nope

I can't believe some of you are getting lots of good stuff, I've barely gotten 400 msp 1 time and am barely going to reach enough to get another 400 msp.

Haven't really been bothered since they lowered the ticket limit. That and there isn't really much of interest on there at the moment. Occasionally Ninja Gaiden 2 shows up, which I'd like to get, but I can't earn the points before its gone again and I hadn't been building points up to the point where it shows up. :/

If they had not accused me of cheating and stopped sending me prizes then I would still be doing this site.

got a shipping email for Scene It tonight, I'm done with this program now. They make it too time consuming to get anything and the prizes haven't been updated in MONTHS to even make me reconsider getting more points.

I haven't done this in years.
I still kick myself for not going more crazy back in June/July of 2007. They sent ALL prizes earned in that time period out eventually. I still got over 10 copies of Vista Ultimate and a zune, but I could have got much, much more. I stopped because I figured at that point they'd never send any of it out if everyone was as gung-ho as I was. They didn't either, but eventually they had that court case and just said it.

I need to get around 200 pts so I can pick out my last prize. But I can't even gather the motivation to do that. :p

EDIT: Never mind, they took the prize I wanted down within the last couple of days. -_-*

I still play occasionally (check out the prize mall once a week just to see what's up) but it takes SO LONG now to amass points in order to get a half way decent prize I'm unmotivated. Between cutting the daily ticket limit down to 500 pts., NEVER having double-point days anymore and only adding one new prize (a cheap crock-pot!) in months I'm pretty much done. I'm too afraid to try to earn a big ticket prize because the last big thing I ordered (camera) CB accused me of cheating and it was a nightmare trying to get my prize in the end.

Does anyone know what's the highest small-prize you can order without being called a cheater? Also, Caralisia, what did you have to do to get your camera in the end?

I sent a very nice email to CB telling them I did not cheat and to reopen my case and evaluate (which Club Bing will if you ask nicely). You need to add your original prize confirmation number for the prize in question or they won't take the case (hope you kept that). And no, CB will not look up prize numbers for you.

It takes about 2 months for CB to investigate and come to a decision. I was accused of cheating twice, went thru the process twice and wound up getting BOTH prizes in the end. The 2nd time I was accused of cheating (camera) I had 6-7 cheaper, smaller prizes in the pipeline that I didn't get but once my case was resolved not only did CB give me my camera they filled all my back-ordered prizes requests and reimbursed me points for prizes I'd ordered but were no longer in stock.

I think CB also gave me a few extra thousand points? as an "I'm sorry"? but I must say they did right by me in the end. It just took a long time. I do not know what the highest point prize you can order without being flagged a cheater (maybe prizes under 5,000 ?). The 1st prize I ordered (BBQ Set my husband wanted - 12,500 pts.) got me flagged. The camera was over 25,000 pts ?? Can't remember about the camera but that sounds about right.

5,000 could be close, in the past when I used club bing I ordered multiple ~4900 items, like forza 2 and an xbox 360 controller (before they double the price on the dumb thing) and I got them in roughly a month each without any hassle.

I've been playing again recently. Picked up a wireless headset a little while back that came with no problems.

Oh, and they've added 3-month subs to slacker radio and Hulu Plus. Reasonably priced too. (Hulu is 2.6k. Slacker is in the 1k and change.)

Potential new member here. Was just wondering is this worth a look, or just yet another waste of time? I'm enjoying/cursed with a bit of downtime right now(between classes). And looking to score some free stuff(I know, nothing's really free). Thank you for any assistance

Ugh. Going back to Club Bing feels like being re-assimilated by the Borg, but I have to admit that they've improved the selection a bit. Still hate the 500 ticket/day limit with a passion, though.

It's definitely worth a look if you have the time. Only real thing of note is that some of the top tier prizes may or may not be refurbs if that's an issue. (I know my 360 was, not positive on my first gen Zune.)

Also, if you do it through IE or Firefox with the bing bar installed, it'll rack up your searches in minutes.

Well i lost a couple thousand points because i didn't play for a while, most of the prizes i put in my list are no longer valid, and they either changed something on their end or at my work and i can't play anymore at work.

So no.

I will say I did get Scene It Box office Smash and the xbox battery charger for free. so when i did do it, it was worth it.

They accused me of cheating and refused to send me prizes. Has anyone that had that happen tried using their account again or opening a new one?

still want that zune and I'm gonna try for the hulu if they send me that I will go for the zune

Just got this e-mail.
