As anyone can see I don't spend much time in the forums. I've been playing here for a few months, on a daily basis now (although not a large number of rounds logged). At this point I don't recall what link led me to bee-bop around the forums for a bit. I do know that I came across the other 12th day of Christmas threads and I wanted to express how impressed I am at the generosity, goodwill, and thoughtfulness behind this idea.
I'm not a terribly social person but seeing different CCs being involved here has me leaning towards looking into a membership. The genius (or geniuses) who thought up this giveaway and all of the generous folks participating deserve a big round of applause.
I should note that I'm not seeking to collect one of the wedges. While I've never purchased credits (not in the budget, sadly) I have spent quite a bit of time with the free offers to earn credits. I've been able to upgrade my equipment (here's hoping they have all been the smartest purchases!) and pick up a sleeve of balls when needed (now if I could only buy talent...). Hell, I'm inspired to perform my own little giveaway!
Since I've succeeded in making this all about me, I'll close with some advice to the folks who are still toting their starter clubs around the course:
If you haven't started earning free credits by completing offers, get to it. If you've tried a few but found out you didn't qualify or looked briefly and saw several that require purchase, don't be discouraged. There is a ton there.
I've noticed a number of posts where people say they are earning credits little by little from watching videos. If you've been limiting yourself to videos and hoping to qualify for a PeanutLabs survey, dig deeper! If you have an iPhone/iPad you could pick up 500-1500 credits in under an hour. TrialPay has several "free app download" offers that are worth 75 or 100 credits - you enter an email you check on your phone, TP mails you a link, you tap, download from the App Store, run the app, and voila. Supersonic Ads will email you a link for your phone that loads a list of downloadable apps in Safari; some are 30-50 credits, some 100-150!
I'm not a salesman (well, not here anyways), I won't make one red cent off this post. Given that plenty of new(-ish) people are coming through here I figured I'd give what I can, which is advice on how to find the easy credits.
In fact, if you'd like a little more advice on where to look for easy offers or offers worth a bundle of credits, send me a friend request or a message...can we send messages between players? I have no idea. You could post on my wall as well...maybe someone can advise me on the best way to communicate? Just keep this in mind: if you're looking to upgrade your entire bag all at once, it will require at least a week or two where you spend as much time completing offers as you do playing. Hey, I said they are generally easy - not all are quick!
Merry Christmas to all!
