I found a GREAT new points site: Points & Prizes, by SheKnows.com

Alrighty everyone, this is a new site that I'm really excited about. It's called "Points & Prizes" and even though I just started participating on it, I've already earned a LOT of points. It's FREE, of course, I would never spend time on any points or survey program that I have to pay for.

Here is my direct referral link: http://pointsandprizes.com/admin.php?action=referin&id=3274 and if you sign up with that, I'll earn 100 points.

***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****

I copied this from their website to let you know what it's all about:

Join for free, earn points on our partner sites, then use your points to raid our prize box for things like movie and TV show DVDs, CDs, clothes, gift cards, books, calendars, planners, beauty products, magazines and all sorts of other cool stuff! And the more you play, the more points you will earn -- and the more prizes you can get.

We have nestled point codes into our partner web sites in many different places. Here are examples of just some of the ways you might earn points:

*Sign up for an email newsletter on one of our partner sites
*Find a point code in one of those email newsletters
*Locate a point code on one of our partner web sites (could be in an advertisement, hidden in the text of an article, etc.)
*Enter a contest
*Tell a friend about this site
*Take a survey
*Join in on a message board discussion
*Pick up a point code in one of our partner print magazines
*Spot a Points & Prizes bonus code ad banner on one of our partner sites

... and there are many more ways to win! (But do note that not all of these actions will earn you points, we and our partner sites will let you know some specific ways to win. That said, sometimes there will be surprises and bonus point codes made available!)

Just take the point word you get from this or one of our partner sites, and enter it into the box on the "claim a word" page. If the word is right, your account will be credited with points! Point words have varying values -- some are worth a little, others are worth a lot.

Our prize box is our virtual store -- but instead of money, you use the free points you have earned to purchase items! At the end of each description in the prize box, you will see how many points are needed to buy that item. Items are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Point prices include shipping within the US (including AFO/FPO) and Canada.

***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****

So, with that said... right now they are having an "Easter Egg Hunt" and they've hidden tons of Easter Eggs within their message boards with code words worth points. I started looking for them last night, and have already found 33 codes ranging between 10 points to 200 points!!!

Just check this one out, it looks like a great point earning website, and there is a LOT of really neat information available to you, since it's brought to us by www.SheKnows.com.

Have fun and don't forget to use my direct referral link (http://pointsandprizes.com/admin.php?action=referin&id=3274) so I'll earn points when you sign up.

The link wouldn't work for me Faith.
Deb J. Apr 2, 2007, 6:26pm EDT
Thanks Faith, I will definately go check it out. You doing okay today. I hope so. Grandbaby just got here. Gotta go.
☆ ƒåitĥ ☆ Apr 2, 2007, 6:27pm EDT
"Our apologies: Points and Prizes is down briefly for programming updates."

Hahaha - that just figures, doesn't it? Sorry guys - just keep trying!
Ang, wandering aimlessly, G. Apr 2, 2007, 6:35pm EDT
I'm headed there to check this out. Thank for saring.
Karen M. Apr 2, 2007, 6:37pm EDT
Thanks for sharing !!
Laurun M. Apr 2, 2007, 6:40pm EDT
I'll try to try again later.
*LORA* M. Apr 2, 2007, 6:41pm EDT
cool. thanks
Jenna S. Apr 2, 2007, 6:49pm EDT
I love this site. I've been a member since last week and half way to cashing out for an item I want but it's currently not in stock.
Maria G. Apr 2, 2007, 6:53pm EDT
Thanks for the info Faith. Site is still updating, so I'll check back later.
Bridget ♥ Apr 2, 2007, 7:25pm EDT
I used to be a regular over there, but didn't really like the prizes they offered! And it took FOREVER to earn points!
☆ ƒåitĥ ☆ Apr 2, 2007, 7:28pm EDT
Sorry guys, it's STILL updating. Ugh, that is totally how my life seems to work.

Bridget: I think this current Easter Egg Hunt will increase your points pretty quickly, if you wanted to try it again. Want the codes I've found so far?
qawsedrftgyh .. Apr 2, 2007, 7:49pm EDT
Thanks Faith. Tried but yep they are updating will try later :o)
Christina Pilkington Apr 2, 2007, 7:52pm EDT
I just tried too and it didn't work. I'll check back soon, though, and sign up with your referral. Thanks for passing along the info!
Shaunee C. Apr 2, 2007, 8:18pm EDT
It says it is down but i will try it again later sounds realy neat.
☆ ƒåitĥ ☆ Apr 2, 2007, 8:21pm EDT
Geesh - how long can a site update? It's now 5:23 pacific time and it's still updating!
Larry H. Apr 2, 2007, 8:21pm EDT
thanks for sharing...
Kathy and her Buckethead H. Apr 2, 2007, 8:32pm EDT
It is easy to earn the points, but it is difficult to cash them in. They have a lot of prizes that are "out of stock" I did get a book about swimming for my niece, but it was the only thing I could find.
the link so ain't working for me....it's about par for my day.
Deb J. Apr 2, 2007, 8:42pm EDT
Hey Faith, I'll be checkin' it out tomorrow or whenever I can get to it.
Bridget ♥ Apr 2, 2007, 9:12pm EDT
Faith, YES send me the codes! LOL! I'm willing to give it another try! I was a member over a year ago!
Bridget ♥ Apr 2, 2007, 9:13pm EDT
In my previous post I meant to say that it took forever to get the prizes, not the points! Points were easy but there was hardly ever anything in stock! Like the other posters have stated!
Cortney R. Apr 2, 2007, 9:46pm EDT
Thanks for the great info. When it is back up I will sign up under your referal.
☆ ƒåitĥ ☆ Apr 2, 2007, 9:54pm EDT
Boy, I sure would like to enter some of these codes I've found at the Easter Egg Hunt, but the site is STILL down. You can only enter 5 codes per hour too, so it's kind of bugging me.

Cortney R: You're welcome and thanks for checking the place out. It really does look fun, but I guess you and I will have to keep the things that Bridget A, Jenna S and Kathy H have said. Looks like the things that we want are more than likely going to be out of stock. Oh well, I'm still going to plunk away at it and see what happens.
☆ ƒåitĥ ☆ Apr 2, 2007, 9:56pm EDT
Everyone: I've decided that I will share my efforts with you, because I've been searching for codes since last night... so I'll list them all here. I know some of the spellings are funky, but that's how the site has them, and so that's what we'll have to enter. I'll post them as I find them.

Just keep in mind these do have an experation code. So, if it's past midnight and it says it expires on such and such a date and your an hour or two to late you won't get that code.
☆ ƒåitĥ ☆ Apr 2, 2007, 11:26pm EDT
Well, everyone... the site is STILL giving me problems! I tell you, this is really how things work out for me. I get excited about something, then share it with others... then I look dumb for even saying anything. Oh well, I'm still finding codes and posting them and then I'll just try them every now and then and see if the site will accept them.
☆ ƒåitĥ ☆ Apr 2, 2007, 11:27pm EDT
Jenna : Thanks... the codes I'm finding are from the Easter Egg Hunt and they don't have expiration dates listed on them and the site just had an upgrade or something, so I think it might have something to do with that. I hope???
Jenna S. Apr 2, 2007, 11:54pm EDT
Faith- I didn't check the site intil right after I posted this. They changed it around and that's why it's alot different now. I emailed them because I was having problems all day. I noticed there was a script/code error when I entered a word in. I'm waiting to see how the respond. Last week they had a word they kept on the homepage for every worth 3500 points because they had problems with some things. So, I'm assumming since the site is changed these errors are all steming back from that.
Jenna S. Apr 2, 2007, 11:55pm EDT
correction-problems when I tried to enter words. You didn't need to put where you found the word before either. It's a pain now.
Jenna S. Apr 3, 2007, 12:51am EDT
Ok, email update...It didn't take long for them to respond either.Here's the reply

"This issue has been resolved. Thank you for reporting it! Please let
me know if you have any other issues with the new site and don't forget
to check out the new "sort by point cost" feature on our prize page."
j - Frugal Mom - r. Apr 3, 2007, 1:38am EDT
Thank you so much for all the codes. I just became a member last week. I hope this site actually pays out. Please update, if any one of you receive "payment/rewards".
☆ ƒåitĥ ☆ Apr 3, 2007, 2:18am EDT
You're so welcome, j r! I hope it pays out too, and I'll keep adding codes as I find them and I'll let you know if/when I cash out and how long it takes to get the rewards.
☆ ƒåitĥ ☆ Apr 3, 2007, 2:36am EDT
Jenna: I just went back there again and they've taken off the option where you need to choose what the source of the code was, and... I was able to submit all of my codes. Before, it would only let me add 5 at a time.

ummm...ok, Amanda, ... i saw those point totals and thought, "This is a joke or something" and then I tried them and they worked so you are officially my favorite person for the rest of the evening! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
☆ ƒåitĥ ☆ Apr 10, 2007, 7:33pm EDT
In light of the recent Anna Nicole Smith news about Larry BIRKHEAD being the baby's father... the new word is:

BIRKHEAD
☆ ƒåitĥ ☆ Apr 10, 2007, 7:36pm EDT
Darn it, Amanda - I was SO excited to see this, then went to the website and they had this HUGE disclaimer on there that said:

Notice: Although we greatly appreciate your patience while we work through the bugs in the system, please be aware that blatantly abusing bugs will not be rewarded. Before ordering is reactivated a word claim reconciliation will be done and any words that have been claimed after their expiration date will be removed from point totals. Abuses will be recorded and dealt with according to our Terms and Conditions.

Please remember that the best way to earn points is by visiting partner sites and looking for current words to claim.

The word "Clouds" has been set to a point value of Zero. It was formally worth 30,000 and was issued to one person as a refund of points for purchase of a product we no longer had in stock. It was never supposed to be in circulation and was "found" by someone who was guessing at words/using a 'bot' to input words automatically. If you claimed the word "Clouds" no action will be taken against your account, nor will the 30K be reapplied to your account.

Please remember that the best way to earn points is by visiting partner sites and looking for current words to claim.
☆ ƒåitĥ ☆ Apr 10, 2007, 7:39pm EDT
Amanda: I also tried moon, SUN, sky and star and they have all been expired. Darn it, but thanks so much for letting us know.

Wandering Soul: That is GREAT that you got those points! Also... thanks for the words you gave me. I was able to get one of them to work. :o)
☆ ƒåitĥ ☆ Apr 10, 2007, 7:40pm EDT
My account balance is now down to: 10,130. It looks like they took off any point totals from words I entered that were expired. Oh well, I'll keep trying!
