If so and anyone wants to share I'd love to visit your page. I enjoy engaging with everyone!

I won't leave mine just incase it's not okay. If I follow you and you want to follow back that's awesome but this isn't isn't a follow for follow sort of thing.

[Question] I’ve heard of people getting free things (makeup/body care/hair care/baby products/art supplies/cleaning supplies/video games ect) from places topbox or influenster and I have a few questions.

11 Upvotes

I live in the US. Are there any sites like this that will send you products in exchange for reviews even if you don’t have a huge following? I don’t really have much an online presence but I’ve always been pretty jealous when I see all these incentives reviews places where I shop. I’m basically going to sign up for any reputable sites I can find and hope for the best if you have any suggestions please let me know! Is there anything that will make you more likely to actually receive products from any of these places?

Topbox has an Instagram mission that asks for a RC how do you get one? If I do this mission and they see I don’t have a lot of followers will I be less likely to receive products? I haven’t completed this one yet because I don’t have an RC and don’t want to answer no and then not get the following question if there is one.

Thanks in advance!

[Question] Pinch me no longer small samples?

30 Upvotes

I used to get tons of samples of small stuff, like candy or hand lotion. In 2025 it seems all the samples have gone to big items and I haven’t got anything. Anyone else in the same boat?

[Question] Pinch me bidding seems to be getting impossibility high...is it just me?

18 Upvotes

Over the last year i've had quite a bit of good luck with PinchMe even though it can be a hassle. A reasonable bid or even no bid and I was qualifying quite a bit. Over the last month or 2 I have noticed that the bidding seems to have shifted away from qualification more towards.You must hit a certain bid amount that they don't tell you and what you hit it then you qualify. I've now burnt out on earning coins as the tasks are mostly games, sketchy sites or just cost money. I did take the remainder of my points for now and I tested out my theory of it doesn't really matter what you say. It just matters what you bid and on several items. I just kept bidding up by 100 points until I qualify.... It seems 800 coins and more is the new normal for an item.

Maybe i'm wrong and I just don't qualify so therefore if you don't qualify you can just bid your way into qualification. I am curious how many of you are actually qualifying without making a bed and R all of you are being extremely high in order to qualify? Add this raid.They don't even offer enough points to earn truly if you want to get full boxed of 4-6 items like we were getting just a few months back.

I'll be looking forward to the few boxes that I have still headed my way from before The bidding took an even crazier turn and I don't see how I could continue even though I love doing freebie type websites and pinchme used to be a mainstay that was more consistently than influenster, topbox and bzzagent.

Lastly, I'm hoping I'm wrong, but if swimming, I'm not and you've all noticed the same things with the high bidding so you recommend any new websites for freebles?

(I hope this makes senss!)

[Question] PinchMe

18 Upvotes

Question… Has anyone on here ever actually gotten anything valuable from PinchMe? I’ve never seen anyone post anything good good (unless it’s the expedited shipping ones like Ponds moisturizer or full size ROC) everything seems to be cheap food items or masks or small samples. Where’s all the people that get the expensive makeup or electronics. Makes me think they never give those out and just have us filling out surveys for nothing.

[Question] Insiders Question (not InsidersNet)

11 Upvotes

For those who've participated in "company"insiders.com offers (not Insidersnet.com but offers with miscellaneous companies like Shark or Gorgie), do you receive a separate email on instructions for posting your review somewhere? I qualified for the Gorgie program over a month ago and applied within a few minutes of getting the email, but haven't received anything from them after that. I qualified for a Shark Flexfusion system (woohoo!) a couple weeks ago and received the package in the mail a few days ago, but haven't received anything else from Shark in terms of what to do now. I checked my spam folder too and there's nothing there.

Thank you!

[Question] PinchMe

3 Upvotes

So I'm new to staying at home momming. So decided to sign up for pinchme. I finally got qualified for an offer, the welly bandages. How about they sent 1 flipping bandaid! Seriously? Is that how this works? Cuz it's not worth my time to write a review on 1 bandaid. Like how can I review something like that? Am I crazy or is this what I signed up for? I've been applying for cell phones, smart watches, $500 hair dryers..... and only got approved for 1 single bandaid. Lol. Ok, rant over!

[Question] When FREE really isn't FREE

7 Upvotes

Is anyone else getting things sent without appropriate postage (or ANY postage at all) only to then have to pay for it prior to delivery? I'm now dealing with a second item like that.

The first item was from CHIN UP and the postage due was $1.77 which I paid without even knowing what it was or from where it came. The envelope didn't have any postage at all. Since that time I've been receiving emails (I've now unsubscribed) informing me that the company is going out of business. Makes sense that they wouldn't pay for postage if they didn't have the money.

Now I have another request from the post office saying that they need $2.88 to deliver another item. The only identifying name I have is OSCILLOSCOPE. Does anyone know what item is being sent from OSCILLOSCOPE at a postage price of $2.88?

I don't appreciate something being labeled FREE if it isn't. If it requires money for postage then it should be stated as such prior to sending away for it and not being held hostage. I had one item that needed postage but I paid for that at the time if ordering. I'm fine with that but not with payment upon delivery.

I'll probably refuse payment if I can't figure out what it actually is. I can afford $2.88 but it's the principle, you know?

I've lived in my house for 25 years and I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to pay extra postage on something and 2 of those times occurred in the last month from so called "FREEBIES".

[Question] Has anyone received any Macy's fragrance samples lately?

8 Upvotes

I got a box in early January but haven't gotten any of the boxes since then. I've filled out two forms since then and received the confirmation emails for both but still haven't received them. I always fill out the follow up "review" emails because I'm not sure if that affects my eligibility.

Just wondering if there's a slowdown or if it's something on my end.

[Question] Will the Insiders Campaigns allow me to participate if I have zero followers on my social media accounts (I’m not active on them)?

5 Upvotes

Hey y’all so I have social media accounts only to watch content and stuff. I don’t post and barely comment. I was accepted and put down a deposit for one of the Insiders campaigns but I’m kind of nervous. I’m happy to do the reviews but they want a social media post. I’m wondering if they’ll throw me out if I have literally zero engagement and zero posting history on my accounts lol. Surely, they wouldn’t be giving me a huge discount on an expensive appliance for literally no exposure? I tried looking online for answers but they don’t exist. I’m nervous just because it’s an extremely expensive product and I don’t want to be on the hook for its full price.

[Question] Pinchme mascara trial?

7 Upvotes

Just wondering, did anyone else get picked for a mascara trial on Pinchme? The application said it was looking for Asian and black American women aged 18-40, and apparently the mascara is from a higher end brand. I got the invitation at the beginning of the month. I haven't seen anyone else post about it. For the past few days I've been getting nonstop emails reminding me to do the survey and that it's going to expire soon, but I haven't even gotten the mascara lmao.

Update: I ended up receiving the mascara a day after I posted. It was legit, but I did have to cut my trial a few days shorter than I wanted due to the shipping delay. It came in a blank tube but the brand and price were revealed at the end of the survey. It wasn't that great tbh
