You were rewarded the 20$? I have a question!

FrankLp — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 10:46:03 GMT

I'm trying to figure out just how much active do I need to be to earn that 20$, how active/helpfull were you? Approximately how much time did you spend on the forums? How many posts/replies?

Just trying to figure out if it's worth my time or if I should just visit every once in a while, thanks!

Only Oracle members get the $20. Other members get max $15 per 30 days. It is way lower than the minimum wage.

If you think your time has value then this is not anything resembling the best value for your time.

I was pretty active back in the days and so were other members. It was like a competition lol

I would say just browse the community whenever you can. No one can tell you exactly how many hours you have to be online each day. Just try for a month or two and see if you can earn some rewards. It might be difficult at the start, but onward it gets easier.

I am at the $20 mark and I bet I could make more by returning recyclable cans for cash than I get for a community reward here for the time spent.

So definitely not worth the time spent is the answer I was looking for. Alright thanks for the reply and helping out the community so much for so little!

I am not so sure about you, but i like to hang around the staff lounge 🙂

We don't get anything returning pop cans. I guess I am stuck with this doing this gig.

Frank, it is definately something we don't do for the money. I like being around here helping the reward money is a bonus as I already save a lot compared to my old provider

It depends how much you are trying to get off, it takes only a few minutes month to hit the $2 top 25%.

The higher you go the significantly more it takes to be in that bracket. IMO the $5 top 10% is the sweet spot... something you should be able to do in less than 15 minutes per month.

I was pretty optimistic with the rewards prior to school resuming. I felt like I used to visit the site daily and help out whenever I could. Then this month gone by and I barely have posted.

I have since gotten quite a few referrals. I am "paying" less than what I was paying on Chatr which was the point of switching. Unlike Koodo's referral bonuses which deduct only $10 per month, the $25 public mobile referral promo that has since ended all get added as credit and it all can be used right away in the next month. With that said, even if all my referrals disappeared, I'll still have a few months of free service. But hopefully they stick around and the promo returns for more credit.

Your pop cans are only 5 cent deposit still? What province are you in? Alberta was raised to 10 years ago. I guess we are one of the most environmentally conscious provinces though.

If I divide my total community rewards by the number of hours on the forum it equals $0.1403098509207833/hr. The hours online doesn't seem correct or at least I hope I haven't spent that many hours online

But Robert, it doesn't quite work like this. Because we are in a friendly competition, the reward levels are relative to other's participation. To be safe, you do a little more. Others might think the same. It's a ratcheting effect. Soon you are aspiring to reaching the next level given the time invested. This happened to me. Long story short, do what is comfortable and let the chips fall where they may.
