bzz agent - consumer testing panel (aka lookie what i got to try out!)

[MissLindaJean]

I bet! I drank a ton of coffee when I lived up there with all rain and such - it was definitely much needed! I was amazed at amount of little coffee shack/stands even just in Silverdale lol! Hope this campaign is a good one! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I think it's a PNW thing.. with the stands everywhere. My fave is Cafe Perfetto.. love the taste and the owner is great. Plus, I can get my fix before my shifts start since they're open til 7p.m. They have the motto "Friends don't let you drink Starbucks." Lol hilarious. I feel like I'm cheating when I go to Starbucks. :/

Haha I kind of developed that feeling after a while myself! I loooved all the flavors and combinations that the little stands offer that Starbucks does not. I think the first one I went to was off the 303 going north toward Silverdale, on a little road right before the big driving range/paintball place (I think the road was called Brownsville or something?). It was delish! My fiance's favorite drive-through place was Bay Street Coffee in Bremerton.

 

[MissLindaJean]

Bay St is hugely popular (love that they offer roast options!) and I know the stand you're talking about. Near the driving range and paintball place? Starbucks is good, but not great IMO. I love that I can go to any shack/stand and get a huge variety for a better price and I'm supporting a local business! It's crazy the mark up on Starbucks.. double the cost compared to my usual haunts!

Yay! My Hills Valley Ranch kit came in today! of course, the day I am leaving town for a few days. LOL

But I am going try out the recipe they included when I get back!

How many gallons of paint are they giving you? I think they're $68.

Idk if any of you are members of smiley360 but they have two new mission up. Bic markers & V8 fusion energy drink.

I applied to the Bic mission and picked the witch hat as my first craft choice to pin on Pinterest. I applied to the mattress one too. My pug even got a plain wrapped bag of dog food from a research company to try for the week. lol

I wanted to get in on the Green Mountain Coffee campaign. Guess I'll just have to stick to my Stumptown Roast.

I applied for both Bic & V8. I only heard back from and got into V8 though. Do you know if theres a limit on active missions?

I'm in 3 right now and passed on 2. I guess we'll see. Their facebook app doesn't ever seem to work for me. I emailed them about it.

I think the most I've ever been in at once is 4 at once. I'm not sure if there's a hard limit, but it's rare that I've been in more than 3 at once.  Usually once I hit 3, I don't get any more invites until all 3 of them are done, and my bzz account goes quiet for a few weeks or months before I'll get another invite.  Although 2-3 campaigns seems rather common too, in my personal experience.

I will say I've been getting a LOT more invites since they switched over from Bee levels to BzzScore though.

You guys are killing me with your PNW coffee talk! I wish wish wish I lived there with you guys!

I can't believe that more places like that don't exist across the States. I can understand in hot climates and super urban areas like DC or NYC...coffee houses or Starbucks prevailing there.. There probably are some in other states, but I know they're all over in WA and other areas in PNW. Great small business opportunity and there are 15+ I think, just in a 10 mile radius of me..plus 8 Starbucks? Yum! Coffee, tea, chai, cocoa and little snacks.

Thank you sharing with us....!!!!

A follow up for the curious:

I never got my Glade campaign coupons in the mail.  It took them a while to get back to me after I mailed support after the 21 days.  This is the message I received:

Hello,

We're sorry to hear that you haven't received your Glade BzzKit yet.  Your kit was shipped on 9/4/12 to the address on your account, so you should have received your kit by now. Note, this was not an actual 'kit', it was a plain, white envelope with coupons in it.

For some campaigns we have extra stock and are able to re-ship BzzKits/coupons, but unfortunately we did not receive any extra stock for this campaign.

If you did not complete any campaign activities, please let us know and we can exclude you from this campaign

So whoop dee do.  Nothing for me. I had to have them pull me from the campaign since my score was starting to suffer from inactivity.  Lame, but just so you know in case you don't get your coupons it seems they might not be able to do anything about it.

It's just my dream to be a Pacific NorthWester! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Hearing about all of these lovely little stands makes it a whole lot more appealing!

Mermuse  - PM me if you want some of the coupons. I have extras and can send them to you. With the $2/$4 off, the spray ends up being $1 and the diffuser is like $2 at my local Target.

Have you traveled up here before? Definitely do, if you haven't. Lots to do!

Thanks so much for the offer, but I'll pass on this one. I already told them to take me off of the campaign because I had already lost points.  I'm just annoyed that they goofed somewhere and while that's still a good deal, I'm not interested enough to pay to participate.
