Free resources we’re underutilizing

I recently found out about several free resources I’ve not been utilizing. First, my public library has Kanopy access, which is a free movie streaming service—it’s like Netflix but using your library card. Next, you can get free kids books every month using Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. This last one’s only sort of a freebie, but if you already have Spotify, you also get 15 free hours of audiobook listening time per month. I totally did not realize that was a thing I could’ve been taking advantage of.

Anyone else have any similar freebies that people don’t take advantage of enough?

Highlight question

I recently completed a highlight trial for a snack bar -- all of the other blind/unlabeled products I've tried in the past have told me the product name/manufacturer in the surveys at some point. This one didn't! Is there a way to contact them to ask this? I really liked it and wanted to keep my eyes open for if/when it comes to market!

Did anyone do this haircare study through ipsos? Needing help.

Im wondering if anyone else who did this knows what company it was through and if you were ever paid? Its from ipsos who says they send the product out, but do not handle payment and I need to "reach out to the company panel who sent it" - which I thought was ipsos! I am so confused and wondering if anyone else did this study and recieved their payment and can help me guide me a bit!

Thanks so much for your time.

I’m new here and apologize in advance if this post is unacceptable.

I am not sure where to start or how to start receiving test products or free items, and I’m very interested if anybody is willing to point me in a direction to learn.

Thank you so much.

Topbox Circle sent me the wrong shade but still wants a review

I got a campaign from Topbox Circle for the Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Matte Setting Powder Veil, but they sent me the Translucent Deep shade and I’m a light medium/medium.

I emailed them and they basically just said “go ahead and proceed with the review,” but like how? They sent me one of the deepest shades I can’t actually use this on my face ...

Aerie realmakers program

I saw a new program on IG that aerie, which is part of American eagle, is starting. You just have to do a couple of activities to get $25 gift card. They are looking for people to post on IG and TT who have 1500 followers or greater. I just signed up and it looks pretty cool. https://community.aerie.com/i/elizabeth.l

When you see the dreaded "pending" on pinchme 😞😭😩

When you see "pending" in my experience... You're not gonna get it 😭😩 Did anyone grab these protein Mac and cheese + other food goodies? Did you say you buy protein Mac and cheese or did you say you've never tried it? Trying to see if they are trying to approve people who've never tried it vs people who have tried it sometime

Almost finally got a big item

All I’ve gotten since I’ve signed up is shampoos and body washes and dish soap 😭 I did get a few other small items like roc lip volumizer and a hair spray. But I finally got a notification for a nice item & I clicked the notification 5 minutes after it was received and the items were all out. How is it all gone in 5 minutes?! 😭

Need help!

I just received this in the mail and I have absolutely no idea where it came from! None of the testing sites I’m signed up for are showing anything about it. Does anyone know what company or program this might be from?

Macy's

Mostly mens fragrance samples again 😹

(Haven't smelled any of em yet)

I have a feeling I'll like the Million Elixir though

Need Help!!!

I just received a package today with shampoo and conditioner, and I can’t figure out which company sent it. I haven’t gotten any emails or notifications about it, so I’m not sure where it came from. Does anyone know which testing site this might be from, maybe Respondent? I checked my dashboard there and don’t see anything. If anyone has experienced this or has an idea, I’d really appreciate the help!

For HomeTesterClub, Did anyone just say "I can't find a convenient location to redeem the link/coupon provided.... sorry"? Because I have one still in limbo and there just aren't any dang pretzels around me!!!

It's just not in stock. And I don't feel like putting any more thought into it, as it's really not that big of a deal to me
