echo.com reward points

[Florence42]

Just a note to anyone collection points listening to the music on echo.com. I love the music, but when I saved enough points to get an $18 amazon.com gift certificate I got an email saying echo.com was so "wildly successful" that it might be as much as two months before the certificates would be sent out. I don't know if the other rewards are as slow, but amazon.com was really the only thing that interested me.

I am glad to know that I am not the only one waiting around for a month for my GC to arrive. I sent off for my first one back in July and have yet to seen it. Their reply is to please be patient - they are working as fast as they can. I'm not complaining - It is a really easy way to earn the GC's. Let's just hope we have them before X-mas rolls around.

How does echo work? When I go to their site, it makes me download the realplayer 8.0 which costs $29.99. Is there a way to bypass this or do I have to put the money up front in order to use echo?

There are two versions of realplayer. The basic version is free - realplayer plus is $29.95. They talk about both on the site and try to steer you towards the higher version. Just stay focused on the freebie!

Thanks Florence42. I will check them out and start getting soem $$$$$!

I can't get echo to work! Everytime I click on a station it sits there for ever saying something like downloading (actually it's another word, but means the same thing). I've let it sit there for hours and it never does anything. I already have realplayer installed.
I have no clue what's the problem. Does anyone know what's wrong?

I have been having the same problem. I just closed the window and went back to the echo.com and started over.

I just requested a Amazon gc from them and got a response that I would get it in 7-14 day. I have gotten 4 gc already.
