Credited Counter

[ArcaneAmoeba]

I think that a counter for the number of people that have been credited on offers would be a valuable addition to this site.  It would help people not waste their time on offers that won't even credit.  Even better would be an attempted/credited ratio.  What do you think?

Sounds like a fantastic idea to me. 

[crystalhodder]

Now I totally agree with you on this one!  It would help others that are not sure of it to decide a whole lot easier if they would want to do it.  I hope FC would consider this idea.  Good one!  Have great day everyone!

While it is a nice idea, also keep this in mind.  If you are seeing offers in the offers section, unless they just went up and not many people have tried them yet, they all are crediting to a percentage which is acceptable to FusionCash.  I remember the Admin addressing this once in a thread in which many were posting they weren't receiving credit on an offer, and as a result the offer was later pulled down since it was not crediting at an acceptable rate for the site.  I have seen several times them mentioning they monitor crediting rates often for all offers.

Remember, if you don't get credited, FusionCash doesn't get paid, and therefore you don't get paid.  It's in their best interest to only keep the best crediting offers up.

While that may be true, I think that that example was more on a complaint basis and not on a percentage basis.  I'd just like to see something that let's people judge how likely it is that they will be credited, so that they don't need to fill up the forum with complaints.  Some kind of offer rating system might work for this purpose too.

I think that is a good idea, too. That may be the reason why some of us have trouble getting credited for videos that we watch in its entirety. Some of us get credited for one video that we watch and we don't get credited for the others; it may be because the number of viewers allowed to get credited for viewing the video has been reached and no more credits are given to additional viewers of the video. It doesn't make sense that you get credited for one video that you watched in its entirety and not the others that you did the same for as well. It just doesn't make sense; I do not believe that it is some type of system glitch as the reason for not getting credited. It has to do with the maximum number of viewers being reached for the video(s). It would be great for a count to be shown to us so we don't have to continue wasting our time and wondering why we aren't getting credited for an offer or a video when it doesn't matter how many times we try, we will never get credited for it because the maximum number has been reached.

That's a brilliant idea!  It would save soooo much time.  People wouldn't even bother attempting the offers that don't credit and will be able to focus on offer that do credit.  Thus earning more money. It's perfect! Everyone could use a little extra time and a little extra money.

really good idea and also very good rebuttles!

[froghoppinchic]

I think this is an awsome idea!! I am sooo tired of clicking on offers and not getting the credit. for the most part ive gotten them, the ones really irritating me it seems are the ones i have to download and install. i have yet to get credit for any of those yet which is kinda aggrevating.luckily the programs are cool so i enjoy them! BUT IT WOULD SAVE ALOT OF  WASTED TIME!!

Whether you choose to do an offer or don't should be based on whether the offer is something which interests you, as per the ToS.  If you are looking for an insurance quote, and you don't get credit, then you lost nothing in trying the offer.  If you need translation software, yet it doesn't credit, you still will get use out of the software.  If you don't enjoy surveys, you really shouldn't be doing them then in the first place, and then won't get upset if one fails to credit.

So many things can happen for an offer to fail to credit that a rating system by users wouldn't be a fair assessment of the offer's crediting rate.  What if some users didn't read the ToS, tips, etc before diving in and have their browser set to not accept third party cookies?  They go and rate the offer poorly because it didn't credit, when it really was their own fault for not reading up first.  Or, if the instructions say to confirm an e-mail address and they never follow through.  Leave another bad rating?  Again, this would be user error/fault.  I just don't see it as a fair assessment by having such a system.  Ratings could be skewed very badly based solely on users just not understanding how to correctly complete the offer.  Plus, the forum currently acts as a great resource for everyone to talk about offers in the 'Offers' section.

If users don't get credited for an offer, FC doesn't make any money either, so it's in the best interests of the site to make sure that people DO get credit for offers that they complete.  Yes, we enjoy doing it, but we also do it for the money.

Okay, maybe a rating system wouldn't work out very well, but I think a simple thumbs up (offer credited) or thumbs down (offer didn't credit) would be fine.  The majority of people read what the requirements are before completing an offer.  Other reasons for thumbs down could be valid too (too many popup ads, intrusive, spyware, etc...) that could really improve the FC experience by cutting down on bad offers.  I don't think it would be abused as much as you say it would.  To cut down on abuse if the site admins deemed it necessary, people would be required to write a comment explaining why they gave the offer a thumbs down.

Or even better, there could be a "Report this Offer" button that allows users to file complaints against specific ads and just a simple credit counter.  Then people could view both the number of people who the offer credited for and the complaints of those whom it did not.  The whole forum system for reporting bad offers is inconvenient, it would be much more streamlined if it were done this way.
Just some ideas, let me know if you like them (or not).

sounds good to me

[crystalhodder]

I really like this idea.  I think it will help everyone in making decisions faster about each one.  Cool idea!!
 

[mynevaeh]

Sounds like a good idea to me.  Although some of the other members made valid points about the Tos but we do also do this for the money.  And we understand that the cash is an added bonus to offers that we are genarally intereste  d, but the reason we joined FC was indeed for the FREE cash.  Just my thought.

[dmal15]

this sounds like an excellent idea.  some offers may be better than what people say if only people who were rejected are heard from.  on the other hand, some offers may not be as good or worth the trouble (downloads that bring about spyware warnings for .50 or a dollar).  some sort of rating or success rate as well as potential feedback from those who attempt the offer who could provide insight may be a worthwhile proposition.
