Title: Scraping the bottom of the barrel...
Post by: thoughtparticles on October 29, 2016, 06:21:15 am
I couldn't even get a single cent toward my PTC yesterday, I tried several offers but not a single one credited. Is anyone having this much of a struggle with FC lately?

P.S. It's starting again today, I can't even get the RA quiz "video" to credit and that one ALWAYS works.

I have very slim pickins in the way of videos and especially ones that work and credit.  Really it has been this way for some time it just wasn't a problem as I had the daily .35 from Hipmunk which seem to have had it's run.  The only videos that are doing anything for me are the half cent videos.  I do keep the Hopster coupons as my rainy day emergency, but since they add new ones so slowly I cant use even 1 daily but I save them up.

I actually scraped together my .05¢ via the half cent videos. They're usually hit-or-miss in terms of crediting for me, but today they worked quickly! Hipmunk was my main earner, I'm rarely qualified for surveys, so I feel the crunch when .35¢ is snatched from me. Hopster is a bit iffy, too. But I can occasionally get my .20¢ from them... maybe I'll try it again today.

The hypermx videos always work for me when I'm in a pickle to get the 5 cents. Maybe you should try those.

Here it is gin t the end of the month and struggling with getting my forum post in, I sometimes don't understand why I struggle so much.

Actully I was thinking, I find it difficult to complete my post because of my busy schedule during the week.  The weekend is a time to sit down and reax instead I work hard at tying up loose ends.

No problem getting the 5 cents for me, I just keep trying until it pays off.

As usual, it seems like a mix of folks the videos are and aren't working for. I've always been curious how that works! ??? But there is some consolation in the fact I'm not alone in my struggles. I finally got my .05¢ for the PTC yesterday and today's was taken care of via Hopster. Hopefully Hipmunk makes a reappearance in November!

I have had a bad month and have not had luck with videos or surveys.  Well, hopefully next month will be better for us!

I think I only missed getting the 5 cents to do my ptc once and that was because I was barely home for a couple days. There are so many options on the site that if one thing isn't working there are other ways. I usually just do surveys. If I can't get a survey I can always get a task. I've probably earned less than 10 cents with videos in the 5 years I've been a member

Just an update on my "progress" this past week, I got my "statement" email a few minutes ago:

Total for Oct 24th to Oct 30th: $2.56 in 43 credits.

That was one rough week...

No problems here maybe you should try another browser like Firefox :highfive: 8)

I just keep trying in the time I have available and then throughout the day but always get the 5 without much worry.

I am most certainly experiencing the same issue as the OP. I just completed the $0.04 Pokemon quiz (TWICE!) and still nothing. Very aggravating, indeed.

This morning all I have for videos are quizzes I have completed several times before and never credited or one that did actually credit.  And Hyprmx with a 5+ min Jimmy Johnson video,  Not doing that 5 times.  So only answer is Hopster, just cant do that daily or it will run out.  I so miss my Hipmunk, the last 3 or 4 months have been a dream with it.

I had one hyprmx video. I watched it and now it is gone. Yesterday I managed to scrape together $0.02, so with today's video, I'm still $0.02 short of being able to do today's PTC.  :/

I use two browsers for FC and my other survey sites, some features work better on one browser and all... but still, I'm struggling to get my daily nickel!

So at least you can do the PTC every couple of days

yeah, it can be "work" to get that 5 cents credit. Right now, 2:00 AM EST, there's a TRIVAGO 2 cent easy video....It credits almost instantly. You may have to click "Account" to see the credit. Refreshing the page doesn't always keep up with an immediate addition of points.

It seems the video earnings have slowed down a tremendous amount... I would make at most 25 cents a day from them.

Post by: squirrelgirl44 on November 03, 2016, 02:22:21 pm
Very few videos. I also took and supposedly completed for credit 2 75c videos... but those never credited. I did hit my 5c for the day though.

The usual, reliable videos have not been as reliable as I have become used to.  Again, not all of the videos work out for me but I do have those that I have had much success with.

That being the case, I have turned to the survey page, which I normally do anyway, and have been able to complete as many as my time will allow. 

Try mixing things up a bit.  Some members do well with tasks.  Maybe you could give those a try if you are not already doing so.

This thread conjures up the voice of my grandmother, whose perpetual advice was, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!"  Yes, getting the $.05 qualification can be a challenge, but I don't think I've ever missed finding enough.  You just have to go to all the places that offer money here, and eventually something will pay off.  My "go to" is RadioLoyalty.  It can be cantankerous, but I can usually make a few cents daily.  I'm also pleased with the number of surveys offered lately, and they offer new ones all during the day.  I'm trying to do at least one survey a day, and I've found it's possible, if I follow my grandmother's advice.

Well, thank goodness for "Watch This Video" and "Hyprmx."  I still have them and they are crediting continuously, well over 5 cents.  What's going on with Fusion?  It's not the first of the year and even then I have always been able to get at least a nickel!  It hurts when this income, however meager, is impacted if it is badly needed.

I just keep getting "no more offers" or whatever wording they give when I click on those. I've been having to make do with random half cent videos!

I did quite a few of the half cent videos, but no credits. I got one hypr mx. This is the worst earning day I've had.  :/

I'm stalling out at .04¢ and that's with me doing my "last resort" offers, the "best mobile deals" and "best video game" slideshows. I think they take too long, so I only ever do them if I'm in a bind... which was today.

I have had no luck with these the last couple of days,  they had been my mainstay after Hipmunk left.  I have a 2 cent Trivago but it goes to all sorts of other thing besides what it is suppose to.  I have gotten nothing from videos the last couple of days.  I have resorted to 3 Hopster coupons for 6 cents,  the problem is they don't add new ones constantly and they will run out.  So I really hope we get some working/crediting videos soon!
