I Cleaned Out My Locker.

I have been a part of Lockerz since the end of last summer and I have been a dedicated member. After checking out PTZplace and seeing all of the amazing prizes they had to offer I wanted to start earning as fast as possible. It's actually really mindless. You get 2 ptz for logging in and 2 ptz for answering the Daily Question. As your pointz add up you have one chance a month to redeem them... or at least that's what they want you to think.

With amazing prizes like the MacBook Air, iPod Touches and various games and game systems of course many people are going to join. Lockerz has either failed to realize this or is too cheap to buy servers that can actually handle their traffic. It's nearly impossible to redeem when items fresh out in 10 seconds and it takes your page about a minute to load. You would have to refresh your page at just the right time to have even a slim chance at redeeming your pointz.

All of these problems plus some have pushed me from Lockerz and into the hands of another "redeem your prize" site called SwagBucks. It's a lot more useful and reliable than Lockerz. All you do is use Swagbucks as your primary search engine and as you search you could win 10-100 SwagBucks. After letting your swag add up you can redeem for gift cards, clothes, cameras, mp3 players, and more.

The best part is that you don't have to wait for a restock. You could cash in your SwagBucks at any time; so what are you waiting for? Go get some swag.

2 Amazing Sites

While surfing the web this week I found two amazing sites. One that I had found and another someone invited me too and they are both amazing. They have some great perks and I thought that my readers would really enjoy them.

The first that I found is called urThots and the site is dedicated to your thoughts. Their slogan is "think it. write it." and that's exactly what you do. If you have an idea, question, or random finding you could post it anonymously, or if you'd like, you can make an account and connect it to your Facebook to make it public. It's easy, fast and a great way to get noticed. Finding another person that is thinking the same thing or asking the same question isn't hard either, you can just search through tags. I really liked the concept and the user friendly interface.

The second site is an invite-only website and I am so glad that I got invited. It's called Lockerz and it pays you with pointz everytime you log on and answer the daily question. You get two points per day that you log on and 2 points per day when you answer the Daily. You also play a game when you first join that allows you to get free pointz. You can redeem those points for electronics, cool brands, and events. It's fun and a great way to get new technology in this decrepit economy. If you want an invite just e-mail me at TeenOnDaRise@gmail.com with your e-mail address and I will be happy to send you one.

Leave a comment and tell me what you think of these websites!

Golden Boy

I recently heard about the new card that Starbucks has released called The Gold Card, for those that love Starbucks. It's a membership that you pay for annually ($25) and you get exclusive offers and discounts, a free drink on your birthday, a free drink if you buy the card in a store, 10% off of most of your purchases, and 2 hours of free wi-fi everyday. It sounds like a good deal. The perk that I'm most looking at is the 2 hours of free wi-fi everyday, having a MacBook Pro and all. :) Usually the 2 hours of internet cost $3.49 so i would be recovering the cost of the membership fairly quickly, plus all of the discounts and offers. I believe that it's a great deal but there is a downside to the card, it's so new that most baristas don't even know about it, so you have to constantly remind them to take 10% off. I'm thinking about getting it, not because I'm a Starbucks fanatic and go everyday, but because when I do go I go all out and buy either a lot or the really expensive things. I also love the way the card looks, and I've heard from other forums that the black is matte-y and the gold is just shiny plastic. Now who wouldn't want that in their wallet?

What all the cool kids are doing:
