the new and yeah right, improved milesource?? It is so annoying and to me they are taking points from you everyday instead of adding them. This is now way to long!!!!

what do you mean they are taking points instead of adding them?

if you hold the shift key down when you click on the sites they open in different windows and makes it really fast -- I love milesource ---so many sites don't like you to open more then the one window but they haven't complained about it yet

have you been there yet?? They are giving you a survey everyday instead of once a week which added 2 extra points to your account each week. Then they have 5 or 6 extra windos you have to open now. Just takes so much longer to do and I have a dsl line which flys. dont have to do the different windows.

i just visited the site, before you posted what you meant. i hate it!!! it will take more time to collect fewer points!!!! in addition, i had to refresh a few pages several times to get only one point!!
these point sites keep making it more difficult to earn points, and then they raise the spending levels. if i were so addicted to them i would quit - im sure that's what everyone says, so this is how they can get by with it!
darn!

If you "hate" it, don't do it. Leaves more awards for those of us who appreciate getting something for [basically] nothing.

Even w/out DSL, I open all Click FIx in new windows and read my free magazines while waiting for them to load.

So today I have ZERO points no matter how many times I refresh..and here is the message I REPEATEDLY get when I TRY to get any click fix points:

We're sorry, an error has occured while trying to process your request.

Please check any information you may have provided and try again

Guess I will try later.....Logging in and out does not help either!

ANYONE ELSE getting this message in red, repeatedly each time you try to get a click fix point, take a survey too?

THANKS!

And even more for those of us that actually spend money at the merchant's sites! Those of us that do buy/spend through the rewards programs are the ones that get hurt most of all when these things go under.....

I don't like this new way, either - I'm going to write to cs. I tried the click fix thing and no sites showed up. I was only able to get 11 points. I usually get 26 points.

(I still can get moviefone because I bookmarked it).

did anyone try the "mystery points"?

EXPRESS all the opinions you like...I agree with you and lots of others do too!

This is a GREAT forum and everyone here is really so nice..I am SURE nobody meant to hurt your feelings. EVERYONE is entitled to FEEL what they FEEL!

Have a great weekend!

After thinking about this and what Sydnie said here is what I think also... I never said I hated milesource. what I did say was I hated what they have done to their site! You now have to go to 3 different places just for the clickfix thing. When I first started it was only one page you went to. Then they moved 5 of them to the front. Now you have to do it 3 different ways. Also if you take what they are now offering which is 22 points a day. I used to could get 24 a day so taking 2 away each day is a total of 14 a week. Then add 2 more on top of that each week since they now have you doing a survey a day. so add that to 14 and you get 16 gone each week which totals 64 a month. I am sorry but I LIKE getting my extra 64 points each month. I do agree that I do little for a GC but now cashing in is just gonna take that much longer.

Sorry if I offened you. I have seen so many threads where people have said they hated or disliked (whatever or however ya want to put it) another site such as blink, funnymoney etc...) and NEVER have I seen anyone get attacked like you did me just now.

a forum is a place to speak as one desires, expressing any opinion that doesn't go beyond certain limits of "public decency".

I too hate the new format for ClickFix. It was bad enuf when they went from one page of 20 to two pages of 5 and 15 but now three pages? Still, I can accept this as I am getting something for free (almost).
