I have a notebook and I write everything there. What the offer's name is, what email address I used, how many credits it was for. When things credit (if they credit) I check them off and add it to a running total. I use the same notebook (it's a ledger book) for shopping, scratchoff, paid clicks, etc.

For an offer like...the Boca Java offer, or something else where you pay shipping and get something, etc...I will do *some* of them. I won't do the ones that weird me out...two of the things that my radar went off on and I didn't do, later on were talked about by fellow SR people as not having gone well. I was glad I had that "alert" in my head about them, because I use a debit card and canNOT afford to have unknown, and sometimes unauthorized, charges being thrown at me.

You talk about a chapstick thing. Was that an "offer" where the first page is to vote for something..."do you like cherry chapstick or vanilla chapstick?" for instance? If so, no, you probably won't see chapstic in your mailbox. Those offers, you get the giftcard, or whatever, if you do all those "gold, silver, platinum" offers towards the end of the survey, and that usually involves $$ and even getting others to do them too, I've heard. But if it's one of those freebie signups, like SR has a walmart freebie page, then I'd expect those to show up eventually.


I was only keeping offers in "pending" for a few weeks, but recently I've been on hiatus from doing them (hiatus from making money, is another way to put it, LOL) and I think I need to clear that out. (Oh, and when I clear them out, I go through my notebook and cross out the offers that never credited)
