How difficult to get gift cards at RTV?

[Disneefun]

For all those who do RTV, how difficult is it to redeem your points for gift cards during the "shopping sprees?" I see that only a limited number of cards are available for each spree and I'm just wondering if you show up at the appointed time, how much competition is there? Has anyone been unable to get a gift card that you wanted during a spree? I have enough points and when a card I can use comes up, I plan to try to get it through the spree and I'm just wondering how much trouble this will be. TIA.

I haven't cashed out of RTV in a long time, but I do know that Dizneenut has cashed out quite a few times there and she has received gift cards from them! I will PM her and let her know about this post!

I have been sucessfull. However, sometimes if the card you want is the $10 one that they only have like 15 of to begin with, you may not always be sucessful. The best way is to keep letting the page reload right before its time, so you get in right as it opens. Let me know if you have any questions.

Its not easy getting the cards, but if you keep trying, eventually you'll get one.
I always log in about 5 minutes before the time the rewards come up and just keep refreshing. As soon as they come up, be quick about clicking on what you want and confirming your order. I have had more success in getting the $5 and $10 rewards, but I have been lucky and received a few $25 cards.

Just hang in there and keep trying. If you have any more questions, just PM me.

Good luck!

I wouldn't say it is easy, but it is possible. You really have to stake it out and it is easier to get the $5.00 than the $10.00. That said I have rec'd $10 Olive Garden, $10.00 Barnes and Noble, $5.00 gas, $5 Quiznos, and 2 $5 pizza hut from about the past year. Good luck!

Once you cash out, how long does it take to receive the gift cards?

http://www.rewardtv.com/play/default.jsp Watch your favorite TV programs, answer questions the next day about the show and commercials played durin it, earn points. Points can be redeemed for prizes or TV Guide subscriptions.

You need to be logged in and waiting for the Shopping Spree a few minutes prior to the window opening. Keep refreshing your browser until the time of the spree, then select your prize.

I often missed opportunities because I can't get online from home in time to sign in and I can't access the site from work because it's blocked.

I requested a $10 Staples gift card on 12/28 and it was delivered 1/3. The message when I redeemed points said it could take 4-6 weeks, but I had it in less than one.

Most within 7 days, some have taken two weeks. They state 4-6 weeks on the website,but I've never waited that long.

The rewards usually come in about a week, occasionally 2 weeks.
