    Delta Golf... personally, I wouldn't touch this. I am sure there are some good test product companies but I would google the company first, check reviews etc. I use to go on the Get Freebies site and sent for some free cream, only pay postage. I know this is a slightly different scenario but I then found the company were taking monthly money of about £80 from my account and sending me stuff I never asked for. My husband had a similar experience with an E cigarette. Much of the time, they want your details for marketing . I would now be very wary...if it's too good to be true etc.... but do check thereviews of the company out that is offering this

  • Hi,

    I got a text from IdealData asking me to test a Dydon hoover. It says to review and keep. Sounds too good to be true. How do I know if this is a scam?

    I wouldn't touch this with a bargepole. I think these sort of so called offers are out to get your info to sell on or use inappropriately. I may be a bit too cynical but I have been conned before. Just get a decent refurbished Dyson and keep your privacy if you need a vacuum

    The website is super glitchy, the surveys conveniently 'fill up', become 'no longer available' or ends with 'we were looking for a slightly different profile' after you have filled in most of the survey. MANY are not recorded as being completed for this reason. Their 'support' DOES NOT deal with these issues, want you to do all the leg work and fob you off. AND TO TOP IT ALL they cancel your account so they don’t have to pay out! I had £30 worth of rewards (takes 6-8 weeks!) ordered after spending countless hours filling them in:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:.

    Absolute WASTE OF TIME. Stick with I-say or Pinecone.
  • Hi fairly new to this site so not sure where to post this, I have recently became a member of a few product testing sites (phillips, lush etc) and was wondering if anyone knew any more?

    Incase anyones wondering - I simply emailed lush to ask then they got back to me asking for my details and phillips with a google search of 'phillips product tester'. Tried to enter the link but wouldn't let me as I'm a new poster..

    Are they "product testing" codes and vouchers now..?

    thanks for your recommendation.
  • By far the best product testers site is argos testers but you can't just join up you need to be invited by email. The only way to do that is to review everything you buy from argos and hope you get the invitation email. I've been a member for just over a year now and have received 6 products worth £1500 including Android tablet, HD camera drone, Bluetooth wireless headphones etc. You just need to leave an honest review on the argos website and keep the product.
  • I've got loads of cans of drink from Insiders UK recently. They sent me a crate of 60 cans that I didn't know was coming.
