rtsl35 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 I recently rejoined GTM and I'm having a real big issue redeeming my 1000 points! I have 1000 points so I finally went to redeem them. I added a nice $20 buck Paypal to my cart. I was about to redeem but then I saw this message below my cart: Sorry, your cart total does not meet the minimum points to redeem. The minimum number of MarketPoints needed to redeem is 1,000 What! Now I like GTM very much, but I have to spend all the points to redeem? Not only that, I tried to add some more paypal's into my cart and some amazon GF's, but I couldnt not make the number EXACTLY 1000! Is anyone else having this problem? How do you even the things you buy, to exactly 1000!?!?!?? *I knew you have to first make 1000 points to enter the redemption catalogue but I didn't know you have to use them ALL at once! How do I do this, please help or some suggestion. Also I just finished a survey (so now my balance is 1000) so is it possible maybe it just didnt register yet?

They changed the cash out. 1,100 for 2 $25 Amazon. I don't know how much they raised it for the other options......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avemaria Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 1100 for check and 1150 for paypal.. to get around saying they're now charging for these 'rewards'.. they simply changed their point values so the new people won't notice... you only have to have 1000 reward points total in your cart to cash out.. it can't be less.

avemaria Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 i see more now what you're saying.. your cashout total doesn't have to equal 1000.. it only has to reach that point.. you can go over 1000, just not under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtsl35 Posted July 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 i see more now what you're saying.. your cashout total doesn't have to equal 1000.. it only has to reach that point.. you can go over 1000, just not under. this is so confusing... But, if I ONLY have 1,000 then I can't redeem any paypals (I need atleast 1,150)? And you say it has to reach that [email protected] basically, if you have anything below 1000-in your cart, you can NOT cash/checkout? If so, now I see why they say you can't go into the catalogue until u reach 1000. Thanks for the help all you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avemaria Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 basically yeah.. you need 1000 to cash out.. but the costs of paypal are such that you need more than that to 'fit' any combo in your cart to cash out.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosiesmom Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 I cashed out just before they went to this and I haven't taken a survey since with them. I do not understand how an Amazon CG could cost them anything other than what they pay for it. I do believe Paypal charges a fee, but I am using Paypal less and less anyway.

jberri12 Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Lightspeed Research (who owns GTM now) uses a third-party, Perks Plus, to do their reward fulfillment. I'm sure they charge Lightspeed a fee for doing that, which they have turned right around and charged us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtsl35 Posted July 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Yea the cashout process is so bizarre. Even just the point to make these strange "combo's" are weird! But I'll see what I can do once I reach atleast 1,150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1957horses Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 need 70 more for 2nd cash-out new system................. Amazon of course................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avemaria Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 i cashed out for amazon yesterday and am still waiting.. Valued Opinions it comes instantly and they charge $2 for a $20 cashout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About these crazy "combo's"..... If say I make a combo of some amazon gift cards and paypal gift cards (like 50% each) or like 25% paypal 75% amazon) I still need at least 1,150? I'm becoming impatient with these rewards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A $50 paypal at 575 leaves you with having to find something for 425 to reach 1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtsl35 Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 i cashed out for amazon yesterday and am still waiting.. Valued Opinions it comes instantly and they charge $2 for a $20 cashout. I finally made enough to cashout! I had alittle over 1,000 and was able to do a combo with paypal and amazon. Have you received your Amazon gift card yet?
