I thought the proportion was lower than that from what people said, but I haven't had many A&Ls, so I don't really know from personal experience. Maybe weight them so they show up at the bottom of the list by default?

WHEN WILL A&L DISAPPEAR. I swear its not worth FJ using them as an offer. They are losing so many people that want to continue that are just getting revoked. Therefore A&L Dont have to pay out. I just lost a load too!

4 A&L
2 Lovefilm
Revoked.
:'(
Those were ALL my pendings!

technically there's no monetary cost so they are technically free

I like the idea of moving the A&L offers to the bottom of the list - have to agree with willblah that the ref is obviously willing to do an offer, tries the A&L because it looks trustworthy and easy, then realises there is more to it than just opening an account, never goes green, and loses faith in the whole thing. If they hadn't seen the A&L offer they *may* just have clicked on the lovefilm button instead.

I have a few A&L pendings, never had one go green.

At the end of the day though, it is FJ's call. I imagine the A&L offer pays a decent whack so is very profitable to FJ when it does complete. The offers I have seen from banks on various affiliate and cashback sites are usually 50 quid+ per new account.

My Mate signed up (NOT UNDER ME THAT TWAT!! wrote my ref number wrong...) and decided he'd do the A&L Offer, Anything I should tell him about completing the offer, he's asked me but I don't know what the offer requires...

williamblah · 26-04-10, 11:20 PM

Move all direct debits to new account, and possibly a certain amount of money?

This would be nice, just lost 35 referrals and have no idea who it was, what offer they completed etc... at least if we knew we could try to improve the situation

Taking on new ventures on the interwebz for making money, the freebie scene has been great to me and I have learned more from my years of freebie hunting than I ever had at school. Fed up with SEO too, too much time effort for the risk of Google deciding what to do with your website. Rather than competing with everyone on here with SEO I am taking what I learned from my freebie hunting and taking a different route as far as internet marketing goes, I am still very much a noob though, but I am learning.

Not nearly as much I hoped for, I always tell myself that I will lose a maximum of 10% of my pendings, but this time round just took the biscuit for me!

Oh well ...it happens

What different methods are you experimenting with ?

Simmo · 28-04-10, 09:51 PM
