I have 3 referrals in MobileCore and I occasionally monitor the percentage of their impressions until the next level of bonus for me.
One of them was gradually increasing around 1% every 2-3 days towards the first prize of USD100. Last time I had checked it was at 10%.
Today I check and it is shown as 1% only. Seems it cannot be that it reached the first level and is now at 1% towards the next because I see Zero at Total Earned.
Is there some referral rule that I do not know, something which possibly triggers a “restart” in the impressions count towards the next prize?
Do you know when I reach 1 million impression, both me and my friend received the next bonus (400USD) or only my friend (who I joined via his referral link) get the bonus?
After this thread I was contacted to my email from my account manager. She said that referral impressions are OK. I guess they had a problem with the percentages - however, if I were you, I would contact them at once. You are so near the first bonus, it is unfair to lose it.
By the way, mC is back. I had a nice little revenue surge yesterday and today and eCPM for the week jumped up to 2USD. I hope you all got some rise in your revenues too.
I’m checking this as an urgent priority with my dev team, and will come back to you shortly.
What I can tell you with certainty, is that we never tamper with numbers – we do not physically have this ability. Perhaps there was a bug which didn’t pull data correctly, but before I jump to any conclusions, let me check this thoroughly with the team here and come back to you with an informed answer.
Early yesterday morning, our dev team discovered a bug in the way we had been counting your referred publishers statistics.
It means that for example; in Lxxxs Cxxxxxxo account, we had counted 2 x as many impressions as he had actually served, and this is why the bonus was much higher last week, than what you see this week.
I know this is really horrible news. If need be, I can show you data of his traffic, so you know what his real impression count was, you would notice that we had counted 2 x more impressions for each referred publisher account.
I’m sincerely sorry for the confusion that was caused.
Let me know if you have any questions.

I think this bug will give me more money… I have already received the $3.5k bonus but now after the reset I am about to receive again another $3.5k bonus with 20% remaining impressions… hihi
same thing happened to my another friends on the list and there are 5 of them that I have already received $400 each before and now after the reset I’m about to receive again $400 from each of them with 30% remaining impressions… LOL
I have referrals that I actually know them in person and I have been suspecting this bug before because when my friend got only around 500k+ impressions but I got the $400 ref bonus.
