First they posted the redemption is live 5 minutes before they opened up ptzplace. Second I think they did not even have all the prizes. Like they just had gift cards and paypal open. Third my girlfriend got in almost instantly and she told me the prizes were all gone. Fourth most of the giftcards were for U.S only sooo I wonder how a international person would use them. I redeemed yesterday so I could not even watch the prizes disappear. I wonder how many people will quit lockerz after this months redemption episode. anyone get any luck?

I want to add According to me is pure fraud. I am already convinced of that. How could the last three times to grasp overcharging in the first seconds and each time it's over in 20 seconds. It is true that we are probably thousands who are trying at the same time to come in to pick up prize within the first seconds, but still not fair. You must change the system and then only will I return to faith in them. Maybe we should be recharging phase. The US and UK have in one day and in another for everyone else.

They posted that they are going to try and make the redemptions smaller. They also said they caught over 7000 bots, so they are trying to help the users. I have redeemed 2x personally.

Well they are gettin more and more users so its going to get harder. But more users means more money and more prizes.

Oh really trying to help and fix the problem. The bad thing is that every time is getting worse and worse. I hope things get better because I really like my site.

And this time the redemption was beneath criticism. This began to be repeated each time. The last three redemptions grasp them in the first seconds and still nothing. I begin to think that things are set for some or all their deceit is one. Now I have no nerves to collect their points and they are foolish to mock us. I am furious. I got it back today from the outset and did not even let me come in, the system blocks and that was one-month wait. Just horror. Do not know your opinion on Lockerz what it is but I definitely think to stop this site.

well you had to get 100 pointz in the month so if you didnt get that they wouldnt let you in. Its kind of an activity check.

I know we had to make at least 100 points within months. Naturally I did a lot more. Do not let me in overcharging because their system is not stable. How can just go wrong and to put prizes worth so many points.

Hi tap! I've never been lucky in trying to redeem from Lockerz and I am already fed up. I was hoping I could have this redemption at least some cash to Paypal but their PTZ equivalents are getting higher everytime! They should allow us anytime to redeem our prize! If they are offering those prizes then they should give it to us when we reach the PTZ needed for it - at our own convenient time! And not like some hungry wolf waiting for them when to throw away the stake.. You have a point about their U.S. only giftcards. How will that be of use to us? Just sharing how disgusted I've been. :)

Yea once the shop opens every where you can use points to redeem there but I think it costs more.

The EXACT SAME thing happened to my brother just now. We were both extemely angry - I don't do lockerz because of this very reason. Anyway he got in like 1-3 seconds in just like you, we had been waiting for about an hour behind the computer to be there on the dot, refreshing every now and then. I even found myself telling him not to waste his time. He said he is no longer making any points for lockerz, but he will wait for the next redemption. I think that's what everyone should do if they have enough points to get what they're aiming for. What were you aiming for? Did you notice that the imacs were there for quite a few seconds I think it was last to go! Wish we had enough points for that... xD Anyway for now there is no point in making any points for them - what's the point when the same thing will happen over again? I've never taken part in a redemption I was just looking at what he was doing from behind the sofa with my fingers crossed. Lol too right what a fail!! :(

I only get log in points and dailies now. I dont do videos any more. I just try for the cash, since it seems to last longer.

I wouldn't even bother with the dailies, we have enough points no point. I've always called it a semi-scam because it's like the lottery but you have to watch worthless videos to be entered pff

No it was 100 pointz to get in and that's easy. No videos needed.
