Mark Ellis and crew have launched Mintshot this week.
It’s a site that rewards Kiwis for interacting with their favourite brands.
I’m interested to see how it goes – I’m kinda in two minds – there are some good prizes, but do people really want to sit and deliberately watch advertisements?
Change the channel while the ads are on and but something from Mintshop.
It’s not that painful watching the ads and there’s a limit to how many you can watch, so it’s not like you have to be some sad case watching ads all day to keep up.
One thing though. A couple days ago I watched someone win 2 auctions with bids totalling around m$170,000. The thing is, at the time it was (and still is) impossible to have earned that much (and yes I am taking into account the “Play the People” game). Hopefully it’s just a bug, otherwise it’s a scam or someone has already found a way to cheat.
For what it’s worth, the user name with all the cash was something like “devar” or “dewar”
Totally agree with Steve……On the first day of the month where we all start at 100 m$. Once all the ‘earn its’ are done the max you can get is somehere like m$5,600 and then you must grow it.
The thing is – that the system crashed and there was no ‘grow it’ games (or mintick items), but people had between m$17,000 and m$20,00 to place on bids…..it was the first day…..its not possible to have that much from “earn its”, and there was no “grow its”….what a scam I give up.
