I was checking out The Onion today and I came across this interesting points program. This is a pretty cool idea, but I don’t see it on Salon or Boston.com, two other Spring-Street powered sites I visit often. I wonder if they are testing this on a subset of all their properties as a pilot program?
The deal is that between 4/1/04 – 12/31/04, every time Onion Personals Points are purchased with a MasterCard, free credits (no value) will be added to the purchaser’s account. TheOnion.com and Spring St. Networks reserves the right to refuse any purchase for any reason. (ed. emphasis- why would they refuse a purchase?) The promotion is valid within the following packages:
Buy 25 points get 1 free
Buy 50 points get 3 free
Buy 100 points get 5 free
More details at The Onion.
