Lockerz

Lockerz is an online survey and shopping site which currently requires an invitation from an existing member to join. Members earn "pointz" for performing simple task like registering, logging in, inviting friends to join, and completing survey questionnaires.
Although the site was still said by its owners to be "under construction", the number of registered members had passed 350,000 members by mid-October 2009. The web site is targeted at the teenage/young adult market. Children under the age of 13 are required to get their parents' permission to join.
Lockerz captures the users zip/postcode, mobile phone number, gender, name, email address, and time zone during the registration process, and also gives the user the option of entering their date of birth if they wish. After registering "playing a game" is required in order to determine the starting amount of points
Lockerz survey questions are called "dailies". Examples of survey questions include "What summer film won your heart?" and "Texting or Email?"
Members can use their accumulated "pointz" to purchase and pay for the shipping of a range of goods including electronic devices like Apple iPods, computers games, make-up and jewelery. However the supply of stock to the Lockerz store (the PTZ Place) is currently intermittent, and items rapidly sell out. Members can also buy "dream experiences" with their pointz, which include donations to charity.
Numerous "Lockerz Invitation" sites have appeared on internet message boards, as existing member try to persuade anyone to join the site so that they can gain points for recruiting new members.
Lockerz is owned by Liberty Media Corporation.
