Stop triggering my pampers key word alert! From what other SDers have said, these points are practically worthless.

Thank you, we appreciate the code! Pampers Rewards are definitely NOT worthless, especially since they don't charge shipping on rewards gifts.

Thanks!

This might be the dumbest post I've ever read on here, and that's saying something.

Thanks, OP!

thank you for the points!
 

I truly appreciate them! Please keep posting.

Thanks! I too appreciate the post, I'm glad it triggered my pampers alert, i might have missed it otherwise!

See the post I quoted for the dumbest post here. :lol:

400 points gets you a shutterfly 11x14 poster worth $8. This code is 5 points. You would need 80 of them for something worth $8. That makes each code worth about $0.10.
I'm sure there are less valuable things through this program as well.

While the OP is trying to help, posting codes begets posting more codes. After 80 posts, you'll finally get a $8 poster. Winning!

You're correct; not worthless. If redeemed optimally, worth maybe half a cent each. So these 5 points are worth 2.5 cents for a minute of your time. If you could do it for an hour straight, you'd make $1.80 worth of kids' stuff. So it depends how much you value your time.

If anyone ever sees a Sams/Walmart/Other giftcard offered again (as others have reported seeing in the past), I would appreciate it if you would start a thread mentioning it. I was saving up for the big wheel, but since they got rid of that reward, I have nothing I want to spend my 4000 points on.

Regardless of your opinion on how valuable a code is, you are knocking another user and telling them to stop posting helpful deals to others simply because it bothers you and you don't want to use it. Not only is that completely selfish, it also might make other people think twice about posting similar deals that many other members, including myself, enjoy taking advantage of. If you don't/won't use it, that's fine, but simply move along and don't bash others for posting helpful links to others.

You're referring to their ask price. The "worth" would be what you'd be willing to pay in the absence of points for it. Shutterfly products/credits, for those who desire them, can be had free or very cheaply, so I'd guess there are few people who would actually fork over a full $8 for the poster. For anyone who would, your calculation makes sense.

I think that a more reasonable estimation of value would be how much cash you could obtain for the various items if you sold them. Based upon that, the points are likely worth closer to half a cent each, so 5 points is 2.5 cents.

Assuming that's a reasonable valuation, you can ask, "If I didn't spend 10 minutes of my time obtaining 25 cents-worth of these points each month, I'd be 25 cents poorer, but what would I do with the time instead? Call a friend? Catch up on sleep?" I suspect that most people who think through it carefully would choose to spend their time on anything but these redemptions.

Which begs the question... why am I spending two minutes of my time typing this when I'm making $0? Entertainment!

thanks! OP

Thank you!

I agree. These codes basically worthless and this is a very disappointing program. Started collecting points during my first child and you can't earn enough before they get too old to want any of the toys. After a few years I cashed out for one of the magazine subscriptions which we didn't really want in the first place.

After my second child I now throw all these points in the trash. They are not worth the time it takes to enter them. Especially with a box of Pampers wipes, you hardy get any points from entering in the multiple long and hard to read codes.

Using the Pampers forum here and just entering in my own codes from wipes and diapers I was able to save over 6000 in less than 18 months. I got my son the wiggle car. I only have one child and I still have around 1000 points left over.
I am not sure how, with regular diaper use (Oh and following the forums so you can double and triple your points awards) that you could possible NOT get a ton of points.
We are out of diapers but I still enter these points.
Don't be rude because you don't know how to properly use a system.
Thanks OP :) Dont forget to add this into the static pampers forum
The rest of us appreciate it

How many hours would you estimate that you spent reading those codes, loading your browser, entering them, etc.? How much does the wiggle car sell for on eBay?

Pampers Points are are a pretty good argument in favor of abolishing minimum wage laws. As there are many people willing to do this for $1 or $2/hour, clearly there are people who would love to have the opportunity to work for three times that, and yet those jobs aren't permitted.

18 months for something worth $40!? I think recycling cans would net you more.
While I'm a huge fan of free stuff, I value my time a little more than that.

Pampers points are just not worth the time spent figuring out the tough to read letters and entering the code, hoping you didn't typo lest you start all over again. All for < half a cent a point. Truly you've watched all the fresh paint in your house dry if you've moved on to keying these in.

I have no idea how much it is worth, I guess they were around $50 or so when I got it, but I paid for the points when I bought the diapers, why would I throw that away? The same with the mycokerewards program. If I USE the program just like any program (Best Buy rewards, grocery cards rewards, the search engines that pay) I generally bring back in a few hundred a month. I also work full time in statistical analysis, have a husband, a toddler, a house two vehicles paid off and very little debt. I am not sure about the 'hourly wage' it takes me.. maybe 10 seconds to enter these codes as I get them. I normally have a browser open, I like deals. And since I am paying for these programs every time I buy a product I use them, that includes the boxtops for education.
The point is, its no skin off any of your noses, and it seems really rude to put other people down because they take the 10 seconds to enter the codes. The items are nto 'free' per say you are all paying for it. Thank goodness for the people who don't enter codes but buy the product, they keep the program going for the rest of us. :)
I might go 2 hours a week on all of the programs I participate in? Again, remember you ARE paying for these rewards.

I am confused, why would you think I spent 18 full months on this? It took that long to save, at maybe a minute a week. This is like saving pennies.. you save a few whenever and they add up? I am shocked so many people, on Slickdeals are throwing away stuff they pay for!
I will stop I don't normally get in these conversations, I just hunt for deals.

I just hate for any newbies to think they should not take a few seconds a day and get these points, or rewards or whatever. It is a choice, but theres always payout.
I get a ton of free things and I work full time. I make good money and have a nice savings, because I save the pennies :)

You can post them in the giveaway thread or you could trade them in the trading thread.

I'm not saying you should. I'm just curious about the return you get on your time invested.

If you or anyone else is able to set aside the packaging, sit down, examine it, go to the web page, log in, type in the code accurately, submit, and then redeem, all for an average of a second per point, I can certainly see how it would be worth it for some. It's hard for me to imagine being that efficient, and I suspect that many people take a full couple of minutes to go to this thread, obtain the code, go to their account, and redeem 5 points.

The programs would be more robust and permanent if *more* people used them, as it would show the retailer that the cost of administering is worth it.

thanks!

Thanks OP!

Thanks!! Points in any increments appreciated!!! I earned a Starbucks card for me and Mega Blocks for my kid. All shipped for free and free is free!!!!

If I'm going to waste my time entering in the codes then I might as well enter them into the program and get my $.005 worth instead of giving them away for free. :confused:

The whole point is they aren't worth the time it takes to collect and type them in. The deal in the OP is only worthwhile because it is a simple copy and paste.

Now if Pampers would actually includes some offers that are worth more and useful then that would be a different story. A toy for a six month old that takes 18 months to earn isn't very valuable to me.

Can I have ur new points?

Thanks!

See post 27 above yours.

Thanks OP! Free points are always welcome!

I think the comments in this thread quite accurately reflect the value of these points. If you value your time at well under $2 an hour, then these are great for you. If you value your time very much (at all), then you can almost certainly find a better use for it than entering these "free" codes.

Thanks for the points. Might as well keep adding them up.

While it may take a long time to do, you might as well do it - its free and takes literally two seconds to copy and paste.
