Here’s what Hip2Save Readers have to say about this panel… 

I’ve been a member of their testing panel for about 6 months. I’ve tested two really cool (and yummy!) products so far and have been compensated VERY nicely! It’s definitely worth it! ∼ Maria


I have been a member for over a year and the surveys are not long at all. I would highly recommend filling out the application. There is a chance to win a gift card for each survey you complete. I have tested 4 products thus far. ∼ Patti


I live near Hunt Valley, MD and have been on their consumer tasting panel for ~4-5 years. My husband does it and I recruited several co-workers. They typically pay $30 for a 1/2 hour test. I have very much enjoyed the process. I’ve never done any at-home or any focus groups. The foods are always interesting, and I highly recommend joining! ∼ Melissa B.

    I applied. I live one hour away from the MD location so hopefully I can do that part! I’m 23 and just now learning to cook for myself, seems like a good opportunity to learn about new items lol

    • Debra B.

      Very cool! Good luck!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Awesome! Good luck Emily!

    I do this and love it. They mail you the product, you use it and take pics, take the follow up survey and they send you an amazon gift card. It’s painless and fun!
    I also do mint Vine! I got tons of gift cards this way.

      How long did it take to receive the gift card? And was it email or mail? It’s been about two weeks and I haven’t received a gift card.

    I have been doing this for some time now. More often than not you will receive a survey to take concerning new products they are developing, but I have received products, most of them rubs, to test on several occasions and the compensation is very nice.

      hi everytime I do the survey for the home taste test they always say I don’t qualify for their study. let’s say they want to do a test on rubs, what did you select for their survey?? I’ve done like 20 surveys they all don’t qualify me

      • TOM

        I have had the same….I signed up maybe 3 years ago….and every notification they have sent I do the survey, only to be told at end I dont qualify….frustrating and a waste of time….I have not be given even one test…what on earth is the “requirement” to qualify….and why on earth do they keep sending notifications only to shoot you down by the end of the questionaire

    I signed up for this program a few years ago, and they sent me a package of food coloring to try. Unfortunately, it was damaged in the mail, so I couldn’t do the test. I let them know about the damage, and although they acknowledged receiving my message, I never heard from them again. Based on the positive reviews I’m reading here, I think I’ll apply again and see what happens.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Thanks for sharing your experience Diane! Hoping it works more smoothly for you this time!

  7. Tom

    Signed up for the Mc Cormick home testing…..wish I could comment ….Signed up a year and a half ago…..get notifications, do the little “test” to see if you qualify….”sorry you dont qualify for this test”…….ever !!!!…lol..kind of a waste of time if you dont even get off the starting block….not sure what they want to hear….pretty mundane questions…Im scratching my head….got one today as a matter of fact…..
