Recently I received a lot of buzz regarding a program/website called Lockerz from online friends. Lockerz is an online site that allows you to earn points (PTZ) for online activities such as buying things, discover new music, play games, hang out with your friends.
The main buzz comes from its reward. According to its website:
You get 2 PTZ for sign up, ~ 20 to 30 PTZ for catching the falling PTZ flash game. Everyday forward you will receive 2 PTZ for login and 2 PTZ for answer the Dailies question.
Some of the prizes include:
150 PTZ for an iPod
600 PTZ for an ipod touch
3000 PTZ for 42” HDTV
and many more
If you use the website everyday you will earn at least 4 PTZ, which will take 38 days to get an ipod. The reward is very generous and I have a feeling it will scale down once it gains traction. Some of people on Lockerz’s Facebook fan page likes the program better than Swagbucks. As of now, I can’t say whether it is better than Swagbucks but if they do hold up to their promises, it will be a much rewarding program.
Currently Lockerz is in beta mode and membership is by invite only. Drop me a line in the comments if you like to try out the program.
Update (Feb 2010): After attempting to redeem a prize from Lockerz for the past couple months, I have all but given up. If you like to earn extra cash on the side, I would recommend checking up InstantCashSweepStakes. Their payout is small but it adds up quickly. Lockerz, on the other hand, has grand promises that are much harder to fulfill.

Hello, is this a worldwide program? If it is, I’d like to be invited.
Have a nice day!
i like the sound of it can i have the invite code please
This reminds me of the email claiming if I forwarded it to X number of people, the Gap would send me a free pair of jeans.
Hi Vange,
I believe most of the programs are like that. There are usually some kind of incentive for the current members to try to bring in new members.
I usually setup an extra email box in which I sign up for these kind of programs. A lot of times they are scams, but there are a few which I have encountered that is fairly legit. Swagbucks is a very good example.

I got the invite but there was no code and it wouldn’t let me sign up. Help.
I normally don’t join sites like Lockerz. I’m not on Swagbucks, since I’m not likely to change my search behavior. However, Lockerz sounds interesting and I’d like an invite if you have any.
I checked out the background of their company, which talks about Liberty Media being their funder, so it looks pretty respectable.
Also, I stopped by in part because of Cornyman’s contest. I won a bit last week and I think it is a great contest.
This sounds similar to Boomertowne, which went bust long before many people had a chance to cash out their points. I was one of them. My advice would be to get what you can early because they may not be able to sustain all the promises once they get a lot of people just trying to rack up points.
Hi Jen,
I send you a PM through Entrecard.
Hi Aldon,
Thanks for commenting on my blog. I already send you an invite.
Hi sharkbytes,
I totally agree with you. That is the problem with these programs.
So far there are a couple that are legit. Swagbucks is one of them.
Lockerz, I still haven’t figure out how they are generating revenue
so it will be good to see what happens in a couple months.
Please drop me a lockers invite

Hi Jason, Cass, Rob, Kuru, Angie,
An invite has been send out to you guys. Hope you enjoy Lockerz!
As of right now, lockerz sucks and your chance of even getting a prize during their stock days are maybe 2%. My advice to you is, not even bother. You can read the discussions on their facebook page.
Hi Jeleco,
I do agree with you that they are having a lot of problems keeping their servers up right now. However, since the service is free, I am willing to give them a little more time to get their act in order and fix their issues.
Can I have an invite as well?
