Awww man, It’s pretty INSANE how many people are actively expressing their hatred and anger towards Lockerz directly on the Official Lockerz Facebook Fanpage. What’s even crazier is the fact that lots of people are fighting with each other all over the comments on every wall post! See for yourself, you’d see plenty of; “@Display Name, You’re an Idiot with no life..“, “When will you people learn…“, or “Shut your mouths, stop complaining…“
Although the arguments are pretty hilarious, there’s no denying that the majority of Lockerz.com members are pretty angry! The question is, WHY???? But before we get into it all, I’m aware that many of you are probably unfamiliar with Lockerz. You just decided to read this post because you saw that really cool angry face image lol.
So, what in the World is LOCKERZ?
If you visit the Lockerz.com about me page, this is what you’ll see;
“Lockerz is an invitation–only website created to connect members through commerce, content and social networking. Once invited, you’ll be able to watch exclusive video, buy great products, discover new music, play games, and connect with friends. You’ll be able to do this all in one place, AND you’ll get rewarded for just doing the things you love. When you watch a video, play a game, or even log in, you’ll earn Pointz (or “PTZ”) Lockerz own form of currency. Turn around and redeem your PTZ for incredible merchandise, unique experiences and exclusive deals and sales.” –http://www.lockerz.com/about
You could also watch their Lockerz Intro video, here:
Ok, good, now that you know what Lockerz is all about, I’m sure you may want an invitation already. However, before you decide to request an invitation, I suggest you READ THIS!
lets talk about why hundreds of thousands of Lockerz members are spamming the internet with Lockerz Complaints?!
So, what’s making people so angry about Lockerz?
Well, for a change, it has nothing to do with mis-credited points, lack of referrals (Invites), nor does it have anything to do with frozen accounts. Instead, it’s the Prize Redemption that has people so ANGRY. Isn’t that Ironic?
DOES THE PRIZE REDEMPTION SUCK?
Whether you’re watching Hilarious videos, blasting your favorite songs, playing games, answering daily polls, or simply logging in, YOU WILL ALWAYS earn POINTS! It’s FREAKISHLY EASY to earn points on lockerz; especially more than enough PTZ to get you 3 laptops in a month or more! However, it’s not as easy to Redeem your Prizes.
See, what makes sites like FreebieJebies and Kudos, so attractive is the fact that you can redeem your prizes ANY TIME YOU WANT (24/7 Redemption). Lockerz prize redemption, on the other hand, isn’t available 24/7. Sometimes itas Once or Twice a month.
SHOP
SHOP, hands down, is the fastest way to accumulate thousands upon thousands of points in a single week (You Need Money), which can be enough to redeem for a free netbook or even a macbook; if you get the chance to redeem, that is. You can purchase anything from the hottest electronics, games, clothing apparel, jewelry, movies, sports equipment & gear, and so much more. In all honesty, you’re not going to see a more awesome collection of boutiques on one site than on lockerz.
What makes SHOP a big hit on Lockerz.com is the PTZ Slider feature. PTZ Slider allows you to use your PTZ to lower the price of a game console or Audio Beats headphones (whatever you want) all the way down to $0.
“SHOP’s PTZ SLIDER SOUNDS LIKE AN AWESOME FEATURE…”
Sorry to burst your bubble, but the idea of trading in your ptz to dramatically lower the price tag on even the most expensive product is ONLY A TEASE. Fact is, whether you decide to purchase a $20 DVD or $299 game console, you’ll probably get about 3% – 10% off before you realize that as the price keeps getting lower, the cost of your PTZ will double exponentially. By the time you get 20% off, you’ve pretty much used over 60% of your PTZ, which sucks if you’ve worked for those PTZ for months. Even if you had 15,000 ptz, which can get you a free macbook pro in redemption, in SHOP, it’s probably going to cost you close to 70,000 PTZ to get simple T-Shirt. Weird isn’t it?
So, the important question to ask here is; IS LOCKERZ.COM in the business of rewarding everyone, or does Lockerz simply use prize redemption as a promotional tool to generate lots of money to get members to constantly SHOP, and WATCH VIDEO ADVERTISEMENTS? (^_-) Hmm…. Interesting.
To be honest with you, the site looks way cool and i don’t want to believe that my time is being USED and ABUSED by LKZ just so I can Shop and be forced to watch advertisements while I collect happily collect PTZ that I may never be able to use.
So, at the end of the day, whether or not you believe that Lockerz intentions are in YOUR FAVOR, is really up to you! Some people have earned prizes from lockerz and have never experienced the such frustration. Just know that Nothing I say here is the Absolute Truth. It’s only my personal observation
24/7 Redemption – Claim Your Free Prizes Today!
It’s FREAKISHLY LAME having to spend so much time accumulating enough points to redeem a free gift that is almost never available, TO YOU, come redemption. Though Patience is a virtue, TIME is all the more important. Fact of the matter is, points aren’t rewards, it’s just currency. What good is currency if you aren’t able to use it because the things you want is always OUT OF STOCK, WAY TOO EXPENSIVE BEYOND REASON, or if you’re REQUIRED TO BUY SOMETHING before you can spend your points the way you want?
“MORE SOON” doesn’t justify all the time and money you’ve devoted. I mean lets face it, the reason you requested an invite with Lockerz is simply because you thought collecting PTZ and REDEEMING them for FREEBIES would be EASY and fun!
Well now, if your goal is to have an awesome collection of Game Consoles, Smart Phones, Laptops, clothing apparel, and more in a shorter period of time, you may want to consider an Alternative.
So, briefly, I’ll introduce you to 2 similar websites; websites that offer 24/7 prize redemption and flexibly creative ways to earn referrals.
So, whether you want to take notes, or get to clicking, is entirely up to you. From here on out, I’m just a messenger. So I encourage you to do your own research on the following networks! Either way, lets start with;
KUDOSNETWORK.CO.UK – Kudos is a freebie site which gives away free prizes and cash for one user completed offer and referring the required number of people. You can either request money or prizes!
An amazing feature about Rewards1 Prize Redemption is the fact that your prizes aren’t limited to what’s on the site.
You receive £17/$26/€20 for every referral, if you choose to receive cash. If you choose to receive a physical item your referrals are worth £20/$30/€23 each.
You can literally request prizes from sites like FootLocker, BestBuy, Target, HMV, GameStation, Hollister, Game Games4Less, and so much more. Simply provide a URL to the prize you want from your favorite retailer and Kudos will buy it for you.
FREEBIEJEEBIES – This is a freebie site which is pretty much exactly the same as Kudos. The differences may be that your account may be verified quicker with Kudos as it is less popular than FreebieJeebies therefore less people need to be verified and less support tickets need to be answered.
The referral rates are also the same and the offers available to complete may be different but most are the same.
FINAL THOUGHTS
I said it before, and I say it again, I’m no authority over any of these sites mentioned. There’s always a positive and negative on everything you participate under. Therefore, whether, or not any of these freebie networks are right for YOU is up to YOU to decide.
Any input, suggestions, thoughts, anything, feel free to share…
Now I will warn you, this article may seem a bit one sided. So as a disclaimer, I’m no authority on lockerz, nor am i a hardcore participant on their website. As a matter of fact, based on the site’s reviews, I�ve been hesitant to even spend time on it and make use of it�s entire features� Everything i know about it is based on what members are saying and a bit from my personal experience. Ok lets move on!
Last time you read about Lockerz on FreebieKingz, you heard that Over 100,000 Lockerz Members are Pissed!!! If you didn�t give it a read before, feel free to check it out!
Right now, it�s the second week since Lockerz launched the 24/7 redemption. � and that�s what this post is about.
See, we�ve heard before that people are PISSED off and Lockerz� Facebook FanPage was filled with nothing but comments of anger, dissapointment, and frustration. Now that the 24/7 redemption is finally here and now everyone is wondering�
Are people now satisfied with Lockerz?
After logging on to my account with Lockerz and checking out the new 24/7 Redemption for the first time, I said to myself, �Not Exactly What I had in Mind�, but it looks like another hit, i guess!�� or that�s what i thought! I mean personally, I thought 24/7 redemption meant that all the cool prizes offered on the general redemptions will be available 24/7. I didn�t hear anything about it being a 24/7 auction until the day of. I don�t know about you, but I felt misled. Who knows, maybe I didn�t do my research.
So how are people responding to this New Feature on Lockerz? Let�s check their facebook fan page�
You see, the 24/7 redemption is really an auction site filled with over 10 million users competing for 23 items � sometimes more or less. Holy crap, I didn�t realize how extreme and unorthodox that sounded – �10 million people competing for 23 items!”
I honestly think the name should�ve been�24/7 auction � don�t you think?
Well I guess 23 people out of 10 million members are gonna be lucky, huh? It�s okay, look on the bright side, you can still shop for products you desire the most and you can also attempt to qualify for the general redemption. Oh not to mention that new prizes will be available for auction every hour or so. So everyone does have a chance to win something every hour right?
I hope you can still keep your points if you lost a bidding� cause 40,000 ptz will take an average member a few months to a year to earn. Not to forget, there are members with over 100,000 ptz and still have never won anything! But who knows, I could be wrong!
Now lets see what more people have to say about Lockerz and it�s 24/7 Redemption..
Awww man� a bit rough, don�t you think?
Well, I�m going to ask the same question I asked myself in the last article; IS LOCKERZ.COM in the business of rewarding everyone, or does Lockerz simply use prize redemption as a promotional tool to generate lots of money to get members to constantly SHOP, and WATCH VIDEO ADVERTISEMENTS? (^_-) Hmm�. Interesting.
To be honest with you, the site looks way cool. I just don�t want to believe that my time is being USED and ABUSED by LKZ just so I can Shop and be forced to watch advertisements � do everything to make them money but can�t even use the ptz, which took me forever to earn, to redeem for anything. It�s no wonder why people say that Lockerz makes money by exploiting it�s users.
So, is Lockerz 24/7 redemption a Success?
Hell yeah, you can bet your BOOTY the site is a huge success � FOR THEM! Still, If you�re looking to earn prizes anytime soon, you might want to look else where.
My Final Thoughts
Freebie sites should be fair and not take up all your time. Online Prize incentives are meant to be PART TIME� Lockerz on the other hand, you�ll have to invest ALL OF YOUR TIME to get anything�
HOLY CRAP� How Could Lockerz Let this Happen? I�didn’t�know it was this bad..
Just before I was ready to conclude this article, I decided to check out other facebook communities surrounding lockerz, and already I see a fanpage entitled �Lockerz Sucks�.. it gets even worse. Members are looking to sell their accounts.. (0_0)??? OUCH!!!!
Check out these comments�
That is insane!!! Is there anything GOOD to say??? Anything else you want to add? There seems to be such a major controversy over Lockerz sincerity and intentions� Teach me something i don�t know..�drop a comment!

On tonights popular Channel Five show, The Gadget Show, there was a short apology to Freebiejeebies, due to a mix up on the show the
week before. The week before there was a short segment on Facebook scams, and in the background there was an image of a Freebiejeebies referral link, therefore insinuating FreebieJeebies was a scam. This was noticed by some Exceem members and E-mails were sent to Channel Five, asking for a public apology. So tonight’s show, there was a public apology and FreebieJeebies was regarded as a “legitimate incentive site”.
So wan’t to get involved with FreebieJeebies? Then follow the steps blow.
Well now Apple seems to be on top of things and will give it a quick fix, the security flaw allowed you to bypass the iPhone password protection without using a jailbreak or hack that could simply be done with a few actions.
Hopefully in the next few weeks a fix will be added within the release of iOS 4.2, Apple is aware of the problem and will offer a fix as part of the iOS 4.2 software update in November.
Hey Jailbreakers, have you got a fix yet? Please let us know if you have tried the password bypass and if so what happened.

]]>According to Reuters Apple has said that they would delay the release of the white iPhone 4 smartphone until next spring, which to be honest is a blow for those waiting for it.
The iPhone 4 was released in June and the White version of the smartphone was supposed to release beginning of July, then it was going to come to the market Christmas sometime and now Spring, we know this will annoy many that have been waiting.
An Apple spokeswoman called Trudy Muller has said, Were sorry to disappoint customers waiting for the white iPhone again, She declined to explain the delay.
All we know is that Apple keeps on saying the white model was more challenging to manufacture than we originally expected, what do you think the problem is as to why it keeps getting delayed, is it a colour matching problem, is it to do with backlight issues?
