  • Who knows, but i spoke to the main guy at HelpHound and at the begining he was going to delete the reviews but then he said he checked both Bview T & Cs and Helphounds and according to Bview the reviews are my property and therefore i am allowed to use it freely.
    Remember Helphound are going to be looking at their best interests if he thought there was anything dodgy he would delete the reviews because its the website that would get in trouble not me but clearly there is nothing wrong, remember they would rather not pay me.
    Easy money is there at your taking but if your conscience says no then dont bother.
    i will admit, it maybe a loophole but how many of you would buy an item because it has been mispriced to something considerably lower.

    bview are being very slow with the vouchers these days - I was promised one on Tuesday evening - he said it would be done Wednesday - still nothing. Has anyone else received anything lately? Am I the only one still plodding along with these reviews?

    I had to email again, but yes I did get the voucher eventually. I think I sent one email to Simon as a reply to one he'd sent me, and also sent one to the normal feedback email address. That one took over a week of waiting and emailing, and up til then they had always been very quick.

    I was promised another voucher yesterday - which he said would be issued today, and that one hasn't arrived. I don't know if they are having problems with the vouchers or are just backlogged.

    I guess I'll have to email him again tomorrow. I'm a bit nervous about starting the next batch of reviews until I know I'm going to get the vouchers.


    Yeah, i'm ashamed to say that i've just realised i've been replying to his emails instead of logging in. Oops :p Hopefully it will appear soon.

    I never received the 'token of appreciation' after my initial batch of reviews despite me e-mailing Bview and receiving promises that it was 'in the post'. I believe others received vouchers for Thresher and a memory stick.
  • hi.

    i got an email saying that i have qualifed for the voucher but they will have to send it in the post, i still havn't received it yet.

    did anyone else get this email?

    I received an email voucher on Friday. I worked my little cotton socks off over the weekend doing more reviews and have been promised another email voucher today (will have to see if it arrives, though!).

    That said, someone else did say they had been told they would get a voucher through the post - can't remember who it was, but somewhere back on this thread. Not sure what's going on here - they are definitely slower at issuing the vouchers nowadays.

    I think some of the issues might be with Amazon actually issueing the vouchers because the other review site (Trusted Places) is also having similar problems and delays.

    Wel I had an email from the main guy at Helphound today asking that I change the wording of some of my reviews I had copied and posted over from Bview as although the copyright was OK, it appears that some search engines will not list them if work is identical to another site, and obviously that means helphound will not get all the publicity on search engines it needs. He is very nice, but they have had to change the process and he no longer wants reviews just copied over that way any more.

    To be frugal, you need to spend money wisely, simply spending less is not enough.

    So what did he say when you copied them and changed the wording?

    I haven't got any emails from them. At the beginning of August I got the email saying I could write some more reviews and get more vouchers and also get something sent to my address. I have emailed three times over two weeks to say I have completed my reviews and haven't heard back. Anyone else in the same position?
