Sircle Samples

[EmJay]

IsThatOdd is more social oriented as it takes having to participate in the discussions on the site and starting your own to earn coins. Sircle Samples is more product/sample oriented, their sample coin prices are drastically lower than IsThatOdd and they give you plenty of coins to order a few samples from the start, earning points in done by reviews samples and filling out surveys.  

That's my take on it, at least.

I agree they are way better then most other sites, but I was referring to their website(which has a LOT of issues, I can't even count anymore). Especially if they already have a site that does basically the same thing(they use the same pictures even! which I found amusing). I probably wouldn't be very interested about this if it wasn't for the fact I live with 2 web designers/computer programmers/developers, and have many others in my friend/family circles /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

Just seems strange to me is all, and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of the relation between Is That Odd and Sircle Samples, because I still don't quite understand why they would start a whole new thing, that has the same premise. I know some companies do it to appeal to a younger/older crowd or just get a different audience but that doesn't seem like the motive behind this, so I was just wondering.

To me, sircle samples seems more geared towards beauty while isthatodd is a social site.

I think both are market research for various brands. We are trading our habits- social media, shopping, likes, etc- for samples

They're both owned by the same company, which I think is Sircle Advertising. I was invited to become a company for IsThatOdd and declined and a few months later got an email about Sircle Samples. It is a legit site, as I have sent out samples as well as many other companies too. Why they decided to open up 2 I have no idea but as someone else said, I think ITO is more socially driven and SS is more about getting product into a consumers hand.

Is That Odd seems to be about general topics, while Sircle Samples is only beauty.

Is anyone else having a problem with their coins updating?  I took the beauty profile and my 1000 point still have not been applied.  Plus I have taken surveys and the info isn't even registering under my account info much less added to my total coin amount.  I have emailed them but no response.

 

[nelliebelle1197]

The same survey has been showing up for the last few days for me. Sometimes I get credit when I retake, sometimes not. They are still in beta

I signed up on April 4th, I believe, and have had the same "Survey of the Day" every day. I've completed it multiple times but have yet to see any points for even completing it once under my account activity. I do realize they are still in the beta testing stage though. Hopefully they email you some sort of response soon.

Just scored the brushes...woohoo! It won't give me coins for reviewing though & I'm down to 70 coins

 

[wadedl]

It won't give me any more points and I really want the brushes. I need 40 more. The survey did not give me points and neither did the wish list.

 Thanks!

I just got the brushes too, woohoo!!

I could be wrong but I think someone actually reviews the surveys and stuff to add the points. At least I feel like that's how it is because everything adds on for me at the same time. BB used to be that way too.

 

[o0jeany0o]

Me too! I hope something super awesome doesn't come up soon. It's hard to get these points!!

 With the first survey I took it updated my point automatically.   Now it's not even showing I took the last two surveys I did under my account info. 

 

[eclipsechick08]

Wow, I managed to get the brushes too!

 

[Jwls750]

Me too! I just picked up the brushes! Awesome. I was waiting for something I actually wanted to get on here besides the cream and hair ties /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[TonyaK]

I think I got the brushes, too. I got an error when I placed my order, but when I went back to the home page the 600 coins were missing. Here's hoping!

 

[kdrzrbck]

I decided to pass on the brushes.  I already have a good brush set so I decided to save those points for something else that is awesome.  I curious to see how you all like those brushes though when you get them!
