End of Quarter Deadline Approaching for QuickRewards Elite Status

As you probably know, QuickRewards.net has a rewards program-within-a-rewards program, the Elite Membership level, reserved for our members who either complete 75+ surveys or place 5+ orders of $10 or more within a quarter.

If you're not familiar with the Elite membership program within QR, it's free and anyone who meets the requirements of 75+ surveys or 5+ $10 or more shopping orders in a quarter can join by sending an email to QR support.  The benefits of Elite Membership include survey bonuses of up to $20 per quarter, bonuses on your 6th+ shopping order over $10 in the quarter, double tokens all quarter long, and the ability to redeem tokens for gift cards.  More info on Elite membership including the FAQ is here; please note that there will be some minor changes to the shopping benefits in the fourth quarter and we'll let you know about them as soon as they're finalized.  Survey benefits will remain the same.

The end of the current quarter is coming up on Wednesday.  If you're a few surveys shy of the 75 mark, you'll want to check out the QR Surveys page and see if you can qualify for a few more.  Remember, targeted surveys count toward the 75 survey requirement, too!

If you're way too short of the 75 survey requirement, you still have time to place a couple of $10 or more shopping orders to qualify or re-qualify for Elite that way.  Amazon orders don't count (sorry, we're not allowed to incentive Amazon in any way), but Ebay orders do, as do gift card purchases through participating merchants. 

Here's how to check whether you've met the Elite requirements this quarter:  Log into your QR account, click My Account, Offer History, and look at the Elite Progress Bar -- if you're at or above 100% for either Surveys or Shopping, you're all set!

If you're currently an Elite member, email support after 10/1 to claim your quarterly bonuses.  And thank you to ALL of our great members for supporting QuickRewards.net!

Your Input Requested on Changes to QR's Elite Loyalty Program

We're planning to make some changes to the Elite program at QuickRewards, and we'd like your input!  If you haven't had a second to check out the post on Dmitry's blog about this, please do, and let us know what you think in a comment there (or you can always email me here).  If you have any suggestions to make it even better, we'd love to hear them!

Thanks, and thank you for being a valued member of QuickRewards.net!

Change to QuickRewards.net Elite Membership Shopping Bonuses

The staff here at QuickRewards want to thank our Elite Program members most sincerely for your support of QR!  Your support is what keeps QuickRewards in business, and we wouldn't be here without you!  We realize that times are tough economically, and our aim is to provide you with faster access to the money you've earned than anyone else in the industry -- hence the name, QUICK Rewards!

To simplify bonus crediting, QR has made the following changes to our Elite Membership shopping bonus structure, effective immediately:

A minimum of 5 shopping orders* per quarter is required to maintain Elite membership status.  Beyond those 5 orders, the following bonuses will be awarded:

• For your sixth through tenth order* each quarter, Elite members will receive a $0.25 bonus to their account.
• Each additional order* during the quarter will result in a $0.50 bonus to your account.

These bonuses are IN ADDITION TO the regular cashback shopping rates listed for each merchant.

* To qualify for Elite status, or for the Elite bonus promotions, an order must be $10 or more before tax and shipping, except for gift card orders, which must be $50 or more.  Ebay purchases are excluded.


If you enjoy QuickRewards, please tell a friend!  If you have concerns or complaints, please tell us and give us the opportunity to make it right.  We hope that this change will result in a better reward for you, while simplifying the process administratively.  Thank you again for your support of QuickRewards!

Introducing QuickRewards.net's New Elite Membership Program!

In appreciation of your loyalty, QuickRewards wants to reward you even more!

Beginning October 1, 2008, QuickRewards will be rewarding select members with the status of QuickRewards Elite Membership.

QuickRewards Elite, a 100% free benefit for our most loyal members,  offers the following benefits:

• The ability to cash out QR Tokens for gift certificates
• Double tokens every month no matter what you earn monthly (no need to earn $50 in two months for it to double)
• 10% bonus* on all shopping cashback earned following the fifth purchase each quarter
• Special contests for Elite members only
• Limited-time promotions for Elite members only, such as cashback and survey bonuses
• Advance notice of sales
• And other surprises and gifts for Elite Members only!

To achieve QuickRewards Elite Membership status, you must meet ONE of the following qualifications:

• Be a current member of the QuickRewards.net Frequent Shopper Program (with at least one order in September)

OR

• Have completed 75 or more surveys of any type (OTX, Greenfield, and targeted) through QuickRewards in the time period of July 1 through September 30

OR

• Have made five purchases (at least 3 must be over $10) through QuickRewards between July 1 and September 30

OR

• Have been a member of QuickRewards.net since 2002 or 2003 and request to join the program before its official launch on October 1, despite not meeting any of the above requirements.

To maintain Elite Membership, members must continue to meet the requirements of either 5 purchases (at least 3 must be over $10) or 75 surveys (combination of OTX, Greenfield and targeted) each quarter.


Interested? If you meet any of the above qualifications, and you would like to request Elite Membership status, simply send an email to support@quickrewards.net with the subject line, "Elite."

QuickRewards appreciates your loyalty and as always, is at your service!


Terms:
1. Ebay and iTunes orders have to be over $10 to count toward the 5 required orders to maintain Elite membership.  For all other merchants, at least 3 out of the 5 required orders must be over $10 before shipping/taxes/coupons.
2.  Orders and surveys are counted toward the requirements of the quarter in which they were completed (although due to crediting delays they may not credit until after several days after the quarter ends).
3.  Failure to meet the requirements for one quarter will result in a loss of Elite privileges for the next quarter.  If you meet the requirements again, you will be reinstated into the Elite program the following quarter. Grace periods are only given on a case-by-case basis upon request.
4.  Surveys that are manually credited do not count towards the 75 required surveys to maintain the membership.
5.  Quarter 1 is defined as JAN/FEB/MARCH, Quarter 2 is APRIL/MAY/JUNE, Quarter 3 is JULY/AUG/SEPT and Quarter 4 is OCT/NOV/DEC.
6.  Shopping orders that are returned or canceled will not count towards the minimum required to maintain the membership.
7. QuickRewards reserves the right to cancel the Elite membership program, change its program benefits or requirements, or ban a member from the Elite program any time.

*Within two weeks after the end of a quarter, Elite Members will receive a bonus of 10% extra cashback earned on all orders placed after meeting the five order requirement. This bonus is an extra 10% of your cash back earned, not an additional 10% added to the merchant's cashback rate.  Note that the 10% bonus will not apply to  purchases made at a few merchants, including merchants that pay 1% or less in cashback rates.
