Been doing searches for myself and my other half since I last posted in the thread. Between using a discover CashBack offer, and all the searches (to get Groupon GCs), got my wife the ASUS transformer for nothing recently.
Thanks to OP for reminding me a while ago to BING everyday.

see, it's the simplicity of the google page that people like...I use Google for searches, ask.com for loosely-worded queries, and visit bing for the photos on the search page. Top notch!

personally i have 1 acct. i like getting the points because they're giving them freely. but at the same time i don't want to bump the bing usage too much. i'm still a google user

Is the "helpingsocial" website acting weird for anybody else? After the first search, it reverts to a normal Bing search page and doesn't do the automated searches. It's not a big deal as I can do it faster but was wondering if it was something on my end. I have Adblock, Noscript, and Flashblock on Firefox it that means anything.

It does that if you're logged into your Facebook account, I think. It wants you to "share your searches" with others on FB at times. I always log out of FB so as to not conflict with the Helpingsocial bot, and don't have problems anymore.

Thanks for the tip.
When I logged out of FB, a 2 point task appeared for linking to my FB account. I linked the account, and logged back out to use the helpingsocial bot moving forward.
Just noticed an issue with the "helpingsocial" bot. I usually set it to 40 searches and it always hits the max points (15). The past 2 weeks it seems Bing is not counting some of the searches. After 40 searches it will show 5-6 points still available. Anyone else having this issue? I use it on IE and I only use IE for the Bing searches/points.
I have been a long time bing account holder. I signed my other half up a few months ago. We are both GOLD!
She get double the points everyday, for douing double the searches. In other words, everyday I am told to do 30 searches to get 15 points, while her page says to do 60 to get 30.
Then on double days, my dashboard page says to do 60 to get 30, while hers says to do 120 to get 60.
I am almost tempted to cash out, then close my old account and to start over.
Trying to figure out why or why not to do this....
i haven't had a problem yet with the hackbot. i always open my regular acct first, then open the hackbot. i set it to 40 (on days with 15 possible) and then at the end of the run i refresh my acct screen and it's 15 or so more points
Hackbot stopped working for me in IE this morning because it seems unable to recognize that i'm logged in. Hackbot works fine in Firefox and Chrome. As for the other post regarding varying credits for searches in different accts, my family's accts are all Gold, but I get 30 credits for 90 searches, another member gets 15 credits for 30 searches. Yet another member used to get 30 credits for 60 searches, but recently got "downgraded" to 15 credits for 30 searches with no explanation.
