I noticed that they were out of Starbucks rewards, so I was waiting for them to restock. I looked today and they raised the price from 9000 points to 12500 points. I think this is it for me. Anyone else quitting?
Yes. It kind of blows now. They jacked the prices and lowered the bonus points - most shows are only 50 or 75 points. I'm just waiting for Amazon or Barnes & Noble to come back in stock, then I'm cashing out and quitting.
ETA: This post prompted me to check for reward updates, and Amazon is back in stock. Ahhh. I can quit now. Thanks!
Definitely. I was also waiting for Starbucks gc to restock, expecting them to go up to 10,000 points per a Viggle tweet. Now I have to earn 2000 more pts to get my last gc. Over it!
50 points for a show blows - especially when they got rid of the commercials for extra points. I keep waiting for the Gap/Banana gift certificates to come back. Once they do, I'll cash out and then won't come back.
I don't get the point of quitting. It's not work to just check in if I'm watching tv anyway. Yes, it may take longer to get a GC but it's still easy and free money.

Just a matter of preference; to me it's just not worth having to remember to check in to earn a GC super slowly. I don't normally watch a lot of the bonus point shows so for me it would be even slower. Although I will probably check back when the fall season starts to see if they have higher points or more ads or other rewards.
I agree with dexteroni. It seems like too much to remember to earn a few points each time. The Olympics were awesome because I could rack up the points with the viggle play along.

Yeah, the Olympic play along was what got me the points I needed for the Amazon card. There is still play along all this week with various HBO shows, but it's still a lot of distraction to answer a question every few minutes. And when it's a show I don't watch, like Girls or Game of Thrones, I have to google every answer, and then I'm barely paying attention to the show I'm watching.
We were wondering if things might change back after some people dump their Olympics points. We ended up with 40,000 pts by checking in and occasionally doing trivia then.
I really want an Old Navy gift card, but I'm curious to see how much they jack up the price. It used to be 18,000 pta for $10. Looks like $10 is now 25,000 pts for other rewards.
