Scour Announces New Reward System. Good News Or Bad News?  

To me, it seems like bad news because like you said, not everyone will get rewarded for their efforts...contests are always pot luck so these days, I try to steer clear of them as there's no guarentee of getting anything.

That doesn't sound totally fair to me. I usally might get one or two points a day. I use scour a lot but it doesn't add up that fast.

I don't Scour I My Points for my searches. I want the cash or gift card. Drawings and sweepstakes - I never win so I stopped participating. LIke you said, why should one person be rewarded for all of our work? Greenfield surveys is like this too... take a 20 minutes (often longer) survey and you'll be entered into the sweepstakes. I started out doing it, but since after a few months and MANY surveys later.. I hadn't won a sweepstakes, I was obviously wasting my time. Now I don't do the surveys with a sweeps as a reward. This day and age...we all work to hard and spend to much of our time working so hard.. that we want what is ours, what we worked hard for ... not just a chance at getting it.

i am not apart of this site, but i would say this new reward system is not a great idea. i rather know that every single i am going to get something for my efforts

I think its bad news - I was a member of Swagbucks which does basically the same thing and i never "won" enough to be worth me using it or even cashing out. I gave up and switched to scour. I earned slowly but now I actually have deleted my account because it doesnt seem very fair that in the end a few lucky people will be rewarded and the rest will be SOL.

I just read that, too. I don't like that at all. I do a few searches everyday and I like that I get points for each search that will eventually amount to something. The only time I like taking chances with money is when I'm playing Blackjack, other than that, I like to know that I'm getting a guaranteed reward for my efforts, especially if it has always been that way. I think I'm going to try another incentive search engine and leave Scour alone.

You know what, I just posted a discussion on the same thing! Maybe I should have gone through my e-mails first lol. Anyway, I flat out hate this new turn of events. All the chances to win go to the people with no lives that spend all day on Scour, with a thousand referrals that do the same. I am still going to use the site, just because I like the search results themselves. Unfortunately it would take too much virtual memory to get all those results at one time otherwise, but I'm not even thinking about payout anymore, even after my year of hard work.

that is really a bad news.. you can try and try and try to search but will never get anything in return.. they cna fake the winners to be themselves!!

Yes,this itself was bad news but the real bad news came later in September. They said that due to the feedback they received from most of the scour members they have decided to drop the lucky draw payout system. Until there great news, but reading further, at the bottom, there is the real bad news, reward system will be dropped anyway, it said. So now they don't pay at all.

Hello friend i have not joined this site yet though a friend had told me about this site long back, he later told me this site stopped paying lol.. i am happy here in mylot.. i am assured of the payment....
Thank you so much for this discussion. . Have a nice time, Cheers.
