    I don't know the details but I'd stay away if they are asking for payment details etc.
    ally.
  • thanks those were the 2 threads i mentioned but it just people querying the site and they were expired before any response.

    just wondered if there was any update. thought i read about them before on here just collecting peoples info.

    asked on freepostcodelottery and just got abuse.

    You dared question the FPL? You're braver than me!

    Check out the T&C's

    https://producttrial.co.uk/termsandconditions/

    It all hangs on whether you get drawn from the hat or not. And, of course, how many units of the trial product they actually have. It may very well be that there are 10,000 applications to trial 1 pushchair.

    Also, you have to tick a box to submit your application. Next to the tickbox, it reads:

    "I certify that I am a Resident of the UK over the age of 18, and I agree to the Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions and understand that my contact details can be used for marketing purposes for telephone, SMS, email & mail contact by selected 3rd parties."

    Seems like a glorified prize draw with a bit of data harvesting thrown in. If you are interested in product trials, BzzAgent are legit.

    tbh they werent too bad except person who called me dumb*** and another that was being sarcastic

    i joined bzzagen theinsiders and orchard before so presumed it was another WOM site but after googling doesnt seem to be anyone recommending or even discusiing this one so thats why i worried a bit. there was a similarly name one a few years back that turn out to be just collecting and selling peoples info.

    guess time will tell

    thanks for feedback.
