Our seventh point words article: Sheknows 'Points & Prizes'

January 31, 2008 07:23 PM EST
views: 2957 | comments: 193

Hello to all my fellow Points & Prizes members and fans. This article is just a continuation of 6 others that I've posted here on Gather already.

Here is the 1st article: Points & Prizes words & discussion: April 2007
Here is the 2nd article: Points & Prizes article & discussion: July 2007
Here is the 3rd article: Points & Prizes article & discussion: October 2007
Here is the 4th article: Points & Prizes article &discussion: December 2007
Here is the 5th article: Points & Prizes article & discussion: January 2008
Here is the 6th article: Points & Prizes article & discussion: January 2008


I'm posting this new one just so it will load faster than the other ones. I appreciate all of the points words you all have been contributing, it's been GREAT.

For those of you who are just coming across this article and have no idea what I'm talking about, then I'll give a quick explanation. I'm talking about a website called "Points & Prizes".

It's FREE, of course, I would never spend time on any points or survey program that I have to pay for. I am a stay at home mom and like to find fun things to do online to earn a few extra bucks, gift cards, and ways to save money in general.


Please click here --> www.pointsandprizes.com <-- to find out more about this website.

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

I copied the statement below directly from the website:

Join for free, earn points on our partner sites, then use your points to raidour prize box for things like movie and TV show DVDs, CDs, clothes, gift cards, books, calendars, planners, beauty products, magazines andall 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:

  • Spot a Points & Prizes bonus code ad banner on one of our partner sites
  • Sign up for email newsletters on one of our partner sites and look for point codes in their 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.)
  • Join in on a message board discussion and discover points posted by our P&P Coordinator
  • Enter a contest
  • Tell a friend about this site
  • Pick up a point code in one of our partner print magazines
  • Search the comments on SheKnows Photo Zone for hidden Point Words

...and there are many more ways to win! (But do note that not all ofthese 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 prizebox is our virtual store -- but instead of money, you use the freepoints 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.

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


Please click here --> www.pointsandprizes.com <-- to visit the website and post your point words here. Thanks!

~ Faith

Jody M., I don't think the new words are out yet. I would wait until the new contest is posted
before starting to search.

I just wish we could figure out how the winners got over 1000 points more than everyone else

Can I say ditto? I haven't seen any new words and I have NO idea where those people found the additional words. I wish they'd let us see the lists of words when the contest is over!

Nichole - Each site has a weekly 250 point word (see the bottom of this page http://www.sheknows.com/ in the pink box "cabarello"). When there is a contest (each month I think) the keywords are placed somewhere within the site. I have found that on some sites such as iChef that the same word will be on hundreds of pages.. you just have to basically start clicking every link to see what you find. There are also contest words in the message boards. These words will be found in someone's post - usually right after the text but before their signature if they have one... at least this is what I have noticed. They will not always be in current posts... but usually on the first page or two of the thread. I was told my a points and prizes staffer that they usually try to put them in the slower boards - whether or not that is true I have no idea... though for the new years hunt I did find quite a few on some very slow boards. Then there are the newsletter keywords. You have to sign up to receive the SheKnows newsletters and there will be a keyword in each one. Then if you click on the links to the articles you will find another keyword at the bottom. There are also keywords in some of the contest links. Hope this helps!

I should qualify that there are 11 participating sites for the monthly contest that have somewhere between 1 and 5 keywords plus one more (GeoParent) that will have only one word. When you go to the claim word page it will show you all of the participating sites. And the message boards have 50 hunt words (so far as anyone has been able to tell). For the weekly keywords I'm assuming it is the same 12 sites but there could be more that I'm not thinking of. Anyone else know how many partner sites have weekly 250 pt keywords?

Jody, I have 16 sites with the 250pt words. This week though, ChildFun and MyChildFun both have the same word - COMICALITY. I don't think they meant to do this because they were having problems with getting the new word up on MyChildFun.

Anyone know if there are more than 16 sites?

So far as I know... and the monthly hunt words don't appear to be posted yet for this month. Last month it was said that many of the words weren't posted until mid-month or later. It sounds like a lot of people emailed about it so hopefully they will post them earlier this month. The weekly words are pretty easy.. the hunt words are definitely more challenging... though check here throughout and you'll probably find that people will post them. :)

yes Michelle, they were posted on the previous 2 articles.

As for the newsletters, I know I signed up for them all but I'm not receiving them all - or if I do get them, its 2 days later than everyone else. That's part of the reason I like to know where the words are coming from - a hunt or links from the newsletters.

I seem to get mine a few days after they are posted here as well. I get the following newsletters each week: daily preg reminder and preg calendar, (all of the following are preceeded by 'sheknows') diet & fitness, chef mom, consumer corner, family & parenting, food & cooking, low carb, singles & dating, this week and points and prizes. I had signed up for these back in 2005 and then suddenly stopped receiving them. It had something to do with the mail server that my mail was coming through... it got rejected or sent to junk. I don't know if there was a change at the mail server or if it was because I added the sheknows admin address to my address book but I finally started getting them again in late 2007 (all those missed points!) OH, I also signed up for some of the partner sites newsletters - I'm not sure how they call them newsletters but they aren't worth signing up for... no keywords, hints or anything of use but a few links to their website.

I have a question. I have a site bookmarked for a Daily Word for a contest on QuickandSimple. Now I dont' know where I got the info. Does anyone know anything about this? My info ended on 2/2 and now I am blank. Thank for these postings, everyone. I am looking at my newsletters but I always seem to come up with words that everyone has already posted. ;-( I am trying. :-)

I tried to, but it wouldn't let me log in... I emailed that the registration verification email they sent me (the link) wasn't valid but I haven't heard back.

Has anyone found any Valentine's Day hunt words yet? I am starting to think they haven't actually posted any.... all I've been finding are new years, thanksgiving, back to school and flip flop contest words. :( And there isn't a "leader board" posted yet.

Grrr....I'm trying to enter a contest on sheknows and it wont let me log in. Anybody else have this problem before? I even requested a new password and that didn't work and I know I'm entering my email right.

I tried to enter also but you have to have a separate account for contests (who knows why!) and when I signed up for that account I got the confirmation email but the url didn't work... so I copied and pasted it and it still didn't work... I emailed them (two or three days ago) like they said and haven't heard back! :(

I had the same problem at first with the activation, but was able to fix it.

To fix the problem, locate the part of the url with your email address. There should
be something like this: email=susan%40yahoo.com

Change the %40 to @ so it will instead read email=susan@yahoo.com

Hope this works for you.

And I voted for you Susan - by the way! :) Did it take long for your entry to show up? I was editing mine and hoped to be able to preview the changes I made before submitting but it just submitted and I don't know what it looks like. Oh well! Hopefully I'll be able to see it soon.

Jody, thanks for the vote. I submitted my entry in the evening and it went through the next afternoon. Probably depends if you submitted it during business hours or not.

Nicole, you need to register separately for points and prizes and Sheknows contest.
But I believe it is the same registration for the contest and the Sheknows message boards. So if you already registered for the Sheknows message boards, you should be able to log in.

Use the same email address to register so it can credit your points and prizes account.

Michelle, this is for people who registered for Sheknows.com contest and were sent an activation email to activate account. The url is in the email and does not work.
Below is the page to register for the Sheknows.com contest. You must register if you want to vote in the contest or to enter the contest.
http://www.sheknows.com/contests/index.php?view=signup&

After you register, they will send you an activation email. When you click on url in the email it gives an error message. In order to activate your account, you must change
the url so that your email address has a @ in it instead of %40

Then you can vote in the Cutest Couple contest or other future contests. You get points for entering and for voting. You can vote 10 times per day.

Hope this was clear. Good luck!

I've been searching and searching.. and I can't find anything but old ones. I also don't see any 10 pt words or any words on family corner and iChef so my guess is that they haven't posted any of these words yet... much like last month. I've also noticed the leader board isn't up...

It should take less than five mins to get an activation link or you can try entering in your email to have them resend your password (not sure if it works, but might)

I have found this site to be less than user friendly. I got to the list of contestants once with the big red vote buttons but then when I hit the button, it led me to their story and then a smaller vote and when I hit that it said I had to log in. When I looked at the bottom for the link to contact them, they don't even provide a live link. I know I shouldn't complain but it shouldn't be that hard to vote. lol I am still trying.

Nicole, the activation link comes within a couple of hours if I remember correctly. Remember to check your junk mail box in case it goes there.

Wanda, try going here first to log in
http://www.sheknows.com/contests/login.php
Then you should be able to vote in the contest.

I want everyone to know that I've been dividing my votes among you. I wanted to be fair to everyone.
Wanda; when it says that you have to te be logged in to vote for the contests; that sentence has the link to log-in right in it. I can't remember the exact wording of the sentence; but, one of those words takes you to the log-in page.

Thanks for the votes everyone. I really appreciate it.

Just to clarify: You get 50 points per vote, not 50 per day, so a potential of 500 points/day since you can vote 10 times a day.

You get only one sweepstakes entry per day though.

Someone PM'd me a question, so I'll post the answer to everyone. She asked why when she voted, the person's number of votes stayed the same.

Pressing the red 'Vote' button is not enough to vote. After the red vote button you will be taken to the person's entry, then you must hit 'vote' again. You should be taken to a page
that says that your vote was recorded. Then if you want to vote for that same person again, you click on go back to entry and hit vote again. You can do this 10 times or you can spread your votes to multiple entries.

The number of entries updates immediately, so you should then see a change.

Hope this helps.

Susan :)

Oops above word posted should be 'lavender'.

Sheila, I don't think the 10 pointers are up yet.

Michelle, are you sure you have the right password? Did you reset your password after activation? Good luck with it.

Did you have the password sent before or after activation? If before, you may need to do it again.

Michelle, you don't need to do the activation again, just getting a new password again. Then wait awhile before trying to log in. Other than that, your only other option is to try to get in contact with Sheknows.

I've contacted Points and Prizes. Hopefully they answer soon. I'm losing votes and points every single minute! I'm not even sure if it's worth it. As of now I need over 700 votes to even think about winning!

Thank you so much for finding all the words!! They help me more than you know! Also, I signed up my hubby and me for the Cutest couple. Not that I expect any votes, but I do love my hubby and the points are always a plus!
Our photo is under Barbara L. and I call it the second time around!

I'm also in the contest as well, thank you if you voted for me. Either way we're all benefiting from it, really. I vote for others cause I think it's more fair. I don't know how the people at the top got that many votes..
