What kind of people are running Locerz!

I sent an email over a week ago asking why there are hardly ever any prizes to purchase unless you are a z-lister and lucky enough to snag something when they get in new supply finally. This is the lame ass answer I get back and nothng mentioned about prizes!

We're still experiencing display errors with PTZ and friends counts. We're in
the process of updating our database and all affected accounts WILL be
adjusted. Remember, your PTZ and invited friends are safe in our database, and
we expect to have a fix for this display bug very soon. Also, members who
didn't receive their game PTZ will soon be refunded 25 PTZ, which is higher
than the average score. We truly appreciate your continued patience as we work
on making your Lockerz experience an amazing one!

Unless I steal your PTZ, then you won't get anything! Muahahahah!

Just kidding.

You actually sent them an email? It's lucky anyone gets anything at all since it's all for free.

lol. I guess they clicked the wrong auto reply.

They're saying there will be a general redemption sometime this month.

They should be wrapping up the Zlister prizes today. We'll see. I'm kinda skeptical.

I really doubt it. They've been claiming for a week that they've been sending out batches of emails, yet not a single person that ordered a decent prize seems to have actually gotten one. The 15th was supposed to be the "at the latest" date yet they appear to have put it all off until today. They're probably spending all their time trying to figure out their next lie.

Oh, I knew they'd wait until the last day to send those receipts, lol. They updated on Twitter and said they'll be sending them until midnight tonight. I knew they'd do that, lol.

I'm pretty chill about the whole thing, because it's free. All I did was answer a daily question. I'll be SUPER pleased if it works out, but not super surprised if it doesn't.

All the small things were sent out, I think. The Ipod skins and crap like that.

They update on twitter and facebook: http://twitter.com/lockerz

I agree. I don't understand why people would complain about these things. I don't see the point in this stuff, swag bucks, etc.

I think they don't want to admit that people were able to redeem prizes long after they were actually out of stock. Maybe they're scrambling to try and get enough prizes in stock to fill out all the orders, but if that were the case they probably would have just been honest about the whole thing.

What is wrong with just emailing and asking when we can expect things to purchase? It's not like I blasted them over it !!

I think it is a huge scam. They are quit willing to give out the small gifts and a few larger ones, but they aren't coming up with the big stuff.

I'm starting to think the same thing Kelly, That it's nothing but a scam. People say stuff is free and it is with us clicking but they must be somehow making money or they wouldn't be offering all these prizes for points.

I do wonder what they do w/ the info. Some of the dailies are random, but some I think can be sold for marketing purposes.

Why do you keep saying "purchase"? You are not purchasing anything.

Um.... you are purchasing items with points that you earn by visiting their page and answering the dailies

Did I say cash anywhere? No need to nitpick.

You don't need to use the word cash. To purchase is to acquire by use of money. You're redeeming.

Swagbucks actually pays off though. It takes awhile but when you redeem your bucks, you actually do get your shit. I got my amazon gift cards in 24 hours.

lockerz is run by a bunch of idiots who bit off more than they could chew. i predict that once they leave the beta stage and raise the prices on items, the site will die off in under a year.

theirs servers can't handle heavy traffic, they have no system in place to automatically detect cheaters, and they have to do all their screening by hand. if you have 10,000 prizes to give away, that is not the right way of dealing with it.

they hardly ever update their facebook to let the users know when they're experiencing problems, and most recently they had screwed up their zlister redemption.

From dictionary.com

pur⋅chase

[pur-chuh

s]

Show IPA verb, -chased, -chas⋅ing, noun-verb (used with object)

1.	to acquire by the payment of money or its equivalent;

��
points would be "or it's equivalent" but really silly to nitpick don't you think?
