Just in case you didn't know, Fasttech gives rebate points for buying stuff from them, giving reviews, and other things as well. Perhaps you have totalled up enough points to get something from them for free. If you have bought a lot of stuff from them but never thought to review it, good or bad, then go for it. https://www.fasttech.com/account/rebatepoints

Fasttech Rebate Points
- Thread starter Hobby Kid
- Start date
Btw, rebate points expire annually, on the 10th day of October. So if you've done a lot of orders over the last year or plan on doing some soon and don't want to lose them then you'll need to request any that are still pending to be converted within the next three months.

Great, exactly what I need. I already spend enough with them. I've got 4.61 to go, which is about 46.10 I need to spend. Conveniently that's about how much a Hana diy box & chip cost. SOLD!!!
any idea if the gift certificates expire?
EDIT: fucking math. 46.10 will give me .46 points.

I can't remember off hand but I'll have a look unless someone answers before I find it. I know they do expire. Also, converted any rebate points expire after 60 days but I'll check that and post back if I'm wrong.

I have 10.74 active points right now. Do I enter these points at check out ? Or do I convert these points to a gift certificate first ? I don't see how to convert them before check out unless I'm blind.
No, you're not blind. Fasttech hasn't made this feature easy to find out.I have 10.74 active points right now. Do I enter these points at check out ? Or do I convert these points to a gift certificate first ? I don't see how to convert them before check out unless I'm blind.
Active points have to be converted into a gift certificate first. You have to ask fasttech customer support to "convert my active rebate points into a gift certificate". It normally takes around 24hrs. They'll reply informing you that once converted you'll have 60 days to use them and ask you to submit confirmation of your request.

Sometimes. Strange thing is however, Fasttech being what it is, I've received varying points for purchasing an item. Sometimes over $1 for 1 review. FT forum members have also noted that on occasion they've received rebate points for contributing to or answering someone's post

When I found out about it I spent two days just reviewing
(I would say that one should give honest reviews and not just copy and paste someone else's lol. It's an ethical thing)
Ethics? On the internet? What is this sorcery you speak of?
Looks like I'll be doing some reviews & forums over there too
I bought some vape cases that were terrible and wrote three reviews telling everyone not to buy them. And they were approved straight away. I wrote some good reviews on some tools and they're still pending. I think it's more a case of how many other peoples reviews for the item are pending. I also wonder whether they let them stay pending so we don't top up too fast. One went up immediately 7/20/14 but I just scrolled down and there's some from 5/21/14 for PVC Heat Shrink Tubing still pending, so idk
Open a ticket to get your points converted to a gift certificate it has to be in $10 amounts only. The gift certificate is valid for 3 months from issue. Normal review payments are ..20 rebate points for each approved review. All reviews must be made from your own order list, this is to make sure you own the product and are not someone trying to run down a product that they have not bought themselves.
So I asked fasttech to convert some of my rebate points to a gift certificate yesterday. I got these points by reviewing purchases and RE-reviewing purchases. Some I have reviewed multiple times.
And remember: all rebate points, pending or otherwise will be wiped out, ended, finnitoed in October.

Just an FYI on the points, this is found in their FAQ...
As PayPal payments can be refunded within 60 days, your rebate points remains "pending" for the first 60 days they are issued. Pending points cannot be transferred or be redeemed for gift certificates.
- For points collected before 10/10/2014, Active rebate points expire annually, on the 10th day of October.
- For points collected on or after 10/10/2014, All rebate points expire 1-year after their collection date.
FastTech is implementing a new rolling expiry points system in late 2014 to get rid of current static expiry date for all points. Before this is done, as a special one-time offer for the year of 2014, all expired active points will convert into a gift card shortly after 10/10/2014.

I just converted my points into a $10 gift certificate, didn't know you could do mutiple reviews for the same product @Hobby Kid kudos to you sir
You're welcome. well I do an initial review and go back later to review how I got on with it. If I find an issue I review it again or a particular technique to doing something. Also, if you've bought 10 items of a product then go do 10 reviewsI just converted my points into a $10 gift certificate, didn't know you could do mutiple reviews for the same product @Hobby Kid kudos to you sir
