Does anyone use Viggle?

[NachoProblem]

I saw this on MM about a month ago and I am obsessed. If you have an iPhone, you can "check in" to shows and watch ads and get points. Points can be redeemed for gift cards. I have $30 word of E-gift cards to sephora right now and I'm about halfway to another $10. They also have gift cards to gap/ON/BR and some other random places.... for now at least. They seem to rotate through them. Just a PSA so people can get some free shit. I love me some free shit.

[pixy0stix]

I l.o.v.e. free shit!

So it's legit? Can you keep points for later if the gc up isn't one you would use?

[futurepivko]

I do! I've claimed a Redbox gift code, a CVS gift card (I Used today actually) and a Chilis gift card. It is legit. They recently raised the point amounts though.

Of course. I always seem to clue in just after the good deals are taken away.

Anyway, I'm downloading it now.

[natablue]

I do! I haven't cashed unfit anything yet, just accumulating points. I'm totally addicted and I love it! I'm thinking of cashing in for some Sephora gift cards soon.

I was 98% sure this was some type of vib at the first glance of the name.

You can just keep the points until you feel like using them for something. I've been using the app for about two months, bit haven't cashed in for a anything yet. They do change up the GC offerings once in a whole.

[NachoProblem]

Def legit. You can stock up on points if you want. In general, it's like 9,000 points for $5 gift card, 18,000 for $10, etc. Some companies have $5 ones, some companies have $10, and some have $25. So I've redeemed 3 sephora GCs at $10 a piece. They send a code to your email, so i'm planning to use them online. I'm not sure how to use them in stores though, maybe someone else can explain that to me haha

PS. Pixy - I knew you'd be all over this. You're almost as crazy about point programs as me.

It's not accepting my sign up. I'll have to figure this out when the kid goes to sleep.

This may be what gets me to switch to the iphone. That and the fact that I've been through 6 different Droids in under a year.

Boooo is it only on iPhone?? . I want some free shit too!

I'm not sure my Droid is such a POS, I'm afraid to check. It has issues with Twitter and FB.

[natablue]

I think it's in beta for Android, so I'm not sure how well it works, but it's available. I have an iPhone.

I use it on my Droid without a problem. The first week I used it, I went a little nuts and accumulated a ton of points, which caused Viggle to suspend my account for "suspicious activity." I had to contact customer service before they'd let me claim my reward. Other than that though, it has been great!

That's totally weird -- the droid version disappeared from Play and from the Viggle website! But it's still on my phone and working fine. I guess because it's in beta they are still working out some kinks? I did have to get a new version both yesterday and a few days ago...I would guess it'll be back up again for Droids soon...?

I don't know. I went to redeem my points and it didn't go through, so I contacted customer service, which sent me an email saying: "I am sorry but due to your activity with one of the advertisements, your account was flagged by our system as suspicious. A ban was placed on your account to prevent you from redeeming rewards and you stopped getting points. Your account has been restored and you can redeem now." Then I googled it and discovered that it happens to others too, sometimes for no apparent reason. I'm kind of baffled as to what I did wrong.

[monsterellachz]

Already redeemed for $30 at Old Navy (the gap/old navy/banana cards are for any store). Realized yesterday I could probably use the sephora one towards a GC and use it in store. I'm kinda obsessed. lol

[bimbi284]

So I was able to find a link for the droid beta, but I couldn't get past the provider selection in the sign up thing. Grrrr.

You're lucky. My DH rolls his eyes, especially when I turn to a channel just to check in to get the bonus points. HE DOESN'T GET IT.
