There was a hit at some point this week that had you fill out a Google survey to say if you were interested in product testing. The point seems to be that you buy products on Amazon, are reimbursed within 1 day, and then write a review for some sort of reward (points of unknown value).
Has anyone heard of or worked with this company before? Or has worked for them. The website looks a bit sketch and their internet history only dates back to last month.
They request:
- Order number (fine)
- Total price (fine)
- PayPal email address (potentially fine)
-

Their company is not registered, at least under the stated name, with NY state. :/

Doing reviews like that for amazon is against amazon's TOS so I doubt that it is legit or at the very least it won't last long. There is also issues with amazon vine having people pay income tax on the reviewed items.

Oh, that's a good point. I haven't read the ToS that carefully. Thanks!

I've been part of their program for a month now. Completely free stuff and all that is expected is feedback about the items for the merchants. Also, they hint at but dont require online reviews.
Product testing is a large industry that dates back to before the internet. I don't mind providing the feedback and the online reviews as well as I understand that these merchants are promoting their goods.
I was part of Amazon's vines program as well which didn't seem to be as organized.
