Qype £50 virgin voucher

ThinkingOfLinking

Am I the only person to have completed the challenge not to have had an email or a reply to the email they sent?

I can't help with this one as I had my Virgin email - I didn't get an email for the Amazon challenge though but was still paid.

Are you absolutely sure you've finished the challenge? Why not do a few more reviews to make sure and then see if the email comes? Sometimes you might think you've donea first review but someone else has already done the same thing uner a slightly different name....

I have done 97 for this challenge, 30 of which are first reviews.

I need to do 7 more then I've done 50 first reviews. Getting very bored of it but £50 will buy a fair bit of virgin vie make up for me and my mum so it'll be worth it.

I've still got £15 worth of reviews to do. Managed to get loads done at work this morning though as didn't have much to do (didn't tell the boss that though!) I think I might just get them finished in the nick of time. I'm running out of places to review, as I did the Amazon challenge too.

PLEASE NOTE: Only users who signed up to Qype before midday on 18 November 2008 and hit the required number of points before 11:59pm on December 31 2008 will be eligible to receive the Insider rewards listed below. We'll be introducing bigger and better Insider goodies in the new year, so watch this space.

It doesn't say whether they will backdate rewards for those for "qualified" after 31 December 2008 but before new packs are announced.

This applies to all of the 'goodies'- so the insider, 500 points and the ninja.
It says at the bottom of the link:

A quick note: The Insider program was set up to reward those Qypers who contribute the most to our growing community of reviewers.

So the thing is called the 'insider program' and thats what they mean by the insider goodies.

A bit futher down it also says:
'Unfortunately, at this time, we are unable to send Insider packages to countries outside of Europe.'

It wouldnt make sense if they could send the 500 points and the ninja goodies but not the insider ones. So it applies to all of them.
Im pretty sure when there was the thread with the amazon voucher a member of Qype came on the board and said as of (whatever date) they wont be sending out the goodies.

One other thing, ive got all three packs now and i didnt get the frisbee because they said they were running low on stock and didnt have enough left, so i think they've prob run out of all the stuff.

I'll try and find the amazon thread to double check for you, but im almost certain thats correct.

Ok I got this reply form rob:-
Hi
We’re in the process of phasing out our current line of Qype merchandise, and the deadline for getting your hands on stuff has been set for New Year’s Eve 2008.

This means that those people who signed up to Qype before 12pm on 18 November and reach 250/500/1000 points before 11:59pm on 31 December will be eligible to receive the current line of goodies.

So if you’re still a few points shy of one of the levels then you have around two weeks to get there. For everyone else there’s another massive competition coming in the new year.

Don’t worry if you qualify for some of the goodies and don’t receive them before the end of the year as we’ll be clearing the backlog in January.
Thanks a lot.
Rob

(Rob being Rob Hinchcliffe who works for Qype).

I agree it is misleading and they REALLY should take that part of the website down

Re the insider goodies, my family all did the amazon challenge at the same time and we've had 1 pack out of 3 arrive a few weeks ago now, the 4th person signed up too late to qualify for any insider goodies (but got the amazon voucher).

I decided not to go in for the virgin challenge, the prize wasn't worth the effort for me, and it's interesting to see how small this thread is compared to the qype amazon one(s).

Wishing you all lots of luck in getting all your reviews done on time though.

I still haven't had my packs from when I did the Amazon challenge:(
