Question

I just don't get in, When do the bonus points pop up, after the hitchikers! I have not gotten one bonus one I get tons of 3,2,and 1 pointers. How long are you staying on each site?

I'm sorry to be such a dummy about this, but I figure my son and I must be doing something wrong(or we just are not patient enough)

The hitchhiker points appear right away, but every time you check your wallet, you have to leave the bus. I check it after about 10 hitchhikers or so, just to make sure. Sounds like you are actually having a problem getting the points. Freeride has been having trouble lately (I couldn't log on or the site was inaccessible) ... probably from too much traffic.

I'm getting the hitchiker points and so, but I am not even finding the bonus 20,30,etc. points. I haven't even seen one!(sniff, sniff)

I haven't gotten any of the bonus points either. My points show up in my wallet after each time I click on the hitchikers. I just upgraded my AOL from 4.0 to 5.0 so if anyone is still using the 4.0-freeride works MUCH better on the 5.0-I just never upgraded because I was too lazy-but it is definitely worth it. I don't think that there is a trick to it-it's probably just random and we're not lucky yet!

I can go all day without getting a bonus hitchhiker, other times I will get one or two 20 or 30 pointers. These come up just like the regular 1, 2, and 3 point hitchhikers. Seems to just be at random. Keep trying!

Definately random. I didn't see one for about 5 days and then I got 2 in one day and one the next and now haven't seen one for 2 days. They are exactly like the hitchiker ones except they say "Bonus" at the top instead of Click Me.

AND........thanks to finding out about this program and this point maker, I just earned enough for my $25 Amazon certificate...YEAH!

Just reinforcing the last couple of responses....it's been several days since I had a 20 or 30 pt. bonus rider, and I got two 20 pt. ones today! It's frustrating, but they will show up eventually!

Since the bus has started I have only had one 20 pointer. Hopefully we will get lucky soon.

i noticed if you do stay on the site for a little bit you sometimes get 3 hitchhikers for that one site.
I have never goten the bonus ones but when i let the kids do it for me they get them
oh well i guess i should just let them do it.

I was wondering the same thing myself yesterday, the only thing I could think of is that maybe the bonus ones come up after a certain amount of the low pointers, like maybe after every 75th or 100th or something...I've only gotten 1 20 point bonus so far & that was yesterday....
