SS2. I just thought I'd play this game when my FS stamina was burnt and did some mobile offers to get some crystals to upgrade some things and here's the breakdown of it all. ALL offers were completed on my end, but it seems your publishers are ripping off your users.
Well. I have outstanding offer rewards owed to me on multiple HCS games.
Where's my 87 Flux Crystals ???
RIPPED OFF.
It cost me over 20.00 on my cell phone bill too!
Why have these offers if we're going to get ripped off. I've spent time and money doing the mobile phone ones only to get credited very few times, yet billed every single time once the PIN has been submitted.
Trust me I have completed the offers and did not screw anything up on my end.

No offers awarded
GratisPay - Says I've started the mobile system, which is crap. I completed them including entering the pin which proceeded to fill my mobile number with crap both surveys.

I would highly advise against ever using your cell phone, those offers are some of the biggest rip-offs and the ones that are well known for adding more charges to your bill. I would also be very careful about what personal information you give these sites if you don't want to deal with identity theft in the future as not all are honest which is why Hunted Cow Studios Ltd. says it's not responsible for the content of the external sites so take that message seriously.

If you do not get credited, or you have any issue with the offers, click on 'Missing Flux Crystals? link I've had to go after a few of my rewards which is one of the reasons i gave up on them.

Frankly I'm pretty sick of chasing my Crystals and FSP.
What a rip off. Shouldn't HCS who's getting paid for the offers be chasing those for us since it's their systems?
I've texted all the offers now with STOP
Pisses me off.
No more rewards for me.
Done doing that garbage if it doesn't even credit after costing me money
I've never done the offers requesting personal info for that reason.
Only the mobile ones.

HCS has no control over them and I'm actually quite surprised by how many sites have these terrible offers if it were my site i wouldn't even consider any of those companies.

They're now trying to get me to provide information I cannot knowing that it was a mobile phone offer and I have no way to EMAIL them the result of the survey considering it was not an email offer but a mobile one.

I have found offerpal tends to pay the most and be the most reliable. I always take a screen shot of the final page on the survey ones and after a couple hours send them the picture using tinypic.com. Once they receive my screenshot, offerpal can collect from the sponsor and pays me out. While I would estimate about 30% end in confusion or some failure, I have found the rewards to be worth while. While I don't have an exact number, I can say that since the game began I have received well over 2000FC from reward offers. It just takes a bit of diligence and willingness to submit valid info (but I would recommend not using any work emails).
Try again, use valid info, complete all steps of the survey, capture the final page showing you met the qualifying criteria and follow up. I did see you mention you didn't want to chase down the rewards, but in real life chasing down money for your labor is common place if you ever want to be successful in running a business or doing any kind of freelance work. Don't stress about, be patient and cover your bases. Good Luck.

$uper Rewards can screw themselves. If they want to treat the people who do their offers this way and actually complete them, then I feel the need to warn others against this scam since it costs them money and the only people who would profit are HCS (Which is fine), and $uper Rewards which is not fine since $uper Rewards obviously could easily credit this and warn the advertiser against doing that further yet chose not to. It's only fair that the members doing the rewards know the hazards of doing offers for $uper Rewards. The reply from the other company remains to be seen at this point so I will reserve judgement on that.
On another note the only ones that seem to be upfront, straight up and reliable on any HCS site appear to be offerpal and easy rewards.
I had a bit of trouble with offerpal on one reward but all since have worked flawlessly and easy rewards has never had an issue.

After much arguing with $uper Rewards they awarded me the 4 crystal offer but not the 30 something one.
Update on Gratispay
They are trying to pull the exact same thing.
In order to investigate your request with our partner, we need the following information from you:
* your full name
* your account name or number
* your email address
* some proof that you completed the offer successfully (e.g. an email you received from the partner; the screenshot of an account you created)
* if you participated in an mobile offer please send us the text sent to your phone along with the date and time
Your GratisPay Support Team
Yeah cause I really was so concerned about being scammed that I took a screenshot.
Yeah also cause I really keep a full cell phone of text messages after I txt the word stop to quit being spammed.
LAME
Pretty sad..
