Hi there evereyone. I was wondering if anyone has used SmileCity? I ma 14 and thinking of joining? I was wondering if people who have used it thought it was worth their time. Keep in mind that i'm just 14 and will do almost anything for money ;).

Just share your experinces of it please.

I gave up on it - I kept getting "Nick, earn 30 points by doing this survey"

then I click the link, and "sorry, you are not elligible"...

Ive been on it for a few years and yet to get anything out of it... you have to be on it every day doing things to get enough points to even start looking at things to order.
If youve got nothing else to do with your time, then go for it.... otherwise I wouldnt bother.

Im pretty slack with it now because of the time it takes to get anywhere... I generally login whenever Im bored, dump my points into their ebank and earn interest :-p

Got about 1200 points I think........ most of their items start at 4000+.

Yeah it takes forever to earn anything, it's not worth the bother.

Too long ago to remember or give a toss TBH. 80% of the time I "wasn't elligible" which makes me wonder why in the name of Greek buggery they even sent me the email to say I've been invited.

Just more lame marketing research for the big brands.

I don't know why I bothered! I might as well walk into a big store and just bend over and get it over and done with.

Now it is time for the hard question that we can't leave behind: don't you see an alternative world where you can actually be employed in a manner that you actually learn some abilities that can be useful in your future?

I had this issue with them as well, I now have a filter on my email that sends all their emails straight to Trash.

I wouldn't waste my time if I were you.
