Pays2Shop, for instance, requires the completion of a paid offer to qualify as do most of the offers listed as free. When I asked about this I was told that these offers only need to be completed til that point to qualify yet I have not received credit for any of these offers despite having filled out these offers to that point. I think these offers should not be in the free section. That is misleading.

I AGREE ALOT OF THEM ARE NOT FREE SO Y DO THEY LIE

"Free" just means that it costs nothing to get credited for the offer. It doesn't mean that the advertiser isn't going to try and sell you something while you're visiting their site. For the advertisers, it's the entire point of this whole thing.
It IS free. Once you get to the page that says "congratulations, now complete 2 of the offers below.....(or something to that effect). You are now eligible to receive credit. It's up to you whether you want to continue on to actually complete the rest of the offers with credit cards, etc in order to get the $1000 gift card.
The difference between that and an offer in another section like "shopping" or "trials" or "holiday cash back" etc., is that you DO have to pay for something or give a credit card number before you're even eligible for the credit.
So the "free offers" really are free offers. When Fusion Cash says "offer", they mean the credit that you will receive costs nothing on your part except for your time.
I know I was sort of rambling, but hopefully it got the point across
-
no one is lieing.. they are under free as they are free... you do not need to enter any cc info. or personal info...
you complete each page untill you get to the congrats or thank you page... where the silver offers n such are... you leave the page open for about 30 seconds. then close it out. wait about 5 seconds then delete your cookies before doing the next offer.... not all offers approve for anyone.... but as long as you are doing them right and completely. and using legit info. 99% of the time you will get credit. so look back and see if you are doing something wrong.. as i have been credited for many of these types of offers and never paid a dime.

It would help to get your point across if you had actually read the post before responding. I wasn't saying that they anything about them not trying to sell something. What I was saying is that IT DOES NOT CREDIT when you complete the offers to that point. Therefore they are NOT free.

I've always had those type of offers credit when I reached the page that stated, " Congratulations "
You do not have to complete the Silver/ Gold offers. When you have reached that Congratulations page, you are done! And closing your browser down to quickly after reaching those pages can cause your offer not to credit b/c the cookie hasn't had enough time to send the info to FC! I don't know how many times we have said this trying to help people here. But people would rather complain about NOT being credited than to take some advice.
Any offer you do here, when you get to the LAST page of offer completion, leave the page open for about 15-30 seconds. That ensures that the cookie has had time enough to send the info. Bet your crediting ratio improves!

I think she got her point across perfectly. Free means you dont have to pay anything. When you fill out those offers marked "free", even if you dont get the credit for it, you still didnt have to pay for anything. Right? So....technically, those are free offers.

There is absolutely NO need for you to be so rude! I read your post TWICE before responding. The offer not crediting was only ONE point you were trying to make and the rest was about the fact that you have to complete paid offers. I was only trying to clarify for you.

well from what i understand not all r free because there is no free section just no CC needed which mean it MAY cost you in the form of a higher phone bill or being sent an paper bill in the mail from the company, you just dont have to give out your CC #, some ARE free but i have came across a few that do charge ( my cell phone bill ) in the case of one of the no CC needed offers i completed, thats how i found out the hard way. and even after charging me i still did'nt get credit
-
Pays2Shop you do!Not! have to Enter Credit Card Info!Answer yes or No To the End where it will say Thank You Page do not do the silver offers or gold or ect! On None of those Surveys where you answer yes or no's!

They credit for 90% of everyone else who does them correctly. And you're confusing "not being free" with "not crediting". Some offers credit, some don't. Continuing on with the sponsor's offers is not going to better your chance of being credited for the offer.

true

Yeah, that is why I refuse to do any offers requiring my cell phone number. So far, I have done well with avoiding charges for offers that I wasnt interested in. Do you know what is a GREAT offer? I know I mentioned it before but Im gonna say it again!! If you have kids, the Childrens Book of The Month Club offer is awesome. FC pays you--I think $12.00 to join the club and you then you get all these books in the introductory offer for like $3.00 (when you deduct what FC pays you). Your only obligation is to buy 2-4 books within the next 2 years! I hardly find that difficult to fulfill! Check it out!

Yep, you certainly are right!
-
I found this out today too.
-
I never reazed that you werecredited if you followed to the choose offers. Thanks for the info.. I will now do more surveys. I just got my first payout to my paypal account. That is the way to go. The account s free and you can just transfer it into your bank account ( or shop on e-bay like I do ).
-
Oh I thought you at least had to click on 2 of those silver/gold offers at the end. I never complete any of em, but I always thought it bettered my chances of recieving credit by clicking on them...and I usually do recieve credit, but maybe I was just doing an extra step. oops...
-
i agree
-
If you do a free offer and dont get credit can you try it again please help :wave:
-
"Free" just means that it costs nothing to get credited for the offer. It doesn't mean that the advertiser isn't going to try and sell you something while you're visiting their site. For the advertisers, it's the entire point of this whole thing.

You did, and thanks for the info. Glad i saw your post!
-
Yes the offers that claim to be free are usually not free and require some type of fee.
-
I've always had those type of offers credit when I reached the page that stated, " Congratulations "
You do not have to complete the Silver/ Gold offers. When you have reached that Congratulations page, you are done! And closing your browser down to quickly after reaching those pages can cause your offer not to credit b/c the cookie hasn't had enough time to send the info to FC! I don't know how many times we have said this trying to help people here. But people would rather complain about NOT being credited than to take some advice.
Any offer you do here, when you get to the LAST page of offer completion, leave the page open for about 15-30 seconds. That ensures that the cookie has had time enough to send the info. Bet your crediting ratio improves!
I'm new to the site and I've had that problem with not getting credit for things with Silver/Gold Offers too. I'm going to go try leaving the page open a bit longer now and see if that helps! Thanks!

I think part of the reason why it's advisable to wait 15-30 seconds is to wait for the page to actually finish loading. There is usually a progress bar somewhere in the browser status bar which denotes whether the page is down or up loading objects, etc and then when it finally finishes it will say 100% or nothing at all. That's when you know the information is finish loading.
So, if you have a fast internet connection, the page will usually finish loading in a few seconds to several seconds. But if you are on a slow internet connection it could take much longer.
All in all, as long as the page is done loading you could close it. There is no need to wait longer if nothing is transferring. imo

I'm inclined to agree with him here. Once the page is done... you are done. I can't see anything else being transmitted (cookie data for example) being transmitted after the page says done.
About the silver and gold offers.... FusionCash is pretty good about getting offers that don't require you to click on these.. but there are other sites who require this somtimes. If it helps or not I can not say for sure... but I offer this up for discussion and debate.
Given that it is the advertisers page you are expecting to let FC know that you did the offer... it would not suprise me if they simply didn't credit you if you didn't earn them more money by clicking on those offers (that's assuming of course they get paid for you to click on them and not just to sign up on them) they might simply refuse to acknowledge your visit. I can't say... I think I tend to get screwed out of a lot of offers... not so much on FC but on other sites... and I do follow the instructions.
Everyone seems to be minimalizing the fact that the OP has a point. Sometimes you are LIED to in order to get you to there page. Should FC take more responsibility in this.. I can't say... but the fact is most FREE offers are just there to a) harvest your information b) sell you something or c) make you sign up for something. IMO if you don't at least do one of these on MOST offers... they don't credit you fairly. Why? Because you have not made them any money why should they give you any (this is prob their opinon its not mine LOL)?
-
It is pretty frustrating when it seems the "free" offers have the hardest time getting credited, and FC does nothing about it. It would be nice if there were stats kept on these offers for % credited... so I wouldn't have to waste my time as often.
-
Yes, I have found that if you complete it all the way to the "silver" offers page AND leave the window open for at least 30-45 seconds, you will get credit for it.
-
I'm glad I read this thread. I was avoiding those offers but now I'm glad that you can stop at the offers page. That' why I used to avoid sites like these but Fusion Cash seems like a good site.
-
I've got hundreds of email offering for free but once u clicked on their sites theres a chat will pop up with agent sayin that they gonna give u discount those are all bull crap they think people are stupid unless retarded naybe :) ;D
-
Why cant people be straight forward. :BangHead: ???
-
Good information to just avoid that one! Thanks for all the updates.
-
its to get you to try and start on them but them the catch 22 comes to play lol
-
I also know that there are so many people who need money these days with the bad economy, that they will try anything to make some cash. Always read the fine print and keep the credit card locked up if you need to.
-
I think offer don't cost . That mean offer free. But you must fill your address, phone number (many informations can sell or trade :BangHead:) DANGER :angry7:
-
Why cant people be straight forward. :BangHead: ???
Because if they said... I just want to scam you... or use you... then you probably wouldn't want to have anything to do with them :) LOL It would be nice to live in a world of honesty... but if we did I think the suicide rate would jump... not to mention the crime rate.
-
yes sometimes they have cathes to them and when you decline them, there will be no credit for them on your account. I can usually discover within a minute or two if they are not free, I ex out and then go to try another.
Pays2Shop, for instance, requires the completion of a paid offer to qualify as do most of the offers listed as free. When I asked about this I was told that these offers only need to be completed til that point to qualify yet I have not received credit for any of these offers despite having filled out these offers to that point. I think these offers should not be in the free section. That is misleading.
:BangHead:
-
So I'm new to this and I'm a little skeptical of some of the offers! It just seems they all want us to buy something, but I'm doing this to get more money to pay bills that need to be paid or have some extra for little extras that come up. I don't have the extra money to buy into stuff. I see alot of you have made good money on here so far, how? Did you "buy" things or was is just filling out forms and the $3/month forums? Any advice would help me!!
-
This is my first post and my first time working with FusionCash. I am finding that I never get the "Congratulations" page you are talking about, even after I've done what it says I need to do (give them my email, etc.), and go through pages and pages of offers (some I completed, most I do not). Then I get to a page that is forcing me to complete an offer that requires "participation."
Is anyone else experiencing this? It never tells me "Congratulations" and I haven't gotten any credit.
Blessings,
Winki

The pages that say that are getting rare these days. Most of them just end on the platinum offers page now.
You need to click on 2-3 of the offers on those last pages(silver through platinum).
You also need to sign up for 1-2 offers before you reach sponsored offers(like beliefnet email, or freelfys, etc).

It's very helpful.

I've never bothered signing up for any and I get credited just fine. You open the window, wait for it to load, close the window.
For the ones that make you say "yes" to at least one offer before going on, pick one, then click "Skip" on the next page.
Of course, don't do the ones that give you credit cards or loans or whatever.
I haven't been doing as many as I should. December wasn't a good time for me. Personal issues on top of the holiday. Anyways, I still managed a little under $30 with only doing one offer a day and the daily click (that's what it equals out to, I did more than that in a day, but then skipped days).
-
I almost fell into a trap earlier this morning. I believe it was the Dunkin' Donuts offer. I almost filled out one of those offers until I realized that by doing so would be changing over my home telephone service to them. Thank God I didn't hit click or I would have gotten myself into a big mess. You need to be real careful.
-
I know I have seen the same thing. Like sometimes you have to go and subscribe to this witch costs money off to the side of the real service/ product.
-

:BangHead:
I TOTALLY AGREE!! Most likely that the reason they are listed in the FREE category, is that some people will go ahead and buy into whatever it is and FC will get more money, don't you think??
If you really want to know the truth about anything, FOLLOW THE MONEY TRAIL!!!
-
I understand that they are "Free" offers...but everytime I come to the end of one, it wants a credit card or a cell ph # for me to be charged for something. I don't have a cc or cell ph, so those don't do me any good. Some of the things I am interested in personally, but I don't think it is fair that I would have to have a cc or a cell ph to continue w/the offer.
-
I agreed... Im broke and just wanted to do something simple, but its kinda hard if i got to order stuff
-

thanks that realy helped i hope to take use of this site and that helped me ,and i see u are racking out the cash 300+ good job
-
Thanks for the tips on these offfers. I had started avoiding these like the plague! I'm going to go back and try a few tonight....letting the last page stay open for a while, like advised. Hoping that helps me get the FC credit! ;D

Again you do NOT know what you are talking about... Clicking through the last offers is all you actually have to do to get credit.... If you are not getting credit you are doing something wrong and need to read the crediting tips thread I posted here :
