Editor's Summary
I've been using the Million Prizes app to earn rewards, but the constant changes to the rewards system have left me feeling uncertain. The app recently removed the option to exchange points for a World Bank certificate, which was a major disappointment. I decided to order a wireless charging station and nightlight combo, but the process was a bit of a hassle. The product itself is decent, but I'm not sure if it's worth the points I spent. The build quality is solid, and the wireless charging feature is convenient. However, the battery life could be better, and the packaging was a bit flimsy. I'm not completely sold on the Million Prizes app, but I'm willing to give it another try. I've been using the app for a while now, and I've noticed that the rewards system is always changing. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. I'm not sure what to expect, but I'm hoping they'll get it together soon. The app is free to download, and it's available for both iOS and Android devices. You can earn points by completing tasks, watching videos, and shopping online. The points can be redeemed for rewards, but like I said, the system is always changing. I've had some issues with the app crashing, but I've also had some good experiences. Overall, I'd say it's worth a try, but be prepared for some ups and downs.
Specifications
I've been living in a world of uncertainty lately, and the constant changes to the rewards in the 'Million Prizes' app from 'Active Citizen' have left me hesitant to save up for rewards. I was really hoping to exchange my points for a WB certificate, but they removed that reward from the 'Stores' section, so I missed the opportunity...
I ordered a pretty cool gadget - a nightlight and wireless charging station (all in one), item number is MR2024-05.
They deducted 4500 points from my balance.
I ordered the product through a postamat in the 'Perekrestok' store in Moscow, no delivery in the Moscow region.
The order was packed in a dense transport film.
The box is made of sturdy cardboard, small and lightweight, with the logo of the brand on it, along with the product name.
The image shows a wireless charging station with a nightlight. It looks like an unidentified flying object, that's the first thing that came to mind)
I have no idea what 'type 2' means... The color is white. There was no other option when I ordered, I wouldn't have minded if it was black.
In the box, there's a charging station in a soft plastic bag and a cable, I immediately realized there's no adapter. On the one hand, I'd like to have the complete 'native' set, but on the other hand, there are so many random adapters at home that one more or less doesn't really matter...
The cable was a pleasant surprise, it's 80 centimeters long, and I was worried they'd follow the trend of making them 40 centimeters long, which is too short for my headphones. I'll need an adapter with a USB connector.
Let's face it, there's a newcomer in town - almost as new as Honor itself, which was on its last legs!) The charging dock after an unidentified flying object looks like a traffic light on a special transport!What a big disc and it lights up!
By the way, it weighs just 150 grams.
Now, let me tell you about one of the features of this device - it's got wireless support, and it takes just 5-10 minutes.
What does that mean?
The charging dock works without being plugged into the power grid, and that's those 5-10 minutes that might come in handy in an emergency. It'll keep charging, but the nightlight won't turn on.
The charging dock works from the electricity.The power is 15W.
The charging dock is pretty small, with a diameter of around 9 centimeters, but that's enough to keep your phone stable and not wobbling on the top panel. The height of this 'alien' is just over 5 centimeters. One plus is the small lip on the bottom panel of the charging dock, which is not a footpad, but probably there to prevent the dock from sliding on a smooth surface. In the center of the charging area is the logo of the Million Prizes app. According to the website description, the nightlight has three different lighting modes, but I've only managed to get two: warm yellow and cold white.To be honest, I don't really use the nightlight, and now I regret choosing this charging dock instead of another model with electronic clocks...
One of the biggest pluses for me is that you don't need to remove the case, even a super tight one.All you need to do is just place your smartphone on the charging pad, and its size will be taken care of by any smartphone.
I charged my Apple Iphone 13 Pro Max. Normal charging time, no issues)
It's really cool that you can see the charging progress on the indicator.The wireless charging function:
It uses a wireless transmission mode and transmits energy wirelessly over short distances using magnetic induction.
This product meets the Qi wireless charging standard.
Any Qi-compatible receiver can use this product for charging.
It supports fast wireless charging.
The charging station does its job perfectly, regardless of the nightlight being on or off.Now, let's talk about charging speed.I know I can charge my phone faster with a cable, but there are situations where you don't have a cable handy, or it's being used by another device. That's where this wireless charging station comes in handy.
From 22% to 97%, charging time is 72 minutes (I timed it specifically when charging my phone the last time)
I'm charging my phone and wireless Apple earbuds on this station.
I have no regrets about buying this.
This wireless charging station is a must-have for me, and the nightlight is just a bonus - it's weak and doesn't provide much lighting...
I have to say, ordering the portable wireless speaker with the charger was a great idea. I'll definitely be sharing my thoughts on that in a separate review. The sound is incredibly powerful - I was blown away! My neighbors, on the other hand, don't seem to be too thrilled about it) So, what else did I get from the 'Million Prizes' app?Million Prizes - this set of tablecloths in a cute little bag was included for free... - not exactly the most useful thing, but I'm using it to cover my couch for my dog...
Million Prizes Microfiber Sports Towel 130 × 80 cm - a pretty useless towel, but it's getting some use...
Million Prizes Christmas Tree Ornament 'Winter with Million Prizes' - I was really excited about it at first, but it's a bit too bulky...
