How do you know if you are on hold or not - like do they wait until you are done with all 5 or do they do it right away sorry im kinda a noobie

from what i understand unless you blatantly defy the t&c you wont get on hold UNTIL you ask for final approval. then they weed you out.

Ummmm, no. They don't have the time nor the resources to check every referral as they come in. It's much more efficient for them to look at the account as a whole.

and waste much time on those who did meet the requirements legitimately at the very end?

either way, they do check all referals no matter what.

While you have completed all the requirements to get a FREE iPod, we have reviewed your account and referral offer completions and have placed your account on hold. We have determined that your referrals appear to not be unique users. Because we make money from advertisers who only pay us for unique users, we cannot credit you for these referrals.

You have not received credit for 1 or more of your referrals because they do not appear to be unique user(s).

they tell you that under status if your on hold. you click request approval after all five referalls are there that button pops up. then if your put on hold they put the above message on. im on hold cry

[quote0b9183b94f]You have completed your requirements. Now just get 5 friends to complete an offer.

i think we just witnessed a first. who would have known... they go through to look at the e-mail addresses that your referrals used, your passwords, your ip addresses. to make sure nothing looks repetitive or shady. if you pass the test you get your stuff, screw up, and you are... well... screwed.

I was just put on hold for having "non-unique" users, but they will not tell me which users were non-unique!

how easy is it to get off hold once you get put on hold? Can you put up a solid argument, and then get taken off?

evilbearboomboom

dont worry about the hold stuff until it happens. if you are put on hold wrongly it can be reversed, but you have to put a hell of a fight. but its easiest to just not pull ANYTHING shady....

I heard it is much harder to get off hold from gratis then from other sites (OC, Cooper bros) Is this true


edit Just wondering cause I am using tech4free, and i think I might get put on hold, but I am not sure.
