The problem is that if you have to spend a minute of your time to get 50 points you value at 25 cents, you are effectively earning $15/hour worth of points. That's worth it to some, but not to everyone. When I had a script that took me a minute to run and was earning $4 worth of points spread over a variety of programs per day, I made a point to capitalize. Now that the potential is extremely limited, I've given up.
If TG wants any chance to survive, they need to change the business model to reward spending or similar activity, not just check-ins that don't require the participant to be anywhere near the property.
