It's baaaaaaack!

You asked for it, and we listened.

Gather is thrilled to announce a TRIPLE POINTS PROMOTION!

Friday, June 6 through Thursday, June 12, Gather is upping the ante and offering you Triple Gather Points for doing all the stuff you already love doing on the site, such as: 

  • ·        Visiting and logging in to Gather
  • ·        Browsing content
  • ·        Publishing articles, images, and/or videos
  • ·        Spending time on Gather

So get busy and start earning Triple Points. It's our way of thanking you for being a valuable member of the community – and for making Gather a rewarding place be!

*One itty, bitty, little, disclaimer: Gather will not be able to accept new members into the Gather Cash Program based on this promotion. *

Woo Hoo! This is like a three for one sale. You don't know how many Gatherers you just made so very happy! The activity will certainly pick up.
Bhawana 'Gather Proud Mom' Jun 4, 2008, 6:13pm EDT
This is so good.

Thanks
Donald M. Jun 4, 2008, 6:13pm EDT
Thanks Pam that is nice to know. One question, if we were working toward cash option, does that mean the triple points wont count at all toward that? How do we keep them seperated? I may just not try for the cash and go for the points. They are good too.
Lori F. Jun 4, 2008, 6:15pm EDT
Kewl!
Jill~Sexy Back~ V. Jun 4, 2008, 6:15pm EDT
WOOOHOO!! Just when I need it most! THANK YOU GATHER!
Arlene H. Jun 4, 2008, 6:16pm EDT
Thanks for letting us know, Pam. I haven't been on Gather for ages. I've developed carpal tunnel syndrome and it really makes typing very difficult. Triple points, so tempting, though.
Pam Johnston Jun 4, 2008, 6:17pm EDT
Hi Donald - If you're working toward the cash option, you'll still receive your triple point rewards, but Gather will only count the regular point allocation when determining if you qualify for the cash program. Hope that helps... and good luck!
Rae M. Jun 4, 2008, 6:18pm EDT
Good to know.
Donald M. Jun 4, 2008, 6:21pm EDT
Thank you Pam, I appreciate your prompt answer. I too have hand problems that make my fingertips numb. When I go for my next nerve test and they get through with me I may not be able to type at all for days.
Susan B. Jun 4, 2008, 6:22pm EDT
how fun!
Donald M. Jun 4, 2008, 6:22pm EDT
I actually made the cash option in April, but the offer never came through. I have lost a lot of communiction. Gather and regular emails to, gather glitches and yahoo glitches too.

CC Miranda the artrat (or am i?) Jun 4, 2008, 6:26pm EDT
that would be nice considering my points didn't move more than 4 points over the last 3 days. were you stock piling them for this event?
Kathryn E. Jun 4, 2008, 6:28pm EDT
I had a feeling you would offer something like this since you did last year..Was very popular in the quiet weeks of summer.
Chuck M. Jun 4, 2008, 6:31pm EDT
I know what I'll be doing!
Cheryl W. Jun 4, 2008, 6:31pm EDT
Sounds great, Pam!
Woo Hoo, this is very nice news indeed. Definitely makes my day. Pam, I'd give you a hug if I could.
Sue * Jun 4, 2008, 6:33pm EDT
No kidding....we haven't had a promotion in a long time! Woo Hoo...I'm excited!
Nyota *Star* Jun 4, 2008, 6:34pm EDT
What's the cut off date for new members? Today?
Quirky Jessi Jun 4, 2008, 6:34pm EDT
That's awesome!

I have a feeling that it's going to throw a lot of people off who are trying to reach the cash program, though. :( :(
Heather W. Jun 4, 2008, 6:34pm EDT
Well isn't this awesome. Does this also apply tp us cash people too?
Heather W. Jun 4, 2008, 6:38pm EDT
that should be to instead of tp. . . I think I need to go take a nap lol
Tanya P. Jun 4, 2008, 6:41pm EDT

Vikki M. Jun 4, 2008, 6:43pm EDT

John Philipp Jun 4, 2008, 6:44pm EDT

Jenna is around here somewhere s. Jun 4, 2008, 6:45pm EDT
Thank You Gather :) I will have to publish some new and recent articles & photo's, I'm always reading but don't publish as much so this will be a big bonus for me :))

Very cool. Lovin' it. I better start thinking about some really cool topics.
Ryan M. Jun 4, 2008, 8:42pm EDT
Sweet thanks.
Mariana T. Jun 4, 2008, 8:45pm EDT
this is fantastic - I use the cash to have cats fixed - and I work with Animal Control and a couple of volunteers who are feeding them now but after the hurricanes, we had so many - anyway, this is wonderful news - I hope the four who have come of age aren't preggers yet - I'll be down on June 25th - Anyway, Thanks Gather and thank you PAM for this fabulous news!!!! Salud.
elizabeth e. Jun 4, 2008, 8:50pm EDT
Three for one is Good...but Gather needs to do something about the problems in publishing. After I write a photo essay and hit save...I come up with a blank screen. Then I copy and paste onto word...then copy and paste and create new article on Gather. Talked to kevin about this problem and he said to sign out...go to tools and clean cache and go back. Doesn't work. Tom, really frustrating.
elizabeth e. Jun 4, 2008, 8:50pm EDT
Thanks Pam.
Adelaide M. Jun 4, 2008, 8:55pm EDT
This will be my first triple points from Gather. I've only been here about a month, so I'll be interested to see how well the Triple points does at making people come out of the woodwork to talk. Glad I have nothing planned for the weekend. :)

Sherry W. Jun 4, 2008, 9:09pm EDT
Very exciting. A little something extra to do if I don't go into labor by then. ;)

Ellie !. Jun 4, 2008, 9:18pm EDT
It will be fun to watch the numbers climb...especially since I've been dragging for a while. I've been so busy that I haven't been on much. Maybe this will be what gets me back into the groove.
Barbra L. Jun 4, 2008, 9:21pm EDT
Thanks so much, Pam! This is a great motivator!!!
Lynn R. Jun 4, 2008, 9:23pm EDT
It's been a long time coming. Thanks Gather. :) This will certainly get me back on track.
