House Party?

[GOOFY4DONALD]

How many of you actuall get selected for a house party from houseparty . com? I have applied about 10 times and I have never been selected. I am just wondering if people actually get selected or if it like any other contest.

 

[MeeskaMooshka]

what is houseparty.com? I never heard of it.

I think I have done about 3 of them....the last being the Keurig and that was the best. keep trying, I'm sure you'll qualify for one soon.

I ahve done a few of them. Just keep applying and you'll get accepted eventually. It helps me that I have 4 kids since a lot of the ones I get are geared towards kids of some age. I ahve even gotten some stupid ones but I got them.

I have gotten 2 of the 6ish I have applied for, with the Keurig being the best!

I have applied for atleast 10 of them and have NEVER been selected, so now I just ignore their emails. I am done wasting my time with them.

 

[sPaRkLeSpAz]

I've applied to two and I've gotten one :]
The Secret Life one, and I was so excited, it's my favorite show. Just keep trying :]

I've applied for a few and have gotten chosen 3 times. I think it all depends on what your background info is.

I think a lot of it depends on how you answer the surveys. It helps if they think that you're the type that will really promote the product to your friends and that your friend/family will come to you for advice.

I've done 3 house parties - Barilla, Keurig and I'm a host for the Splenda party in a few weeks. I've also gotten my fair share of "sorry, you haven't been selected this time" as I apply for a lot of them! We have a group of friends that we get together with often and we love the house party goodies - it gives us an excuse for yet another gathering.

i have applied for 3 of them and been selected once...but i never got my reply in fast enough to be one of the first 1000 to reply back...i got picked for the oscar mayer hot dog one a couple of weeks ago...keep trying...

 

[JoiseyMom]

I only applied for the Keurig and got it.

I was selected to do the first party I applied for...Domino's American Legends pizzas. We had it last Saturday and had a good time and ended up with more food than everyone there could have eaten...and had pizza for lunch a few days after that. I have applied for a few more this week but they don't decide on those until September.

 

[Avonlady1001]

I apply for the ones that interest me & have been selected for quite a few. I've done Scholastic, Clairol, Velveeta, Grey Poupon, Dominos, Gerber, Disney Cruise Line, TNT, Hersheys, SC Johnson & Cartoon Network...

I've also gotten a LOT of denials...just apply, you'll get them eventually. Just make sure you check your emails, cause if you take too long to reply, you'll lose out...a bunch went to my spam & I missed out on a few because of that.

eta: Cartoon Network was my first in Oct 2007...so these are over the past 2 years, not all in a row.

Houseparty is definitely not a waste of time. I have done several over the past couple of years. They send great party packages and it is definitely worth the effort to apply for ones you are interested in.

 

[GOOFY4DONALD]

Thanks everyone. I just received the lunchable one in my email today. I am hoping to get it.

I started applying when they had the fantastic Fisher Price party in September (and that was my first one, still haven't beat that!) and I've had three more since then. I don't always apply, but I do agree it has to do with how you fill out the surveys and your demographics.

 

[mommyoftwinfants]

I only apply for those that truly interest me.

I have only done Hershey's & Cartoon Network though

I have been picked for Ford & Velveeta but both times I was at WDW and didn't respond in time.....

I also applied for the Secret Life of an American Teenager and didn't get picked for either house party.... I just love Molly Ringwald so I watched the first show and got hooked....

 

[lauradenise4779]

Don't get discouraged, you'll get "chosen" eventually.

I know sometimes they want people with kids (Fisher Price) or in a certain area (Sex & the City was all North East).

I've gotten my fair shair of denials, but I have done the Arm & Hammer, Sargento, and HawthoRNe. The party packs are usually pretty good and we have a great time!

 

[penguintux]

Can anyone explain to me what exactly house party is? I looked at the website, but I'm afraid I still just don't get it.. :/

 

[kittychatalot]

Done 5 and loved them all. Sometimes I think i is about Geography- you need to live in the area that the particular party is targeting!
