how come when these stupid "free" point offers don't pay you (even one I did that was supposed to be a successful one by puddles forum list) these people at the support system when you contact them keep responding with the "Please copy and paste the ENTIRE confirmation INCLUDING the header and also post your quiz result" when the most of these offers especially the annoying ones that make you go through pages and pages of offer/survey crap don't send you any emails and of course you don't have a copy of your results because at the time you weren't figuring on a problem and you closed the damn webpage..

I hate these thing and am only doing them because I am desperate for points as my barn is sitting around on the hoofs unable to afford trnys...

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr,

these damn offer people/companys need to be made more responsible

Take a deep breath and count to 3. LOL

Seriously though, sorry for your luck with the free point offers.

Free Points Offers

We hate them, too, but they do get players free points. I've heard some players say that if you keep nagging every day, day in and day out, they're going to give you the credits. Keep nagging them. Tell them you didn't save the results. Tell them you're going to post in the forums and let other people know that these offers aren't fair. Be aggressive with them and we've seen good results.

Also, here is some advice. Use a secondary email account. Don't use your main email accounts. It's easy to set up an email at Yahoo or Hotmail. Have that one specifically for your free offers.

Like I said, we don't like them, but we've noticed that they have helped hundreds of our players get the points they need to build up their barns.

This is exactly what I did a month ago. I wrote a rather "pi***d" off note in the "Didn't get your points" link. Really aggressive and insulting. Said some things that I regret saying, but, Super Rewards Customer Service awarded me every single offer that I applied for, even if their customer didn't acknowledge completion.

Let rip on them and get your points!! Any anger you've been storing, now's a good time to vent :-)

Now then,...*Motron rolls up his sleves* I do believe StretchRun has that ever so lovely little blue badge...If he gave you the go ahead to "vent" your frustrations on them("We Hate Them Too!)("Be aggressive with them)
That's a green light my man!

@ Xanadu77

Im in total agreement. Free offer sponsors should be made more responsible. I tried my "luck" at some free points offer...nothing. Zilch! After going through 30 minutes of Q&A crap too. When the end appeared, I was suppsoed to be awarded 17500 points and received a big fat 0! It was my first & ONLY attempt, especially after reading other players' posts of disgust with the free offers.

@ StretchRun

May I dare ask...who has time to hound and hound for free points that are supposed to be given anyway? My time here is used pretty efficiently between the forums, private game play to train, email and tournament searches, entries & races. I easily spend 3 hours here. Now I should add another hour to beat some heads in to get points I earned from 30 minutes of Q&A stuff? Come on...!!
I appreciate the suggestion...and great for those who have received their free com points. But I can't afford any more time to chase what I earned in time spent already. Especially when it is doomed to be a repeated process for more offers in the future.

My experience with the free

My experience with the free offers is that they are so time consuming, that if you are employed and can put a dollar amount on your time, it's cheaper to just buy points, and avoid the endless "surveys' and free offers that are only free if you are willing to open your computer to endless sales pitches to purchase things you don't want or need. I don't blame the marketers, They just need to make a buck, but not on my time.

Your time is worth at least 20 bucks an hour, you can get 200K points in less time than it takes to brush your teeth! One time purchase, just to build your stable.... I'll see your little Swinger in only a few days now!

What am I doing? Im not supposed to be encouraging you in this way!

Bad Frostbite, very bad....;)

@frostbite

Maybe you're right...you do have a point (excuse the pun). Its just as well to forget those cruddy offers and just make a 1-time purchase. Of course, a stable can be built if the points are used efficiently.
BTW, encourage, encourage! I need all I can get. Thx! :D
