What is BzzAgent? BzzAgent is a Word-of-Mouth marketing company based in Boston. Their home office is referred to as the Central Hive.
How does it work? (In a nutshell) Based on demographics, people are selected to participate in various campaigns. If you agree to join the campaign, you'll receive a package of product or coupons. You only responsibility is to talk openly about the products (either positive or negatively) and report back to BzzAgent via their online form or online video submission.

Do NOT WAIT FOR EMAIL INVITES FROM BZZ AGENT!! Check your Bzz home page daily on a regular basis especially when you know campaigns are popping up. Email invites are often late and you will risk finding the campaign full if you wait. Also when you do, LOG OUT of your Bzz account after you've checked, and clear your cache on occasion. Don't ask why it works... it just does sometimes.

To answer all questions on a spouse/someone in the same household also being an agent:


"Hi BzzAgent,
Thanks for your email. It is important that you make sure that both of your accounts are maintained entirely by the person whose account it is... It is very important that each account is maintained only by the person whose account it is.

Thanks,

BzzAgent"

and

"Hi Kris, Your account is in fine standing with us at this point in time. And if your husband is logging into his own account, regardless of what computer he is using, both of your accounts should be fine! Thanks, JakeBzzAgent"

I removed tier info and we can add MP and other info here. A few questions I keep seeing show up:

Do we only get points for the 2 reports per campaign:

You only need two reports to MOVE UP a "comb". Any further reports WILL get you MyPoints but will NOT move you up any further. Also, the post campaign poll will give you one more comb, so you move a maximum of two combs per campaign. Remember this is PER CAMPAIGN though! So if you have say, 3 campaigns, you could move up 6 combs if you do the two reports plus the post poll for each.

tls

I have a Golden Key. Now what?
A Golden Key is only available to be used when the opportunity is offered to you. Typically it's when they have extra spots in a campaign that you otherwise wouldn't have qualified for. You can't pick and choose which campaign you want to use it on, you have to wait for them to ask you if you'd like to use it.

PLEDGE SWEEPER CAMPAIGN INFO:
Wow... I tested that thing before it was on the market... and hated the fact that it's just one more disposable thing to jam up the landfills. Told them I would probably never buy a product like that unless the parts were biodegradeable or at least less of it was tossed out. Guess they didn't care to listen. When I had it, I took it apart and emptied out the dog hair and re-used it. They even asked if we did that and I told them *yes* and why I did it. It worked just fine with me doing that to it. They sent two... I never even opened the 2nd because I felt the first one was working just fine after the 6 weeks. It worked ok over all but seemed to work best on fabric that wasn't very roughly textured.
It does not hold very much hair and other stuff it picks up. That is one reason I do not like it also. The fact that I was able to take it apart and put it back together was the only thing that made me use it more than once. If you have a huge problem with pet hair, this thing will be more a pain in the patookie than a help unless you want to take it apart to empty.

Hope this helps some of you decide if you want to use a key or not. If you have one ready to expire, you have nothing to lose. It's definitely not something I personally would use my ONLY key on unless I was within a comb or two of another.

12/12 - Milk survey
2/18 - Horizon campaign starts


12/31 - Entertainment/Media Devices survey
4/23 - Harmony campaign starts


1/8 - Air Care Products survey
3/18 - Glade Wisp campaign starts


1/8 - Germs survey
2/15 - Oust campaign starts


2/20 - Soft Drinks survey
3/? - Tropicana campaign begins (I didn't get this one, but I recall it being in early March)


3/26 - Raise A Glass survey
4/? - CC campaign begins (I didn't get this one, but I know it was sometime in mid-April

Lovin this work! :nod: Now where do I see which surveys I took???

OK found it... what came of/will come of these?

I turned it down too...not much of a deal anyway. You can look it up on seller sites and see how cheap it is to buy.

I was offered the vitamins twice today and the GameWave, once. I turned them both down. They must be desperate for some extra cash since they are really pushing these OLD paid campaigns on us this close to the holidays.

Turned down the vitamins again.

I don't even open the invitations fo rthe campaigns I don't want. and guess what -- i never get offered those campaigns again!

I worry about doing that, I don't want to get put on their inactive list, I get so few campaigns as it is.

i take the other campaigns i like - i'm in four now. but i've never opened the vitamins or the gamewave.....

I didn't do the game wave campaign because when you go to the manufacture website, you can get that same offer from there.:confused:

Any campaigns lately?

I have two campaigns and they are both invites where you must pay.

I got invited to the ZAPIT Games today. This was another one that you have to pay for. The thing that really gets my goat is that they say it is 78% off the regular price. Just being the curious gal I am I searched for ZAPIT Games and lo and behold they offer the same game system and things that were advertised (exactly what BzzAgent is having a campaign for) for the same price. I had no idea that they would keep having campaigns that you have to pay to do the campaign. My reply to their offer was a no and then I passed on what I am telling you all now. BZZ that!
I didn't do the game wave campaign because when you go to the manufacture website, you can get that same offer from there.:confused:

what website are you going to? When i go to their website is shows it at $99.99 not $49.95

Not to mention that bzzagents offer also comes with 4 extra games and 2 extra remotes.

I got the invite for Game Wave and I'm thinking of taking it - it actually looks like it might be a good deal, considering it can be used as an extra dvd player also. I'm assuming the 49.95 includes shipping/handling too.... decisions, decisions... What do the people who got this game already think? Is it worth it??

I too got the Game Wave... I don't know if I would take it even for free, it looks boring as hell.

Just got the Boston Market kit, anyone else?

I also got the game wave invite, but io think i am going to pass.

Someone mentioned that agents who have taken it and gotten it (last tie it was offered) had complaints about technical issues. I haven't looked them up but it's on the BzzAgent site somewhere. You might want to check that out before you dive in! DVD players can be found for $30 or less these days, so I wouldn't get it *just* for that reason. For me it would depend on what the extra games are and if it's something my family would actually use enough to justify the cost of yet another video game console.

Thanks - you brought me down to reality :) Everytime I get a campaign, one where I have to pay or otherwise, I go directly into shop mode and want to rip out my credit card, but I think I might regret this purchase - esp. right before the holiday as I think all the kids in my family would think this was pretty lame. Where are the GOOD campaigns????

I got the GameWave offer last night and I took it. We love family game night around here, but setting up board games is a disaster with a 2yr old. With this we can give him a remote and let him feel like he's a part of the action. :lmao: Plus The Beast loves to play the trivia game at bars, and this looks really similar. So getting status and MyPoints is a bonus for me on this one.

I'm going to take the $50 and put it towards stuff for my Christmas Wii.

LOL... well this one just looks like something more for the slightly younger set with families that enjoy playing games together. I seriously don't think it would intrigue kids over the age of 12 or so. My kids still home are 15 and 17 and they would laugh me out of the house if I got this for them. I think they try to push the *family friendly* side of it, non-violent games, family togetherness, educational etc etc... but the fact is still *video game* and you're still gonna be sitting on your butt in front of the television!


As far as everyone being disappointed in paying campaigns, I am sure there are lots of reasons those seem to be showing up more lately. I think in the past, the few campaigns we were offered that we had to pay for, were still really GOOD campaigns and we were offered the product with MUCH more significant discounts, and they were products we were really interested in. (Flypen is still my favorite!) So in light of that, I am sure Bzz has plenty of good feedback regarding paid campaigns, so it's easier for companies to decide to go that route and save some money. However, that only works with GOOD PRODUCT at a DECENT discount. I think more would be willing to try the GameWave were it a more reasonable $20 or so. And they also need to consider what kind of talk is already going around about the product... for example the Whirpool clothes steamer thingy... gets fairly nasty reviews. Not for whether it works or not, because lots of people DO like it.... at first. But it doesn't seem to be a very well made product far too soon into the purchase, and things go wrong and people talk about having difficulty getting parts that are overpriced. That right there kept me from even considering taking that campaign.

I am guessing many of the people who jump on these campaigns do so without benefit of any kind of support such as we have here. Rarely have I seen anyone here grab up a paid campaign without checking with us on this forum as to opinions about it and such, when it's for products we know little about. Someone has always checked it out already and has plenty of info to pass on.

As always, of course, if it's something you will really USE and WANT, then it's probably a good deal for *you* anyway, no matter what someone else thinks about it. And if you get it via BzzAgent, there is always the added bonus of MyPoints. And those useless honeycombs.

Wii is so much fun! DD got one last year and it's the best gift ever. We play a couple of times a week. The Beast usually won't play with us though. Bums me out because I'm desperate to see my 6'2" 280lb. hubby play We Cheer...:lol: I'm hoping he'll get in on the action with the GameWave(just to keep it on topic).

LOL my kids used to do that with my grandson before he got old enough to figure out that the controller he was *using* to play a video game with his uncle... wasn't even connected.

I received my bzz kit yesterday. It came with a lot of good coupons...$3 off $6 or more purchase. Which it's really easy to spend $6 there since it's pretty expensive. So overall not the greatest bzz kit ever, but can't complain. And it did come with a coupon for a free meal.

I guess this is a benefit of not getting any offers, you dont get invited to the crappy pay for it ones. The reports showing up on the map for the vitamins, the ones that I have seen, have been bad. Most people want a refund.

thats not true. some get only paid campaigns, credit card offers, or WOM book.

I quickly looked over it this morning, it came yesterday but I was at a concert until 2am so didnt get a chance to look at it, man let me tell you, i am definitely not 21 anymore :lmao: why did I think I could go to a concert and then go to work the next day, i wanna sleep so bad... on the bright side, Madonna was awesome and the concert was free!! anyway, yea I got a bunch of bogo's and free cupcake with purchase and 1 free meal. its an ok bzzkit overall. MUCH better than the uncrustables one, which I'm still pissed i used a golden key for btw :mad:

:crying2: missed the grill campaign :crying2:

that's the last time i shop in store when i should have been online!!!

I don't think they are done handing out invites. Unless it was a regional thing, I only read 2-5 people getting a invite.

sniff sniff.. thanks panther4 :hug2:
if they send an early invite to you... what's the chances of getting the regular invite?

I turned down Game Wave yesterday. We have a PS2, Wii, and Nintendo 64 LOL We don't need another system. Some of the reviews I read on Amazon weren't that great either.

Gamewave and Code N. invites yet again.

If I am not back online before Thanksgiving, have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

This has been the EIGHTH time that I've turned down the vitamin campaign. Don't you think that maybe after the third time they would have gotten the hint?

Oh good GRIEF when are they going to STOP with this STUPID VITAMIN campaign already? It's bad enough that it won't go away from my Bzz page but they won't STOP EMAILING ME THE FREAKING INVITE. I don't give a rats hairy little HOOTCHIE that it's $400 off their regular price... I wouldn't waste my time on that total CRAP if it was FREE. SERIOUSLY.

OH -it's totally still there. But I never pay any attention when i log in and just ignore it. consequently i never get any additonal info or invites....you should all try it! it used to be that if you didn't take a campaign and you answered why - they gave you some kind of bzzpoints (when there were bzzpoints) and I may do it if they offered me 30 points -- but for nothing - I'd rather ignore it.:D

I got the Boston Market kit today and I think that it was worth the key.
Thats because the dinners run about 6 bucks and with the Qs I can take all 4 monsters out for about 20 bucks.:D

I don't remember if there were points for that or not on the vitamin one. I TOTALLY ticks me off that I tell them *NO* and then when the survey would normally come up, it tells me I have already taken it. Ok... So they KNOW I took it, they KNOW I don't want it and they know WHY I don't want it. And it wasn't a reason that would change. They need to add an option for us to choose that says "I said NO and I mean NO so do NOT invite me to this campaign again and REMOVE IT from my homepage."

Or something to that effect.

I got in the PORK campaign which I've not heard a lot of people talk about.

It came with some little recipe cards and info book shaped like a pig, lol, a nice meat thermometer, and some great pork coupons. (Like 5.00 off any pork, and 3.00 off)
The problem is the coupons are for publix only and there is not one here.

I figure I will use them the next time we travel a city over. I dunno. That was a bit frustrating.

I have 2 golden keys but NEVER get offered a chance to use them. :(

Ok there's what has GOT TO BE the most STUPID FRUSTRATING survey EVER in the history of BzzAgent on the homepage for me... asking about *doing business*. First question is multiple choices, one of which is *I do not currently work*. And I don't, so of course I pick that one. Next question asks about your company. And get this... there are 3 answers to pick from, and they ALL assume you are WORKING for a COMPANY of some kind and there is NO way to NOT answer it and send the survey. How the FREAKINGHELLLLLLLL can I ANSWER that honestly since there IS NO FREAKING answer for to go with I DO NOT WORK???!!!!!!

I spent the afternoon in a friggin movie theater with 50 or so freaking squealyass teen TWITS, my own daughter included, to watch Twilight. I *think* it was actually fairly good. But I am going to have to go see it during the week when school is back in session next week so there won't be so many thhings keeping me from actually concentrating on it.

It's 5:45. It's freakin' time to head to Margaritaville.

And no, we did not have company, and hubby is really not into wine. So... guess where all but one glass of it went. And guess who has a massive headache. *But* my back doesn't hurt much anymore.

Good to see you survived.

I also got the game invite and said thanks but no thanks. Also today I got a $10 gift card to Chili's from BzzAgent. They said they gave one to some frogpond users.

Oh it seems more like they are taking the WEEK off, lol. And I decided to go with wine.. it goes better with turkey. My cellar is now two bottles short. And no, we did not have company, and hubby is really not into wine. So... guess where all but one glass of it went. And guess who has a massive headache. *But* my back doesn't hurt much anymore.

Got it... ranted about that stupid survey already. It is STUPID because you can tell them you do NOT WORK in the first question, yet the second one also requires an answer and there is NO WHERE to say again you do NOT have or work for any kind of business... so I emailed them and told them how stupid that survey is.

Well y'all know me... not about to let that slide. I reported it to Bzz. I do the same thing when I find stuff from HouseParty. I think I managed to piss of a LOT of people during the Margaritaville party, lol.

Hi everyone :)

Hoping for a Chilis Card :eat:

I can get my first golden key as soon as the month changes. Well, if they offer up a honeycomb for another 3 frogponds. Keep those fingers crossed for me.

can you still earn keys even when you reach the end of the honey comb scale? I know people have reached the end already but there is only two places to earn keys on the scale so how does it work?

#$%!#$% slow posting. just ignore me today!

grrr.. 2nd time today I've had to re-do a reply.

So.. NO... you cannot possibly know ANYONE who has *reached the end of the honeycomb scale* because there IS no *end*. And there might be only two keys showing up as you scroll ahead through your combs but as you earn those, more show up way ahead... there is no *actual* limit to keys, but they are sort of limited anyway by how many combs it will take to your next one, and your combs are limited to: You earn a comb for doing 3 FrogPonds a month. You earn a comb for the first TWO reports from each campaign you are in. And post campaign polls will earn you one comb as well.

I tend to throw away a comb every month because I HATE the FrogPond. I think it's total crap and I KNOW most people only do it, and probably lie their tails off just to get through the usually stupid useless boring sites, just to get to the poll and get their 3 Frog Pond credit and comb. I did it one month and really did not find it enjoyable in any way. Nothing there I find useful or interesting or new. If I was in the position of needing just one more comb to get a key? You bet your sweet patootie I'd do the damn Frog Pond.

tls

I, too, hate the frog pond. But I gotta do soemthing to get my ranks up near the rest of you. I usually let them know that I think most of the concept ones are crud.

There was one that was some kind of datebook thing., family organizer, whatever... I don't even remember. There's just no freaking way that is going to be useful to me... I use a school calendar agenda... fits in my purse so it's always with me if I need to check something. On the fridge is a dry erase full month calendar that has the last half of the current month and the next half of the next month on it so I can look ahead at a glance. Below it I keep a smaller dry erase board that I have marked off into 7 sections top to bottom, each for a day of the week. I change the dates on that every Sunday and write into it what's going on for the week. I can take one look at those calendars and know what's going on. I can add something to it the minute something comes up or wipe off something that gets cancelled. Having to log into my computer and screw around with finding a website and then logging into THAT etc etc... what a PAIN in the butt!!

That is just some of the useless kind of stuff I find on Frog Pond. and yes I am bored as hell today, lol.

oh pray tell - where is the END of the honeycomb scale? 4000, 5000 combs...or is that levels? what happens when you get to the end -- do you get stock in the company or is it just the helicopter we already knew about? I can't wait to hear -- I"m waiting on baited breath.....:D

LMAO *stock in the company*... umm... no thanks. I'll take an extra kit or two instead as long as it was something like the Chili's campaign... at this point a good kit is probably worth more than a few shares of stock considering they did just lay off people and they are going with really sucky stupid campaigns like Dodge. If ANYONE claims they got someone to buy one, I want proof.

tls

Most of us WISH there was an end. We are just climbing up towards nothing. Oh, lets see, in about 7 more I get another key. :woot: I only have 2 right now, and one campaign, so you never know when I might get to use a THIRD!!!! :lol:

How do or did you get the chilis gift certificate?

I'm wondering the same thing. :confused: I'm assuming from what some said that it was a random perk type of thing?

if you check the wiki there is someone who is 100 and something honey combs into level 6 so i just figured there is nothing after that, and it was the end even tho it "keeps going". You'll never reach a new level. I didn't know that the keys will continue to show up after that point. So thanks for the info I just wanted to make sure I wasn't wasting my time gaining honey combs if eventually I won't be able to get anymore golden keys.

And they continue climbing it forever just because

I'm thinking that I'm going to sign up for hte gamewave system. We need a DVD player for the kids tv and although they desperately want a game system, meany me has so far kept them away from a Wii, PSP or whatever.. they have a vtech smile that they are outgrowing and this might satisfy them for a little bit longer

Well Pete From the Hive is one busy bee today... I just got two emails answered that I sent to them last week and he responded to both. The one about the eBay listing for the gift cards from the Passion-whatever campaign, in which he assured me they were very actively investigating it and *thank you very much for bringing this to our attention*. He also responded to my complaint about the business campaign, about the 2nd question that you cannot answer in any way at all if you don't work... he said they are working on it *right now* and it should be reworded soon so that I can finish the survey.

Sounds like they are younger...the Gamewave isn't really for young kids, it's more for an older kid to adult type of game. Some of the trivia questions are inappropriate for the younger ones (heads up). They would probably have more fun with a used Nintendo 64 or Gamecube (games are super cheap nowadays).

There are several games for this system that are for younger kids. I don't know what it comes with, but there are most definitely others available that would be appropriate.

What did they do... finally figure out no one was going to PAY for that crap and make it free? I refuse to believe there were enough agents out there with $125 to throw away like that.

I was so excited too. Bummer.

Someone suggested not responding to the campaign and letting it set on the home page. So that's what I'm going to do. Hopefully they'll get the message and not send me the offer again because they don't understand when I say, "NO".

That's what I usually do, too. Hate those also.

Got yet another invite to Code Nutrition :mad: and I also got an email stating that the Uncrustables campaign is coming to an end soon.Not much bzz for me lately. :rolleyes:

Wow, Bzz has been so boring lately.

I still just have the crappy Dodge campaign that no one wants to hear about...can't wait until its over.

No new invites for me either-got the gamewave offer again. Had business survey, thats it. So slow.:(Having dumb moment, somehow posted twice>>>

My daughter really liked them, so I just bought a Pampered Chef Cut-N-Seal from eBay for $4 (incl shipping) and I can use our preferred bread (whole grain white) and the desired amount of filling, and I can even make other kinds of "pocket sandwiches"-which she thinks is really cool.

Is there a way to move up faster in the status level than doing 3 opinions/polls per month? Do you have to do campaigns or something else?

I ask because in the OP it says
Moongazebo is currently 89 honeycombs into SweetBee with nothing in sight. There are AT LEAST 106 combs in Level 6
and I doubt s/he's gotten that far by only getting 1 honeycomb a month.

You get one a month for doing 3 Frogponds. You get one per campaign when you do at least two reports. More reports per campaign do not get you more combs. Post campaign polls also give you one comb. So... the most combs you can get per campaign is two. Yes... taking campaigns in essence gets you another two combs, but you should not take them just because of that... take ones you can legitimately Bzz.

All of this is answered in the wiki...

I have 2 of them a big one and a small sized one. I ordered it 10 years ago, when I had hosted a party for pampered chef.

I really never used it until the past couple of years, I now have 4 kids since then and it's frequently used. They love it, I use it it for all sorts of sandwiches for them Tuna, lunch meat, grilled cheese, PB & J.
It works great and saves lots and lots $$$.
But my spoiled brat kids still beg me to buy those uncrustables and they seem to always sucker me in to buying them.

Probably the only difference would be that the PC tool crimps the edges & seals the bread for you & w/a biscuit cutter, you'd have to do it with your fingers...so it saves a little bit of time. If I'd already owned a biscuit cutter (and had thought about it), I probably wouldn't spend extra for the PC tool, but since I usually buy biscuits-in-a-tube, the PC tool is definitely worth the cost I paid.

But my spoiled brat kids still beg me to buy those uncrustables and they seem to always sucker me in to buying them.

I saw it on eBay in 3", 3.5" and 4" and debated which size to get. In the end, I measured a slice of our bread and got the 3.5" (which is the only size PC sells now.) I'm still debating getting the smaller one as a surprise for my daughter's tea parties. And b/c I could make some kicka$$ homemade ravioli.

So it's got something like a more rounded than sharp cutting edge? That is the only thing I can think of that would be different enough to actually mash the edges of the bread together. Sounds like a neat little tool... I am big on kitchen gadgets, lol, but never got into Pampered Chef stuff. Which is probably a good thing... my kitchen isn't big enough as it is for all my crap!

But, I did get My Points gift cards that I cashed in... hello teacher gifts ;)

How do golden keys work? I have two of them. Do they just invite me to a campaign and give me the option of using my key to get in?

Yep, that's how it works.

If you are offered a campaign that you can use the key for, it is not an option. The only option is to take the campaign or not; if they've put a key in play, you HAVE to use it to take the campaign right then. We've pretty much discovered it's not worth saving them for long and when you have two or more, we usually end up taking it if it's an even slightly ok campaign. *Sometimes* if you decline the campaign offered with a key, you will get it offered later without having to use it... but it doesn't happen all the time, and if it's a really good campaign, chances are it is going to fill up fast. So if it's offered, take it, if it's something you want to buzz.

tls

Ok.. does anyone remember awhile back, someone from the hive was talking about all these "great campaigns" that were coming up...? Does anyone remember what the tentative time table was on those... after the new year or.... are the stupid campaigns we've had, Dodge... Code Nutrition... actually *IT* as far as the *fantastic new campaigns*? Seems to me this time of year is a good time to be buzzing things and they've got NOTHING right now, to the point of having to lay off employees. IF there actually WERE more campaigns coming up, don't you think they would have been able to avoid that?

For November we have 3 more campaigns coming - one will be a familiar campaign from the recent past, the other two are restaurant/food and home & beauty (I'm not trying to be vague on purpose, I'm just not sure how much I should say)

So, you may have seen on the beelog that we had a great sales quarter - you will see the affects in the end of January, all of February... some seriously awesome and large campaigns on deck (cleaning products, food, health, beauty).

He gets TONS of exercise... and seriously, we went out to lunch today to Red Robin (for my bday which is tomorrow that I have to work through) and the kid WANTED to have melon, carrots, apples and celery for lunch. I talked to his dr and apparently it's important to be "heart healthy" but he's still a kid... so as long as the "crap" is not a staple of his diet, let him be four... (in moderation...) :wink5:

He gets TONS of exercise... and seriously, we went out to lunch today to Red Robin (for my bday which is tomorrow that I have to work through) and the kid WANTED to have melon, carrots, apples and celery for lunch. I talked to his dr and apparently it's important to be "heart healthy" but he's still a kid... so as long as the "crap" is not a staple of his diet, let him be four... (in moderation...) :wink5:

Hey if he will also eat cheese, then that's not such a bad meal! He needs the protein... but I think it's cool when kids WANT to eat like that. Mine have always, even as toddlers, preferred salads and fruits and raw veggies to other really bad stuff, which seems weird to some people even now that they are teens.

And I dunno why those grilled cheese UC's just seem icky to me...

Thank you!! :hug:
... and :omg: WOW!!

had two surveys thats it-again

Is anyone interested in a Fruits & Passion $10? Please only ask if you will able to go before the 24th.

Did anyone get an invite for the BzzAgent Holiday Swap? I just saw this in my invites. I think it is an interesting idea - I don't believe they have done this in the past have they?

I just got it too. I don't remember them doing it before.

I just got this too. I contract for a work at home call center and we just did this same thing. It was so fun. We all opened our gifts yesterday.

nothing here sounds fun though

just got it. i signed up.

I got it also and am doing it... should be fun!

1. You commit to spending $10 on a gift (nothing sexual, political or religious)
2. Within 48 hours we pair you with a swap partner of the same gender, in the same country
3. We send you the email address of your swap partner so you can exchange shipping addresses
4. You mail your partner's gift before 12/20/08, and your partner does the same
5. You can even upload a picture of the gift you receive via our Flickr group



Sounds like a lot of fun...

I joined the holiday Swap campaign Also. Sounds Cool!

The Fine Print:
BzzAgent only acts as the facilitator between swap partners
BzzAgent does not take responsibility for the gift your swap partner provides to you
If you sign up, please don't stiff your partner
There will be NO BzzReporting during the BzzSwap
Your status will not be affected in any way by the BzzSwap

I also got this and figured I would give it a try, why not.

Yep... got it.. signed up. Looks like fun!

tls

It would be neat to get a fellow SD

I got it too.. I signed up.. I am a glutton, 2 other swaps I am involved with.

Joined the SS. This will be my 4th this year. :lol: Love getting mail!

Anybody know if we would pay for shipping in the gift swap?

Anybody know if we would pay for shipping in the gift swap?

I would think that of course we pay for shipping.

I thought there was no bzzng for the swap, but it shows on my status that I need two bzz reports for the swap to move up a comb.... maybe it's a glitch.

I would think that of course we pay for shipping.

LOL yeah that's kind of a *duh*.

tls

I joined the swap too, it sounds like fun! :) What are you guys going to send? LOL

what is this swap everyone is talking about?

I joined as well, sounds like fun.

Buzz is having a gift exchange campaign. No reports it's more of a for fun thing.

Thank you for the info, so how do you sign up?, Im already a Bzzagent

I had this when I signed in and joined it :)

Umm, no. S&H would cost almost as much as the gift. And in *every* o/l exchange I have been in, I have received the crappiest presents. :( Never again!

BTW: For anyone who does join in- there is a deal in Hot Deals for Swiss Colony. Look it up. For about $11 you could get 3 packages of chocolate/nuts delivered. Hopefully it will still be good when you get your addies!

Good point about the shipping...I signed up and then thought about that...

So, you have not had good experience with other gift exchanges??? This will be my first so I guess I'll see...

gift cards do not cost a lot to ship....

I joined the swap too, it sounds like fun! :) What are you guys going to send? LOL

I'm gonna do BBW, they had that 5 for $25 sale and I loaded up so the $$ amount is perfect. I think this will be fun!

Excellent point!

Ok.. does anyone remember awhile back, someone from the hive was talking about all these "great campaigns" that were coming up...? Does anyone remember what the tentative time table was on those... after the new year or.... are the stupid campaigns we've had, Dodge... Code Nutrition... actually *IT* as far as the *fantastic new campaigns*? Seems to me this time of year is a good time to be buzzing things and they've got NOTHING right now, to the point of having to lay off employees. IF there actually WERE more campaigns coming up, don't you think they would have been able to avoid that?

tls

I've noticed this as well. They had the Sonicare campaign for two years in a row around November and December. This year -- nothing. :(

The last really good campaign I was in was the Harmony One campaign -- it was unbelievable!

A idea for $10 gift and no s/h to pay:
http://www.somethingstore.com/index.html

I have done this a few times and gotten decent things, nice scarf & hat set, deluxe wine opener, USB hubs not bad..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This was posted on another bzz website from someone at the hive,

Hey Everyone, sorry I have been away! I responded to a few of the ongoing posts - but here is the scoop...

For November we have 3 more campaigns coming - one will be a familiar campaign from the recent past, the other two are restaurant/food and home & beauty (I'm not trying to be vague on purpose, I'm just not sure how much I should say)

So, you may have seen on the bee log that we had a great sales quarter - you will see the affects in the end of January, all of February... some seriously awesome and large campaigns on deck (cleaning products, food, health, beauty).

I don't really know what the golf survey was all about, sorry

sad when you quote yourself, LOL

I am passing on the holiday swap, maybe next year they will give us more time to do it, like a months notice..... also, unless we take over the dead bee log there is no place there to talk about the fun of it and thank who sent it.

Hiya fellow Bzzers, I got in the swap, too! I hope some of us get fellow SD'ers, that'd be so cool, huh?

Umm, no. S&H would cost almost as much as the gift. And in *every* o/l exchange I have been in, I have received the crappiest presents. :( Never again!That is true. I've been in a few myself when I could have gone to Dollar General and bought the gifts myself. That was for a large exchange ($50)......I would have preferred quality over quantity. Nothing was purchased that I had on my wish list, except chocolate. Even Hershey's is better than cheap Palmer brand. It was fun though, but disappointing.

gift cards do not cost a lot to ship....That's excellent. My only concern is the other person flaking. If you were given a $10 GC in this exchange what would you like?

I GOT IN ON THE SWAP, AS WELL. MAYBE WE WILL GET SOME SD'ERS. THAT WOULD BE COOL.:look:

gift cards do not cost a lot to ship....
Yeah.. but where's the fun in that??? We're SlickDealers for crying out loud... I know that *most* of us can get waaaaaaaay more than an average person for $10 OOP...

I'm going to pass on this one too... for the same reasons... :wink5:

i signed up for the swap. im gonna give someone the dale and thomas $20 gift code lol. hope i get something good

gift cards do not cost a lot to ship....

A giftcard? Wow, how, um..... nm. Might as well send a check or cash, at least they don't have to drive to a specific store to use it. I really can't stand giving giftcards unless I know for a fact someone is planning to put them towards a purchase at a certain store for a large item. Even at that, I would rather give cash. Especially coming from a Slickdealer- I mean we can practically load up the underside of a Christmas tree for $10! IMO an exchange is to exchange items, not cash.

i signed up for the swap. im gonna give someone the dale and thomas $20 gift code lol. hope i get something good

Well.. sorry... but.. seriously I hope you are not my swap partner! That stuff is expensive and $20 doesn't do much... then having to pay shipping for your OWN GIFT? Not nice!

tls

I think it willbe fun i will probablly send bath and body works or clinique. i seem to have both of those stock piled for rainy days.

Speaking of Clinique this weekend it Happy weekend and most counters are giving away an ipod and other stuff. With the ipod you don't have to buy anythng to enter.

Received my partners name in email.

Anytime and coming up soon ( i think the 19th or so) they are having a holiday free gift with a 2 item purchse. It is smaller than normal gifts but cute and free.

Got my partners email too :)

I agree that gc's ruin the fun of it. Especially the Dale & Thomas! I would be so dissapointed if I got that. Keep in mind with gc's too that if the person doesn't have a local store they either can't use it or will most likely have to pay their own shipping :(

i signed up for the swap. im gonna give someone the dale and thomas $20 gift code lol. hope i get something good

That will be the problem with this thing. People wanting something good but giving out something that they don't know if the person will even care about. What would I do with a 20 gift code? Think it would be good to ask the person for a list of items they might like.

haha i am doing it because it is crap and i want to get something good in return. I dont care if they like it or not.

Did you know that threads shrink when you update your ignore lists?

I didn't do the swap.

FYI - was at Big Lots yesterday and they had the Game Wave for $30! Not sure what all it had with it but I was surprised to see it for that price.

Zapit Games is entering the market of interactive DVD games by offering a new twist to family game playing: a new DVD gaming system called GAME WAVE. The Game Wave system is a DVD player with four unique remotes and comes packaged with the software trivia game 4 Degrees: The Arc of Trivia, Vol. 1; families can purchase two additional remotes ($28), and Zapit Games has released four additional games to play on the Game Wave system, each retailing for $28. With the Game Wave system, family members can compete head-to-head. For example, when playing 4 Degrees: The Arc of Trivia, Vol. 1, all players compete to answer the same question; the system registers how quickly a player answers.

i signed up for the swap. im gonna give someone the dale and thomas $20 gift code lol. hope i get something good

If I get your name you WILL get one back!!

I asked my person what they liked and if they were allergic or anything like that. I want to send them something nice. Even if what i get may not be what i have always wanted I like to give when i can.

I feel the same way...for me its about giving...even my own family wants to stop exchanging gifts so I think this is nice.

Good point about the allegies.

I already emailed with my partner and she seems great! I asked if she did SD so we'll see!

I am in on the swap and actually found my swap partner here on slickdeals on this thread:) Same name as Bzz...That is cool!

haha i am doing it because it is crap and i want to get something good in return. I dont care if they like it or not.


So you don't care when they took the time to pick something nice out for there partner. And they get your crappy gift in return.

I hope and will pray that your gift what ever it might be , will be broken if something to eat tatse like crap , something to wear makes you break out. Why because I want you to get something good in return.

haha i am doing it because it is crap and i want to get something good in return. I dont care if they like it or not.

Ugh I really hope you are not my swap partner. I don't understand why anyone would do this kind of despicable behavior.

I already sent my swap partner a blank questionnaire (borrowed from secret santa thread) and also sent him/her a filled out questionnaire with my info. I hope I will receive a reply very soon from my swap partner so I can start shopping. This is fun and exciting.

I'm in on the swap too - I'll accept a gift card anytime if it's an Amazon one! I got my swaps e-mail and am going to e-mail later from home (I'm at work now)...

Ignore the person who mentioned the Dale & Thomas gift cards - he's that jerk that used to come on trying to stir things up. He's full of BS.

how long before they sent you your partners email? I haven't gotten an email yet?

Would a good gift be a years worth of Amazon prime?

I guess it might for some people and some people might not use Amazon. haha answered my own question

I'd LOVE a year of Prime!!! I wouldn't get so lucky though. At last years grab bag at work, this Catholic girl (me) got a Hannukah candle - go figure. :shake:

I haven't signed up for it. Christmas swap-right>

I'm not doing the gift swap because it can't be trusted.I will do one at a local level or in person.I did one last year at the other freebie board I moderated on and so many people got stiffed or got junk.My gift arrived very late and it was full of freebie junk and some of it looked used.It's a shame because I love doing the secret santa stuff ;)

I was just involved with two ss swaps and both my gifts were wonderful that i received nad i hope hte people who got them thought the same. I am going to try it, it should be fun.

I asked my person what they liked and if they were allergic or anything like that. I want to send them something nice. Even if what i get may not be what i have always wanted I like to give when i can.

I totally agree with you :)

I sent a few questions to my swap partner, just waiting on a reply so I can go shopping tomorrow and get it shipped off! I think this is going to be fun!

I was emailed my Swap Buddy's email addy. I sent a quick email introducing myself and asked for the same. Hopefully they will respond so that I can go shopping soon.

P.S An Amazon Prime membership is a great idea! I would love one!

I got an email from my Swap Buddy. She's not picky. Now there's a lot to go on...I sent her some information on me and hopefully we'll get more details.

This is my first swap outside of work or family and I'm really excited. I could use some ideas...I want to make this really wonderful for my "buddy".

I got mine! I am looking forward to it and I think it will be fun!

OMG I'm at a loss of words but I'm LOL here. I received an email back from my partner. She sounds very nice, but told me that w/postage she can only afford to do $10. So I guess that means a $5/$6 gift. Is that tacky or what?

ETA:
I don't mean to sound like a scrooge but does the swap supposed to include the postage in the $10? Did I miss something? LOL

I would say something at least to bzzagent. That wasn't part of the deal. But, on the upside, at least she told you up front, now you can spend the same.

she will probably be understanding if you only spend $10 including shipping then :)

This is too cool! I'm psyched!

this is too cool! i am so excited! its going to be so hard to limit it at 10.00 though. i have tons of stuff here i have gotton i could also add to the gift. i want to go shopping now :bounce:

I just found this thread, but i'm signed up for the holiday swap too!

I didn't see my person on SD, but I googled their Bzz name and came up with a few sites they were on, so I've done a bit of stalking :ninja: I've already got several ideas of gifts I can get them :)

I signed up for the swap and i got my email and she sounds great. She isnt picky which is so nice. this is my first time doing this type of thing. I am so excited :)

OMG -- Bzz did such a good job of pairing me up. They found another gay male in his late 20s who's been with his partner for over 7 years and works in the public service/non-profit sector. It's almost creepy. We've already become Facebook friends in an effort to better understand what each other might like in a gift. I'm stoked! :woot:

I didn't sign up either, because I didn't want to get stuck with a cheap person either. Maybe next year some of us from this board could do a secret santa. I've never participated in one, although it sounds like great fun. Individuals should treat people like they treat theirselves. If you want something good, then give something good

Sometimes, we have the opportunity to share the gift of giving unconditionally with someone who doesn't see it's value. ;) Don't let the unworthy keep you from having fun...you never know, you might just get stuck with someone totally and insanely awesome! :D

I just signed up for the swap. Hopefully this will distract me from the crappy Dodge campaign and I'll get someone similar to me that I can become buddies will as well. :)

That is cool, I am really happy for you, you must tell us what he send you:nod:

Would a Glade Scented Oil Holder, 3 refill packs and a few boxes of Starbucks chocolates be a good gift? Would you like it or be dissapointed? The value would be over $10.

I googled my person and they are an avon rep. Maybe I'll be getting avon???

Would a Glade Scented Oil Holder, 3 refill packs and a few boxes of Starbucks chocolates be an ok gift? Would you like it or be dissapointed? The value would be over $10.


Oh I would think so, I would be thrilled with it :)

now I am wishing I signed up with all the fun you all are having

I just signed up too.This will be fun.I know it sounds bad,but I hope I get a female,never can figure out what to buy for men.And girl stuff is a lot more fun to shop for.
Sounds like a good gift Becky.

:) :)

I signed up for the swap too....I was emailed yesterday.....and we are similar both have 4 kids...etc...we both have mailed out our gifts to each other already......no way I could find something decent for 10 bucks.....spent 30 instead :eek: :eek: ...Oh well, my swap partner sounds very nice :hug: !!!!

I haven't heard from my partner yet. I emailed yesterday afternoon. Those of you who didn't sign up because your worry you won't get anything *good*... well... you're just missing out on the fun. As others have said, the fun of giving is what you focus on. I always have more fun doing my shopping at the holidays, thinking about what I am going to get everyone, figuring out the *perfect* gifts, and then watching everyone open them. The only thing that is going to disappoint me in this swap is not hearing from my partner and not being able to send a gift!

I hope you folks do better than I did. Yesterday, I mentioned I heard from my swap partner that she would be including the price of postage in the $10?
I had emailed her back and said that would be fine, I would do the same and that I understood.

This morning I get an email saying after looking at her funds, she "simply could not afford it."

The BzzAgent member has a very unique BzzName so I googled it. I have a strong suspicion that my partner is a younger male age 20. He posts on different forums
for music.

This has been a joke for me. I was so looking forward to this. If by chance what I googled is not the same person, he or she should have never agreed to this.

Good luck to the rest of you, sounds like it's all coming together.

I will be notifiying BzzAgent.

I can't decide what to get. She has kids nad htey seem to be her life ( which is great) so she doens't take much time for herself and she doesn't wear makeup or anything like that. any ideas?

makeup is always my go to.

Maybe somebody on here could be swap with you for a Secret (but not so Secret) Santa!! I'm sure there are people on this board who would wanted to participate, but wanted to be sure that they had a reliable person to swap with - just a thought :)

During this time of year they have very decorative photo albums. Target has a great selection of these. They look like velvet, adorned in ribbon, etc. for holiday gift giving. Since she has kids, you can't go wrong with a photo album.

I haven't heard from my partner yet.

how long does it take to hear something? i signed up last night but havent gotton an email from buzzagent yet or heard who i am swaping with

Oh, no! :eek: This is a tragedy. :mad:
You should definately contact bzzagent and update them.
So? I'm :confused: (I know. It happens a LOT). Are you a male age 20? Bzzagent was suppose to match the same gender and something else (too lazy to go look)--
My heart is filled with sadness for you.
There was someone new to the board, can't remember their name, sorry! Someone a few posts back suggested you do a swap with someone here...I'm sure many would step up to such fun.
Keep us posted on what the hive says.
:hugs:

how long does it take to hear something? i signed up last night but havent gotton an email from buzzagent yet or heard who i am swaping with

It said within 48 hours. My information came within about 20 hours. :woot:

Are you a male age 20? No, I'm female :)

I think Finzz is right about being matched up. I also got someone VERY similar to me. She is a mom of 2 kids . . . about the same age . . . been married about the same amount of time, we are even in similar fields of work . . . if you can believe that! I think Bzz found me in another state . . . hmmmm . . . . I should ask HER if she has been getting all my allure wins and my swedish fish shirt!

I emailed my swap partner yesterday with questionnaires and my info but I haven't heard back from her yet. :( I hope she will contact me soon, I can't wait to start shopping.

As for me, from what I found out by googling my partner, she is a single gal, but I'm married, so I guess not all people get the swap partner very similar to them? I have no idea how this works.

how long after you guys signed up did you get your swap info??
has been days here and so far nothing
i almost hesitated because of the google searches
then i remember the ID i use at bzz is not the one i use all over the place lol
so if they go looking up that name not going to be linked to my forum activity anyway lol

i just got my email from buzz!! i have no clue if my partner is female or male. but seems like it could be either one with there name.i emailed them already and hope to hear back really soon. i cant wait i have a big priority box and will be buying 10.00 in things plus things i hae here already from freebies and things:bounce: :woot:

We get partners? How do we do this?

We get partners? How do we do this?

if you go to buzz agent home page i was able to sign up. then within 48 hours you get an email saying what your partners email is. then try to email with there information and tell them alittle about yourself. the budget is 10.00 but i know i am spending more;) hope this info helps

What do moms with young children want the most?

I think I want to get her something that is a bit selfish. :)
I was thinking a movie-night package for just her and hubby?

Something like that would be really nice but then there is the issue of whether or not she has a babysitter. Something that might work without them going out would be a $5 gift card to a Blockbuster or Hollywood video (since you have her address you can find out what is nearby!) and stick it in a cute popcorn bucket, a couple packs of microwave popcorn, a box or two of movie candy... And they can (hopefully) enjoy it after kids are in bed.

My son's in college and he's 19. He really appreciates gift cards to starbucks or subway, any toiletry items (razors, toothpaste, deodorant, stuff like that). Also you could do a snacks gift box -- microwave popcorn, candy, gum, stuff like that. Playing cards are always a good idea, too.

If you want to do something more personal, make them cookies or brownies, my son and his friends always love that. If you wrap them pretty tightly and pack them well, they'll ship just fine.

Dude, that was a joke. It's "college". "Collage" is a mixed media art project where you glue stuff to a page. Don't send him scissors.

College students love gift cards because they're always broke - just make sure that it's to a store in the area around the college.
