I'm trying to send bzz my links for the reviews I wrote for the neutrogena foundation on target, ulta, Walgreens etc but they did not accept the links cause they do not open my specific review. I'm not getting it! There is not an URL for my specific review! How am I supposed to send them am URL if there is not an URL for my specific review? Influenster made that option much easier and I can upload a jpg as proof. How do you guys do that?

 
The crappiest part about the whole Nasacort campaign was that I couldn't do any of my bzzing in time before they closed it. So now my bzzscore is even lower than before.

I had to upload screenshots of my comment/review for different things.

Yes that would work but for the neutrogena foundation campaign they do not led me upload a document. There is only space for an URL. So weird!

Pain in the ***, but you could anonymously upload a screenshot to http://imgur.com/ and include the imgur link as the URL.

 
I got an invite to the Special K Coffee House Breakfast Shake campaign today. I've never tried one, but I'm always looking for quick breakfast options, so I'm excited for this one. I've had a long dry spell going.

So wait... is that like your morning coffee and breakfast shake in one? I can't decide if it's the most beautiful thing ever or an abomination.

I manged to submit one task before they closed it. I got up to like 6-something and it dropped me to 5.9 after they closed. And since, my bzzagent has been silent. This was my first ever campaign, too. The paranoid voice inside me says that I shan't receive anymore.

I agree, it's almost taking it too far. And yes, it's a protein/breakfast shake with as much caffeine as a cup of coffee.
 
I finally got another campaign after nearly a year of not getting any. It's for the Special K coffee thingy lol. I'm just so glad to have one that I don't care what it is for lol. I used to get so many campaigns and then to have such a long dry spell that I am excited to try anything new for free :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
My gosh my dry spell is going on a couple months now! I had so many campaigns for a while I almost couldn't keep up, and now I haven't had any. Come on Bzz Agent Gods! Bring me stuff to sample!

I'm still so completely pissed off about the Kroger Inspired Gathering campaign. I'm a college student and I was promised $25 off my groceries... that's a HUGE deal for me... and BzzAgent's customer service has been so terrible throughout this process. I just talked to them on the phone and the guy was so rude and was telling me that I shouldn't feel disappointed, BzzAgent should because the coupon was shared on blogs. Give me a break. It's their fault for not making unique coupons. It's not that hard to figure out that you should probably use unique coupons for something like this. UGH! Seriously disgusted!

WOW unbelievable that they said that to you. I would be annoyed too. I would write that guys name down, call back and cause a huge stink about him and the way he spoke to me. I'm HUGE on customer service and that's just ridiculous.

This issue was BzzAgent's fault. Being a "free stuff" site in a lot of people's eyes, BzzAgent should know full well what they are getting into if they release a general coupon instead of a unique one for each person in the campaign. They should have a couple employees dedicated to that campaign, working on getting compensation in some way for those who were part of it.

I get really irritated with these kinds of companies who require a TON of work to be done for a bottle of shampoo, yet when there is lack of effort on THEIR part, suddenly they play the whole, "oh but you got a free sample why are you complaining?" Seriously those of us who work our butts off on these campaigns definitely don't feel like it's a "free sample." I consider it what it is: product sent to me to promote and review honestly, which is a lot of work.

Sorry about the ramble, it just angers me to the core that they're treating you so poorly when I feel like they should be doing a lot more to fix their mistake.

Thank you so much for this post! I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that this is just not right.

I remember his name so I'll call back or email and ask to speak to a supervisor. Maybe that way I can talk to someone different, because everytime I call, I always get this guy!

Another thing he said to me touches on something you said. He said, "You're not out on money, we are, so you shouldn't feel disappointed." Well... sure, I'm not out money, but you guys promised me and other agents something, and you failed. And instead of trying to contact us and apologize, they're just acting like nothing happened. It's so not fair.

 
So is the word that they aren't going to do anything about the people in the campaign who didn't get the coupon? I'm not doing activities, I think they should give us the option of having it be as though it was never accepted. The stuff we get isn't free, we are being paid for marketing.

The guy told me they're working on providing a coupon that will be "significanly less in value."

 
Ugh I hate being a witchy princess but I only accept campaigns if I want the compensation and am willing to do the things they require for it. I wish I were better at being disagreeable with customer service.

 
Is anyone else having issues submitting things right now? Trying to submit a BzzReport for the Schick razor and it brings me to the weird error page and makes me log in again.

Don't worry, I just took over as witchy princess and sent a strongly-worded email dissing "Pete," the mean customer service guy, and the campaign in general.

I can't even get on the homepage. A weird error shows up.
