Angry Bzz Agent Campaigns

Wow, I really looked forward to joining the bzz after finding out they offer free products for WOM advertising. Well, I am quite disappointed with the company as a whole. I have done more than expected of me for doing the last campaign (the only one) and nothing. I finally get an invite to do the science diet one but too good to be true. They send out an email with a big OOOpppps that I am not in the proper demographic for it and offer me a campaign for some crappy game system for $50 bucks. I hear everyone else getting these great campaigns now for mags and coffee but still nada......anyone else experiencing the same problem. I have early invite status too. I find it very frustrating. I have joined pinecone and already received a check for a survey 5 days later and even though their surveys don't come often I do get invites unlike the bzz.

I just canceled my profile with bzz agent as I found the same thing, always doing the surveys and waiting for invites that never came. It was a waste of my time, but I am not anywhere near Toronto so that may be a part of it.

I got the game invite...at $50?! It's only been a few weks but it's getting annoying. I've done 13 frogs in the frog pond and some of the stuff their flogging seems a bit unethical...credit cards for children?...student loan lenders (not banks)?...I'm sticking to it until the end of August and see what happens by then.

Well, I guess I am the only one on here that is going to test the game wave. I signed up for this last week and received an e-mail today saying that they are going to send me an extra game for joining. So getting the console, remotes and 5 games. I will let everyone know if it was a huge mistake or not. At the very least I will have another DVD player in the house.

i like bzz agent, they don't promise free stuff or that you will get invited to everything, so i haven't been expecting alot, i do all the surveys and polls and look throught the frog pond once and awhile. i have gotten some good caompains over the years (been a member for 2) i got the nestea ice tea singles, shay lee (sp?) butter and well as the WOM manuel, i was asked to join the wave consol and really wanted too but i can't afford it right now. there are thousands of people that have joined bzz agent, you cannot expect to get invited to everything. if you are in it for the "freebies" then quit because there aren't a lot, but if you like to be a product tester or part of helping a company with product placement then stick with it, in time it will happen

--cheetah, let me know how the wave system works, it looked cool and a very good deal, i wish i could have done it

I am actually really pleased with the game wave the game console is very attractive and it hold all 4 remotes with a clear cover over them. I received 7 games in all. Four Degrees Trivia, Rewind Trivia, Lock 5, Sudoko, Letter Zap, Click, and Gemz. The Trivia is one of my favourites. I like that you can play as an individual or all together. It is really fast paced. It is way better than board games and faster too. We can play simular games of trivia pursuit, wheel of fortune, boggle within a half hour. I am glad I did this campaign but already want new games for it. Since each game is $24.99 I think it was a good deal if you can afford it. Cheers

I didn't sign up to get "freebies". Like you say, I wanted to learn about new products and perhaps test them. I also like to share things that I try with friends to see if they would like them as well. This is why I signed up with Bzz agent. I waited for a whole year, did the frogs, did every survey that came my way and nothing. I just got tired of checking in with the website every day, it got boring. But as I said I am no where near Toronto, so perhaps I never qualified because I am geographically challenged..lol.

I joined BzzAgents on June 7/07 I only do surveys and never have participated in the frogpond. Campaigns so far: Aug/07-Nesquick
Aug/07-Nestea Singles
Oct/07-Carbonite
Jan/08-GayLea Butter
Mar/08-Oreo Cakesters
Mar/08-Crest Whitestrips
July/08- Zap-it Game Wave

The last campaign was the only one I paid for all others were completley free. I am now at Level 4 Honey Bee-with early invites. Do the surveys and give at least 3 good BZZ Reports. That is all that I do. I love trying these new products and sharing them with family and friends.
