How often do you collect bonus simpoints?

Every once in a while, you may go to the Sims 3 Store, click on a random page, and check out bonus simpoints provided by the sponsor. Sometimes, there are no sponsors. And sometimes, you may have already collected the maximum limit of bonus simpoints. One viewing of the advertisement will give you 10 simpoints, and five viewings will give you 50 simpoints. I have thus far received 150 simpoints from viewing ads alone for three non-consecutive days. I think I am going to save them up to buy a set. :lol:

    I've done the 5 a day everyday since I became aware of it. Strangely it'll disappear for a day or two for me though.

    ETA: I started with 40 now I'm up to over 1K :shock:

    I'm using Chrome.

    Though, I am not aware that the type of browser you are using would have any effect of the bonus simpoint advertisement showing up. However, I do know that you need to have to be the American English version of the site. Hope this helps.

    I'm afraid that, as far as I have been able to make out, you actually have to be American to get the free Simpoints! :thumbdown:

    To make full use of the website I have to set my language to English/American anyway, yet have never seen this promotion, and their announcement does state that they only want to reward American Simmers.

    Deliberately excluding players from every other country, it's yet another example of EA's total lack of concern or care for their customers :evil:

    I definitely have better luck with the free simpoints showing up with Chrome.

    I'm using Firefox and I just got 50 bonus simpoints for viewing ads 5 times. I got 10 simpoints each time I viewed the ad.

    I didn't see the ads in the last few days but it showed up for me tonight. I have not counted how much simpoints I racked up. It's given away anyway.

    I try everyday, but sometimes it disappears for a few days at a time. I think I've collected a total of 700 simpoints from it. :) I was even able to get a multitab!

    It's not their lack of concern, but probably for legal reasons. I'm sure they would make it available to more people if they could.

    The bonus simpoints ad is never up at the same time every day for me. Sometimes it's not there for two or three days straight. If I'm up at 2 AM, usually it's available, but not always.

    Yes, it is the store pages. I usually click DD or sales pages and it will be to the left, a blue box. It will let you click 5 times a day. Some days, it isn't there. Hope that helps. :D
