Full Version: Missing Credits
I follow the instructions carefully and end up with 1 or 2 missing credits on each sites. I even disable my AV and set my browser to accept all cookies putting myself in risk that my credit card info might be stolen and then end up with missing credits. What is funny is that the offers start charging money 1 second after I click "submit" and a couple of days later they charge again for their stupid autoship programs and lousy offers, while they "unfortunately miss" crediting the offer for "unknown reasons"!
Then comes the torturous MCR which also take forever as if they are verifying your life history to make sure you completed the offer. I can't believe how absurd this is...
Lately I had a similar problem with VBUX network who claim a 97% crediting of offers... Ironically, I had a missing credit and 2 of my referrals had the same problems although we followed the instructions on the website. I submitted a MCR ages ago and of course it has been ignored because it takes up to 30 years to be reviewed... I was forced to do another offer today and it did not credit although it is supposed to be an instant offer.
Bottom line: I just wish that freebie sites admit they are scamming their customers by "arranging" missing credits.
freebie sites have nothing to do with the crediting process.
i wish affiliates and advertisers were perfect in applying credit, but blame can't be placed on anyone in particular. and a very large percent of non-credits originate on the user end.
MCRs are awful, which is why my network does not deal with them for the minority of offers that still accept them. i wish everyone would jsut do away with them and be done with it (although, i hear Trainn can get them processed fairly quickly).
but to sum up, it's not VBux's fault. sometimes by coincidence several people in a row will have problems with a certai site, or one person will have a lot of problems with a certain site, but the vast majority of offers that are completed do go through successfully. i wouldn't doubt VBux's 97% crediting rate, because I believe ours is about the same (I don't come up with exact figures).

I don't care what they claim about their crediting rate. So far the crediting rate for me is 50% and this is after following all instructions on the website and compromising my personal information security while completing the offers.
I don't know how freebie sites handle MCRs but if the freebie site can detect my clicks and if I have confirmation emails and even credit card statements proving that I completed the offer I can't see why credits can be missed.
The only reason that missing credits occur and that MCRs take so long is that the user will be frustrated and end up completing more offers... I cannot express how bad I feel about this, and speaking of VBux network, I highly doubt that their crediting rate is close to 50%.
