Influenster
Reviews and Complaints

Back in August or September I got approved for the diapers the pull-ups are in the diapers and I didn't get them until like a couple weeks ago Well by the time I received them the campaign or whatever was already over so I had no way to post it on the app so because of that I've gotten denied like three or four times now for surveys because I haven't finished my opinion on the diapers and I'm really irritated because I've emailed probably four or five times now telling them that this was the issue and I have not one time gotten a response not even from an automated thing stating that they received my email and now I'm being held responsible for their mistake and it's not fair because I really enjoyed this app but I'm really starting not like it no more because of this reason!

When I first signed up for Influenster, I was ecstatic to receive Voxboxes left and right. It's been a good two years since I've last received a Voxbox from them, though. I'm constantly bombarded with emails asking me to answer surveys in hopes of getting another Voxbox or participating in a cashback campaign. While I've been accepted for quite a few cashback campaigns lately, I haven't received a Voxbox with a free item to review in ages.

What's more, the campaigns can only be done on the app. You can't even access them on the actual Influenster website. The app itself underwent an update last year, and it made the app so much worse. I'm seriously considering uninstalling it altogether. Nowadays, I prefer using Shespeaks to do my reviews instead.

Overall, I'm pretty disappointed with Influenster. I used to love it, but now it's just not the same. I hope they can improve their app and start sending out Voxboxes again. Until then, I'll be sticking with Shespeaks.

I've been using Influenster for about half a year now, and I've been putting in a lot of effort. I've done tons of snaps, written dozens of reviews, created lists, completed almost every campaign, and earned several badges. But despite all of that, I haven't received a single product to review. It's frustrating, and I can't help but wonder why.

I have a few theories. Maybe it's because I'm not in a "desirable" age bracket - I'm 46, and I've heard that other older women have had the same issue. Or maybe it's because I'm not attractive enough in my photos. It's possible that my commitment to cruelty-free products is a turn-off for some brands. And then there's the fact that I don't have a smartphone, which means I can't use the Influenster app. I reached out to them about this, but they assured me that it wasn't the problem.

So why haven't I received any products to review? It's been months, and I'm starting to lose hope. I'm honestly considering giving up on Influenster altogether. And if you're an older woman or someone who's committed to cruelty-free products, you might want to think twice before investing too much time in this platform.

I gotta say, I'm pretty disappointed with Influenster. I remember when I first stumbled upon this site, I was so excited to share it with all my friends and family. I mean, who wouldn't want to get free stuff in exchange for their honest opinion, right? But boy, was I wrong.

I spent hours upon hours reviewing all my favorite products, even going as far as writing a detailed phone review that could have easily been used by the company itself. And what did I get in return? Absolutely nothing. Zilch. Nada.

Don't get me wrong, I'm usually a pretty happy-go-lucky person, but this whole experience has left a bad taste in my mouth. If you really want to make a positive impact and share your thoughts with the world, why not start a blog instead? At least that way, you're in control of your own content and you don't have to rely on wishy-washy sites like Influenster.

Sure, there's always the excitement of potentially getting free stuff, but let's be real here - how often does that actually happen? Save yourself the disappointment and invest your time and energy into something more worthwhile, like a subscription box or your own personal blog.

Anyway, that's just my two cents. Take it or leave it, folks. Best of luck to you all.

I've been a member of Influenster for a couple of years now, and I have to say, it's not the easiest way to get free products. You have to put in a lot of effort to potentially qualify for products. You have to spend endless hours engaging with other users, submitting reviews, and completing surveys that they call "snaps." It can be a bit frustrating, but it's worth it if you're looking to try out new products.

I've never received any high-end products, but I have gotten a few pharmacy brands. I think it's important to keep in mind that the products you receive are based on your demographics, so you might not always get what you want. At this point, I haven't received anything in the past 3 years, but I still try to be active on my account. It's a bit disappointing, but I understand that there are a lot of users on the platform, and not everyone can receive products all the time.

I did email Influenster to ask if there was anything wrong with my account or any limitations, but they said my account was in good standing. They also mentioned that I just didn't qualify for the products for whatever demographic reason. It was a bit frustrating to hear, but I appreciate their honesty.

Overall, I think Influenster is a great platform if you're looking to try out new products. However, it's important to keep in mind that it takes a lot of time and effort to potentially qualify for products. With the amount of time you spend on the platform, you might as well get a job and buy the products yourself. But if you're willing to put in the effort, it can be a fun and rewarding experience.

In my experience, I have found Influenster to be a bit of a disappointment. I was excited to try out new products and share my thoughts with others, but unfortunately, I have yet to receive any products to review. This is especially frustrating considering the amount of money I spend at Sephora each year. I always make sure to leave kind reviews, unlike some of the negative ones I see on Sephora's website.

It seems like Influenster is more interested in promoting old products rather than new ones. And now, they're even trying to manipulate people into taking professional-looking photos of the products they receive. I mean, come on, who has time for that?

If you're looking to try out some tampons, then sure, join Influenster. But if you're hoping to get your hands on some luxury products, forget about it. Even if you're a Rouge member who would actually buy the product, you're not likely to receive it.

And don't even get me started on the drug dealers on the site. It's insane how blatantly they offer fentanyl, pills, and even horse tranquilizers. It's just trash.

Overall, I would give Influenster a solid F+. It's just not worth the time or effort.

So, I recently stumbled upon this website called Influenster (influenster.com) and I gotta say, it's pretty cool. You can sign up for free and get sent products to try out and review. I was skeptical at first, but I figured why not give it a shot?

I received my first box of products and was pleasantly surprised. There were a variety of items, from makeup to snacks, and I was excited to try them all out. I especially loved the lip gloss that was included - it was the perfect shade for me and lasted all day.

One thing I will say is that some of the products were a bit hit or miss. For example, there was a snack that I didn't really care for, but my roommate loved it. And there was a face mask that didn't really do much for me, but my friend said it worked wonders for her skin.

Overall, I think Influenster is a great way to try out new products and share your thoughts with others. It's also a fun way to connect with other people who are interested in the same things as you. I've already recommended it to a few friends and can't wait to see what products I get to try next!

Oh, and I apologize if there are any spelling or grammar errors in this review. I'm not the best at that kind of stuff, but I hope you get the gist of what I'm trying to say.

When I first started using Influenster, I was really excited about it. I have a lot of followers on social media, so I was able to receive a few boxes of products to try out. However, I recently had a bit of a problem with the site. They have these Twitter Parties where you can win prizes, and I won a "Gloskin Mega Voxbox" which is a really high-end brand. I was super excited to receive it, but it took a really long time - 8 weeks! When I finally got the box, I was really disappointed to find that it only had 3 drugstore products in it. I thought maybe they had made a mistake, so I reached out to Influenster to ask about it. But I never got a response. I tried a few more times, but still nothing. So I decided to tweet at them, and that's when things started to get really frustrating. They still didn't respond to me, even though I was being really polite and just trying to figure out what was going on. Finally, I decided to tweet at Gloskin directly, and they responded right away. They told me that they had been promised by Influenster that the Gloskin Mega Box would contain THEIR products, not just some random drugstore stuff. They were really apologetic and even gave me a $200 gift card to make up for it.

But that wasn't the end of my problems with Influenster. A few weeks later, I won another box, but this time it's been 12 weeks and I still haven't received it. I've tried emailing them, but they just ignore me. I'm pretty sure they cancelled my box because I complained about them being dishonest with their prizes. I don't like to talk badly about brands, but this is just ridiculous. I understand that mistakes happen, but when you're running a company and you're not responding to your customers, that's just not okay. It's really frustrating to feel like you're being ignored, especially when you're just trying to get some answers. I hope that Influenster can get their act together and start treating their customers better, because right now I'm really disappointed in them.

I gotta say, I was pretty disappointed with my experience on Influenster. I stumbled upon this site/app while searching for some honest reviews on products. I was getting tired of seeing all these fake and overly positive reviews on Amazon and other sites, so I thought I'd give Influenster a try.

But boy, was I in for a surprise. The first thing I did was try to register with an email address that I never use or give out to anyone. And what do you know? The site said I was already registered. I thought that was weird, so I tried another old email address that I haven't used in over a decade. Same thing - already registered.

At this point, I was starting to get frustrated. I mean, how could I be registered on a site that I've never even heard of before? So I tried my personal everyday email address, the one that I use for everything. And guess what? Already registered.

I searched through all my email accounts, but I couldn't find any record of ever having received anything from Influenster. And I know for a fact that I've never deleted an email from my inbox on any of the first two accounts.

So I went back to the site and tried to reset my password for each of my email accounts. But I never got a password reset email in any of them.

Honestly, something is seriously wrong with this site. Either they're registering fake accounts with email addresses they got from a junk mail list so they'll look legit, or the site/account creation/login/etc are all broken.

I really wanted to give Influenster a chance, but I don't think I'll be using it again anytime soon. It's just not worth the hassle.

Influenster, let me tell you, is a total scam. I mean, seriously, it took them like a whole year to send me just one little tea bag that I had signed up to review. Can you believe that? I sure couldn't. And you know what? I think all they really want is to get their grubby little hands on your personal information so they can sell it off to other companies. I mean, who knows what kind of shady stuff they're up to behind the scenes.

And now, to make matters worse, they've gone and redesigned their website so it's like super hard to get in touch with them. Like, what's up with that? And they don't even bother to explain how their so-called "program" works. I mean, come on, people! It's like they don't even care about their users anymore. All they care about is making a quick buck off of our personal data.

So, my advice to you is to steer clear of these guys. Unless you're cool with someone else profiting off of your personal information or you're willing to spend hours and hours promoting products for the companies that pay THEM, not YOU, then you should probably just stay away.

Honestly, I'm so glad I never went back to that site after I signed up for that Runa tea sample. And when it finally did arrive, it was so stale that there was no way I was going to drink it. And after waiting for so long, there was no way I was going to waste my time writing a review for it either.

I mean, seriously, I should probably write to Runa and let them know what a terrible deal they've made with Influenster. Because, let's be real, nobody wants to deal with all the ill will that comes with associating with a company like that.

When I first signed up for Influenster, I was super hyped. I'm always on social media, and I've got a ton of followers who are always asking for my opinion. Plus, I've got a background in marketing and communications, so I figured it would be a fun way to try out some new products and share my thoughts with my followers. But boy, was I wrong.

The way Influenster decides who gets to test out products is a total mystery to me. It doesn't seem like they're actually trying to target the right audiences at all. Instead, it feels like the site is just filled with a bunch of reviewers who are desperate for anything free. I mean, these ladies are barely able to string a sentence together, and they're just grateful for any scrap of product they can get their hands on. Meanwhile, Influenster is raking in millions of dollars thanks to all the free labor these women are doing.

The final straw for me was when I spent a whole ten minutes filling out a survey, only to get two tiny juice boxes in return. Like, seriously? That's not worth my time or effort. And don't even get me started on the "Virtual Boxes" that require you to actually go out and buy the products they want you to review. What's the point of that?

Honestly, I'm sure there are better companies out there for people who are actually interested in testing out products and sharing their thoughts. Influenster is just a huge letdown.

There is a girl I followed and I seen her on a sight where you sell stuff she was selling everything she got from influenster and I feel theres others out there who wouldn't I only got 1 voxbox but I loved it and fun reviewing. She is abusing it. I just thought someone should know I dont think its right and I think you guys should know about it she cant give a real review on it if she sells it and doesnt try it at all. Not ok! Well thanks for your time and again wanted someone to know.

I have 2 different campaigns that I am trying to get done with from so many days. The 2 campaigns are - hourglass and monstermash. For hourglass campaign, I have already uploaded the selfie but it said it is under review before. Now it says my activity was rejected and when I get in the activity, it asks me to reconnect my instagram. Which basically means that its not the activity which is rejected but there is some technical difficulty to get to what I posted in instagram. I tried submitting the activity again but it just goes to the home page everytime i do it. (also, I am already connected to fb and instagram from influenster, so I dont know why it keeps asking me to reconnect).
Also, there is an activity to follow on social media. I am tired of pressing the follow button after very half hour! For some reason, I follow it everywhere and then when i get back to the activity, it says i still havent followed it! Fortunately, when I unfollowed hourglass today morning, it detected that I have finished following all my social media and gave me points for it!

The other campaign: monstermash, has issues with invite friends activity! I have already invited friends from there but it says I havent! I dont know how else to finish this campaign if it doesnt recognize my activities!

If you try to use influenster on computer, it says you can do campaigns feature only from the app and not desktop! The app doesnt work properly! How am I supposed to do anything then?

Thank you

I am so upset. I am taking part in the HairFood Voxbox. I keep getting an error message telling me they couldnt find my instagram tags. Im only logged on to one inst account and no matter what I do it isnt getting counted. What do i need to do? I have pictures of both the error message and the instagram post. Ive had this problem once before but yall fixed it. This time I dont see anyone else talking about it though.

Thank you.

I didn't know how else to reach you about this, but I did a review and then a bonus review for loreal hair mask sheet and then the shampoo I sent in my screenshot from my review for the hair mask, then did the review for the shampoo and managed send the hair mask review screenshot for the shampoo and got zero points! Is there a way I can redo the bonus?

Why did you make your useless app? Everything used to be great until you did it. I've done so many tasks previously, but your app didn't count them. Why is that?
And moreover, nothing that I have done was counted as "finished". How can this be explained? It's very buggy, you just have no idea.
So many times I tried to contact them, but they keep ignoring me. For no reason. And yesterday, all o a sudden they just blocked me and suspended my account.
I just wasted my time (and years of using them).

Hi team,
I have been using Influenster application from a month now and this application crashes a lot. I can't post any question there .. I am trying to do that from yesterday. It throws an error everytime, sometimes it kicks out and application get closed by its own. FYI, I have already upgraded the version. But facing the same issue again and again.

I signed up because Ive always like to give my opinion on products. My 22 yr old daughter was getting samples left & right. I got my first campaigne right away...panty liners, really? I worked hard on the site & never received anything else no matter how hard I tried yet my daughter continued to get campaigne after campaigne. I decided to unsubscribe & removed myself from the site. To this day I still get emails. Today I got one that said thank you for doing the Tide Campaigne & for my feedback...wasn't me! I have no respect for fake sites!

Don't trust Influenster! This website is full of fake reviews. There are actually writers who write tons of fake reviews just to earn some points. Everybody can be a part of this site and post some information. The bad part is that Influenster don't care about what people post. They need only new reviews and they don't care if they are true or fake. And many people read this and believe all these lies! That is very sad.

Don’t sign up for the website www.influenster.com. I subscribed for the trial, but it was waste of my money. The company charged me really fast and it was great, because they assured me that I would get the box soon. But I didn’t as well as I was sick of hearing some blah-blah from these guys. It was the worst deal ever. I haven’t faced such dishonest and unprofessional guys before. The company is terrible; therefore I would advise all people to stay away from them.
