global test market - introducing reward scheme

miwa

I was pleased to have new ways to redeem, but it seems pointless if you have to have 1,000 points or more at a time. What a waste of a good idea, shame on you GTM.

I emailed them as I tried to cash in 867 points for £25 Amazon voucher too, and the reply I got was below which didn't even answer the question!
Hi,
When you have accumulated 1,000 MarketPoints, redeem them and we will send you a check in US Dollars, or your local currency if available. (1,000 MarketPoints is equivalent to USD $50)
so I replied back saying the UK rewards had changed so are we going to be able to redeem 1000 points or less - still awaiting a reply...

I tried the same, the other day. I had enough for a couple of smaller vouchers and assumed with the change we could not do this but got the error saying I needed 1000 points. Why offer £5 vouchers if you can only cash out 1000 points which is way over the £5 makes no sense

I got two payments of 40 quid into my paypal the other day... yay!

My email reply was sent on 2 April - all I don't think I'm gonna get a reply, its really funny tho how we are tempted with all these extra rewards but its crazy you now have to redeem at least 1000 points to benefit, if I do get the courtesy of receiving a reply will keep you updated!:(

I think the minimum threshold for redemption hasnt changed (still 1000 points), but now we can combine different rewards when redeeming those 1000 points. Thats what the smaller rewards are for.

I cant decide if I should choose paypal or the cheque, so following this thread with interest :-)

Paypal will be much faster than waiting for a cheque, but once I've had my cheque I will let you know how much $50 works out That should help a few people (I requested it about a week before the changes so that I would know what was better as well)

My cheque was £32.50 - it might be worth it to watch the conversion rates and cash out when it's high I suppose.

Is Amazon the best value now?

Mine was exactly £32.

I even checked conversion rates from now and when i cashed out using historical exchange raates - was never as low as £32!!!!

So i guess when you cash out does not make difference. It depends when they process it - my cheque was dated 2 days ago but took 5 weeks to come and even if i check the rates - it should work out much more than £32.

Makes no sense to me why its low compared to rates - maybe they take it off for processing etc
