Subeta -

We understand that a lot of users can't purchase CSC directly from the cash shop, either because of the economy or because they just don't have the ability to. That's why last year we started accepting the <a href=http://ultimategamecard.playspan.com/>Ultimate Gaming Card</a>!

Now, we're offering <a href=http://subeta.net/cashshop.php?act=offers>Sponsor Deals</a> which are as simple as watching an advertisement, for a few Cash Shop Credits. Like it says on the page, make sure to read the fine print below the advertisement, and always use your best judgement before giving out personal information! If you are worried about your personal information, you can read about the company that we've partnered with <a href=http://techcrunch.com/2010/03/21/truste-places-privacy-seal-of-approval-on-virtual-currency-platform-gwallet/>here</a>.

This would be a good idea, but as you said the economy is down and I myself am not buying anything online (as many of these are buy this, get CSC) BUT it's a good thing for people who do shop at the places you have listed. I am sure many people will be able to use this.

To the comment: Why don't you just go to a library and do them if you're worried about viruses?

Working at a public library, our computers tend to restrict the ability to download and install. Not sure if all libraries around the states do so, but I'd rather not want to worry about people putting 'virii' and spyware on our computers

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It is good but I don't trust half the things and when I tried one...I still haven't got the credit...this is somewhat pointless and depressing.

Good idea though.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Thank you Keith and staff. By answering some surveys I can get some shop credits. Very cool

How long does it take some offers to uptake? Like, when it says with submission of correct contact info... I did that on an offer I was actualy interested in and got a confirmation e-mail from the site that they got my info, but no CSC?

"I don't understand the Disney ad. Spend a minimum of $10.00 there and get only 24 CSC here? When $10 here gets you 1k CSC?" - Moirae

You'll get $10 worth of Disney stuff -- just like buying from a store. The 24 CSC is just an added bonus. Granted, it's not a particularly extravagant amount but it might be appealing to those who would have bought Disney items anyway.

This is now the 3rd site that I belong to that uses this service and I can't say that I'm a fan of it at all. I can't afford CSC very often, but I don't like this idea very much either. Most of the time, the funds never come through. shrug

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think it's admirable that such a huge site has lasted THIS long without a single 3rd party advertisement splashed across our pages! It makes sense to gain support from other companies and personally, I'm very grateful that the staff have obviously gone to great effort to make sure they can get funding from advertisements, without the actual ads all over the site. Major kudos to the staff! I think this is a great idea (exercised with caution, mind you) for those who are not as financially well-off to gain a leg-up here. Thank you staff for another great feature!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

aw =/

you guys use one of the same companies that Swagbucks uses... so i've done most (all) of the free ones through them; and are for the most part 1 time only per household/IP offers.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Sweet, I made a bit of CSC just by watching a few videos.

Oh and I've also been interested in trying out Gamefly for quite a while now so it would be awesome to get CSC on top of that!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Lord, all Anon has to do is purchase an ad space and the entire Subeta userbase who uses this service could be screwed. It's a fantastic idea for all those who want to and can participate, but I'm staying the heck away from it. Anything that gives a potential weak hole in security is not something I'm going to play around with. I'll buy and sell through the regular market like always.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

If you're feeling iffy about anything (I know I am, but then I always am, lol), maybe stick to the videos (if you have those as an option). I'm doing those, only, and have 20 CSC so far. c:

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

My thought...if someone doesn't like it....they don't do it. I'm finding a few games I didn't know about, and a few good deals.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm not sure how to feel about this. I never trust sponsor links that require a download or personal information, and I'm worried that this might foreshadow advertisements on Subeta. Of course, it is a nice way to get free CSC for those who can't afford it. I might try the Facebook one later.

I am curious on how these sponsors are chosen. Are they screened at all by the staff?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh fuck, I am strongly opposed to this. :c

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Origin: I'm guessing your options change depending on where you live, because I don't get videos either, but I did get a survey from the country I'm living in, and I don't think everybody on Subeta is Australian. So yeah. I would've liked easy vids, too.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Wait, it does? DAMMIT THAT WAS THE ONLY ONE I DID!

Uhm uhm uhm what do I do to get rid of it? kgjdlsjhkdsfgfks omfg

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Awesome! But will it work on a cell phone if I don't wanna wait until I get home to try it out?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

some work and some don't do what they say at all. one was to become a fan but there was no fan button. sheesh

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Not a lot of them I can do, because I don't really like getting email deals, but hey, I did manage to get 60 CSC out of it so far.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

ugh, it's a nice add on, but its not for everyone

instead of spending an hour to get about 1000 csc, I'd rather work an hour and buy the csc without having to fill out a bunch of forms haha

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I only get 2 options =/ no videos or something easy like that. Too bad.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Gaia has the same thing and their economy is fine.

Stop bitching about how this will ruin the price of CSC. This is available to everybody, and if you dont' think it's fair that you spend $10 and someone else gets it free, then don't spend the ten bucks and fucking do the ads yourself!

I agree that this is a smart idea by Keith, they can still make money off of CSC so they can pay their employees, we just dont' have to pay. I'll just keep doing offers for 25 CSC untill I can get my chance bag. 8)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Heads up guys, that MyWebFace stuff has Malware in it.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Psht, I did two of them and I haven't gotten anything for them. Retarded Pirate game + phone facebook app. <

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

YA! Free CSC! Even though I don't know what to do with the 2 CSC I just got! Even though I can't get more than 200 CSC in total! And even though I can't purchase anything from them just like I don't have money to purchase CSC! ^3^

YEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Did all the videos (I don't trust any of the other options) and now I am 2 csc richer! For some reason the other videos I watched didn't give the csc. Oh well, I wasn't expecting much. Lol. I think I'll just stick to buying CSC directly.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I don't think it will hinder anything. it takes some time to get any amount of points...and I'm not going to do this all the time that's for sure.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

so far I've gotten 240 cs.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This hinders the profits of CSC for the people who buy it to sell it :/ Personally I see no problem with how it WAS. CSC was purchased by money, but was easily obtainable via SP.

I never liked sponsor crap =[

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I don't understand the Disney ad. Spend a minimum of $10.00 there and get only 24 CSC here? When $10 here gets you 1k CSC?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

We can buy CSC with our cellphones now? o-o

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I only get 3 offers, all of which appear to involve credit cards? Is this because I'm not from the US?

Either way, at least other people will benefit from this.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Most of the offers aren't the kind I'd do, but this looks like a great idea! Heck, if you're going to do something like send flowers or get an insurance quote, its nice to know that you can get some CSC as a bonus.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

no. .___. this makes me think of zynga. my low interest in subeta as of late has just dropped even lower. if i didn't owe people sP/CSC at the moment, this would mark my hiatus. ugh this is just one of those things that irk me. because it's one step closer to advertisements.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh, one question! For the "Vegas Misses You!" sponsor thing, can I get the CSC if I live in Vegas? 8D

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Watch lame videos for CSC?

YES PLEASE.

I like how this feature has been implemented and I think it's a great alternative to ads all over the site. Good job.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Sweet. I probably won't use this feature (unless I want spiffy wardrobe items =D) but it's a good idea. Obviously, or I don't think it would have been done. So long as I'm not flogged by ads like I was on Neo, all's fine with me gives thumbs up! I don't think I have to worry about that, though o3o.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Nice.

But sadly only see 2 that require credit card and/or purchases, so won't do either.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Er, I don't trust those things... I only have three options and they all seem dodgy...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think it's great as long as you use your good judgment and common sense. If something seems strange or too good to be true, it probably is. Be careful with downloads. Also, younger users, remember to ASK your parents before you give out YOUR/THEIR info, also. I know my parents would have killed me if something they had no idea about came up on their bills, or whatever else, and I was the reason. Just a reminder. xD

I will continue to buy them. I never use these things on sites that offer them, but it's awesome for users who can't get CSC. c:

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

lol this is like gaia i love that feature im sure im going to fill a few out here too

yay

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Dammit. I want to do some of the free ones that award 1k+ CSC, but I can't because they're only "free" trials and idk how long I have to keep the things installed before they start charging me. :c

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I obviously won't go to the sites that require my credit card number, but I did watch some of the vids. I downloaded the MyWebFace and nothing.

I am going to wait for a while longer.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Cool. I just BSed my way through a survey and got 180 CSC. This feature makes my wallet super happy.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I wish that my parents had waited just a bit longer to sign up for that DirectTV package. -.-

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh, and an update for those who are afraid people will stop donating and it will lead to a ring of selling out...

Have a little more faith in Keith. And for the love of God, thats coming from me. o_o;; He has promised many things, and failed miserably at most, but... the one thing, the one thing he remains true to is never selling out. I have full faith in him in this regard.

This is a great opportunity for Subeta to pull in more money and distribute more benifits to those who would love to donate but cant quite. They go through these companies, who pay for the space on Subeta. You dont have to go through the companies if you have the money... But we all dont, and the site needs a little more money love if its to continue providing all the great staff it does. Subeta is a business. It is a business with financial needs that need to be met.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

SELLOUTS!!! ya'll sold ya'llselfs to the coperate devil. jk, this is cool.

Purchase required to receive Cash Shop Credits within minutes.

lol fuck that, i'll just buy an ultimate gaming card. i will do some of the free ones though.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I would never go for any of the ones that require entering your credit card or anything. But, it's a nice option for people who can't actually buy CSC.

But, no one says anyone HAS to use these to obtain CSC. And that's why Keith has warned you to READ THE FINE PRINT. I think it's people's own fault if they end up with a virus because they weren't paying attention.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Okay. It seems Keith is actually doing his homework on this issue, and isnt just all: "K heres a new feature BAI." I think he's really working hard on this, and really putting forth an effort to make it a bit more fair to IRL poor people. It is a lot of work for a few credits, it seems, which means that the credits wont go crazy with the inflation. Half of you wont remember what this feature is next week, the other half will be too lazy to use it. A few may play with it in therr spare time.

For once I am completely with Keith. He's trying to do something for the site without selling out. If you dont like it. Dont use it. Use common sense, and dont do anything youre not comfortable with. Some seem sketchy, but it is not the sights responsibility to babysit you or "the children." Quite frankly if there are any of "the children" on Subeta, those under age who ignored those oh so important terms and conditions, or those who dont know about dirty scammers, you have a serious parenting fail on your hands. This is not the responsibility of Subeta.

Keith is giving a good opportunity for those willing to work a little, and keep thier wits about them. But if you dont like this sort of thing, simple solution.
