Kicking Out Some Sites

Unless some changes are made, this will be the last post made here about Scour, KiwiBox, P2S, InboxDollars, and PikaGame.

Scour is completely ditching their points/rewards system. See this post.

KiwiBox is also ditching their current prize system, as stated in this post. (Post URL was removed as the post seems to have been removed from their site, but they no longer have a prize system. This note is being made in this post as of 1/1/2010.)

Points2Shop (P2S) isn’t worth wasting your time on. There are tons of cheaters on this site that receive better treatment in a broken “honor system” than legitimate users. They do send out the prizes, but you’re much better off spending your time on better sites like SimpleGPT or CashPirate.

InboxDollars hasn’t paid me in over a year. They’re legitimate, but with referrals AND offers I still haven’t managed to reach $30 to receive a check. It isn’t worth my time to keep working with a site that hasn’t paid me in so long.

PikaGame showed promise, and with their major layout updates showed even more promise. However, old members got completely screwed over with their new points system., and prizes have raised up excessively in price. It isn’t a horrible site for flash games, but there are other sites out there for that.

I try to focus on the sites that are worth your time AND mine. If you come across a new site and want me to check it out, be sure to drop me a referral link!

UK Sites

All of the sites I post are open for US membership. How about sites for people in the UK? Some of them are open for UK membership and some are not. Here is a short list of sites that are open for UK membership. This is only a short list; there are other sites out there open for UK membership. If you’re interested in more information about the sites below please visit the site(s) and be sure to read the posts in my blog here!

Points2Shop – Interesting Site

I signed up for Points2Shop a little while back not expecting to do much with it. However, when you sign up and confirm your information they start you out with 250 points – basically $2.50! That’s a nice little chunk to start out with. With $2.50 to start with, why not try to bring in some more points and get something nifty? So I got to work on some offers.

Before I go into more details on that, let me tell you a little about the site and what exactly is so interesting. First, they pay you $.50 for referring people, and another $.50 when they confirm their information. So you get $1 and they get 250 points (equal to $2.50). However, if you refer a bunch of people that aren’t active, they will lower the amount that they pay you per referral. That does seem like a smart way to prevent people from scamming them with fake referrals!

Another thing that I’ve found interesting would be their Honor Levels. You can read more about those here. I’m not a big fan of this, but some people seem to love it.

Now, while you can still order gift cards from Points2Shop, I like that you can just order what you want on Amazon through them! So they complete the order, and you get your prize shortly after. It’s a great system and they have it set up well.

All in all it’s a pretty neat site. I don’t really like the honor system, and there are a few things here and there that I’ve found I’m not a huge fan of, but in the end what matters is that the site works. Right? Not only does it work, but it pays. Want proof?

So go sign up, do some offers, and get you some great freebies!
