I didn't contact anybody, @scillakees, because only the live chat is available here and I didn't have the best of luck explaining an earlier problem to them. Although I did eventually get someone to fix that problem, but it took weeks and three different people to get anywhere. So I haven't tried yet.
@scillakees - Welcome to the DD thread. We love when people unlurk themselves. When I have had points refunded, a refund shows in my Origin order history.
@spreadsheet team - I am clocking out. To the DD stalkers, please continue to post the deals.
I used the live chat, couldn't find a phone number. They told me to contact them in 24-48 hours but my points kept increasing from the ads. I couldn't tell if I was reimbursed or not. On the live chat you can email yourself the conversation, I'm hoping that will save me time when I contact them again. Thanks Me1620 I checked Origin and it shows I haven't been. That was an amazing amount of ads then. Happy Day.
Congrats on the amazing amount of ads, scillakees. And if they seemed at least willing to reimburse you, I should maybe try that as well. Did they ask you for anything? Maybe I could prepare some screenshots or something before I contact them.
For 571 points I would. I shouldn't think you would need screen shots, they can see your account and should be able to see you have the other purchases. I had a hard time communicating with her. I told her about the green download button and gave her the dates that I bought Show Stopping Styles and the Hypnotizer. She told me that it takes 24-48 hours for the transaction to complete and to contact them again later. She gave me a ticket number for my issue. I did email myself the conversation just in case I need it next time.

I had a hard time getting my point across when I tried to get earlier stuff fixed as well, which is why I didn't immediately try to contact anybody. And my purchase history is extremely bloated, because I have about 15 pages of gifts in there. I hope you get your points back and I will see, if I find the energy to try and deal with that later today myself.
Well, I don`t know what happened to all the quotes I had posted while trying to catch up with the thread --- they are gone
No chance to read the pages again.
I remember that I wanted to tell @Jenna that your fire pit area is awesome! It has a very unique style.
@Cogitotoro, I had the same heavy load ad problem when I clicked on one of those wonderful ad buttons.
I had an awesome run of ads after buying Seeing Stars from the DD page. I almost got back all the SimPoints I spent this morning.
I don't think getting a CS person on the phone is available here

I used the hotline number and got a problem solved! Try it!
congrats to those who got seeing stars for such a good deal! if my baby had woken me in time for it i may have bought it, because i got a good run of ads today. i'm not too bummed about missing it, though, so it's probably all for the best. i can get it in a few months on the next go around
@awellenbl i encourage you to try to get those points back! not for the points themselves, but for the principle! @tahera thank you for posting the german help info for awelle-- i get a kick out of seeing the language! since i'm not a student anymore, i don't get much opportunity for exposure to other languages, so i always appreciate it.
@Tahera I didn't know that. Thank you so much for that information. Talking on the phone might be a lot easier. And it's great to hear they are able to resolve problems.
@Radlee I am so glad you had a good run of ads as well. It's really great to hear they are showing up for more people. Hopefully that stays that way or gets even better at least until the holidays. I love the Christmas ads, which have started to show up, because I really love Christmas.
Wow...lots to catch up on overnight and sure I missed stuff as I'm reading, getting ready for work, eating breakfast, sipping coffee all at the same time.
I'm in the 40+ age group. I've been gaming since Atari and KingsQuest on my brothers home built computer from a kit. We used slide rulers in school and calculators were banned in math class.
@awellenbl, I didn`t see your post earlier, sorry.
You are very welcome and I really hope that the German CS will help you, too. If not, you might want to ask for a supervisor. The woman I was talking to had to ask a supervisor before she could help me.
It's funny, I did not know what that Green Day album title meant or that it was anything "improper" until I saw some people using the word on TV a couple days ago and figured it out. And now the topic comes up again . I have the album though and love it. Now I'm wondering if this gap in my vocabulary is really alarming and everyone else has always known what it meant
I have been real busy but, sure appreciate you all for keeping up on this. Finally got a few more ads and points to start stalking again. My daughter laughed out loud when she asked me what to get me for Christmas and I said SimPoints!
@Radlee Thank you for the Spellbound Diary that you gifted me. It's strange that I never got an email saying that I got gifted but I see that I got gift on the site. That helped bring Faire Folk Slumber price down to 15 for me. I managed to finish off that set now.
I did finally get a lot of ads last night and probably would have gotten more if I wasn't tired and searched more. I managed to get 115 points yesterday. 5 points yesterday morning and the rest late last night. 65 points showed up overnight. All my ads where the small business saturday ads except for 2 or 3. I hope that this happens again. That was quite a surprise. I even broke my record for most ads earned at home. I had to switch from firefox to chrome for the ads since they weren't showing up on firefox.
Congratulations to everybody else who found a lot of ads last night and got a lot of points.
Store owner since 4/11/15.
I hope everybody has a wonderful day. Aka: Jennifer

Another Sierra Adventure Game fan? The first computer game I ever played was Kings Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella. My dad and I were at Radio Shack, and I saw the game box on display there. I asked him if we could get it (because the picture had a unicorn in it!). He said no, and we left. But guess what I got for Christmas that year?
The year before that, my oldest sister (who was a teacher) had bought me an Apple II computer to play educational games on. Well, I'd never been too interested in that, but when I started playing "Rosella", I got VERY interested in using computers!
(I think it was educational, in its own way. I mean, I had to type, spell, read, solve problems using logic, draw maps... And I had to improve my writing/composition skills too; with subsequent games, my parents made me write letters to the Hint Department whenever I got stuck. I usually had to write at least two for every game I played. So I guess computer gaming wasn't the worst thing I could have been doing with my spare time back then.)
But I've been hooked on PC gaming ever since then, and now MY daughter is playing "Rosella" at the same age I was when I first played through it. So I've created a monster! It's funny though, because she says it looks "kinda Minecraft-y". When I played it, the graphics and sound were considered to be "state of the art". I'm only in my early thirties, but I feel old hearing the games I once enjoyed in my childhood referred to now as "digital antiques"... Ah, those were the "good ol' days"!
My store tabs keep offering me blue ad buttons that, when opened, give me that message, "We're sorry, this offer is no longer available." Over and over again. Makes me want to say, "You don't seem to have sent yourselves the same memo!"
@ spreadsheet team - clocking in. Everything is caught up. I'll stick around and update as long as I can today.
Last night when I went to bed my sp total was reading 989 no matter how many ads I clicked. I just kept clicking them until almost 2:30 when they disappeared. This morning I have 2693 sp. I am floored. Thanks EA. I do not take back the not-so-kind things I have said about you, because they are true, but I will revise them to be slightly more kind.
a.k.a. Samantha (though Sam is just fine, too. Also, Simmantha, according to my husband.)
Thanks to a lot of amazing sim friends I have owned the store for a while now. If you'd like to help out a really good friend of mine who just started playing the game, here is his wishlist. Thanks!
@Cogitotoro, you made me laugh again!
I`ve seen that, too but 5 minutes later, I`ve got another working ad.
I want to thank Smart (this is an ad for a car) for their generous amount of ads today.
Somehow I`m afraid that the contracts with the sponsors will end soon and that EA is giving away the rest of the sponsored SimPoints.

Hmmmm.....Man Cave Compilation not on the top of my list but, I have 36% of it and my price is 1505. Might be worth stalking in case I can get it very inexpensively. Ya Think?
