New BL Entry -- BLOG PARTY!!!

I am super stocked May 22nd! I was right all along and those of you that are busy that day will have 18 other days to participate!!

You can transition them to a place where you can access a (nearly) limitless supply of stuff

I wonder why they're still being so secretive about exactly where this place is? Is it in the hive? Outside of the hive? The fact that they're still being so secretive about some of the biggest parts of the plan worries me. At least some of the smaller things like limited golden keys and that they did mean May/2008 sounds promising!

I'm going to merge the replies here with the blog party post in CC.

I don't think it is that they are being secretive still, just that the place is in the new system, so to name it now would not help us, as we can't see it yet.

I guess it's possible, but the way that Joe worded it made me think that the hive is stepping away from the rewards to some degree. If it was still in the hive, why would we have to tell them what to do with our points? When the current tier system came it they just rolled our points into it from the old system.

so when is the cut off for reports? Will they set a day that will be reviewed so points can be used by the 9th? and when they will switch over to the new system. I wanna know what the new system is, will there even be points? Are they going to just cut us off on the 9th.. the reports in limbo useless?
I'm greedy... I want more info, I keep looking for that email, I'm in the Northeast. Whoever gets it first should share, assuming it tells us anymore.

I would also like more information. Like are the prizes offered in the beginning going to be the only prizes offered throughout or are new prizes going to be offered throughout? That will be one of the things I would consider as to whether or not I want to buy a Golden Key. I have no experience with Golden Keys however, are they worth it?

I've never had a golden key offer so I can't say. It does talk about the keys being limited so maybe they're rethinking them a little too? Right now you get a key as soon as you make it to Tier 3 so I don't think they're limited right now.

Golden Keys are sometimes worth it, sometimes not. I've been offered oodles of campaigns no one wanted with a golden key. I've also turned down golden key offers only to have them show up as regular offers. But I also got some cool stuff using a golden key. And there's no way to tell what 200 points will buy in the new system. So who knows how much we'd be paying to get a key to get into a campaign for a product we may or may not like.

I can't even 'buy' a golden key as I don't have enough points. lol. Guess that's part of being a newbie. Maybe I'll have enough to buy a keychain Maybe if they get all the pending reports reviewed, I'll get a few more points by then.

As long as you don't have to get the troll doll...

Rebecca, did you send out Blog Party invites?

I sure did -- I was the #2 reply on the Blog. I still avoid posting there, but made an exception for the Blog Party link.
That's why there are so many guests online today I think.

Oops, I just realized you meant the PM's. No, I forgot to do that. It's a holiday here and my brain is on vacation!

I think it sounds like you use your points or you loose them not that they will be transferred to the new system but what does everyone else think?

here it is

Greetings BzzAgent lynn343,

You and your peers have asked for more, so get ready for more. We've made some tremendous improvements to your BzzAgent experience - specifically we're revamping our entire rewards and ranking and tiering platforms.

To make way for these improvements, we're getting rid of BzzPoints - and you MUST transition your BzzPoints or they will be gone forever! Transitioning them will give you access to immediate rewards from 100+ retailers and restaurants, so you don't want to miss this. Here are your options for action before June 9:

To keep your BzzPoints:

* Login between May 22 and June 8
* Tell us to transfer your points
* Starting June 9, redeem those points for rewards from 100+ retailers and restaurants

To decline your BzzPoints:

* Login before June 9 and tell us you want your points to expire (now why would you ever want that to happen?)
* If you don't tell us one way or the other, your points will automatically expire on June 9

As part of the transition, we're offering a fun bonus: a limited number of Golden Keys will be available for 200 BzzPoints (one per Agent, first come, first served).

To find out more and get a head start on the new rewards system, mark your calendar and login to BzzAgent.com on May 22.

Whatever you do, login before June 9. After that all BzzPoints will be erased from the system - and we want to make sure everyone who wants something gets something, so don't miss out!

See you soon!

Right! I'm so glad I was anxiously awaiting that.

So who's going to go first?

An e-mail i got!

Not hundreds of prizes! Hundreds of retailers!

No, there's new info. They say "100+ retailers and restaurants ". It's going to be a points system like a lot of the survey sites use, I'm sure. The transfer will probably be to some place like giftcertificates.com or something like that. I don't think I'm going to like it!!

Gift cards?

Hey now....I LOVE the bzz trolls......I will take any that you all don't want. They are a happy childhood memory!

Maybe these will be such great rewards we will have to start a trade thread. I know I have an ipod shuffle still new in the box I would love to trade, my DH bought me a big one so don't need this one.

It's certainly going to be interesting and I agree it sounds like its going to have to do with a place like giftcertificates.com but maybe not. Anyone think there might be prizes and not just gift certificates? Either would make me happy though.
