Is it only possible to earn 1 £10 Amazon voucher, or do you still get a £10 voucher for EVERY 20 reviews you post?

Disclaimer: I work for the company however I thought this would be of value as a long term subscriber to the podcast/newsletter etc.

Just borrowed the 1st post - its ecery 20 posts - but they must be reliable posts.

Many thanks to the MSE users who recently joined BView. Most of you have left some great reviews and become valuable members of our community. However as some of you have already pointed out, last night we were inundated by users (from another website) who began leaving lots of spammy reviews.

To ensure that that the reviews on BView are as useful as possible to our community, we have made a few clarifications/modifications to our £10 Amazon voucher offer:

• The text must be of high quality and tell as story about your personal experiences with a business (but in any case at least 200 characters in length).
• You are free to leave anonymous reviews but only public reviews will count toward the voucher
• You should have a picture on your profile page -- don't be shy!
• The offer officially now only applies to your first 20 high quality reviews

We have noticed that MSE members are leaving much better quality reviews than people coming from other sites. So for MSE members who write reviews of superior quality, we are happy (during the month of July only) to give you additional vouchers (up to £50 worth) for additional reviews. This will be done on a case by case basis for reviewers of exceptional quality.

To qualify (and earn up to a £50 voucher), just send a message to our community manger, Simon Miller, or email him at [EMAIL="feedback@bview.com"]feedback@bview.com[/EMAIL] after you have left your first 20 high quality, public reviews. Give him your MSE user name and tell him you would like to become a “super reviewer” and earn up to £50 in vouchers this month. Simon can then go through your first set of reviews to make sure that you qualify. We will email vouchers to qualifying MSE reviewers at the end of every Monday (or the end of the month to qualifying "super reviewers").

Many thanks!

I'm a bit sceptical to read that the offer has now changed.

It's not very professional to change an offer half way through!

I agree. Whatever's wrong with (ducks to avoid flying objects) having a quality review like Writer's Share (I'm already ducking, it's fine), and rejecting or accepting reviews based on quality, and keep to the original T&C?

Hmm...not sure I can be bothered to write the other 19 reviews now (I've been too busy to get there since Friday), as knowing my luck, they'll change the T&C's again to flap-all as I submit the 20th...

And I'm not putting a pic up. The internet isn't anonymous enough, thanks!

Many thanks for the feedback the reveiw edit feature.

And I agree with deanos that we shouldnt change the goalposts. It would be unfair for you not to earn the vouchers you have already earned.

We require only 200 characters (not words) for reviews. That is roughly 40 words. And for anyone who already earned the vouchers before we clarified our the T&Cs of our offer (we used to say that the reviews need to be of reasonable quality but did not specify a minimum character threshold) we are happy to give you the vouchers that you earned!

And we are also very happy for MSE users who write superb reviews (as most of you are) to continue earning up to £50 of vouchers. Just follow the process outlined in my earlier post to qualify.

you cant blame them for changing things when you look around and see some of the crappy reviews that some ppl are leaving, its pure greed and theyre seeing it as easy money earnt, but without the effort, i also felt i had to requote to relect that theyre being as fair as they can to us from MSE

not 2 happy with putting my pic up either, would just one of my eyes do? lmfao! x

i spent ages writing 40 reviews yestaday morning and still havent heard anything about vouchers....i ll be very upset if i have wasted my time because the offer changed without me knowing it..

This looks a poor show.

A company is allowed to advertise here, then drastically changes its offer (only on here - not by e-mailing those of us that have signed up to do the work for them).

MSE should stick to its rules, and not give companies free advertising if tihis is the thanks we get.

No indeed, and I agree that they're trying to be as fair to us as they can under the circumstances, but I still think that a bit of quality control wouldn't go amiss. I'm happy to do a bit if they'll pay me in Amazon vouchers... seriously. Since I'm now a freelance Dormouse, I'm always looking to add to my work portfolio

do you recieve emails instantly after you do your first 20 reviews because i havent heard a whip

BView are very happy to issue vouchers (£10 for every 20 qualifying reviews)to anyone who wrote reviews under our old T&Cs. To claim your reward, simply send us an email to [EMAIL="feedback@bview.com"]feedback@bview.com[/EMAIL] . (It does not happen automatically.) We will then look over your reviews to check that they meet our former terms (that they are of "reasonable quality") and issue you a voucher. For example, if you made 40 quality reviews, we will issue a £20 voucher.

Most of you seem to understand that we were innundated with spam reviews yesterday so we had to amend our T&Cs to insure a minumum standard of quality. We regret that we had to amend our terms, but we are only trying to protect our community against spam reviews (as many of you have pointed out).

As we explained in my earlier post, we are very happy for MSE users who write high quality reviews to continue to earn up to £50 of vouchers this month. You just need to email us with your MSE username and [EMAIL="feedback@bview.com"]feedback@bview.com[/EMAIL] to tell us that you would like to continue as a "super reviewer". The preponderance of MSE users write great reviews so we have extended this offer to almost every MSE user who has emailed us. (Btw if you are shy about adding a "real" photo, feel free to use an avatar or some other photo to represent your personality!)

Today we have issued Amazon vouchers of between £10 and £50 each to over 20 MSE users. We very much appreciate your help in promoting the best and exposing the worst UK companies. We very much appreciate your understanding of the situation. If you have any concerns I am happy to address them personally. My direct phone line is 0207 920 8001.

I have had a few emails from bview saying that I have earnt my £10 voucher & that I have been registered as a 'super reviewer'

I think they are kosha but i'm not sure what there business plan is, i can't see where they'll make any money, especially as they are offering money for the inital reviews.

I like the idea & will keep putting reviews on as I like sharing my thoughts.

But don't knock them as we all have to start somewhere.
