How Reviewclub works
Members choose a product they want to test, get it delivered, test it out, and share their honest opinion online.
Reviewclubbers want to share their real experiences
Our 700.000 members want to tell the real story of a product. That’s why we have one condition: our members participate voluntarily and don’t get paid for sharing their honest opinion. The reviews of our members are authentic, and based on using the product extensively for a period of 4 weeks at least.
Is Reviewclub legitimate?
Yes, of course. Authenticity is our core value and our purpose is to have the true story of a product told: the good, the bad, and the ugly. We are 100% compliant with the rules and regulations set by the European Authorities that state that a review needs to be authentic and can only be written by someone who used, and/or bought the product. If you want, you can read more about how we are compliant here.
All products are free to test, but not free to keep
It's free to test our products, but the products aren't free to keep. This policy is in place to ensure members aren't incentivized to write biased reviews after being offered a free product. The only exception to this policy is the case of consumable products, such as toothpaste and shampoo.
Getting a deal after a test
Nevertheless, we love to bargain a deal for our members with the brands behind the products that we get to test. If the brand allows us to do so, we can decide to offer a deal to purchase the product for a great price. If the deal is not taken, the reviewer is required to return the used product to us. We refurbish the product once we receive it back and sell it in our webshop.
Guaranteeing a place on the test team
Some Reviewclubbers choose to guarantee themselves a place on a test team by taking a shortcut by purchasing the product they wanna test upfront. If a member decides to do this, we still require them to give their honest opinion about their experience. The authorities state that it is only allowed to give your opinion about a product if you used and/or bought it so we actually promote this way of participating: it makes us even more legit.
There are five ways to test our products:
Sign up, fill in a short survey, and get selected
In these product tests, we form a team of testers that suit the product best based on the answers provided to us via a short survey. The product is directly shipped from us to the testers. Once the test is complete, our members can either 1) return the product to us, 2) buy the product with a discount to keep, or 3) keep the product due to hygienic purposes (ex: beauty products in the form of liquids, creams, or solids, or foods).
Pay what you want
In these product tests, we have the product in stock ourselves. Members guarantee themselves a spot in the test team by purchasing the product at the price they want. After 4 weeks, the test is completed and everyone keeps the product for personal use.
Buy upfront
In these product tests, we have the product in stock ourselves. Members guarantee themselves a spot in the test team by purchasing the product at the price we’ve set. After 4 weeks, the test is completed and everyone keeps the product for personal use.
Sign up, purchase at an online shop, and get reimbursed
In these product tests, we don’t have the product in stock ourselves so we form a test team who buy the test product directly at a designated online shop through a link we provide. Our reviewers get reimbursed (partially) when they provide us with proof of purchase. After 4 weeks, the test is completed and everyone keeps the product for personal use.
Sign up, get a downpayment, and purchase at an online retailer
In these product tests, we don’t have the product in stock ourselves so we form a test team who buy the test product directly at a designated retailer through a purchase link we provide with money we’ve sent them upfront. After 4 weeks, the test is completed and everyone keeps the product for personal use.
What happens during a product test?
Once the product arrives at your home, the review process takes about four weeks. During this period, we encourage members to use the product as often as they like in whichever way possible to get the most out of their experience.
After a few days of proper testing, we invite members to leave their honest reviews on the indicated retailers that adhere to our Content Policy
Support along the way
Our campaign managers are our members' BFFs. They are on call to support them in every step of the way and are happy to assist you with any problems you may encounter during the review process.
