    When offers don't track it's not very often the cashback sites fault, usually it's because the network or merchant is unhappy with some of the info or are dodgy themselves :(

    The merchants have become a lot stricter and the technology a lot better, most of the offers need different but genuine details each time the offer is done, name, address, telephone, email etc but also in some cases different IP addresses (your computers identity No.) If any of the info has been used before to do the offer the merchant calls it "fraud"

    My advice would be to try different ways to see what works for you, including changing your IP address (by switching your router off and on if you have a dynamic IP, ie one that changes)

    hth :)

    PS, I'm glad everything turned out well for you in the end littlesusie :T

    Fly.com's been added too
    Strictly one transaction per member per day




    I just read the comment on iMutual's forum "Let's hope this is not another liligo" which prompted me to look at how far back Fly & Whichbudget go on Fatcheese (where I think they appeared first). The former seems to go unpaid back to October, the latter to November, when I assumed FC added them. So, hmmm :think: :think: I hope they aren't going to 'do a Liligo'. At least with sites like eCasher we know they confirm them quickly!

    I stopped doing Quidscorner as a lot just didn't track for me!!!

    There are many no spends on Quids Corner that dont appear on any other Cashback Site and dont track whatever details are given. :)

    There are some no spends on Quids Corner that are on other Cashback Sites which will track either once or more than once both on Quids Corner and on other Cashback Sites with whatever details are given. :)

    Some offers get blocked from tracking where the same username/IP has already done the offer more times than the merchant wishes for it to be done, sadlly many offers on Quids Corner dont track even if the offer has never been done before, whilst the same can be said of other Cashback Sites as can be seen very little non tracking feedback gets given on Q.C forum http://www.quidscorner.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=7 so such non tracking offers arent quickly removed.

    False/Fraud details given as mentioned in a later posting are more likely to lead to mass payment rejections rather than non tracking being as many transactions now track from the network within 10 minutes, as Quids Corner make tracked transactions payable immediately subject to 5.00 cash-ins any such payment rejections would only affect the site financially with members losing out if the merchant is removed.

    I have just read this which evidences that no spends do track whatever information is given and may then reject and/or be removed from the site if found to be fraudulent.

    Also, while I'm on, the following Surveys have been removed due to a high level of fraudulent clicks, it looks highly likely that the network will refuse to pay for any of the surveys done in March. As soon as I have more information on this I will let you know.
    • Win a £10,000 shopping spree at M+S

    Can someone who switches their router off to gain a new IP address please post on here to say whether all of the IP address changes or whether only some of the IP address changes being as it is the early IP digits that have the greatest significance to merchants and networks.

    On a positive note Liligo is still being paid on Quanti and Whichbudget is going straight to validated on Quidco.

    On the strength of that at least they arnt another bunch of kayaks

    TheMoneyBackSite has a “clicked out” facility which shows all clicks done from a logged in account, but not all cashback sites have this and they need reports from the network stating which transactions have “tracked” before they can “update” :)


    More info on this can be found here (On Transactions Status tab)

    or in the last post on this page:

    I think mine changes the end digits more often than the beginning of the ip addy

    Just tested mine:- The 1st two digits remained the same, but the 3 following sets of numbers all changed.

    On the subject of IP addresses I have found this:

    Quote

    "Dynamic IP Addresses ....they then assign your computer a dynamic IP address from the pool of temporary IP addresses they use for this purpose. For the duration of your Internet session your computer is identified by this IP address and then when you disconnect from the Internet the address goes back into the pool to be used by someone else. Your chances of getting the same dynamic IP address back again are low."

    http://www.spamlaws.com/ip.html

    It's worth noting that although they say it's unlikely you would get the same address it's not impossible, and it's also possible that someone who had that IP before could have used it to do some offers or competitions :(
