Crediting--How Can I Make Sure?

Offers not crediting is the single biggest problem you face in the freebie trading business. Following the steps below will ensure you are doing everything you can to get the credit you deserve. The rest depends on the offer itself and the freebie site. Sometimes, no matter what you do, the offer just doesn’t credit. Follow the instructions below and keep your fingers crossed….

1. Turn off any firewalls, anti-virus, or spyware programs before completing an offer. There are instances in which these programs interfere with the tracking.

2. Disable all pop-up blockers

Internet Explorer

• On the top of the browser, click on "Tools" and then "Internet Options."
• A new window should pop up.
• Click the "Privacy" tab and uncheck the "Block pop-ups box (if it is checked), and then click "OK."

Mozilla Firefox

• On the top of the browser, click on "Tools" and then "Options."
• A new window should pop up. Click the "Content" tab and uncheck the "Block pop-ups box (if it is checked), and then click "OK."

Also, check any toolbar add-ons you may have downloaded like google, yahoo, etc. that may have pop-up blockers included.

3. Accept all cookies

4. Clear your cookies and cache before completing offers

Internet Explorer

• On the top of the browser, click on "Tools" and then "Delete Browsing History." Click "Delete All."

• Complete the offer until you reach the confirmation/completion page (unless stated otherwise in the requirements), and when you are on the confirmation/completion page, STAY on the confirmation/completion page for at least 5 minutes before closing the page.

Internet Explorer is the recommended browser to complete offers as it is more reliable in terms of tracking. Nevertheless, do not use any browser other than IE or Firefox.(b).
