Why Some GPT Sites Don’t Confirm Payments
March 13th, 2008 | by admin |It is very frustrating when you do an offer on a gpt site and never get credit for it. I have lost a lot of money this way. Sometimes it was my fault for not completing the offers to the end but most of the time it was because the site didn’t “register” me. Here are some common reasons why you don’t get paid for offers on GPT Sites that you do.
Confirmations only happen when you’ve completed all requirements (which vary) and the site you are using is alerted. They can’t pay you until they get paid. When you click a link to do a offer you’re taken to another site. It is that site that decides if you’ve done everything required and if you should get credit.
One of the most common reasons this does not work out is because you didn’t clear your cookies before doing that offer. You must do this or else the site thinks you are a repeat visitor and therefore won’t pay you. After every gpt offer you do always remember to clear your cookies in your browser. You must accept cookies in order to get credit but once you’ve submitted it for payment delete them before moving to the next offer. Make this a habit. To delete cookies using Firefox go to Tools, Options, Privacy and then View Cookies. Delete all cookies except the one for the site you are on (or else you will have to log back in again).
The second most popular reason why people don’t get paid is because they use the same email address. The advertisers that are paying for you to do the gpt offers normally have more than one survey or offer on each GPT site. They are considered to be in the same “campaign family”. If you use the same email address for all of those offers you will only get credit for one of them. You need to go to Google and sign up for a Gmail account. Gmail allows you to take one email address and use it in different variations with a period. For example the email address johndoe@gmail.com could be used as
john.doe@gmail.com
jo.hndoe@gmail.com
johnd.oe@gmail.com
johndo.e@gmail.com
This will prevent you from having tons of email accounts and also the offer sites always see these different email addresses. It works and you should do this. I have several gmail accounts and about 10 different variations of each email address. Gmail is free.
The third reason you might not be paid is because you didn’t do the gpt offer correctly. Some offers ask you to just enter a zip code while others make you do an entire 5 minute long “survey”. (I find it odd that they call them surveys even though all you do is say No to other GPT sites or sites that want your money.) Always do the offer until you see the page that says Congratulations. Once you see this you’ve probably either finished the survey or done enough to get credit. If for any reason you are not sure then continue on a little further.
If you do an offer that ask for a zip code or email address then when you click on submit another page pops up that says congratulations, you can stop right there. I recently discovered that some offers really do only want your email address or zip code. The congratulations page is a marker in the offer that they don’t want you to know about. I have tested this and it does work. On one offer I spent almost 7 minutes completing it. The next week I did another offer that was almost the exact same thing. It was on the same site as well. I only entered my zip and that was it. I submitted it to be confirmed and it was only a few hours later. Pay attention to this and it will save you some time.
Even though there are many legit GPT sites out there you will also find some bad ones. Some sites are poorly managed and others are just scams. The good ones will have a forum or at least a fast customer service response time. Before you go all out and start doing a bunch of offers for an unknown GPT site make sure you do some research first. Check GPT scam sites to make sure this isn’t one of them. Even if its not listed always be cautious. If you continuously don’t get paid for offers then stop using that site. Some sites really do take your money and there is nothing you can do about it. There is nothing worse than spending your time on these boring offers and then being ripped off.
