The Official H-E-B Product Tester Program is a chance for you, an Owner and Partner, to provide feedback on our Own Brand products through taste Tests.
As you complete these Tests, you will earn Points. Each Point equals one (1) entry into a Monthly Drawing and a chance to win H-E-B Promotional Items!
To sign up, please go to hebtester.com. There, you will complete a sign-up form. Once you sign up, you will have your own personal H-E-B Product Tester account, where you can view the number of Points you have collected, schedule Tests, and complete surveys.
No. Joining and participating in the Official H-E-B Product Tester program is completely voluntary.
You must be a current H E B Partner in good standing, and your primary work location must be SA#26, SA#41, SA#36, or one of the Arsenal buildings. Partners who work at other locations are not eligible to participate in the Program, though we continue to evaluate the expansion of the Program to other areas throughout H-E-B in the future.
Once your sign-up process is complete, we will send you a welcome email with instructions for you to complete your first survey. You will receive your welcome email no later than five (5) days after you sign up.
When we are ready to receive your feedback on Own Brand products, you will receive an email with a URL link asking you to complete a screener survey. The screener survey ensures you qualify for a Test based on a product you use or consume.
If you qualify, a product kit with samples will be delivered to the Product Pickup Zone at your location for you to pick up and evaluate during your paid break time.
Our goal is for you to receive weekly communication on products to Test. However, there may be periods of time when you don’t hear from us for a couple of weeks or longer.
Please keep in mind: though you may hear from us every week, you may not necessarily qualify to participate in every Test. In addition, even if multiple Tests are offered at once, you will be limited to completing two (2) product Tests in any given week.
Product kits, which will contain your samples to Test, will be delivered to your location’s Product Pickup Zone through a contactless experience.
Your product kit will be labeled with your name and placed on a set of shelves, which will be branded as an Official H-E-B Tester Product Pickup Zone.
When you complete your screener survey and sign up for a Test, we will provide you a date and time of when your product kit will be delivered. Additionally, a confirmation email will be sent to your email which will include the delivery date and time. Finally, once our H-E-B Tester admin team delivers your product kit, we will send you an email letting you know it’s available at the Product Pickup Zone.
Typically, you will have two (2) to three (3) days to pick up your product kit and complete your Test. Specific dates and times will be provided when you sign up for each Test.
No. Please only pick up your samples during your paid break when you are scheduled to work. Prior to signing up for a Test, you will need to confirm through the screener survey that you are working the day of or at least two (2) days after the scheduled delivery date.
Please complete the Test and digital scorecard by the date provided by our H-E-B Tester admin team, which will be provided when you sign up. All Tests should be completed during your paid break(s). You can complete a Test over a single fifteen (15) minute break or over multiple breaks, if you prefer.
A Test will take less than ten (10) minutes to complete. You will have the option to complete a Test over a single break or multiple breaks. For example, if you decided to complete a Test over two (2) break periods during a single shift, you would spend less than five (5) minutes starting the Test during your first break, and less than five (5) minutes completing the Test during your second break.
Yes. You will need to bring a Wi-Fi enabled device (ex., mobile phone), so you can complete your digital scorecard. Other than the Wi-Fi enabled device, our H-E-B Tester admin team will supply everything else you need!
In most cases, you will be trying two (2) blind samples provided by our H-E-B Tester admin team. After trying the samples, you will rate them via a digital scorecard. During the Test, the digital scorecard will take you through every step.
In most cases, you will only try two (2) samples.
A URL link will be provided to you in your delivery confirmation email, which will take you to your digital scorecard, if clicked. Additionally, you can access your digital scorecard through your H-E-B Product Tester account at hebtester.com.
During the screener survey, prior to signing up for a Test, our H-E-B Tester admin team will provide you with a list of ingredients and allergens for the items in the Test. Here, you can opt out of the screener survey and not sign up for the Test, after reviewing.
Log into your H-E-B Product Tester account, then click on the “Schedule” icon. From there, select the Test you would like to cancel, then click “decline”.
If you do not complete a Test you signed up for, you will not receive any Points. If you don’t pick up your product kit, our H-E-B Tester team will dispose of it two (2) days after the Test deadline.
After you complete a Test, one (1) Point will automatically be loaded to your H-E-B Product Tester account within five (5) business days, unless noted otherwise. Each Point you earn equals one (1) Monthly Drawing entry. Entries carry over from July 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. There is no limit on the number of entries you can earn.
Promotional Items will vary month to month. Members can win KODI cups, mugs, and tumblers, H-E-B Home products, and other H-E-B Product Tester swag.
No. Promotional Items, colors, styles, and types of promotional items are subject to inventory availability.
Promotional Items will be delivered the month after each drawing. For example, if you are a winner of the July sweepstakes, you will receive your Promotional Item before August 31. Delivery times are subject to change due to inventory availability.
Promotional Items will be delivered to Product Pickup Zone the month after the sweepstakes drawing takes place unless otherwise communicated. The Promotional Item will be labeled with your name, and we will send you an email letting you know it has been delivered, so you can pick it up. You don’t need to sign anything or need a manager’s approval to pick up your Promotional Item.
