Talking Points

We have started a new point system. The points that you earn participating in the forums can be used to purchase prizes that we will be giving away (see below).

Here is how you can earn points:

20 points: Sign-up bonus
10 points: Each new thread you begin
05 points: Each time you respond in a thread
10 points: Each time you refer a member to the forums

If you see a prize that you like and have accumulated enough points, simply leave a comment in this thread saying which prize you would like. If there is information that you need to send us (such as your address so we can send you the item), please contact us at info@savingadvice.com so we can get your prize to you once you have left a comment that you want it. We will then deduct the points from your total and send you the prize - there are no shipping charges - we take care of that.

Here are the prizes that we currently have available and how many points they cost:
  • $10 ING Conversion - 500 points (limit 2 at a time. When an invite has been converted, you can request a new one)

These prizes are being given away as a thank you for participating and helping others out with their questions. If you have any questions, feel free to post them here.

Past Prizes Already Redeemed:

$100 SmartyPig Gift Card
Financial Bliss Book
TaxCut Premium Software
All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten Book

So how do you redeem points? I tried to order the book but when I pressed the link, I just got taken right back to this post.

If you want the book, just leave a comment here in this thread which one you want - simple as that - then email me the address where you want it shipped.
