If we do, it'll have to be over in the unendorsed section. We'll have to let Rebecca think it over, too, and discuss it with the mods.

We definately don't to bzz kits here, but I know rewards are a little different. I don't know -- we get so few campaigns up here (I blame Roger's ) that I've never considered getting a reward I didn't really want. In fact, after a couple of years with BzzAgent I've only gotten one reward.

BTW -- Welcome to all the guests! Glad to see so many of you stopped in for a visit!

If there's that much variety, we should all be able to get something we actually want, not just something because we wanted a prize.

BTW, meet me in the unendorsed section later mrschia, and I'll trade you a 6 week old kitten for that ipod.

Hey -- the calico kitten is mine. Hands off her Mrschia!

Holy Toledo Bat Man!!!
I almost missed the party by lolly~gagging around doing silly stuff like Dr's Appts and laundry!


*insert me dancing like James Brown here*

with the 100's of retailers it sure does sound like Gift Cards

Laundry? Doctor? How can that be as important as this thread?

I used to have a t-shirt that showed robin from the TV series and said Holy Shit, Batman!

And Rebecca, there were no calicos in the litter. Just two black kittens.

I thought there were 3 in the litter and one was calico. Maybe I'm confused. Did I mention it's still a holiday here? LOL!

So does this mean we have to be up at midnight Wednesday night???

I am so excited. Of course thursday my daughter has a very important Dr. appointment and can not be missed. Oh well hopefully there will be plenty of prizes to go around.

I know silly me....I've been living this long sans Dr what difference does another week or two make?
And laundry pphhhhfffftttt forget about it.
Squirt hubbie's shirt with a little Febreze and hang them suckers back up!


How many gold keys are you allowed to have???

OK I have to say something. Read the email it states very clearly you WONT be able to get the prizes on THURSDAY you just have to let them know what you would like to do with your points starting on THURSDAY. YOU wont be able to redeem your points for prizes until JUNE 9th .

they said just one for 200 points, but you can have as many as you can stack up in a year in the old system.....after a year they disappear. Who knows in the new system.

Mrschia, where are you at? If you're nearby, I'd be glad to give you a kitten. They're very tame as they've had two little girls attending to them daily. And they're used to the dog, too.

I wasn't sure from reading the e-mail, it sounds like maybe we just move our points to the new system on the 22nd, and then we can't redeem them until June 9th?
What do you think?

Yep...here it is again:

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

So STARTING June 9, you can redeem your points.

Hmmm, earlier Bee Log posts said we could redeem during shalulu

Joe C just posted a response!

Hi All,

I’ll try to answer a few of the questions:

Honey: can we see the prizes available before we decide if we want to buy a golden key?”
Answer: Yes.

Kcalcote: What time will the rewards be up on the 9th?
Answer: As early as our tech and teams can make sure everything works and looks great.

Chrissyjosh: sounds like there is going to be alot of prizes to choose from that dont dissapear right when they are posted in the rewards page?
Answer: Yes, only the Golden Keys are in limited supply.

Nicole: My point is that it would be great to clarify that Golden keys don’t unlock ALL of the doors to the beehive.
Answer: We are aware that not all campaigns are Golden Key “eligible.” We are working very hard to make it so Golden Keys unlock more campaigns.

Egnues: Will the rest of them be reviewed after the new system now?
Answer: Can’t promise they will ALL be reviewed, but we are trying very, very hard to get to them as fast as possible so there is no backlog when we move into the new BzzPerks system.

Scarlett: Dancing Snoopy style
Answer: I have no idea what that means.

Thanks for that post. That answered a lot of questions...Now all I have to do is try to clear my schedule for june 9th. thanks

tara wrote:"hundreds of rewards" they claim 400,000 agents.... I sure hope hundreds was a figure of speach

then:
the "(nearly) limitless" makes me a bit nervous too. I know they have said over and over that there will be enough top go around but I have a hard time believing that.

"Hundreds" refers to the variety of rewards options, "nearly limitless" refers to the supply of each of those options. Does that make sense? This was a good catch on your part, Tara. Thanks for pointing out the confusing language!

thebigscott wrote:Hmmm, earlier Bee Log posts said we could redeem during shalulu

Good point...but maybe that was a figure of speech too. Because we are basicly 'redeeming' them to the transition place, just not cashing them in yet for the rewards. I'm guessing here....

Hi Joe! Thanks for having a very informative BeeLog update. And thanks for dropping by the party!
