Frequently asked questions

The short answers. Still stuck? Reach us any time — the contact page has the details.

Is bluntly free?

Yes. Reading reviews and asking questions is completely free. Writing reviews is free too — and it can earn you money.

How do reviewers earn?

When your published review drives a sale through its “Buy it here” link, it earns an affiliate commission. Reviewers receive a share of that, plus rewards from the Honesty Fund.

Do I have to write only positive reviews to earn?

No — and that is the whole idea. The Honesty Fund pays honest reviewers regardless of their verdict, so a well-argued “Hard pass” is just as valuable as a rave.

How are reviews verified?

Every review begins with a real purchase link, and a moderator checks each submission before it goes live. Reviewers also build standing through six trust stages as their track record grows.

When and how do I get paid?

Earnings collect in your wallet. Once your balance reaches ₱300, you can withdraw it to PayPal from your dashboard.

What can I review?

Anything you actually bought on Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop, or Amazon. Paste the purchase link to get started.

Are the “Buy it here” links safe?

Yes. They route through bluntly to the seller you already know. bluntly may earn a commission at no extra cost to you — that is what funds honest reviews and reviewer payouts.

Can I ask a question about a product?

Yes. Use Q&A to ask owners and verified buyers directly — helpful answers earn badges and recognition.

How do I start?

Sign in with your email, paste a purchase link, and write your first review. A moderator takes it from there.
