What is wrong with that place?

So, I had mentioned this before on here, I get gift cards for watching or giving feedback on upcoming TV shows from an IPOS site. It is kind of a fun little community, and I like doing it..but really only do it because you get Amazon gift codes.however, every time I am due a card..I get a bogus code. Now this is like the 3rd time this has happened, where I had to email them, and tell them the code didn't work, then they email me one that does..Instead of wasting everyone's time..why can't they just fix their code generator program? I guess they don't know how or something, and they would rather waste everyone's time than to take 15 minutes to fix it.... At least they eventually send me one that works.

I am sure they could find someone who could fix the code generator, or find someone who could make a whole new one. What a real waste!

It's really stupid, when I get close to a code again, I am going to ask them if they got their program fixed.

@snowy22315 Wouldn't be a bad idea to do that. I am sure there are others that have complained about it too. If they aren't going to fix the program, they need to do something else to make the process simpler.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Sometimes agencies don't mail gift cards on time, but I haven't run into one before, that mail them like clockwork but they don't work!

Do you think some people don't bother to report it and so they save money? It doesn't sound likely really that it's deliberate.

I really have no idea. It just seems ridiculous.

That should not be a hard thing to fix.

You wouldn't think so. Any competent programmer could straighten that out.

What a pain and a big waste of time for them too.

I know, it would be so much easier just to fix it!

@LadyDuck On one hand they seem to value their contributors by sending out codes immediately, and yet not at all as they don't work!

@snowy22315 Sometimes I cannot understand how large companies cannot fix so simple bugs.

That doesn't make a lot of sense. You can't be the only one who has to email them. You would think they would fix it to stop the emails.

@snowy22315 It really does. I mean, who wants to have added work?

Glad that they finally sent you a good working one. I was thinking, 'perhaps they are scammers!'.

@snowy22315 Let hope the next time they would process things faster for you (and with correct info).

@snowy22315 I wonder why they do it that way? That is a waste of time.

That's bad but at least they are providing correct code later
