3 New Features LIVE

The three features are:

1) New Game: Guess my number (contests tab)
This is a fun game that is very simple. You guess a number 100-500. If you are right you can win up to 1,000 tokens. The game will start daily at 12 am and 7pm EST (for those morning people and those who are at work all the time and do QR after work). The first 50 people to guess once the game starts get 10 Tokens. The cool thing is that that number does not change throughout the game. So if you win and you have friends who are QR members you can share the answer with them. If you are not the first winner, but one of the first 50 to submit that answer you will still get 100 tokens. Don't forget that you and your friends can share the numbers you selected so that you both don't choose the same wrong number.


2) QuickRewards Loyalty Program (TOKEN MYSTERY REVEALED)
This program is a little bonus thanking you for your loyalty. Every 1 cent you earn on QR regardless what you do (not limited to offers and shopping only) will earn you 10 tokens. You will be amazed to see how quickly they add up if you do clicks, paid emails, daily surveys and freebie offers daily. The cool part is that if you can't reach the first tier in one month you can have your tokens rolled over 100% if you earn $25 (see terms). You can go to your account history to locate a bar that will tell you how close you are to reaching that $25 goal. Prizes include gift cards, movie theater tickets, QR merchandise.

3)QuickRewards Survey Club
A lot of you do daily surveys almost every day so this is a way to reward those who do them often. Complete 15 in one month and get $3 bonus or complete 20 in one month and get $5 bonus.

Another very huge surprise ( a feature that is truly something everyone will love) is going to be released late June or early July.

I would really appreciate your feedback regarding the game and especially loyalty program. I would like to know what you like and dislike bout it. I am a bit worried that not everyone might like it and will change the game/loyalty program is necessary.

It might just be me but I'm not 100% clear on the loyalty program and the rolling over month to month. Maybe I just need to read it again.

Dmitry said...

Let me try to put it this way. The first prize requires you to earn $100 (for some people this can be done within a month and some might take a few months to do it).

Other rewards sites will give you $x bonus if you earn $x hundred dollars in one month. If you don't you don't get anything. With QR I will allow you to roll over your tokens to the next month as long as you earn $25 every month. If you earn less than $25 50% of the tokens are lost the first day of the new month. I hope this clears it up a bit.

Nice progress on the site. Sorry to hear of the multiple window poppers crashing the system. I like the way things work now. While I'm not likely to manage to catch a number game very often it is nice to have it available.

Unknown said...

Frankly, after reading your comments dmitry I still don't understand the loyalty program. I am at 0.00% right now and can't tell how many points are rolled over. How can I tell when I have reached $25 or more?

You state that there will be 10 tokens awarded for each cent earned. Well, I received 4 cents on a click and I only received 30 tokens for it and not 40.

Not too crazy about the guess the number game. It will be very difficult to guess the correct number in from 50 people from such a wide range of numbers to choose from. OK I guess.

Dmitry said...

Hi Rene,
Thanks for the compliment.

Hi Sandra,
That bar will not show tokens earned from clicks since the $25 requires you to do signups, offers, shopping, surveys. That bar goes up once you do one of these things. The point of that bar is to have the progress of things that qualify for the 100% roll over.

The tokens are not instant. They could take a few minutes to show up.

We might lower the range for the game. I want to see how it goes for a few days before doing that.

ladyjane98 said...

Love the new site! Especially that the new day is now the day and not a time that would keep getting away from me!

Maybe for the guess the number game, you could tell us if our guess it too high or too low???

Thanks!!

Deborah said...

I'm also still confused with the token thing. I understand how they are earned, but don't know what we do with them. Is there some screen which shows what they can be redeemed for?

Unknown said...

Love the new enahncements. The survey incentive and Guessing game is awesome. However, I think the $25 limit is a little high for the loyalty program. With this limit it may cause some frustration for people who lose half of their token values every month. I think $10-$15 is more realistic for most people.

laura k said...

I ws credited for 15 surveys in May. does that mean I qualify for the $3.00 bonus?

Unknown said...

I think the range on the game is too broad if we only have one guess. I might suggest at least having is say if the guess it too high or too low so if you work as a team with your friends you know which direction to go and can narrow it down a bit. I would like it even better if you could have up to 5 guesses and a too high, too low. Right now it is purely luck.

Lori said...

If you are DQ'D for a survey can you try more than once to qualify or can you only do this once a day. I know on SR you can try until you qualify for one.

mmiller711 said...

I do like the Guess the Number game! My guess was 500 and I do think it is safe to say it was not correct but at the top it did say the guess was too high! So maybe that was just added in. I do think it is nice that you are giving bonuses for the surveys. I don't think I will qualify for the tokens but it is a great way to reward those who shop and spend money with the site and it does not decrease payouts for those of us who mainly do just clicks etc...
Thanks for a great site!!!

nelda said...

I really like all the "surprises" today, and I like them just the way they are! Your hard work is appreciated! Your site just keeps getting better and better!

Dmitry said...

ladyjane98 and dvc_doll,
We did add the lower/higher hints to the game. Thanks for the suggestions.

Deborah,
You can go to this url to find out everything you need to know about the tokens:
http://www.quickrewards.net/policy/loyalty.html
We will be adding the ability to redeem them in a few days.

Robert,
We were doing a lot of research and decided to go with $25 minimum because of various reasons. We will have a lot of various promotions that will help members boost up their token balance.

laura k,
The bonus for surveys begins June. It does not include past months.

Lori,
Same rules apply. You can try as many times as you like until you qualify for the survey.

mmiller711,
We would never ever decrease the value of anything because we introduced the loyalty program. All the rates for everything remain the same.

Lori said...

Thanks for your answer Dmitry

Unknown said...

Site is shaping up nicely!!!!!
Keep it up

I'm back from vacation and you have made a lot of changes to QR. I like the Trivia and the Guess the Number games. The "too high" and "too low" really helps. Nice job! I don't think that I do enough on eBay, shopping, sign-ups and surveys to earn $25 in a single month -- maybe before Christmas -- so I don't think that I will ever have 100,000 Tokens.

cathi said...

Does anyone on QR have any expierence with the VOIP company Sun Rocket. I am currently using Vonage and I am very unhappy with them.

Thanks in Advance.

Autumn Dreamer said...

The survey club is a waste of my time - I never qualify for any of them!

Unknown said...

when are we suppose to get our refs transfered over? I had 2 and have none now?

Dmitry said...

Hi amb22,
Did both of your referrals transfer to the new QR?

Jean1257 said...

Do I understand? I have 400 tokens now. I don't earn 25.00. On June 30, I will be reduced to 200 tokens. I don't earn 25.00 in July, on July 31 I will be reduced to 100 tokens? Shouldn't the ones from the previous month be protected so they are not part of the reduction?

I am on a very limited budget and don't buy a lot of stuff, on or off the net. I haven't earned 25.00 total by shopping since I joined QR over a year ago.

Really like the numbers game! Love the trivia also.

Dmitry said...

Hi Jean1257,
The reason we had to have these reduced if you don’t earn $25 is because we would be losing a lot of money on this promotion if everyone only did clicks and was able to carry over the balances. Please remember that we have about 7cents in clicks per member every day. We lose money on these clicks since most members don’t enter their email or zips. We would not be able to afford both: “free clicks”, “free points for trivia and games” while keeping the loyalty program.
You don’t need to shop at all to earn $25. Do you do daily surveys? Each survey is an extra 750 points. If you do a daily featured offer on the site it is usually 300-800 points. If you also do offers in paid emails most of the mare also 300-800 each (we usually send two). Generally if you do 2 free offers a day or one offer and daily survey you should have no problems at all reaching that goal. It really isn’t as hard as it sounds.

We will also have a lot of token boost promotions soon.

Unknown said...

I also had several referrals on the old site but now have none listed. I thought perhaps they just hadn't been transferred over. I also don't know if they are still active members since the switch.

Dmitry said...

Hi dvc_doll,
Everyone who did the transfer should be in your account. We will be sending a mailing to those that didn't switch yet in a few days. As soon as they switch they will show up in your referral history. The system will not allow them to transfer their old account while choosing new referrals. If they want their old account back then you will always be the original person who referred them.

Unknown said...

Hi,No They didnt transfer to my new qr.

Dmitry said...

Hi amb22,
You can tell them to transfer and then they will appear as your referral again. If they have a questions regarding how to transfer ask them to email us.

laura k said...

regarding referral: what do we get from having a referral? a percentage or credit for offers that they do? where will this show?

Dmitry said...

Hi laura k,
Unlike the old QR that only credited you for offers they complete, the new QR pays you 5% of everything they do such as surveys, offers, signups, paid emails, shopping and so on. Also we will enhance this system in a few weeks so that it will be up to 10% (5% for shopping and bigger for some other things).

Right now as soon as they do an offer/shopping/signup or whatever and get credited for it your balance will increase. There is no way to see exactly how much you earned, but you will be able to do that later in June.

laura k said...

thank for the quick reply!

Kathie said...

On the Guess the Number Game.....can the site show that the game has already ended and the correct answer right after 50 people have put in the correct number?? Even if it's before the time deadline??

Frustrating to submit the correct number only to have it come up that the game is already over.

Dmitry said...

Hi Kathleen,
We tried doing that (getting the program to display the sorry message before you enter the number) and we are getting some strange error. We are working on fixing this. Thanks for your suggestion.

Kathie said...

Thanks Dmitry! Can you check today's Trivia Question when you get to it. It appears there could be 2 correct answers as the question left out an important word (FIRST). Thanks!

Kathie said...

I just looked at the Trivia again and the answers that were there this morning have been changed???????

The wrong (?) answer I picked is no longer an option.

Help!

Deborah said...

Has anyone actually won the Guess My Number Game? It seems like an almost impossible task to me.

Dmitry said...

Hi Kathleen,
You can email me and I will give you manual credit for the trivia question.

Hi Deborah,
Every game 101 members win 10, 50 or 1,000 tokens.

Kathie said...

Thanks Dmitry! I thought I was losing my mind.

Dmitry - Are the daily clicks supposed to count toward the $25 monthly total and % progress bar? I just checked my progress bar which claims that I am at 16.6% which is equal to $4.15 out of the $25 needed. However, that is the exact amount of my signups so far this month. I don't know exactly how much in daily clicks I've earned, but they don't seem to be included in the progress bar.

Dmitry said...

Hi Debbie,
The bar will not include clicks, trivia and guess the number game. It will only include shopping, signups, paid emails and surveys.

Unknown said...

So half of your tokens are gone if you don't earn $25 ever month? But this doesnt effect our money earned right? JUst our tokens?

Dmitry said...

Hi the_musicsongbird,
No you don't lose 50% of the money. You would only lose 50% of the tokens if you don't reach that level.
