Unhelpful

Asked for my account to be removed receently, after years of applying and no reply to emails. Received numerous emails this week to confirm participation in a vape study but link did not work so a total waste of time.

Support team is cherry picking tickets

*Edited* Thank you for your response, I have sent another enquiry to the team (and I have since received their response too) - I didn't realise it was a no-reply email address. I have change my review score. :)

I have been with them for close to 1 year, I had some free products to test and then provide the honest reviews for the potential buyers, so I used to love it a lot.

Recently I have issue with my account as I noticed that the amount of the reviews I created doesn’t add up, I contact their support team but I have never received any response. I had to create another ticket to see if they would response, and then a few days later I finally got a response, but once I replied, they just disappeared again. This actually reminds me that a few months ago I sent them an email regarding the review status and I didn’t receive any response at all. I feel like that their support team really hates their job, therefore If you want to join this website you firstly need to pray for not having any issue with your account or reviews.

I've been a member of Home Home Tester Club member of 4 yearsTester Club…

I've been a member of Home Tester Club Canada for about 4 years now. HTC has been extreamly generous to me for product testing. I did alot of reviews when I got started to help me get noticed a bit. I have done home testing for a few different platforms and Home Tester Club is one of my favorite. I have tested makeup, skin care, paint, coffee syrup, haircare products and a wide range of all kinds of different things. I always make sure to do my reviews on time with thoural, thought out and detailed responses about my expirences. I try to be very mindful with photos, ensureing the scenery fits the product that I am displaying. Its like christmas when I see a box at my front door. I love receiving products to test out, expecally since I don't have to pay for them and sometimes get to try out things that are really new on the market. In return my reviews help various company's verify the longevity, durability, efficiency, etc to the public, this way my reviews help consumers make the best choice when shopping for an item that they are in the market for but have no expirence with. I check in about 2 times a week to see if there are any surveys and often leave my expirences on different items that are featured on my own time, not just reviewing strictly the items I get free. I appricate the trust Home Tester Club showed me in the beginning, by sending products to my home and I try to show my apprication by being an active member. All I have to do if fill out a simple survey and if I fit the demographics, age range, whatever it is that campaign is looking for I will recieve an email stating that I have been selected. The item will be shipped conviently right to my door, or I will recieve a digital gift card to purchase the item online. After testing the product(s) out, I sign into my HTC account and bring up the page I need to review and fill out my honest expirence. Being an active member has also helped me recieve the "Top contributer product test". This is an exclusive product testing opportunity for select members that are most active contributing reviews on the platform. This is a really great expirence and an amazing opportunity to recieve a wide range of products you maybe otherwise might not ever try out.

Love Home Tester Club

Been a member since December 2022 and have tested 8 products so far and think there is another one on the way too, love home tester club! Its great as you get to keep the products and try things you may not have had the chance to previously. I'm also a member of Alpha Tester Club their sister 'adult' site and have received a few vapes to try as well as an incentive, great company to work for. I test for a few companies and this is one of the easiest platforms to work with.

I did a battery study and never received payment. Wrote asking when I'd receive payment as it was way over the timeliness. Recieved email stating this:Thank you for your contact. We are sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

In the next hour, we will send you an e-mail about your 10 USD gift card. Please open it once received and confirm acceptance. Regards

Hi there,

Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with Home Tester Club, and we apologize for the frustration. There seems to be a misunderstanding with the email you received; the response from our team indicated that you would receive an email pertaining to your gift card. That email from us asks you to kindly confirm that you accept your gift card no later than January 12th, it also outlines that you will receive your compensation in late January, as we send all gift cards out at the same time.

That said, if you have already clicked the link in that email to confirm acceptance of your $10 gift card, you can expect to see it in your email inbox in the coming weeks. If you have further questions or concerns, we encourage you to reach out via our "Contact Us" page!

We apologize again for the misunderstanding, have a great day!

Been registered for 3 maybe 4 years

Been registered for 3 maybe 4 years. Applied and applied for items. Never had anything so far.
I get the surveys, but after applying for perhaps near on 50/60 products can't tell me I haven't met any acceptance criteria.
If it's simply small supply to a growing base then stop accepting any more people to sign up.
I'm probably going to ditch this in the new year.

Hi there,

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback on Home Tester Club. We apologize that you have not been able to participate in one of our product tests as of yet. Our main goal is to match the right products with the right members as best as possible, which is why we request you complete a quick survey when you register your interest in a new trial.

While the quantity of products we have to send to testers is limited, and our community is continuously growing, we want to ensure Home Tester Club remains available to anyone who wishes to participate. In order to increase your chances of being selected for product trials, we encourage you to actively engage with our website to earn more points. You can achieve this by writing reviews for products you've previously used, uploading photos and videos, interacting with fellow testers in the Q&A section on product pages, and signing up for trials.

We hope to send you something exciting soon. Have a fantastic day!

Home Tester Club.

Where is my promised gift card?

I’ve had some nice products to test and recently received an email to say I’d won a £50 Look Fantastic gift card for a particular campaign. However, I have emailed 4 times and contacted them on Facebook with no response and no gift card. Gutted.

Home Tester Club, if you can get in touch and honour my promised gift card, I’d be happy to change this to a 5 star review.

I have maybe 1-2 years with Home Tester Club, I received 2 products until now and I have to review the 2 nd product just now. I think it s a good thing that you get to test products for free. I imagine that there are a lot of people waiting to be chosen for a product testing and they can not choose everybody that applies for a product even if they qualifies for it. I really like the site and it s easy to use 🍀

Hi there,

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on Home Tester Club with other users on this platform. We are sorry to hear that you have not yet had the opportunity to participate in one of our exciting product trials and we understand your disappointment.

Please bear in mind that we do our best to make sure that the products we send to our testers are most relevant to them, which is why you are asked to complete a short survey when registering for a new trial. It's important that products land into the hands of the right consumers, especially as product quantity is limited compared to our large and engaged community.

We are huge fans of authenticity, and as such, we do not seek out testers specifically based on their social media presence/following. The products our testers receive are based on profile questions/interests as well as product and buying behaviours determined by their responses to the initial survey when registering for a trial.

We hope you are able to participate in an upcoming trial soon - enjoy the rest of your day!

Takes forever to be able to test anything.

I've read good reviews from people who have actually gotten to test products. I've applied for many products to test, and haven't been selected for anything yet.
It's been 10 months already.

So, it takes a long time to be selected to test products.

Excellent experience

I have had a great experience with Home Tester Club so far. I've been a member for a couple of years and have received and reviewed items from fake tan to Lego (which was amazing!! And worth £90 brand new). I don't get picked every time but that's understandable as the criteria is quite strict, but that won't stop me from applying for everything. So when I am selected it's a bonus. I will be a member for years to come
