the whole truth about lockerz.com

Hi dear habrayuzer!

Take it easy! I do not offer you an invite to lockerz.com . I just want to share my little experience of participating in this project. Almost all of you have probably heard of him;)

But first, some information and links from the past, namely, posts with Habrahabr:

- let's call the introduction - Invites to Lockerz.com from Minimall on September 22, 2009.
- first offenses - Lockerz.com or “white scam” from gabex November 24, 2009.
- Russian-speaking community Lockerz

As for me, I’ll say right away that I’m unlucky for all sorts of lotteries, sweepstakes and freebies, I finally became convinced of this after 5 years of study at the university. Rather, in life I often fell for all sorts of scam than for real freebies. Therefore, loherz lockerz was initially skeptical, but still the project hooked me with something and the dream of a free Ipod Touch did not allow me to sleep calm :)
And I did begin to fulfill 3 main conditions of the project, invite real friends (for all the time I made only one “fake” account), answer questions (answers to which they sell to large corporations, you know what;)) and everyone Day to go to this dull cute site, so that my points multiplied.

And from the past for me three redeem'ov (the so-called time of the exchange of prizes) we have:

- First redeem. I don’t really remember when he was, and there’s really nothing to remember, then the prizes were not sent outside the USA and I had few points, here.

- T-shirt.

I received such a t-shirt from lockerz, it was unexpected and very pleasant, the t-shirt turned out to be too big for me, presented to a friend.

- The second redeem. It took place on November 24, despite the terrible lags of the excellent work of the site, the constant breaks in connection with this, I managed to order the Ipod Touch 8 Gb . My joy knew no bounds, but as it turned out later, and as I was answered in their support (the answer was given after 4 days), I did not correctly send them an “order receipt” (order confirmation). Such a bummer was waiting for many European users lockerz. Exactly one thing that none of my friends or acquaintances received prizes from the second draw, after such a failure, the belief in the project pretty much diminished.

- The third redeem. In general, the guys from lockerz are great, even if it’s not as fast as we would like, but the site’s speed has grown by a few. The redeem system was changed, now the time of the redeem was not announced in advance, but only the date was spoken, that is, the principle of redeem began to change, which saved the site from a number of onlookers and left the most annoying. It did not say what happened unexpectedly, but oh, how not to be on time. January 1, 2010 at 00:30 Kyiv time (+2 gmt) , that is, at the height of the new year celebration, our American friends, who had time with -7 hours difference, arranged the whole action.

Miraculously or not, but after 2 full attempts to get a long-awaited prize, I managed to order it and even received it , it happened about 20 days after 3 redeem'a, which is pretty quick for a parcel from USA.

My victory was the watch of the company Nixon , model The Newton :

Video (now we keep the camera straight :))):


Their price on amazon.com

Small conclusions:
- lockerz.com is still not a scam.
- Prizes can be obtained only by spending the actual amount of time for which, in principle, it would be possible to earn these prizes and buy them at the same amazon.com .
