You may redeem a specified amount of Points towards the purchase of offered products and services. You are unable to pay in full for the purchase with Points. The amount of Points you may redeem varies, depending on the supplier, and represents savings ranging from 10% to 70%. The purchase balance remaining after redeeming your Points must be paid for with your major credit card at the time of the transaction.

Listia allows you to bid on items using no-cost credits instead of money. You get 100 credits just for signing up, and you can use them to bid on a variety of items including used books, used DVDs and even used televisions. You can also sell your own stuff on the site -- the number of credits you get from the high bidder can be tucked away for your own bidding. And so on and so forth in this kind of utopian version of EBay.

There are no fees to buy or sell on the site, however. The buyer and seller have to work out shipping or delivery between themselves. You see sales mostly on items that can be shipped electronically (digital coupon codes) or can be shipped cheaply (books, DVDs)

It's no surprise that most of the stuff up for bidding on the site are items that people want to clear out of the house. That's the idea, according to the site's FAQ, which states it's for "stuff you just don't need, but have a hard time throwing away."

The program was first launched in 2006. By November of that year, over one million prizes had been redeemed!

The current phase of the promotion began on April 16, 2007. Although the "My Coke Rewards" promotion was supposed to end by December 31, 2007, the program has been recently extended until December 19, 2008. While the prize selection dwindled in the months leading up to the promotions' proposed end, the official website reports that more rewards will be added soon.

The My Coke Rewards promotion has been extended into 2012.

I love editing photos, but when you have the photos say from a wedding, a reunion or a graduation you might want a professional touch. Tucia can add a person into a family portrait or remove an unwanted stranger from your photo. They can digitally open up closed eyes or fix hair. They can also offer glamorize and digital cosmetic enhancement options - get a tan, clear acne or remove braces. Simple touch-ups such as digital camera mark or red eye removal and cropping are also available.
