Q: Are we still Redeeming points?
Well im on my ay back to China soon and was wondering if it was worth my while trading in some points
Anybody tried to do it lately ?
8 years 50 weeks ago in Money & Banking - China
5 weeks and no jackets or communication but they took the points.
bet i get another administration pm saying in future contact admin by pm
I really don't care you are embarrassed . you know foreigners will complain publicly and this is a web site for foreigners isn't it ?
sorrel:
i wonder if the so-called 'respected' new poster/moderators (whoever they are, probably Delphine and Hal) will step up to the mark and take a look at this on your behalf.
Half of the time I don't even get points, the system is broken.
my xxxL jacket barely fits around my belly today ..it is a quality jacket the flashlights work and the razor is as expected (garbage),, but then that is why I have always used a blade.
I got these things.... surprise surprise ..... jacket belongs up north, not guangdong... winter jacket, not rain jacket... don't get me wrong, it is a good jacket
the flashlights are good ... quality stuff.... good luck ordering a 100 of them ..I got 2
I won't bother because most of my posts are rubbish 
.
I am not worthy.
The F-111 jet I received is pretty cool, although I cannot fly it most days without at least 50 interceptors cramping my style.
The crate of Ak-47s for "Top Answer of the Day" were well received but not of much use to me (at this time).
Yes we still do! Send your request Mr. Philbravery!
icnif77:
I had a look this morning at my points, and .....have a look. Just see log-in points I received for today. It looks 'broken' to me. 'Contact Us' tab 'doesn't exist', so I'm writing comment instead.
philbravery:
Dam I hate it when you are right 
Ohh well
,Admin has left me many many messages over the years
so I will just reply via that 
Ok Admin we are putting you to the test 
I just ordered 2 XL jackets in black on 2 different order forms
I put a contact number in and the address is correct
the date today is May 7th
the clock has started
icnif77:
It looks like, you'll need to add some sand (dunes) to your clock
philbravery:
I think that Echina will come through
I will be posting a weekly up date so unless admin has something to hide
this post and my order will come through by the time I leave China in mid June.
thats about 5 weeks
COME ON ADMIN SHOW US THAT YOU ARE AS GOOD AS YOUR WORD
Just before CNY I got some emails from mods, that my order of jacket is ready to be send and that I may expect it at some days later. I wait still till now, my point are same as before, so ...
Star Date Day 9
and still no conformation that my order has been paced yet the points are gone 
will they make contact?
I have never been able to figure out where you guys redeem points for prizes. Every "redeem points" link I find links me to some service tied with the job section, having to do wtih featuring your resume or showing who's viewed it... example...
http://www.echinacities.com/main/reception_help/details/1/13/14#con31
I have far too few points to redeem for a physical item but I'm curious what these jackets look like... I mean, they are jackets that fit foreign bodies! It's worth a look. Something tells me they aren't leather bomber jackets though 
philbravery:
Im sure Admin is keeping a eye on this thred so you will most likely get a PM or a reply here
Admin is not stupid , he knows that we are judgeing ECC perfrmance
jetfire9000:
They're not worried about any people here paying attention" to them - what's the worst that could be done? A certain "union" started against them? There's already certain websites purporting such.
16 days ago I put my order in and still no sign o the Jackets or conformation at they are on the way
will Echina preform ?
or have i wasted my points ?
I will be in China next week and hope they get there before I go home
Hello Philbravery and others,
We will try to get you jackets around Children's Day! In the past, we have sent emails to confirm with users about their gift delivery addresses but never got reply. This is reason for some requests that have not been processed to the end.
Best,
Admin Cat
icnif77:
Woow, I just want to whine on 'Contact Us' button, buTT.....you fix it. This afternoon
BHGAL:
I too got a couple of e-mails confirming my orders ... thing is, I already got my orders.
delete me....or send me more, I don't care.
icnif77:
Always, when I comment at Admin's post, 'down' vote triggers automatically. Me thinks, it must be some kind of 'karma'.
things are looking good
today i got the courier details in a Email
to cover the postage fee
I exchanged the points for items today.
Let's see how that goes and glad to have helped many people around China with their questions! And giving out my experiences (the good and the bad).
my account says I have 852 points but when I check the redeem screen I haven't enough points for any product!
icnif77:
Keep working. You might be able to add cash to your total points no. for the high priced items.
Stiggs:
Yeah well your profile says you've been a member since 1970. Something isn't kosher there...
I've seen that a few times now. Something doesn't add up with someone so you have a look at their profile and see they have been a member of this website since before there was an internet.
Hmmmm
brasidas:
Actually you get points for other things besides questions. I checked the points log, logging on seems get you a point. My membership date is typical of a system reset date, so I suspect I must have joined at a time when the system had been re-booted but the date had not been reset. I have noticed that sometimes when I log on the points displayed were much less. System error.
Thanks for the replies.
How should I exactly 'behave' with my 'redeem order'?
I plan to wait for another 2500 days, when my point number will hit 10 (ten) raincoats.
I'm fairly divided between two options: 'should I place my order at once, or should I wait for heavy torrential downpour......
, before I submit my coat's size?
philbravery:
instead of a rain coat maybe a straight jacket would be more up your ally
icnif77:
Don't forget my number: 't-e-n'. I don't think, they ask for the 'size' in 'dormitories'.
I had to write sumtin', so other posters can 'jealous-themselves' in their condos.
Bo Jie s- Poon on the teli. I got to go.......She said 'no rain'. I'll might go for flashlights, instead. 'A truck of lights'
Robk:
Get them now cause you never know if the coats will run out later. I got me some... so now you gonna get none! Bwahahahaa!
Take that crazy cat!
ScotsAlan:
Do it the Chinese way. Do nothing, then when you almost die from rain exposure, complain to ECC that its all their fault for not knowing the rain was coming, not knowing you need a jacket, and that they should pay all your medical bill :)
icnif77:
See this article:
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-04-23/60-chinas-water-too-polluted-drink
You'll always be happy to have a sip of water, while here. Need some raincoats, too!
well done echina
the jackets arrived today and are exactly what you said they were
thank you for your efforts
very happy
kindest regards
Phil
icnif77:
Can/did you get personalized logo on the back of the raincoat?
If you did, I know what's written on your coat. It begins with capital 'S' and contains word 'China' once.
ok Echina time for another test
i need more jackets because it is bloody cold in nth east china
lets see if you can do as well as last year
and to the other members i will again keep you in the loop
Spiderboenz:
Good luck. Half of the time I don't get points for answering.
start he clock I just placed my Jacket order for me and my family
hope they get ere before me as it is bloody cold in Heilongjiang this time of year
I hope Jessica s still working there at Echina 
sorrel:
did you ask Jessica where Echina was located so you could visit them?
I redeem all the time. Sumtin..
Did you know, you must include smiley in the end of the short replies? Like reply 'Thank you!' won't fetch you any points, if no smiley is included.
You're talking about 'spending', and am 'accumulating'.
How many points do you need? I've got 6250, is that any good?
royceH:
Still 6252, so it seems like you get two points for a reply but none for a comment.
You learn something everyday, even when you're doing nothing but stay home and pull the pud. Ain't life a twist!
philbravery:
if i give you a thumbs up you get 10 points i had 10000 so a few jackets is not a problem
icnif77:
Hit 'redeem points' under your handle, and see what's the choice on rewards....Then, read Phil's posts here .
2weeks 1 day
no communication from echina
2000 points taken yet wanted 4 jackets
sounds like alibaba all over again
3weeks now still no communication5 weeks and no jackets or communication but they took the points.
bet i get another administration pm saying in future contact admin by pm
I really don't care you are embarrassed . you know foreigners will complain publicly and this is a web site for foreigners isn't it ?
sorrel:
i wonder if the so-called 'respected' new poster/moderators (whoever they are, probably Delphine and Hal) will step up to the mark and take a look at this on your behalf.
WHAT? WHAT? NO JACKET FOR PHIL! I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!!!
I've spent years posting on this farking site as part of a long terms plan to quit my day job ("businesswoman", for those playing at home) and go into the cheap-jacket trade. I feel personally betrayed, and this will necessitate a total rethink of my plans...
icnif77:
We could form a chain of (invisible) jackets retail around the world, even. However, I think we would not agree on the 'logo' content.
I can't make my cat correctly pronounce letter 'c'...
It always comes out 'e-China-tities'
MissA:
Icnif, I think you're forgetting one of the fundamental laws of the jungle. A tiger will kill a housecat every time they're in proximity.
Every. Single. Time.
It wouldn't work, sorry.
icnif77:
about 'Every. Single. Time.': You didn't see my thread, where tiger befriended goat given to him as a snack?
See this:
http://answers.echinacities.com/question/china-tiger-or-goat-2015-year-goat-china-cnbcs-reportingfrom-russia
Tiger was napping on the top of his house, and goat was napping inside the tiger's bed...room
Goat was chasing tiger around their place, and in the end tiger got goat....buTT..press reported as 'goat was killed by an accident...
My cat is dyslectict ....in other words 'no-mercy-cat'
