Offer Activity Down

It doesn't bother me when they don't credit. I just take it in stride. There are a few I have stopped doing though because of it.

I asked one or two times of something I was seeing that changed in the past few months. I was told I couldn't ask that because it was "telling" or "cheating" or something silly like that. So maybe I can ask again and not be told I am "trying to play the game" or whatever. It is not that it is a legit question as to why they may not be crediting.

Prob around Nov/Dec is when I noticed a few started doing the final steps pages opens as soon as you start the freebie. Then they started doing the pop ups right after you close this. When this happens since you technically are getting the final page twice is this causing a "fault" that you have done this and making it cancel it or something? Does this make sense to anyone?

I guess there are two parts to the answer. I think the "silly" thing you were told is that we can't tell you how to go about doing the offers without really doing the offers. In other words we can't tell people "just do this and this and you will get credit" the fact is that the point of the offers is to have people read through ALL of the offers and decide if they would like to participate in them or not. If we said "just click no and then open one or two" we and you would be cheating and it would be considered fraud.

Now the question about the two different ending pages. I have always gotten two different ending pages in the years I have been doing offers. Since the point of the offer is to do the whole offer from beginning to end I ignore the first pop up of ending pages that shows up. Usually if you look at the top of that one it has a different offer name on it anyway. I leave it open in the background and continue through the offer pages all the way through to the end. Once I have gone all the way through I close out any pages that are left open. You should only have to complete the gold, silver, bronze offer pages once and I have found that the last set is usually the one that has the same title as the offer I am doing. I have always gotten credit for my offers doing it this way so the two final pages are not affecting your ability to get credit unless you are going straight to that first set of final pages and completing the path that includes all the yes and no pages. I hope that makes sense and answers your questions.

Now I'm confused, do you HAVE to complete the gold, silver, etc. to get the credit??

Our advertisers do not permit us to say how far you need to go in an offer to get credit it. They consider that cheating. But if an offer is a "freebie," you do not have to buy anything at all to get credit. That means that you do not have to sign up for any kind of paid trials. You MAY have to opt in to receive some free information or free newsletters. And you DO have to at least go through all of the pages to check everything out. But you do NOT have to pay for anything.

I do look through the offers and some of them I've even chosen to get the information for, but as far as the gold/silver stuff there just isn't anything that I'm interested in.

This is what I am talking about anytime I ask a question as to if I am completeing the offer corectly I get in return that I am trying to defraud the company thing. I am in no way trying to figure out how to "just get credit."

yes this does make sense as I ALWAYS complete the offers to the end and do something on each one that I complete. I am not a person to just want something for nothing by any means. This actually helps alot. I have been closing the pop up thing out first so maybe who knows this may be changing something. Who knows since you say they usually have a different name.

Thanks

In the last six months or so I have been concentrating more on the surveys than offers because I know I will get credit for those (most anyway ;)) Since we had a crazy credit a while ago and I got 6 out of 7 I have started trying a few a day. I look and see what's crediting for everyone and try them. It seems to me that the bigger ones like $1 and up don't work for me as much as the smaller ones. I'm not sure why.

I'm just so thankful to SR for this opportunity to make some extra money for my Disney fix. Every penny helps!:love:

Maybe I'm still just not getting it, but it seems that only a very few of the offers credit for me. I have whole list in pending that I thought I did right, but they just sit there not doing anything.

Maybe I need to clear the cookies out of the kitchen too :rotfl:

I am with you on the non crediting ones too. My mom and I compare lists all the time it is too funny. I have been doing pretty well on surveys and the sure fire credits but I think the economy and these sites are just getting tight you know. I love sunshine and I wouldn't choose anywhere else.

When I was using SR regulary 2 years ago I did very well on offers. I did them more than the surveys. I returned to SR to try ot earn some extra cash for our trip in November. Since I have been back 3-12-2009 I have been doing about 5 offers a day. I rarely have any credit. The only ones I do get to credit are for signing up for newsletters, emails or sending cards to myself. I have over 36 pending. I don't know what is so different but I find that offers rarely pay like they use to.
