WOW WHATS GOIN ON HERE!!

It's been said before, but really the best way to get them to credit is to clear your cookies/cache after each offer is credited to your account, and use new emails for offers.

Sometimes I will go as far as restarting my computer also after I clear my cookies/cache of more than 10-15 offers, just for safe measure. But sometimes I will go through spells where hardly any offers will credit for days so I will just not do offers for a few days. And then when I resume, most of them credit.

It's not a 100% system. I know it's frustrating, but there's really nothing we can do about it if they don't credit because if FC doesn't get paid for it, we don't get paid for it.

We need a like button! ^^ That is the best way to explain it...

How do you clear cookies?

[acecadet24]

I found that most of my offers credited. I have tried one subscription offer from netflix. Hopefully it will be credited in a few days.

How do you clear cookies?

Most reliable way is to click on "Start"
then click on "Control Panel"
then click on "Internet Options"

In the General Category, half way down is a section labeled Browsing history.
Click on "Delete" In the new window:

You want to delete Temporary Internet Files
Cookies
History

Click on each link in sequence and it will remove all of the temporary files, cookies and history that is stored on your PC. Depending on how long it's been since you did this, it may take some time -- and the longer it takes, the better your PC will respond after you clear these files.

When the processing window closes, click "Close" and then "Ok" and close the Control Panel window.

If you use Internet Explorer, there is a "tools" link in the upper right side of your screen: click on Internet Options and it will take you to the same "General" category window.

When you access websites again, you may have to load your username to sign in or if you play games, the games will need to be downloaded again. If you're on broadband this will not be a problem -- on dial-up it will take time to reload games and pages that had been previously stored on your computer.


I have also downloaded CCleaner (google this for the free download). It does a more complete job of cleaning out temp files, cookies and a lot of other things that might be slowing your computer down.

azrolator, another FC member, made the following comment:
 
The CCleaner tip is great. I use it a lot. I actually don't use it to clear my Firefox cookies though. If you are using Firefox you can use the ctrl-alt-del keys to bring up the cookie clearing menu. But I downloaded an add on called Selective Cookie Delete. By using this to clear my cookies I can make a list of websites that I don't want the cookies removed from, so that when I clear my cookies, it doesn't log me out from games and things I am playing.

Do you set up a separate email address for each and every offer you do.  (Primary objective is to make it easier to see the confirmation email that is sent to you

Are you serious....you set up a brand new email for EVERY single offer you do??

Presumably, it's not being done to avoid completing the same offer with the same e-mail address so, any other reason would be as speculative. 
The OP's 'reason' for doing so doesn't make much sense, ("Primary objective is to make it easier to see the confirmation email that is sent to you"), since checking one e-mail account for such confirmations is more efficient than checking several accounts.
 

I don't do offers anymore because I don't want to set up separate emails for new offers.
I agree that doing it for every offer seems onerous and if you find you can get an effective approval rate with fewer, than by all means do what works for you.

When I first started, I did offers and initially got a reasonable approval rate, but as time went on, I found that fewer were approved.  I believe this occurred because I used the same email address all the time. 

You can't always tell whether a particular offer is provided by the same advertiser that you responded to in the past -- even if it is a different offer -- but I do believe that if that same advertiser already has your email address, if highly unlikely that you will get approved. 

And then there is the spam.  Trying to sift through the spam to find confirmation emails was also onerous.  I'm sure I lost approvals because I didn't see the confirm requests in my regular mailbox or my spam files.

So I gave up doing offers.  I do the dailys, the Forum posting, and contest and an occasional survey and am happy enough with the results.

That would more likely be due to the same IP address, rather than same e-mail addy however, I'm not sure that's a contributing factor.

Again, qualifying or being DQ'd appears to be more attributable to demographic parameters, (and surveys filling quotas for particular demographic slices of the pie they're baking).

Always clean your cashe and cookies! I hope that helps!

[erinelise2]

thanks for the tip on the ccleaner, i will have to look into that.

I agree that gettting qualified for surveys does depend on one's demographics. 

But that doesn't apply for regular offers and I was referring to approval/crediting ratios on regular offers.

I just don't do the surveys. There are other survey sites that do pay. I cannot afford to waste my time on things that do not pay especially surveys that are boring and alot of work.
