Anyone Else Having Crediting Issues for GiveUsYour2Cents?

[Oryon20]

Just wondering if anyone else has had any crediting issues with this offer over the last two days.  I have successfully completed a survey both days, and have failed to receive credit each time.  This offer has been one of the more sure things for crediting since I have joined here in July of 2009.  Prior to yesterday, I think it hadn't credited after a successful survey once or maybe twice for me ever.  So, this is a little concerning.

I've always done the surveys using IE8.  If tomorrow I successfully complete another and still don't get credit, maybe I'll need to give Firefox a try and see if it's a browser issue.

This offer recently moved to delayed crediting (we were only notified about an hour ago).  So your successful completions should show up 1-4 days after they occur.  Sorry for the inconvenience.  With any luck, it will be back to instant in a few weeks.

Thank you for the update.

Now knowing this, I have a couple questions.  When the offer credited to the account, we automatically were 'locked out' from trying to complete it again until a full 24 hours had passed.  Is this offer still once per 24 hours?  Is it now once per calendar day?  Something else?

The reason I ask is if it is still once per 24 hours, it's going to be hard to remember at what point a completed survey was actually 'accepted' by them.  Was it immediately upon getting to the congratulations page?  Five minutes later?  An hour?  This is important in that I would really hate to do a survey for 30 minutes, successfully complete it, but not have it credit in 1-4 days because it was done before 24 hours had passed on their clock.  I'm wondering if until it goes instant again, we need to maybe document the time when we get to the congratulations page and maybe then wait until some time after that 24 hours later to be safe?

Honestly, I don't even remember at what time today I even hit the congratulations page when done, only that it was the afternoon.  To be safe, should I wait until tomorrow evening to try another survey?

I would appreciate if you could clarify/explain this, as like I said, we don't now have the page telling us it hasn't been 24 hours yet if we click too early.  Thank you!

Yeah, it's an unfortunate situation all around.  I removed the 24 hour timer for GUY2C because without instant credit, it is pointless.
You should indeed try to remember when you got the 'congrats' page and wait 24 hours plus a few minutes more, before you try again.  I know this is asking a lot, but we're forced into this situation because of a small group of people committing fraud on the offer (as usual a small group of jerks ruin a good thing for everyone). 

The official timeline on this is a few weeks but there's a chance it'll be fixed by tomorrow... we're holding out hope

While having to keep track of the time is a bit inconvenient, it's better than not having the offer available at all while this situation is going on.  I noticed a bit ago that the two surveys from the last few days both credited today, which made me happy.

Thanks, as always, for the updates!

Sure thing - glad they came through.
