SpotWinner $10 Redemption Received (PayPal)

I received my SpotWinner $10 redemption via PayPal on July 23 2008. I opted for $10 in PayPal and I am glad that it came within a few weeks. SpotWinner sent out an email right after the PayPal email notification arrived in my inbox. Here's what it said:

Hello,

Cashed Out M: Metrics $15 Check

I received my $15 incentive check from M Metrics for my participation in their M:Metrics Smart M:Panel. I was required to install a software on my mobile phone (Cingular 8125 a.k.a. HTC Wizard) which monitors my data consumption on my phone. I can see my monthly data usage via my account profile page (how many KB). I get paid for contributing my usage details. I have nothing to lose as I do not do any secure transactions over the mobile internet. After joining, you are offered 2 methods to install the program onto your phone. First, you can download it to your PC and install it into your phone. Or you can choose the option to have a link sent to your phone and download on your phone. I've had good experience with them. My initial check was not delivered and they actually sent me an email to indicate that my incentive has not been cashed out. So I corrected my address and the check came eventually.

If you're interested, head over to MobilePanel.com to join. Sorry, Apple iPhone not supported :P

M:Metrics is the pioneer in measuring consumer consumption of mobile content and applications and benchmarking the relative performance of cellular telephone service providers, phone manufacturers, wireless technology providers and mobile media content companies.

Thanks for All Who Signed Up for Blingo

Thanks for those who are still signing up for Blingo under my branch. Appreciate it. And good luck to all. I do use Blingo once in a while for a few random searches just to try out my luck. You'll never know. I might just hit the jackpot that everybody yearns for.

BzzPoints Converted to MyPoints

I recently received a boost in my MyPoints because BzzAgent decided to convert the BzzPoints into MyPoints. I would consider this a good thing for me because there are a lot more things which I can redeem using MyPoints. BzzPoints were only available to be used on certain rewards in a particular campaign that one joined. This is very restrictive as there are very limited choices of rewards available, what more to say decent rewards.

Redeemed $15 from FreeRide

I redeemed a $15 Amazon.com gift certificate from FreeRide (review post here). It took me 18,500 tokens to redeem for a $15 value item. Check out was hassle free and I will receive the gift certificate via email (don't waste paper, protect the environment). Customer service/support has always been good and quick from FreeRide. So if you are interested, I'd recommend FreeRide. I am saving my Amazon gift certificates to buy some wishlist items from Amazon. For example this JBL On Tour Portable Speaker System.
