What Gives?

As mentioned previously, I have stood over someone's shoulder as they registered and referred me - I did NOT received the free snipes on two seperate occasions.

If I was cynical, I'd suggest that it is not in AS's interest to give away free snipes so maybe the system doesn't always work.

To get your free snipes, contact support via HELP tab, mention the new-users' IDs and you 'might' get the snipes you've earned.

Everyone else should set up a hotmail account, register an eBay account, then create an AS account referring yourself and see if you get the free snipes. Post the results up here and let's put this one to bed!

that is a shame because it makes me not want to refer anyone to such a great service

this feels like quite a rip off

because i think a good feature on this website would be to have something where you can see how many people you reffered and who they are!

The number of people can be calculated, but sadly, "who" they are is a problem because of “privacy” issues. Sounds silly, but that’s what has been given as the reason. Considering some of the trends these days, that's probably a rational policy on AS' part.

Take the fact that we have any number of longtime regulars in this forum, myself included, as your best indication of the quality of the AS experience.

I second that, Chatter!

Why, though; what are you losing by 'reffering' someone?
If you recommend any goods or services to someone, being reimbursed for your trouble is a bonus

Mike that may be the case if i was just telling friends but i am going out of my way advetising on forums trying to spread the word to mass amounts of people

i think the least that can be done is gettin what i am owed based on was what agreed upon

i dont see this as a bonus i see this as my regular pay..

I didnt actually think the AS *experience* was in discussion here?? ?? ?? ?

The OP was ACTUALLY questioning the expectation of being reimbursed for his advertising on AS's behalf.

For every one (1) person you refer that signs up, we’ll credit your account with three (3) free snipes! The more you refer, the better your chances of earning FREE snipes.

I never noticed the *chances* in there, that is a bugger.

I'd suggest it would be well worth AS giving away a MAX of $15 worth of snipes if they get new customers.

Especially since a $5 snipe doesnt cost anymore for AS to process than a 25 cent snipe.

Sounds like KingKash is definately doing his bit for AS by getting potential clients and essentially advertising and not being *paid* for his time.

I would be giving AS support the usernames of your referrals and seeing whats going on...maybe drop them a line or two (via the support link) and asking them to clarify the *chances* wording, then we will all know whats going on

I am aware of what was stated, and never claimed that the AS experience was comprised of these forum discussions. I indicated that there are many forum regulars here--all of whom are regular AS snipers, and many of whom are longtime AS snipers--and THAT should be taken as evidence of AS' usefulness.

Not so true I am led to believe.
