Hello everyone, This is just a suggestion but I was thinking that since they took away the option of earning credits, maybe we should email GetGlue @ ggsupport@getglue.com and give them some ideas about how we could earn credits. Of course they would have to be ideas that would be fair to all and easy enough that it would be an equal opportunity for all to earn them.
For example (this was my suggestion): They could have a surprise sticker of the week, we would not know what it is until the end of the week but if we checked into that particular sticker then we would earn a credit. This is something that would be fair to everyone and would limit peoples ability to cheat the system. Your feedback on this idea would be appreciated.
I have already sent them my suggestion, if you decide to send them a suggestion please let us know here that you have done so and what you idea was also. I think that if enough of us submit ideas that maybe they will have to listen to us and bring back a way for us to start receiving credits again.
Thank you for your time, Hugs to all, Kathy♥

yea i dont know what would be good really. your idea is good, but that limits us to one credit a week. it would take an entire year to unlock all the ones i need atm haha! i mean maybe do that for one thing but also have other options. i know people dont want to pay and i dont really want to either, but maybe just if you wanted a lot of extras. say you start a new show and want the set you could buy the credits to get them fast. not something you want to pay for alot just sometimes. but it would have to be pretty cheap. i dont want it to have to do with people liking your posts or commenting and stuff cuz i dont want to have to deal with other people lol.

I understand what you mean, but I was thinking most people have more than one account so they could still possibly earn more than one credit a week.
I was thinking that it would just be nice to hear what other peoples ideas would be. If you think we should do away with this thread that is fine, I was just trying to get some ideas flowing that's all.

That is so true about people contacting gg I think that was a big red flag to them. Yeah, I wouldn't want gg to get wise to the multiple accounts thing that could ruin it. I know that it would take a long time to get enough credits but at the same time it is a fair way for everyone. I mean not everyone could even figure out gg's last idea, I don't think I was ever able to get credits without any issues when I was trying to get people to join going through facebbok. With this idea everyone would be able to earn a credit as long as they checked into the right sticker.

I have had a few ideas but haven't sent them to GetGlue yet because of school work.
1. They can award credits for watching ads and that would generate revenue for the site so that they can fix it and the app (I literally have to force quit the App every time I use it) 2. They can make a points system where you get X amount of points for checking in to shows when they're live and then you save your points and use them to get credits. So say you check into Greys Anatomy, you would get 10 points plus the episode sticker. Then to get a credit, it can cost like 100 points or something like that. 3. They can bring quizzes, polls, and show/movie related games on to the site and you can earn credits that way. Like if you watch an episode of Scandal, the next day there can be a quiz or poll and you answer it to get credits. Its super interactive and that way people would only be able to get credits if they actually watch the shows they're checking in to. 4. They can take the easy way out and make you pay for them, which I for one will not do but others may.
I saw a bunch of people posting on the blog that it should be base on fan/sf/ultimate fan check ins but that would put the users who have been on the site for years S.O.L because we earned those ages ago for all the shows we regularly check in to.

Hello jayypee09, thank you for sharing your ideas. I really appreciate it, I particularly like the earning points for checking into the shows that is a great idea. I'm with you if they start to charge for the stickers I'm out! I did get a reply from gg about my suggestion not sure if it is just a form letter or not but I will post it here so that when others submit ideas we can compare notes. Here's the reply from gg below, I will keep you posted: Hi Kathy, Thanks for taking the time to send over this suggestion, we really appreciate it! We will pass this along to our team for further consideration. Thanks for being a fan, Allison GetGlue Support GetGlue.com

I sent my ideas to them after I posted here so we will see if I get a response. I typically get a quick response when I write them about how they make all the Glee stickers have the same person on them so we'll see if they respond when I write a kind, cordial email instead lol

i like the quizzes idea, because you can check into anything you want and get the sticker, but unless youre just a lucky guesser you would actually have to watch the shows to get the credits, which would be good for them cuz if people want credits they may look into more shows so they can do more quizzes. i just want it to be a solo thing. nothing to do with other people. i hate having to rely on other people to get things done. like if it were dependent on people liking your comments are stuff that you can't control. I just don't like those ideas!
