So over the holidays the one thing I did keep up with relatively well was collecting my
ClubBing tickets from
Microsoft.
ClubBing, like its predecessor
ClubLive, has continued to provide some of the most worthwhile prizes available. (see what's available now, click
here) They offer a lot of simple little things but stuff that's worth having.
I've started to get a second sense for when my
ClubBing packages are arriving as well. One day I was thinking about how the
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W230 Camera I ordered should be due any day/time I went to check to see if I had missed any package drop-offs and just as I was going to look up rolled my favorite brown truck (many of the people who are big into sweeps talk about getting to know their local
UPS drivers due to the number of packages they get sent to their homes).
It's nice to finally own a pocket-sized digital camera... it has a lot of nice intuitive features, pretty easy to use from what I can tell... sad to say that right now I can't actually tell much. The darned thing uses a memory card that, as far as I can tell, is exclusive to
Sony. The
Memory Stick Pro Duo is the official name; used for many of their cameras as well as their
PlayStation Portable, which does me little to no good. I'm a photographer, I have memory cards all over the place but I've never owned a
Sony camera so Ive never had need for this particular type. Boo to wins that require purchases to function. Boo I say.
Still a camera is a camera, who am I to complain?
Other recent
ClubBing turn-ins include a DVD copy of
Up, a present for the girlfriend (but I can't say which just yet), an
Ogio half dome bag, and in the next few days I'll be turning in for my own copy of
The Black Eyed Peas'
The E.N.D. CD, and they've brought back a variety of
American Airlines' AAdvantageFlyer Miles, which I will work on collecting any time there isn't a larger prize worth aiming for.
All in all,
ClubBing still has my loyalty (even if their search engine still sucks).
It was so quick and easy to get that I had overlooked it... Having forgotten about that one I realized there's actually one more prize I'm still missing too. This one I think has really gone M.I.A. though seeing as I ordered it way back on October 18th. I already complained about it being missing once but now I'll have to complain again. The missing prize is just a little multi-tool, no big deal but still.
