-= Lockerz Prizes =- What Are You Getting? *No Referrals Allowed*

ahhh man fuck you lockerz I hope your HQ burns down.
I swear right when they went live I refreshed and logged in, everything was out of fucking stock! I dont even think they did restock, lying bastards.

and I clicked redeem on the $25 paypal like 50 times and after I fill out my info it would always say error.

someone should hack into there site and just destroy it. I wish that would happen. ok I really just want to quite lockerz for ever. selling my account for $5 amazon, it has over 300 ptz in it.

anyway did anyone here get anything?


edit: haha I like the censors on this site, iz funny
 
The general redemption is now over. Thanks for your participation. If you redeemed, congratulations. If you didn't get a chance to redeem, please remember that we are constantly testing new ways to earn and use PTZ, and that PTZ are good for a year. Have a great weekend!


I was sitting there refreshing and never saw a chance to log in to even try to get a prize.
 
[quote name='igotnodough']i am VERY close to selling my account on ebay[/QUOTE]

same but I wanna sell mine for amazon money. how much are you selling yours for? and how many ptz
 
[quote name='TigerEye']same but I wanna sell mine for amazon money. how much are you selling yours for? and how many ptz[/QUOTE]


Both accounts would be banned and most people know this, hence nobody will buy your account. It's fun listening to you bitch, though.
 
damn I was busy checking out other sites (didn't even order anything) when the redemption went live. I couldn't log in at all.

and when it's all done I'm finally able to log in. also find out that ptz are only good for a year (wtf). Lockerz really needs to have separate prize sections for other countries (fucking Brazil, I know there's a shit load of hackers there).
 
[quote name='Shuino']For programing... wut?

You know that's a Mac right.....[/QUOTE]

yeah but with a macbook you could use all three mainstream OS enviornments Windows XP/Vista , Linux , Mac OSX on it natively so you could test compatibility for porting over and making programs
that's the only reason I could see any use in one
 
Lol Ptz good for a year. WELL Lockerz, what an ingenious way to piss people off. Most Impressive. So uhh yeah, Lockerz, what else will you come up with?

I predict Lockerz will do this: "Remember everyone, you only get 20 seconds to browse the Redemption page, during a Redemption. And you can only browse it ONCE! So, you only get one chance to redeem something. Have a good redemption!"
 
[quote name='Oktoberfest']I'll take your account :)[/QUOTE]


I'll trade you for a kevin smith signed buddy christ statue lol j/k

I'm not really interested in getting rid of account I'm just a bit peeved at how fast the stuff disappeared on the general redemption. it seemed like less than 30 seconds and everything was gone.
 
They definitely need to re-think (once again) how they do redemptions. Regional redemption periods would definitely be a plus. Signed up for 2 times during the Appreciation Redemption (no dice). Got credited 100 points (which was nice of them to do).

I'm not complaining (it's a free site...thank god) and they aren't asking you to take 50 surveys a month, but "Time is Money". I could be doing more productive things than refreshing my page every 3 minutes for an hour or two.

For me, the smart thing to do now is to just forget about monthly redemptions and rack up as many points as I can until they find a better solution. By that time, I should have enough to guarantee a prize and grab a macbook from them :)
 
From the looks of it, was the general redemption a hoax? It seems like nobody redeemed a prize on CAG. To bad, I was grocery shopping. :)
 
I don't think it was a hoax, but it can't be. Since so many people are trying to access it at once, it just... doesn't work. The Chosen Ones get in and get what they want, they leave happily. They really should have a forum, where people can discuss Lockerz, 1/2000 people are actually happy with Lockerz. That's a problem. If Lockerz would listen to the majority (Which are the unhappy people), Lockerz could fix its issues.
 
[quote name='Shuino']You should prob. enter that phone number then....[/QUOTE]

Yeah I should've been more creative instead of sticking to 10-digit numbers.

It's not an official forum but its the most active one i could find.
 
[quote name='PlumeNoir']

Not bad if the sign-up gave you a discount, but I will say this right now, here are my two predictions:

1. There will be a lot of people that signed up complaining that they missed the MAR because of the timing (such as being away from the computer) or it be the usual "Keep hitting F5 on the main page and try to get lucky with no idea what hour the redemption will even be." Bonus complaints for having spent points on nothing.

2. The general redemption for everyone will be even less stocked (because of the MAR waves), thus leading to people being even madder if they're lucky enough to hit the redemption time window and there are only wallpapers left. (Seriously, wallpapers cost PTZ? Horid wallpapers, at that...)

Well, the next week and a half (including the general open redemption) are going to be quite amusing for me...[/QUOTE]

I love being right, more or less. (Although, it was pretty easy to predict, honestly.) It seems like things went even faster this time, judging by what everyone said, there was a problem with the MAR and wasted points.

Yeah, I'm just being snarky; hope I'm not rubbing salt on anyone's wounds. Sorry, folks.

But, mostly, I knew this would be fun to watch, and it was.

Even I'm still logging in and entering my points every day. It takes a minute and maybe I'll be around to redeem next time. Probably not, but it's fun to see everything go down.
 
[quote name='Vulgarism']Both accounts would be banned and most people know this, hence nobody will buy your account. It's fun listening to you bitch, though.[/QUOTE]


wow, jeeze were did that come from? was I even talking to you? calm down vaginasim. I sense someone is mad that they couldent redeem anything today. would both accounts be banned? thanks for asking thats a great question.

well ok I dont see how they would even find out. I dont have any forms filled out in my account, no address, state, nothing. just the name. and even if I did you can change it, what if someone moved and really did need to change the address? yeah so nothing wrong with that.

If I sell mine I would give my password and email so the buyer can log in then they can change whatever they want to whatever.

so yeah I if you know how they would find out please explain, because I cant, because they cant. Also back on topic, people that are saying PTZ expire in a year, that is true, but they dont expire in one year exactly, they expire in a year from the time you signed up, so lets say you signed up Oct 21 in 2009, then that means your ptz will expire on Oct21, 2010.
 
[quote name='Vulgarism']Both accounts would be banned and most people know this, hence nobody will buy your account. It's fun listening to you bitch, though.[/QUOTE]

I'm sorry dude, but you are wrong. I have seen account sold with no problems first hand, and if they even say anything, you could say "I moved." Big deal.
 
Hilarious that I was (and still am) apparently banned from the redemption site since shortly before it went live. Every few minutes I would refresh to make sure I didn't miss anything. Bam, can't connect to that site anymore.

I know I wasn't refreshing too often, so how long is this supposed to last? Emailing support gets me a generic automated response, don't expect an answer there.

You won't get an answer anywhere. LAB members pretend to have answers and Lockerz clearly doesn't have the man power to address the myriad of issues that plague their members.

:roll: Why do you still frequent this thread and Lockerz, then, if you're dead set on everything relating to Lockerz being wrong and useless? It's like this is all I see:


Redemption today! It's gonna suck!

Redemption happened! fuck LOCKERZ! It's a scam!

Lockerz fucking sucks.

*three weeks later*

Redemption soon! Nobody's gonna get shit!

Redemption happened! fuck LOCKERZ! I'm never using the site again!



We get it, I can't help you, Lockerz is crap, awesome. You've shown us your angst and hate. :applause:


I'm pretty much ready to accept whatever happens so I can just let loose. I've never seen so many people bitch about one thing so much. They say they have 6,000,000 members worldwide, which would include bots and multiple accounts, so let's say they have around 300,000 active members... Let's just say that... How the fuck are they supposed to get a site stable and running in one month for all 300,000+ members? Let alone four months... Please, tell me, or GTFO.

Calm down buddy. I know you are a LAB person and for some reason think that Lockerz gives a shit about you, but there is no way to work around the fact that Lockerz is trying to accomplish too much with too little. They have over extended their resources, which is the worst thing you can do in a beta. As for the instability of the website, its easy to say "C'mon guys, they are new to this, give them some time" but the site has been like this since August. Have they made some improvements? In terms of the website itself, all that has really been added is Play and videos of their responses to dailies. Awesome. The fact of the matter is that they shouldn't have ever opened passed the U.S. They clearly weren't and aren't (and at this rate won't be) ready.

I know, I know, you are trained to say "But it isn't all about the prizes, the website itself is supposed to be enjoyable." But what the fuck am I supposed to do on the site? Answer the daily? 10 seconds. Okay! Watch videos? They have a selection of about 30 videos, all of which can be viewed on YouTube, which is more entertaining because then I can interact with fellow members in the user comments section.

And I love how you say 3 weeks later.

Look at the history of this thread. It has been like that for 7 months. You're telling me they couldn't think of any better way to give members what they want? And don't tell me that their idea of having to spend 1200 ptz for a 100 ptz item was ingenious, because that is just retarded.

Now the only argument you have left is "Hey, all you do is complain and don't offer any solutions." But I have. And so have many other users. But Lockerz "claims" they read our suggestions, but all we get are deleted FB messages and computer generated "user support" messages. Isn't that the exact opposite of how a beta should work? A beta is supposed to gauge how people are liking the website, and what could be improved, but they refuse to listen. Do I blame them? Yes. They brought this upon themselves. They simply let too many members in too early. It is hard to sift through the thousands of whiny emails they get in their support email inbox to actually find the few emails that have good ideas in them. But they wouldn't have had this problem if they kept the membership number to a more manageable number and gradually increased membership number as they got more man power behind them.

So dude, just for a second take off your rose tinted LAB glasses, and see it how the thousands of other members see it. If you are incapable of seeing it how we see it, then quite honestly, they picked a bad group of LAB members. The LAB people should work as intermediates between the members and the lockerz administration, not against the members.

I'll hit this point by point:

First off, I've said it before and I'll say it again: THEY OPENED THE SITE WORLDWIDE TOO SOON. Are you able to see that I AGREE with you now? You seem to have missed me before, so hopefully bolding text will help you understand. But what can they do? Say "fuck you" to the majority of their members (since the U.S. members only make up a minority of the userbase) and shut them off from the site for three or four months? The only thing that will accomplish is thousands upon thousands of pissed off members doing what they can to ruin what Lockerz is working on at this point: to get the site stable and working before launch. Since August? Hah! The first two months I redeemed (August and September) I really didn't have any problems aside from the items being out of stock. The November redemption was when shit hit the fan, because that's when they opened it worldwide. Sure, they've added Play and responses to the dailies, but guess what! They've been doing what they can to get the redemption working. You have NEVER said anything about the stability of the redemption getting better (aside from Wave 3 and yesterday's redemption) which, if you deny, are clearly trying to find everything negative about the site. December redemption, there was the problem with the items saying they were in stock but redirected you to the ptzplace main site. January's redemption went smooth, except items were out quickly. That is what happens when you have such a huge user base and a small supply of items. They could (and eventually will) raise the prices, which will help out a small bit, but they want to try and make sure everything is well.

Look at it like this... They have a Wii for 250 ptz, a PSP for 200, and games for 100. Those all are within reach easily. There will be hundreds of thousands of people bombarding the site trying to get those items. This helps them figure out where the holes are that they need to fix and improve. Once they raise the prices, it will help combat such a large group of users trying to redeem, thus making the ptzplace 100% stable in the end, since they know how to handle such a massive load.

Trained? Trained? :applause: Good job on that. We haven't gotten anything about "responses we're supposed to give"... And you bitch about us LAB members not being able to help out, but how the fuck are we supposed to tell you about your prize getting canceled when we are pretty much Lockerz uses with a certain title? We have nothing except what we know and what we are told. We know nothing about the website? Well guess what! We can only give you the answers we get. You don't think we're doing a good enough job? Tough. We do what we can with the resources we have. If you want answers about why your prize got canceled, we can't tell you, because we aren't told why. You bitch about our competency with the website, but some of us have been LAB members for about a month and haven't really been told much. Sorry, but we're doing what we can.

I have read great ideas in this thread, but you're acting like they should just automatically respond to your E-mail with a "GREAT IDEA! Integrated NOW!" response. It took them about four months of working to improve the site while working on Play to launch it. Is it the results people want? No. But it's something. It shows they're working. I see people bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch about the time Lockerz is taking... Ebay started in 1995, and didn't really take off until almost three years later... Lockerz is taking a new approach to a site offering free prizes, and it's not good enough. Would you rather have them spend their time and effort on taking an idea of a live chat into their site, or spend it trying to get the redemption stable?

And for the people wondering, no. Lockerz doesn't have one or two of each item, but in ratio to their user base, it's tiny. If there's 1,000 people going for a PSP (just using a small example) and they only have 100 PSP packs, that means 900 people will be disappointed. It happens. Keep trying, or give up. If people honestly didn't care, they wouldn't waste hours on Lockerz during redemption. If your time is so valuable, go work for five hours and buy yourself a game.

You are really taking this personally, aren't you? Listen, I am not here to take a shit on you LAB members, because as far as I see it, Lockerz is just enlisting you guys to sort of take a little bit of the fall for them, which isn't fair, especially since I know they don't give you guys enough resources (information) to answer the thousands of questions that the whiny users of lockerz pound you guys with. Trust me, I understand.

As for them raising prices, it won't make much of a difference. So many people have failed to request any prizes, so their point amounts just keep growing, so 3 months ago they might have finally gotten to the 250 points needed for a Wii, but since they keep failing to get a prize (and thus keep getting more and more point) then if Lockerz made the wii 1000 points, they would still have enough points to go and try for the wii.

What they SHOULD do is CLOSE the membership of the website. Don't allow any more members to join, plain and simple. Wait a little while, let members get frustrated and leave. They should also add a ton of ads to the site, as a means of generating revenue to fund more prizes and as a means to alienate members to leave. Next, raise all the prices to crazy amounts, and have one massive redemption, none of this pussy shit of 5 psp's for 200,000 members. This will help lockerz get everyone down to low levels of points and a more manageable membership size. This would help them save face with the types of members they value, while cutting out members who do nothing but bog the site down. What do you think of that?
 
Also dude, I am not against you. Don't feel like "hey help1 is jsut a prick that for some reason hates me." You are just another user really. You want the site to succeed. I like the premise of the site too, and the concept does have potential. They are just promising too much.
 
Vulgarism, I feel for you, honestly, I do. It sounds like, as a LAB person, you're only slightly "higher" than a regular user - but you're going to catch all the hell. It really just sounds like you (and other LAB people) are merely meatshields.

I did want to throw in my two cents in on your reply to Help1. Just a couple things:

[quote name='Vulgarism'] That is what happens when you have such a huge user base and a small supply of items. They could (and eventually will) raise the prices, which will help out a small bit, but they want to try and make sure everything is well.
[/QUOTE]

Lockerz is ambitious, granted, and I don't fault them for that. But when you have a window of minutes (judging by what people say, as I have personally never seen a redemption) to redeem; then you really can't be surprised. I never thought I would say this, as I have always been against this, but in this case, I wouldn't hold using bots against someone; the site seems to only be usable that way.

Keep trying, or give up. If people honestly didn't care, they wouldn't waste hours on Lockerz during redemption. If your time is so valuable, go work for five hours and buy yourself a game.
Click to expand...

And that's the kicker: do you think Lockerz wants you to, basically, tell people to go elsewhere? Hell, I'd be pretty insulted if that was said to me: My time IS valuable to me, and I'm sure others feel the same way. Lockerz wants/ needs to give the illusion that you have a decent chance to redeem and no where on the site does it say how slim redemption chances are - that's what's really pissing people off.

Yesterday, I wasn't around a computer during redemption, and knew I wouldn't be. I haven't gone out of my way to be on during the redemption periods, but since I sit in front of a computer up to 12 hrs a day, it's not really out of my way to check. It goes to what I have said before: Lockerz, as it is now, isn't a site worth coming to. Eventually, a lot of people will feel the same way.

Raising the PTZ redemption cost might be a good thing, but there are a lot of people like me with hundreds of points just building up that we have never been able to redeem. Now that they expire in a year, do you really think that people are going to want to waste their time for a shot when they might not be able to use any points before they're lost? Now, I haven't done the math, but will it even be possible (even for a Z Lister) to get enough points in a year to get one of the higher items once everything is live and the costs go up?

Again, I feel bad for you, for all the crap you have to put up with being a LAB; it doesn't sound like you're being compensated enough. You're in a position of having to be a cheerleader for a beta site with a lot of problems and an angry user base.

Help1 and PlumeNoir, you guys do make a lot of good points. I am a "LAB" member also, and I absolutely feel for Vulgarism here, taking all the crap and stuff from everyone while trying to justify Lockerz. I have not really stuck up for them much on here, but I made the mistake of doing it on Facebook and have stopped since.

LAB members are given next to no information, we do not get any special treatment over regular members, and as you guys have said are absolutely "meat shields." We do take all of the crap from everyone, get nothing in return and continue to try and spread the good word. When I tried to calm the Facebook bunch about stuff, my facebook account was hacked and had numerous people try to say they were me on facbeook by creating fake accounts and promoting phishing sites. Lockerz response to what happen to me was nothing but an "oh well, what can we do," when I told them what was happening.

I really do like what Lockerz is doing, and hopefully when it is all launched things will be better. I agree with you guys on closing up membership, I think that would honestly be best at this point, especially when most new sign-ups are probably fake accounts to garner more PTZ.
 
Here's how I see it, prices being raised will do Jackshit, with the way things are looking from the last redemption. MAR was supposed to do the same thing with prices being raised, except... It failed to control the crowd.

I think Lockerz should just give a big "fuck you." to a lot of people, since they obviously can not withstand this many people. I don't see what Lockerz is trying to "test out", since the problem is obvious. Low Supply:HIGH DEMAND. They either increase their supply or get rid of the demand. Dealing with the High Demand by temporarily "banning" members, is a smart choice. Telling international members,
"We have faced many problems in the past with server stability, redemptions being crashy and laggy, and so... we have to tell you international members (Everyone outside of the USA), that it's time for us to temporarily suspend your accounts. We hope to see you in the following months!"

Very simple, yes?
 
[quote name='killer9']help 1 you do know that ptz expire right after a year[/QUOTE]
That is a non issue. If you are a Z lister, you get 8 points a day. Lets say that a wii costs 1250 points when the site opens up. 365 times 8 = 2920. You would be able to get 2 wiis and probably a game. There are just too many points floating around. Now you may say "Z lister expires in a year" Okay, but lets say they add enough play videos to help off balance that? Fact of the matter is there are too many ways too earn points and not enough ways to spend them.
 
Ptz expiring is not an issue when the site fully launches, however, will it be possible to become a Z-Lister again, when you were already one?
 
to be honest, I dont think the site even crashes because of how many people there is. I think lockerz makes there own server lag and go slow so it looks like theres a bunch of people flooding the site, but really its just lockerz, that way since it loads so slow they can take the prizes of them self, sure they will give out maybe a few prizes but yeah, once your in the site just says fresh out. I mean look at there facebook page almost the same amount of people are on there page if not more and it runs perfectly fine. lockerz is just lying bastards. but come on thats how companys are like.

this is what lockerz does, they sell our opinions from the dailys to other buisinesses that need them. I really doubt anyone joined lockerz just for the "enjoyment" of it. if they didnt give out free stuff, or at least claim to, there site would be eating shyt right now.

I mean do you really think people go to lockerz to watch lame ass videos made by there retarted staff and answer stupid questions in daily?
 
I actually am interested in Angel in the Kitchen, so yeah I like to go there and watch their videos.

But, I 98.9% doubt that Lockerz creates their own lag, and takes the prizes for themselves.

You think so? I really find that statement funny. As for selling your account, go to "my account"... If you're info is in there, good luck on them NOT flagging your account for the name, address, and E-mail address all changing.

Look at it like this... If Lockerz ends up turning into a social platform down the road with user created content (as suggested by a member in this thread) and free stuff, they could honestly steal the thunder from Facebook. They don't "claim" to give away free stuff-- I can show you pictures of the three boxes I've gotten from Lockerz and pictures of me opening one. You can say I only get stuff cause I'm a LAB member, and that's fine if you think that, but I got all four of my physical items BEFORE I became one.

As for Help1, I'm sorry for really digging in. Like Spida said, it's pretty much only a few defending the site. I do get upset because I know Lockerz is screwing themselves over, but they're not doing it intentionally. Their problems stem from the massive goals they set for themselves so early. It's like a kid just learning to crawl and trying to ride a two wheel bike, for a shitty comparison.

I'd love for Lockerz to take off, so that the people who have been around for awhile can be happy that they got free shit before the "rest" of the crowd (I say it like that, because how many people DON'T have Lockerz accounts?)

Again, sorry for my hostility, but I wish there was a little faith in Lockerz, and I wish that at least the people here could get some positivity from the site.
 
Getting points to watch a video for less than 5 minutes instead of seeing "ZOMG this is teh awesum" in a Youtube comments section seems much more worth it. Hell, I didn't know the Macgruber trailer was even available yet so win-win.

The site is getting better, but I don't see myself winning anything unless I get enough points to guarantee a prize within a certain points range (just reached 500 points now). It's also unfortunate for those of us who want a prize to use it for its intended purpose instead of a hot selling item on Ebay.

But as it stands there are no viable ways to spend your points...

And some youtube comment sections are cool. Most are not.
 
If you redeem a "Guarantee your prize"
do you have to pay the price of that and the price of the prize, or do you just have to pay the price of the guarantee?

I also got the confirmation email today! No More Heroes 2 better not disappoint. The wrestling moves from the first game were so sweet to pull off.
 
Could someone explain to me how getting prizes works? I just started using the site a while ago and I have no idea how to redeem the points for prizes. It always says MORE SOON under everything.
