I lost 2 greens from 7 to 5 on my flatscreen, and my brother went from 12 to 6 on his iPod (which isn't too big of a deal) but what the shit is going on?

possible related question did anyone who lost greens GET a few greens yesterday?? I had one before yesterday, and over the course of the day yesterday I got 3 more, so I was stoked...and now today I lose two?!?!?

Could it be blockbuster greens? Thats the only think I can think of... because the only green i lost was one that I got from a friend completing the blockbuster offer (it gives instant credit... even though its supposed to take 2 weeks.
come to think of it, it could be.... my the one i lost was from my friend who did blockbuster...
it says you get credit if you do not cancel the offer untill the end of the 2 weeks, so that could be it...

that could be it...I wouldn't know if my greens came from blockbuster.com, but I would guess that most of them did because I told them it is one of the easiest.

omg, you completed the 4 offers in 2 days?!?!) WOw)
And for the greens - it may be a glitch to the system - remember, today they showed Freeflatscreen's banner on the freeipods site. So wait a while, and they may turn back to green. Or in fact it's really the BlockBuster offer - you`re not supposed to cancel before that)
he didnt cancel, he actually wanted to do the full thing, so yeah

We aren't talking about not getting credit. We are talking about getting credit and then losing it randomly.
it doesnt seem to be random since it has happened to a group of people

Probably just a glitch. Unless they are cracking down on fraud, and you all are frauding.

it's perfectly normal... sign out and sign back in, that usually clears it up for me

The Blockbuster offer used to say 'instant credit' a couple of weeks ago, when two of my referrals signed up for it. They (and I) got credit instantly, and haven't lost the green status. however, since then I have noticed the blockbuster offer has changed to two weeks and you have to complete the trial. Has anyone lost greens for blockbuster offers that were signed up for prior to uuhh...maybe the 15th of last month or so?
I wanna find out if my greens will disappear too (

I had two referrals sign up over the weekend; one sign up Tuesday and one sign up Wednesday. All picked Blockbuster.
The two from the weekend turned green instantly and have stayed green.
The two this week - the Tuesday one went Green then turned back to yellow. The one from today has stayed yellow.
I guess it does look like it's up in the air until the end of the trial period whether we'll get greens. I don't want my friends getting screwed though - how can they keep the offer for the full 14 days AND not be charged for the next month? And is it true that you HAVE to rent movies during those 2 weeks? The Blockbuster deal isn't looking so hot.
On that note, if a referral signs up for 2 offers - say I encourage them to do ancestry.com as well, will I be able to get credit for that? Or am I only credited, successful completion or not, with the first offer?
Thanks in advance!

If your friend doesn't get credit for BB, but does get credit for Ancestry.com, it will be reflected on your account. No Worries. )

Ok, so assuming the greens that went away were Blockbusters...did they get removed (switched back to yellow) because they cancelled, voiding the credit, or were they prematurely given credit that they should have had to wait for...if the latter, shuold they re-get their credit in within' a couple weeks? These two I lost are the difference between me gettin' an ipod at this point!!!
Thanks!
They were probably given credit too soon... my friend hasnt canceled (nor does he plan to)

Just wait... they go green... then go yellow a few minutes later... wait like a half hour or an hour and they'll come back

I had this happen as well
I was clicking through the faq on FFS and I noticed that it changed. Basically they ask a question "Did the user cancel right away?" and if you say yes they explain that sometimes if they user cancels too soon they will remove the completion.
