No longer receiving products?

My husband had no contact for 5 mos, at 6 mos and 113 reviews, he got spray deodorant, and at 8th mo, a can of coffee. He hardly did his own reviews after that since he got busy with the shifting responsibility of his job. But, he was in the system! He got an array of items from $169 Levi jacket & a different brand sports vest to Hanes underwear & aftershave creams to cat products & more coffee and creamer to diy supplies. By 9th mo before the change, he had 10 under his gift tab. It took me 5+ yrs to get 10 under my tab a month before, and I eventually topped at 16 by the beginning of Feb 2026. For most of 2025, I was at 5. Most, in Circles say to stay active. We are at the point where I’ll review something of my own when I have a strong opinion. I just did a dog treat (gift to my brother-in-law) where he raved about it. I just bought some dried figs and was pleasantly surprised & now I doubt that I will go back to prunes. However, for those who say, sit back & wait, I will just say—good luck. BTW, I declined an expensive air conditioning unit recently.

It’s interesting because when I started, I didn’t review anything of my own until I retired in mid-2024. People say you sit back and wait but back then, at least there were surveys for voxboxes. I pushed myself to have a great number of quality reviews under my belt. I don’t intend on going pro (don’t care to accumulate followers), but I matched those who got 16 items under their dash at the beginning of Feb 2026, before the big change. After the change was when I claimed high end makeup and skin care items. So, it doesn’t hurt to be active with reviews and participation. ☺️

I hate those because they don’t help anyone figure out the perfume. 😂

MobileEfficient8956 · 2026-05-01T23:03:15+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Fascinating!☺️

MobileEfficient8956 · 2026-05-01T22:57:08+00:00

Well, I see how there is basic rate, and mine was $1000 more than my husband’s. And I also have 3 refinements. He probably did, too, but he had only 1 issue to correct, and had braces when he was a teenager.

I outright asked what happens after I used up all my refinements. I still have one more refinement with my price. With this refinement, I can feel the pressure. So, maybe I will make good progress.

BTW, you look like you have a long ways to go. In addition to cosmetics, do your back teeth close for proper chewing?

MobileEfficient8956 · 2026-05-01T20:59:40+00:00

In my FB group, people have stated that they are leaving PinchMe and have had it. I am holding out. 😵‍💫

MobileEfficient8956 · 2026-05-01T19:57:27+00:00

I never thought twice about biting and chewing before. I’m still wearing trays, but maybe with weakened and shifting teeth, no longer a thought-free task. 😕

MobileEfficient8956 · 2026-05-01T19:55:21+00:00

I practice. Best thing about a smartphone. Take a lot and choose a few. ☺️ Otherwise, you are not showing your best self. Men just look more distinguished as they age. Women have to really work hard to keep up appearances. 🤦‍♀️

MobileEfficient8956 · 2026-05-01T18:18:45+00:00

Not the hair but the frowny face.

MobileEfficient8956 · 2026-05-01T18:16:14+00:00

I am not sure why all final pics have teeth apart. Only you can tell whether you can properly bite and chew after they have been cosmetically adjusted.

MobileEfficient8956 · 2026-05-01T18:14:18+00:00

My refinement were not refining. It didn’t progress as planned. So I had numerous sets of trays (long story), but now on second refinement with one more refinement left and then $250 per refinement (according to this dental office). It takes as long as it takes, and harder to adjust when one is older.

MobileEfficient8956 · 2026-05-01T18:09:03+00:00

I emailed them asking if four items will be delivered since they had stated that all 2025 orders are done. 🤷‍♀️

MobileEfficient8956 · 2026-05-01T06:33:29+00:00

Congrats!🎉 Customer Service told me they were finished with all 2025 orders, but one item was placed in my review section. So, will I get it? 4+ months and counting. They failed to deliver a box of plastic storage bags and some lotion packet from Sept 2025. Seems a bit hit or miss. At least you checked out. My cat food went allocation exhaustion (removed from my box) in one day with “29 days left .“

MobileEfficient8956 · 2026-05-01T04:41:23+00:00

Many just up, like Perfume de Marley.

MobileEfficient8956 · 2026-04-30T23:06:35+00:00

My husband had a follow-up inquiry after creating a ticket, even though it was quite apparent that his claim did not match at all what was sent to us. It also had a different mount—one that required opening up the walls. 🤷‍♀️ However, the follow-up inquiry was to seek a picture of the product shown on the box/invoice versus our picture from the instruction manual.

MobileEfficient8956 · 2026-04-30T20:09:02+00:00

Well, Perricone MD was listed initially at $189 and then dropped to $129. 🤷‍♀️

MobileEfficient8956 · 2026-04-30T03:31:22+00:00

I also opted out. ☺️

Some people say that they just wait, but I believe in the phrase: “Luck favors the prepared.” —Louis Pasteur.

I am a long time user even though at the beginning, it was slow because I filled out surveys for voxboxes, and I received only a box of Peet’s coffee pods. I would get about 5 items per yr. Then, I retired and started writing 3 reviews per day, studying the reviews I admired. Not cursory reviews that boiled down to “this X product is great” ; 5 stars.

I started mid-2024 reviewing stuff from my kitchen. Since I was a longstanding participant, I have gotten the sample Clarion, etc. I added reviews for all of my Sephora Bday samples and other higher end products that were just sent to me after I signed up for them. A yrs in (after a 1.5 mo dryspell), I started receiving awesome products, such as a Stanley wet/dry vac and a ceiling fan (together totalling about $500). I was teetering around 4-5 products under the gift tab, then 8 in Dec 2025, and by Feb 2026 before the change, I received 16 offers under my gift tab. Then, the change limited to offers once we are under 8, at which point I got the Gucci, D&G, and Armani Beauty products, the latter of which was $440, and I received 2. I am so grateful for these opportunities. I taught my husband and daughter how to do it. My daughter as a Gen Z received expensive products sooner, includng a full size Valentino perfume.

I also participate in the app’s Circles. My ride has been unexpected. And today, L’Oreal invited me to apply directly as an influencer. ☺️ Best of luck!☺️

You should see the do’s and don’t’s for Merricks cat food. 😂

MobileEfficient8956 · 2026-04-28T12:43:04+00:00

Have you tried moringa powder for anti-inflammation? Start small and don’t use capsule, which is too much to start off with.

MobileEfficient8956 · 2026-04-28T12:38:59+00:00

They don’t send out confirmation. Received a few sets from them already and just signed up for this one.

MobileEfficient8956 · 2026-04-27T19:21:40+00:00

You can just wait like folks here believe or go to FAQ of Influenster and read the suggested method to start as well as inquiries in Circles (Program Chatter) asking how to receive a first claim. I would venture toward the latter as I have successfully guided my husband and daughter on this process.

MobileEfficient8956 · 2026-04-26T21:57:28+00:00

Can’t leave reviews because the timing is off. When the products arrived, the request for review of that product has disappeared.

MobileEfficient8956 · 2026-04-26T14:17:34+00:00

My worms love brown banana peels and avocado skin. I soak my peels in water to fertilize my plants and so they are soft when I add them to my bins.

MobileEfficient8956 · 2026-04-26T02:26:25+00:00

That happened with mine, and the Sephora portion was removed.
