because you're ALMOST positive it didn't credit the first time (not because you're trying to defraud the system), does that result in a penalty? i ask because i THINK i've done this...not sure, i might've removed something from pending b/c i thought it didn't credit and then like a dummy, saw it listed later on and did it again. :confused: i feel sooooooo dumb asking this!

Yes you shouldn't do it, the companies would see it as fraud, but an occasional slip up shouldn't make a big deal, but if it keeps happening then it could effect Tricia and SR.

It sounds like you'll be okay. Because if the offer was on your pending list it never credited the first time. But just be aware that there is a somewhat new rule about waiting 30 days before retrying an offer again.

But if anything, it sounds like you made an honest mistake....and you feel really guilty about it.....so I doubt you'll be banned for life. ;)

Welcome by the way!! :sunshine2:

I'm pretty sure if you got credit for it here, either

1. It won't show up in the All Offers List.

2. On drop down/other lists it would show Received Credit? Yes next to the offer, and even if you clicked on and did it again I don't think you'd receive duplicate credit b/c it is attached to your userid. (I *think*). But like others said, a slip up here or there is understandable, but trying multiple times for duplicate credits or redoing many offers before 30 day wait is not good.

Now, if you did it on another site, then you're on the honor system, and keeping a log will help with that.

basically keep everything in pending until 30 days pass then take it out and you can retry it then. the advertisers were flagging us for fraud-like activity last time during Crazy Credits because it spanned 3 or 4 days and in our craziness we were trying offers 3-4 times trying to get them to credit (no one was banned or got in trouble we just had to agree on the 30 day retry)
