I still don't understand why we should have to be soooo reponsible with the credit verification? I've been drinking the boca coffee and certainly they have my money in their account for over a week and still no credit? Filed the support/MRC and still nada, kinda sets you back a bit..EH Mate?

Yes, it can be so frustrating when an offer doesn't credit and you've paid for it and gotten the product. MOST do credit tho :)

So, if you order the trail and pay the shipping, AND you never receive credit, AND you cannot do a MCR - then you are just out of luck? You lose your shipping costs and you still have to cancel the trail offer in order not to be automatically billed each month?

This scenario has not happened and I hope it doesn't. But it does make me wonder about completing an offer that does not accept MCRs.

Nancy,

There are the worldly ways of looking at an incentive as a general thing, and then there is the way that incentives are looked at here. While we hope that there is no difference, there is. Recently I received no credit for HoodiaXPF. But I did not get it only for the credit. I got it because I wanted to try the product and had the chance to try it outside of the freebie arena, or inside the freebie arena where I could get credit. You should be aware that these offers exist without IFR sites. The fact that they are letting IFR sites use these as parts of the IFW programs, is as much their bounty to us as our business is a bounty to them, but they have the power to issue credits, to report bad faith, and the like. We owe to them the honor of good faith. When I received the HoodiaXPF in my hands, it felt very odd to me, that I would have the product but not the credit, but the company made communication with me and they were so nice. If I wanted to join a dieter's forum, they had that to offer. If I wanted a personal coach for free, they had that to offer. What I lost in the crediting process, was the credit, but what I found in the product was what I had set out to find. I had set out to find if this product would be a fit for me. The thing about credits is that there are so many things we are interested in. Truly interested in. But we want to get the most value in where we apply these interests. Replacement offers are not those that are wasted because they are needed for the credit we did not get, but because they could not be used for another credit we wanted, and the credit we did not get, can never be used again anywhere else. What we lose is not the shipping fee. What we lose is the opportunity to accomplish more.

I personally do not understand how a "no MCR" could benefit the site when they make a policy like that. If they never get credit for an offer accepted and paid for by their members, then they don't get paid. I don't know of any plumber who puts in pipe and says, "okay lady, if you don't see it, you don't have to pay me."

I couldn't agree with you more. I could care less about the shipping charges, but I do care about not being able to to use an offer for another credit I would want. I am sitting on a couple of offers right now "instant" credits that are not so "instant". I have the product and I am getting use of it, and intend to keep it. I would really hate to not get the credit and have to use another offer to fulfill my credits and then, I have to consider that an offer I cannot use again for another site.

It just makes makes no sense to me that an offer would say NO MCR. This would make me think twice about using them. Just MHO.
