…and more!

How Does it Work?

By signing up with Crowdtap, you’ll be presented with a variety of opportunities to complete and you’ll be helping brands make major marketing decisions as well as help spread the buzz about products you like! You’ll also be able to answer “Info questions” that will help them better match you with more opportunities. How do you earn points that can be converted into gift cards, t-shirts and more? You can earn points by earning top awards as a result of providing meaningful responses in discussions and participating in discussions daily.

1.) Just head on over here and sign up for a Crowdtap account with your Facebook account
2.) Answer a few polls (click on Quick Hits) to help brands target you by your interests
3.) View Opportunities and participate with the brands and offers that interest you
4.) Earn status, rewards, and charity – the more you do, the more you get, the more you give!

How do the Rewards Work?

You’ll be able to redeem your earnings in the following ways…

*Gift Cards – Your Crowdtap points can be redeemed for Amazon.com gift cards
*Help Charities – You can choose to help your selected charity
*Free Products – Some activities will also offer free products and other goodies

Also, the points you earn determine your “level” and each level you obtain gives you privileges on the site and showcases your accomplishment. However, keep in mind that points and dollars are completely separate in Crowdtap. Points will help you level up, unlock badges, and compete with your friends while moving up the leaderboard. Dollars translate to real money and can be redeemed for Amazon gift cards or donated to your selected charity. Individual actions can earn you points, dollars, or both but points and dollars are not directly related to one another.

I have also gotten lots of full sized products to try such as quaker granola bars, friskies can cat food, TONS of toilet paper, J&J baby wash, and more. NO reason not to join for sure!

I have been with Ipsos for about two years now. I have gotten to try new products before they were out on the shelves. I am in the process of building my points up to cash in for AMEX cards for my vacation in September. I love this site!

I have been on here for about a year and I have earned enough to receive gift cards in exchange for points earned and I have tested things like diapers and hair products too. I’m not going to pay my cell bill with what I earn but it is something to do and get some nice returns.

This is my favorite survey, I enjoy doing the game at the end. I have cashed out my points for money & have done product tests on shampoo; cone air fresheners; dog chew treats & lotions, all full size products. You never know when you get picked to do product test so I complete all surveys completely. I totally recommend joining this one!

I joined not too long ago and within a month I had earned enough points for a $20 PayPal credit, and am well on my way to more rewards. I also love the Poll Predictor game at the end of the surveys that give chances to earn big cash rewards.

I’ve been doing those for about 4 months now and it’s awesome. I get points easily and save them up for a variety of gift cards or a check! plus I’ve gotten tons of free toilet paper and paper towels from them to try!

How about you?! Have you joined Ipsos yet? If so, what has your experience been like?!

Check out what one Hip2Save reader who is currently a Pink Panel member had to say when I posted a previous opportunity…

I recently completed an anti-aging skin care trial as a Pink Panel member. The full size products they sent turned out to be very high-end (read “expensive”) products, something I never would have purchased on my own. I loved using them and they actually produced visible results. The whole process was easy, and I received a $75 Amazon gift card as compensation! I would highly recommend this to anyone.

So what are you waiting for? Head on over here to see if you qualify for their current product testing opportunity! If you’re not a member, head on over to their Facebook page to sign up for FREE with The Pink Panel. If you are a current Pink Panel member, please share your experiences with all of us.

How Does it Work?

By signing up with Crowdtap, you’ll be presented with a variety of opportunities to complete and you’ll be helping brands make major marketing decisions as well as help spread the buzz about products you like! You’ll also be able to answer “Info questions” that will help them better match you with more opportunities. How do you earn points that can be converted into gift cards, t-shirts and more? You can earn points by earning top awards as a result of providing meaningful responses in discussions and participating in discussions daily.

1.) Just head on over here and sign up for a Crowdtap account with your Facebook account
2.) Answer a few polls (click on Quick Hits) to help brands target you by your interests
3.) View Opportunities and participate with the brands and offers that interest you
4.) Earn status, rewards, and charity – the more you do, the more you get, the more you give!

Dollars translate to real money and can be redeemed for Amazon gift cards or donated to your selected charity. Individual actions can earn you points, dollars, or both but points and dollars are not directly related to one another.

Be on the lookout for specially marked boxes of Totino’s Party Pizza (like the picture below). These specially marked boxes state, ”Get $5 Grocery Cash (After Rebate)”. Basically you’ll just need to purchase 4 participating boxes of Totino’s Party Pizza, then go to the website found here and enter the 4 codes found inside the boxes to score either a FREE $5 rebate check by mail or via PayPal! How sweet is that?!

(Photo Credit: Reader, Casey)

Totino’s Pizza boxes are regularly priced around $2 and go on sale for $1 quite often, so possibly a moneymaker with the $5 Grocery Cash offer. Check out the email I received from reader, Casey:

At my local grocery store in St. Louis (Schnucks); Totina’s pizzas are 10/$10. On certain boxes it says, “Get $5 Grocery Cash (After Rebates) when you purchase 4 specially marked boxes.” In this case, it is a moneymaker! I thought this was a pretty sweet deal!
