Hi sorry to ask but being new I wondered what you mean by "lost a fair few pendings today"??

Thanks

[Amiethest]

Oh, sorry, I mean that some pendings came off my account, (Don't know what ones I'm afraid, probably A&L and LOVEFiLM looking at it) and sometimes LOVEFiLM send a report full of revokes before they get the greens accross, so I'm hoping that this is a sign of greens to come.

Maybe will be, maybe not, but hey, one can hope.

Pretty sure it was an A&L revoke

[TEMPLE3188]

Let's hope it was revokes, I am 95% sure I just lost at least 6 pendings but 1 green has turned up!

[icyoli]

I just said "WHAT!!" really loudly :/ lost 6 refs

[arcticfox]

I get the feeling these were A&L though Richard will probably confirm.

I'm just going on the fact that I've lost 5 pendings and after looking at my account, I have only a few A&L left but I'm sure I had more.

A&L revoked...no surprise

[MJ10]

Probably A&L I guess

*goes off to check stats*

*but has to close app, open safari, reload page, close app, open app, find this thread, click edit and post* Hurry up multitasking I say!!

EDIT: And I'm back!

Gone from 26/10 to 26/7 so lost 3 pendings... All a&l I think. So shiit! I hate A&L! Never had 1 green!

That's 11 A&L revokes now... Out of 13 (2 still pending)

What I'd find useful is something to confirm what gets approved or revoked with each report.

Cruelworld had a great thought about also being allowed to customize your offers shown to referrals in the same way you can customize gifts shown. I'd love it - even if only to remove all the A&L variations

Like a mini personal report?!

"you had 1 a&l revoke, 2 LF greens and 1 intuit green"

Type thing?

I think that would be fantastic! I have trouble finding what went green or revoked as they do it on different dates

I asked support for that once - offers revoked/on hold in the past 24 hours type, like the others, but they don't keep that particular data.

I still have one from Feb (22nd) and from Jan! The latter did the offer recently but the Feb one did it in feb!

Does that mean there's a chance itl go green?!?

I still have one pending from 28/02/10
Torture :P

Can I just ask, I would imagine a large large number of A&L pendings that go on to be revoked end up not completing another offer. This means that they are of absolutely no financial benefit to FJ, oui?

Also, I would imagine if these people were willing to sign up to A&L, most of them would have been willing to sign up to a different free offer, oui?

I understand normally choice is the order of the day, but surely in this situation it seems like it is a loss of revenue for FJ, a loss of greens for referrers, and a loss of enthusiasm for referrals. Would it not make sense simply to remove the offer?

I think the reason lots of people go for it over Lovefilm or Intuit (the other two non-credit card, non-upfront cost offers), is simply because it is a slightly more recognisable brand name. While it may increase reds to pendings by a significant amount, it appears it would be better to sacrifice the extra pendings who signed up to A&L and wouldn't sign up for any of the other offers, in order to get the remaining potentials signing up on Lovefilm or Intuit or a better converting offer.

[moviedrome]

Whatever people might think about the A&L offer there are a large proportion of people who do complete the offer and do turn green. The revoke rate is obviously higher than any of us would like but I strongly believe that if any go green it is worth having.

As for ones still pending earlier than the date I stated - I can only go on the reports given to me by the advertiser so it is likely they completed an offer more recently.

Well can you at least move them from the "free offers" section as they are clearly not free!
