Check out this email and picture above that I received from reader, Theresa…

Since August, I have done quite a few surveys for Synovate and have been asked to do a product study twice for different sets of perfumes. The perfumes were sent in a box with instructions to only use one a day for 5 days. At the end of each day, I was to report back on the fragrance (whether it was too strong, too weak, etc.) Once done with the survey, I was able to keep the small samples of perfume (see in the picture above) but I have no idea what brand they really are!!

After the first product sampling and a few other online (5-15 minute) surveys, I racked up enough to cash in a $10 check and just today, received another $5 for my survey feedback!

    Yay! I am a newbie to Synovate as well and just completed one of the perfume surveys as well! I can’t wait for more opportunities to come my way!

  2. Alea

    I’ve been part of Synovate for awhile and haven’t been able to sample any new products yet!

    Nice! be careful about talking about brand names though, whenever I have taken these surveys I have to agree to keep the info confidential.

    I joined awhile ago and to date have had no surveys available for me to take. Does it have something to do with my demographics?

    I love Synovate. I have nothing bad to say about the company and SO many good things to say. I’ve earned over $100 in cash for my opinion, and have been able to test over 6 products (in about a years time). They are an awesome company. I have been very pleased.

  6. Lindy

    I have been a member for over a year and only got to test one product. Actually it was my teen daughter, it was candy. Guess I’m just not in the age catagory they are mostly looking for.

    I’ve earned lots of cash and have even tested deoderant, lol! I’m expecting some oatmeal in the mail any day. I’ve actually enjoyed it!

  8. photography4thecreator

    worst survey sight ever! I have been a member for over 5 months and don’t even have 5 points worth of surveys!

    I love Synovate as well 🙂 My only gripe with it is I used to get surveys and TONS of product testing (including the perfume above but mine was in november-ish, and lots of different shampoos, body wash’s facial cleansers and stuff), but the past 2 months or so I haven’t received any opportunities 🙁 I miss it!!!! :p
    I guess it’s good though to give others an opportunity (bah!!!) but if you’re not getting surveys and product tests, just hang in there. You’ll get them!! You go through dry spells, and then get tons of surveys and pt’s, and then more dry spells!! But it’s definitely worth it 🙂

    I’ve been a member since last Nov. and have never been asked to do any testing on any products yet but I have filled out surveys for the company. I have almost 10,000 pts. just haven’t cashed them in yet. Every once in awhile I e-mail asking how come I never get picked to test products or haven’t been getting any surveys just to see if that makes any difference. Seems to help on getting the surveys.

    I have been a member of this site for awhile also. I have tested a few different products, but I wouldn’t list them either since it says that when you do the surveys. I’m not saying anyone is doing anything wrong I’m just saying I won’t do it. If you are a member don’t get frustrated you simply have to wait until your answers match up with what they need and they will send you the product to test. 🙂 Also be sure to do the follow up surveys they send after the product (I’m sure you already know that. 🙂 )

  12. Deedee

    I have been a member for a while but haven’t been able to open any of my surveys. When i click the link in the email it doesn’t work (error page). When I copy/paste the link, still doesn’t work. Doesn’t open from the website either. Does anyone else have this problem? i am not sure how to fix it. I’ve been in communication with Marie from Synovate but so far still haven’t been able to resolve the issue.

  13. Ashley

    sounds good, i signed up 🙂

  14. Bree

    I signed up and have done quite a few surveys and also won $10 in their monthly drawing! Can’t complain too much since its not really a way of making a lot of money. I received my perfumes yesterday in the mail. Its pretty fun to do the blind testing!

    Ashley, hope you enjoy it!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      well im new I signed up a month ago. I dont get any surveys from them. I will hang in there and see what happens.

  15. ddeloya

    I joined a month ago and I havent been so lucky to get survey invites but I will still keep trying

  16. RH

    Got a survey a couple of days ago…and at the end it told me that I qualified to test out perfume! YAY!!! 🙂
