Free offers are not always free

I know I was sort of rambling, but hopefully it got the point across

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.

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...

[slim28]

i agree

If you do a free offer and dont get credit can you try it again please help

"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.

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.
