Shopswell, anyone?

Does anybody else use Shopswell? It's effectively Pinterest with a rewards scheme.

I just started today, so no money yet, but I will screenshot payouts. :j

It's a US site and it seems like it's meant to be a cross between Pinterest and a deals site. Doesn't look at a glance like anyone has posted a good deal though.

For example, Just Cause 3 (PS4) says $44.98. At Amazon US it's $42.99.

Sign up, FAQ and About pages have no mention of any rewards.

The blog says "Shop.Share.Win Program" which they later named "Shopswell Rewards" and that states " each month we’re going to give $10,000 back to the Shopswell community based on credits earned for helping others." There's a leaderboard. I can't see that leaderboard without joining, but it's hard to say how fair the scheme is. Usually you'd be rewarded based on who clicks through from your post and buys something rather than competing to win.

You'd think they'd make it more obvious and use it as a selling point. The blog suggests they're quite proud and happy with the idea yet the rest of the site, including the description of what the site is, has no mention of it.

Still, the really important part on that page is this:
"You must be 18yrs or older and a US resident to be eligible for rewards."

Most people on here are from the UK. Your post says location Glasgow. Sorry, but you won't be posting any screenshots because you're not going to get a single payout.

Ick. Didn't notice it was for US residents only.
