My husband and I are forcing ourselves to ONLY watch ONE episode per night on Season Two, no matter what.

When we started watching Season One, we just blew through it so fast. We finished the entire thing in a weekend.

It is such a fantastic show.

I like whoever designed the surveys on that site. They are fast and easy to go through.

Hi, it could be a few things.

For most people, it's that the credits expire after 180 days, but I see you're a new member so that wouldn't apply to you.

Sometimes very rarely, advertisers don't pay FC, which in turn means they can't pay either. So these credits get reversed.

Another thing is if a referral wasn't valid. If you have your referral link posted online, we really don't have control over the people who sign up under us, and every now and then one of them won't be a valid referral. So these referral credits get reversed. These things are rare but they do happen from time to time.

The easiest way to see what's causing the missing credits is to go to your account page, and do a search for the word "Denied"  That will show you which credits reversed.

If you have any questions about the actual reversed credits, you can open a support ticket and they'll let you know more details.

Hope this helps!

Five inches yesterday, and seven more predicted for today. The roads aren't drivable at all where I am in WV. I am so done with this winter.

My husband and I were in New Jersey the past few days for a conference he needed to attend for work. We got stuck there an extra day, because the roads iced up on the way home. We were so close to home, only one more hour, but we had to pull off and find a hotel because it was just too dangerous to drive any longer.

Off-Topic / Re: Do You Have Cable TV?

« on: January 31, 2014, 03:47:53 am »Message ID: 845323

I would LOVE to drop cable. We never watch TV any longer.  We're always on Netflix.

Where we are, there is only one provider, and you have to have cable to get internet, so it's frustrating to me. If we could drop the cable part entirely and just have internet, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

The only problem is we're mountain people too, like someone else mentioned in this thread, so there are just no other options for internet... other than dial-up (yikes)

Off-Topic / Re: Coffee Offer

« on: January 31, 2014, 03:39:37 am »Message ID: 845320

I like coffee this might be a good offer.  Does it require a credit card?  Do they let you pick your own coffee like flavors or ground or beans?

Yes, I keep a prepaid MasterCard that I use for doing these 'free with shipping' type offers. It was $2.95 for the shipping to get the coffee and scoop. You're allowed to choose either ground or beans, and there were four different strengths of coffee to choose from.

So the way I see it, I got free coffee, a free coffee scoop, and $1.05

That offer credited for me immediately. I joined it in December, and just received my first cashout from them. If you haven't signed up yet for this offer and it's still available, definitely check it out!

I remember people talking about this offer last year, but I was on the fence about it and never signed up.  Glad I caught it this time!

I've had survey awards denied several times in the past to me since joining, BUT I've done countless surveys here that have all paid, and all of those denials are spread out since I joined in 2010, so it is a very tiny percentage over the years.   

I do get irritated when it happens, because I know I don't do surveys that I'm not qualified for, I give good marketing data, and I don't rush. Sometimes I think maybe it's because these surveys are distributed through so many different affiliates, I may have taken a same or similar survey at another GPT site, and that's why they can't use my data.

In the end though, it's not the end of the world, because it is only a tiny percentage over the years of the surveys I've done here.

I never had a cashout denied, but I try to give myself a buffer over the $15 minimum in offers. However, the last time I had a survey denied, I was at $16 in offers, but had a $1.70 survey revoke which put me under the $15 minimum. I just cancelled the cashout request, waited until I had $17 in offers, and then resubmitted.

Because the surveys tend to pay more now than they did in the past, I think I'm going to keep doing $17 in offers before I cashout now, just to be on the safe side

Off-Topic / Re: Just got our electric bill today

Believe it or not, budget billing helps smooth out the rough spots with your heating and cooling. When they level it out, it's not such a huge jolt during the bad periods of extreme hot or cold.

Just a thought. I like it better than getting than getting those crazy high bills. 

Yes - this!

We don't do balanced billing through our utilities, but I do that myself by setting aside the average heating payment over 12 months in a budget. Our home is gas heated, and January through April are crazy high months.

But what I do is I have an average set aside that I budget, and in the warmer months when the heat is smaller, I 'bucket' that money and set it aside. That way once January rolls around, I've got a few extra hundred in my gas 'bucket' to pay the extra over my average.

I do have to say though that January 2014's gas bill was a whopping $50 higher than the January 2013 gas bill. I've got on thermals, two layers of sweat pants, turtle neck sweaters, hoodies, and a sweater on top of all of that, and I'm still freezing here!
