Completing Free Offers FAQ
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010
1. I’ve been doing offers on the referral sites, and my account is not being credited. What can I do about this?
Unfortunately this is a common occurrence on the reward sites. The best thing you can do after completing every offer is to clear your cookies. This effectively deletes your browsing history, which helps your offers to get credited. Please check which browser you have below, and follow the instructions.
- Internet Explorer 6 : Click on “Tools” at the top of the screen, then click on “Internet Options” in the drop down box. Look for a “Delete Cookies…” button near the middle of the next window, and click it. Click “OK” on the pop up box. Once you have done that you can go back to the reward site and complete another offer.
- Internet Explorer 8 : Click on “Tools” near the top right of the screen, then click on “Internet Options” in the drop down box. Look for a “Delete” button near the middle of the next window, and click it. make sure the four top boxes are ticket, then click “Delete”. Once you have done that you can go back to the reward site and complete another offer.
- Firefox 3.x :Click on “Tools” at the top of the browser, then click on “Clear Recent History…” in the drop down menu. You can select the time range, and this will depend on how long the previous reward took you to complete. Click “Clear Now”, and then you can go onto the next offer.
- Opera 9 & 10 : Click on “Tools” at the top of the screen, then click on “Delete Private Data” in the drop down box. Click the “Delete” button on the next menu. Once you have done that you can go back to the reward site and complete another offer.
2. The offers on the reward sites take so long to complete. Isn’t there an easier way to do them?
Yes there is, although I am not 100% sure if this method is approved or not by the reward sites. As far as I am aware, there is no way to tell if a person is using automated software or not.
Download and install Roboform on your computer. This is a automated form filling software, which will fill in all your personal details at the click of a button. It greatly speeds up the process of doing reward offers.
Roboform works with Internet Explorer and Firefox. It does not currently support Opera or Google Chrome. All it does is install a toolbar in your webbrowser, and when you come to a form that requires your personal details, you click your roboform button, and it does it for you. Very nifty!
You will of course have to fill in your personal details when setting up the program, but this is a once off thing.
You can find the program here.
3. When doing a offer, I have the option of signing up, or skipping them. Must I sign up for every single offer for my account to be credited?
No, certainly not. Generally the way the offers work is like this: you get a startup page (which you must complete), then you get x amount of “additional” offer pages. You do not have to sign up for any of the additional offers, though i generally do 1 or 2 to be on the safe side. Normally the is a “skip” or “not thanks” button at the very bottom right of the page.
