I signed up under your code, jough.  I think.  I'm not sure I did it right.

How many more do you need?

I have lots of signups, but only 6 of them have completed their requirement.

If you've signed up for something and haven't gotten credit for it yet, and it's been more than 15 days, you should contact them.  I threatened to cancel my signup and they credited me a couple days later.

Jesus, jough, don't you recognize a Ponzi scheme when you see one?

Yeah, well, usually I avoid these things like muslims avoid pork, but I personally know four people that got free mac minis out of this deal.

So I'll throw a link up and let it happen, you know?

Can you tell if the signup I did counts toward your total?  What info would you need?

Weird.  Null, yours says:

Joined, but offer not completed.
User did not join via referral link.

Then if you didn't sign up via my referral link why does your email address show up in my list?

WTF?

Or does that mean that you didn't complete an offer using the referral link?

I don't know.  I'd contact them to get proper credit.

Jough, you should get full credit for me signing up to the Columbia House DVD thing.   Let me know if there's anything I can do here.

...other than signing up again.  Good lord, what an ultra-suck selection of DVDs.  By which I mean lame, not that they feature oral sex.

Could be, could be.  We'll have to tune in tomorrow for the next exciting chapter.

NEXT CHAPTER:  Null got out of the car before it exploded and flew off the cliff.  Cheat value:  1.

Hey Null, there's a button that says "Quote." You don't have to copy/paste/italicize text; in fact, it generates better HTML than that.

Hey, I built a pretty decent dvd collection from CH.  There's no shame in paying an average of $7 a disc rather than $20.

Anyway, I have no idea what that message means, but check to see whether your account says that you've completed an offer.

Like I said, I have no idea why it would tell me that you didn't use my referral link and then show you in my list of referrerals anyway.

It just don't add up.

This is their explanation.  It doesn't make any sense to me either, but it confirms that I won't get credit for your signup:

That can't be right.  I signed up right through the link on your first message, and didn't kill the browser or anything like that.  If it didn't go through under your code, there's something wrong with the way they're recording these things.

They should credit you for this, bottom line.

Yeah, fun fun fun.

Well, this is the first and last time I'll deal with the Gratis network.  Lesson learned.

I have heard from people that referrals don't go through if people use Firefox, but then again, why does an email address show up in my account as a referral if they're telling me that I'm not getting credit for it because they didn't use my referral link.

It makes no sense.

Null, I'd write them saying that you want to be credited, otherwise you'll have to cancel your CH membership.
