OfferCentric is the username of an OfferCentric rep who has chosen to take the time to post here.

He has requested that any personal/account questions be sent via the normal support channels. I'm going to be watching this, and anyone found sending account questions to him via PM will have all of their PM privleges revoked.

Two things...

A. If it's possible to block PM privileges, then why not block his ability to receive, if it's his wish not to receive any?

B. You specify "personal/account". Does that mean others, let's say regarding product suggestions, are permissible? Or, are you assuming all PMs would be about accounts, and all PMs are really off limit?

Just curious...

How often will he post? He has two posts; we can't PM him; that ain't much support. Confused

How about sending out free laptops with the t-shirts? I'd go for that. Wink

We're not asking people not to PM us at all just not personal account questions that are better handled by our support through the normal support channels. We’d just end up passing on the account questions to the regular support and since we don’t get into the forums every day it would end up taking longer for us to get back to you, plus it takes up time we’d rather dedicate towards participating in the forums.

As for random DQs; I'd be happy to respond to those allegations although it's been stated by us over and over in interviews and other forums that there is nothing random about it. We tell people why their account/referral was disqualified but most people don't accept it or think they should be exempt or given a 2nd chance and when we don't give in they say we did it for no reason or wouldn't tell them why.

Thanks for letting us take part in the FIG forums.

Can you address whether or not so-called "offers of doom" are the only choices available to those additional referrals beyond the initial 18 required on Notebooks4free?

I would genuinely like to know.

OfferCentric · Posted: Wed Mar 08, 2006 2:08 am Post subject:

Due to our method of filtering offers it's possible for your final referrals to end up with only the "harder" offers depending on what offers your other referrals do.

On the sites requiring more referrals, this tends to be the case more often. However the way the offers are filtered takes into account the number of referrals required by each site and each product group (for sites with multiple groups).

This means that whether you go for the cheaper or more expensive notebooks for example, your referrals will end up with the same selection of offers. You won't end up doing more "OOD" offers for the more expensive notebooks.

Tholek · Posted: Wed Mar 08, 2006 3:31 am Post subject:

It's a matter of record, that prior to the addition of "Tier 2" and "Tier 3" models, the last 2-3 prospective referrals would only be presented with a lesser number of these more "harder" offers. That seems to be the rule, not the exception.

With the addition of the new tiers, I simply wonder if those "harder" offers will be all the new prospective referrals will see once you pass 18 referrals accrued.

Is that, specifically, the case?

On a separate note, at which point do the additional tier gifts appear to a user on the select gift page? I had assumed it might be when the individual reaches 19 referrals, but I'd like to know for certain. Additionally, once an individual passes the required referral milestone for a specific tier, can they still choose a gift from a lesser tier? (With, or without forfeiting the extra referrals)

Lastly, you've allowed people to re-sign on some of your sites. Will you allow this for Notebooks4Free?

I've always wanted to know. Smile

Thanks for listening.

First, thanks for answering questions here.

Second, what is your name so we don't have to call you offercentric.

Third, will current notebooks4free members be able to upgrade to higher tiers at some point? (this seems to be similar to the previous question asked by another user)

OK.. Offer Centric How come you guys haven't been giving anybody credit for completing offers, and its not just my account

i should be done but you guys havent given 6 people credit

is it one of those scemes to make your pockets bigger?

or you could just respect the fact that were out there trying to get out share to and help us by giving those greens to those completed offers

nah, that would be to easy right!

I have put in several support tickets for a site that I've put years into completing, and OC has started to ignore me. They don't even give me a reply anymore. What do I do now if I can't PM the rep?
