SR- BlockBuster- Isnt there offer for $25 Disney gc?

[bettyann29]

I swear I saw something about $25 disney giftcard for signing up for blockbuster just a few days ago.. Am I missing it or is that particular offer gone already? I now just see the 18.00 for signing up..

[LorieR]

It's still there. It's on the "News and Links" tab :)

[bettyann29]

Thank you soooo much.. I knew I saw it somewhere.. so would I get any $ for signing up or is it just the giftcard?? the giftcard in itself is wonderful but just curious..

[kimntrent]

You know my mom signed up for this when it originally came out the for that one day. And she only got the 20.00 credit. She emailed tricia a couple of times but got no resolution. Tricia if you are out there can you help me on this one.

It was actually just a 20.00 placeholder that we removed back out when we sent the $25 Disney card. If she did NOT ever get a Disney gift card, than that is a problem. But she should have seen a 20.00 credit and then a 20.00 debit, followed by a $25 card in the mail. Now we actually do a 25.00 credit and then a 25.00 deduction, followed by getting the card in the mail.

[kimntrent]

Nothing was ever deducted or anything. Her id is kimkatmom. She makes comments about it sometimes and I don't want her to have a negative feeling about it. It was the first time you offered it and it came through an email and she signed up there.

She filled out a trouble ticket and I responded to the trouble ticket. Maybe she doesn't know to go back in and check the trouble tickets? She wrote it on 1/18 and my response is dated 1/20.

All of the links on our site are coded by the advertisers to report back to us which link you click on, whether you complete the offer, the date, etc. The advertiser reported back to us that she clicked on the link that was just for a $20.00 credit at the time rather than the $25.00 gift card. So that's what I responded to her. And then she didn't respond anything back so I assumed that she understood. :( The 20.00 plus is still in her account.

gosh! I hate to think that she has been angry this whole time thinking I didn't respond!

[kimntrent]

Well it looks like the ball is in her court. I will tell her. She swears up and down it was the 25 gift card offer. Don't worry she will get over it. =). I keeo showing her ways to earn.

How long does it usually take to come up pending? I did the offer a few days ago and already got my movies in the mail today :thumbsup2

Did you ever get credit for this because I am wondering the same thing :)

[maddi]

I was wondering the same thing. How long after you join do you see credit in your SR account? :)

[LisaNJ25]

Did you ever get credit for this because I am wondering the same thing :)

nope.. nothing yet. Its been a week. nothing pending.

[granmanh603]

If you sign up for the $25 Disney gift card offer. How long before you can cancel. The page that came up said 1 month free then 9.99 a month. Can you cancel during the first free month...or have to wait to get the credit. Thanks

[sunshinegirl]

You should only see the 9.99 for the first month offer. That is the one that is advertised and the only one that they pay for. I'm not seeing the free month anywhere.

[HayGan]

That is the one that I got. The intro email has the terms at $9.99 for the first month and then for the rate for new members :confused3 for each month after that. I probably will keep this for a little while as we have been spending a fortune at Hollywood Video lately :scared1:

[sunshinegirl]

If you signed up for the 9.99 and didn't see credit within about 4 days, you should file a trouble ticket with the full email confirmation. We were getting credits on these SUPER for about 5 months. Then the advertiser switched contracts and the conversions have been TERRIBLE ever since.

Sorry I was out....you are right it just says risk free sign up. So I figured that meant free but I guess it is 9.99 for one month and then you cancel before the month is up. How long do you have to wait? Can you cancel right before the month(30 days) is up? Thank you , sorry for the mistake in reading. :goodvibes

[granmanh603]

Ok So I signed up last night and today I see 2 $9.99 charges pending on my credit card.....is this normal. Also it says I have to have 30 movies in my queue....no way I can pick 30 movies....also do they send out only 1 or 2 or is it always 3? Thanks for any help. Carol :goodvibes

thats normal... you get charged for the first month upfront. you do not have to have 30 movies in your queue. If you signed up fir the 3 movies at a time than if you have 3 or more movies in your queue they will send you the 3.

Lisa Thank you for answering. But one more question I got charged twice...2 separate 9.99 charges. Should I just wait a day or so before I send them an email about the double charge?:goodvibes

[jollytammy]

I haven't gotten credit either.:confused3
Did a trouble ticket, but marked low, maybe I filled it out wrong? I signed up 3/9 and canceled 3/29, did the ticket 3/30.
I saw a post (somewhere--not sure) that other reward sites were having trouble w/blockbuster also. :confused:
Of course w/my luck I most likely clicked wrong:goodvibes

On another note, how quickly does zooba and stamp.com post? Thanks:love:

[maddi]

has anyone else not gotten their $25.00 CG? I still don't have anything pending and it's been over a week. Just wondering:)

No credit yet. Trouble ticket filed

[sunshinegirl]

We filed 13 disputes with the advertiser last night. It looks pretty good that we will get them. There was a known tracking problem on their end.

[bumbershoot]

Should I wait to do this, then?

[granmanh603]

no $25 gift card ,Blockbuster credit for me either....they charged my cc and still have another 9.99 pending on that cc. :confused3

[granmanh603]

A week later and still no blockbuster credit.... sent off a tracking ticket.:confused3

[Schachteles]

I got mine within about 12 hours of filling out the page...so I immediately cashed it out to get my Disney Dollars! :banana:

[granmanh603]

How did it appear in your account? I forgot I was waiting to hear back on this thread, and went ahead and did it. I'm glad to have Blockbuster for at least a month, but I DO want the bonus as well! :)

It just appeared as a $25 credit just like any of the other ones that you get...I cashed it out the same day.

[bumbershoot]

Thank you. I'm otherwise nowhere near cashing out for anything (even if the two things I bought the other day through them, AND the eBay membership I went through SR to get, come through) so I didn't know if it would look different. :)

[Schachteles]

I signed up for eBay yesterday afternoon, placed a bid immediately and within 12 hours I had the $6.00 credit from SR!

Oh no, that's NOT good...for me, at least. I joined and placed a bid through SR two weeks ago. :(

[Schachteles]

It said that you have to make at least one bid, so make sure you do that.

[bumbershoot]

I edited my reply to mention that I did. :) And then a few days later went crazy bidding (always clicking through the SR link), which was fun for a few days, and now I own 6 pins. :)

[Weluvdisny]

I've gotten some dvds from Blockbuster and my credit card has been charged. Does anyone know how long before I get credit for it?

Also, I won a bid on e-bay (I was already a user so I didn't get that credit) a couple days ago and was wondering how long before you get credit for that too?

I signedup for Blockbuster on April 10 got my movies, credit card charged and filed a trouble ticket last week and still I have no credit for it either. I don't know whats up.

[sunshinegirl]

I'm not showing any open trouble tickets that I have not responded to yet about Blockbuster. :confused3 Essentially, our advertiser changed advertisers (I think to get a better rate). Ever since then (about mid-March) we have been having problems with Blockbuster. But I have been sending all of the email confirmations in the trouble tickets to the advertiser and he assured me yesterday that he is still working on it.

I posted on the Member Zone about ebay. They screwed up big time and pretty much didn't track transactions for almost any affiliate. Ours is bad in particular because we were new and the new links were the ones that they just stopped tracking on. They sent us an email today that they have fixed the tracking. We'll all believe it when we see it. They have not yet told us what they are going to do about all of the transactions that were lose in the meantime.
:headache:

[bumbershoot]

Tricia, should we send something to you proactively for Blockbuster, or should we still wait a few weeks?

The eBay thing is bumming me out.


Editing to add a question about eBay. Even if we don't get credit (:() for joining through your site, can we still in the future get the credits for purchases?

If your Blockbuster did not credit within 7 days of when you signed up, definitely file a trouble ticket with the confirmation email.

I did actually get credit today for a couple of ebay sales. I'm hoping it is because their tracking is now up and running again. I don't want to make any promises, but they are optimistic that it is starting to work again.

[bumbershoot]

Thanks Tricia!

Gotta say, even if ebay doesn't come through, I'm so happy about the movie club today I'll be OK. :)

But b'buster needs to work. :upsidedow

Ok Trish, About Blockbuster credit...I want to cancel before the month is up so I don't get charged again. Will that affect getting credit for the $25 Disney gift card? I guess its just me I have trouble getting credit with almost everthing I buy!!!

[granmanh603]

I signedup for Blockbuster on April 10 got my movies, credit card charged and filed a trouble ticket last week and still I have no credit for it either. I don't know whats up.

Ok it is 3 weeks since I signed up for Blockbuster and still no $25 gift card credit. I filed a trouble ticket , sent off my email confirmation and still nothing. I am cancelling Blockbuster today and then as soon as I have enough to cash out leaving SR too.

As I have already explained, this is not specific to you. This is a general problem with the advertiser for a defined period. We received NO commissions for Blockbuster for three weeks. We are trying to get almost $1500 from the advertiser so that we can credit all of the members who submitted confirmation emails. Until we hear back from the advertiser, our hands are tied. Once we hear back from the advertiser, we will be able to credit everyone who submitted confirmation emails.

Did this ever get straightened out for you? I signed up, and I have a charge for $10.96 (the $9.99 plus tax) and then another $9.99 from Blockbuster pending on my cc. Just wondering if the other $9.99 will get removed at some point. :confused3

[bumbershoot]

I was reading through the membership info, b/c I was seeing what other options they have beyond 17.99/month, and found this:

Pending Charges for Payment Cards. If your Payment Method is a credit or charge card (the Payment Card), you also authorize Blockbuster to place a pending charge to your Payment Card when you sign up for membership, and prior to each subsequent periodic charge. Pending charges are used to verify your billing address and the validity of your Payment Card, are temporary (typically 3 to 7 days in length), and will not be converted into an actual charge to you. Pending charges, while pending, will, however, reduce the available amount of credit on your Payment Card in the amount of $1 per pending charge.


Maybe that's what is happening with your card?

To answer you yes the second charge was eventually removed but it did take a few days. The first 9.99 went thru but the pending 9.99 stayed for a few days.....I still haven't gotten the credit(25 Disney gift card) yet. I also did cancel today. And I only had like 6 movies in my cart. 3 were sent pretty quickly..... hope this helps. Carol

Thanks!! I should have looked more closely at all of that, but my eyes tend to glaze over at that point. ;)

Thanks so much! I don't plan to cancel as we have been talking about subscribing for quite awhile. I just hope the $25 comes through eventually. I put movies in our queue on Sunday, they were mailed yesterday, and should be here by tomorrow. :banana:

[experiment_627]

I just went searching for my Blockbuster email confirmation in anticipation of filing a trouble ticket later when I realized that I am a total idiot. I forgot that I signed up for Blockbuster until myemail@charter.com istead of .net, so I never got the confirmation email. I have since changed it in my Blockbuster account, and I am getting emails confirming my selection shipments.

I guess I can kiss my gc goodbye now. :sad2:

[Kycha]

Tricia, Thank You for responding so quickly to my trouble ticket for the Blockbuster gift card.

I signed up for BB on 4/22. I filed a trouble ticket on 4/28 when I had not received credit for the gc and you responded on 4/29. And everything was taken care of. I didn't expect you to respond so quickly.

Thanks again!

I wish I were that lucky....I signed up on 4/11 filed a trouble ticket on 4/18 and sent off a separated email confirmation from Blockbuster....didn't hear from Sr until 4/23 resend email confirmation , 4/24 said it was forwarded to Blockbuster and still have no credit. :confused3

[sunshinegirl]

GOOD NEWS!! I just got credit for 15 of the Blockbusters. It is not all of them, but it is a chunk. And it means that we are on our way. I really do have faith in this particular advertiser (I cannot say the same for all of them). I'm going to start going through the list of UIDs right now and importing the data.

Yippy I was away from the computer and just came home....I got my credit thank goodness...I was very doubt full to say the least. Thank you Tricia. Now what do I do tho. Do I have to request it or does it just xome? Thank you. Carol:banana: :banana:

[bumbershoot]

Same here. :sad1:

Spoke too soon. Got the reply that I got it. I don't see it in my account, but I trust the overnight rewards pixies will be working, and it'll be there when I get up so late in the AM over here Pacific time. :) Whew! That was really starting to worry my DH, er, me!:upsidedow

Good for you :thumbsup2

Mine still isn't there and no word on it. I'm surprised because I'm sure mine was submitted with others that did this back in late March early April.

[bumbershoot]

I'm sorry. :(

FWIW, the credit I was told I have still isn't showing anywhere in my account...:confused:


I really hope you get yours!!!!
