Time sink - Club Bing - may be worth revisiting

Club Bing used to run under a different name - MSN Live Search Club, which I wrote about here. Still basically the same as MSN Live, this site is a time sink... albeit one that can result in prizes.

I wouldn't say the prizes have improved; however, I did recently redeem for a Net Ball Game that would have lasted longer if I had not let my 4 year old near it (he undid the intricate netting... think snow shoes.) At any rate, I have about 1,200 odd points now and am planning to save up for hammock. I have delusions of grandeur here - I don't think I have the wherewithal or luck to gather enough points up to get a Zune.

In the past, when under the MSN Live Search moniker, I did redeem for some nice techy prizes. It would be a disservice to say that those prizes shipped quickly. More like slower than molasses in January. But in all fairness, the Net Ball game came within a reasonable time frame (about a month).

So, if you find yourself wasting time on Facebook apps, think about Club Bing instead. At least if you play games there, you can earn tickets... making it a time sink worth revisiting if you haven't been there in a while.

As always, read the rules. Some prizes are limited to 1 per household. Read before you redeem!

P.S. My kids love Chicktionary - they find all the 3 and 4 letter words and I finish the rest. Easy tickets! Though for more bang for your time, I recommend Flexicon... particularly if you are good at crossword puzzles. Be sure to sign up for emails as they have been having double tickets day regularly and that is an awesome way to build tickets faster. Club Bing is also free to join.
