My apologies if this suggestion has been brought up, or if this is already implemented, but perhaps a a good implementation to Fusioncash can be to email member's where their credits are close to expiring after 180?
I mean, it sure beats logging on to see that you've lost money, no?
-
Not a bad idea, especially for new members who are not familiar with the 180 rule.
I suspect most members, who are active, are very much aware of the 180 rule and are cashing out well within the 180 day time frame.
Probably would need to do it 30 days before the end of the 180 day period to give a person a chance to bring their total up to $25.00 and/or initiate their cash out.

Yeah this sounds like a good idea. Could be alot of work but if FC could somehow automate it to send out an email at the end of the month or something then that would give people plenty of time ( like 4 or 5 updates) before there credits started to expire. It would be a friendly courteous reminder and could be a great thing to help referrals to stay active. Maybe ask permission when people sign up or give them an option to opt out then or at some point also. :thumbsup:

I like this idea as well, I try to keep track, but sometimes can't tell.

It's not feasible to send an email for each of the thousands upon thousands of bonuses and offer credits that expire. What happens is, some people mark the email as 'spam' - and then you can't get other important emails from us, like your account confirmation, cashout confirmation, or offer crediting notices. We are sending out the maximum number of emails that we reasonably can with our current infrastructure.
-
Yes the automated system would be simple to do because all you have to do is download a program to do it for you. But like the admin said, most people have Fusioncash marked as spam so there would be 1000000000 other posts like this one popping up daily. People simply need to read the rules and fallow them. What i would suggest is possibly change the credited offers to have a count down? Maybe like "MySurvey (60 days left)" or something so it tells you how long you have left before they expire. I had only 1 offer expire on my but it was for $1.75 which is a lot of dailys in my opinion. Just an opinion on my behalf. Thanks

If I understand the request, there should be just a new column added that adds 180 days to the moment it was completed, labeled as "Expire Date". THAT would be easy.
Otherwise, just do the math. Approximately 6 months out from when you completed it. Done and happy.

I have been on Fusioncash about two years and NEVER had anything expire. It's not that hard to cashout in 90 days and you have another 90 days as a cushion. Put the responsibility where it belongs, on US.

I like things the way they are - i always say "if it is not broke, do not fix it".......I think FC has a proper handle on things. :wave:

Not a bad idea, especially for new members who are not familiar with the 180 rule.
If they read the Terms of Service when signing up like they are supposed to, they would know about the 180 day rule before even diving in.
The concept of some type of notice about expiring offers isn't bad, but I agree e-mails wouldn't be the way to go. If anything, maybe something could be implemented on the section for 'Offers credited to your account'. Maybe add a list to the right of the 'Status' column called 'Days to Expiration' and have a countdown from 180 next to each offer. Once the countdown reaches 30 or 14 or whatever amount of days on the offer, the text could appear in red or something eye-catching, highlighting the warning of it soon expiring.
Or, maybe just some box in the account page named something like "Soon to Expire Offers", where offers within a designated amount of days of expiring show up in it with how many days until they expire listed next to each one.
I've never had a problem with this issue. However, for those who have, I could see this being at least a bit useful. If you complete an offer today, March 13th, it doesn't expire September 13th. At first thought it would. But, 180 days later would be September 9th. I can see how that could catch some off guard.
-
I have known about the 180 day rule since I signed up, actually I marked it on my calender so I would not forget. It is easier for us each to write it down or even create one of those countdown things you can have online that tell you how many days you left until your 180 days are up!

Im sorry im new what is the 180 day thing you are talking about. is it that all the money you have earned turns to nothing after that time

Almost correct from my understanding, they expire after 180 days in the order you completed them, not all at once. I have never had one expire in the 2 1/2 years I have been here, so I can't say from personal experience.

Thanks for the info I have joined two days ago. This info really helps me a lot
-
also helped me, I didnt even know about it :dontknow:

Like OldBuddy stated, it's fairly easy to get the required amount in 90 days, as long as you are active each of those days and complete all of the bonuses. Here's the math (please note that all amounts are based on what is possible today, although these could change in the future):
90-days x $0.15 per Daily Clicks = $13.50
90-days x $0.02 per Daily Email = $1.80
$13.50-Clicks + $1.80-Emails = $15.30 for offers which is greater than the $15 minimum needed to cashout. Now for bonuses:
3-months (about 90-days) forum posts x $3 per month = $9
For new members: $5 startup bonus
For old members: $1 payment proof bonus
So, for new members, bonuses= $9-forum bonus + $5-startup bonus = $14-bonus or $29.30 in offers and bonuses in about 90 days
Or for old members, bonuses = only $10 and they'll have $25.30 total (again over the $25 threshold).
Some shrewd person may note that the forum bonuses are paid the month following that when the posts were made (eg I got my January bonus in late February). But it would still work because the startup bonus is $5 so new members could cashout at the end of the 3rd months (90-days) after their 2nd forum bonus was credited (getting only $26.30 instead). Then for the next cashout, the forum bonus for the 3rd month would get credited in the 4th month (the first 30-days for the next payout), 4th gets credit in the 5th, and 5th in the 6th (or after 90-days) which accounts for the 3 months of forum bonuses necessary for the old member to get enough to cashout.
And note that this is all done without any other bonuses or offers, which again are fairly easy to find in FC... Newbies should check out the Contests and Promotions page in the forums to see some of the other bonuses they can earn. Daily surveys are also a great way to earn a little. And I haven't even mentioned anything about what can be earned with referrals!
So maybe it would be nice to have some 180-day warning system, but I suspect that if someone isn't being diligent on working with FC, they may not even notice the warnings were they even implemented. And conversely, if they are diligent, then they'll probably cashout before the 180-days is up.
-
Maybe if where the credited offer, or at the top of the page, it showed something like X AMOUNT OF COMPLETED OFFERS ARE ABOUT TO EXPIRE would help people. I usually cash out when I hit the $25-30 mark to not have to worry about them expiring.

Im glad i saw this, and i agree, if they sent out some notifications then im sure people would be alot happier.
-
all u have to do is look on ur account page and see when the last time u cashed out or the 1st offer u did and then count 6 months. example i cashed out in november so it's been 4 months for me. Im gonna cash out this month but technically i have at least 2 months left. :thumbsup:
-
I just added a warning in red to your completed offers list. If the completion is going to expire in 30 days or less, it will tell you how many days you have to cashout that completion.

Thank you! :)
-
thanks for the tip
-
I might be coming up on that 180 day thing because I've been slacking on fusion cash lately. A message would be nice
-

Again FC listens and dishes....thanks so much for being so awesome. This will help me keep track of my offers expiration date. Your the best.

Again FC listens and dishes...thanks for adding this warning to the completed offers. It will help me keep track of my offers so that I know when they expire. You guys are awesome.

I know you guys only see what is posted here, but I just want to give a big THANK YOU to the Admin. Where else can you go where the Admin (and staff) listen and take your suggestions into consideration? We work hard to make this a better place and I think we do a pretty good job! :thumbsup:
-
Another fantastic improvement by FC. You guys are the awesomest !
-
I agree, having our money disappear would be aweful. Especially when it is hard to get the offers to credit
-
I guess It's not a bad Idea.
I've never had a problem keep track though.
-
just log in once a week for a half an hour an its all good :icon_rr:
-
I thought this idea was a really good one and it really did boost my confidence in using this site seeing an admin posting here that they listened to the suggestion. To me, this means that FC really does care about their members.
-
Thank you for informing me. I was not even aware that credits could expire. A 180-day warning would be helpful. Here's another idea: if credits are getting close to expiring, why not email the warning and then, if the account remains totally inactive, email the check and cancel the account? I do not believe that it is fair not to pay out profits that have already be earned, however, inactive accounts could be eliminated in the matter previously mentioned to prevent account holders from remaining inactive for an extended period of time.

As I explained earlier in the thread, sending an automated email is not feasible with our current infrastructure.
Also, as far as automatically cashing you out, that is also not possible given the way that our system is setup (cashouts must be initiated by the end user)
-
can anyone tell me if this applies to dailies?? just asking
-
I agree...even if it's just like 1 or 2 days before...
-
that is a good idea that way members dont lose out on getting there money
-
Thanks for the good info.
-
Idk about that
-
I think this is a good idea too. And I really don't think it would be that hard for FC to start.
-
if you cant get enough to cash out everycouple of months something is wrong with you.
