Hair Dyes (I for me, 3 to pass on) with a black Towel & money off coupons).


    While I apply to test everything the send an email for (would only op to try if applicable to me) I can't say I am inundated with offers or testers yet recant email tell me "You're a dab hand at our savvy circle projects, having joined us on numerous occasions before. Now we're turning to you to lead the way in sharing your feedback:"


    Still as they no doubt have thousands of members and limited trials then you can't expect to be receiving testers regularly.
    I also gets testers from Boots, Clicks Research & Tesco, Argenteuil/Givaudan (used to have others but stopped being a member) so I do get a few a year even though these have lessened (much like paid surveys over the years) in 2011 I got 66 testers, 2012 47, 2013 42, 2014 31 and 7 so far this year.





    Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.
  • I haven't had anything from these guys for ages! It might be a year now...

    Anyone managed to get there hands on one of the Venus snap razors? Any idea when the day resets? I tried at midnight to be told I've already applied, again at 2am to the same response, and then when I tried at 6am i'm too late and they're all gone.

    I think it's the luck of the draw, a f/b friend won hers one evening when it first started.
