Title: Consolation Credits for Receiving NO Credits?
Post by: dealdeal1 on April 01, 2010, 06:35:15 pm
I would love to see FC offer a consolation credit to all who complete an offer but are never credited! There seems to be a lot of discontent with the members on FC when they are not given credit for doing offers! My suggestion would be to offer 1/2 of the credits, Example: a .02 credit offer would be a .01 consolation credit. A .50 credit offer would be a .25 consolation credit. Get the picture? What are your thoughts?

With no way to verify that someone actually completed an offer (short of getting credited), and no way for us to get paid for non-crediting situations, it would simply be abused and financially impossible.

What if someone recorded a video of them completing the offer and uploaded it to youtube?  :dontknow:

I used to be involved with another website that paid you to complete offers and also to read emails. If you would open a support ticket, and send them a copy of the email that the company sent  you "Thanking you for completing the offer, OR welcoming you to their program, or whatever that proved that you had completed the offer. They would go after that company and get their money from that company, then they would credit you for completing the offer.

What about surveys that let you in for half or more of the survey and then kick you out.  Thats not fair .  it would seem that there would be some way of tracking this too.

I agree and will not do surveys for that reason. I have often tried and after about 20 minute, it says "sorry, ...". So, they can forget about me!

To those who say we're not paying anything and it's free money:

Time is money. For all those wasted minutes you spend doing failed surveys, you could be putting that time towards learning a new skill, exercising, or spending time with your family. Don't sell your life short, it's valuable and it's still wasted when things don't approve.

I've given up on trying to complete offers:  there are just too many ways the advertiser can deny you credit.  I do try for the surveys, however, and I favor survey sites that do provide a consolation credit in cash, but they are few and far bvetween.  Most just give you a entry in their latest sweepstakes -- never have won any of those.

Can't see FC being able to offer a consolation reward for trying unless they could get the advertiser to pay for it.  Not likely.

We tried for years to pursue manual credits from our advertisers, but it's a losing proposition since they represent a lot of hassle for minimal reward, plus it's a pure loss for an advertiser.  Think about it: they can handle manual credits in a timely fashion, and pay out more money.  Or, they can ignore or delay requests indefinitely, and pay out less money.  It's not hard to see which one they choose.  Some sites may offer consolation credits or manual credits, but I doubt they have the high payouts and no fees you find at FusionCash.

I think that the benefits doesn't outweight the cost with this matter. It would take too much manpower to establish a position to go after sponsors for the X amount of credits. Not only that but need to move on with the no credits and waste no more time with finding out why it didn't credit. There are topics you canfollow to get a advantage on which offers has credited for other members. In the end, if you didn't get the credit, you didn't loose anything. I look at it as free money opportunity with zero risk on zero investment and a high yield.

Like I said, you do lose something and that's time. Ultimately it's up to the individual to decide what their time is worth, but in my opnion, having a 50/50 chance at getting a small reward is just not worth the minutes put into it.

I personally stick around fusioncash for the dailies, forum bonus and the occasional survey. It's hard to justify doing offers when the site themselves couldn't even tell you what's going on when things don't approve. It's not a knock on just fusioncash btw, i'm aware that the entire gpt world is like this.

I guess I need to make Fusion Cash a daily stop for me. I signed up more than a month ago, but became so caught up with other things I was doing that I just forgot I even had a log on for Fusion Cash. I kind of like the site because it is fun to just share thoughts and ideas in the forums.

completed is the key word here. After spending a long (read lllooooonnnnnnggggg time) prequalifying you get sorry you are not qualified, would you like to try another? my answer is now NO!

Yes. I almost never do surveys for this same reason. Very exasperating! :BangHead:

That and sometimes, more often than not, you get through the prequalification phase only to be told that you are not the demographic they are looking for. That can be a bit annoying.

It would be cool if there was a way to auto complete the prequalification stuff so you could find out if it's actually worth your time before using it up.
Couldn't you start a law suit with the company that's withholding your money? I mean, just do one big nasty lawsuit and take all their money and laugh and laugh and laugh.

What are the situations in which people would not receive credit for an offer that they attempt to complete?  A similar type of research/survey/deal group that I am also a member of does a click and verify type of system, where anything clicked gets automatically recorded, and then is verified later.  Why not do this and then it would be obvious which items a member attempted to complete but could not?

We do automatically record details of your clicks.  But until we are notified by the advertiser that you successfully completed the offer, we have no way of knowing anything else...

If you complete an offer correctly, and you are not credited, it looks exactly the same to us as if you just clicked the offer and then closed the window without doing anything.  There's no way to tell those two situations apart from our perspective.  I hope you can understand that this means it's impossible to issue "consolation" credits because there's no way to verify who actually completed a given offer, unless they are credited automatically.  It's one of those cases where a few bad apples ruin it for everyone.

I don't really mind that much not getting credit. I see it as a failure and try to make up for that by doing even more offers. In the long run, i make more because of that one offer not crediting. Making a minimum requirement to earn each day is great and if you can't make that money, try harder the next day. :peace:

Your right, but there must be some way to make sure that people are credited for there effort and intrest in these offers, I dont much like the feeling of completing an offer and not knowing for sure if I'll recive credit for it. I know that were told not to sign up to programs that dont intrest us just for earnings, and I agree but I'm sure that a lot of people here joined this site with the hope of earning, and its very frustrating to use my credit card for a trial offer, or any other offer, and not recive credit for the offer, and have no way of making sure that any issues will be resolved, In fact I recently did a offer that I wasn't credited for I can only hope that fusion cash will resolve it, and I'm also hoping that this site and many others like this one find better ways to make certain that members recive credit for participating in offers. :peace:

I agree with the admins, there is no way of finding out. BUT GUYS COME ON!...
You do get credited most of the time (I hope).
Take it as a learning experience.
I have been credited at least once for each survey.

I've done many offers that haven't been credited, but the only one that bothers me is the elite dating site one. i only signed up for it for the credit, as i'm not in the market for nasty dating sites. however, no credit, just a bunch of inappropriate emails and misleading emails that take me to a *bleep* site. good thing i was smart enough to use a different email address than the one i check at work.

Post by: Valadinx on December 08, 2010, 08:44:59 am
Yes it is annoying. Frankly my clicked and not credited is starting to look like an index at the back of a book :P
However that being said I can agree with the admins that it is almost simply impossible to give we're sorry you didn't qualify credit. Yes there are some survey sites that do this <sorry it's against the rules for me to name them but they are out there> but the difference is they are straight surveys no other offers, no daily tasks etc. FC has probably the most numerous offers in both type and quantity that I have found. So you need to take the good with the bad :-

 My advice-
               1. always clear cookies before logging in to FC
                2. Be patient and persistent . I have found that even if it says immediate credit, on weekends it may be as late as tues before I see the credit

Okay, here's my two cents worth. Oh wait, this is actually ten cents worth, isn't it, hehe ;) Wow, nobodies ever paid me ten cents for my thoughts before, let alone two cents.   :notworthy:

Some facets at play here. I assume FC is aware of their advertisers, whether it be for OFFERS or SURVEYS, aren't you all? Couldn't there be a RATING feature in play here on FC like they use on EBAY. When a "bad apple" shows up, and a user doesn't get paid, the user is able to RATE the advertiser. Too many bad ratings, and other users will know before stepping in what to expect (or not expect) before being burned themselves. It seems to work on Ebay, because you wouldn't want to do business with someone who has a lot of negative votes, right?

Anyway this could work on FC? I'll leave it to the Gawds that be to decide HOW to do this, and/or if they see it as feasible. But at least those NOT getting paid as they should, would have the last laugh, as they influence how other users participate down the road. And at the same time, maybe advertisers will take heed that they are accountable in this manner, and pay up as they should.

Just my ten cents worth - I paid my dues!  :angel12:

ok this thread seems to become a really long one....
I understand the pain and frustration of people not getting credit for offers and surveys. I myself have experienced it many times. I also understand that from Admin's perspective this is not a practical thing. At first sight 'to ask for a compensation' does look like too much to ask for. Non - crediting offers/surveys are a big concern for a majority of people here. I think -

1. Even after following the tips to make surveys and offers credit, if there is a particular survey which has received continuous complaints of not crediting, with proof of the survey being completed, then the admin needs to rethink. 
2. The compensation need not be 50%. I know of sites that offer upto 8% as compensation if there is enough proof of the survey being completed. I think that is not too much to ask for. Now that is value for time.

These are just my humble thoughts keeping in mind that FC was free to join and has a fair amount of bonus and promotions.

Hey Admins, to the post I made 2 posts ago (above), I was out hunting around right after that. There's a website (competitor I'm sure), who does exactly what I suggest - a rating system, right on the ads/offers. It's called Unique Rewards. I hope you won't hold me accountable for posting a company name, but I wanted to reinforce my suggestion to do this, because another company IS doing it! They have a 5 star rating program for each offer, and the ability to leave a COMPLAINT right on the ad. How slick is that! I hope we can do something like that here, if we don't already.
