wow guys i just signed up like an hour or a little longer ago and i went back and checked my friends list and there are 60 people who want to be my friends.. do you guys accept them all ?

Yes, accept them all. Remember to only do 50 per day since that is the max you can get points for. Accepting 50 friend requests gives you an easy 500pts. Requesting others to be your friend gives you 6 pts per request. hth

I wasn't aware there was a limit on friend requests either. I know I have accepted more than 50 friend requests in one day and received points for all of them.

 

[Deb_in_VA]

My points have always stopped crediting at 500 pts. However, when requesting new friends, there doesn't seem to be a limit.

Here's a couple of good hints that was shared with me and I hope it will help you earn quicker. You max out at 1500 points per day, but chat is 100. Save chat for the very last thing. Make sure you don't go over 1499 pts though. I try to come in about 3-4 pts under the 1499. You will still get your 100 for chat, which makes the points potential just a little higher.

I used this tip for a while and thanks for sharing it. However, it no longer works. I made sure to hit 1499 last night and then did chat. I never got the points and at first, I just thought that perhaps I hit 1500 before chat w/o realizing it. Then today, while exploring the site, I found where they now give us a point breakdown on the "my boomertowne points page" I had never seen this before. Anyway, for last night, it showed points obtained for chat - 1. I guess I won't be saving chat for the end anymore.

I just updated the user list. Hopefully I got everyone's info correct. Let me know if I need to change anything. Or if I missed anyone.

There is now!

The extra points stopped crediting about a week ago. I just try to hit the 1500 pts now.

Yes, I noticed this stopped last week too. I guess too many people were exploiting the loophole and BT caught on. . .it was good while it lasted!

Wow look......for me, it's more incentive to do the scavenger hunt each day

Scavenger Hunt Winner

 

[carmie3377]

Wow, wish I could figure the scavenger hunt out. I've tried a few times and can't find anything so I've given up.

Oh. Me too. I've looked and looked and looked but have not found a single clue. Oh well. Good luck to those that can figure them out.

Try this site: it helps with the scavenger hunt!

On the right hand side in the dark blue horizontal bar there is a link that says "BT Points"; click on it. Then on the left hand side, there is a light blue vertical bar. Under Boomertowne Points there is a link that says "My Boomertowne Points". It will give a breakdown there.

Absolutely! : Check out post # 106 for a list of DISers and their Boomertowne names that you can send friend requests to. And don't forget. . .you get 7 points for each friend request you send!

Well, Saturday began my 9th week since I first cashed out...and no gift card yet. I'll be really bummed if they stiff us like Netloser did. I guess the waiting game will continue. I won't play anymore until I get that first card though. Has anyone else seen any rewards lately? I cashed out on 5/24 and 6/4.

ETA...Right now, I'm on Boomertowne forums. And I'm reading the same excuses for the delay that I used to get from Netwinner. So, I'm not holding my breath while waiting on these gc's.

 

[Trixiezzz]
