Club Bing



I have been a member of Club Bing for years.  There is not too much I can tell you about it now because it is closing down =(
It was fun while it lasted...
Anyway, this is what I used to do with Club Bing:
Everyday, I could play word games or do searches and earn up to 500 points.  I accumulated points that I would use to earn prized.  Over the lifetime of Club Bing (3 1/2 years) I have received:

*6 pens
*13 shirts
*1 travel tumbler
*1 net ball game set
*7,100 airline miles
*1 Aero-bed self-inflating camp mat
*1 Bed Head hair straightener
and last but not least...
*1 Sony PRS 600 Reader Touch Edition

This last prize- the reader- is what just arrived today!  I am charging it now and can't wait to read my first book on it tonight!!!  I have wanted a reader since they came out, but have not had the "extra" money to spend on that kind of a "wanted" NOT "needed" thing.  It may not be the fanciest most up-to-date reader, but it was free, so that works for me =)
Club Bing provided us with some fun and some needed things all of which we received for free... Now, they will be closing down.  May 31st, 2012 is the last day for Club Bing.  You can still play games and win prizes until then, but you won't get anything big.  You can only earn 500 points per day.  With only 55 more days to play, you can win up to 27, 500 points.  The prizes are dwindling though, and will probably not be available by the time you can redeem the points.  I have stopped playing because there is nothing left worth playing for. 

The prizes I have already won will be enjoyed, and, I hope that Club Bing will revive itself and come back with more great prizes.
