Quote :
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. Please contact us at [email protected] with any questions or comments about our account at least two weeks before December 1, 2019, to allow sufficient time for resolution prior to our last date of operation.

Thank you for your support all these years!


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.

NOTES:

Live Check-ins
Starting with Viggle app version 3.23.0.1, the Live Check-in feature was removed.



Taxes and 1099s:

In October 2018, Perk started requiring users who have redeemed $400 or more to fill out a W-9 form here [perk.com]. Users who do not feel comfortable disclosing their name, address, and social security number to Perk should keep earnings below this threshold annually. Once this limit is reached, the user account is flagged and no further rewards redemption is possible until the W-9 form is submitted. The start of the new year (Jan 1) does NOT automatically nullify this requirement. At this time, it appears Perk does not report earnings to the IRS until earnings reach $600 or more as required by the IRS [irs.gov].

Your comment cannot be blank.

Quote from BiBi_Ramone :
Perk Wallet loads, but the gc list page does not. I got a bit over 500pts on each acct today. Balances have not been deleted to zero. This is a crappy thing to do to us. I have a feeling we can earn til Dec 1 before Perk shuts Viggle down just so they can mess with us.
Perk has removed all rewards from their webpage: https://perk.com/rewards

You can continue to run the apps and they'll probably run really well since you have no competition for ad views, but you're doing it for kicks or sentimental reasons.

Why would they keep the apps running till Dec 1 when you can't redeem for rewards anymore? I suspect it is a contractual issue with the ad suppliers. Usually ads reset monthly, they need to finish out this month.

More zon gcs arrived this morning on 2d acct, again $10 & $5. Time stamp says 3.43am but I couldn't sleep last night & was up til after 4am & I didn't see them. Nothing redeemed on 3d acct has arrived yet, nor has the $25 redeemed on 1st acct.

Sorry, I take it all back. Only got $10 $5 zons on 1st acct so far. No more since 1st 2 arrived. I mistook the emails I forwarded from 1st acct as new ones.

Have only gotten 2 zons out of the 9 redeemed from 3 accts.

So when Viggle is officially killed, do we delete accts or just leave everything alone?

I'm leaving as is for a bit. Your comment that the app is finally working as it is supposed to leaves me wondering what they may have up their sleeve. Stranger things have happened in Viggleville!

I think the apps remaining active until 12/01 has more to do with keeping the system running to fulfill reward requests than getting users to contribute uncompensated ad views.

I think all my Amazon gcs have arrived. Totalling $84.50. Not bad for a final haul. Each acct ended with 100pts or less.

Do you all remember Fluffy?? For many years he was a staple on this page posting sounds. All the old-timers here earned lots because of his generosity of time, attention and spirt of love.

He needs our help now. He's in the ICU on a ventilator fighting for his life.

Here is what happened:

"On December 22, after the TR3 tour wrapped up in St. Louis, Fluffy lost his footing after loading gear in the tour van and fell onto his hip, pushing his femur into his pelvis and shattering it. He has been in a St. Louis hospital since, requiring surgery to correct the shattered hip. The surgery took place on Friday, December 27th and was successful in mending our Fluffy.

However, the following day, complications from the fall and surgery arose, causing him to seize. He was transferred to the ICU in critical condition with dangerously low blood pressure, sepsis, and internal bleeding. After stabilizing him, they performed an endoscopy to pinpoint the source of the bleeding, which was determined to be from ulcers in his stomach and esophagus. Thankfully, doctors were able to stop the bleeding during the same procedure, but Fluffy remains in the ICU sedated and with both a ventilator and feeding tube. Due to the heavy pain medication and low blood pressure, his kidneys and liver have been compromised.

If you know Fluffy, you know he has a fighting spirit, and this gives us hope in his recovery. However, we know the road to recovery can be a long (and expensive) one, which is why we are starting a GoFundMe page to help our Fluffy so all he has to be concerned about is getting better and stronger everyday.

Please help! Information is on his Facebook page about the GoFundMe that has been set up. Fluffy Hays Centner is his entire name.

Please ๐Ÿ™ for Fluffy!

I never knew Fluffy but what a horrible accident and right before the holidays. Thank you for letting us know and I'll definitely keep him in my thoughts hoping that he will mend quickly.

I remember the name well and that he was one of the big contributors to this group during Viggle's pre-Perk takeover days.

Very sad to hear all that he is going through. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his loved one's.

Please update us with any new information going forward.

Yes, So glad you remember!!! Thank you!!!

He was a big contributor to this thread during the original Viggle! He made a ton of SoundCloud recordings and updated the Wiki. Very active back in the day when you had to sign up to make recordings on the Wiki ahead of time.

Someone on here got mad at him at one point and he changed his tag to Fluffysucks. Cracked me up! Rather than getting mad in return. A perfect reaction to defuse the situation!

An update is he is still in the ICU. He's off the ventilator and responsive although heavenly sedated.

All prayers and well wishes are wanted and needed! He is a kind gentle soul and the planet needs him and more like him!

Thank you for the update. Sounds like things are moving in the right direction although he has a long road ahead.

Many of the old members of this group have scattered to the wind as Viggle gradually died away. I am sure they would share in our concerns for a person who was part of our daily lives for such a long time.

Please pass along our best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Amen to that! I'll know he's on the mend for sure when he's out of ICU. I'll keep all updated.

I only recently came back to slickdeals but was active in the early days on this board. I remember some days this thread could get a bit cutthroat. Some could navigate it all better than others. Fluffy could keep his cool even when others melted down. Won't name names but you probably remember.

So sorry to hear about our beloved Fluffy's accident. Fantastic to hear he's recovering. Thanks for the GoFundMe info. However, could you provide a link to it? I'm starting a new high-paying position with the Census next week, so I'll be able to contribute to the fund once the 1st paycheck comes.

As an aside, Viggle is still running & giving points. Has anyone heard or read that Taptico is going to restart it or has sold it to another company that will?
