Sorry if this is old news but many of you may be interested to see what i just got in the e-mail.
Dear Jon,
We are writing today to announce the latest changes at PointClick. As you have noticed, our shopping model has been changing. As of October 2nd, it will change into its final form. We hope you will find the new approach inviting and interesting. We have worked to improve the look and feel of the site, and the new approach to rewards will allow us to give you the opportunity to profit more than before. The changes you will notice next week will include the following:
Beginning October 2, you will be earning POINTS for surfing and shopping. You will no longer be offered cash for surfing, nor will stores carry percentage discounts. We will no doubt still offer cash incentives from time to time, but generally points will be what you earn.
The points you earn will automatically enter you into sweepstakes where you can win cash and prizes. The more you surf and shop, the better your chances are of being a winner. PointClick will announce daily, monthly, and quarterly winners. (This is not like a lottery, where there may be no winner. Every sweepstakes has a winner.)
In October you will have the opportunity to win one of 60 BIG SCREEN TV's and $50,000 in cash. In addition, you'll be entered automatically in the quarterly drawing for $100,000, which will be awarded on December 31, 2000.
Any money you currently have in your account will be available for you to spend as you shop through December 31, 2000.
You still will be able to save 5% on specified sites through September 29. So if you've been waiting to make a purchase and you want to save an extra 5%--now is the time!
You've asked for a larger selection of sites to shop. We've added 150 new brand name sites in the last 60 days and continue to add sites daily. If availability of product is important to you, our site has just improved dramatically.
Sounds like they were just loosing money, hmm, I could have told them that.
