Netflix & Smokers offer viewing issues...

[thatonekid226]

Ive had problems accessing both the Netflix and Smoking rewards offers.. They both throw this at me:

Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at servedby.advertising.com.

Retried in the IE browser, simply told me that the page could not be displayed.

Whats the deal? Id really like to do the Netflix offer..

I didnt know that smokers reward offer was even still around after it denied credit to so many members, but if it is, i want the credit for it, cuz clearly they 'fixed' their 'misconfiguration'

The issue was that the offer was crediting before they validated your age, when it should have been crediting after.  I wasn't sure if they considered someone as already "signed up" if they filled it out but didn't verify age - so when they sent the list of users who should not have been credited (and of course refused to pay) I chose to deny the credit.  As you noticed, that prevents you from seeing the offer.  I realize it may be frustrating but I have to be sure that I am only sending them unique signups.

Well i have no idea how they can verify anyone's age on the net, since i have a 20 year old son, im sure im 'of age'...but that misconfiguration stuff still had to be on their end...cuz it wasnt anything any one of us did...

It was definitely on their end, and for that I apologize.  They can verify your age by checking with third party databases that have DOB data.
