Well, somewhere between 20 and 100%

. Depends on how many requests I have a given month (and the last few months I've been a bit slow with the site reviews in general, as I've been working on other sites as well as adding a DVD review section).
Overall I would estimate I've paid for access (full memberships, never tried a trial membership in my life) to roughly 60% of the 170+ sites I've reviewed.
"Seriously, though, many sponsors are no longer allowing "new" review sites the access..."
I generally don't understand this attitude (from reviewer's, not the paysites, and I'm not implying, or assuming, it's your attitude either

).
If, as a reviewer, you've got your eyes set on a site you think looks interesting and should be good for regular sales, or just a few for that matter, is... shock, horror... investing 30 bucks in a membership really such a big problem?
One sale (PPS) and you've made that back.
Edit: Recently I've actually limited the amount of requests I'll accept in a month - for the sole reason that I was getting a bit annoyed with having a growing list of interesting sites I would like to visit (and pay for) on my own, but not having enough time because I felt I ought to be doing the requested reviews first

.
