The Superpoints Network Official Blog

We did this at the beginning of the summer and people loved it.  And we’re doing it again!

By this Friday August 12 at 3pm CST, make or take a picture of something you’ve bought (or intend to buy) with your Superpoints redemptions. We want to see you in the picture!

By you, we don’t necessarily mean you, your face, your body, whatever.  We do want to see your beautiful faces, but not everyone wants to put their face online.  You can use a camera or webcam, you can use Photoshop, you can draw a picture and scan it, you can even use MS Paint if you want!

And this time we’re having not one, not two, but three prizes.

Third place:  100 Superpoints

Second place:  250 Superpoints

First place:  500 FREE Superpoints!

We are looking for creativity, effort, and something that overall represents how awesome Superpoints is.  Judging will happen Friday afternoon after the 3pm CST deadline and is up to our fabulous Superpoints staff!

Use our social media to get it to us – tweet us a link (@Superpoints) or send it to us on Facebook.  No e-mails, please!  We can’t wait to see your results!

Do you plan on entering?  Let us know in our comments!

You have abuot 48 hours left to get your video submissions in for 5,000 free Superpoints to the winner.  See the entries below!

Superpoints had tons of contest entries the past two Fridays, and we have given away many free points for the hard work of our Superpoints users.

For our next contest, we wanted something big.  Something exciting.

Something worth 5,000 Superpoints.

And it’s here!

Next Friday, 6/24, submit a video either on our Facebook wall, YouTube, or by e-mail (you may need a file sharing service like yousendit.com) with a tutorial on how to get started with Superpoints, use it, and your own experiences with it.

The more personal, the better, but you can have all of the freedom you want with this.  The only restriction is that it needs to be under 1 minute and 15 seconds.

If you’ve never made a video before, you can do it video-blog style where you talk into a webcam, you can animate it with flash, you can have parts with you and parts with screenshots, and you can use software like Windows Movie Maker or iMovie which comes with most computers.  Of course if you have more advanced software like Sony Vegas or Final Cut Pro, edit away!

The winner will not only win 5,000 Superpoints but the video will be featured on a “welcome” page to the Facebook as well as our official website.

We are SO excited to see our member’s creativity on this project.  Submissions begin NOW and will be accepted until 3pm on Friday 6/24. Winners should be posted by 5pm 6/24.  And, you can submit multiple videos, which will increase your chances of winning.

And… action!

Congratulations to Deanna and Mitchell for winning our second Friday FreePoint contest!

Superpoints had users submit electronic photos where they were holding items that they have purchased with their redemptions.   Users could e-mail us the photo or post it to our social media to become eligible to win.  Facebook gave overwhelming response to Deanna’s Zumba purchase and it was one of the coolest ones to our staff.  Deanna will receive 200 points.  Congratulations!

The criteria were that you had to be in the picture and have enough redemption to actually purchase the item you’re referring to.  For this, we chose a second runner up – Mitchell, who is new to Superpoints!  He has already purchased the iPod headphones but will hopefully soon have enough points to purchase a new iPod too.  Congratulations on your 50 free Superpoints Mitchell!

If you didn’t win this week, don’t fret.  We plan on having something fun much more often in the future, so stay tuned next week to hear what the contest will be!  Your photos will also be featured next week in the blog.

We love our blog readers and our Facebook users!  Until next week!

Who loves Fridays?  Superpoints loves Fridays!

This week we are implementing our second Friday Free Point Contest on our Facebook page.  Be sure to go “like” it and to participate!

Between now and June 10, 2011 at 3:30pm CST, post a photo of yourself holding something you’ve purchased or won from Superpoints rewards.  It must be a real photo of you this week to win!  The coolest purchase will win 200 FREE Superpoints credited to their account.

Be sure to post a photograph, the reward you claimed, and the item you are holding!

Oh… but that’s not all.  If you haven’t cashed out yet, you don’t need to worry.  Post a photo of yourself referring to what you plan to buy with your rewards and 50 FREE Superpoints will be awarded to the most unique purchase!  Make sure your photo has “Superpoints” somewhere in it, be it you holding a sign at the store or computer generated.  If you don’t want to show your face, you can hold the item in front of your face, turn your back to the camera holding your prize in the air… it’s your chance to get creative!

Last week’s photos were great.  We can’t wait to see this week’s!  Results will be announced Friday afternoon, so get your photos in by 3:30pm CST!

Congratulations to Erin on Facebook for winning our first Friday Free Points Contest!

Superpoints had users submit electronic photos where they were holding signs saying how much they loved Superpoints.  It was a last-minute idea by our staff that brought an overwhelming response.  Users could e-mail us the photo, post it to our Facebook wall, or tag us in a photo to become eligible to win.  The most creative one was selected, and Erin will be credited 100 free points to her account.  Congratulations!

Because there was an overwhelming response with such short notice, we had to give an honorable mention 100 points as well.  The response on Facebook to this submission was impressive.  Congratulations to June on Facebook for having such a creative spin-off of a Chick-Fil-A ad!

If you didn’t win this week, don’t fret.  We plan on having something fun much more often in the future, so stay tuned next week to hear what the contest will be!  Your photos will also be featured next week in the blog.

We love our blog readers and our Facebook users!  Until next week!

Hi SuperPoints world!

We are proud to announce our first Friday Free Points Contest!  Tomorrow, our contest will be a Facebook photo contest.  It’s simple.

Take a photo of yourself holding a sign that says “I Love Superpoints!” any way you want – on a webcam, with a digital camera, etc. – and either post it to our Facebook wall (URL:  http://www.facebook.com/superpoints), or post it on your own page tagging the Facebook page in the photo!

The most creative one posted by 3:30pm CST will receive 100 FREE SuperPoints.  Your sign can be as simple or crazy as you like, and you can be as simple or crazy as you like.  Just know that every entry counts!  It could be you!

We are so excited to see the submissions tomorrow.  So use tonight to think up some great ideas, and post away!
