WHAT ARE BEENZ?
Beenz are an internet currency, which you can collect through clicking, sign-ups, competitions, and through Beenzback shopping.

If your already logged into your Beenz account, then your email address will usually have been entered into the box. Beenz also offer b25 Beenz daily off their website in the same way. You can find b10 in 'What's New' and a further b15 'hidden Beenz', some where in the Earn section. The little Beenz logo that you have to click ...

Beenz is one of these sites where you have to do things in order to get stuff. Myth - it is like all of these other rewards sites. Reality - it is not, it is a lot easier and there are loads of products that you can buy with these 'beenz'. My aim with this op is to give you a personal insight into this world.

Do you ever get the feeling that there is a divide on the internet at the moment? You are either a beenz collector or you aren’t. I don’t think that there has ever been so much fuss made about a reward program but Beenzers seem to take their collecting *very* seriously.

Advantages: a good idea Disadvantages: obviously not profitable
The demise of beenz.com has been widely predicted, so it wasn't really much of a shock to discover today that one of the best-known internet loyalty schemes is finally coming to an end.
According to the beenz.com website:
"the operation of the beenz economy will be terminated on August 26, 2001. No beenz earning or spending transactions will be honored after that date. Any beenz remaining in a Member's account will be invalidated by beenz.com, ... ...of any kind for such invalidated beenz."
So if you have any beenz left, spend `em quick! I suspect that most people emptied their beenz accounts long ago when the rumours of closure started and the free beenz began to dry up.
The beenz website in recent weeks has been a sad affair, it still promises that you can earn beenz in all sorts of different categories (Auto! Business! Careers! Computing! etc.), but when you actually look in each category ...

...and regular companies flocked to Beenz.com to provide them with access to these consumers and everything was perfect.
That was until the recent market downturn on online activities and many of the businesses, that were customers of Beenz.com, had folded up.
This resulted in Beenz.com laying off hundreds of workers and closing their branches in Europe and Far East and leaving only the UK and US offices still operating, but on skeleton staff.

These are expected to materialize very shortly.
Maybe there is still hope for Beenz.com and its members.

People visit beenz.com daily in order to get their beenz and while they are there, they look around, maybe find a interesting site and go their to spend some money (either real cash or beenz).

Advantages: Something for nothing, better than most reward schemes on the net. Disadvantages: Selling your soul to the internet.
So many loyalty schemes on the web, so little time. Which one do you choose? If you're like me, sign up for all of them. BUT you'll soon notice that a lot of them just aren't worth the effort and it will take you a lifetime to collect loyalty points for anything half decent let alone offer your e-mail account to numerous companies bombarding you with unwanted spam.
