What happened to Moz perks?

[ThomasHarvey]

They are still running too, I had an email last night about claiming my moz shirt for getting 500 moz points. No tweet from Roger though

I never received my tweet from Roger either, although I did get my awesome Moz t-shirt! The funny thing is when I posted a cheeky tweet to @Moz prompting for my tweet from Roger, they Liked it but still no tweet XD

Hi Joe, Thanks for reaching out! Erin here. I manage Moz's Marketing Communications Team. We actually made the sad call to sunset the Moz Perks page earlier this month. With the recent changes at Moz, we just don't have the bandwidth to support it at the moment. Sorry to catch you by surprise! To Logan's point Mozpoints are still alive and well! Sorry you didn't get a tweet, Thomas and Ria! I'll let Roger know!  Let me know if you have any questions! Erin

Thanks, Erin!

I'm confused though. Are Moz Perks different to the MozPoints Benefits? What exactly is being sunsetted? (My life goal is to finally get a Rogerbot vinyl figurine of my very own, to take travelling around the world... I'm so close to getting one of Rogerbot's babies!  I will hug him, and pet him, and squeeze him...)

Hi Ria!

Moz Perks were a list of additional partner benefits we used to have. These perks are what are being sunsetted.

Moz Points on the other hand, are still rockin' and rollin'! MozPoints are how we reward awesome folks like you for participating in our Community! You can still earn MozPoints and work towards your very own Roger.

Cheers,

Erin

FWIW, there are several vendors / companies who owe their revenue from us entirely to Moz. And true to their word, those who said lifetime discounts have honored their commitment.

One discount has been $81 per month for a couple of years. The other is $25 or so.

And I've tried multiple services for 6 months or a year through Moz Perks.

Put my name in the Moz Perks folder and let me know if the program is ever restarted. I would happily give a great testimonial.

P.S. The reason I was here today was to check and see which services were in the program for a tool I was considering!

Bummer. This was a benefit of being a member and something I wish I had known was being taken down.

[rhysgregory]

I agree! I'm really missing out here...

[Joe.Robison]

Thanks for the update Erin - totally understand if it's outside the company's bandwidth, although Moz's perks will be missed on my end!

[DonnaDuncan]

You really should leave the page up with an explanation. How is it TAGFEE to take perks away without any prior notification or explanation until someone asks? I'm surprised. Not like you guys at all!

Agree with the other members. As a very small business, MozPerks for extended trials or discounts off other related marketing services like Unbounce etc. was really helpful to me to get me started with some other services and many I signed up as a paying customer.

This was one of the big advantages of being a Moz Pro customer.

I have just searched everywhere for it today as it had one of the services I'm considering to use.

I'm also disappointed that it has being removed. Please bring it back.

I am starting to feel that Moz is little more than a ranking tracker in recent years.

[emerald]

It was only a single page. Surely it's benefit to retain existing members and convince new members would outweigh any bandwidth issue.

I'm disappointed that such a valuable member benefit has been removed with no warning. I would love if you could bring it back.

I am still hoping MOZ PERKS will back!!
