Do you ever wonder why celebrities, who can afford to buy things, get so many things for free? I was watching The Academy Awards one time, and they were showing the gift bags given to the celebrities who presented the awards. The narrator mentioned that the gift bags were valued at $25,000 each! But they were given to the presenters for free.

People like Sharon Stone do not need to be enticed or bribed into making an appearance for a potential TV audience of a billion people. Publicists and managers would die or pay to have their clients get such free exposure. So why give $25,000 worth of stuff to people who can afford it or don?t need it?

It's because those product makers or designers want the stars to be photographed by paparazzi using their products. As if a picture of Lindsay Lohan being photographed using the latest cell phone will make you want to buy that cell phone? What if you got the free cell phone? We believe the best way for you to know if something is good is for you to try it out yourself or hear about it directly from friends you trust. Seriously, do you see a film based on who shows up at the premier or which critics recommend or panned it? No, you see films whose trailers you liked or which friends have recommended. This was our inspiration and that is how we came up with Cool Coinz.

Cool Coinz is a widget and rewards program that empowers members to decide what is cool and trendy and which friends to reward. Members will receive free gifts and invitations to exclusive events, concerts, parties, and film premieres; simply for being themselves or well-liked. What type and quality of gifts and invitations will be determined by how active or popular an individual member is. However, every qualified member will receive a free gift of some kind over the course of their membership. Some members may receive gifts and/or invitations on a weekly, monthly, or annual basis based on their activity and Cool Coinz total.

So what do you get for becoming a member? You get to reward your friends with a Cool Coin as a token of appreciation and help your friends become eligible for free gifts. And hopefully your friend thinks you are cool too and returns the favor with a cool coinz that adds to your total, increasing the likelihood of you getting better quality gifts and invitations to more exclusive parties.

Cool Coinz can be given to friends and family but also anything else you think is cool whether it?s a band, a viral video, a car, or a cause. Your gift of a cool coin helps identify your friend, family, celebrity, of product as something that you think is cool, not what someone else says is cool.

Now you may ask why would we give out free stuff or is this too good to be true? The answer is that there are plenty of companies that want you to try their products. They would prefer you pay to try those products; but some are confident enough in the quality of their products that they firmly believe that if you tried it once, you will like it. So we help get those products in your hands on behalf of those companies, in the hope that if you like it, you will recommend it to your friends.

So what type of free stuff can you get for being a member? Invitations to exclusive movie premieres, new album or artist listening parties, and tickets to concerts and sporting events. If a potato chip company comes out with a new flavor they want you to try, we?ll send some members a sample bag. If a new beverage company comes out with a new drink, we?ll send some members free bottles. If a new club opens up, we?ll get members on the guest list. Free trips and other rewards are in store for our members in the future as well. The stuff we send will only be of high quality and value. If it is not cool or trendy, or something useful to you; we want nothing to do with it. We will not waste your time, or ours, with bad products or events. There are no catches. YOU NEVER HAVE TO PURCHASE ANYTHING in order to be a member or receive free gifts. You can be as active or inactive as you like within our program and be rewarded accordingly. You have the power to decide which people or products are cool or trendy by your own definition and which ones get rewarded as a result of your gift of a cool coin. We will have the strictest privacy policy on the web and will always err on the side of caution in protecting our members? privacy against commercial interests.
