We are going to begin issuing social sales make up rewards in the next 48 hours. These rewards are to address lost referrals from flaws that existed in the system between 10/20/2010 and 7/7/2011 that caused some orders not to be attributed to valid referrals. The make up amount for each user will be $.01 per referral attributed to that user during the period between 10/20/2010 and 7/7/2011. This amount is 2x the value of the average referral. Thank you very much for your patience while we worked through this tricky issue.
Additionally, in the next 30 days, we will be rolling out a new referrals system that rewards Quirky users for signing up new users, in addition to rewarding for marketing Quirky products. This system will be more simple, and should be far more lucrative to Quirky users.

While I appreciate Quirky’s efforts in addressing this – it has been well over a year. Based on my selling history, I’m certain that some percentage of my referrals during such time resulted in orders (in multiple units) worth more than a penny. Donate my $100 to a Foodbank or something.
I look forward to the changes Quirky has in store for SS.
Thanks.

The volume control was terrible, I could not hear any of the staff members…..

Guys, the problem on my account was that my referrals were NOT getting counted at all.
There are probably 5X more referrals than you have registered and attributed to me. I’ve been social referring hardcore since day one that we got that link. I even bought Facebook ads at one point. This is just not acceptable.
