I agree bullpen. And I'll be at my credited 120th event (not counting coaches shows) at the bb game against tu on Tuesday. Still haven't qualified for a jersey ( as they keep moving the goalposts). Sad.

It was a lot easier when you could just scan your tag at the game.

Another vote for the Bill Byrne program. I have a Nike duffel bag that I still use for weekend trips that I earned somewhere around 2007.

Still use that Nike duffel too. I also have the silver shorts and the soccer jersey & both baseball jerseys.

And the marketing must've missed gregwh memo back then because I don't remember ever receiving any emails trying to sell me anything

Last chance to gain points for the Rewards Program. Even though we have sporting events still taking place this spring. I think this lets us know that the convenience is for the staff not the fans. As an old AD once said about what was important -- " We have their money".
Any last comments about the New Rewards Program vs the previous one?

The points don't make sense, 50 point for this event 200 for another. The old program was attendance driven, so to get next prize you had to keep going.

The prizes IMO don't fire me up to go catch softball today to get more points, to provide an example. In the old program if I was close to next prize I'd probable go to softball or whatever was next event. Going to one wbb game got me more points than 3 or 4 soccer games so I'm not sure they have the point values correct either.

Got my door mat. I can see myself being suckered back in if they take significant steps to improve the overall program.

Didn't get the matching oven mit

It's not the app, it's Wi-Fi in Blue Bell Olson Field. Had a really hard time with it.

I like the program. Just got a nice cowboy hat for 3,000 points. Between fall and winter sports and now spring sports, everyone benefits. The other program played to students. All they needed to do was to enter a venue and get points. Adults attend events also.

Both are true. App glitchy. Wifi terrible.

Sitting in Davis Diamond. Won't let me sign on. Won't acknowledge the rewards points. Keeps kicking me off and closing the app.

Did that to me yesterday, had to log off or shut down Wi-Fi, relog into app then it worked

Wouldn't even stay open long enough.

So frustrating

It just needs to be tied to you scanning your ticket.

Agreed. And the more tickets you scan, the more points!

It wasn't just for students, it was for everyone. Anyone could go and get stamps or get their card scanned. Students never got points just for walking in. They had to go get scanned at the 12th Man table to get credit.

the last version of it under Jason Cook was a social media thing where you checked in or something like that, it was failure, by design if you ask me. I think they wanted it to go away, Cook told me personally that it wasn't being used that much. I think the process made it that way

I know to start the year they had a seat cushion on the list of prizes. Which was great, my old Teams Rewards one was looking bad.

Well at some point it disappeared very early in the process.

---

They also had a baseball hat as a prize at the start and it disappeared...

As many have said the prizes they have are not great. That maroon aggie yeti cup they are selling at the concessions should be a prize for a lot of points.

They were adjusting points as the year went on. Soccer should have been more points relative to what some of the spring sports have got. Heck for some games this spring you could attend and get enough points for a free t-shirt...

I liked bonus points for checking in early and staying to later in the game. Having double points at some games was good as well.

I think with some tweaks to the points and a better prize list the program could be valuable. They need to do a better job advertising it earlier in the year tough.

I didn't do it because I didn't realize it was going on, but some people that sit next to us at baseball did it with quite a few sports this past year and got several free things. I guess it just depends on how diligent you are about it.

Funny thing is the 12th man Wi-Fi is very good at Kyle Field, but you're right it sucks at Olsen.

So the guy who buys tickets but never attends a game gets the points? I buy physical tickets from people several times a year. Why should they be rewarded if it's my butt in the seat?

Umm…I hope you understand why primary purchasers who carry the risk get the reward? They could do door prizes for the butts in the seats and instant promotions. That's what the Jacksonville stadium does to promote their venue.

I cashed in my points yesterday. If I could have earned points for the six (6!) more baseball games I plan on attending this year, I probably could have gotten enough for the cowboy hat, but I guess those just don't matter.

It's a fair point. I like rewarding the primary buyer because they are ensuring the seats get filled. I like rewarding the secondary buyer because they actually get there. Maybe there's a way to reward both. I just don't like all the gymnastics required by me to win a door mat. Ha.

They do things like that as well. The real point of 12th man rewards is to get butts in the seats at non revenue sports.

you get priority points for buying seats, team rewards is to get people there, in theory students and non season ticket holders

I've been lucky that I can get the app and WiFi to work most of the time when I'm at the games. My kids remind me as soon as we get there because they want me to upload a picture so they have a chance of seeing themselves on the big screen.

I think some of y'all misunderstood the email. You had to cash in by today to pick up before the end of the academic year. You can still earn points and pick up at baseball until the end of the season.

You just have to redeem them 24 hours before a midweek game or by Thursday for pick up during a weekend series. There are also going to be a limited number of pick ups over the summer.

Yes. Though if they could decrease demand for the secondary market tickets…

I don't think that would do it.

I enjoyed the app.

It was definitely buggy, but overall I think it was a fun experience

I got the A&M lonestar sandals. I really like them and they remind me of the fun I had hanging out with friends this last season during Football / baseball games

I still use mine as a gym bag, still holding on, barely.
Also still have my really nice A&M baseball jerseys & basketball shooting jersey from that program. I think I might even still have the mini bats and plastic batting helmets stashed away somewhere. It was a sad day when it went away

yup, I have 2 of those somehow hanging in my closet

On top of the rewards program, I miss the gameday giveaways they used to do at the baseball games. This stopped well before the OG rewards program as well.
