Hipmunk Offer :(

[Dvessella1983]

This offer really bugs me alot. FC has it in the "repeat daily" area and for whatever reason I log in and try to do Hipmunk for $0.35 a day and for the past 7 day's it has failed to credit me. I leave it on there site for 3-4 min just to make sure they capture my cookies or whatever data they need to report that I did the offer correct. I refresh my page and I still see no credit even in the my account section why?

If this is a third party offer and they dont know if you have visited and searched for a hotel in order to report it back to FC to credit us then why have it.

Let me know your thoughts

This offer is hit or miss for me. I too leave the page open for almost 10 minutes. Sometimes it credits and sometimes it doesn't.

I can't figure this one out either.  Its on the Repeatable daily page and on the video page (for much less) - sometimes more than once.  I only try the .35 one.... (why would you try .03 if there is a possibility of .35?)

Hit or miss, for sure.

It is possible to get it to credit daily, sometimes it does take 2 or 3 tries but it still takes me way less time than I would spend on 5 Hyprmx videos or that I spent on the quiz videos that never paid.  Cleaning cookies/broswers before every attempt is critical.  I had no luck with it in IE when I tried it, I use Firefox.  I know on another thread that some who hadn't been able to get it in Chrome got it in FireFox.  Keep playing with it, it really doesn't require much time on a daily basis.

I get it to credit daily in Chrome. HOWEVER, some days the Hipmunk search results page will load the results side-by-side instead of single file in a row and I can't get it to credit... so I come back much later in the day and it usually loads properly and I get my credit.

Funny how some of these are finicky!

Gotta clear the cookies first!  After two days of not being paid, I got paid today.  Yea!  I will try multiple time like those who have suggested it here the next time I have problems.  Thanks guys!

No idea why you are not getting credit. I have been doing this offer daily for over a month and I have received credit every time. I use either Chrome or Safari most of the time.

Like any other offer, clear out your cookies...

I used this offer daily for months and get credited 95% of the time. I use Firefox, don't know if that makes a difference or not.

Experienced an error message (404) or two while loading it the other day, but I waited it out.  I selected city and dates, but it hung up after hitting 'search,' continually stuck in loading mode without ever landing on the search results.  So, clearing cookies/cache again I retried.  It gave me another error message (504) so I thought maybe it could be maintenance on the site on Hipmunk's part.  I cleared cookies/cache again -- not going to give up -- I have gotten it every day since reading 'how to succeed' in this forum last May.

Finally it loaded and performed search just as it always had before, in which it credited reliably as spending at least 3 - 4 min. total on viewing properties, listed single-file to the left of the city map, followed by hitting either 'Reserve' or 'Book' after selecting one hotel, then keeping that page open 1 - 2 minutes (it quickly prepares the invoice for you to review; may include sign-up info, but you don't need to fill that in).  Hmmm...getting that invoice probably completes the search for crediting purposes?  Strangely, it still didn't credit, but I cleared cookies/cache once again and it did.  Took 20 min. to credit, not too unusual, but normally it's been between 2 - 10 min.

That said, out-of-the-ordinary error messages interrupted it.  Important note is to remember 'daily' is about 24 hrs. as it puts the date on the credit.  Still using Chrome, but wouldn't think any other browser was better or worse for that matter.  Hope this helps.

I usually can count on Hipmunk crediting, just not immediately. I will do it first and than go to the community to get my posts in or watch a few videos for extra credit. At that point it has credited.

I have been credited for Hipmunk more than one time but usually do not get credit.  I do not know what the secret is to getting credit most of the time.  I have used safari, chrome and firefox when attempting to get credit. I do not find one browser works better than any of the others. 

Since I ha

Since I have not tried Hipmunk in several days, I may give it another go today.

I can get the daily .35¢ offer to work with (little to) no problems, but can't get the "video" .04¢ or .05¢ ones to work at all.

I've found Chrome and cookie/cache clearing to save the day for getting the .35¢ credit.

I have only attempted the video offer (when I had it) after I did the .35 offer.  I suspect that because I had done the other that one wouldn't work.  I can't remember the message I got when I clicked on the video but it didn't even go to Hipmunk.  So if you only get to do one well....

Okay, I've been having better success with this offer in the last few days. I use firefox and make sure to clear cookies. After clicking the offer, I leave the page open with the search results of the hotels for about five or so minutes. I check to see if the credit shows up in my account first before I close out the hotel page. Once I see the credit, then I close out the page. As a matter of fact, I just got credit for this offer today.
Before, it's been hit or miss with this offer, but for the last few days I've gotten credit consistently.
