Bzzagent -- What kind of bee are you?

[manders13]

I hate this new system BTW

I have no idea what i am. I was a level 4 before, and never got invited to anything :(

I went from tier 3 to busy bee... I kinda feel like I went down...

I don't really like this system. You can only do so much, and can't move up quick like before. I went up 2 tiers in less than a month. Now, it doesn't matter if you participate in 5 or 50 frogs in a month, you move up when you've participated in like 3 in the month. You have to submit 2 reports per campaign and participate in the post campaign survey. It's going to take much longer to do those things. Referrals don't count any longer... Plus, your points don't really get you much. You need some 1000 points to get anything good (a $10 gc) and it's going to take a TON of reports to get that.... Maybe there's a silver lining I'm not seeing... Someone point it out!! PLEASE!!!

I am a sweet bee and it says that is level 6.
I have been a bzz agent since 04 and had never gotten any rewards with the old system. Either I never saw any I liked or they were all gone. So when my point transferred over to the new my-points I had like 12,000 points--so far I have redeemed some for a $50.00 Gap card--Love that store for my DS (age 2). I still have so many points ans I got a gold key with the new system. I filled out a post campaign survey and got 50 points. I am so loving the new system!! Can't wait for some new campaigns!!
Also when you go to my-points you can print out coupons to use for your groceries and that adds point too!!

I never got anything with the old system so I'm liking this one. I'm a Social Bee Level 6 and never went past Tier 2 on the old system. I already had a mypoints account and have been accumulating points by reading emails and printing and redeeming coupons from coupons.com thru mypoints so maybe take advantage of their other point earning oppurtunities in order to gain more points. i think you will find they add up quickly. They also have sweepstakes to earn points in which I won 600 points once so it is fun and easy but I guess it all depends on how good you were doing before. HTH

I'm a honey bee also..

I did like the transfer.. got a some nice giftcards coming with the 10K points that I got transferred into MyPoints from them. I haven't had a campaign in a while tho.. nothing has come thru. I hope they pick up more..

[SchwoomsMom]

I'm not so much complaining about the new points system, as to how they determine your new tier and how you get from tier to tier. It's not quite as fair, how they determine it.

[SchwoomsMom]

I just moved up, and have something like 6 honeycombs before I move up again. Just ended a campaign, so that'll be one, started a new one, so 1 more when I submit 2 reports, then I'll need 3 months of frogpond and the post campaign survey for the new campaign before I go up again...
Really slow, and I don't like it!!!

[lostchick]

Exactly Slow is right. I have nothing to do. No campaigns and I already did 8 frogponds for june. No surveys. Just sitting and waiting. I too felt I went down when the new system went into effect. I was level 4 the new system level 2. But I did just move up to 3 when the aveeno campaign ended. just sitting and waiting.

I just joined bzz age agent. So far so good with my first reports but is there forum that tells what newbees need to know?
