New Qantas Toolbar - Earn Bonus Points just for searching

[whatmeworry]

5 QFF members, 1,250 QFF

Wont use it really but cant complain about 1,250 points for around zero cost with only 10 min work...

Note: The 250 bonus QFF ends today...!

Should get 1,500 from the family. Assuming the toolbar is around for a year, my family can earn 10,800 in a year.

Installed it late Friday for Mrs Buzzard and already at 48 points on Sunday nite.

Ahh, but did you search for the Carrie Bickmore spelling of Qantas?

I had to look that one up... :mrgreen:

So.... are people studiously working up their 150 points or are we using robots (or slave labour)?

Interestingly, I have been (temporarily) flagged for 'invalid use' - perhaps searching a little too fast on Day 1? Currently sitting on just 12 points and not going anywhere.

You should not have been searching for Qantas International flights from South Australia

I took 2 days and did my normal daily searches through it and got to 150 now I need to wait until next month. It will get harder as time goes on as it appears you can only search for the same thing once and get the point. I got flagged a couple times but mostly what I wanted went through. I just did legitimate searches because I needed to anyway

True… might have looked slightly dodgy!

I gave in and installed it, thinking I may as well pickup a lazy 200 and help them with their 'market research'. First search done: 'virgin australia'.

Hope you did it before Monday, when the 200 points bonus stopped.

FWIW my points were credited into the QFF account an hour ago.

 

[samh004]

I also received my 200 bonus points

 

[Mr_Orange]

Got my 200 bonus points too .

 

[mrfreeze]

Just checked and my and kids account have the 200 bonus points posted.
Now if I could only get the search points to increase from 48 on one account I would be happy - nothing is coming up as a valid search anymore

I've been doing a few "people searches" - then using variations and you can quickly log up 40/50
like pete andrew - peter andrew - peter andrews - pete andrews - pete anderson - pete anderton - peter anderton etc etc

get about a point every 2 seconds and is still working for me......

 

[Ausbt]

Wow that's some useful statistical info they are going to be collecting.

stopped clocking up points at 52.

will try again later/tomorrow....

 

[Stoopidsteve]

got my 200 bonus. Haven't been able to make ANY valid searches since day 1. So uninstall, say thanks for the 200 and never use Yahoo search again.

 

[a330j]

Thanks for the thread. Got my 200 bonus plus 150 in "searches". Now uninstalled.

 

[Warks]

Got to 150 by day two by simply searching three letter codes more or less randomly. Worked like a charm. Only long strings (more than three letters anyway) of gibberish were knocked back.

Have been credited the 200 but I guess the 150 won't appear until the end of the month.

I have searched for the same thing many times such as AFF to log on, my bank for online banking, type in "Google" plus more. Even variants such as Bunnings, Bunnings Mile End, Bunnings Kent Town etc. Get a point each time.
