Thrifty Gifty - Money Making for Christmas & All Ocassions 2009

Comments

  • Just seems very very strange that the only people that are having any problems with their redeems are thrifty gifters.
    Now to me that says something isnt quite right ! Not sure that i like being spied on by anyone. I mean i dont mind friendly stalkers that know how to get hold of me at anytime but surely whoever isnt really being 'above board' by doing this.
    Surely they cant want to get rid of us because we are actually friends..
    and here was me saying about what a great site bingoports was.
    Its such a shame that even after 24 hours they havent bothered to reply to any emails. Yes whilst we understand about terms and conditions .None have been broken. All we are wanting to know is what we are suppossed to of done lol. The chat monitors on bingoports just say to contact Karen but Karen doesnt/hasnt contacted us back... Its so flustrating

    Well I joined Bingoports months ago and wasnt referred by anyone else and hadnt referred anyone either until Wednesday when I referred my daughter. I dont use this name on there but have mentioned the one I use in my posts on here. I replied to your post on there furry and saw that its only our little lot who seem to be in trouble so the only connection is this thread.

    i wasnt referred by anyone. but just because we post on thrifty doesnt mean we have broken any rules thats ridiculous if thats the reason for us being banned from redeems.

    the night before i couldnt even post though, so they fixed that. But whats the point them allowing us to post and still play bingo if they are restricted our accounts so we cant redeem anything?

    i think it has something to do with us all referring someone in out household. didnt you girlies say that you had referred your partners? and i referred my brother but i swear we are allowed to have another person in your household open an account.

    Focus888 my account was exactly the same, i couldnt even post either.

    We are doing nothing wrong by referring our other halves.Not according to bingoports web site,even of this morning

    Q.What if there is more than one person that plays at Bport in my household
    A. With the increased accessibility of BingoPort.co.uk for members it is now possible for households with multiple family members to all set up their own BingoPort accounts.
    For this to be possible, each member who sets up their account must verify their mobile and e-mail address to allow other members in your household to register.
    If your details are not confirmed, other members within your house will be faced with the standard user access restrictions.
    Above was taken off bingoports site.Also after re reading Jammys post #556 on this thread
    I would be more than happy for hubby and myself to receive a phone call from bports to confirm any details over the phone.I can even provide them with mobile phone bills that have our corresponding mobile numbers with our names on. It just gets to me that they have put this ban on on the assumption that we have broken rules.They have made no attempt to contact either hubby or myself. No phone calls or emails received.So they are just banning people on their thoughts not actual proof. Makes me think bingoport isnt as fab and friendly as we have been painting it to be.

    As it has been said our only connection as a group that has been targetted is this thread.

    Someone on furrypigs thread did raise an interesting point. They thought that we were all a group of friends that lived very close.So could of been sharing computer.... Now whilst it would be great fun to live close to some of my fellow thrifty gifters,unfortunately i dont :( It would be great fun if we did. Cue mad craft parties and lots of tea or wine on fridays ;)
    Again this comes back to the only link being this thread.

    The refferal link seems to of drew a blank then,since some wasnt reffered or reffered anyone. Again only link would be this thread. Partners etc have been sifted out through this site or so it appears.

    Shame bingoports cant put their enegy into answering emails as they seem to have enough to sift through lots of posts and take time to write about us all lol. Such a shame. I think some of us should of been given extra points for singing their praises on here ;) As you can no doubt guess i still havent received an answer to my email that was sent over 36 hours ago. My redeem status is still that i need to verify my phone number and i still get the error message :(

    Yes I still get an error message too choccy, I love playing bingo and thought it was great to play for points instead of paying for the cash bingo sites but theres no fun in playing if you cant do anything with the points. I know loads of people who were interested in joining after I had been telling them all about how good it is and after I referred my daughter and got the points for it I was ready to refer more but wont bother now. We had both verified our emails and phone numbers, I had verified mine months ago as I joined back on the 1st of Feb and have played practically everyday since then.

    well conspiracy theories aside .....
    either bingoport have linked us all from here and banned us for some very unclear reason
    or someone from MSE has contacted bingoport and told them about us!!

    That is the only thing that makes sense to me now after 24 hours of posting and thinking about it!!

  • :mad: This is really stressing me

    Furrypig posted a message to kaz on bp

    Someone put... you need to be in uk to redeem points.
    I posted i am in Nottingham.Others in Surrey we are all over UK.
    Next post underneath says ..... You need to be in UK to redeem could that be the problem ?

    :rotfl:Now i didnt take geography at school. But i am sure that Nottingham and Surrey are both in uk !!! :rotfl:

    How comes we get banned from redeeming.When its obvious these people arent even reading posts !!! They are just posting for points not anything else..

    That must of been where we were going wrong !! :rolleyes: We actually reply to questions and comments.

    Hiya! Back off my hols :( I'm not even that tanned, OH wouldn't let me sit and sunbathe all day because he finds it boring :rolleyes: Had a great time though and OH and I seem to be happy and loved up again so i'm really happy :) (we'd been arguing LOADS before we went away)

    Just been catching up, can't believe you're all banned from BP!! I've just checked mine, I can post and my phone numbers verified. I have a different name on BP and I haven't been on it for over a week so maybe that's why I haven't been affected?

    It's so bad that they haven't got back to you. Ignorant so and so's! It's all very strange but does seem like it's connected to MSE. :confused:

    Is there a bingo port thread anywhere else on MSE that you could post on? To see if anybody outside of this thread has been blocked too?

    ETA - Do you think this might be something to do with the bingo port challenge? Maybe they don't want us all to make £75/£100 between now and christmas? Just a thought :)
    :heart: Think happy & you'll be happy :heart:
    I :heart2: my doggies
