A@ron Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 tickle can take awhile to credit because they are slow to verify with the site owner that it's been completed. Hang in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munky Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 mash - im in the same boat, waiting for bloody tickle. however, i've had to cancel the annual subscription to them (cos i dont really want it and time ran out), so i hope that doesnt affect the credit. if they ever complete, then thats another green for you, and $60 you'll be due me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swad Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 techound1 - Your paypal is on the way! munky - your money is sitting in my paypal account. Also, don't worry about canceling the Tickle thing - I canceled and still got credit, so it's no big deal. AndrewH - thanks for posting pictures of your iSight! I'm glad that others are being helped out by offers like this too! BTW - I'm going to recommend that everyone goes for the casino offers instead of the hosting. The hosting takes too long to credit and has had crediting issues in the past (ie, with me). The casino offers are great, however, because you get to keep the money you put in plus any you make. They're also adding more offers all the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amdprophet Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I'm still trying to find a way to pay online for the stuff. I have to verify my paypal account, but in order to do that I need to either add a credit card, debit card, or bank account to my paypal account. I'll try to get my bank account information to add it to paypal sometime later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kksurf Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Hi, I just completed the offers and got completion. I did the Complete Home and Netmarket offers from page 1 - both only took about 5 days to credit and it wasnt too hard to cancel. Then for page two did the PartyPoker offer - just deposited $50 then played a little bit, took about 1hr for them to credit my account. Once i had the credit i withdrew the rest of my money (will be a couple of days before it shows up in my bank account. On the whole my expereince was pretty good no hassle and didnt take long only had too make 2 phone calls Hope you get the mac Tomas p.s i gambeled about $25 if you want to pay me by paypal or if you could complet some offers for me that would be better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dponmac Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I just got a reply on my open ticket for ipower.com they said it would take up to 2 monthes for the offer to complete!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swad Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 dponmac - Yeah, 2 months is the worst case scenario - so far the people who have signed up with me have gotten confirmation in about 4 weeks, which is still a long time. Great news, though - There is a new Earthlink page 2 offer that is up now! Just sign up for the 10 dollar package and then cancel during the first month! It's instant credit and couldn't be easier!

munky Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Just a heads-up for anyone who visits the macs.free4me site and wonders if their account has been suspended... DONT PANIC! The whole site has been suspended - the 'account' mentioned is *their* hosting. They are working to resolve it right now.

Swad Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 Yup, they were getting so much traffic that they went over their bandwidth. They should be back up (with a larger hosting plan) today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swad Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 I guess it's really a good problem to have - more traffic means more people which means, in the end, better offers. The page 2 Earthlink offer is really great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swad Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 They're finally back up now, although instant crediting is an issue at the moment. You can still, however, go ahead and do the offers and they will get credited whenever the problem is fixed (probably really soon). I feel bad for Peter, the site owner - his host totally screwed him over on this one and he's still trying to get it fixed. But don't worry - if you want to, or have already done an offer, you'll get credit for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swad Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 6 Referrals done! I'm 55% of the way to getting it! Thanks to all who have helped... and to all who will help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munky Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Reply to my support ticket about the tickle offers I did: "On 04/22/06 user Customer Service wrote: Tickle is no longer giving manual credits. If it doesn't credit normally there is nothing we can do." Thats $10 down the drain then. My advice to anyone doing this is avoid the Tickle.com offers. This, IMHO, is not a reflection on the referrals site itself, as some offers are notoriously bad for crediting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denied Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Is there any time limit on how long you have to get the referrals? I did a free ipods one awhile ago (completed too, w00t), and I had thought they changed that offer to something like you had to get all your referrals within a month.

Swad Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 denied - I'm not aware of any time limit. Feel free to make a post in the anything4free forum about it (they're usually REALLY good about answering quickly!). munky - that sucks about tickle. Don't worry, though, I'll cover the 10 bucks. Tickle is just generally bad, I think, at working with referral sites. Like you said, this isn't a reflection on free4me - they're still great - but it's sad that Tickle won't work with people on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 3 no credit tickets and 1 support ticket request, all 4 weeks after signing up for ipower, my account is finally reading 100% for my offers, despite the support ticket talking about how i probobly have not done it properly the credit appeared in my account. Best of luck to you mashugly, i would be much obliged if you could paypal teh monays to my account now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swad Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 Adorettic, I've pmed you about the details! Thanks! BTW, for all you concerned about the "crediting issues" talk, here's what happens. You click on a link on the Free4Me site that takes you to another site where you sign up for an offer. Sometimes that other site is a little slow at actually giving you "credit" for signing up. It's easy to fix, though - all you have to do is submit a support ticket and have Free4Me contact the other site. You'll always still get your credit (although there may be a question of how good tickle is now?) so don't worry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldimeneira Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I hate referrals with all my "flamming passion". Couldn't you just get a Mac Mini? Wait for refurbished/used Intel Macs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
