bzz agents, log in...

I logged in for the first time in MONTHS today. I had given up on the site completely.

Today I had 2, yes TWO campaigns I qualified for.

I'm sooooooooooooo excited about them!

One is for Listerine tooth whitening strips. The other is for Sonicare Flexcare. Some people are getting the Sonicare UV sanitizer instead.

I'm especially excited about the Flexcare. I use an electric toothbrush already. I hope this does an even better job cleaning them. There's even a setting for sensative teeth, which I have when I whiten.

I just saw an ad for the Listernine Whitening disolving strips too. They seem really neat. I've tried almost every whitening product already, so, it makes sense to try this one too Especially since my teeth are very stained right now.

Ok, I'll shut up now. I hope the rest of you can get in on these campaigns too!

Re bzz agents, log in...

Done them both. The whitening strips rock, and the Sonicare is every bit as good as you'll hope. My periodontist actually MADE me get one ages ago, but after the Bzz campaign, I got my own.

Yippee! I got in on the whitening things, too.

I already got one SoniCare from them months ago, didn't expect another one today.

Re bzz agents, log in...

I got in on the Listerine strips the first time around- I really liked them, but they didn't send enough for you to really know how well they whiten.

I also got into the Sonicare today. Hopefully it is the actual toothbush not just attachments/santizing system since I don't have a Sonicare toothbrush!

When I got a SoniCare before, it was the WHOLE toothbrush. Of course, it was a fairly plan one, but still. It was very nice.

Re bzz agents, log in...

I've done a little research:
BzzAgent actually appears to be running 2 campaigns. 1 is for the toothbrush and the sanitizer (retail $179.99) the other is for the sanitzer (retail $49.99). If you log into the campaign, it will either say Sonicare Flexcare (toothbrush) or UV Sanitizer.

I am really excited about this one. Beats the Mrs. Dash by a mile!!

Totally out of the loop here, what's BzzAgent?

Re bzz agents, log in...

It's a cool place where you sign up, and based on your profile, they send you free things from time to time. You're supposed to "buzz" (Bzz) your friends about it, talk about the product, etc. and then make reports to BzzAgent about what sort of word-of-mouth "campaigning" you did. You also earn points and can get free stuff for the points.

I never seem to get around to doing any reports, but I still get free things from time to time. I've gotten Take 5 candy bars, AquaPod bottled water, a SoniCare toothbrush, a TV Guide subscription, and soon the Listerine Whitening Strips.

Occasionally, they will offer an item at a greatly discounted price instead of free, because that's what the manufacturer is willing to go for. I got a Fly Pen with notebook, game pad, $10 gift card and a 1 year unlimited download pass to their Fly Store online for $20 plus $2.50 shipping and handling a while back - a MONDO deal. I've seen heavy duty winter coats and other high ticket items available with these deals.

BzzAgent

My quality score is half as much today as it was yesterday. Any idea why that would be?

Then why did they let me sign up for tooth whiter?

Another problem I noticed - apparently, they think I'm a man!

Re bzz agents, log in...

Maybe that's why you don't get a toothbrush. Women make the purchasing decisions for households. You need to update your profile to reflect your sex change

Margaret, I think your quality points always take a dip after getting approved for a product, but you haven't had time to do a report - it explains it somewhere.

Thanks! I'll look into it.

Me, three. So I used my Sonicare brush today and I haven't used it in ages. Not sure why I quit. Man, I think it makes my teeth whiter.
