Offer Activity Down

[jaime]

I have been taking a break from the offers too. Nothing was crediting for me either, but after reading the last 2 pages here, I'm going to go and try some today!

Thanks to everyone for your feedback. Keep it coming if you have more to share. I have been reading your posts as they've come in. I appreciate each of you for taking time to let us know your thoughts. Member satisfaction is very important to us at SR, and I want to ensure that I am doing my part to make this a place you want to spend your time. I'll be reviewing offers over the next few days. Perhaps I will have some feedback to share with you that will help increase your sucess in this area!

Well I was inspired but all the posts yesterday saying how they got credit, so last night I went to the Auto Credit thread, did two that many people posted that they got to credit & still no credit....just a FYI....I set up a new email account, didn't have anything but SR open (as JNorth suggested) & still no credit....I tried...and I'll continue to try...but just wanted to report.

missangie, I really do appreciate all the time you take looking for offers for all of us, putting them up, taking them down to check if they are crediting, pulling offers whose links have expired, etc. and I like the offers being available. Thanks so much!

Yes, so much, Angie, for working so hard on this, with us in mind!

I, too, am seriously discouraged by how few offers I do actually credit, even though I think I'm doing all I can to get them to. I still try, every now & then, & do a few, but then nothing credits & I'm only reinforced in my disappointment.

Another quote, from arob414: "...so I have spent the past several days trying to figure out if something, on my computer, is blocking cookies. I have been checking cookies, page by page, and several offers (modpath, for one) don't seem to leave cookies. This seems odd because I would think that is how the offers are tracked. I always have offers that go into pending but there is just so many, suddenly. And, it could just be that I have deluged the companies with my address and ip and that is why I am not crediting. But, since others, who have been on as long and longer than me, are crediting, I still think that it is possible that one of my software protections is blocking something. If I ever figure it out, I will pass a long the info. I don't think this would be considered cheating, as in figuring out how to "work" the offer, because I think it could be a computer issue that I need to fix. I don't have anything against cookies, just want to avoid something that will screw up my computer or steal shopping credit from SR."

Please do pass on this info if/ when you figure it out! & feel free to PM it to me, as well, especially if posting it is a problem for any reason. I'm really discouraged but/and am always on the lookout for ideas to turn the situation around.

I forgot to mention that for the first 5 weeks or so that I was a member here, I didn't understand how to use the 'Pending' page. In fact, I didn't even know that it existed! I don't know if I'm the only 1, but if not, that might be seriously skewing your #s, Angie, as new folks might tend to sign up a lot, in their enthusiasm, & as bartleby1 said, just quietly drop out, when they get disappointed.

I accept the time expended in doing offers, when they credit, but nobody likes to feel like they're wasting their time.

Just like others have said, I am discouraged by not getting offers to credit. When I first started, I was pretty clueless about cookies and how to get through some of the offers. Now, I clear cookies, every once in a while change e-mails, click on the confirmation e-mails, and check the Automatic Credits thread. Still, my pending list just seems to get longer! I will keep trying, just not as a priority unless I have time.

same here Jen.

Hmmm.....today I got a whole bunch of Manual Credits posted to my account, seriously taking a dent out of my pending file and adding a nice chunk to my coffer. I think having the Manual Credits come through is a HUGE morale booster. Whenever I don't get credit on the hour, I just think, "Oh well, I'll retry in 30 days." I know that posting Manual Credits takes some manpower, but perhaps if they posted in some sort of schedule we could be privvy to, that might help? Just a thought....

[MdCaterer]

I have tired of trying offers that do not credit. I have tried all of the suggestions, clearing emails before doing an offer, clearing cookies in between offers, I even reply to all emails that come through after the offers and still they rarely EVER credit. I have tried all but the last of the now or never offers and none of those have credited even though I have gotten the confirmation emails, etc. It is frustrating and not worth the time and energy put into it.

I am really hit or miss with the offers. I read this page a couple days ago, and took a deep breath and tried again. I have internet explorer, Windows XP. My laptop is a few years old, I've been a member of SR for 3 years now.

I ran CCleaner, and made a new gmail address.


And............I got about 5-6 to credit! About $3 in freebies! so, it worked for me! I did a couple more today, and one credited. Some are NOT instant crediting.

This is what has credited for me since yesterday.
