I Had To Write A Letter- It Was Getting To Me

lynnmm · 06-10-2008

Hi

This is bzzagent Lynnmm with a big problem. I have been a loyal agent for a while now; going to the frog ponds, spreading the word and making sure I bzz all my campaignes. My problem is you are in Boston and I'm in Ottawa. Doesn't seem like a problem? Well everything you do is geared to USA not Canada. I have only received a water bottle from you because I was saving my points for something very rewarding like an ipod. I had enough points to 'buy' the ipod before it disappeared. Now that all of my points have been converted I only have 5800 after buying a key. For 5800 you can't get much and certainly not an ipod. I figures I'd suck this up as I could get a $25.00 Walmart card then I could get a reward. Wrong! The Walmart card is only for USA. So I looked around a little more and found the Shell card. Wrong again! USA. All of the other cards I would be interested in I can't use. So what am I suppost to do? I worked hard for those points and now they are useless.

Please advise Lynn Morrison

Damn that sucks Lynn, i noticed that too, it's why i don't really bother much with bzzagent :<

Good for you, let us all know what their response is. I have 3,882 MyPoints and don't know what I can use them for either. Everything I see is for U.S.A. I also shot them off an e-mail to ask what can we use in Canada? Thanks for the post and keep us updated.

You go girl. Im an agent to and I cant get anything either. I just take the free stuff and run. I hope they do something for you. Its such a waste of you time isnt it, not to get anything in return.

awaite · 06-11-2008

good for you!!! All of my points disappeared completly

Go for it! It sucks that all of the "details" are only made visible until it's too late for us already :(

truebluetara · 06-11-2008

thanks for the heads up i joined not to long ago so now i will not put any effort into it WHat a rip off in my opinion if they are going to let canadians like us sighn up then they darn well better make rewards that work for us too.. no offense to any one here that is all for the US but its just like the Americans to get rich off of our backs or in this case get free labour without any reward!!
