#AskEden: Free assignment product is discontinued... now what? - Created by Lady of the Lab on Oct 19, 2012: EdenFantasys Forum

I found a product for the first time that I could review as a free assignment. It was shipped out earlier this week and I decided to check the product page to verify the number of pages, etc. However, I was surprised to see the product had been discontinued.

I've submitted a support ticket (with no response) asking: "What is the point of reviewing a product that no one else will be able to buy?" and "Do I get to keep the book?".

Have you had this happen to you?

This hasn't happened to me, but you're still required to do the review. Lots of people review things that are discontinued because a) it may come back at some point in the future and b) people use EF to search for reviews for products available from other sites. So the review could still be useful to some.

I had done the same for a massage candle that EF never carried (but had listed). You'll still get points and credit for doing the review, and - like Kira said - it'll either be carried later on or be available as a review for other people to consult. You'll definitely get to keep the product.
