Fully Tested & Approved
Programs I’ve used long enough to share real results, with products in hand and full experiences to back them up.
Get full-sized beauty products in exchange for honest reviews. If you’ve seen Sephora reviews saying “received this product as a promotion in return for my honest review” — this is that.

Beautytap
I used this for a few years straight and it was a total goldmine—think free product tests and serious payouts!
I tested everything from toilet paper and candy to Olay Vitamin C cleanser pads before they hit stores. One time, I even got a mystery foo...
Product Report Card
Free sample site where you can claim products in exchange for short surveys and feedback. You also earn coins for activity, and once you reach 500 coins, your batch of samples you’ve accumulated ships express. I apply for every sample, then either ge...

Free sample boxes drop about 2x a year, usually once in Spring and once in Fall. They include household, food, beauty, and pet products and tend to sell out fast. Best tip: sign up and follow their Instagram so you get notified as soon as they drop, ...

Gratsy sends boxes that feel like a true PR drop packed full with goodies. They’re rare (maybe 1-2 a year), but when one lands, it’s like Christmas morning. The back-to-school box? Elite.

I actually signed up for Social Nature years ago, but stopped using it because I kept getting coupons to redeem products I couldn’t find in stores near me. They focus on natural and eco-friendly brands, everything from snacks and supplements to beaut...

Cashback & Rebate Apps I Use
These are the apps I actually use to get free groceries, cashback, and gift cards. I’ve tested a lot of them, and these are the ones worth keeping on my phone. Easy to stack with other deals, low effort to use, and the payouts are legit.
Tried Aisle years ago and wasn’t impressed… now? Total game-changer. The app makes it so easy — I pre-clip everything, and it instantly shows what’s actually available in my store. No more hunting for freebies that aren’t even there. Submit your rece...
Aisle | Discover 100+ Offers From Your Favorite Brands
Cashback and rebate app I use for groceries, household items, and even some online shopping. It’s great for stacking with other apps like Aisle to get freebies or big discounts. Sign up with my code and you’ll get $5, and I’ll get $10 after your firs...

This is how I fund my skincare. 👀 I cash out Ulta gift cards all the time just by uploading receipts, doing quick offers, and even playing the in-app games. It feels like free money stacking up in the background, and the Ulta cashouts make it addict...

I’m signed up and actively trying these now. I’ll update once I have products in hand and a clear opinion.
If you like Beautytap, this is the closest thing I’ve found so far with one key difference: you don’t need approval to get in. You sign up, answer the profile questions, and then wait until you are matched to a product via email.

I tried Influenster briefly way back in 2016 and never stuck with it because I thought you needed a huge following. Turns out, you don’t. They choose testers based on your profile, surveys, and demographics, not just follower count. I just re-downloa...

I recently joined Curion to see what all the hype is about. They run paid product tests and taste panels for big brands, sometimes in-person and sometimes from home. Pay can be anywhere from about $40 to $250 per study, often around $50 an hour.
