The Crediting Twilight Zone

In this third installment of issues with GPT, I will address the confirmation rate. This relates to the length of time it takes offers to be confirmed or denied after they have been completed. This is one of those thorny issues since the two parties both have to do their parts in order for payment to be made.

Why does it take one site days to credit an offer and another site minutes or a few hours? I will not speculate on the answer because I do not know enough about the business to be balanced. I will say that there are elements of offer crediting that those of us who do the offers need to make sure we have in place before we look suspect at the site. See Why Offers Don't Confirm and Quick Start Guide.

The sites that have been the quickest for me are CashCrate, ShellCash, DealsBarbiePaysFast, Cashlagoon, and GreedyClicks. Others have done a good job as well, but these are at the top of my list. I have done offers on Cashlagoon that have credited before I returned to the Offer page. Cashcrate has historically credited offers in 2 hours or less but will sometimes take as long as 24 hours. I am cool with these timeframes, but I get jittery when an offer has not credited after 48 hours.

I am still waiting for some offers that I have done to confirm. One site I frequent has this on some of its offers, "Please allow one week for crediting, usually credits immediately." Then there is the site that says, "Do not contact our affiliates because all crediting is done by the site." Yet in another place it says, "When our partners have determined that you have fulfilled their requirements, we will credit your account." Enter the "Crediting Twilight Zone."

The best I can say to you is to be patient. Set a comfortable timeframe for yourself and if the offers have not credited by then, redo them. Most sites allow you to do offers over, but be aware that some do not. In all cases, remember that you will win more than you lose if you keep on completing offers.
