I did the site, and not a single offer credited, and I signed up May 30th. Kinda bummed, any ideas what I can do to get those credited?

Read the stickies in both the DIY forum and the help forum. Basics Use IE, clear cookies / files before every offer, make sure the clicks registered before finishing the offer, etc. Looks like you are familiar with that already so I really have no idea what happened with you.

I signed up July 1st and did all the required offers.

The only thing I can think of is
-Glitch in i-deals crediting system
or
-You had a firewall on or something else that was blocking all cookies

I think the problem is on your end. My friend and I did offers near the end of May too and the majority of the offers credited for the both of us. Also, shouldn't this belong in the original PlasmaTV4Free thread.

I follow these guidelines

I still have IE 6 and only use it for offers. I make sure the cookies load in the folder as well.

This more or less happened to a friend of mine (I spoke on his behalf a long time ago about I Deal's nano site). He did the required offers... none credited, he did several more... none credited. This was within the crediting cycle, but he still received no credits. After sending several PMs to Molly and emails to I Deal CS, it was fixed. Actually, Molly fixed it. Not to get your hopes up, but all is not lost yet. Just contact them.

I'm having the same issue.
I'm praying that perhaps I'm on a 30 day cycle, but odds are I got in the same situation as you. I'm planning on emailing them after the 15th if nothing has shown yet.
At least I know I'm not alone - let me know if you find out anything.

No one should even contact support unless you have been waiting for offers to credit more than 30 days....they won't even look at you unless you have waiting 30 days.

I haven't completed this specific site, but if you're implying I-Deal routinely screws people, I'd have to say you're wrong. They pay out far more than they don't, at least in the circles I run in (including here).
Yes, they do have their problems and their technical glitches at times, and yes their Customer Service responsiveness leaves something to be desired (unless you can catch the reps here or at A4F). But they aren't a scam. DOYD had a crediting problem too, and Molly went out of her way to help a lot of us get manually credited and processed.
I've personally had great experiences with I-Deal and am currently working on another of their sites after taking off for several months.

I've had great experiences with I-deal too. Got over $4000 worth of stuff from them last year....the offers werent too bad either as I ended up staying with netflix and a few other ones
Playing the same crediting game with me. I'm at the 32 day mark. Several others have complained also (other than on this board.) Since there are so many of us, its time to take our heads out of the sand and figure out what step we need to take to
put pressure on them. They say the problem is ours and they won't manual credit. From other's experiences it seems as though they are now trying to get people to do 20 offers (12 reg and 8 make-up) before approving.
I know the next response will be "you can't pressure Ideal! Ha! Ha!"
Together, though, yes we can.
We need to start a thread for everybody experiencing this problem with Ideal (not just plasmatv4free but the other sites also.) I suggest everybody make screen shots of their status page before they are locked out (expired.) Copy and save the terms. Save all e-mails about offer completion as well as the packaging material the offers were sent in. When they start expiring our accounts we will need to all report the situation at the same time to really draw attention to it. Maybe then we can show a sudden pattern and get a knee-jerk reaction from those people that have power over Ideal, WebClients, etc.
But we need to wait until they expire us because some people have suddenly went approved just before expiration. I think this is a ploy to squeeze more offers out of us...because everyone says "if it doesn't credit do more" Ideal reads this board, and now they know they can do that because we will accept it, so why not try to get a few more offers out of us. I wouldn't be surprised to see some of us start getting a few offers to credit in an attempt to draw us in and get us to complete more replacement offers.
Hi Molly!!!Hi Trish!!!Hi Tom!!!Hi Maggie!!!Hi Shannon!!! All we want is to be treated fairly.

I have not heard from molly this year and she recieved my information back in november. Out of 4 Ideal sites I have been rewarded on 1. But serious plasmatv4free just dont do it..

I agree, especially if you have separate issues/questions. I'm talking more along the lines of
Day 1 "Did you get my forms yet?"
Day 4 "Hey no response, did you get my forms?"
Day 10 "Ok, I see you processed me, when will I get my plasma?"
Day 20 "Some other people online got plasmas, when will mine come?"
That shit will piss them off to no end.

This is bizarre. I logged in today, and 35 days after I did my first offer it just went green. I've been checking, because they told me to send in my stuff for manual verification.
So far, the first column went green... I did the rest the next day (did it late at night so some would have carried over).
I have no idea if this will end up working fine now, with a very strange credit cycle... but at least I'm a bit hopeful now?
As I understand it, manual verification is an all or nothing, right? So they aren't just verifying my stuff manually?

looks like I am one of the unlucky ones that didn't get credited. I'm way past my 20th day and have 0 credits. I've done DIY sites before and have never had any problem getting at least most of my offers credited. I always use the same computer/browser/etc so I know it wasn't a problem on my end. I'm e-mailing them, good luck to me.

But when I tried to redeem the Television, it said my registration was expired.
I hope I get a response from support to sort this out. Every time I get excited it might actually be working, something new crops up. It's frustrating.
On the other hand, for those waiting... for some reason, I did get credit, just took twice as long as it should have ?

Their T.O.S. states you will have to wait up to 6 weeks (45 days) to receive credit. Of course, usually it's not that long, but on sites like these with low requirements for a big prize they usually extend the crediting wait schedule longer.

TV isn't worth $2000, and I know I was exaggerating the cost, but that's a huge number of offers to do (with more needed). Some of them have to be getting expensive...
I was saying that a bit tongue-in-cheek, but best of luck to benedict.
