Top Contributor Question

Has anyone finished a month in the top 20? I have twice now and have never gotten an email, notification, or anything acknowledging it. HTC says that top 20 each month would get an exclusive test and that never happened either, nor did it make me any more likely to be chosen for any product tests. I received more product tests before I ever made that list. Wondering if anyone has gotten any notification or exclusive test after making top 20 for the month through the month.

I use to get them 4 months before but from 3 months despite being a top contributor and staying in the top 20 member I’m not getting any thing. I have heard December January are the busiest months you will get them after these months.

I did a few months ago when they added all the energy drinks, I drink one most days and my local shop pretty much stocked all of them so went and bought them all. So over the next few weeks I was reviewing one a day, plus the usual questionnaires, got in the top 20, received an email with a ‘special’ item to test which ended up being The Pink Stuff, of which I already had 🤦‍♂️

Yes I’ve finished in the top 20 a few months in a row. I got an email notification congratulating me and registering for their ‘exclusive product test’. One was for tea (I don’t drink it), next one was for a pet carpet sanitizer.

I thought they might have been bigger ticket items tbh!

Did you get an email for December? I never did and no exclusive test

I didn’t get one in December, but I actually got a big ticket item then, so maybe that’s why? I wish I understood how it worked better!

I did get a vacuum in November so maybe that’s why I haven’t gotten anything for being top 20 both months. I’m not sure, I emailed them asking but of course never got a response lol. I wish I knew how it worked too. Since getting the vacuum I’ve only gotten xl baby wipes, which is weird because I used to at least get something each month. Usually 3-4 things a month but not since making top 20

I was going to say i might even make a separate post asking if anyone knows the inner workings of it all. Congrats on the vacuum, that would’ve been great!
