Hey guys, sorry for the delay in responding here. I just wanted to say we are definitely sympathetic to your concerns. We wish we could credit every user from our own pockets if they don't receive credit. We really do! It's never good for the industry as whole when an offer doesn't credit like it's suppose to. Keeping that in mind we have taken steps to reduce the amount of crediting problems people are experiencing, but as with everything it's not 100% foolproof.

The steps we have taken to maximize our users' chances of getting credit are "advanced" and new to the industry, but they are not infallible. If user fails to follow the instructions on the offer's page chances are, credit will not come through (yes, no matter how good our software is, a user still will need to need to "accept all your cookies"). Also, the procedures we have taken are not immune to industry trends in general. Since the summer of this year, click to credit ratios have dropped dramatically in the industry - some refer to the past five months as the "fallout." Although this may simply mean that users are browsing through more offers before committing to one (which certainly may be the case - savvy-shopping is all the rage amidst economic uncertainty), it also supports the increased missing credit reports thesis.

Given both premises, the crediting difficulties your referrals have experienced are more due to trends in the industry than trends on V-Bux. I can attest to the fact that crediting rates on our network have maintained / increased since our crediting analytics efforts, while competitors' overall crediting success rates has decreased in proportion with the industry's rates – This is not trash-talk or subjective; this is documented.

I have had a very long conversation with Jon, owner of V-Bux and he and his team are working hard at making changes to improve the quality of all of the networks within V-Bux. Changes are coming and are sure to be Great from what I understand. Coming from a business family and having a business of my own I understand why the past problems have been happening and I honestly believe Jon is finding solutions to these problems and v-bux will become better than ever. With advertisers changing to larger and larger corporations and being bought out by other much larger corporations the once, one on one communication between the networks and their advertisers has lost that personal touch. I believe Jon has found solutions to this industry wide problem and in a short time this network will be once again a reliable source to send referrals.
Jon assures me that he truely wants to make this work for all concerned and I believe him. He cares very much about V-Bux and those within the forum. He wants to know where there are problems so he can address them as they come up but keep in mind they should be legitimate problems, which I agree with, and he is only one person. I want all to succeed, not just traders but all the networks as well. So take heart, I honestly believe changes are coming. If you have problems or concerns please post to this thread so Jon and V-Bux can monitor your responses.
Best Wishes to Everyone.

I will still pay you if you ever green it! I do check every once in a while to see if you have earned any more credit. lol.... I hope you green it one of these days so I can pay you that $100.

Okay an update with my referral, she has submitted a MCR (2 in fact) and they told her that it can take up to a month or so to get the credit and then they will not guarantee the credit. She does have all the email confirmations and now just waiting and waiting and waiting. She has been working on this site for 3 weeks. I also had another referral start the site but because she was not getting her credits she quit saying that if it takes this long to get credits its not worth it. Sorry V-Bux but getting credits with the email confirmations and submitting the MCR's should not take this long :(

The MCR process is the same on every other IFW site, unfortunately, it takes that long. We all wish it could be sooner. :(
