Thoughts on Boomertowne changes
**UPDATE: I no longer recommend Boomertowne – they have not cashed in on gift cards since the early part of May, and are not communicating with their users. Please see this post for more information.
At the end of January, I wrote a brief review about a site called Boomertowne. I still visit this site daily, but a couple of things have changed since that post, so I thought I would write an update.
What has changed?
1. An individual can earn up to 1500 points a day. Depending on how focused I am, this can take me anywhere from 30 minutes to about an hour.
2. If you sign up now, it takes twice as long to earn prizes (older members have a different points system). A $25 gift card is 25,000 points for new members. You have to figure out if it is worth your time. As a new member, that would take about 17 days. If you can earn your 1500 daily points in 30 minutes, that is a little less than $3/hour for your effort.
3. Once you earn a total of 100,000 points, you become a Gold member and get an additional 10% in points for the activities you complete. For example, I get an additional 150 points for every day that I earn 1500 points. Once you earn a total of 300,000 points, you become a Platinum member and get an additional 25% in points your activities.
4. They do have an affiliate program now. If you are interested, leave a comment with your e-mail address and I will send you a link for signing up. It only benefits me (I get extra points), but I would appreciate it!
This site is legitimate. I have received multiple Best Buy, Target, and Visa gift cards from them. I am saving the Best Buy and Target gift cards for Christmas gifts. We’ve used a couple of the $50 Visa gift cards for landscaping and toys. I am currently working on getting a Wii (more on that in another post!). With any luck it will arrive before the bad weather hits!
Do you have any sites that you visit daily to earn some extra cash?
Can you send me the link for the affiliate site for BT please? I already belong to BT.com.
Thanks
I joined BoomerTowne years ago, and I have been disappointed every single time. I first earned enough points for the tape measure and the computer case, but I still have not received either, even though I had more than enough points earned for both items. BT is not a site I would have recommended, as it was never very conscientious about actually fulfilling their end of the points redemption process. When a site such as BT, where points are earned that can be redeemed or exchanged for items, fails repeatedly to uphold their end of the redemption agreement, I tend to cancel my account with that site, as they obviously are NOT legit.
Just a warning.
