Anyone else doing this? It's been around for a few years and apparently you can make about $200/year with a minimum effort. 
I'm planning on spending the points on eBooks (should be enough for me since I like to read classics as well) and possible saving up for a new Sony in a few years (presumably there will be something even better out!). |
I just cashed in 10,100 points that I put towards $100 credit in the Sony Bookstore. It took me until just recently to reach that amount of points. The program is much better for those who have the Sony Credit card. I don't. Without being a cad holder, it's more complicated redeeming the points as well. For example, if I had enough points for a $50 ebookstore coupon (or 5,000 points) they would only put 500 pts. I've earned towards this. You have to redeem your points for something over 10,000 pts. to be able to use an unlimited amount of your points. This is not a restriction if you are a card holder.
In the last couple of months, they have reduced the number of ways to earn points and the number of points you can earn through the different Sony Rewards Clubs. For Sony Card holders this is a great program. For the rest of us, it's becoming less so. You need to check on points expiration. For card holders, I don't know if the points expire, but for the rest of us, the points we've earned expire at the end of the year and we have until March 31st to redeem them or we lose them. It's in the fine print. I got burned the first year I participated, losing almost 5,000 points, not that I could've got much for them. So, I would just caution you to read the terms and the fine print, so you won't be disappointed, like I was and someone else on this forum was.
