I got $500 from Lockerz!

So yesterday was the "Member Appreciation" redemption day on Lockerz.  You could buy a chance to redeem a prize that day.  I believe it was 100 PTZ for one chance, 250 for 2 chances and 350 for 3 chances.

Each chance was a different wave at a different time during the day.  I decided to buy all 3 chances for 350 PTZ.  Well, I ended up not getting anything yesterday in any of the 3 waves.  I felt like I wasted my PTZ.

Today they announced that they refunded everbody 100 PTZ for the 3rd wave because there were a lot of cheat bots which made it impossible for a lot of people to log in.  I felt a little bit better for getting some PTZ back.

Today was also the general redemption.  The exact time was a surprise, but it ended up being around 4:30 CST.  I had been sitting in front of the computer all afternoon, and right before that I went to go get something to eat.  When I came back, I refreshed Lockerz and it was redemption!

I had wanted to get either the Macbook Pro or Air, but those were out of stock already, so I went for the $500 for 2500 PTZ, and what do you know, it went through! If I had taken maybe 10 seconds longer away from the computer, I would have missed it.  So now I just have to wait until I get a confirmation email from Lockerz.

What is Lockerz?

I guess I never really explained what Lockerz is, so here is their FAQ from their site:

1. What is Lockerz? Lockerz is an invitation-only worldwide community where members can find entertainment, shopping and a full social network all on one website. Members are rewarded for almost everything they do on the site--whether it's buying a cool new brand, watching a video, playing a game, answering a daily question or even just logging in. At launch, Lockerz will have more than 15 ways for members to earn PTZ.

2. What types of products can be purchased at Lockerz? We’ve partnered with thousands of the best brands and stores to bring you the latest and greatest in every category – electronics, designer gear, stylish accessories, sports equipment and more. Members will soon be able to purchase digital assets such as music, videos, art, and decals.

3. What can you do with PTZ on Lockerz? PTZ can be used only onwww.Lockerz.comright now for free prizes in PTZ Place, for entering amazing sweepstakes as many times as you want in the same contest, and for charity donations. After launch, PTZ may be used for amazing discounts on items for sale, free shipping, VIP experiences across the globe as well as free prizes and charity donations in PTZ Place.

4. Why is Lockerz giving away prizes at low levels on PTZ Place? We set PTZ very low to thank our earliest members for helping us build the site. Beginning December 1, PTZ values will increase by 4x on average although there will be many more ways to earn PTZ than ever before. Even with the PTZ increase, prizes will still be very attainable for the active Lockerz member.

5. What does “More Soon” mean? We are working to get you more products in PTZ Place because the overwhelming early response to Lockerz blew right through our inventory. We will re-stock PTZ Place on a periodic basis.

6. When is the next "restock" happening? Due to huge traffic issues from our last redemption, we are no longer pre-announcing re-stock dates. However, we can say that the next redemption event will be limited to Z-list members and will occur in November. There will be a general membership redemption before the end of November as well. We will announce redemptions on the morning of the event on the Lockerz Hallway only.

7. Does Lockerz ship internationally? Yes. Keep in mind that you will be responsible for any incoming taxes or duties into your country if your country does not deem a free prize as a gift. Check out this link to better understand what duties and taxes you might have to pay:http://fedex.com/us/international/irc/profiles/?link=2. If you are in Brazil, we are working to find a distribution partner to help us reduce or even eliminate any tax/duty penalties.

8. When will I get my shipment (i.e, Redeemed PTZ Place prize, Purchased Order, Z-List t-shirt)? Please allow two weeks for delivery in the U.S., 14-21 days outside of the U.S.

9. How many accounts can I have? Members are entitled to one account per person. Each person within a household can have their own account.

10. How will Lockerz make money? Starting later this fall, you will be able to purchase products at Lockerz. But don’t worry, PTZ Place will still be around, with way more prizes and experiences. Members will be able to earn PTZ every time they buy, watch, play, share, invite friends, or simply show up on Lockerz. PTZ will be redeemable for both products and experiences.

11. When will Lockerz launch? Lockerz is launching in stages. PTZ Place, Lockerz’ Prize Redemption Center, is now live. Other components will be launched soon. The complete site will be launched later this fall.

12. What kind of dog is Odyss? Thanks for asking! He’s a Norwich terrier.

I redeemed a prize on Lockerz!!!

Today was the second wave of the Z-List redemption this month.  The first wave was last night, and I was not lucky then.  Today, I was mainly aiming to get the 13" MacBook for 1000 PTZ, but after a while I realized I probably was not going to get it.  Everyone usually goes for the electronics prizes, so I decided to try to get a prize in the "Cool Brands" category.  And -- I did!  I got the CHI flat iron (hair styling tool) for 300 PTZ.  I got my email receipt which you can see here.  I will be posting updates as well as some unboxing pics when I get my prize!
