A Little Worried - Gather Points

I'm a little concerned.  I haven't been notified lately that I've won a contest, but my points jumped about 150 overnight!  I think it's great, but if it's a fluke, I don't want them cancelling my account thinking I've cheated or something.  Has anyone heard anything about this?  Has this happened to anyone else?

Wow! I'd love for such a thing to happen. I wish I could remember who it was who posted about a similar event about a month or so ago, but maybe it's just that points that weren't credited caught up! I hope you'll find that's the case.

I could only dream that my points jump that much....I am sure it is ok
Alex In Wonderland Nov 7, 2009, 11:29am EST
I wish it had happened to me! I need 600 more points before Christmas!!!
Pam H. Nov 7, 2009, 7:51pm EST

I hope it isn't a mistake, it sounds great!

Im sure you wont be in trouble,they should know if they made a mistake like that...But maybe its not a fluke!! and you really did earn those hard earned points!
Denise B. Nov 7, 2009, 1:45pm EST

Elaine A. Nov 7, 2009, 1:55pm EST
maybe you had quite a bit more than normal of page views
Laura C. Nov 10, 2009, 3:55pm EST
that's what I was thinking too! i'd love that to happen LOL
Cortney R. Nov 7, 2009, 2:24pm EST
I hope the points are for real. And if they are I bet you are happy about them.
♥Tabitha Cowan♥ Nov 7, 2009, 2:32pm EST
Dang, I hope it's real.
Bryan "That 80's Dude" B. Nov 7, 2009, 2:33pm EST
best wishes on them being real
Janell R. Nov 7, 2009, 3:46pm EST
I hope their real. That's quite a jump. I haven't had anything like that happen. Sometimes it takes quite awhile before I've been credited for a contest, though.

My points jumped too. I aint complainin'!
regina guthrey Nov 7, 2009, 5:08pm EST
Wish my would jump!!
carolyn b. Nov 7, 2009, 5:23pm EST
Mine haven't jumped and I wished it did, just email someone and see.
Marianne R. Nov 7, 2009, 5:26pm EST
Must be nice. Mine have been crap for about a week
fancy c. Nov 7, 2009, 5:30pm EST
i viewed your stuff last night
Marilyn M. Nov 7, 2009, 5:45pm EST
Something strange is going on. I cashed out yesterday. At 9:30 a.m. yesterday, I got the email saying that they were processing my request for $25 PayPal. I had 47 points left after that.

Right now I have 300.

Considering that I've been lucky to get 80 per day since the previous upgrade, something is going on.
Marilyn M. Nov 7, 2009, 5:46pm EST
I do know that Fancy was busy viewing my stuff too.
Kay M. Nov 7, 2009, 6:43pm EST
My points have been sluggish all week. Maybe your's just got caught up and there's hope for the rest of us.
Nurse Nancy S. Nov 7, 2009, 7:32pm EST
Mine are on a slow, but steady increase...no significant jump. Bummer! Hope yours are legit!
Pam H. Nov 7, 2009, 7:50pm EST
That happened to me once, I emailed them and asked them why? They said the points just finally caught up and it was nothing to worry about. Don't worry and enjoy the rush of points.
Kimber L. Nov 7, 2009, 9:35pm EST
Mine have jumped recently too! I have been viewing and commenting and conversing alot and posting more frequently too and one of my posts had a lot of views - I didn't know if it had something to do with it or not.
Suzanne W. Nov 8, 2009, 11:12am EST
Maybe now that the weather is cooler in many parts of the US more people are on her racking up points reading posts? We can dream anyway!
Lee P. Nov 8, 2009, 5:35pm EST
Woo Hoo. This is a good thing. Wish it would happen to me too. Woo Hoo to you.
Elaine B. Nov 8, 2009, 8:04pm EST
I wish my points would jump a little. But no it hasn't happen to me. Maybe you should write to gather about this. I can understand your concern.
Kelly M. Nov 9, 2009, 12:43am EST
Sometimes the points seem to move really slow and then all of a sudden you get a big jump.
Christine Z. Nov 10, 2009, 10:44am EST
Congrats! LOL If you are concerned - is there someone you can contact?
Love from Darlene! Nov 10, 2009, 3:52pm EST
My points are growing, but no way near that many points in a day. Congratulations!
Laura C. Nov 10, 2009, 3:56pm EST
mine either! mine are more like 25 a day or so...trying for more!
dreama e. Nov 14, 2009, 10:40pm EST
