The purpose of this letter is to notify you that due to changes in the company direction, all Perk applications will stop working on December 1, 2019. Over the next month, we will continue to process point redemptions however all Perk Points will expire on November 20, 2019 if not redeemed.

Friendly reminder about the slickdeals trade rules. These rules apply everywhere on the site, including pm.

Note rule #12 in particular: "You can trade an item that has a value over $5 for any other item that has a value of $5 or less. For example, you can trade a Fandango GC (ARV $13.50) for a $5 Amazon CG, but you cannot trade the Fandango code for something over $5 (like a $14 Amazon GC)."

In brief, you are free to trade gift cards of any value but the most that you can ask for in exchange is a $5 gift card. Similarly, the most you can offer someone for their gift card is a $5 gift card. Please feel free to pm a mod if you need clarification.

Be very very careful when switching Viggle devices. My viggle account was just cancelled and that's the only thing I can think of that may have triggered it (switching between iPad Air2 and iPhone 4s...hoping to be able to convert points).

My perk-side devices seem unaffected (I run pop quiz and/or perktv on other devices too).
Quote from VigNYC :
Same here. Just saw the same message when I tried to switch devices to redeem points. I have emailed them but should take a while for them to respond (if they do)
Quote from VigNYC :
Try using the android again. Was just able to access it and check in with no warnings (I tried a little while ago and the app was not opening ). Maybe this issue is a iOS issue when you access the account in more than one device.
I was briefly considering logging into Viggle on my iPhone just to see if I could exchange there, reports are inconsistent for the iPhone5 and I really do not want Viggle on my phone so I doubt I will do it however I appreciate the warnings. A long time ago I used to be able to switch from our Kindle to iPad and when I would log in to one device it would log me out of the other device. I didnt have to log out first. So it wouldnt have occurred to me to do so.

I apologize if this has already been covered. I've read through most of this thread since the switch to Perk and haven't seen anything posted about it. On Viggle, I had more than one account being accessed from the same IP address (multiple users in my household). Is this acceptable for Perk? I couldn't find anything in their FAQ about it. I don't want anyone's account to be canceled for this so I've only accessed Perk on my account for now until I can get clarification. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

Technically, I believe, they are mute on the issue. In practice most hh that have multiple Perk accounts are asked to supply photo ID for each account. I do know that they did want the IDs to have the correct address on them, there were issues with (I think it was) students with Perk accounts living in a house near their school and all had IDs with their parents addresses.

This has been addressed several times in the thread, I dont blame you for missing it as there has been a lot posted here in the last few days, just FYI if you want to go back looking for the talk on what is acceptable to blur out on the IDs and oter relavent info. I havent actually had to do this so the details arent stuck in my head.

Came here to say the same thing.
It's annoying.
You have 2 choices:
Do nothing -or- email support at the address they gave.

I chose to email support.

I wanted to say nasty things to them too...but instead chose to be nice.
Support people get shat-upon a lot for things that really aren't in their control.
Follow Patrick Swayze's Roadhouse advice: be nice (until it's time not to be nice)
nod
Or George Clooney's in From Dusk Til Dawn -- "Be cool. Everybody, be cool."

Was this thru an email or did it show up when trying to get into Viggle on your phone?

Viggle is still freezing on my Galxy s4. So far the other 2 devices (edge+ & LG) are still staying checked in. (Still no vl working). I wish they'd get rid of that dialogue box asking if we're checking into a show or music. I'm still used to Viggle's old way where it started recognizing immediately. Sometimes the screen sits there for several minutes before I remember I need to tell the app what to do now.

Update: never mind, all 3 are still crashing

Just got an email to add perk add-on to chrome or firefox & get 100 pts. This is why I never did perk before being forced to by viggle -- the entire thing sounds hinky & now they're asking to download security vulnerabilities.

As I posted above, my droids are still crashing during viggle check ins. However, just now when I checked back in for the 5th time, instead of the timer starting from the beginning, the timer now comes back at the section it was on when it crashed. I guess this is an improvement ???? At least it seems to show someone is working on the glitches.

Such a ridiculous exchange going on at Twitter right now. They tweet that there is an update coming to fix the lack of exchange button/ blank page bug. I tweet back asking if they mean iOS or Android and also if they have a ballpark timeline. Then I start reading the responses to the post. I am somewhat new to actually interacting with Twitter, I think it was only a couple of weeks ago that I realized that you could see other peoples responses if you clicked on the tweet. I am guessing I am not the only Twi-diot out there so probably others that arent aware of this. Anyway, I click and start reading. I see that someone got the reply of 1 week fro VS. So I keep reading and there are several replies that from VS that make no sense because there arent questions that show up in the stream. Then a bunch of replies to people from VS telling them to reread the answers theyve already given. Another Twitter user pointed out that a lot of the answers just dont make sense because there is no question i.e., context. I tried reiterating that as well as getting a response to my iOS/ Android question. The point that the other twitter user and I were trying to make seems completely lost on them. And I get a "Have you even read our answers" response about the platform question.

So 10 tweets or so later they recommend 2 @things, which I Twi-diot that I am, think are two Twitter handles. Thinking that their solution is just to give me 2 more twitter streams to read rather than answer my question. At that point I am really ready to just commit the rest of my night to needling them. I didnt as I dont want to get banned since it is the only link I have, even if not fruitful now perhaps they will be a future date. They did respond a bit later that they were suggesting I read blogs that are I guess linked through their Twitter pages. Neither seem like "official" Viggle spokesmen. More like Dawg's situation. Which I do appreciate.

What I still dont understand is this...rather than give us concise, emailed updates once a day about the status and what they are hoping to do to resolve it they find it easier to refer us to an email address (which seems to be largely unanswered) or a Twitter account that gives no or partial answers to a lot of questions and when pressed tells you to go to unofficial blogs for your answers. That's a new level of messed up, right? What other company screws up, pretty badly, refers its customers to Twitter and then it's Twitter rep refers to 3rd part blogs?

My ire at VS has nothing to do with my feelings towards Dawg or other bloggers that are trying to calm the waters. In fact, that they can get it together and disseminate concise responses to these issues makes me so much more disappointed in how VS is handling the situation. How hard would it be for VS to replicate that effort?

It is almost 3 am here. Ironically if I could do Viggle check ins I might have been able to do the whole roster, something I rarely made it up to do before. LOL

The frustrating thing about Twitter is that while there are billions of people using it, they seem to all be rather tribal &, well, Twits about new people who they consider to be invading their territory. It's very much like coming into a conversation that's literally lasted for weeks & being held in contempt because you didn't read every single tweet from the beginning & have the temerity to ask a question (shrug)

Aside from all of that, the good news is for check ins on viggle, we don't have to babysit the app to make sure it doesn't close or go to sleep to save battery power. The Droids I had before the Galaxies had the option to never sleep, but Samsung doesn't offer that. I would've had to only Viggle for a few ads to keep the accts active until I could transfer my points. Even tho we get less pts on Viggle now compared to Perk apps, I still like checking into a show for an hour or two & get points without doing anything & doing vl (when it gets back running). I'm getting bored with Perk already. Everything is so repetitive & labor-intensive. Plus the fun is lacking from Perk that Viggle had. I don't know people have been able to stick with any Perk app(s) long enough to get 100 pts, let alone 1000+

Quote from Imola :
Wanted to clarify...instead of "be very very careful" I should have said:
Be sure to log OUT of your account on device one BEFORE attempting to log in to your account on device two.

And as a side note to Viggle/Perk: some kind of warning might have been nice before flat out cancelling my account. I'm aware that there are bugs, and intentionally didn't email support because I know the bugs (iOS point conversion) are common/known...and I thought I'd be nice and not add to the support queue. But, alas, I'm forced to enter that long queue anyway. Sigh.
Thank you. Unfortunately, I did use Viggle on an Android device without logging out on my iPhone. I wasn't using iOS Viggle at the time and didn't know I should log out. So far, my account seems to be okay.

I don't think anyone know or has any answers - especially here on the thread. It's just a guess on someone's part until Viggle/Perk writes up and sends out new terms. That's not going to happen anytime soon. BUT they probably will begin to ban/cancel accounts using some of their old rules. I would stick with the old rules until all this settles.....in a couple of months.

It's been a chaotic week and Perk is probably looking over their losses this weekend (couldn't be much of a gain since their apps crashed constantly). Maybe it's an overload of customers or they may have to upgrade their servers to handle the extra work. Who knows?

Maybe we should all stop viggling/perking for a day to give them a chance to iron out the problems. But I won't waste my time anymore .... will try again in the middle of the week, maybe next weekend. Got my first 60,000 converted, so I cannot convert another till March anyway. I am not going to hassle just for another 1000 points - my time is too precious

Front page deal moto e $30 @ BB. A little high, it will take over a month to make money back at less than a $1 a day earned on perk.
