Yet another blog!

I get lots of neat promo codes from the shops featured in the rebate shopping section, so I've started a blog to post some of them. Here's the link: http://cashduckcodes.blogspot.com/

It'll be updated with new codes when I receive them, and you can search for a shop using the search box at the upper left of the blog page. Keep your eyes peeled!

Woah new things

It's been a bit overwhelming so far, but I think I like most of CashDuck's new features, and they seem to be working as intended. Daily surveys may be a bit of a problem - they don't seem to be approving very well - but it may just require some more waiting and for people to get the hang of them. Teams are awesome - we have four already and some more in the works. Don't forget, you can use teams to fundraise for a local charity, or a Boy or Girl Scout troop, etc. It's not limited to big national charities.

Two cool contests going on right now - one where you get a bonus for completing offers, and a referral contest. CashDuck has never run a referral contest before, so I'm interested to see how it goes. The referral contest has cash prizes both for the winners and for the teams of the winners. So if you think you're going to go for a prize, don't forget to join (or create) a team!

Quackers will be back once I have time to work on it a little. And there's a new Kudos task, too. :)

Aaaaaand we're back!

There are lots of awesome new things coming with CashDuck's reopening, so here's a quick rundown. Please check the help files for more info - if you have a question that the help files don't address, send me an email or trouble ticket.

Numero Uno Most Important - TEAMS!! This was a huge effort by Andrew, the programmer that keeps CashDuck and many other sites in top shape, so I'm really pleased with how everything turned out. Basically, a team is a group of CashDuck members who get their own board on the forum, and raise money for a charity that they sponsor. So if you'd like to raise money for a cause that's important to you, your child's Boy Scout troop, or a local humane society, you can use CashDuck to help them. Whenever you earn cash or feathers, your team's charity will get a bonus of 2% on that amount. The more people you get on your team, the more your charity will earn!

2 - Daily Surveys!! These were another frequently requested item. CashDuck now has two surveys that you can take once every 24 hours, and they are worth 10 feathers each. So if you do them every day, that's about 600 feathers a month from those alone. Add that to the whopping numbers of new offers, and you've got some serious earning going on.

3 - Conversion to a feathers-based system. The reason that I'm able to get all these great new offers is because CashDuck is now offering feathers instead of cash for surveys and trials. You will continue to be able to earn both cash and feathers from rebate shopping. The list of gift cards up right now is just a beginning - if you have a store you'd like to see gift cards to, please send me an inbox message or email, and I will see if I can get the cards. Gift cards will be sent out on the same schedule as cash payments were - ie, make your withdrawal by the end of the month, and the payments will be made at the end of the next month. Plus, if you request a bigger gift card, it costs proportionally fewer feathers. If you request multiple gift cards during one month, they'll be combined at payout time and you may receive one big one.

This message will be reposted to the forum - if you have questions, please post them there so everyone can see the answers.

I am so excited to be back - this is pretty awesome!
