I was SOO bummed about blasted Superpoints.com going under!!  But I received this email yesterday about a website similar to Super points and thought it was worth signing up for! There’s more than 15 different ways to earn! You can win multiple prizes at GiftHulk Treasure Box and GiftHulk Search – including winning Instant Gift Cards!

Weekly payments are sent out every Sunday! Also, just for signing up through my website link, you’ll get an additional 25 Hulk Coins! Yay!

HERE’S HOW TO SNAG YOUR FREE POINTS!

1. Go to their site and register here. This is my personal link. You MUST use this link to get the first 50 free coins.
2. Then go here and enter the code: MyFreeProductSamples for another 25 free coins!
3. You can then “Like” them on Facebook for another 5 free coins!

So you’ll be able to get 80 free coins right off the bat! A $5 Amazon Card costs 439 Hulk Coins so you’re getting a great head start!

If you have a Smiley 360 account you will want to login and see if you qualify for the new Kmart Mission that is available!  Not every one will qualify but if you do, you could score some sweet freebies! It was in my account, so I can’t wait to see if I qualify!

HERE’S HOW TO APPLY!

1.   Log into your Smiley360 Account here. (If you don’t already have a Smiley360 account you can create one, but you won’t get this mission)
2. Once you log in, click on the “Qualify for a New Mission” Link in your middle section of offers.
3. You will need to take a short survey and once your survey is submitted you will be notified whether or not you have been selected to participate in the mission.

Anytime survey companies open up panelist spots, you will want to sign up!  Depending on the company, you can earn cash, gift cards and a lot of them actually send you free full size samples to test out and review.

You will want to sign up for more than one survey company.  That way, you will always have surveys to take from one of the companies- instead of waiting for one to pop up.

I just heard about this cool survey site just for kids!!  With the help of a parent, your kids can do surveys for either money compensation or the possibility to test new toys! KidzEyes is an online research panel composed of kids’ ages 6-12 years old that live in the United States. KidzEyes is a division of C+R Research, a full-service marketing research firm that opened its doors in Chicago in 1959.

Reader Stephanie Henerson posted about it on our Facebook page. Here’s what she had to say…

“It”s a survey site specifically targeted to kids… they just need an adult to help sign them up and give permission. They send checks every once and a while for compensation… and sometimes you even get to be a product tester. I remember when my sister and I were younger, we received a pilot episode of a new tv show to review and my sister got to test out a super cool doll!”

UPDATE: I received word from the company now that you will create an account, then log into your account to apply! 

There’s a new Tryology Program that will give you the chance to get the newest toy from Hasbro FurReal Friends for Free!  You have until July 2^nd to apply. With this program, moms have the opportunity to get a new interactive toy from Hasbro FurReal Friends for their daughters and review it in video.

 HERE’S HOW TO APPLY!

1. Login or Register for EXPO
2. Once inside of your account,  click the profile tab where you will see all of the programs you are invited to apply to!
3. Look for an invitation to participate if you’re accepted!

Here’s another site I found where you can get the ability to test full size products for free!  It’s called Expo TV! I just barely signed up for it, so I haven’t been assigned to any projects yet! So let me know if you’ve used this in the past and how it’s worked for you!

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS!

* Share your unbiased opinion about products that you own.
* Earn points for providing consumer insights in video, responding to consumer topics and taking surveys.
* Redeem your points for gift cards and merchandise at the EXPO store.
* EXPO offers ways for members to get more involved by doing product research or by referring friends to the site. Plus, you’ll be entered in to monthly drawings where you can win Amazon Gift Cards.
* Get selected to try (& keep) products (sometimes before they hit stores) through the exclusive Expo program called Tryology. You are matched with products based on your interests and responses to surveys, then asked to share your honest opinion in video.
* Keep in mind that you must be at least 18 years of age to submit videos. However, if you are the parent or legal guardian of someone 13 years of age or older, that person may appear in the videos you submit under your account.

HERE’S HOW TO SIGN UP AND GET STARTED!

1. Go to the site and register here!
2. Register and update your profile with all the info you can as this qualifies you for more “Tryology Offers.”
3. You will get an email in about 2-3 hours that will let you know the “Tryology Offers” you can apply for.
4. If you qualify, you’ll get free product.
5. You will be required to upload a video review. Members who do not upload a review of the product after receiving a Tryology kit will not be considered for future Tryology programs.

Neilsen Homescan Panel is back for a limited time. Check it out to see if you are a “fit” for what they are looking for. I wasn’t able to get in, so I can’t give you reviews. But here’s a site describing how it works!

Reader L.M. Carpenter, just emailed me about another product sampling site! This one works a little differently because you earn “odd coins” for doing different things. Then you use those coins to order free product samples!

Here’s what L.M. had to say about this site…
“I’ve order like 6 samples from them and I got them within a week of ordering and one of them was a full sie product with a value of $65. It was all completely free. It does take some work to get the odd coins but it is easy. You just answer the questions/oddstructs and polls, and create your own!”

HERE’S HOW TO SIGN UP!

1. Go to their website here and sign up!
2. You should get 100 free “Odd Coins” just for signing up!
3. Then click on the “Bulletin Board” and vote on people’s polls to earn odd coins.
4. Then click on “Create and Oddstract” to earn 100 points when you create your own mini-poll question!
5. Then click on “Friends” and get your personal referral link to earn 100 coins when your friends sign up!! (feel free to post it in the comments below as well)

This looks like a fun little site to fiddle around on! I’m newer to it, but if you’ve used it before, let me know what your thoughts are on it!!

UPDATE: 6/7  This is working now!

I’ve been posting about more positively rating survey companies since a lot of you have asked about it. All of them so far have been tried and tested from other My Free Product Samples readers.

Ipsos is looking for new members to join their i-Say panel! As part of the Ipsos i-Say Community, you get to see new ideas or test new products and services before anyone else. Earn points for taking surveys and use them towards Cash, Gift Cards or Charities. Win cash and prizes in one or more of their many contests too!

*Note: I will only post legitimate survey companies my readers have had good experiences with.  And, since you can’t control how many surveys they send out to you, I recommend that you sign up for as many as you can.  That way, you will always have surveys coming in from somewhere and an opportunity to earn a little extra cash or free gift cards!

Feel free to share your experience with survey companies (or this one) in the comments below!
