ive had enough of this BS with Ideal. now some platinum offers are going back to pending when they have been credited. i try emailing them about my pinklaptop and lawntractor site and i have yet to recieve a reply...its been weeks.
im sure im not the only one having big trouble with ideal. it seems like more and more offers dont credit so members have to do more replacement offers.
after i get these two gifts from ideal...i will never click on an ideal site ever again.

everyone should call I-deal about fixing the so called 'glitches' and why they dont reply to emails

so im banned? why can i still post? shock
anyways, manofice, everyone knows about their glitches/hold up, but why arent they fixing this? this is their main advertising project...why not help those who bring in business to your company/affiliates?
they keep ignoring the problem and are still making money off this.
manofice, it seems like every time someone trys to question a site, you come down on them and pretty much tell them to keep quite. why? if we are the ones who are providing the money and possibly spending more becasue the offers dont 'credit'?
i just want them to honor the gifts without beating around the bush

Wow... I'm glad I got in a few sites before this all started. They DQ'd me once when I was in college, and they never did respond to my letter. But I got in a few great deals in the mean time. Anyone know if they got bought out or something? They get real, real generous sending stuff out and crediting offers, and now all I hear is bad stuff. It is strange...
I keep trying to recommend these sites to friends, but I'll have to stop that until whatever is going on gets cleared up.
I guess my venting is over ;-)

If someone wanted to take the time, they could easily take them to court.
Most of us have proof of the certificates, etc. And some have been DQed for reasons not listed in the ToS.

Yes hi mr. judge man, this website said if I sign up on their site they would give me a free plasma TV, but they didn't give it to me. They owe me $2,000.
Ok instead of everyone arguing with each other lets figure out a way to resolve this issue.
It looks as though as stuff like this has happened in the past, and it was resolved.
Now is there someone who works for Idea on this board? If so can we speak to this person?

Sponsors report to us that you completed their offer. This will

that a user will receive credit for an offer.
We are not responsible for delays in reporting offer completion or
failure to receive offer credit. The time it takes to receive credit varies
greatly.
Your account status reflects the information that was reported to us by

completing a replacement offer before your 60 days are up.

[quotedcf54eee1c="viperklt21"]So can we blame what Ideal is doing as kinda their revenge on Josh Clark?[/quotedcf54eee1c]
If you notice the amount of people complaining about ideal on ALL the forums, you'll notice josh clark had a lot of people doing the site also but also you now see how many others were doing the ideal sites that have been quiet in the past. Just deal with whats going on, and let them do their thing, some people were recently processed today, just give it more time.

I am not complaining they have just processed me (again). I just figured with the onslaught that josh Clark brought that it kinda forced their hand to find a way to save money. Makes sense why you would keep a site private till you receive your money.

Doesn't really matter though does it? Maybe they aquired more than they could handle? But it seems like things are getting back to working order slowly.

[quotef90f442b59="topbillin1"]Who's Josh Clark?[/quotef90f442b59]He's a guy who has a blog where he started a conga line for an I-deal site that had like, what was it, over 500 people in it which was going to cost I-deal somewhere in the neighborhood of 800k (an estimate on a post). That was the beginning of all the problems with I-deal as best as I can tell from the talk here. Anyway, since around that time I-deal has been DQing people in what sometimes seems like a totally arbitrary manner. They also have had problems in their system with offer credit, processing,...well, just read the threads. It's a big mess and, again, it all "might" be related to Josh Clark and his conga.

this is effing BS dude. it seems like you have some sort of contact with them or probably work for them. that I wouldn't doubt.
the bolded part...you always keep saying this. let ideal do their thing? what thing, fuck people over because some gifts are about to expire? after it expires because of their ''glitches'', im sure they will never send you a gift.
so please, dont tell anyone 'let ideal do their thing'...because in the past 2-4 weeks, we've let ideal do their thing and they have yet to do anything about it. in the internet world, a day is more than enough to fix a problem/glitch
manofice, you have sooo many posts, you are soo known in this forum. im sure you have had direct contact with many sites. im sure you arent worried because you will be getting your gift, if not more

That's the site I did. The 6 offer $1,000 one? I was proccessed Nov. 6th. No problems at all so far.. HOPING to be shipped soon. If not, whatever.. less taxes this year.. but I would like to use the money for Christmas presents and what not.

I'm one of the ones who had the gold glitch problem, along with generic e-mail responses and then when a "real" person e-mailed me, I was told over and over to do more offers, and then when the gold finally goes through, one of the offers that had already approved is now showing as pending. And to top it all off, I logg on to check my account yesterday, and it says my time has expired. I have never had a problem with I-deal. I have had the minor things happen and they always pulled through, but for some reason this time, I don't think they are gonna fix it for me.

I had been waiting for 4 weeks approved and my status said expect to recieve in 6-8 weeks. Then a sliver offer reversed and I ended up doing another offer. It credited but there was no redemption link because of the gold offer glitch. I emailed them asking for the link and it was put on my status page. I resent the certs and w9 today....now I have to wait again...
