Some Updates

1. Swagbucks has just celebrated another birthday with another revamp of the site. Personally, I think the old one was better.

2. Wincash247 (no link due to bad practices) has defaulted on the cashout I was due... naughty! I've emailed their support, but considering it uses a gmail address, I'm not hopeful.

3. Superpoints continues to default on everyone's cashout due to their sudden closure, and I have yet to convince a lawyer to take up a class action suit against them.

4. Free Awesome has resumed their practice of emailing free tokens to all members, and now I have $0.50 in my account again. Still a long way from cashout, but we'll see.

5. Ibid2save has returned to their former practices. It was nice while it lasted. Pity I didn't win anything. :(

6. You can still earn free gift cards with InstaGC.

Superpoints Class Action?

I've called class action firm Scott and Scott to see if it's possible to pursue a claim against Ryan Koonce and/or Superpoints LLC with respect to the vanished funds.

In the meantime, you can still get your free amazon gift card fix with InstaGC.

Oh, Internet

With the sudden demise of Superpoints and the disappearance of all the points users may have had with that company, I thought it would be a given that someone would have started a class action lawsuit to force its owner Ryan Koonce to pay up.

So I googled around.

And as it happens, not one of Superpoints' many ripped off users have bothered to file suit.

One of them did, however, start an online petition requesting that Superpoints reactivate to allow users to cash out. Which is totally just as effective.

If you still have points missing, you can call/write/sue Superpoints LLC, which still exists, by clicking the first link of this post to find their phone and address. If, however, you have an urgent need for free gift cards, you can use that link to sign up for InstaGC. Because InstaGC allows you to cash out at $1 rather than requiring you to build up $5 or $25, and because they deliver the gift cards instantly rather than after 7 to 365 business days, you don't have to risk the disappearance of more than a few cents if they suddenly go bankrupt.

Superpoints Is Closed

One of my regular PTC sites was Superpoints. However, visiting superpoints.com now yields only a message that the site is closed because the management company running it has been fired by the company that owns it.

The message claims that pending redemptions will be paid out, however no notice was provided of the impending closing and so all of my points (approximately $15 worth) have now vanished into the void.

The site offers a support email and claims that emails regarding redemptions will be addressed, however as of 14 November, one week after the closure, they have not replied to either of my emails.

If you have lost points when the site shut down, it seems that the owner, Superpoints LLC, is still in business. If the management team does not address your concerns by email, try contacting them here:

Superpoints, LLC
8127 Mesa Drive, B206-258
Austin, TX 78759
(512) 931-4942

Once you've successfully collected your final redemptions from Superpoints, you can continue to earn free gift cards from InstaGC.

Status disclaimer: There is currently no evidence that Superpoints is closed because of AIDS and that meme is already long dead.
