Just wondering if anyone's been able to redeem things from the BIG Industries Reward Program on EL and if they've got a similar 50 business day cash out policy like MA lol.
I signed up for that 10 years ago as an "eh, might as well..." and slowly over the years I churned along a few points here and there to where I was finally able to cash in for the 100 ped reward. I figure this is probably as good as it's gonna get for me with that program so might as well cash it in now.
I placed my redemption on the EL site March 28th and got a mail on the site saying someone would contact me "shortly".
Since then I've heard nothing and I don't even know who to reach out to about this - there's literally zero info about this anywhere. I've tried a few places and reaching out to no avail. I had someone who saw a post of mind about this mention in a PM in game of another person to contact about it so I mailed them in game Apr 30th asking about it and if they were someone I should speak to about it. I heard back from them in a mail response 2 days later saying "Yes, hello. I've trying to reach you for a while". That's it. No mention of how they were trying to reach me since I didn't get any messages in game, on the forum or even on EL and no next steps or anything. But whatever....maybe they were trying to reach me through channeling the spiritual energy of lootius - who knows.
Anyways, I tried giving them contact info and times that I could be online but never heard back. My last message I tried sending was this past Saturday. So maybe it was a troll the whole time with this person or... maybe they've been consulting the alchemy charts of Madagascar this whole time to know when the best zen time is to respond or hand the peds over... I don't know.
In any case, I'm basically still sitting here at square 1 wondering if that whole BIG Industries Reward Program on EL event thing is just antiquated and they just don't care about it anymore such to the point that they don't even want to remove it from EL. Or are the people involved with that just no longer playing... or... who knows?
I mean it's not a huge deal, it's 100 peds and it's basically freebie peds - not like I went out of my way to get those points with non-stop grinding. So if I never see it I'm not gonna lull myself to sleep at night by singing The Crying Game lol. But if it's possible to actual get those peds that's cool too - either way I felt at least having SOME reference to this on the forum might help anyone else that's tried to redeem (or recently signed up to know what they may be in for).
If anyone has any experience with this or knows who to reach out to or just wants to laugh and say "ahh the BIG industries reward program..." please post.
Thanks!
EDIT: Not trying to call anyone anything here. I'm sure they do payout or there would be more people making a stink about it. Just poking a little fun to see if this was an event that was forgotten about or maybe I slipped through the cracks and to find "next steps" lol
UPDATE: Jun 2, 2023 - The transaction is now complete. I was able to finally meet up with Zana (the BIG Industries Rep I was referred to). Thanks BIG Industries for the payout!
