Question about Videos
« on: June 21, 2013, 09:30:12 pm »
I just recently started doing the offers on FC and I was wondering, I know on the video offers a lot of times it will be the same video just at different times of the day. Is it ok to view and be credited for the same videos more than once a day? I'm just wondering because on a different survey site I'm on its against the rules to watch the same videos more than once a day. Thanks!

you can watch as many as you can, only when they able to credit. I know some of the video are better for some browser....like firefox .....IE. welcome to FC

On FC, if the video comes back on your list of available videos to watch, you can watch it again, but you won't always get credit for the 2nd watch.

If it comes back up on my list, I will generally see if it will credit the 2nd time.  If it does, I just keeping watching it until it stops providing credit (or I get sick of the ad).  When it fails to credit, then I stop watching. 
Some ads have credited more than 5 times on one day, so it's worth testing.

I leave the video window open until I've checked my account to confirm that I've gotten credit (or not).
If it's the first time I've watched the ad and it hasn't credited, I can go back to the video window and try to figure out what I've missed (ie a 2nd step).
If it's the 2nd or later watch and it hasn't credited, I assume I've reached the limit of daily per person credits for the ad -- even if the ad does not disappear from my list.
