Hunting Forum

Yep, more if your a lifer in NAFC and apparently there's a home repair group too.

Yea, I read all that already, and after I lost all my points, I got them back after my first report, now I'll get back to where I started again after my second test report, but to get to 100 points is alot of ground to gain. I tried to post pics when doing my first test report, but it wouldn't work. I'm not complaining about the deal at all, don't get me wrong, just trying to figure how to get from 57 to 100 points. You'd have to post reviews on alot of other sites.

You should have gotten all of your points back plus what's listed in what I posted. I've had no issue uploading pics (in the 3rd part of the review) BUT they can not be over 500kb I believe.

You don't get extra points for doing your review, you get back the ones taken away when you are selected to test the item. I just lost 25 points for being drawn for the EZ drag, and will get 25 back when I do a basic test report, I won't get 50.

no, you're wrong g-faber. Yes, you get back the ones it "cost" you for the test PLUS the points as I just posted, plus points for pics, tweets, FB, URLs etc.

Most I've ever gotten was 36 points? If I get 20 just for being a lifer, shouldn't I have a lot more than 36? My pick also didn't work in the report?

Thats not what I got after my first test, I lost all my 50 points, then got them back after doing my report, I didn't get 100. I wrote a review, got a few points, wrote a review of an item I already had, got 1 point, did the home improvment questionaire, and was at 57 before losing just now losing 25 down to 32. I just tried posting a picture again, and it worked, so I'll see how many points that gained me. I think the idea to gain more points is they want us to post reviews elsewhere to gain exposure for the items and companies in the program, not just on the stuffstuff site.

You should have gotten 20 when you initially joined and "linked" to NAHC. Then 15 for filling out your hunting, fishing, and home improvement profiles. If you did any reviews of available stuff they're a point or 2 each. If you got anything to test, you should have gotten those points back PLUS the points that I quoted above from the SS FAQ page.

If you didn't get points according to that structure then you should contact SS

I guess it's about right then?

Once more and then I give up. My experience (tested 3 things so far and now at 133 points and posted *zero* URLs) has been exactly what the FAQ page describes. If you're not then I suggest you contact SS

For joining it seems like it GLW but I don't know what other things you've done. 

I don't do alot with other accounts. I posted a pic during the report and made a comment on facebook, no twitter or anything else? It would be nice to get another 10 points though? (that is if there is anything left to test?)

Thats good to know you're at that many points Steve, seems something isn't right with mine based on the points you got back after your tests. That would clear up my question about wondering how the heck am I ever going to get to100+ points and level 4+.

Theres test stuff on there GLW. you can select up to 10 in your level and points.

Look for ANYTHING (even under the stuff for sale) that you have used and review it.  They are a point a piece, make sure all three profiles are filled out.  I did link to FB an Twitter even though I really don't use 'em but points is points.

Go back through all of your activities and add things up based on the info in the FAQ, reviews, pictures, tweets, FB, URLS, profiles, etc.   If not correct, then contact SS.

I've watched my point totals CLOSELY and kept track. Mine are right on.  I've tested 2 level 1's and one level 2.  Included pictures whenever possible, etc.

All the little points stuff made sense, I liked a couple things to see what happened and got a few points, i don't do twitter. I am a TLM, so I was at 50 points and level 3 right away after the initial sign up. Then I tested a 50 point level 3 item, lost all my points, then got them back (within a few, I don't remember the exact # before I did the other stuff). If I got the same deal as you, I should have gotten ANOTHER 45 points for doing my test report. My points should have been in the 90's then, not the 50's. I sent them a message and will see what they say. I did just get 4.5 points for my pic, so am at 36.5 now.

If those are the facts then you are entirely  correct. Are you sure your review posted?

Doing the test report is what earned your 50 points back, right? I got my 25 points back right after I did my test report.

I tried to gain more test items and had zero results?

My test report and review both have a checkmark by them. I did just look at some posts on their facebook page and there were a few comments about getting shorted points and stuffstuff was fixing it.

GLW, did you get more points than just your 25 back?
