Referral error (in General)


{cb1}dyno January 2 2005 1:43 AM EST

First let me apologize if someone has already addressed this issue, i haven't had the luxury of searching all 370+ topics. However, about 3-4 of people who used my referral link did not get the bonus, nor did I get credit for the 1,000. other people that clicked the exact same link were accounted for. Is there anything you guys may know that could be causing this? Sorry again if this isn't the first time someone's asked.

Did they come from an IP/computer you also used in the past 6 months?

Well, I must say that I ran into this last night as well. I had two friends (separate) that wanted to sign their friends up. They went through the link and signed up, etc. However, I was not issued the bonus when they did. I'm not sure if I'm missing anything. However, for IP purposes, I've checked the users to make sure that they are separate from mine. My IP is 69.225.30.129. The users that signed up are Mishaela (209.122.220.75) and Kyone (24.57.151.160). I'm not an IP expert or anything (sometimes I wish I was), but it seems to me that these two IPs are pretty unique in comparison. And, also, I did a search in the transfer and purchase logs to see if anybody else has the same IP, and nobody does.

This is the only IP and computer I use every time I log into CB2 (as well as CB). I'm not trying to complain and demand my money or anything, I would just simply like to know why I didn't get the referral so I can tell them why next time and possibly avoid it in the future. :) Thanks in advance.

I had this problem as well...
I was one of the people SNK3R was speaking of when he said he had friends who had tried to get friends to sign up. I made sure Kyone went through with the link and it didn't work.
As well, Donjwa used the link as well and it didn't work...her IP, 216.221.81.97, is also unique and I've never played CB at her house...

Their IP's are different than mine. I can get them if needed for validation.

Is there anyone that can help decipher our problems we've been having?

Same here - I should have more then 10 people in my referrals that I'm sure about. It looks like it randomly doesn't work - people get 500cb$ but I don't get any cent for it.

Well, can you tell if your friends got to the index page of CB or the page showing when session expire?

My GF signed with mine but got on the error page so i didn't get the bonus...
