Click on construction (Because it was talking about wood, I went here first (ok, I am dumb).

Then type in "HiCraft" in the "search" and a 10 point symbol pops up.

I don't know if this direct link will work or not.

Something is wrong with the web site. I had to try 5 times to register. The screen keeps refreshing itself. Then I tried to browse HiCraft, keeps putting me back to list of manufacturers. Finally I gave up and entered the answer anyway. The 55 pt bonus screen popped up.
So, we'll see what happens next time.

Hi all

I got an interesting email today from Penrith Points. Here's a copy of the email and my reply. Could readers please refrain from publishing answers to the site's questions in the future? By all means post a message telling people that a new 55 or 75 points question has been added but please don't publish the answers on flyertalk.

JerryFF - could you please edit out the answer to the current question from your earlier post?

Here's the email and my reply.

cheers Peter

Dear Jason

Thanks for your email.

The website you refer to is 'Flyertalk' which is a website devoted to the
accumulation of points and miles on frequent flyer and other such points
schemes. It is primarily a discussion board and your link takes you to a
topic I started on the subject of your Penrith Points program. Flyertalk is
also something of a community of like minded 'points hunters' with interests
in travel and travelling subjects.

Although I am the author of the original post, I am not the owner of this
website. As a registered member however I can make my fellow community
members aware of your request. Flyertalk members by and large are fairly
decent people and I am sure that they will be happy to refrain from posting
the answers to questions on your website. Besides its more fun to hunt
around for the answers anyway!

If you go back to the post you will now see that I have added details of
your request.

May I take a moment to say what a great idea Penrith Points is and I hope it
continues to grow. Flyertalk is read by thousands of people each day and I
am sure that many overseas people have signed up for Penrith Points. The
free publicity Penrith is getting at present would otherwise cost a
significant amount I'm sure.

May I also please make two requests.

Firstly I note that you have taken down the redemption reward for theatre
tickets. This is, I'm sure, a popular reward. Will you reinstate it in the
future?

Also, and I think I'm speaking on behalf of most Flyertalkers here, could
you please offer a reward on your web site by way of the exchange of Penrith
Points for frequent flyer points on an airline program eg Qantas Frequent
Flyer. This would be a great addition to your rewards.

Thanking you

Peter Berrett aka ffhound

I have edited my posted per the request. However, I resent the implication that I originally posted the "answer" to get around the rules and spirit of the site.

I had followed all of their instructions and did not get the points they promised. I wondered if I had entered the wrong answer or was doing something wrong. I did email this Jason fellow and he acknowledged that they had made an error in launching their new question prematurely.

Why attack me for their mistake?

Thanks Jerry for editing your post.

A new 55 point question has appeared! You will need to log in to see the new question. You have to find the name of the company. Please don't post the answer here. It should be simple enough to find using the search facility. With you 10 points for logging in that should make an easy 65 points for today!


If only we could redeem these points for miles on a ff program...

cheers Peter

And don't forget to browse business directory for "logo" worth at least 10 points

So you can get at least 20 pts/day (login+browse)

I only wish they allow us to convert the points into miles or HHonors points :-)

Why not email them and ask them to add a reward whereby you can convert the points to points or miles? I have. If enough people write perhaps they'll consider it.

Do you want 50 points ?

Go to main page of this website, under "Web search" on left side, click on "hotels+clubs". You'll get list of hotels in Penrith and point popup which appears above the listing.

It can happen that you'll see red circle saying "Find more Penrith poins...blablablah". Keep refreshing the page until you see silver circle with "50 points". Voil !

And be careful -- if the blue "10 points" button shows up, ignore it. Keep refreshing until you get the 50 points button. You can't claim both!
