Robert, I am trying to redeem rewards points for wireless DVKs, and have not

   

made much progress. The following are the people I have tried to get results

   

from, an email thread....

   

 

   

 

   

 

   

Robert, I went to redeem my points for a wireless DVK and ran into the problem it is not
in the “store”. I asked Dave Van Ess if he could do something about this, but I think he has
run into a brick wall.

   

I want to do some wireless work, and a possible end product. What I need are –

   

1 - CY3271 PSoC® FirstTouch™ Starter Kit with CYFi™ Low-Power RF
1 - CY3271-RFBOARD to get additional nodes.

   

I have the points available to buy them, but apparently if it is not in the store its in
No mans land to redeeming point.

   

I am currently your top poster, and have 4561 points to redeem.

   

Regards, Dana.

Dave, if OK with you I might try Robert Teufel [rtcy@cypress.com] as he is running the
site rewards program (or so I think) and might be able to do something about this.

   

Let me know if that’s OK with you, get the monkey off your back, I know you have so
much more to do than expedite kit problems.

   

Regards, Dana.

Dave, you have the power. I am a top poster (that means I give people vacuous solutions) on your
forums.

   

I have rewards points, and want to experience the “rush” of Cypress Wireless, but am spurned by
interlocutors who do not understand the genius of slow people like me.

   

I want to build a 4 – 6 node wireless net with PSOC for property monitoring. Not especially exciting,
but one goal is to look at the bending moment of trees as wind speed and direction sensors. Sounds
really big, I have many of these projects in basement, but I want to at least look at the data.

   

Help, the corporate asset allocators are limiting me to stuff I do not need. Like fashion accessories.
Dave, I am as close to a fashion statement as a tick is to mating with an elephant. I AM an EE for gods
sake !

   

I asked if I could redeem points for –

   

1 - CY3271 PSoC® FirstTouch™ Starter Kit with CYFi™ Low-Power RF
1 - CY3271-RFBOARD to get additional nodes.

   

Am I not worthy ?

   

Regards, Dana.

Hi Dayna,

   

Currently, you can only redeem points for items in the Cypress Rewards Store. http://rewards.cypress.com

   

Please let me know if you have any questions.

   

 

   

Thanks,
Adam

I have discussed this with Director of Marketing, eg. store allow purchase

   

of kits with rewards points, 2 years ago, several times last year, and 2 days

   

ago.

   

 

   

No luck so far.

   

 

   

Regards, Dana.

 Guys, the idea of the program is to offer promotional material showing cypress logo or products that have psoc/cypress chips inside so there is no point in offering cypress kits. that being said I would like they had psoc kits in there 🙂 but the suggestion has been made and has not been able to be implemented

 What I want to know is what is their response to the suggestion?

   

Are they considering it or they already said NO?

Like Dana did I talked to some people at Cypress regarding this theme and each of them agreed that it wouldn't be a bad idea.

   

Since nothing happens (for 3 years now) and none of the persons I talked to gave a reason why it was not implemented yet it seems obvious that someone from the "higher positions" is blocking the request for giving away kits to cdc members.

   

So I am afraid that - like the improvement of the forum software- nothing will happen.
