I have been checking about every 15 minutes all day, and NEVER saw anything beyond "prize redemption coming soon." If I hadn't checked again here (the last time I refreshed CAG was around 3:30pm EST) I never would have known there was a redemption today. It still looks like it has all week.
I'm not trying to sound like sour grapes (especially since I have never even seen a redemption page that wasn't emptied within minutes, if I saw it at all), but I don't really see myself continuing or even trying to invite anyone, even though this is supposedly still beta. Sure, just logging in and doing dailies is a few minutes a day, but there are easier sites out there.
So, congrats to those that were able to get something (and I do mean that sincerely). I have better things to do than to spend a week checking over and over.

I know you are a LAB person, but c'mon dude. You can't sit here and tell me that the website is operating in the best way possible. There must be better ways of securing a prize.
I say this not because I am bitter or anything like that, since I was fortunate to get a Wii and $25 paypal, but because it is a legitimate problem.
Also, I never heard of PTZ being reset every year... I thought it was that your Z lister status only lasted a year. I don't see why they think PTZ resetting is a good idea, seeing as how someone could potentially stock up points for a full year for a big prize, but end up empty handed since he might get beat out by others on redemption day.

I'm not saying it's operating the best way possible, but they keep improving each month. You have to also take into account that each month, more and more people join. They have almost 144,000 fans on facebook alone... That means that at least 100,000 of those people are going for prizes each month, maybe more. Even if they had a large supply of everything, there's no way everybody would get a prize. It's impossible, and even if they have deals with Apple and Microsoft and Sony to get prizes for free, there's no way any company would be willing to give up that many items. Who knows how much in pay Paypal gifts, as well...
It's a small company that is doing it's best to satisfy at least 144,000 people, not counting every person who uses Lockerz and doesn't use facebook...
I can understand people being angry, I honestly can, but you can answer surveys for three hours a day for five days a week and get enough to go buy a game, or you can play games for four hours a day for five days a week and get a game from Club Bing, or you can invite people, answer dailies, and log in to try and get stuff from Lockerz. It's a lot less concrete at this moment, but I'd rather spend a few minutes a day and then check the site every few minutes when I'm on the computer, waiting for redemption.
Ohh, and you can secure a prize if you have a large supply of ptz...

It's just when the stuff drops, and it's pretty expensive. They want to make it that somebody who has stuck with them and invited many people to have a chance at getting an item. If somebody is guaranteeing themselves an item and making one less up for grabs, they want it to be worth while.

You shouldn't give up on it. This redemption ran smoothly (no problems during redemption) so that means they won't have to spend time fixing the Ptz Place, so Feb.'s redemption won't have to be held on the last (or close to the last) date of the month.

Heh, I like being able to officially represent a website that I've enjoyed since I joined. There have been months where I haven't been lucky enough to get anything, but I just figured it saves me my PTZ for next time. I understand you haven't had any luck with the website, but it's hard to hold it against Lockerz. They put up enough prizes that they get, they work on the website to make it better (which you cannot deny, it is smoother now since they updated it in December) and worked to try and win over the doubters. It's unfortunate that you haven't gotten anything, but there's no need for people to call it a scam or say that they're screwing over people...

[/QUOTE]
I'm not calling it a scam, as I can see many can attest that it is not, but giving up on Lockerz if you can't be at your machine every waking moment during the vague time window for redemption seems fair, if you ask me.
I guess I'm not sure what "no problems during redemption" actually means. For those that got through? Fair enough. I'm sure many others would disagree. (Granted, I understand it's just not feasable for everyone to get something, but it seems like most never even had a chance.)
Like I said, I was checking every 15 minutes or so. (Sometimes every 10, upwards of 20 minutes.) This is all I ever saw:
In fact, that is all I still see.
I never saw something saying anything beyond that; there was nothing to show that all the prizes have been claimed, or even that the redemption was over until next month, let alone that the redemption was open and then closed. It wasn't until I thought, "I wonder what's going on on CAG?" that I even found out. As far as I could tell: nothing happened.
Vulgarism, I'm really not pissed at Lockerz or even lashing out, but since you're somewhat of an unofficial official spokesman (I guess) and are trying to keep people around on the site, I figured I'd state a few things. Maybe the powers that be might hear some of this.
1: I understand what Lockerz is trying to do; they're building their website up, and it is a business. They're trying to get as many people going to their site and keep them coming back, hence the prizes. But they can't keep jerking chains like this. If there is a reason to visit the site beyond the redemption, I have yet to see it. A few videos here and there that aren't even that interesting don't cut it. If more interesting content appears, or the site develops a "real" voice, then I might consider continuing. Otherwise, those eyeballs that they are hoping will return, won't.
2: I don't know if they announced anything on Facebook about the redemption, but there was nothing on the front page. It seems most of the big announcements are done elsewhere; that is not acceptable. One should not have to go elsewhere for your announcements. The front page could have least said, "All right, gates are open now!"
3: As I was refering to above, communication is the key. There will be ill will generated from their users about this. See the screenshot above. I never even knew that the redemption was going on/ was over...until I went to another site. What prizes are available and how much are they? I sure as hell couldn't tell you, since I can't see that anywhere. But I can tell you what kind of dog Odyss is, since that is listed on the FAQ.
As I see it now, there just isn't a reason to continue - at least as far as I'm concerned. Is Lockerz an entertainment website? A social networking site? Shopping/ prizes? If they're trying to be all of these as they say, well, they're failing, in my eyes.
I hope Lockerz improves, and I wish them the best. Maybe once they grow a little bit, they'll be worth visiting. Personally, I feel I have wasted enough months on this.

So much rage....., why. Why...WHY?!? I'm just playing MHFU to try and wait for the PTZ place to open, and I missed the past two PTZ place redemptions as well... There should be another redemption period tonight...

Well they ARE going to add more ways to get points...
Good thing that they aren't raising the ptz cost of the prizes for the next redemption
I had the chance to go for the 25 dollars paypal, but i decided o save up my points
There is always next time

Plume, I'm glad that you're being civilized, as on Facebook, it's far less than that. I'll try to answer some of the things you brought up:
I missed the redemption to the point of nothing being available except for backgrounds and and Paypal. I can understand people being upset that they wouldn't announce when they were going to put prizes up, but they do want to make it where there's a chance for those people who are able to wait (for massive amounts of hours) to get a one up on others. I hated when people would say on Facebook "We have lives, you can't do this to us, I have a date/a party/whatever to go to!" It's a piece of electronic equipment or a video game. I can see if things weren't as tight for many of us, we wouldn't be so greedy about it, but people want their free stuff. People also have jobs and other things to take care of, but that's where you decide if a $60 game is worth it...
Here's the main goal of Lockerz when they open: To offer people a place where their favorite celebrities have videos and use, get games and other things they want, and enjoy the atmosphere. Now, anybody can argue about the videos they post, but there's not many other websites out there really where two of the staff put up videos related to the site and such. You either like em or hate em, as simple as that.
There's very few people out there who can tell you what Lockerz fully has in store when they launch, and those people aren't up for spoiling it. Things that Lockerz has said before on Facebook and the hallway are:
- Videos and games you can earn PTZ for watching and playing
- A possible store, where you can buy items and earn PTZ for doing so (Kathy used to be a higher-up at Amazon, so could it be a trendy Amazon alternative?)
Other than that, who knows. Launch will make or break Lockerz, but they want to keep the prizes up 24/7, which raising the value will help with.
With more ways to earn PTZ, even if a game ends up being 600 PTZ, it won't be impossible to get. If you're a Z-Lister, you get 8 PTZ already, and if the games and videos give you even 2 PTZ a day, you're making 10 ptz a day... Sure, 60 days is quite a while to dedicate to a website, but I'm saying at the minimum. Now, all these are speculation on my part, but still, I'm trying to help people see Lockerz isn't a website that wants people to hate them. Are they trying to over take Facebook and make it a social platform? Who knows. Facebook doesn't offer free items, though...
I can only estimate how much Lockerz has to spend on shipping and other things, but they're trying to satisfy everybody while not leaving out anybody. Opening to the world has really complicated things, but they wanted to spread the idea to everybody.
Like I said, launch will make or break the website, and it didn't launch in October for good reason... They want to keep testing the waters and see what ends up turning the site into something on everybody's lips.

I redeemed the $25 PayPal since I didn't want to leave empty handed. The thing is I don't have a PP account so I use my brothers. So is it possible to send the PP amount to my brother's account rather than the email address I used to register with Lockerz?
Thanks, I am trying to be civil. As I said, I bear no ill will, nor am I angry or upset. Mostly, I just wanted to voice perceptions. I know many are mad, and it is easy to dismiss "internet ravings."
You do bring up a point I mentioned already: Facebook. Lockerz, it seems, is stating things on FB that they should state on their own page. (Full disclosure: I have never been to their FB, so I am going by what you and others have said.) If I want to know something about a company, I go to their website first, and then others; with Lockerz, it seems that you have to go to FB (or CAG) and then to Lockerz to get information. An ideal thing would be to have their own forums on their site.
The things I mentioned about what Lockerz is (social networking, shopping, etc) was taken right from their own FAQ. I think they have potential, hence why I have been involved. And I know it is a lot of work, so I have remained patient. I am a very patient person, so I know when I get to the "breaking point" where I decide it isn't worth my time, I know many have hit that long before.
But, like I said, I'm interested in the content they may put up. Comic strips? Flash games? There's a lot of potential. Everyone has different tastes, so the more variety, the better. (Personally, I've never bought into the celebrity thing, as these days that seems to comes down to any d-bag that can get his or her face in front of the camera for 15 minutes.)
I do think that they blew it (again) with the points redemption. (Sorry, I just can't bring myself to say PTZ.) Since that is one of the main things about the site (earn points by doing things that you can redeem), it's almost, well, shady, the way the redemption window was done...for lack of a better word. A lot of people are going to be upset because they feel that they were strung along for a week; I don't blame them for that in the least. I spent a lot of time checking the site this week many, many times a day. I won't make that mistake again.
Let me give this analogy: imagine you're at a big carnival (or Chuck E Cheese) and you play their little games to get prize tokens. You've accumilated a lot of tokens and then the manager tells you that the gift stand that you can redeem them will be open for a few minutes at some point in the day at some random location. After hours of waiting and wandering, you find out that it already opened and closed at the other side of the location. The manager says you can just try again tomorrow. How would you feel?
Well, if the carnival is worth it, and you like playing the games and the tokens are just icing, then you probably wouldn't mind coming back the next day. But if the games are so-so, you would probably start to wonder if it was worth your time, hoping you'd be at the right spot when the gift stand magically appears.
As it stands, Lockerz focus is to give points to do their "things" that you can redeem (and not having neat stuff that happens to earn points - but taste is subjective). Many people are going to decide to go to a different carnival, myself included.
Many people didn't even get the background option like you did. I still have no idea what was offered or what the costs are, since they took down the ability to see that last month.
Again, I'm just trying to give a rational voice to those that are upset and I'm not trying to slam Lockerz. I do see a big need for improvement. If things like this keep happening, the word of mouth backlash will be felt; I know Lockerz doesn't want that.
However, I do not feel comfortable inviting others to join. I feel my word stands and has honor (I'm old-fashioned), and if I invite someone, then I am implying that I stand behind the product and recommend it. That is just not the case here.

Again, I'm just trying to give a rational voice to those that are upset and I'm not trying to slam Lockerz. I do see a big need for improvement. If things like this keep happening, the word of mouth backlash will be felt; I know Lockerz doesn't want that.
However, I do not feel comfortable inviting others to join. I feel my word stands and has honor (I'm old-fashioned), and if I invite someone, then I am implying that I stand behind the product and recommend it. That is just not the case here.
[quote name='PlumeNoir']Thanks, I am trying to be civil. As I said, I bear no ill will, nor am I angry or upset. Mostly, I just wanted to voice perceptions. I know many are mad, and it is easy to dismiss "internet ravings."
You do bring up a point I mentioned already: Facebook. Lockerz, it seems, is stating things on FB that they should state on their own page. (Full disclosure: I have never been to their FB, so I am going by what you and others have said.) If I want to know something about a company, I go to their website first, and then others; with Lockerz, it seems that you have to go to FB (or CAG) and then to Lockerz to get information. An ideal thing would be to have their own forums on their site.
The things I mentioned about what Lockerz is (social networking, shopping, etc) was taken right from their own FAQ. I think they have potential, hence why I have been involved. And I know it is a lot of work, so I have remained patient. I am a very patient person, so I know when I get to the "breaking point" where I decide it isn't worth my time, I know many have hit that long before.
But, like I said, I'm interested in the content they may put up. Comic strips? Flash games? There's a lot of potential. Everyone has different tastes, so the more variety, the better. (Personally, I've never bought into the celebrity thing, as these days that seems to comes down to any d-bag that can get his or her face in front of the camera for 15 minutes.)
I do think that they blew it (again) with the points redemption. (Sorry, I just can't bring myself to say PTZ.) Since that is one of the main things about the site (earn points by doing things that you can redeem), it's almost, well, shady, the way the redemption window was done...for lack of a better word. A lot of people are going to be upset because they feel that they were strung along for a week; I don't blame them for that in the least. I spent a lot of time checking the site this week many, many times a day. I won't make that mistake again.
Let me give this analogy: imagine you're at a big carnival (or Chuck E Cheese) and you play their little games to get prize tokens. You've accumilated a lot of tokens and then the manager tells you that the gift stand that you can redeem them will be open for a few minutes at some point in the day at some random location. After hours of waiting and wandering, you find out that it already opened and closed at the other side of the location. The manager says you can just try again tomorrow. How would you feel?
Well, if the carnival is worth it, and you like playing the games and the tokens are just icing, then you probably wouldn't mind coming back the next day. But if the games are so-so, you would probably start to wonder if it was worth your time, hoping you'd be at the right spot when the gift stand magically appears.

Well, I can start off by saying forums will be coming. That's one of the big parts of being a LAB member, we will be moderators on the forums. They do need to open it up sooner than later, but the scary part is how much spam and bad posts there will be... Regardless, that is what we signed up for, and it'll be our duty to keep it all clean and make sure people who want to get help and info get it.
Any recommendations for stuff that you feel interested on the site can be directed to Lockerz by E-mailing them, and you did start hitting on great things. User submitted games or videos that get the highest votes, that user gets extra PTZ (yeah, I know, points is much better) could be a great idea to get people involved as well. Even giving 1 pt to a person for voting on a video would get people involved, and rating 20 videos for 20 ptz would make people okay with games being 600 ptz...
I like your Carnival analogy, a lot. There is one difference, though, and that is that you're sitting on your butt waiting for redemption instead of going to the carnival, but that is beside the point. And, by the way, your point is valid. It's hard for people to be happy when they wait and wait and wait, and the prizes are right there, but you can't get them. The way I am seeing it, is like this... The more time they take, the more that companies see people are interested in Lockerz and want to get in on it. It would be a great way to get the company in the spotlight.
When I first joined Lockerz, games were 60 ptz each. I know before that, they were even less... It's a growing process, and Lockerz shot for the stars when they started off... They're trying to get there, but it's taking time and more patience than people have. Will it cut down on the users who create multiple accounts and try to scam their way into extra prizes? Hopefully. I just wish that people could try and take it slow and let Lockerz get to the point they're trying to get to. I think we ALL want a free site that offers what Lockerz is trying to give to us without the hassle of waiting and having prizes go out like that.

I can imagine that things will be hard for you, and you have my sympathies. That's why I have never taken a mod role on any site when I have been offered. And I know what a pain trying to fight duplicate/ multiple accounts can be. But other sites can do it fine, for the most part.
I see what you're saying about the "sitting on one's butt" in the carnival analogy, but I don't think it's too far off. The time one is waiting for the redemption and repeatedly checking the Lockerz site can be used visiting another site, going out with friends, etc. If anything, with the carnival, you're physically there and it's easier to stay where you're at than go somewhere else. If anything, that is where Lockerz is at a main disadvantage.
I hadn't thought about emailing them with any ideas, to be truthful, as I figured they had a vision they were working toward. I'll consider it.

Maybe I can actually get answers here.
I was accused of cheating in December and they said they would zero my account but not close it. At the end of December when they were adjusting PTZ, instead of zeroing my account they put back all my points that i used during the November redemption and then some (i went from 2XX to 12XX).
I have tried to contact them for the last month and i have not heard back from them. I dont want to be accused of cheating again, and lose the account altogether. Is there anyway someone can help me?

As I've said before, I'm happy to be in the position I am. When I like something, I'll do what I can to show others my point of view. It's harder to do with Lockerz, because nothing's concrete yet, which is why since it's still in it's "beta" stage, inviting people is now hard since just about everybody is on there, or has heard the horror stories.
You're right, too. At a carnival, you can spend time with friends, socializing, riding rides, where with Lockerz, you can sit here and hope... I was in the middle of a song when I realized that the redemption was going down. But, that's what happens, and I'm not gonna let it get to me.
As for E-mailing em, do it. There's no harm in giving some good ideas, and I really think that if Lockerz will work, they will listen to the users. Granted, 1/2 the users spout off expletives, 1/4 of the users are just gonna fade away, and the last 1/4 really want to make it work out. I really hope some people who have been upset with the past few redemptions just try giving them one last chance. The worst that happens, is they save up all their ptz until the site launches and forget about the redemptions, and then have a nice amount of PTZ saved up when the site officially opens.

At least I don't have to spend all day tomorrow refreshing. Missed it because I was at work, but I'll take the guaranteed money I earned over a microscopic chance at a Lockerz prize.

This is where I disagree with you. A few redemptions ago, I won a DSi, and got a receipt and forwarded the email, as I was instructed to. Now here is where the trouble begins, they say not to forward it twice, so I do it once and the Gmail history accounts for that. So I send them a nice, civil email. I get a nice pre-generated message. That really speaks volume about how much they cared about my problem. So, I respond and say "Hey, how about having the common decency to send me a personalized email that shows that you actually looked at my problem? I got you guys tons of members, and even vouched for you guys on the internet. Surely that is worth SOMETHING right?" I never got a response back. So I never got my DSi.
Whats your response to that? I am sure they trained you to spout out something that somehow puts me in the wrong "Oh help1, you probably cheated!" and puts lockerz in the right.
Also, as far as I know, they don't pay LAB members. And from what I have seen on facebook, some of them are completely clueless. I don't know why anyone would voluntarily choose to be a LAB member if there really is no pay. And don't say "oh, I like demonstrating my support for something I like" because we all know that is phony, unless you are some really young teenager. Honestly, if they aren't offering you guys any incentive for being a lockerZ promotion slave, then you really need to find a better way to utilize your free time.

I second that question. If I can't get anything I actually wanted from there, I damn well better be getting my 25 bucks.
Also, how long does anyone think it will take? Like, how long until that $25 is available for me to use.

Okay, look at it like this... There's 6,000,000+ members on Lockerz... Problems arise, and sometimes they aren't able to focus on one member out of the tons they have problems with. You said that you forwarded it once, and you never received anything after that? I would tell you to forward support all of your evidence, but it seems like you don't care anymore. I'm not saying you cheated, I'm not saying "It's your problem, oh well..." I don't want anybody to be upset over the problems a growing site has. Ebay still has many problems, too and people get upset over that as well, but that's mainly problems with users. It's a free DSi, I would have been upset as well, and I would have done whatever it took to get things straightened out.
As for being a LAB member, no, I am not paid. I do enjoy the site. I have had luck with it, and want as many people to try and have good luck with it as well, but there's always gonna be people who aren't able to be satisfied. That's just how it is, unfortunately. I don't mind, while on CAG or Facebook, to see if anybody has a question and do what I can to answer it. It's not like I'm setting aside three or four hours a day to dedicate to Lockerz work. Being a LAB member is something I'm grateful for, because, if you're like me and enjoy something a lot, you want people to try and enjoy it as well. Honestly, if you aren't happy with the site, I can't change your mind. People haven't had luck with it from the beginning, but that's life.

They might not give it to everybody.

and in TOS it says they don't refund points once you redeem
[quote name='Vulgarism']Okay, look at it like this... There's 6,000,000+ members on Lockerz... Problems arise, and sometimes they aren't able to focus on one member out of the tons they have problems with. You said that you forwarded it once, and you never received anything after that? I would tell you to forward support all of your evidence, but it seems like you don't care anymore. I'm not saying you cheated, I'm not saying "It's your problem, oh well..." I don't want anybody to be upset over the problems a growing site has. Ebay still has many problems, too and people get upset over that as well, but that's mainly problems with users. It's a free DSi, I would have been upset as well, and I would have done whatever it took to get things straightened out.[/QUOTE]
Here is the thing. I re forwarded the gmail evidence to them, to show that I complied with what they said, and that is when the email responses stopped coming in. I could email them left and right, but if they don't respond, things aren't going to be fixed.

[quote name='equax']Well, look on the bright side, next month there will be another redemption...[/QUOTE]
A surprise one that will benefit a small fraction of members again.
I find it funny that they said "redemption went off without a hitch." Let's see, it was on a weekend afternoon, which meant the only ones that redeemed were bots or the very lucky ones. Hundreds of thousands of members got a prize? How many desktop wallpapers did they have?
By not raising prices, they keep it appealing to new members: recruit 20 for Z-List and that's 40 PTZ. With 4 points daily, that's 15 days to get enough for a game (not to mention the initial game-thing). They're not giving long-time members any incentive to stick around: prices are either too low (everyone going for them) or too high (benefitting bots/those with hundreds of referrals).

Nope, not yet! The paypal gifts will be sent out when they start shipping prizes. They have to get out the confirmation E-mails first, as well, which should be coming within the next few days.

Even though I've accumulated about 300 points and still have not redeemed a prize, there's no reason to be upset. I never spent a dime on this site, besides spending a few minutes browsing each day. Hopefully, I'll be able to get in on the redemption in February.
