From a game user standpoint, I did the offers more when Super Rewards was not managing the offers. Super Rewards is slow to respond to problems from users, and requires proof of the completion of the offer in ways that the offer itself does not require you to do. For instance, to receive points a mini-game was played, many many offers were reviewed, then the game results were given. The offer states that the points would be awarded once the user reached the results page. If the points are not received, you are supposed to file a request for review. Well, Super Rewards would not take as proof of completion all the information from the results page. They even argued with what the results page displayed, even though it was cut and pasted directly from the site complete with the web address. Instead, they wanted two emails, one confirmation email and one confirmation of the confirmation email EVEN THOUGH DOING EMAILS WAS NOT REQUIRED BY THE OFFER. The post is in regards to Super Rewards.

My second, and much more serious complaint, is that many of their sponcer offers are malicious in nature. I ultimatly had to wipe my hard drive and reinstall windows to get read of a virus I picked up from this application. And I have caught at least a dozen other viruses, trojans, malware, and other harmful programs on my system after completing an offer from them. (I now run a full system and registry scan every time I use this app.) My only comlaints about super rewards is that in order to get your digital cuurency, you will have to struggle with SR, and if you get paid (about 1 in 4 will with some effort), it is only after a lengthy and very aggrevating battle.

There is even a website trying to get a class action suit on mafia wars for myspace. It is stupid to sign up for a credit card to get points but some offers seem more legit but then they change the terms on you.
