AmazingDealsGroup (ADG), is a site that brings reviewers and sellers together. You like to leave reviews for products you've purchased, and they have sellers who need honest reviewers for their products. It's a win-win for both! In the interest of full disclosure, there are affiliate links and referral links within this post. The referral link is one I've been given, but receive no monetary benefit from.
So, how does the site work?
ADG has what they call "Deal Coins". When you join, you get a deal coin, and then when you share the site on twitter or facebook, you get a second deal coin.
In order to review products on the site, you need a deal coin. If you see a product you would like to review, you click on it. If you decide you really want it, you click the continue button, and it will show you the promo code to get the item at whatever "deal" they have it listed for on the site. It can be anywhere from FREE to whatever the company has agreed to. Typically, they seem to be FREE to a couple of dollars.
You put it into your cart on Amazon, and when you go to check out, there will be a place to enter a promo code. See example image below:
Then the best part comes......when you see the price change right before your eyes like magic:
Now remember, you start off with 2 deal coins (unless you don't share or tweet when you join), and if you choose a product to review, you now have 1 deal coin left. You can save it to use another time, or if you see something else you are interested in, grab it! I say that because, you never know how many of each item is available at that discounted price. There may only be a handful or hundreds....you just don't know.
Once you receive the item in the mail, try it out, and leave a review ASAP. Companies prefer you leave a review within a week. Sometimes you may need more time than that. If I find I need a lot more time, then I go ahead, write my review as best I can, and then note that I will update if I find I need to. Just make sure when you write your review, that you state something to the effect of "I was able to purchase this item at a discount in exchange for my honest review" to make sure you stay within the guidelines of the site you are using, Amazon, and .COM Disclosure.
You've used up your deal coins, now what?
Once you leave a review, and submit it for verification, ADG will verify it, and you will get another deal coin back. You can use it that very instant if you wish. So, we all start out with 2 deal coins, spend them, get them back when a review is verified. Easy system!
How do I keep track of my purchases on ADG?
Your purchase history is called the "Deal Queue". You see it first when you log onto the site. The purchase history shows the items in the order they were purchased. It has the date, code used, and the amount paid. I like that I can look at my purchase history there, and at a glance, see all the details.
Is ADG on any social sites?
ADG has a facebook page, and a twitter feed. They are active on both, but more on facebook. I highly recommend checking their facebook page often when you have deal coins available to use! Sometimes they give you a glance at what will be offered that day, other times it's good information, a sneak peek of a particular item, or are there to answer questions you may have.
PLEASE NOTE: If you have a question or issue with an order, contact them directly through their site, NOT the facebook page. They'll be more than happy to help you out. That advice goes for ALL company/site pages. Try to work it out behind the scenes first. If that fails, then go public with it.
By the way, ADG has AMAZING customer service!
What kinds of things are there to review?
Here is a sampling of just some of the products I've purchased and reviewed in the last few weeks:

Now, I've only been doing this right at 2 months, and between all the sites I am using, I have been able to purchase and review 121 items as of this posting. It's addicting!!! So watch out! I think I might need a self-help group for testing products and review addiction!
Things you need to know:
1. More than one person is allowed per household. However, additional ADG accounts
require unique Amazon accounts. ie you can't create 2 ADG accounts from just
one Amazon account.
2. If you purchase an item, and do not leave a review, you will more than likely be
banned from ever using the site again.
3. You cannot purchase the same item more than once (not sure if that is per
household)
4. Having Amazon Prime is a huge benefit for product reviewers/testers FREE S/H
5. You cannot purchase or receive any items with the intention of selling them to make
money.
6. Your promo code they give for each product is a unique code that is single use only.
**If you happen to be a seller participating with ADG, this is a HUGE benefit for
you since there would be no "code sharing" to worry about.
7. You will need to enter your Amazon Profile link in order for them to verify your
review. Log into Amazon, go to account, scroll down to profile, click and copy link.
Enter on the site where prompted under "My Profile".
8. When writing a review be HONEST, and do not just write, "Loved it, I was able to
purchase this item at a discount in exchange for my honest review". That won't cut
it!
9. It's FUN, and addicting, so be prepared!
