BoomerTowners: how many points do you have now? :)

[FreebieChick]

I email'd them and ask if they can put up some lower value gc for canadians.

I'm just happy they offer us Canadians anything at all IMO.

[1764]

That's true... I am a 'bit' skeptical that they might suddenly shut down the site though... of course every bit of me hopes that will not happen...

So in that case, it would be nice to be able to redeem small gift cards.

If not for that, larger gift cards are always better!

[FreebieChick]

Not sure if they would just shut it down but if they get overwhelmed with the amount of peple joining and cashing out they may do what Pigsback did and lower pts.

[RebelXTI]

why would they just shut down the site? I dont get that way of thinking. The site seems to be doing fine and has a lot of users.

I also dont get how people can complain about stuff we get for free! I personally am totally happy that we can even get visa gift cards for doing next to nothing. Im not about to complain.

SavingKarina: if you do all the games, watch videos, vote the quotes, jokes, recipes, visit the townes... you will have 600+ points. Then chat in the chat room (100), confirm and request friends, write on their message boards... you'll get the other 900 if you're persistent... it does get boring though.....

and if you do it too fast, I am afraid they will consider you one of those trying to cheat their points... I've read that some members of slickdeals forum got banned from BT... so I am very careful now

I'm at 13550 (March 15)

Thanks for the advice. I don't think I have the problem of going too fast. lol!

[Racefan]

how do people spend 1/2 hour and get so many points?

Can people actually spend just 1/2 and get all their points? I'm usually on the site for a long time. I don't even max out everyday.

[Pretty.In.Punk]

I have 8240 points right now,I have cashed out before two best buy Gift cards,Spa pack, and few more stuff

I think it's almost impossible to get 1500 BT pts in 30 minutes IMO

[Chantal444k]

10355 points so far...yeah I don't know how it would be possible to get that many points in only 30 min. I almost never max out my points per day.

[Racefan]

I was thinking that, too. Unless you delete all of your friends, and request them all over again. That would give you the points.

[Chantal444k]

I go through the brouse profile's and just keep on requesting friendships among all the other stuff you can do. It's usually the last thing I do before I leave.

That is exactly the reason -- because we are getting something for doing next to nothing.

It is unlikely that each member can generate $50-100 profit for them in a month, which is about the amount you are able to get in visa gift cards if you max out every day ($50 in 17 days).

They also give out something like a few $1000 / month? for scavenger hunt, etc.

And from the surface, it seems they're only getting income through advertisements.

[SavingKarina]

yeah, i wonder how they do it.

[Racefan]

I guess they would get money from ads. It's like Netwinner. I think their only income is from ads. They give out a lot of money.

[1764]

I've tried Netwinner... and I seldom won anything, even like 10 pts... so I gave up.

The thing with online lottery is that they can rig the results so that you can spend hundreds of hours and never win, or win just enough to keep you trying... but since you're there for 5-10 hrs each time, you see more ads and they get more money because their ads are very visible as well.
