 | Alliance & LeicesterCan someone please explain to me why alliance and Leicester are still offers on FJ? I just saw I had a new pending referral, but when I saw it was A & L my heart sunk... Why is this offer still available when no one ever seems to get greens from it? |

 | It's probably because people don't complete the conditions like put any money into the account. And that's the whole reason why they are using the offer, to get new customers!! I completed the offer the other day just because it offers such good interest rates and is a great way to keep the money getting the best return possible!

| Ah ok.. So there is a possibility that my pending referral may go green? That gives me some hope at least  I will just have to email them explaining how to complete the offer without it being revoked. |

 | Nearly all of my alliance and leicester ones have been completed successfully. Only had 1 revoke from A&L as far as I can see and 8 greens. It is just like people say some of the accounts have other terms that need to be met on top of simply opening the account

 | Poor results here too, although the way I now look at it, the users wouldn't have doen another offer anyway. Any A & L green is a bonus. I thought old A & L pendings weer going to be removed but I have 8 from February and 22 from March (as well as 16 in April)  I imagine most if not all will be bad.

| I've had about 15 A&Ls.... all have been revoked. (the last 4 have been pending for so long that they will be revoked after the 2months FJ give them to change)

| I was told a while ago it was 2 months... but I also have old pendings: 23/01/10 19/02/10 21/02/10 22/02/10 22/02/10 And I think I had one of those (the oldest) only go pending recently! Got really excited to see a new pending (getting very few atm) but then depressed when I saw it was an A&L!!

| I would sooner see these offers removed, people may then look at the other offers available.

| Re: Alliance & LeicesterI wouldn't see A&L as the easier offer even if I didn't know the T&Cs! I too would rather see the offer removed (no offence to FJ) 1) we get false hope for each person who does A&L... I'd rather just see them stay red, to me it's exactly the same thing, despite T&C emails I send 2) there's a chance that even 1% of them may have done a different offer if A&L wasn't available.. Then we'd see a green not a never ending pending 3) they'd have more faith in FJ and maybe stay... If I did A&L and it never went green I'd think FJ was more of a scam. I know some people see a high return in A&L greens but it doesn't reflect the majority. All you have to do is look back over the hundreds of disheartened threads about the offer! Again, no offence to FJ, thanks for findings new offers all the time... Bit I think A&L has past it's trial time and I don't think the feedback is particularly good!

not sure if FJ will remove them as with most banking offers the payout is often decent, so as long as they get enough completes its worth keeping.

| I'd rather the offer be removed to fwiw. I've had about 1 go green in 10, but I reckon more than 1 of them would have completed another offer had it not been there. |

| i could not agree more with folk i have the same probs but i don't think i have had as many as some but NONE of mine have ever gone green... maybe adding some bold text to offer box so people see a definite explanation of whats required before they even think of completing that.... but if you notice A&L offers dominate the free offers section on the FJ offers page... |

| Why not give us the choice of offers to display on our panel, like we can with the gifts...
