Netwinner... to cash out, or wait?

I just hit 25,000 points this morning (again), and now I've got a quandry... should I cash out now for a gift card, or let it build up a bit. My thoughts are to get enough points built up between now and Christmas, so that I can use it on the kids CHristmas presents this year.

Up until now, I've cashed in for $325 in gift cards, with no cash prizes. This would make $350. I've received all but my last two (which are NOT over due yet), so $275. Anyway, my point being, I know I'll get the cards, and that the site isn't about to shut down or anything, so I'm not worried about losing the points if I sit and wait.

I'm just not sure what to do with the points yet. Hmm... My cards I am waiting on are both to Victoria's Secret (hello new bra!). With $50, I get a new bra, and maybe a matching set of panties. With $75, I get a new bra, and several new panties, or a new nighty. Or, maybe order from the cataloug or online for some clothes. Hmmm... Pondersome, pondersome!

I would save the points... That is a good idea!
Good morning, Brooke ;)

I like to cash in, just in case the rules change
That's a good point, Patrice

I wish I had your problem. That's a lot of work to get so many points.

I would hold on to them for a little while longer and then cash them in. I'm going to hold all my points I get till October 1st and then cash in what I can in hopes that i'll get them buy Christmas.

Good Golly Heather! You are a lucky one. I am still hovering around the 10,000 mark. It seems that I get more 10 point winnings with an occasional 25 here and there.

I just broke over 14,000 yesterday and finally got two referrals. YAY points! I would cash them in, just because you get the cards in your hands it doesn't mean you have to USE them.
I would say get a $25 Target card and put it away in a drawer or in your wallet, you can save it to buy toys, use it for back to school, or in case of OMG I NEED TOILET PAPER emergency!

Wait for the cruise lady, go for it!

spend it! spend it!

Hard choice, I'd probably save it for a little while longer
Debra D. Jul 21, 2007, 10:50pm EDT
I've got that choice to make too
Nan G. Jul 22, 2007, 1:05am EDT
A good idea to keep them for Christmas. I don't think I will ever have that many.

Wow - I have never done well on Netwinner - you're the queen, Heather!!!

Diane: I noticed that you asked a points question on another article and I sent you a connection request with a link to my answer. I hope it helps and welcome to Gather!

I have a hard time getting points too. I say save for the 75 dollar one and get more panties;)
