Entrecard Credit Transfer Glitch

I don’t have plan of writing about entrecard this early, I do write about Entrecard every end of the month and thank my top droppers at the same time. I already sent 300 ec credits each to 3 top winners, see image below:

ectransaction

Please take note of the date, Oct. 1. I tried sending 2 x 300 = 600 and 2 x 200 = 400 , a total of 1000 ec credit this morning. I’m aware of the maximum transfer of 1000 ec credit or 14 transfer a week, whichever comes higher… but my last transfer was Oct. 1, how come I cannot transfer EC credits now? I still have to transfer 2,000 ec credits to contest participants.

This is the first time I have a contest, I’m having second thoughts on running contests again in the future. With this glitch, I thought how can I make it possible to make EC credits as prizes. Take note that the contest runs for only 2 weeks (Glitch Anniversary Contest) and ended last Sept. 30, winners are announced in October 1 (Anniversary Contest Winners) and Entrecard started cutting the transfer in Sept 29.

To the participants, everyone were listed and I never forget that I owe you. I consider this as a small contest and tried handling the transfer myself but the “transfer glitch” is beyond my control. My apologies.

What to do in this situation?

  • Users running large contests should contact support via their dashboard – I’m still waiting for their response, all I need is to transfer 2,000 entrecard credits for this week.
  • Did you know that Entrecard already have contest coordinator? I emailed Rose and also waiting for the response. You could email her at contests@entrecard.com. Please read the link below before emailing her.
  • For future contests, please read Entrecard Contest Machine

Who says I will not run contest again? That depends on Entrecard response to my problem.

Update 10.14.08: EC credits were sent through admin Ben Barden. It is advisable to contact Entrecard admin on your ec dashboard. No replied received from Rose, the contest coordinator. I’m glad, problem solved. :D

Glitch's 1st Anniversary Contest

Happy BirthdayMobile eBooks Etc started in September 12, 2007 with the first post “Why Glitch?” but my permalink is hello world 2. :D It was indeed a simple post, for the sake of making an initial post. That time, I wasn’t new to blogging stuff since I moblog (mobile blog) way back in year 2004 with contents related also to mobile ebooks. My old blog provider became too unreliable because of many blog hackers. That’s a long and different story.

Blogging in the real blogosphere is a never ending process. I became preoccupied learning the “basics of blogging”. Actually, I started blogging at wordpress.com and eventually got the PR5 until I decided to moved to my own domain and a web host, January 8, 2008. Obviously, I lost my PageRank and got a PR4 last May 1 and become a PR3 two months ago. Looking back and analyzing how am I doing on blogging about mobile ebooks and other related stuff, I could say that I learned a lot from my mistakes, gained friends, share what I have but as I’ve said blogging is a never ending process. This blog is still my baby and my “guinea pig”. LOL

I am not a full time blogger, I have my personal blog, glitchline which happens to be updated every 2-3 days just like this blog and used to be on blogspot. Since this month is my 1st year anniversary, I don’t have much to give but a domain name and link ads. If your blog provider is blogspot, this is your chance to have your own domain. Your chosen domain name depends on the availability.

Prizes at stake:
1st prize – a domain name (convertible to cash)
2nd price – 125×125 ad at Mobile eBooks for 1 month
3rd price – 125×125 ad at glitchline for 1 month
4th prize – txt link ad at Mobile eBooks for 1 month
5th prize – txt link ad at glitchline for 1 month

Mechanics:

  1. Blog about the contest indicating the prizes and link to this post, a link to Mobile eBooks Etc and to glitchline = 6 points

  3. Comment on any of my posts on Mobile eBooks and glitchline = 1 point (Comments are moderated, post a relevant comment and you earn a point)

I haven’t thought that I could reach my 1st blog birthday. There were times that I became too busy of my private life and can’t even think of a better post related to my niche. Help me improve more by joining my mini contest. Good luck!

Contests… contest… contest! Too many contests I’ve read when I card dropping my entrecard. Well, I’ve read before from my favorite blogger that joining contest is “healthy blogging”. There’s no win or lose, its always win, win and win! Why? New bloggers needs exposure to blogosphere, win or lose, they will have exposure in a way. And that really matters.

Juliana will be celebrating her 1st year of blogging on July 19, 2008. This is her first time to run a contest to celebrate her anniversary and this is my first time to join. Its a good way to celebrate! I hope the experience will be fun even if I have butterflies on my tummy. hehe..
