FYI - The “Scavenger Hunt” doesn’t seem to be working with Firefox. I had to use the Google Chrome browser…

Thanks for the tip, @mmaldonado ! @TerriDawn21, maybe try another browser if the “Scavenger Hunt” section isn’t working for you? (Worked fine for me in MS Edge.)

Hi! I mostly lurked in the “Contests and Sweepstakes” forum at FW. Are there plans to replicate that forum at PhW?

Sorry for the delayed reply @kateivan. Yes, it’s been on our to-do list from the start and @dangeRuss commented earlier today that he plans to create it soon.

Yay, thank you, I see the new area and will talk more with the members of my group about migrating here.

I tried “3” as well but for some reason it’s still wonky. I would think that the single arrows would take me up or down by 3’s, and it doesn’t. And then it only takes me up so far before it stops. I think that has to do with the post number at the end of the URL. I’ll fiddle about with it some more but for now will take a break from the testing aspect and post some content.

I finally discovered the page counter “hiding” at the bottom of the Welcome FW Refugees thread.

Now I “get it” and pagination works exactly as it should.

And I am laughing at myself. I do need new glasses.

@auntlinda said in Sacramento Bee Loyalty Club (aka BeeBuzzPoints):

Do you know if this site will create pages

Yes, you can go to “Settings” and check the box labeled “Paginate topics and posts instead of using infinite scroll” and choose the number of posts per page. I tried that and then went to the Welcome FW refugees thread which has a lot of activity. That made a pagination area appear in the bar across the top of the page, showing the numbers and single arrows to page up and down and double arrows to zoom to the first or last post. The view seems wonky to me though. Maybe I need new glasses.

It worked! This might be the deciding factor for some people. This site works and feels very much like FragileDeal but with the pagination option it’s a little more similar to FatWallet…sort of like the best of both worlds in my opinion. I just set my “posts per page” to 3 so I could see how the pagination works and it looks great.

Yay, glad making that settings change worked for you. I tried “3” as well but for some reason it’s still wonky. I would think that the single arrows would take me up or down by 3’s, and it doesn’t. And then it only takes me up so far before it stops. I think that has to do with the post number at the end of the URL.

Hello BeeBuzz folks. I’d never heard of this site before today, but looking at what it offers, it seems to apply to an internal discussion we are having about where GPT threads should go. In your opinion, is BeeBuzzPoints a GPT site, or a contest and sweepstakes site?

By GPT, I mean sites were you get paid to (view video, take surveys, click links to partner sites, test products, play games, do tasks, etc. You can then cash out points for rewards like gift cards, merchandise, magazine subscriptions, airline miles, charity donations etc.

The title and the tags on this thread mention a contest, but the link indicates no contest with a defined start and end date, just ongoing activities that sound like a GPT site. How would you guys define BeeBuzzPoints and why? TIA.

We are looking for a new home for activities heretofore conducted on the BeeBuzzPoints thread at FatWallet’s Contests and Sweepstakes forum. We have been exploring options like Facebook groups and such, and PhW is a contender. So we started a thread in the complementary subcategory here on PhW to try to get a sense for usability. The ability to paginate threads has given PhW an edge.

As to what we do … BeeBuzzPoints is our local newspaper’s reader loyalty program. Our newspaper participates in Triton Media’s sweepstakes program (as do a number of radio and TV stations across the nation). Each participating media outlet has its own member site. Each member must reside in his/her respective media market. Members can earn points for performing tasks like responding to questions where the answers are printed in that day’s newspaper (e.g., what is the headline of the 2nd story on the left side of the “local news” page). Those points are then redeemable for entries into contest drawings. These are contests/sweepstakes because of the element of chance. You do not simply redeem X number of points for an item assigned a point value of X. Rather, you throw your NNN amount of points in the hat with everyone else who wants to win that specific item and hope that one of your entries is drawn. Like electronic raffle tickets. Sometimes the sweeps are national (across all the participating media markets) where you can enter a drawing for, say, an Amazon Tap. Sometimes they are local, where you could enter to win a pair of passes to a movie screening at a local theater). Current contests may be found at http://buzzpoints.sacbee.com/asp2/contests.aspx?status=current where the start and end dates are defined for each.

I’ve never heard of GPT, but you’ve piqued my interest. I do participate in Microsoft Rewards which seems like the bunny slopes compared to what I saw when quickly Googling “GPT”.

@mikk1

Thanks for the comment, which I see was downvoted?? (Not by me, though I imagine it could be because “agreed” might not meet the community guidelines.) Am I correct in assuming that userids are displayed for upvotes, but not for downvotes to help avoid conflict? Or am I missing something? And if this is answered in the FAQ or elsewhere, please don’t hesitate to tell me to go look there.

@kateivan

Thank you for your help. Much appreciated.

I can’t get to Taurus742 listing Sacramento Bee Loyalty Club(aka BeeBuzzPoints his page 2

This post https://phatwalletforums.com/post/4563 might help you out …

Another option might be to click @taurus742’s name to take a look at her profile, which displays all of her posts (when I click her name, her posts are sorted with the most recent first, but that could depend on your settings). Her current master list is about the 6th post from the top. There seem to be a number of ways to access info on this site, including following other users and “watching” threads to get notified of new posts. Lots to explore!

Stuff on the new site:

Daily Quiz = Branches and leaves / Stephen Hawking
Submit a Code – Daily Code Word = SNOWMAN (same as today’s Buzz Word)

Do these videos on the mobile site before you empty out your trivia questions (or the links won’t work) but after you’ve maxed out video watching on the desktop site [posting a sampling for posterity as all the videos were on the mobile site again this morning]

Here’s an additional tip:

toooldtooslow said in Sacramento Bee Loyalty Club (aka BeeBuzzPoints):

[Y]ou should always open (watch the video…in a new tab…note menu selection still open in original tab) in the online website before you close it in the mobile site. I have found for the last week Health & Wellness video selection in the online website will allow you to fast watch. You can click back and forth between two videos and get another 100 watched videos for an additional 50K pts in under 2 minutes when you find the perfect video that lets you do this trick. Does not work if mobile site is cleared first and then you try to open the same video in the online site.

where do you find the garden question and the sunday travel question thanks, HAGD [and the OnTv bonus}

The Bee is no longer posting these types of questions, but sometimes you can earn the points anyway by entering “—” in the “submit a code” field on the mobile Bee Buzz Points site (as described in my post from today where you are mentioned)
