Offer magic and Daily Task questions

[rbudovec1947]

It's pretty clear that most Offers and Special Offers are pretty much the same each day, with the exception of the Specials like the Videos and the Fusion Cash Promotions. However, there are some Offers that seem to disappear off the grid for awhile and then re-appear again in a new altered form, like Tickets For Opinions. If I understood the post by Kohler, that was at the sponsor's discretion. Other good offers, like the Real Player download which I caught and was a safe download, seem to disappear for no apparent reason. They just go POOF! What's up with that?   The Daily Tasks are good because they are both a challenge to complete (although with a considerable learning curve involved if you are not very computer savvy and can seem to take forever to finish successfully) and seem to be a renewable source for daily Approval opportunities. However, many of these Daily Tasks are finished but still remain posted as a Daily task Offer. How about red-flagging them in some way so that we know these tasks are completed for the day? Better still, why aren't they simply removed until the next day if the daily task is finished and there is no more available work?

The reason that the RealPlayer offer (and other ones) "disappeared" for you is that the system automatically hides offers when you are credited for them (you can't get credit for the same offer twice, so why show it to you?).  Other users who have not yet completed that offer can still see it.

The exception to this rule is of course the "daily" offers.  Rather than hide them for the day when you are credited, the system keeps track and wont let you visit the offer less than 24 hours after you've been credited.  You'll get a message stating that you have to wait so-and-so many hours more if you click on one.

You are correct in surmising that the TicketsForOpinions offer was going up and down at the advertiser's discretion.  This does indeed happen from time to time and with different offers.  We've even had some advertisers return after 3-4 years!

Thank you, Administrator, for clearing up the confusion I had concerning the Real Player offer disappearing after I had received Approval for completing it. Of course! It makes perfect sense that the offer would be hidden from me because it was a one-time only offer but would continue to be available to other members who had not yet completed it. That just never occurred to me! I am glad that I recommended it as a good offer to click on so that other members could take advantage of a safe and easy download to get Approval on.
I'm still a little frustrated about Daily Tasks in Special Offers that inform us that the task is finished for the day so that we can no longer get approval for it on that day. That seems to come up quite often. Is that just the way it is or is there some way we can see beforehand which one of these Daily Tasks are still unfinished on that particular day? Anyone know?
