Is Lockerz a Scam?
Posted By Tony on August 18th, 2009
The Get Paid To community has been in an uproar after the launch of a new rewards based site–Lockerz.
Questions have been brought up about the legitimacy of a site that rewards you for doing just about anything.
So what is Lockerz?
Lockerz.com is a brand new site that rewards you for just about everything you do. Registration is very easy and members can earn points extremely quickly. One of the main reasons why its popularity is spreading so rapidly is because it’s very easy to earn enough points to redeem a variety of merchandise. This includes MacBooks, Designer Handbags, Video Games, iPods, Nintendo Wiis and much more.
How it works
You can earn points in 3 ways:
1. Logging in each day.
2. Answering the question of the day.
3. Referring new members.
For example, in the first day alone, I got 23ptz through registration, 2 ptz for signing in, and another 2 ptz for answering the question of the day. All this for a grand total of 27pts! What does this all mean? Well, I can already redeem many videos games such as GTA4, which is priced 25pts!
Is Lockerz.com a legitimate website?
As a testament to the legitimacy of Lockerz.com, its CEO, Kathy Savitt, used to be Vice President at Amazon.com and the CMO at American Eagle. Lockerz.com major financial contributors is Liberty Media, which owns a major part of Time Warner, which is the firm that supports Bodybuilding.com and QVC.
Currently, Lockerz is in beta and access is invitation only.

I think this isint a scam, is just a really good idea for a business (in this case, a simple store)
Im close to 300 ptz and if someday they let my buy something with a discount, ok! i just spend a few minutes everyday like i do with Taringa, Hotmail, Facebook and shit and they never give anything for exchange…
so, ill keep loggin and answering question, eventually ill get something valuable, paying with discount or free (i hope the last one
)
Sorry for the writing, i have no practice at all doing it..
im Nicolas from Argentina.

I don’t think Lockerz is a straight up scam, but it is shady as hell. I haven’t seen a redemption period yet (I just joined up a few days ago) but I’ve already heard so many horror stories it doesn’t seem like it’s worth the hassle.
P.S. the argument that the former Amazon C.E.O. is affiliated with it means nothing. It’s obviously a real company with backers, but that doesn;t mean they still can’t rip you off. They wouldn’t be much of a business if they didn’t make some sort of profit.
its a scam or not?
did some1 get something?
The reason people are saying it’s a scam is… well, mostly because they’re stupid sheep that hear one opinion and don’t know how look into something and gain their own opinion, but also because of some people not getting their prizes. They didn’t anticipate how many people would get such points at such speeds, so they didn’t have the time to stock everything to supply the demand, and a few people (less that 5%) didn’t get their prizes. It makes sense, because it is very easy to get points, and things are pretty cheap on there, so they got more requests than they could handle at the time. My brother has already gotten Modern Warfare 2 from the site, and I’m going to get my Ipod Touch 32GB when I get the points. Try the site out, if you get invited.
It’s a scam
Supposedly people have gotten their prizes from this site, but EVERYTHING redeemable on the site right now is not available, and they will not say when they will resupply.. If this was legit, that should not happen. They need to be more open about the way their system works – so people do not have to ask if the site is a scam or not. The owners post video blogs and they truthfully are an obnoxious two guys you can picture laughing all the way to the bank on this one. Will they try to keep it running? sure, I’m guessing so. But right now it is effectively a scam when the user cannot benefit in any way.
it’s not a scam, my friend redeemed Batman: Arkham Asylum for X360.

I wouldn’t say that’s a reason for it to be a scam. If they told you when it would be back in stock, everyone would rush on that day for something. The fact that they don’t say, but I know stuff goes in stock (kids in my school have Lockerz shirts on), is a way for them to get you to check out the site daily, multiple times a day to try to snag something.
On top of that, the point value for things are surprisingly low.. I’m not sure how they’re making money, but it probably has something to do with the items never being in stock (so it seems).
Yeah, I really wish I knew when we could redeem, I’m 120 ptz in, and I’m worried I’ll never get to redeem it for anything.
this is not a scam! see my website and there is a proof there.
Whenever I see positive comments about Lockerz.com its like:
“my friend received…”, “my brother got….” and so on..
I never seen: “I RECEIVED”.
