Are points coming a bit faster now than they were a few months ago? I started tracking daily amounts back in January to try earn a set amount each month for the camping trip I wanna take the kids on in June. Well, I was just talking to hubby about it earlier- 4 months ago, I felt like I was on Gather a lot more than I have been over the past few days, and I was struggling to meet my goal, which was 80 points lower than I have it at now.

The past two days, I've barely been on Gather, but still made my goal each day- yesterday, I was WAY over the goal. Today, I'm well past it as well, and again, without hardly being on.

As the months went on, it seems like it's gotten easier. I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed an increase in points vs what they were earning a few months ago.

i havent noticed yet
Anne Marie A. Apr 20, 2009, 6:24pm EDT
I noticed over the weekend.
Teresa A. Apr 20, 2009, 6:24pm EDT
I can't say that I have noticed any changes at all.
Netty B. Apr 20, 2009, 6:24pm EDT
It does seem as though it is faster at times, but I have not noticed any kind of pattern.
Rae M. Apr 20, 2009, 6:26pm EDT
It has been a little better, I remember about a month ago it was going really slow, but lately I have been easily making my daily goal too.
charity kimball ツ Apr 20, 2009, 6:30pm EDT
glad you have but I havent noticed anything coming faster...lol
Alex In Wonderland Apr 20, 2009, 6:33pm EDT
Mine aren't exactly coming in fast but they aren't slower than they used to be either.

There were a few chats with the chance to win 250 Gather points recently- have you won one of those?
carolina m Apr 20, 2009, 6:36pm EDT
yea, not for me
If I won any chats, I don't know about it. I never went up by that much at a single time, though, either. If I won any, it would have still been smaller amounts- 25 or 50 points.

Hopefully, it's just that the points are coming easier, because then it benefits everyone!

I have not been around much over the last week ................................
Renee S. Apr 20, 2009, 6:43pm EDT
Mine are slower.
Felicia R. Apr 20, 2009, 6:47pm EDT
thanks for sharing... if anything I have noticed my points are slow... but who knows.. we will see if I can gain points again I just finally cashed out... since I just realized I have 3 days to pay my cell phone bill
Karen A. Apr 20, 2009, 6:48pm EDT
I wish... I only get a few a day :-(
Carla B. Apr 20, 2009, 6:53pm EDT
It seems like mine have been rolling in about the same amount per day, even though I haven't been on gather as much lately. It's not a huge difference in how much I'm on, but I'm still happy about it. :)
carolyn b. Apr 20, 2009, 6:58pm EDT
I haven't noticed but they are going slow
Robyn F. Apr 20, 2009, 7:12pm EDT
havent noticed
Nancy * Apr 20, 2009, 8:16pm EDT
I just think the gathergods like you best Heather LOL
carmel m. Apr 20, 2009, 8:16pm EDT
They seem slow to me.
Erinn K. Apr 20, 2009, 8:32pm EDT
My points seem to be doing the opposite. They were coming really fast at first, and now they have slowed down a little bit, even though I have been doing just as much, if not more. The points confuse me *LoL*
Sophie S. Apr 20, 2009, 9:24pm EDT
lol, no, not really. There were a couple days last week that I actually saw an increase in points, but otherwise I feel that it took longer for them to come in. Before the new year I was doing about $25 a month, it took two and a half months to reach that same point this last time.
Marsha S. Apr 20, 2009, 9:24pm EDT
I've noticed but it happened after I got in on the commenting groups
Rob Appell Apr 20, 2009, 9:29pm EDT
I haven't paid much attention to the rate points are coming in. I just know I'm still busting my butt to get them and keep my accumulation numbers high. Maybe that's how I picked up 277 points a couple of days ago. I know I haven't won any chat points or contests for points, so I'm hoping you're right and the totals keep increase at a higher pace.
So far, my daily average for April is 290 points a day- I had a few days under 200 points, but the points have gotten a lot easier all the sudden for me.
Karen S. Apr 20, 2009, 9:47pm EDT
i need more points I am getting close to a gift card :)
Heidi Cole Apr 20, 2009, 10:19pm EDT
I have noticed the points are coming in quite a bit faster for me in the last three weeks. I haven't even been posting much, so I am gettig more points with a lot less work.
♥ Adair ♥ K. Apr 20, 2009, 10:42pm EDT
Mine seem to be coming faster. I'm just thankful for any that I get in a day.
dee b. Apr 20, 2009, 10:50pm EDT
Haven't noticed any real increases no matter how much or little I am on here. I'm lucky to make 15 points a nite.
Linda M. Apr 21, 2009, 1:21am EDT
290 points a day with 3 kids? Amazing.
Leah Christensen Apr 21, 2009, 4:00am EDT
I think it might be different for different people. Take Walker and I, for example. We're both extremely active. Sometimes when I get loads of points, he complains that he hardly gets any, and vice versa. Are points faster for Nick as well?

I don't know why it fluctuates, but it seems to.
edna r. Apr 21, 2009, 4:37am EDT
290 a day? Wow, that's a lot of points! Way to go!
Brittney R. Apr 21, 2009, 9:34am EDT
Well, I noticed an increase just recently, but I have taken the advice to view videos. I never did when I was on dialup, but at work, I let them load while I'm doing something else. So I figured that was the reason for my points growing faster.
Heather ~of the Whippets~ M. Apr 21, 2009, 12:31pm EDT
No. I haven't noticed any real difference.
Heather M. Apr 24, 2009, 1:59pm EDT
wanna let me in on the joke lol...... how are you able to pull off about 290 lol I can hardly reach 30-50 a day and I do alot on here...lol
juley g. Apr 30, 2009, 2:16pm EDT
I think it's been adding up faster these days too.
