Hello Gladiator and fellow Traders,

I'm a Newbie and started my first trade today. I didn't get credit for the 1st offer Completed, which was worth 1/3 and stated it credits "Instantly".I followed all the criteria above except I used IE(Internet Explorer). I am currently holding off on completing the process and doing another offer to GO GREEN until this is resolved and reflects on my account. I've put in a Credit Request with the IFW but don't know when I'll here from them(they say within 5 business days). Any Help or thoughts would be greatly apprieciated.

First of all, WELCOME!!! But as you will learn the more you trade and the longer you are here, INSTANT does not always mean instant...they can still take up to a few hours or even a few days...i know it sucks but thats the way it goes sometimes...patience is definately a must hre!! GOOD LUCK TO YOU and I hope you DO get your credits!

When you complete an offer yes you usually will get an email confirmation from the offer....to see if you got CREDIT for the offer you would hit the "status" tab on the freebie site and it will show you what offers have credited that you have completed

Thanks for the Welcome. Would you suggest me finishing the referral(2/3 Credits or wait until the missing credit shows up?) I don't want to waste any offers. Does any Credit that say's "instantly" ever really happen right away? Thanks For your quick response.

The offer was BlockBuster $9.99 for the first mo/ membership. I figured they are reputalbe... I rent there all the time and it's something I would use. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll Post when the credit comes through or the outcome. I've subscribed to this thread so i'll check back often. Thanks again for your help.

Oh and before I forget the BlockBuster offer had a promo code box... If I had one which I Don't. Could I have used it towards this offer and it still count?

Blockbuster is an iffy one...some get the credit instantly, some a few days and some it takes the whole month....so its hard to say. No if you had a code and used it the offer would not go through....if you hold your mouse over the offer before clicking on it, they usually say if you can use codes or not

I went back and Read and ReRead In the "Instructions for Newbies" there was a link to test if you are using a proxy server (Proxy test) I completed this test the first time I read it and No Proxy was detected. After Not being credited for my 1st offer (Blockbuster). As you know I was nervous. I did some investigating today and called my phone company and they told me I was on MSN Proxy Server via DSL... OMG

I've been on the phone most of the day with my phone Company (Qwest) which I have all of my services bundled with. I went back and Read the TOS from YourHugeRewards. They state referrals need to come from a unique IP...

I Changed my ISP which will be in effect tomorrow with a Static IP address (making it unique).

I havent completed any other offers as I don't want to waste them.

How can I fix this problem with the IFW to GO GREEN and fullfill my part of te trade and is there ANY way I will still get credit for the offer I have fullfilled with blockbuster via the IFC???

Thanks So Much Any Help is appreciated!

You need to notify the IFW site that you were originally on a proxy but have now corrected the issue so they dont place you on hold. As far as the offer, it has nothing to do with you using a proxy or not.....the only reason why proxies arent allowed is because your IP changes all the time and can match up to other users making it appear that you have multiple accounts....but it has nothing to do with if you get credit or not
