Question

How about implementing a OwlBucks gift card? So one can pay for OwlBucks to give to another user?

Answer 1

good idea

Answer 2

yes good idea

Answer 3

I thought of this because some users find OwlBucks costly and one can give a gift to others. :)

Answer 4

i like this idea :)

Answer 5

How would you transport it to them though? :)

Answer 6

Hmm...well a gift card as a bar code of sorts (with those random number codes)...

It's just a idea that popped in my head, but even I don't know how it would truly work. xD

Answer 7

:)

Answer 8

Great idea.

Answer 9

That is a great idea! And when they sell these gift cards in stores, that will make OpenStudy even more popular! :D

Answer 10

^ Hmm...I'm not so sure about gift cards...I mean, OS is a worldwide community, so to make a gift card go international? :/

Answer 11

Who would buy owlbucks with real money and then give it to someone ? Why don't you make it possible to donate smartcents ? We don't even know what Owlbucks are, so let's not worry about this stuff now.

Answer 12

I like the idea. Say it's someone's birthday or Christmas rolls around. Grandma and Grandpa can give you a useful gift to give you qualified help on OpenStudy!

Answer 13

And don't forget every holiday inbetween.

Answer 14

I really like this idea! It would be great to give to my OS bff's

Answer 15

I honestly think it is a waste of money, I will not waste $10 on education website to improve my profile or go to level 99 or 100 smartscore. I will use $10 on games , music,build a computer, etc.
but it is ur money so yeah.

Answer 16

it is my opinion nothing bad sorry

Answer 17

OpenStudy’s mission is to provide free study help for the world. To do this right, we support our site through advertisements. OwlBucks will be another way to raise our revenues so we can keep the site free for all, and yet have enough to support new features, new servers and new development.

And, most importantly, because it will be a lot of fun and in doing this, we can give something back to our best helpers!

Answer 18

yeah FREE whatever

Answer 19

Yea to keep it free we need to make money :D

Answer 20

Wikipedia asks for money every year. But you use it for free. Same thing with OpenStudy. We are not forcing you to but it. It is only if you want to. :)

Answer 21

Yep like facebook they need money right to do all those great things :D

Thats the key of business

Answer 22

before the owlbuck . where did you have to pay to get a better smartscore

Answer 23

Well the site has ideas and for those ideas to happen they need money.

NOTHING is Freeeeeee

Answer 24

they should remove free from the website

Answer 25

Well the website is still free you just pay for fast help and accessory's

Answer 26

You dont have to do those. Lol :D

Answer 27

And you do not pay to get a better smartscore. SmartScore increases when you answer questions and get medals.

Answer 28

yeah whatever thanks

Answer 29

Yep keep those in mind :D

Answer 30

No problem.

Donating smartcents won't help OS any more. And we actually do know what Owlbucks are.

Answer 32

Answer 33
