I think Superpoints suck!

I think Superpoints suck! They change the rules and the value of the points. It used to be that you got points for the people who sign up under you. Now, Superpoints changed that to up to 1000 points. It takes 680 points to get a paypal card which used to be 500 points.

They claim there are more opportunities to make points. Well that is if you want to spend your life spinning there dang wheel. I have had it with Superpoints. My time is a little more valuable than that.

Sites that offer points might take into consideration that their members are their customers, and for me, I quit!

I quit a while back when it became apparent it would take 5 years or so to reach checkout.

exactly!

I've never been there. Now I know I won't go.

It depends on how you look at it......actually, I've got NO referrals but yet I can use this program very well, to my benefit.....I'm getting ready to do a $100 cashout after just a bit, depending on whether I can make up my mind....on Paypal or Best Buy!!!
Okey, I do the "special offers." When I do them, I use my bank card, which gets me "free reward points," then I often do the donations to charities (hubby and I have been very blessed in our retirement so we love to help others).....not only do I get points for using our bank card, but I earn large amounts of points for my donations...plus, I print out the receipts and put them in my income tax folder, as they are all deductible at tax time!!!!! So, it's a "three way" win/win for me........with NO referrals!

But to spend money to make money is not making money.
Nora D. Jun 15, 2012, 3:09pm UTC
BUT.......I am also spending money to donate to charities to help others, as well......I guess "to each their own." I will probably continue with this program, even after I cash out today.

I see how you benefit Nora....and good for you!

I wasnt there for long... It took way to long to accumulate points... I thought Gather was bad but I think Superpoints is slower yet...
*Carol ~Bronx Southern Belle Y. Jun 15, 2012, 3:07pm UTC

very slow.

i have cashed out and am waiting to be able to again
*Carol ~Bronx Southern Belle Y. Jun 15, 2012, 3:27pm UTC
Good luck. I hope you do well.

I don't like the price increase, but it's still one of my favorite sites.

Thank you for sharing with Sadies Points
Tessa D. Jun 15, 2012, 2:30pm UTC
I've quit Superpoints because they now require you to do offers if you want to cash out. Offers are always a losing proposition.
*Carol ~Bronx Southern Belle Y. Jun 15, 2012, 3:26pm UTC
woof

Tessa, I just cashed out for a $10 paypal payment again and I've never done any offers. I have no referrals either. I got $25 by paypal in January. That's more money than I make here on Gather.
Marsha C. Jun 16, 2012, 12:45pm UTC
This is the first I am hearing that you have to complete offers in order to be able to cash out. In some ways it would make sense, since most people, including myself only spin the lucky button and nothing else.
On occasion I see if there is a video to watch...and I used to go through the offer wall looking for the easy things like just liking a facebook page or watching a video.

Taking away things is never a Good Sign that they will keep people coming back.
Karen E. Jun 15, 2012, 4:34pm UTC
Too bad!
Larry H. Jun 15, 2012, 5:47pm UTC
ME TOO, NEVER GOT MANY POINTS.
Janet "Jax" B. Jun 16, 2012, 1:12am UTC
I just don't get the points. I've spun the wheel 39 times today and have NO points so far. I did get the 2 from my email. I will probably cash out and be done.
Marsha C. Jun 16, 2012, 12:45pm UTC
I don't go in daily anymore like I used to.
Jennifer Neff Jun 17, 2012, 11:48pm UTC
I've said it before I'll say it again. They DO suck! And for the record they can keep their dang $10. I'll never get that many points and that's WITH a 500 point signup bonus. Not worth the effort. I make 100X as much with 100x LESS effort on Swagbucks and even here on Gather.

I cashed out once with Superpoints and thought I could do it again and there's no way. It takes too long to get 1000 points to cash out. I have no referrals or anything. The watch videos don't work for me. So I give up on superpoints.
