Why is every item I want to review not allowed?

You can always do a buy out review on those items. That means you purchase it, but get a 30% discount on it, and you are still under obligation to write your review.

Also, when you're doing your product search, make sure and put "Without any reviews" in the box, and you won't have that problem.

you can also get your own code and use it yourself, by becoming an affiliate. there's a bunch of threads on how to do that. Also, i think the going rate is 3 reviews per item that are available for reviewers free of charge. if you see an item on the product search page (without specifying 'without reviews' since 3 reviews are allowed on each item) then hover over the (i) and it'll say how many reviews are already on the item. if that makes sense? otherwise just checking maybe earlier in the day might get you a better chance at the new new items before other potential reviewers request them?

Thanks so much. I didnt know I could get my own and put money back in my pocket. I tried using a affiliate code on my buyout items but it didn't take. Did anyone else try this? I only found one item that hadn't been reviewed 3 times that I could actually use :-( but hey its free.

yah, it's good to know you can have your own affiliate code and use it also, i forgot to mention that you can't stack discounts, such as with the affiliate codes. though... i think if you're wanting to help someone else out, if you click on an affiliate link, ie through a blog of an affiliate and there's a LINK or a banner that takes you directly to ef, they get like 20% commission. No added discount to you, though they don't stack anyhow so that wouldn't be an issue with a buy-out. Ayeaye this is confusing to communicate. Hope that makes sense though. Also, my first review that is sponsored by ef i have yet to be done with and i got it several monthes ago. The first propduct did come apart after a month just as i was getting done with the review, though so i've essentially had 2 products to review, though i know its' been more than 6 weeks. I'm just a perfectionist and procrastinator and been busy, Soon though~! They haven't bugged me about it. They just won't send a new product for review either.

I've not used my own code for commissions yet. Though, I think the whole amount is applicable to the commission total? Also, if you want a bigger commission, then I'd suggest maybe the whole Affiliate Link thing. When you want to make a profit off yaself, and are making a buy-out purchase, since coupons don't stack, it seems like going through an affiliate link would be more fruitful. Like, you woudn't get a discount, but with 30% discount already and points, you might not need it. Then you would get 20% commissions back in your hand. I'm not quite sure on whether you'd be able to like link from your blog or account though and make a buy-out for sure as I have not. Seems like a really awesome opportunity to help yourself out and if you contribute a review, not abuse E.F.
and hola from ia

That's a dang good idea. Maybe that is how I got so much commission last month....LOL! Although, I have one theory to say that it might not work. There have been very few times that I've remembered to put in my code, and SUPPOSEDLY, if you click on one of those affiliate links, the code is supposed to stick with you for 180 days, so that if you come back to the site at a later time, the person would still get credit. So that would mean that technically, it would already work for me, and I haven't noticed my commission going up THAT much. So, I don't know....lol.
