Advantages: Plenty of opportunities to gain Trocas (but is it a con)
Disadvantages: Suspicious it may be a con!
Before I tell you why I have an inclination that this site is a con, I'll explain what the site is all about. Unlike some other loyality scheme sites on the net, trocamania seems to have plenty of opportunities to gain rewards: - You can earn "trocass' by - - Surfing websites, by clicking on links and visiting them; you can visit the same site each month once and get trocas each time - normally you'll earn 1 - 5 trocas depending on which site you visit. - Answering short questions called troca questions, a new one every few days - great thing about this is if you havent visited in a while you can still answer the questions you missed and still get points for it. You get 5 points for answering the current question and 2 points for each question you've missed. - Referring friends to the site - Purchasing/signing up for items/offers on the net - There's also a survey section which hasnt become operational yet. You can redeem the trocias earned on gifts/vouchers etc picked from tons of companies. Okay, now to my doubts... after gaining enough trocas for a 10USD Amazon gift voucher (800 trocas) - this option disappeared within days and I now have to save enough trocas for a 50USD voucher! Coincidence? Hmm In addition to this, I no longer have the option to answer the Troca questions - there is no option to do so under 'earn' anymore, meaning I will find it very difficult to gain trocas unless I purchase items from sites! I am very suspicious indeed about this and it would be interesting to know if this has happened to anyone else!
