They are not sending the prizes that I cashed in, instead they gave me back my points. Now, all they have is drawings. I will use them up and then I am done. I had over $125 coming and now it is out the window!! I really had liked them, but this makes me mad.

That's not right! If they want to switch to the drawing, they should still honor the money they owe!!

I gave up on Netwinner a long time ago. I was waiting for 2 cards, one a $25 Bath and Body Works and an ecard for $25. They were redeemed in November and December. When I sent them an inquiry of the status of the cards, they said they were 3 months behind and were working on September's winners. Now that should have meant that I would have long ago received my winnings. Never did.

I am having a lot of fun with Boomertowne and have already received 2 $25 Target gift cards. I am now ready to redeem points for a $50 Visa card.

The president/COO sent out a lengthy emails with their explanation of the changes. While I understand the business decisions, I know that it will decrease their membership substantially. As for whether I'll continue or not, I'm still debating.

I never did recieve the email. I think they should have honored the already cashed in prizes and changed the new. I do know they were way behind.

yea,i'm not thrilled about the constant drawings either.i'm still waiting on a card i cashed out several months ago.it still says "processing". i haven't been playing it as much,which sucks,cause i did like the game.but if they're not paying out,what's the point of playing it? i'm tempted to move over to pogo.one of my friends plays it,and she says she's gotten paid.

Have you checked this week? They have given the points back and are no longer going to fill it. I play pogo once in a while, but found a better one that I spend more time on.

Are you sure? I thought that when they changed to points they kept one MasterCard gift card option. Have been busy and did not check in the last few days, but are you sure.

They did, but when I logged in today, they gave me all the points back, and all my pending prizes are gone. Really stinks.

Wow, you are right. I don't like it when programs like that keep changing the TOS and "rewards" so personally, I I never played there enough to get anything, but I feel for you! Did you even win an instant prize and do you think they are still paying out on those? I have gotten a little from instant wins on Moola (which no longer has them!) and Pogo, but not from any other games.

I was done with them a while back. I really think they should pay those that had earnings before they changed their rules. It makes their site seem more like a scam doing it the way they are. I won't even go back to their sites any more.

Wow, I'd be angry too. That's bull. I wouldn't even bother with the site at all if I were one of the many who obviously are not getting their prizes.

I tried to get into the site once and it darn near drove me batty. I was bored stiff and didn't see myself doing that long enough to make any real money, so I quit. I work on about three different sites regularly. I feel that if I put all my time into those, I will make more money, instead of jumping to 12 and 20 different sites a day. Besides it is too confusing anyway. Although, I know it works for some people.

The same thing happened to me. They owed me about $100 in ecount debit cards. And also they owed my husband about $50 in ecount debit cards. I just went and visited the site and it is STILL up. I would have thought by now it would be down. I also read that there have been several complaints filed against them with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). No one will ever get anything with those points. I hate to think of all the hours I wasted there to rack up all those points for nothing.

I would have been mad also.. That was dirty of them, because it must have taken quite some time to get to where you were with the 125.00 earnings.. Does this happen a lot on the different money earning sites?? I am new and only do BT and Mylot but so far, so good on these sites..

I had just started being active on the Netwinner Central Forums when I heard this. I had been on NW since around Sept. I read in the forums about the email, so I checked my bulk mail folder and there it was. I was really bummed. They just redeemed the points and doubled them. Which is kind of dumb since now all you can do is enter them into raffles. So now I have an extra 50,000 points (I redeemed for a $25 Barnes & Noble card, so when I got points back they were doubled like the email said) and all I can do is sit around and enter them into the drawings. I am not playing Netwinner anymore. I am, however, entering all of my 94,000 points into drawings. Might as well use them up. I am so disappointed about not getting the Barnes & Noble gift certificate. I'd been waiting for it since November.
