We’re already on our third installment on Lockerz. So what’s new? Well, as most of you have noticed, there has been quite a bit of site instability surrounding Lockerz. There has been multiples days where the site has been down or it was simply not loading on your browser.

Lockerz has recently responded that despite these set backs they are making progress with their site upgrades. And they have even released the release date for their next batch of items on the PTZ Place prizes.

There will be a new batch set to release, Tuesday 9/15 at 5 PM EST.  New items will be added and the price on existing items will not rise from their current prices.  Unfortunately, there will only be 4x of each item, so if you arrive late, you might find your favorite items out of stock.

This leaves roughly 20 days before the redemption day. If you joined today, and only logged in and did the dailies every day, then you’d be looking at roughly 80 + your registration points. This is already enough for any Xbox360/PS3/Wii video game, and for ~1-2 minutes of work a day, it’s not too shabby if I do say so myself.

Feel free to contact me if you are interested in joining! Make sure to put “Lockerz Invite” in your title or something of that sort so I don’t miss your request.

Last Friday, Lockerz gave users the option of redeeming gifts, but their store sold out of the items in a matter of hours.
Obviously they weren’t expecting this great an influx of traffic, so both their stores and site were unable to handle us all. What does this mean for us now? Well here is the official announcement from Lockerz:

To all Lockerz members: First of all, thank you for your ongoing support of Lockerz and the input you’ve given us to make it better. We’ve been inspired by your passion, and to be honest, unprepared for the enormous numbers that we’ve grown to over the past two weeks.

We launched PTZ place as a small pre-launch test to teach early members what your PTZ would buy when we launch the full site in October. We also wanted to learn what worked and what still needed development. Thanks to you, we found out that we have a lot of work to do. Your feedback continues to be our engine for change. We are going to wait to post the next prizes until the site is fair and stable for all users. We estimate it will take about three or four weeks to bring Lockerz site performance, security and inventory level to where it needs to be for our current membership numbers and beyond. We will give you updates on our progress every Tuesday.

In the meantime, here are the things you should know:

1) All current prizes legitimately earned will be fulfilled and shipped. You’ll get them in 7-10 days from when you redeemed.
2) You can continue to earn PTZ, invite friends and make the Z-list while we do our work.
3) We’ll continue to ship Z-List T-shirts as you make the list both in the US and globally (allow 7-10 days for shipping).
4) PTZ values will not go up again when we post in a few weeks or even at the October launch.
5) When we do post the prizes again, we will have more than 4x the number we posted in this past week at the same prices.

Thanks and keep earning while we’re working 24/7 to make Lockerz what we all want it to be.

Is Lockerz a scam? Only time will tell. Their employees have a strong track record and they have promised to send out all gifts that their users have redeemed so far. Personally, I have yet to redeem anything, so I am unable to comment on this, but come October, I’m sure that I’ll have enough points to get that IPod Touch .

What do I recommend? Well, participating on Lockerz takes less than a minute everyday, so I will continue to support the site. I’m already pretty close to hitting the Z-List so a free T-Shirt isn’t too shabby either!
