Brad Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Does anyone have any suggestions for things you'd like to be able to redeem your points for? We'll have the GD shirts/stickers/pens, gift certificates and contest entries, but is there anything else you can think of? Hosting accounts? Domain names? Cash/PayPal? What about forum-type things like being able to change someone else's avatar/user title for a day, increased PM limits, access to special smilies, etc...? Someone has to have some creative ideas We have our own ideas & plans but we can always use more :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DigDoug Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 GottaDeal Nalgene water bottle. You can never have enough of those.I still haven't found the perfect Nalgene bottle. I've bought the knock-offs: mouth is too wide (good for putting in protein shake mix, but bad for drinking) and then I got a couple at Walmart with this ice pack you can put in it from the freezer (it's like trying to suck on a baby bottle). Want some? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted September 20, 2005 Author Share Posted September 20, 2005 If we were to put, for example, an MP3 player in the store, would you rather have it be for a high amount of points that the first person that can afford (and wants it) can get it, or would you rather have the contest entry method where you can spend a few of your points for a chance at winning it? Or do some each way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want some? LOLBuy the wide-mouth bottles with the insert to narrow the drinking path. That way you can put full ice cubes in or mix energy / protein drinks and not spill all over yourself.

mrn8 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Yeah, I would say go with the contest method, also. It makes it more interesting, and you don't have to pass up other drawings to save for one thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outnumbered Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I would say some each way. I agree. Actually I think it'd be ideal to have several of a certain item, so the first several people can get one, like you do with the t-shirts and stickers. Then have contest entries for the "big" (i.e. expensive) things. But it's your money being spent LOL so I understand if you don't want to be buying multiples of various items. But I like the idea of having a few things that are simply available for the taking, so that not everything involves us using up our points just for a chance at something we didn't wind up winning. Although if the prize is something I really want, I'd probably risk it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigJeff Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I like the contest idea for big items. I don't post much on forums, though, so I probably won't accumulate a lot of GottaPoints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
