I just now found it! Not sure the "ride to cash in" is a good choice. Maybe if you don't have much time to ride the bus the cash-in is worth it. I think I'll have better luck with the daily winner of 100 pts. if I ride for a couple hours.

50 tokens = 10 points? You have to ride at least an hour just to get 50 in the first place. All those hours for probably a maximum of 40 lousy pointsif you average 245 tokens a day). If I was going to ride that long (and I admit I do while watching TV), I'd rather take my chances on the 100 points. At least 5 out of 7 days I manage to get the 100 points. Not to mention that you have to choose before you start. Would be better if you can make the decision after you see how many tokens you end up with, so if you know you are not in the running for the big points, you can at least get something for your time.

So they take a sucky promotion and make it suckier? They should have at least considered some of the suggestions that I am sure many members emailed to them.

"50 tokens = 10 points? You have to ride at least an hour just to get 50 in the first place"

You should be able to get more than 50 in an hour

Unless I don't understand the rules, you still get 5 points for every 10 minutes. Seems like their version of 10 minutes is longer than mine, but for arguements sake, lets say you get 25 "ride on" points each hour.

You should also average at least 6 hitchhiker points every 5 minutes, assuming you switch ads every 3-4 minutes. This gives you another 60-70 points in an hour. Its likely you will get one bonus hitch hiker in this time period also. So a better estimate is that you could earn 85 to ~120 tokens the first hour. Assuming you get a few featured sponsors also, an hour's worth of freeride is worthwhile, if you are browsing at the same time. To be honest, I am suprised that they are getting enough ad revenue to pay out this much.
