Hi!!!
I try to get crediting done as soon as it's in my reports, I fell behind the past few weeks from the change in hosting company and over working myself at my job. But, I have quit my full time job to help run our shop, so I will have more time for building CttM.
I request shopping confirmations from members as proof to merchants that a member has shopped using my link and also to match against reports as sometimes the member's id isn't captured. This has helped get shopping credited to my report and on to the member who shopped.
As for the FreeFastFood signups, many did not hit my report, about 1/4 of them. I emailed the merchant 3 times but haven't received a reply. I have been advising members to try signing up again. This particular host merchant sometimes skips crediting and I don't know a member joined a program unless I receive the confirmation.
HTH
