News with ARS Reward Store

09-15-2004, 12:10 PM

I copied and pasted this from the ARS forum
I am pretty pissed off

[QUOTE KEVIN / ARS]

We have been addressing the rewards issue internally and have came up with the following actions we will take. Heres the deal

1. All Gift Cards in the order queue will be removed and 100% of the points will be transferred back to your account. Its not all bad news...

2. Every single order currently in the queue will be placed BEFORE Oct1. Karen is now entirely working on rewards, no more hang ups or slowdowns. So she can now keep up with the demand.

3. Anything ordered between now and Oct 1 should be fulfilled by Nov 1. We'll try our best to keep the wait below 30 days going forward.

We apologize for the delay that has happened, but as of today, those delays will be gone and the rewards store that you came to love will be back.

Worst case scenario here is for ppl that had gift card orders placed. I know you have been waiting for months to get them. Just think of it the best way you can, if we kept the store in the same shape as its in now you would have had to wait probably longer than Nov1 anyway. So if you are one of these people, Im hoping that overall this will be a quicker solution.

Damnit.

As soon as ARS got their things together I was going to cash in all my rewards points for all my sponsors for Best Buy gift certificates and combine those with my Best Buy rewards zone stuff and pick up something really sweet.

Guess that alters my plans a bit :/

Where's the timeline pic?

Anyways webgurl if you just go to the website of whatever place you were going to get the gift cards from and e-mail Karen and tell her when you ordered the gift cards she will get items out to you ASAP. I did this yesterday and my orders got sent out today.

Also Anything order before Sept 8th will be sent out by Oct 1st and anyting ordered by Oct 1st will be sent out by Nov 1st. Of course like I said just e-mail Karen and tell her that you had gift cards ordered on the 31st of May and send her a lsit of what you want you'll probaly have them sent out by Friday.

webgurl,

We have already stated in the same thread you copied from that you dont have to wait in Line if you previously had a gift card order, you just email your new order to Karen and get it placed.

I used to read it and post there, but then webmasters left ARS and the board became almost dead. People were speculating how long ARS will last.

I will check it again now though

But I hope the ARS 4 Real sites won't be closed this time.

Well, can someone reply here if the current ARS 4 Real and Champ sites will be closed...I don't have time to read that whole thread now.

It just seems kinda funny what they are doing while chanigng the sites, payouts, business model.
I am not sure how long ARS 6 will last.

$40 per su is very cool, but the current reality sites pay only $25...so how is it possible that the new ones will be so much better?

Or will we hear few months after ARS 6 launched that $40 per trial is too much and they have to lower payouts again.

I am loyal to ARS - they sent me the first check and offered the best support throguh the years, but as many others i start to having some doubts how stable their business model is.

They may have great people behind the program ( Marc De ) and good financial backing, but I prefer sponsors who are as reliable but more stable like f.e Silver Cash.

I don't use ICQ anymore.

Placed my order on June 11th and still not processed. The order is a Palm/GPS to go with it. By the time i get it there are two new types out or something.

When you order an item in such a fast moving market a 3 month delay is not cool

All order placed before Sept 8th will be placed by Oct 1st. I orderd something on May 20th and it was placed last week.

Marc De said now that they got rid of the gift cards order will be placed much faster.

As far as the 4 real sites

All the sites (outside of HSN) will be run by Storm Media, a new company that is operated by Becky That will help a ton.

CHAMPS will become just AVP.

polish - we're not closing any sites. All existing 4 Real sites and Adult Movie Matrix will go from $25 to $40 and we'll be adding 20 Standard Niche sites.

We've been quietly planning / observing / calculating for the last 6 months and we'll show everyone that we're still committed to being the BEST!

This new generation of ARS is coming in 3 Phases. Phase I is a back to basics (and competitiveness) and the next 2 Phases will be continued build up with the launching of some innovative consumer products that will be associated to our core business, adult.

I received the camera I ordered on May 20, today. It was a long wait, but worth it.

Props to ARS for doing what they can to get caught up!

Listen if you read MY posts there what I posted was much worse than anything you have. Like I said I e-mailed Karen 2 days ago with my list and she sent me a reply in less than 24 hours and my items are already ordered. You'll get your item sent out as if you still had your place in the queue.

The cancellation of the gift cards was announced on the 8th. I had an item ortder on May 20th that was finally porcesed on Sept 7th adn so iwas hoping my gift cards would be sent out the next day and I find I had all my points I used onthe gift card back in my account. Yeah i was pissed and I posted some not so nice thing about ARS, Marc and Karen and anyone else I percieved as kissing thier ass on this issue. Anyways I got my feelings out of the way and there is nothing you can do about it but to make a list of what you want and e-mail Karen and tell her that is your list for the replacement of gift cards. I can't e-mail her up your account. And if I did she certainly wouldn't give me any info on it. At least I hope she wouldn't.
