I have done 6 offers in the last 3 days, which others have gotten credit for and NOTHING has come through. Very frustrating. I have gotten a new email and everything. Any other suggestions??

Hmm few thoughts:

1. are you clicking on the confirmation emails associated with some of the offers?
2. Are you going all the way to the end with the offers?
3. Have you updated your spybot and adware programs and run them lately? (I had new updates on both this morning)
4. Are they listed in the fast crediting section or no? If they aren't in the fast crediting then there might have been a manual upload recently and you will be in the next batch.
5. Not sure which offers you are trying to do and what new email you opened but you might want to try something other than gmail for a while as some offers don't like gmail.

I have clicked on the emails that I have gotten. I only have ever used hotmail or live accounts. I have been clearing cookies more often in trying for SM surveys. Most have been in the fast crediting section. Bright Hub, leapster, s & G wholesale one that went out in the email batch the other day. I think that I am going all the way to the end. I go until I can't go anymore if that makes any sense....


I do everything on a mac so we do not have adware type programs.

Thanks for the thoughts!

ahh I'm not mac knowledgeable. Hopefully someone that is can shed some light. Maybe Mollyellis? Trying to think who else knows about mac's around here...

If you are sticking with hotmail accounts and not getting credit try yahoo or gmail for a change.

Do you have a firewall on your computer that might be new?

How often are you clearing cookies? Which browser are you using?

I usually clear them once a day sometimes twice. I am using firefox. I have not had huge issues before. I have always had some that did not credit, but that is to be expected. But usually I have only done 4 and 2 credited. Things like that.

hmm well I was hoping you'd say you used safari then I could tell you to switch to firefox. But now I don't know.

I found this thread: Mac Users Unite! Maybe you could pm a few of the people to see what they say.

Thanks. My husband does have the file share open between upstairs and downstairs but both are a mac and both on the same operating system so it should not make a difference when getting credit. I guess I will just try again tomorrow and hope that it gets better. :)

I can tell you I did bright hub yesterday and clicked the conf email and didn't think it would credit, but it did overnight. So there must be either a manual credit or once a day type thing.

None of the modpath's have been crediting for me lately. I think it knows my addy and other info, no matter what new email I use, only 1 out of 10 will credit for me.

thanks. I was going to try another tonight but I think that I will just hang out until tomorrow and see if anything comes through.

I've had a whole slew of old offers that never creditted for me work this year. I'm not sure why or what I'm doing differently. The ONLY thing I can think of is my brother uninstalled Norton on my computer and installed some other antivirus program.

9 times out of 10, modpath offers only like my hotmail addys, and even then they take several tries.

I am a Mac user, but not all that knowledgable about the tech aspects of doing offers on a Mac, but I will tell you what I have done. Maybe something will help.

I use firefox, which you said you use. That's good because forget safari or IE. In December I didn't do any offers because I wasn't being very successful. Being so busy in Dec. anyway, I took a break and just concentrated on getting 1-3 surveys a day. Once the holidays were over, I got a new gmail address. I have had the best luck with gmail, although I do have a yahoo account, hotmail for personal stuff, so I don't use that for any offers. I clear cookies and private data before doing offers, not between each offer, but at the beginning. I wait for 1-2 offers to credit, then clear everything again and do a couple more. In the past 3 days I have had about 8 offers credit, but I also have about 5 in pending from today. Nothing credited today and they are fast crediting offers that people have posted about today and were successful with, so I'm pretty sure they won't credit. It's the 2nd time that I have done some of the offers that I was successful with the past couple of days. I probably haven't been much help. There are some offers that never, ever credit for me so I have stopped trying. Good luck, hope things change for you really soon!

Sorry to sound dumb but what are modpath offers? Are they the MID ones? Because mine aren't crediting lately. I also can never get Brandarama or the Party With _____ (fill in celebrity name) to credit. Don't know how to get them to work.

I'm trying to think of how to describe but the best way is to check the address bar when you open the offer or check the first page and you will see. Like the Leappad one is Mod Path and that is in the address bar. MID usually say it on the first page. When I open a new one I'll let you know.

I am actually not having much luck with offers crediting lately either but especially with any of the modpath offers. I use gmail exclusively, maybe I need to open a hotmail and retry my pending offers with that!

So today is a new day. I cleared cookies out before I did ANYTHING this morning. I had a few things show up from the last couple days, although I think only 2. PUt most of the things that I did today did credit. WHOOO HOOO!! The 2 that I did that were modpath did not, so I will have to watch and see if that trend continues.

Thank you all for your advice and wisdom!!
