There’s no longer a need to pay full price on Amazon products.
The catch? All you have to do is leave your honest review in exchange.
Third-party sellers need a way to promote their product and improve their rankings on Amazon. A great way to do that is to get more buys and also more reviews. Whether the reviews are positive or negative, they still help keep the seller informed on different ways in which they can improve their product.
Amazon Review Sites solve this problem by connecting sellers who want to improve their rankings with buyers who want Amazon products for free or at a discount. When you agree to purchase an item on an Amazon Review Site, the seller sends you a promotion code that can be used at checkout, often giving you anywhere from 50% – 100% off the purchase price.
After you get a chance to test out the product, you have a certain amount of time to leave your honest review. The amount of time you have to leave a review varies per review site, but on average it’s usually around 7 days.
Here’s a quick summary of how the process works for (most) Amazon Review Sites:
Even though you’re getting a great deal going through a review site, you’re still encouraged to leave an honest review. This usually entails that you give your personal opinion of the product, what you might do to improve and whether you’d recommend it to a friend or not.
“I reviewed this product at a discount/for free in exchange for my honest review.”
Failure to do so may result in Amazon seeing your review as biased, and therefore will not get published. When this happens, the review sites won’t be able to detect your review and you’ll no longer be able to snag new products at discounts. Furthermore, Amazon may ban you from leaving new reviews all together.
Most of the items that you encounter on Amazon Review Sites are going to eligible for Prime shipping. When you sign-up, you get free two-day shipping on all products fulfilled by Amazon. If the product isn’t fulfilled by Amazon, there’s usually shipping price of $4.49. Remember to keep this in mind when calculating your total savings.
An Amazon Prime membership does cost $99 annually, but you have the option of going for a monthly option at $10 per month. Still don’t want to put up the money? You can try it free for 30 days through a free-trial.
We’re going to start off listing the top 10 Amazon Review Sites. Since there’s so many on our list, it’s important to list which ones are going to be the most necessary. It can be quite tiring browsing through all 50, especially when you’re just searching for one product. You can register for all of the sites completely free.
JumpSend takes the cake when it comes to review sites. They have probably the widest variety of deals along with some of the best discounts. It’s not uncommon to find products for 90% off or more.
For the time being, you can request an unlimited amount of deals with JumpSend. However, this doesn’t mean that you’ll be able to snag all of the deals that you want. Sellers will be able to tell if you’ve been leaving reviews or not by looking at your reviewer profile.
In short, if you want to keep getting great deals with JumpSend, it’s best you snag a deal and leave a review – although not required.
AmzRC (Amazon Review Club) is one of the better review sites. Since their services to sellers are much cheaper than other review sites, they have a wide selection of products.
Their site isn’t the best designed and they don’t have many free deals, but AmzRC definitely deserves to be on the list due their great discounts.
What I particularly like about their site is the great deals I can find and the quality of deals. They also send email updates so you never have to log-in to check for new offers.
Vupon has almost as long of a history as Snagshout, and they have a much larger product selection. In fact, you can even claim up to 20 items at a time, and they have some good options for sorting products. Why isn’t this site ranked first?
The only downside is that you need approval for each product. When you request to review a product, a seller has to agree for you to review the product and then they’ll give you a discount.
While most of the time sellers will agree within a short time, sometimes you’ll find that they take weeks, and other times you’ll be rejected for testing a product.
You have about 2 weeks to leave a product review, and reviews are usually approved within 24 hours. Once this happens, you’re free to snag a new product.
Snagshout is one of the oldest and most popular Amazon Review Sites around. Their easy-to-use interface makes it easy to view products. Not only that, but they have excellent sorting options, helping you find products from the highest percentage off, the lowest price or the most popular.
When you first register, Snagshout allows for you to snag one item at a time. Once you leave your first review, you can snag 2 items at a time. After you leave another review, you can get up to 3 items at a time, which is the maximum amount of snags. You don’t have to wait for seller approval.
You have up to 2 weeks to leave your honest review. After you leave your review tell Snagshout and within 24 hours you’ll be able to review another product. They’re quite excellent at doing things on time, as Snagshout has one of the best customer support systems out there.
ProductTesting.co is a fairly new Amazon Review Site, but it’s already one of my favorites due to their easy-to-use interface. They’re always clear about what each promotion offers and the percentage off I’m getting.
They don’t have as many offers as you’d with other review sites, but they definitely don’t lack great deals. Some of the biggest discounts I find are with ProductTesting.co.
The best part? A lot of their products are from multiple countries, and they specifically state which country their product is available in. This is one of the best Amazon review sites when it comes to gaining international traction.
You won’t find many expensive products with Elite Deal Club, but they do have great discounts on products such as iPhone cables, phone cases, grip strengtheners and more. Most of the time these deals are free.
There’s no limit to the amount you can snag, however, you can only snag one product within a 5 – 6 hour timeframe. In fact, there’s no requirement to leave a review, although Elite Deal Club highly encourages it. This means you can essentially snag as many new products as you’d like without limit.
Keep in mind that once you snag a product, you can’t claim it again. You might run into this quite often since they tend to have the same deals for a long period of time, and there’s definitely not as wide of a selection as with other review sites. What’s really cool is that you can refer friends for a chance to win an Amazon gift card.
EtekCitizen works a little bit differently than most review sites, but the concept is basically the same. All of the products you see on their site are actually products sold by them. Instead of going through a list and choosing which products you want, in order to review a product you have to contact them directly.
From there they’ll send you an email back with a promotion code that you use on checkout. After you test it out, leave a review and email them back. Their requirements are a little bit more strict, so be sure to be more in-depth about what you write.
What makes EtekCitizen so great is their quality of products. Most of the time you’ll receive a high-class item at a 100% discount. This site is available to both citizens from the United States and Canada. They also have an affiliate program for bloggers.
iLoveToReview usually has new products almost on the daily, and they even send you email notifications when there’s a new one available. The only downside is that the products they offer don’t tend to be as high of quality.
You’ll find common things on there such as adapters, charging cables, and a lot of other items that normally cost under $10 on Amazon. There’s a limited amount of snags available for each product, so if you see something you like, be sure to act quickly before it runs out.
You can expect anywhere from 2 to 6 new offers per week. Keep in mind that you must have an active cell phone to sign-up, and they will send you a text message for verification purposes.
If you’re looking for deals that are always up-to-date, Product Elf does a great job at constantly refreshing their site. While I don’t find their interface as easy to use as the other sites on this list, they still have a great deals.
Most of the time the products aren’t on the higher-end, but if you’re looking for something generally inexpensive, it may be a good idea to look here. There’s also a lot of products that you can get for free or for under $1.
Sometimes you won’t get a promotion code the first time you apply for it. Their site has grown much quicker than anticipated, and there’s only a certain number of products available from each seller. Once you’re approved for a review, you’ll be sent a promotion code via email.
DealGoGoGo is a newer Amazon review site, but they’ve quickly grown in popularity due to their wide selection of products (currently over 4,000). Not only that, but you can snag up to 10 items at a time without the need for seller approval.
Most review sites have a wide range when it comes to the percentage off you get per product. Sometimes this can be as low as ten or twenty percent off, not really making it worth your while. Not with DealGoGoGo. All of their products are 50% – 99% off, so you know you’re always getting a good deal.
The majority of their product selection falls into the categories of electronics, fashion, baby, mothers or home. The only reason we didn’t rank this review site as number one is because they’re still increasing in popularity and don’t have as great of a sorting option as Snagshout. This could soon change, however.
