So as a sidebar thought, I think we should have definitions sometimes it gets confusing defining site vs network vs rewards vs offers. I know I'm a noob here, but the same words get thrown around for different things repeatedly.

IMHO
[b6270791dad][u6270791dad]reward[/u6270791dad][/b6270791dad] - anything you can receive (i.e. cash, game system, ipod)
[b6270791dad][u6270791dad]site[/u6270791dad][/b6270791dad] - offers a SPECIFIC reward via a unique URL
[b6270791dad][u6270791dad]network[/u6270791dad][/b6270791dad] - owns multiple sites (i.e. I-deal, Brandarama)
[u6270791dad][b6270791dad]offer[/b6270791dad][/u6270791dad] - an advertiser sponsored trial/subscription/purchase you complete to get credit toward a reward.
[b6270791dad][u6270791dad]credit[/u6270791dad][/b6270791dad] - the number of offers needed to be completed to earn a reward from a particular site. Note some networks have half and third credits/offer.

I know you're a noob here but those are all common sense. If you just spend a day reading all the topic you will quickly gain the knowledge.

I agree that they are common sense.

I really disagree that they are used properly. You see offer/reward said as the same thing all the time.

This was just a suggestion to try and improve the effectiveness communication on the boards and reduce some confusion.
