New Qantas Toolbar - Earn Bonus Points just for searching

[codash1099]

Another month, already got my 150 valid searches in this afternoon

Careful. They'll enhance that soon if too many people use it.

I do wonder how much info they glean from it... and what the most popular searches are. I started yesterday with "Aquire" and funnily enough, Qantas' program wasn't the first link of even on the first page... but I guess it is new and it'll move up the rankings soon enough.

Its a total waste of time, especially with the ENHANCEMENTS
Just make sure you leave you pin number in an envelope for your kids when you croak because that's how long it will take to amass anything worth while
they are just throwing crumbs to the chooks, selling the eggs and then chopping the heads of the chooks when they feel like a feed IMHO but maybe I am just cynical of all the ENHANCEMENTS

 

[samh004]

Sounds like you're just cynical

There was a preview of an ACA episode yesterday about loyalty programs not giving you anything and all I have to do is log into my EDR account to see 60k points earned over the years since it started. This toolbar may be just breadcrumbs, but you need the breadcrumbs to bind the patties...

Not cynical of the WW EDR program but the Tioolbar is a waste of time in my book. why give them all the info on wrre you search ?

Decided to use the toolbar for the first time..

Managed to get 10 searches yesterday, but anything I search for now it says not qualifying

Give it time, it'll be fine again soon enough

Yes I guess doing 10 searches one after another wasn't good

Will give it a go again tomorrow

Meanwhile the rest of my "family" are searching on other laptops too

 

[samh004]

I did my 150 one after another yesterday... though may have had to search more than 150 times

Just need to vary the interval.

 

[lovestotravel]

Yes your busy afternoon searching actually prompted me to install the toolbar....

The other family members are earning fine tonight from what I can "see"

 

[samh004]

Occasionally it'll throw up an error, then you just need to plot a course back to earning, whether that's waiting, or searching more frequently, or less, or clicking some links, or praying

I think they get what is popular in our minds and see how they can target us with new ads to max their profit!

Clear cookies and start again. I just use it for my non- sensitive searches, so little effort to rack up a few points. When I've collected 150, I go back to Google. Bing doesn't rate with me.

AdBlock... good luck with that

I agree...that's what I do as well

Surely you can misspell a word of two

After putting up with the poor search results on bing and having to search on Google anyway, finally decided it was not worth the 150 points to be pushed through Bing.

Sorry Microsoft, the toolbar and your search engine are no longer installed.

Oh heaven forbid I actually use the results provided

With the latest update to FireFox, you can't see how many points you have earned Does anyone else have this problem now ? Happening for me on 2 different PC's

Can't get the toolbar to work in Chrome

Works in IE ....

I got problems with it working in chrome as well. Haven't installed it in Firefox as that is my regular browser but managed to get my 10 searches done by going to my history and finding things that I had previously searched for. Pain in the cough work around but if the problem isn't fixed might have to install it on IE.
