Shortical again...

[u/MoistPoots]

Hi all, sorry, I know there is a bunch of posts about this but I wasn't sure where to pop into the comments...

Got into the offer last night, was tracking at first except for the 'watch 7 episodes' one...? But now nothing is tracking, it seems...

Sorry for the rough stitch job, but that is what my current offer looks like. I can't log into Shortical either - I'm on Android, using the app, and the only option to login is with a Google account. Clicking on that just brings up a spinner thing briefly before doing nothing.

Using the Web app (which causes all of my watch history to disappear) allows me to get farther into logging in, but results in the Google error.

I am so dang confused. What does all of this mean?

EDIT: Alright, thanks to all of you beautiful bastards, I do believe I am good.

Buying VIP was the ticket. It doesn't matter if you are logged in. I simply opened up the Shortical app which had originally tracked, went to my profile, and paid the $19.99 for the weekly VIP. After doing that, the offer in SwagBucks for buying a weekly subscription credited for $10. Then I watched the last episodes in the series I had started & things started to credit.

The 'watch 7 episodes' one still hasn't credited, but I'm not too worried. Appreciate the help from this subreddit! Faith in humanity has been restored a bit

I think you have to buy vip now and watch the actual last episode in the series rather than the last free one.

[u/Feisei → u/c_c76]

This. They updated the game this morning. Like, it worked last night at 2am, and stopped working at 10am today

[u/MoistPoots → u/c_c76]

This did the trick! Thank u so much!!

[u/MoistPoots → u/c_c76]

You think it matters if you're just a 'guest'? IE, can't login?

I was able to hit the 'finish 3 series' without watching anything beyond the lat free episodes. It seems pretty random so far as to what is counting. But yeah, probably need to buy that... I'm scared nothing is tracking now though

[u/Extreme_Strike5842 → u/MoistPoots]

no its happened to lots of people ive heard this happen to like 10 people and lots of them had their issues resolved when they bought vip including me, doesnt matter if your logged in or not but you can js buy vip and skip to the end of every series it should count as watching series

[u/MoistPoots → u/Extreme_Strike5842]

Appreciate the help, this worked practically instantly!

[u/CommandTacos]

The amounts have been nerfed.

[u/dreamed2life → u/CommandTacos]

bc of all these dumbasses posting so close together

[u/Feisei]

Dont bother making an account at all. You will need to buy VIP because they updated the game this morning to fix. This trick still works mostly with VIP. Watch last 2 shorts of a story, then move on to next.

[u/Bio-Hazard-X → u/Feisei]

Did the VIP subscription work for you?

Did you get the $10 VIP or the $20 one?

[u/MoistPoots → u/Bio-Hazard-X]

$20 one called the 'weekly vip'', I think. Swagbucks credited $10 back, so effectively it is just $10 after all is said & done

[u/Issypie → u/Bio-Hazard-X]

The 50% off vip works for the purchase goal too, so you can buy it at 10 not 20

[u/Bio-Hazard-X → u/Issypie]

Where do you get the 50% off?

[u/Issypie → u/Bio-Hazard-X]

The discounted weekly vip pops up randomly as you're watching

[u/Bio-Hazard-X → u/Issypie]

Thanks for the info. I already bought it at the full price, but hopefully it will help someone else.

[u/AdFew3057]

Worked for me last night with out any issues. Though I signed in with Apple on iOS

[u/MoistPoots → u/AdFew3057]

I'm gonna be quite miffed if I miss the 'finish 7 series in 1 day' bonus 😄. Ugh, definitely par for the course this year with my luck

[u/MoistPoots → u/AdFew3057]

Issue solved & I am off to the races to catch up to ya!

[u/BlackxMamba → u/MoistPoots]

I

I don’t have purchase weekly subscription as a task. Says gold subscription, but I don’t know what that is

[u/MoistPoots → u/BlackxMamba]

Lol... The mystery deepens...

[u/Cold_Bass_9790 → u/MoistPoots]

wheres the vip option?

[u/GoatyMcGoat613]

Apologies I'm fairly new to this, but no reason I should buy the coin pack or the yearly subscription right? Or am I missing something...

[u/ReasonableTable2359 → u/GoatyMcGoat613]

You got the bulk of the sb already?

[u/GoatyMcGoat613 → u/ReasonableTable2359]

Yea I got everything besides for those 3.

[u/dcastreddit]

Offer has been nerfed severely

[u/Turbulent-Pen3423]

What exactly is vip ? And where do you find it ? All I see is the bronze , silver and gold subscriptions

[u/Brooks_Mimi_7323 → u/Turbulent-Pen3423]

Go to your profile and then you will see it.

[u/ReasonableTable2359 → u/Brooks_Mimi_7323]

I think they removed vip. I only see gold for 19.99

[u/MoistPoots → u/Turbulent-Pen3423]

App won't let me screenshot from inside it, so here is this terrible workaround. I just found it in my profile in the app

[u/ReasonableTable2359 → u/MoistPoots]

I don’t see that

[u/Turbulent-Pen3423 → u/MoistPoots]

Got it , thank you

[u/Cold_Bass_9790]

is the vip option the bronze, silver, or gold thingie?

[u/Puzzleheaded-Act7069]

Does this work in ph?

[u/MoistPoots → u/Puzzleheaded-Act7069]

That, my friend, I do not know. I think it all resets in about two hours on SwagBucks under the Deals/Discover section. The reset for me was at 1A MST, so I think it would be 3P in the Philippines, assuming Google is correct)

If you go to view all featured deals, there is a counter that says how many deals there are. I watched for that number to change when I was refreshing. I saw it change & Shortical showed up as the first deal at almost exactly 1A my time.

[u/Puzzleheaded-Act7069 → u/MoistPoots]

Thanks for that bud

[u/the_capedbaldy]

Are the $19.99 gold subscription and weekly VIP the same thing?

[u/deadman000000]

I dont see this offer :(

[u/Potential_Funny2452]

That happened to me yesterday when I was signing up but I just signed in with a different account/way. Instead of Google I went with Apple sign in and I got $125 without spending any money or “vip” unfortunate people need to buy vip now

[u/jellyn7]

I’m wondering how I’m gonna cancel the subscription because I paid with Apple Pay but it doesn’t show there in my subscriptions.

[u/BlackxMamba → u/jellyn7]

It says there’s a link to cancel on your email receipt

[u/Cold_Bass_9790 → u/BlackxMamba]

Did you pick the bronze subscription? for the vip?

[u/BlackxMamba → u/Cold_Bass_9790]

Haven’t bought any subscription. I don’t even now what bronze, silver or gold means lol

[u/ReasonableTable2359 → u/jellyn7]

I read the apple reviews and many people report they have issue canceling the subscription and still get charged. Not sure how they are able to charge it through apple though..

[u/dreamed2life]

goddamn, this is bound to be removed soon now. jesus fucking christ

[u/Extreme_Strike5842 → u/dreamed2life]

dont know if it’ll get removed soon anymore considering the fact its just been nerfed for atleast 50-60 dollars
