Can you be too old for this offer?

I'm thinking, yeah. If you put in your age and it's over the limit, you're out. And since that's all they ask for is your date of birth, then yes, you can be too old for this offer.

It's a shame that they assume that people of a certain age would not be interested in their product.  :(  That may be true, but what if someone wants to buy something for their grandchildren?  :P


:fish:

I think it's another that you have to be a male as well

I am a male age 52 and I was screened out as not meeting the criteria that they were looking for.  The 2 cents would have been nice as I was only able to earn 3 cents on the other videos and had to go to radio loyalty to earn my 5 cents to qualify for the 15 cent Paid To Click.  It is a pain each day to qualify for the 15 cent Paid To Click but no sense crying better than other changes that could have been made.  I am trying to play catch up for having been away from FC for a couple of months.  FC is always best when you can spend an hour or two each day.

Yea it will not play for me either. Sometimes I will try to watch a video and it says age restricted but if I put a diff year it will play...not this one. Oh well. At least we have the hyprmx! Love those.

There must be something wrong with the video.. I am under 30 and male and same thing.  My wife tried on her account and even she was not the correct age?  what are they looking for 10 year olds?

Did anyone actually get it to work???  anyway we can find out what they are looking for?  I now have 2 adidas videos that I can not get to work..

I think these are messed up somehow. They say you are restricted for age/gender, but it doesn't ask for gender. I'm wondering if that missing factor makes everyone ineligible for this. Did anyone get credit?

I did it yesterday and it worked.  I did it today and it played but would not credit.

I couldn't get the adidas springblade to do anything the last few days says wrong age/gender but no gender question, so I am guessing somebody forgot the gender question?  A second Adidas video to day that played but never completed, tried in both ie and Firefox.

it would not let me do it either but the ones I did for 2 cents are not crediting anyway.

I think there is a problem with this one. Sometimes says age and gender?? but no option for gender. Gender? really?

I agree that it must be some kind of glitch that is causing everyone to DQ on this video.  Hopefully they'll get it resolved soon because the extra 2 cents is always welcome!   ;)

These restricted (by age and gender) video's are SO STUPID!! How am I not old/young enough to watch a shoe ad or a friggin' cooking video (LouAna Oils)?!...Last week they had an ad for a video game (I forgot the name of it) and they wouldn't let me see it because it was gender restricted. Well, isn't that...SEXIST? There are plenty of females who play video games (myself included) and get this...I looked up the game on Youtube because I was curious to see what it was about (since women aren't allowed to see it). IT HAD A FEMALE CHARACTER IN THE GAME!! So why was it gender restricted? It would make sense if they were actually gender specific ads like for tampons or men's impotent drug that starts with a "V" (Fusioncash bleeped out the name of the pill. Can you believe that?!) and age restrictions for rated R movies, but they aren't. They need to change that. It doesn't make a lick of sense.  >:(

I did some experimenting. I put down 1996 as my birth year and the video worked for me. Thing is the other Adias video you have to be born in the 70's for it to go through. I don't understand these ridiculous restrictions. There are people of all ages and genders that like adias shoes or cooking vidoes.

The trick to this video is you have to have the year 98  hope this helps!

There are a lot of them today that are doing this...I had 5 different 2c videos do this :(

I think this video was geared more toward men.  I think I had 3 or 4 videos in my list today that I couldn't complete because of the age/gender thing.  The Chips Ahoy video never credited for me and I tried it twice.  One of the HyperMX videos wouldn't work correctly and every time I got that one, I had to close the window and hope it would give me a different page.  For all the videos I had in my list today, I made one cent.

There are like five 2 cent videos today and I was only able to watch one. Three I wasn't accepted to watch and one didn't load. I'm a little annoyed by the age/gender videos. Why can't everyone just watch them?

The Chips Ahoy video did create for me, but I was age/gender-restricted out of all of the other 2-cent videos -- all of the adidas ads and the oils ad. (Luckily I qualified for a survey today.) But like some others have said, the age/gender restrictions don't make sense. I have a teenage boy I buy adidas stuff for, and I do more cooking than my wife.

I can't get the hypermax to work right either.

I got the same thing- that the video is for certain ages and genders. I guess you can screen out of the videos now too :(

I tried to change my birth year and it still wouldnt let me watch it.
