Lockerz doesn't give a shit how loyal we are, and we have no reason to be loyal to them.
The Beta was supposed to end in November, but they're so incompetent that they've completely fucked things up every time they try to do a redemption so they have to keep pushing the official launch date back. They've fucked up so much that they don't even have an official launch date any more because they have no idea when they'll be able to get things running properly.
[QUOTE=Evil Potato;19032803]There are plenty of people who got things. They just couldn't serve the thousands of other people who were probably last in line. Everyone needs to stop complaining. Comparing this to a pyramid scheme is fucking dumb by the way. It seems to me that a couple of college guys got an idea, put it into action, and got a bigger result than they expected. I mean for fucks sake, the site is still in beta and I bet you they have at least half a million members if not more. Yes, some people may have been wrongly accused but shit, cut them some slack. A few people are dedicating an ass load of time to give free stuff to people who spend a few minutes a day on their site. For those of you complaining about the site being slow and questions not showing up, you try maintaining a server that gets constantly bombarded by people 24/7.[/QUOTE]
They got cash to send out thousands of PS3s, PSPs, macbooks and not enough money to get a server that actually works?

They promised everyone who got a receipt that they would get their prize.
Then they canceled the vast majority of the orders. Doesn't matter where they were "in line," they made a promise and they broke it.

You ≠ boss of me.

Other than the way that it perfectly explains the way that Lockerz and all these other "free shit" sites work I guess it is pretty stupid.

Except that they make a huge fucking deal in their FAQ about how some chick who used to be a high-level executive at Amazon is their CEO or someshit. This is a marketing scheme, not some site put together by college kids.
As for the rest, please read the thread before commenting.

maybe they don't the official launch date because they got more people on then expected?
Or maybe they can't organize events for shit.
Anybody get their $50 Amazon gift certificate yet?
Whens the next restock?
Nobody knows when the next restock is.
Supposedly sometime in December, but after how bad they fucked up the last redemption, they may not do it this month.
Whenever they finally do restock, they will announce it ahead of time on their facebook the morning before they do it.

I may be a little late but has there been a general redemption yet?
No.
See above comment about their Facebook page.
oh, sorry about that, i had this page loaded in before you made that post
Still waiting for my 50 dollar gift card thingy
Wow, I sent them an e-mail and they actually responded. Granted it's a generic albeit automated response, but still..

Anyone else get this?
[QUOTE=Nintendo-Guy;19036028]Still waiting for my 50 dollar gift card thingy[/QUOTE]
Did everyone get one or soemthing?
No. There were 4 possible outcomes for the last redemption.
1. You didn't get anything.
2. You did redeem something but they fucked up and couldn't keep up with demand so they placated lots of members by giving (this is tentative right now) a $50 USD Amazon gift card.
3. You did redeem something but you got labeled a 'cheater' and had your prize and PTZ taken away.
4. You actually got something.
The list is arranged from the majority to the minority of members.
Based on the comments on their Facebook, I think more people got labeled as "cheaters" than got offered the gift card.
FACEBOOK UPDATE!!!
[quote=Lockerz Facebook] Friday update:1) [b]Amazon gift cards: We are working on getting these to you quickly--please be sure that your info is correct in settings. We'll have an alternative for folks who live in countries with no Amazon affiliate[/b]; 2) After the site was down for upgrades for a period of time this week, we're back up. As a thank you for your patience, [b]you'll receive DOUBLE PTZ for dailies on Sat. and Sun.[/b] Have a great weekend:-)[/quote]
Sounds like good news, if any of it is actually true.
We'll have an alternative for folks who live in countries with no Amazon affiliate
Hm?
I'm guessing just Amazon.co.uk, and the various Euro versions of Amazon.
If your country doesn't have Amazon you're probably boned.
I haven't even bothered to answer dailies/log in for like the past two weeks. I can't even believe I was hoping for my Wii by Christmas, at this rate I probably won't even get one.
I got amazon 100 pound giftcard.
They said they gave it to my instead of the pprize I wanted , so they didnt deduct my PTZ.
But I ordered the 100 pound giftcard haha

win!
EDIT: I did recieve 4 points on my daily today (I'm not a Z-Lister either...)
LOL Lockerz is so fucked up.
But at least somebody might get something?
Did you actually get the gift card already, or did they just promise it to you?
I did , I ordered my stuff already.
UGH.
Trying to answer the daily and keep getting the [i]javascript:void(0);[/i] error.
How long is it going to take them to fix this shit?

[QUOTE=Levakama;19054591]I did , I ordered my stuff already.[/QUOTE]
Awesome! Congrats!
I wish they'd let us here in the USA redeem for Amazon gift certificates. I would much rather have the cash to spend on what I really want than anything else.
[b]How do the Amazon gift cards work?[/b]
Is it tied to your name/address, or is it just a code you put in at checkout?
Just a code.
I still have 863 ptz , when is the next restock?
The restock date is from now on Unknown.
Saturday update: 1) Double PTZ for dailies today; 2) To answer a few questions about the next redemption: It WILL happen in December. We WILL be testing new ways to make it better. You will NOT know the date in advance. Stay tuned:-)
So no one knows the date. It can be today, tomorrow or next week.
1+ for Lockerz, since date announce was their biggest mistake.
Well, remember last time when they announced the dates on Facebook like a week in advance, and then blamed their users for "leaking" the dates?
Ass. Holes.
Does anyone know if when they start redemption I'll see all the PTZ I have cause it only recently started to actually "count"...
Oh fuck this, us europeans will be buttfucked :(
