Anyone heard of the site, use it at all?
http://www.lockerz.com
I got an invite recently and had a look around, and it seems that you login everyday, answer a question, get 4 points (for that day). You can then order different items with those points, from 100 points for a bunch of different games, up to 600 points for consoles.
It almost seems to good to be true.
Has anyone ordered and received anything from them?
I'm just curious as to whether I should invest time into getting more points, or if I should just forget it because it's worthless.
I also wonder how they are making money. Some of the questions you answer could be a way for companies to get info on potential buyers, but at those kind of prices, it almost doesn't make sense.
Right now it's in private beta, so it's on invite only, and most of the pages on the site don't work, and they have been out of stock since I joined. Which is strange, but it does seem professional.

That's probably the catch. I doubt they'll ever keep enough stock to make good on their giveaway claims.
My friend joined too, and he made a bunch of fake accounts and got an iPod skin or something as soon as they came in stock.
Apparently, premium accounts get priority on stocks, and to get premium you need to invite a lot of people.
Imo, having a job makes money way faster than any of these online things. =/
Sounds like an interesting idea.
How do you get invited, or was it sort of random?
Do you have to go through a bunch of surveys or something? I know a lot of websites that claim to give away free domain names and things like that make you go through endless amounts of surveys, and you can never get to the end until you actually sign up for one of the survey things and pay.
Arty, I don't think this website was intended for people to make a living off of, but more for people who are bored and can answer a question a day, and eventually get something for free out of it.
The website is currently down for maintenance. Do they have any advertisements or anything? They could also be getting paid off of their advertisements as well. As if what they are offering is true, they will get a huge amount of visitors.

I got an invite sent to me from a person on a Xbox site I'm on, I can send you one if you want.

Surprisingly not. There is something called Dailies, where you log in, get two points for that day, and then answer a question, takes a minute, maybe. You can get at most 4 points a day, and it doesn't take long. Which is strange for the business model they seem to have.

I think I fall into that group, if I can go for a month or two, and get a free game, that's awesome. I'm kind of a stickler when it comes to buying games, and if it comes for free, I'll be ecstatic.

No, there are no ads that I've seen at all. It is still in beta, with quite a few features missing, but I would have thought they would have massive amounts of ads. And from what I've understand, there are over 100k people signed up for it already. But it is invite only.
It seems almost too good to be true, but I think I'll keep doing the dailies for a while, as it doesn't take long.
