I'm still working towards my charger lol I just need like 4 more points but I've been lazy.

get the referrals man. thats where its at. ive spent 124 points so far since ive joined about 2 months ago. 9 of those points are from me actually doing surveys....and the rest is just 15% of whatever everyone else does for me.

stephenp1983 · « **Reply #81 on:** June 09, 2007, 09:01:28 am »

To get the points people have to sign up though right?

hypernova · « **Reply #82 on:** June 09, 2007, 10:02:09 am »

I've spent 101 points. And have gotten 0 referrals. (Well, technically one, but they've only gotten me 1/2 a point.)

hulkster · « **Reply #83 on:** June 09, 2007, 03:13:24 pm »

i have 70 pages of referrals

stephenp1983 · « **Reply #84 on:** June 10, 2007, 10:28:55 am »

I still have none lol. I've had some surveys pending for a couple of days too. Looks like they went on vacation.

stephenp1983 · « **Reply #85 on:** June 11, 2007, 07:30:24 am »

Kinda pissed right now. I did around 7 surveys because I just need like 5 more points to get the charger. They wait 3 days to look at them and deny all of them which is crap. I know I did them correctly and there is no way I did 5-7 wrong.

submit a ticket. they will answer...sometimes it just takes a while.

submit a ticket. they will answer...sometimes it just takes a while.

went to the support forums and saw a post about all offers getting denied. apparently its happening to a lot of people. the main admin guy responded with this:

"It appears our import script for the ID offers has broken.

We are working to resolve it now, our development staff is reviewing the files to see what has changed and such.

I believe we have a feature to resubmit all failed credits back for approval, I 'm double checking now on that to confirm"

you may want to wait a day or two to see if they fix it first, but one of the other mods said this:

"if you did the offer 100% truthfully then open a ticket with the following information:

1) Date and approximate time including time zone it was completed
2) The website of ours you completed it on
3) Your username on our website
4) A Copy of a welcome email you should have received from them, in text format.
5) The email address in which the order was placed with them under.
6) Any other mailing information, etc that will help support your claim with the sponsor.

the following still applies:
If an offer does not credit you and your sure you did it, please wait up to a few days, and try to resubmit for credit.
If after 15 days, of trying you can submit a manual credit request. Offers with a payout of 5 points or less is not eligible for manual credit requests. If after 15 days you have not received credit you may submit a ticket to us and we will investigate however, we can only credit you if the following conditions are met:
You have an email confirmation with full email headers that state and prove if you did this offer (How to). You also must be an active customer of the said offer and not have canceled it. Once you submit the manual credit request, it can take 6-8 weeks for us to get an answer from the sponsor and credit the account."

be patient though. these guys really are legit and if you submit a ticket, and give it a day or two...it will get resolved.

okay, its been resolved apparently.... http://www.dietzelsupport.com/showthread.php?t=8459

They only concern themselves with offers that actually cost a person money. All free offers that are disapproved are, for the most part, ignored, no matter if you were truthful or not. There's so many disapproved free offers, it would bog them down to worry about them.

Try getting a new email every few weeks or so. And change your fake information at the same time. It seems to help somewhat, though I can't verify that it really does or not. It just seems to. And if you plan on doing any ones that do require money/cc, DEFINITELY change your email. But you'll need to use all accurate info for those anyway. Be sure to change whatever email you have on file at gaminglagoon to the same thing as well.

I'm not sure how you get assigned an IP, but if you can change that as well (by disconnecting or whatever) at the same time, you might as well do that too!

hulkster · « **Reply #90 on:** June 25, 2007, 06:30:36 pm »

in case anyone cares.....gaminglagoon now has custom orders. this means that you can submit a request for anything from amazon.com, ebgames, or circuit city that is "gaming related". this doesnt have to be just video games however as i found out. i asked if i could get Heroclix stuff from amazon (table top game) and they said yes.

so if you are into anything other than video games, but still games related, you can get that through gaminglagoon.

stephenp1983 · « **Reply #91 on:** June 26, 2007, 07:29:28 pm »

Well I finally got enough to get my nyko charger since they lowered it to 25 points. I never did get any referrals so I earned all 25 points doing surveys lol

stephenp1983 · « **Reply #92 on:** June 27, 2007, 05:47:22 pm »

Does anyone know what this mean Wii Charge Station [25.00 pts] [pending_call_back] ?

hypernova · « **Reply #93 on:** June 27, 2007, 08:34:51 pm »

It means they've been verifying mailing addresses for the prizes. I.E. your information on gaming lagoon better be right! You should have an email that tells you to call a certain number, and give out what information you entered on the site. It's so they don't have to mail prizes out to fake addresses, I guess, as I'm not sure what happens to the prize, other than it gets returned, at their expense.

When you call, you'll just leave a message with the information they want. You only have to do it once for as long as you're a member of the site.

stephenp1983 · « **Reply #94 on:** June 27, 2007, 08:50:12 pm »

Thats the thing, my information is correct, but I still haven't gotten the email. I think my yahoo spam filter is picking it up or something.

hypernova · « **Reply #95 on:** June 28, 2007, 05:56:04 pm »

More than likely it is. Check out the date on gaminglagoon that you requested the prize, and start looking!

stephenp1983 · « **Reply #96 on:** June 28, 2007, 08:11:22 pm »

I have I even put a ticket in but nothing for that yet. Do you think it will mess it up if I change the email address?

stephenp1983 · « **Reply #97 on:** June 28, 2007, 08:14:41 pm »

Nevermind I just got a response, they said I could call a 1800 number to verify.

yeah i had to do that as well. it worked though, and maybe an hour after i called and left a message, my prize request was processed.

stephenp1983 · « **Reply #99 on:** June 29, 2007, 07:20:21 pm »

Well I had to send them another ticket as I don't have a prize id or whatever. During the message it was said that that was needed.

NightGod · « **Reply #100 on:** June 30, 2007, 05:15:17 am »

They just ran a check of the last 30 days of activity, so people who were having issues with stuff not being approved might want to check back and see if some offers got updated to approved status.

stephenp1983 · « **Reply #101 on:** June 30, 2007, 06:12:57 pm »

Finally got my charger processed, lol.

NightGod · « **Reply #102 on:** July 02, 2007, 09:15:49 am »

For those who haven't done offers like this before and haven't figured out how to rack up a lot of points quickly, safely and legitimately, here's a tip for you: get a rechargeable credit card with about $15 worth of cash on it and use that to sign up for those $1 to $3 offers that enroll you in a club that will charge $40/month to your card after the 7 day trial period. The card will cost you about $5 + the cash you put on it, so figure $20. The plus side is that you'll never have to worry about fighting to cancel the offer or being scam-charged some insane membership charge because they most they can ever get from you is the couple of bucks you have left on the card. I racked up 56 quick points using this method with another 60 or so points on the way as soon as they get approved (things like the NY Times and NetFlix that have a few day delay on them getting approved).

If you find this info helpful, I'd sure appreciate you using my referral link if you haven't already signed up!

hulkster · « **Reply #103 on:** July 02, 2007, 09:48:08 am »

hmmm....so like, would one of the Visa gift cards work or are you talking about something else? visa gift cards wont have any personal address info tied to it. so if the offer requires info like that, then it wont work. right?

NightGod · « **Reply #104 on:** July 02, 2007, 07:21:16 pm »

Those cards work perfectly, I used an American Express gift card for mine-as near as I can tell, those cards just accept whatever address you give them. There were a couple of offers that wouldn't accept it, but it was like two of them out of the 25 or so I tried.

hypernova · « **Reply #105 on:** July 02, 2007, 09:57:08 pm »

It's okay to do, but if you run out of money, and someone charges something that you don't have, and gaminglagoon finds out, you may be booted.

That being said, I applied for my paypal debit card. I always have a decent amount ($50 or so) in there.

I'm going to be hitting those things hard and often. It costs money, but it's SO damn time-effective. Five minutes for half a point? How about three minutes and $2 for 10 points!

I'll be using the ones that reward you with at least 4x the amount of money you put in.

NightGod · « **Reply #106 on:** July 03, 2007, 01:43:43 am »

Gaming Lagoon only cares if your $1/etc charge goes through, that's what nets them their bonus. Those $40 a month membership fees that the companies try to charge after the trial period is over earns GL nothing, so they don't have a reason to care about them. Basically all this method does is ensure that you don't have to bother with remembering to call in and cancel your membership before the trial ends.

stephenp1983 · « **Reply #107 on:** July 03, 2007, 04:45:45 pm »

Interesting I'll have to try one of those visa gift cards. Whats the biggest prize anyones ever gotten from gaming lagoon?

hypernova · « **Reply #108 on:** July 03, 2007, 05:51:58 pm »

Oh...my...GOD. NIGHTGOD I LOVE YOU!!!

Finally, I have a referral. That does something! I have three others that haven't done anything.

Words can't express what I felt when I realized my account had another 10 or so points since yesterday. Thank you.

hypernova · « **Reply #109 on:** July 03, 2007, 05:56:12 pm »

You know, it's kinda a fruity thing. A few days ago, I donated a point to that cause they have.

Now I got those referral points, so I decided to donate another. The least I can do.

NightGod · « **Reply #110 on:** July 04, 2007, 02:05:33 am »

Glad to help, hope my credit card tip helps some other people get some free gaming goodness, too.

well my visa gift card didnt work. does your amer. express gift card have an address included with it?

NightGod · « **Reply #112 on:** July 05, 2007, 03:38:42 am »

No address included with it and the name on it says "Gift Card Recipient" or something similar. There were a couple of offers the card wouldn't work with, maybe try a few more? IIRC, I had the best luck with offers that had the three letter Mil - code in front of the name.

hypernova · « **Reply #113 on:** July 05, 2007, 07:37:14 pm »

So what have you gotten with all those points, NightGod?

NightGod · « **Reply #114 on:** July 08, 2007, 03:31:10 am »

Just been getting 360 and Wii points-no real need for any of the hardware (have two complete Wii controller sets and got four wireless controllers with my 360 when I bought it off Ebay). I considered getting the Wii batteries, but, honestly, I have a hundred or so batteries sitting in a drawer here that I barely use now that the kids have moved from small toys to using the computer and consoles, so I can't justify it to myself. I figure with points at least I can play around with some new games and such.

stephenp1983 · « **Reply #115 on:** July 08, 2007, 08:38:47 am »

How long does it usually take to get your stuff. My Nyko charger has been processed since the 30th. Just curious.

Did anyone else get the credit card gift card thing to work?

NightGod · « **Reply #116 on:** July 08, 2007, 10:02:21 pm »

I haven't ordered anything that requires physical delivery, so I get it within 24 hours. Make sure you do the phone verification thing they will send to you when you order something, until that happens, you won't get anything.

stephenp1983 · « **Reply #117 on:** July 09, 2007, 07:28:07 am »

I did the phone verification on the 30th, and its says processed. I just want to make sure I don't need to do anything else.

Not sure...Have you gotten an email from stamps.com in your email you signed up with gaminglagoon? They send tracking numbers (not realtime tracking however...just pickup and delivery is tracked) to that email when it's shipped.

Ill check and see but I don't think so.
