Gift cards sell out too fast 🔥#58

J

I have attempted to buy several gift cards exactly on the minute they are released. I have timed each attempt and the cards are always sold out in under a second. This means that the majority of members are giving their data to you for absolutely nothing in return. There has to be a point when we ask you, what do we get out of this? Where is our end of the bargain?

To add to Jack’s post - clearly there are some clever people scripting this to add and checkout in under a second. Please add a CAPCHA to the checkout to stop this.

James is spot on. I was hesitant to say there might be some kind of bot or script involved, but it sounds very likely. An extra layer of security is desperately needed.

Actually its quite an easy thing to automate as well which is why you desparately need the CAPCHA.

I agree please add this. It’s basically impossible to get the gift cards. The whole point is earning from our data, so why is there only a limited number of people who can earn?

I have come on here for exactly the same reason! Getting hold of gift cards is impossible they need a better system ! Im surprised more people havent complained. I hardly use the browser anymore when it became apparent that you dont get rewarded its just unredeemable points you ‘earn’!

When it came to buying time, I wasn’t even able to view the gift card I was hoping to get! Amazon had completely disappeared from the list… I looked on 15mins prior and it was gone 💁🏼‍♀️

When i started using gener8 i was quite sucessful in getting gift cards, however after a couple of months its since become virtually impossible to get them. I think since the start of the year i try every week and have only been sucessful a xouple of times. Given Amazon and other companies wouldnt limit the number of gift cards they sell, why dont they buy more. It really is pointless when you see 10 available in 6days.
The whole point was that rhis site would give back some of the earnings to users. Well that simply doesnt happen. Most of the offers are simply available as introductory offers elsewhere anyway, and for things that arent wanted anyway.
Its become pointless even trying

They may need to monitor failures on gift card tries for each account.Maybe multiple failures should prompt automatic access to mystery box or something similar. At the moment it is becoming pointless for many. Shame because in principle Gener8 is a good idea.

I agree with almost all comments on this issue. I’ve had literally one gift card and I’ve been using this for around 2 years always have enough points but can’t spend them. I truly believe this has become another cash grab with no consumer care should’ve just sold out when he could have lol

Can I PLEASE suggest to Gener8 to run the gift cards in another way… Why is it ‘first come first serve’ when it’s actually quite easy for people to snipe using scripts to get them first?

I think a better way would be for users to choose which gift cards they want once, and run a lottery each time. If someone wins a certain gift card, their points are deducted and they have a 1 week cool down so they can’t win that gift card again for a week. That gives everyone a MUCH higher chance of actually being able to use their points and it’s also much more fair.

Can Gener8 really look at the analytics and truthfully say that gift cards are being claimed fairly?

It’s been a year ago since this issue was raised, nothing have been done about it. 230 Amazon gift cards disappears in 2 seconds. That is unforgivable!

In under a second, I have emailed them with screen recordings, it is literally impossible, I just got an automated response
