[quote name='Snake2715']sheesh I am already doing this, wish I would have had those offers.
My reasoning is that this is more than 1 minute. Even for me at a desk 5-6 of 7 days a week with the net at my fingertips its more than 1 minute. you have to log into accounts, check pages, etc. Those that are not on the net are either doing it at some random point in the day or starting their day off with turning on the computer, etc.
Free points is free points and as you said its close to $200 a year in points.. but 3minutes x 365 days is 1095 minutes /60 minutes = 18.25 hours a year. I am sure most people could make more than $200 in sony points in 18 hours. Thats all. Could they do it in 3 minute intervals, probably not.
I have this card as well, we have had it since 2002. I use credit cards a lot and pay them back down. I mean a lot. Probably in the tune of $2000-$4000 a month. This has become my primary card. I guess my point was its just not realistic to expect to do this daily. Maybe I am not as committed, as I used to when the other thread was going, but have since not made the time. Its not an argument from me, just something I took 10 seconds to calculate out.
On the "10 Below" thing. I looked back and do not have the email. So I checked my breifcase and still have the copy of the claim form I mailed in (yeah for not cleaning that section out).
There was an email to go with it. If I recall it was basically playing ioff of the colder months as in temperature. They called it the "10 Below".
The link it showed gives a 404:
www.sony.com/sonycard/10below
On the claim form this is what it reads:
Upon Sony Rewards' verification of your claim information, Sony Rewards will procure your requested product and charge you as follows: after deducting 10% from your submitted price, Sonry rewards will apply/redeem your available Sony Rewards points towards the purchase of the product (each Sony Rewards point has a value of 1 cent); if you do not have a sufficient number of points to cover the discounted purchase price, Sony Rewards will charge you Sony Card Visa credit card for the balance of the price.
From that point it asks basic name, billing, ship to address, contact, email, SS# (last 4), card exp date, CVV, Model Descriptio/UPC, Price, retailer.
They also wanted you to submit something showing that price...
As I mentioned since I didnt obviosuly read the word procure and notice they were asking for a shipping address. I actually bought the item at retail and submitted my receipt as proof of price. That did work and they beat the price by 10% took it in reward points and sent it out.
I googled "10 Below" offer and brought this up:
http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache...rd/+"10+below"+offer&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us[/QUOTE]
Thanks for that info. Any idea if we could still get them to do that 10 Below thing?
Also, since you are talking about doing the free points and the time it takes to do it. I just want to say I do get the free points every Mon-Fri morning. My routine is to wake up, get dressed, get some breakfast and coffee, and then I sit at my computer while eating. I have websites and my bank accounts that I check every day at this time so I made it my routine to also answer the questions to get the free points. It literally takes one minute to answer all 3 (sometimes 4 if they have the flashback question) and get the points.
I have LastPass in Google Chrome so I am automatically signed into whatever website I visit. I have the sony points answers forum bookmarked. So I click that bookmark, it brings me right to the current day's answers. I click the 3 (or 4) links, 4 new tabs pop up, I answer each question, and BAM I'm done! So you say it takes 18 hours a year...I say it only takes 4 hours a year. So let's see...4 hours to get $200...$50/hour. Not bad! Wish I made that much at my current job.
So for me, it takes literally one minute or less each day as part of my routine to get 1000 free points a month. So why not I ask.
