    Hi,

    I've found if I enter the same code two times, the second time it comes up 0 points. To save me wasted time I've noted the codes up to now.

    If it helps anyone else, here's the codes to date...

    AH1215P AV1185O AX1273P BN1449Z CA1715Q ER2391B FM2979U HB3450V NV5649O OJ6120D QF6709R RN7062F RT7180G SN7563D

    Goodness knows how many codes are out there between now and the comp end. We could waste alot of time over the weeks if we don't know the codes we've used (unless time shows we get points sometimes on repeats).

    i think there is a different code for each ad on each page therefore if we have found one between us for example on the msn beauty page it may be an idea to try another page as when i refresh on that same page i get the same code.

    Any thoughts?
  • I think you're right. I got back to WX8622W three times, same place.

    The ads are served via the MSN ad server, which passes the page code each time. However, I think it's totally random how/when the appear.

    That's how ad servers work.

    Although it's frustrating when you get 0 points, I have had points on a couple of the ones being posted where the OP says they got 0 points..if that makes sense :confused:

    yes however for their own marketing purposes it may be more advantageous that each code would represent a certain ad placement therefore making it easier for them to track where there adverts are most effective and allowing them to measure the success of the campaign... just a thought thats all.
  • Sorry, I didn't put it very well. I mean't, if I use a code once I get points, but if I enter that same code again I get 0. Someone else might get points from it, but again if they tried to use it a second time it would come up 0 the second time for them too.

    I think ......
