Apparently, the fact that we make you all very happy with our customer service can actually bite us in the butt. Check out these comments to the Indianapolis Star

http://www.topix.net/forum/source/indianapolis-star/TUUMH0CQBTHG11QB9

This is my favorite:

"There's something fishy about the Sunshine Rewards web site.

First, whoever the person is who owns and runs the site, they have chosen not to identify themselves. This is often an indication of a shady business.

Second, in their forums, all the comments seem to be positive; almost as if one person has created multiple logins to hype the company. Many of the entries are over the top praises of the program; and most don't read like typical forum postings.

Instead of running free PR announcements for the company, Star reporters should be investigating this company. "

I'm going to go back to hiding my identity now.

Good gracious!!! People are so skeptical and cynical these days!!! Just because your members are happy, something must be fishy??? Give me a break!!! Forgive us for being a warm and fuzzy community where everyone gets along and has fun helping each other earn money!

The one guy is right though...you ARE a marketing mastermind Tricia!!

Sunshine Girl,

Don't you dare go into hiding! Keep your head up and definitely keep doing what you're doing! My mother always told me, "When people talk about you, that means you must be doing something right." You can't make everybody happy, and besides the main people are happy---your members!!! Maybe those in doubt will come to the site and be nosy, and if they do---they too will be hooked! Again, you're doing a wonderful job and keep letting the sun shine into the lives of so many others!!!!:sunshine:

I will tell you what I learned recently from my pastor, "What other people say about you is none of your business" :rotfl: In other words you cant let other peoples view of you determine choices you make. Keep it up! You are a model business person and its shocking to most that there are still people like that out there.

I for one am glad it's not like other forums! I prefer nice and helpful people to nasty ones.

Hello. I am the owner of this company. I can tell you that the actual press release has all of my contact information, including my Fishers address and my cell phone number. In addition, a reporter from the Noblesville Times was just at my house yesterday to do a story that is supposed to be running today.

A lot of our members in our forum are very pleased with our company, but we do mess things up now and again. You'll see a lot of complaints about people not getting credit automatically for things, but we try hard with our customer service to address the complaints.

I wish that the Star would have contacted me to get more information. The Times went so far as to contact some of our members after reading our forum.

Our forum is 100% legitimate. You can join it and talk to the members if you like. They will all be more than willing to talk with you.

You tell em' girl!! Were here because we wanna be, and there's nothing fake about it. SO WHAT if were a bunch of happy campers, that just means the person running the show, is doing a damn good job!! Grrrr, it makes me mad that some people are so darn negative!!!

They are just jealous, Tricia!! You KNOW you are doing things right, you are an honest and caring individual, and those who think "something's fishy" are probably just too skeptical to look a gift horse in the mouth. Fishy indeed... I could buy some fish with my earnings... the banners don't lie!

Sorry....I just think that post is so funny. I'm sorry, I know it shouldn't make me laugh, but it really does. That person must have a really sad life to say things like that. She/he obviously has not spent a whole lot of time here. Tricia, I hope you don't mind, but I felt the need to respond with a comment on that page you posted.


So this is me, Leslie Carter, a speech language pathologist from Rhode Island stating for the record that I love SR! (or wait...maybe it is just Tricia posing as me ((evil laugh!!!))???) Hahahahahahahahaha!!!:rotfl:

It always amazes me how people can comment and offer opinions on something that they know little or nothing about. Whatever happened to giving something a try before passing judgement? I'm really sorry that you have to deal with all the negative comments. I was a skeptic too, until I tried it. It would be nice if all the skeptics out there would at least give it a try.

Keep up the good work, Tricia. We all love it here.

Don't let them get you down Tricia - your just an anomoly (sp?!) this day and age with actually CARING about your customers AND providing such first rate customer service.

I mean seriously, how many people are going to believe in a pleasureable atmosphere, where you can make money, have fun and have quick assistance if something goes amiss? If I didn't experience it first hand I might have some reservations myself! :rotfl:

You rock Tricia, don't let this overshadow your (what should be) happy day.
I've been reading boards on the internet for years and this is the only one I've ever participated in - everyone is so kind and helpful. There's no cattiness like other boards or "cliques" just a bunch of people that are so grateful to have found this site.

You are probably the most fishy person on the site since aside from my mom, you are the "oldest" member that we have. Seriously. Aren't you like number 10? And the first 6 members were all test memberships. Cindy is number 7.

You are definitely me. I mean, I am you.

Then I thought, what if somethingfishy joins sr???? What if it gets too big and Tricia can't keep up and do that wonderful job because she is so busy????? What have I done tempting people to join?????? oh woe is me........
Then I thought, "Tricia is smart enough to keep up with the marketing and great service that makes SR so right." So I will relax and not fear and continue to enjoy the Sunshine Rewards and it's members. Thanks Tricia:cooldance: :cooldance: :cooldance: :cooldance:

I think a healthy bit of skepticism is a good thing, but come on now. :rolleyes: Just b/c everyone seems positive on a site certainly doesn't mean it's the same person with multiple log-ins. Instead of blasting the site (unseen IMO), they should be joining and seeing for themselves how great it really is. I'm sorry you're having to deal with such negative people that have nothing better to do with their time than to spread gossip and negative opinions/vibes. :rolleyes:

I say have an alcholic beverage of choice, kick back and relax and don't let this little hiccup worry you none. Positive word of mouth spreads quickly and I'm sure with that new article you'll notice a jump in new members in no time!

Okay, usually I try to read the rest of the comments first but this just makes me spitting mad and I am NOT the owner, have only been a member for 4 months, and I just can't help it if I and the rest of us are positive. That is exactly why most of us join in on THIS forum and only read the others. I have posted like maybe 4 times on the Dis and everytime I feel like I am hunched over waiting for someone to knock me for what I said. Even when I posted a link was up on another site. And, that is not to single out the Dis, but I have seen so many people jumped upon for something so stupid in other forums. We all know that the written word can be taken out of context. We all say dumb things, make mistakes. So, why can't people just be more tolerant of one another? As a human being (and, I started to say Christians, but it isn't just about my beliefs) our forum should be the norm and the others the oddity, not the other way around. Off my soap box.

why is it we always take everything just to the edge of insanity???? :rotfl: We can never stop with a witty little remark. It always turns in to a brewhaha. That is why I :heart: this place LOL because I am a brewhaha too.

Does this mean she is her own mom and her daughters grandmother??? :rotfl:

I think that this is legal only in a couple of States......

However, since everyone is Tricia, and Tricia is everyone she could change these laws as she sees fit.

Geez, I'm starting to feel like I'm back in my college days..."I am you, you are me, what if were our whole universe fits on top of the head of a pin?"

That is what I love about this board...taking things to the edge of insanity...we never stop with a small remark AND we use (and know the meaning of) brewhaha! Not many other boards can say that...

Dang it. You got me. I had to send Kathie away because I ran out of room for shoes. I had to send Bryan away because I couldn't keep up with the posts.

The scary part is how you competed with yourself as "Bryan"! Does that indicate deep conflict within yourself? Can't we and all of our alter egos just get along?

I just went over there and saw all of your posts. You guys crack me up!!!!! So I just added a new offer for you. It is a HUGE (i.e. total) payout for an offer that should go through for absolutely everyone. Go check it out before I change my mind:

Home Depot Sweeps (MID)

Thank you, missed the click. But, I (we) love the .50.:cooldance:


Edited: No, I didn't. I did the click before I did the forum. Double thanks.

Why are some of you beating up newspaper reporters? The comments you're upset about are from morons on a forum. They were criticizing the paper as being too POSITIVE about Sunshine Rewards.

I actually left a voicemail for the editor today to see if they would do a real article. What is posted is just a couple of lines from our press release. Hopefully they will do a full story in the future (it's a different paper than the one that did the other story today).

Go figure. She had several campuses to perform at and some of them are in the back woods hills of East Tennessee. She did a practice run to the most remote campus and had an "experience" somewhere on a country road. She refused to travel that road again. I really didn't want to know any more details. But it was a breach of contract, had to deal with her, her agent and my business office all day. She should have known better than to get on that road being a psychic and all. And there is only one way in and one way out unless you go through Kentucky. Glad that is over. Will never book that again.

Good God, Gert! I go out for a margarita (okay, it was 3!!!), Mexican meal, time with partner dude, TAKE THE FRICKEN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION into Hollywood, come home and find THIS????????????!!!!!!!!!!!! What the h*** got into something fishy's craw??? AND I missed a $.05 click??? Now I am pissed!!! I don't even want to show partner dude that this idiot is a Hoosier! As one from what I used to call the great state of Indiana, he would be apalled that someone from his home state would even state something like something fishy put into the ether (and NO, I will not put capital letters in this sad sack's name.)

I'm tired, I probably had too much to drink (now all of Indiana will know that SR promotes over indulgence in alcohol, too!), I've had a rough week (actually rough 2 weeks) but I'm going to Disneyland tomorrow afternoon and Saturday, dining at 2 of my favorite restaurants (and they're NOT the churro carts!) and using my Disney gift cards that I EARNED from SR to pay for these meals. I've been with SR since December of 2006, I've done well with shopping, clicking, offers, and contests, and damn it, I'm going to be with SR as long as T, K, and C keep this site going.

BTW, welcome Rob. Sorry I had to say hello this way. I'm really a nice guy. Just ask me!

To my fellow SR friends, I now need to read my tag and go gently into the night.

Peace

Well I caught this thread after writing nice things about SR in another post (where a problem was fixed immediately). With all the trouble and problems in the world, I guess people have trouble with positive websites and people that are honest and decent. Just ignore them and keep doing what you're doing!

someone made a comment, that i totally agree with and love:

that so far, there has been no flaming here, not that i have read anyway. everyone seems happy and helpful on this site, as compared to EVERY other site i have been to.

i have been talking this site up with my hubby since i started here, last wednesday. he always is saying something to me like, try making money with that computer since you are always on it. ok so in 1 weeks time, i think i am about 42cents away from $25.00.

i told him about this last nite, and he is a skeptic, and just laughed. no i don't have the money yet, i am waiting til i have the full 25, plus i can wait til a special cash out.

i guess i am just rambling. but i really enjoy it here.

I'm sorry I missed all the hoopla last night too! I did get the 0.05 click before logging off for the night, but didn't make the connection that it was due to something going on in the forum.

I can kind of see where someone might be slightly skeptical at first about a site like this, just because it does seem like you're getting something (in some cases, a LOT of something) for nothing. It's easy, if you don't know what it's all about, to think "Ok, where's the catch?" But, instead of bashing and/or calling it out in a public forum, why not give it a try? What do you have to lose? It's not like if you sign up, the (supposed) mysterious shadowy figure that runs the site will be able to stick their hand through the computer screen and steal your wallet! Or, if you don't want to do that, then keep quiet and don't knock it if you haven't tried it or even attempted to learn anything about it. I'm sure if this site was scam, you would find people posting warnings and complaints on the BBB, or on other sites (Disboards, anyone?) if you searched hard enough.

Then on the other hand, we could just all be Stepfordesque Tricia-drones. :rotfl:

I think that people are finding it hard to believe that a rewards program can actually be a totally positive experience and that all of the members are happy. There is so much back biting on the other forums and rewards programs that it is unique to find a community such as this where we all work together to help each other earn as much as possible without all the fraud going on in other reward programs.

Tricia, you have made this site/program/forum/community into a very honest, upfront, and admirable thing. Naturally, anything that is done right is going to be the talk of all those who are doing wrong. They despise the fact that you are able to suceed with integrity and your head held high.
