My total reward credits are going to expire in a few days and my plan was to make it to AC to get some activity but I was thinking if there was another quick way to get some activity? I believe online shopping can take weeks for points to post. What about online gambling? I have 3 days.....
Not that I ever go more than 6 months without visiting a TR property, I do keep the TR Visa card with an auto charge every month. Keeps your RC alive indefinitely.
How many points are we talking about here? Keep in mind that any activity will impact your adt and future offers.
They discontinued the Total Reward Marketplace. I believe there was a post about someone buying digital chips/coins for one of CET Facebook games and getting points added to their account after a few days. I can't remember how many days they had to wait though.
Buying a minimum of $5 worth of chips on the Facebook-linked casino will get you 5 cents of Rewards Credits and keep them alive. It takes a day or two for them to post. You can set up a fake Facebook account to do this. The TR Marketplace is no more, but CET still has an affiliation with 1-800-Flowers.com, which has an array of brands (like Popcorn Factory and other stuff like that). Expect to pay minimum of $30 to buy something on one of those sites. You have to be signed into TR and use the link from TR to 1-800-Flowers.com.
Also, you can participate in social rewards (web.socialrewards.com). Takes little time, and once you earn 1,000 points, can transfer them to your TR account. Can be slightly tricky to get the hang of it in the beginning, but as you earn, transfer to extend your expiration date. I've earned about $280 from social rewards since I began doing it.
Yes - that is a good way to build & keep credits active. It won't help the person with only a few days to go though. The report I read on the chips for the games was about 2 to 3 days - which is the most practical if you have a decent amount of credits. If you have $10, I wouldn't bother.
Social points don't count. When playing their online games, the only reward credits you get are from buying chips/coins.
QUOTE"FedEx a copy of your card to somebody." This is a really bad idea. Having someone put a couple of points on your card will seriously affect your ADT and future offers..
I would tend to agree. I see folks often work hard to save 5,000 reward credits, not understanding it is worth only $50. And, as you said, you now have a low play day that brings down your ADT and future offers.
