Offer Activity Down

[memanana]

Same here as everyone else I try the offers but for the last couple of months none have credited I have even used some of my old e-mail accounts and still no crediting.But I still keep trying.

To be honest, something is going on with crediting on freebie offers. I've been experiencing it as well as many others. It is NOT a problem that is unique to SR though. From what I am hearing, it is happening at all programs.

I think what is going on is that people are getting frustrated and giving up trying. I know that I used to try just about every freebie, but I've cut way back because I'm having crediting issues. I'm sure many others are doing the same.

So, what you are seeing is that while the offers appear to be crediting at the same percentage rates, it is only because those of us who are having issues have dropped out of the race, so to speak, resulting in the low numbers of people trying offers that you are seeing. If we all jumped back in and tried all of the offers again, I think you'd be shocked to see how many of us aren't getting credit for many of the offers. I've tried and tried, but I can't figure out why things aren't crediting, but something strange is going on in the freebie world. I've been involved in rewards programs for 10 years. I know the drill, and something isn't right lately.

I know that you have been trying really hard to get new offers up. I see them all posted and your efforts are appreciated but it gets very frustrating when you give all of your information, sign up for extra things within the offers, take your time, clear cookies, etc, and then things don't credit.

Angie, you rock! I've been slacking off lately more as well and that is due in large part to it being tax season at work. I'm getting stressed out enough there that I don't want to deal with that kind of crap at home. Surveys haven't gone very well for me since about Christmas, but I keep trying a few times a day. Once in a while, I'll get one, although for some weird reason it seems like I'm doing better with surveys on the weekends right now.

As for offers, like others have said, I just don't feel like investing a lot of time in them right now. I'm trying to get myself to do one or two a day, but sometimes I give myself a day or three off from that. When I see the new offers up, I check the auto credits thread and manual credits to see what's working well and try those. If I see one from a company I have a really good track record with, I'll try that immediately. It's just that on days like today when there are like 10 new offers, it's kind of like freebie overload.

OK, what's going on??? Nothing credited for so long, just some hit or miss stuff, like one every other week or so. And today I've had three credit? I'm thrilled but mystified.

I tend to SR in bursts. I was working really hard for my cash out and once I reached it I slowed down. I haven't been having much credit and thought I should just take a break.

I still try to get a survey in every day. Slowly but surely I'll get to WDW!

Maybe the offer Gods have started to smile down upon us again. Earlier today, I stated that I have not been able to get an tnmtech offer to credit in some time. After that I went and tried an offer as soon as I saw it was a tnmtech offer I thought that this will never credit and took a phone call and let the offer sit. I was positive that it would not credit. Well, I just checked and I received credit for it. Maybe we will start and get credits again. Should I press my luck and try another?

I did 6 offers today and 4 of them credited and the other two are manual credits so may come through when the credits are pulled. I made sure that I didn't have any other programs open except SR. I used a new email. I did one of each type and I went slow through the offers and waited for each page to completely load including the ones where you pick an offer on the silver gold. I let it open completely on the pop up and read what it said before closing it out. I only had 2 confirmation emails to respond to. I have made 7.61 today not counting the DS that won't credit until tomorrow. I would say it must be a good day for doing freebies.

well after reading these posts, i decided to try some. and i just had a heck of a time getting my computer working normal again.

i stopped doing them because i stopped getting credit. i had that extra 15 dollars attached to my phone bill and then i have had computer problems.

so after what just happened i just can't risk it with this computer oh and the couple i did just try wanted my phone number. i will not give that anymore, not after the 15 dollar added to my phone bill.

I still love the freebies - but like everyone else, the payout is down. I actually kept track...

In January I did 42 offers. 17 did not credit. 60% credited.
In February I did 54 offers. 42 did not credit. 22% credited.
So far I have done 10 in March. 6 did not credit. 40% credited.

In February, even ones that always work and I enjoy - MID, A#7, HFTM - did not work. And when the Auto Loan one didn't credit and I received all those insurance quotes - I wanted to scream! (At least I know I'm with the right insurance company!) The elpath, modpath, etc are once in a blue moon. Kind of like the days of "Un-Generous Genie," I never got one of them to credit!

So, since I made SM for this quarter - I thought I'd take it slow for a week or so and then try again. But, I will be back!

Wow, I DEFINITELY think Miss Angie was sprinkling something around! There's a flood of credits in the Auto credits thread AND I finally got my confirmation email from my last order Sunday night. I couldn't clear cookies till I got that and I got my GC to finally show up too! I've gotten one offer so far, ubt just tried two others this morning. I'll give it another shot after work, depending on how things go today.

Thanks Angie!
