85% of those offers don't credit. I don't know why FC keeps them on the site but if you noticed the offers rarely are updated. You will find most people only do the daily surveys, paid to click, daily email, contests, and paid to post. They are the only offers that seem to credit properly and consistantly.
Don't overlook the Daily Tasks, if you have the time and the patience. The more you do these, the better you'll get, but they are time-consuming and they do have a learning curve. If you check the topic
What Offer Approved for you Today?, and work your way backwards from the last page, you'll see that many members receive one or MORE credits from these Daily Tasks on certain days, plus you can attempt them every 24 hrs!
I usually stick to the $.16 or $.20 tasks because they're easier. You've got to be a little computer savvy and be willing to spend some time on these because you have 5 or 10 pages to complete without making too many mistakes before you'll get credited. However, I almost always get my Approval within 15 minutes if I reach the Congrats screen and they are a reliable source of pennies toward that $15 in Offers you need to cash out. If I wasn't doing these, I don't believe I would have been able to cash out each month since I signed up with FC in mid-March. Just received credit for this Daily Task a few minutes ago:
Special: Verify the Correct Category for 5 Products (Home, Furnishings, Tools, Housewares & More) - 9c95e5b7 2011-05-27 $0.20 ApprovedThat just tipped me over the $25 threshold, so I can now cash out any time between now and May 31st. Gotta think about that!
Bottom line: it's up to you. If you get lots of referrals, great! I'm also working on that. But those are bonuses, not offers.
The other good way to get credit in Offers is to attempt the Daily Surveys every day. I'm in the wrong demographics for most of the six dailies, but every once in a while I find a live one, get through it and get credited. Yesterday, for the first time in a week and a half, I got credited for Surveyhead! You never know. These sponsors do rotate their surveys. They're not always the same. Sometimes you will get lucky! Hope all that helps some of you newbies. I love FC!
