Anybody use it? How exactly does it work? I know I can do a bunch of stuff for points, but more specifically how does redemption work.

I saw that some video game systems are cheaper once you have more points. Do they eventually get to a point where they're free?



Note: This is not a way for me to get referrals. Hope THIS isn't against the rules

I'm pretty curious too, I've seen Lockerz around but never really figured it out. How does this points crap work?

i had an account on that site since it was in its beta phase. I got bored with it quickly.

Lockerz seems like a good idea, but is utter crap in reality.
You can easily gain points, but redeeming them is impossible. All the products are gone in <5 seconds.

EDIT: Seems like the way it worked has changed since I last used it. IDK now.

It seems as though now instead of a redemption (Like they had before), they have a 'shop'.


You earn points, and the price of the product goes down from retail slowly?

Idk, I have a PS3 down to $187, which isn't even that great of a deal..

They still have redemptions... a few months ago I had 2000 old points from 2 years ago so I got lucky and redeemed $25 paypal. Since then I have never gone back to that site.

Well, sort of, if I end up posting pictures it's usually through my Twitter account anyway.

Oh okay, I get it.




By the way, I figured out that they have a maximum amount of discount you receive in the shop. For most things, it's either 25% or 40%. :(. I was kind of hoping to get some stuff free from watching all videos and stuff :p.
