None of them are crediting. Downloaded at least 15 of them, one was a 100 point one, so i'm missing a few hundred points. I've kept the downloads on my computer, I used firefox, I got rid of all the cookies and they still will not credit for me for any of them. I don't know what else to do... I'm annoyed that its not crediting and that by marking the offers as complete it's downgrading my rating.

Offers are just a hit and miss sometimes, just gotta keep trying them to see what works for you and what doesn't. I've found that Firefox doesn't work best for me with downloads, and usually prefer IE or Chrome. Try switching up the browser you use when you complete them. Make sure you're clearing your cache as well when you're clearing the cookies. If you're having several offers not approving when doing a lot at once, it sometimes helps to take a break from offers and try them later. Don't do too many at once if they're pending for you. Since they're download offers, it could also raise your approval chances on them if you actually run the program for the first time and use it for awhile, maybe a few minutes or something.

tielknight US (WA) gold Junior Poster Total posts: 94 Status: Offline Total Earnings: $169.29	reply date: 2012-01-17 21:57:30 Just wondering, what were you guys using to do the download offers? Peanutlabs, Radium? I've been in a 2-week struggle with Matomy trying to get them to credit me for the download offers, i gave them proof and everytime they close my ticket and say it was resolved and my account was credited, which it wasn't. I reopen it, post more proof i didn't get any credit, they close it again and post the exact same reply from the first time and still no credit. Just posted another reply a few days ago and they closed it yet again with no credit and the same cookie cutter reply saying "You have been credited, blah blah" and i haven't received anything. I've got about 400 points worth just floating around that they just keep yanking me around with. Also, i noticed something, when using sandboxie, the download offers seem to complete more often if your also using your browser sandboxed as well.

Plus, sometimes even sandbox doesn't prevent you from getting something unwanted onto your PC so be careful.
