Dear Symantec, Sorry you blew it big time on this one.... I loved the rewards, I thought it was cool you could get lots of sweet stuff from connect. But you all went and blew the one reason I posted on this site. Now you've changed it to gift cards and did you announce it? Not that I've seen. I subscribe to the RSS feed for the main site, to the Endpoint M anagement Section, and also to the Security Section. No announcement of this change. Ever since the switch to Connect customers are asking what is going on with the site. I have heard nothing but compliants on the site. I've argued against them, I've fought for this site, when maybe it didn't deserve it. Now you've gotten rid of rewards and are just giving away gift cards? Why would I take part in the monitor solution pack contest for a chance to win 3,000 points worth of gift cards? Why would I post articles and forum help and other things here for a gift card. The rewards were cool.... I've cashed in for things here before and encouraged people to do so. What other things will you change w/o notifying us? There are ways to build a community and I'm sorry this is not it
Hopefully, electronic redemption will work out for everyone. We will be adding more electronic redemptions for other international locations as quickly as we can. BTW, it came as a surprise to us too. Management came to us last Friday and said, "things must change -- today".
