House Rules
WELCOME TO HOME CLICKIN
Homeclickin.com is a free membership rewards family site. Members may click their way to rewarding themselves towards Gift Certificates, Park Hopper Passes or Prizes. Homeclickin was not created just to be a rewards program. It's so much more! It was created based around a home-like atmosphere, for comfort. Organized and laid out for merchants and advertisers to be found quick and easy. We have a wonderful resource page for our members to use for their everyday needs. We have a place to go to meet our members and for our members to meet other members. We created homeclickin.com to bring members and advertisers together to feel very comfortable to shop, and to stop daily. All this and much more under one roof!
You will definitely find things very different here. So please go on to read all the House Rules. Every family has them! We might just have a few more than the normal household.
1.Who can join?
We are looking for men and women, young and old, that are fun loving people who enjoy earning great rewards. You must be over 18 years old! All members must live in the United States or Canada, for now. Also, you must have a valid e-mail address. One membership per person!
2.How many accounts per household?
You may have up to 2 people per household, as long as they both have different IP addresses. One person per computer per IP addresses, and have a separate valid e-mail address.
3.How does it work?
We have sponsors and advertisers that will pay us to give QUALITY visits to their websites. After visiting, and you want to buy or sign up for something, we in return, will pay you a percentage of it in points.
Home Clickin offers our members two options to work towards. One is points, when you earn enough to redeem you have a choice of Gift Certificates, or Disney Park Hopper passes. Second choice, is collecting Dust Bunnies. These are only redeemable for prizes. A member might want to go for both, Gift certificates and Prizes. The choice is yours!
4.What are points?
Points are the reward currency used by homeclickin. Points have no money value. They can only be used to purchase Gift Certificates, and Disney Park Hopper passes, here at homeclickin. You can earn points by doing various activities on our site.
5.How long until my points are credited?
The daily sponsor visits and, referrals will be automatic. Other points such as newsletters, sign ups, surveys, and shopping need to be verified with sponsors or merchants before getting those points. You will see those points in your pending area on your account summary page. Points will be taken out of pending as soon the sponsors or merchants confirm it with us, anywhere from 1-6 weeks.
6.Miscellaneous Details
Bonuses, contests, and games will show up in your miscellaneous account for special actions throughout the year.
7.Pending Detail Points
These points are waiting for merchants or advertisers to pay us for an action that you have performed, like a response from a survey, newsletter, offer, and shopping... These points will be moved from pending, as soon as we hear from the
merchants or advertisers, and moved to their proper area on the detailed account summary page.
8.What are Dust Bunny pts?
Dust Bunnies will work differently than our point system. They will be redeemable for gifts only! No Disney Park Hopper Passes, or Gift Certificates. Dust bunnies will be collected throughout the house, you never know where those Dust Bunnies will show up. Dust Bunny value will be located next to the merchants link. Dust Bunnies have their own page. You will be able to find everything you need to keep track of them. They are: total redeemable points, pending dust bunny points, miscellaneous and deductable dust bunny points. You will also find the prizes for redeeming your Dust Bunnies. So, after you have collected dust bunnies, they will go to your Dust Bunny pending detail section, until the sponsor, merchant, have verified your action. Once the sponsor, merchant has cleared, they will be removed from pending. When you have collected enough Dust Bunnies to redeem for a prize, e-mail us at: HomeTeam@homeclickin.com and subject Dust Bunnies. Send us your name and ID# along with the prize you want in exchange for your Dust Bunnies. Remember to send all inquiries for Dust Bunnies to the HomeTeam@homeclickin.com. Subject Dust Bunnies for faster reply.
Now, I need your help in keeping this house clean. So please, try and gather as many Dust Bunnies as you can. Dust Bunnies will never show up on the Summary page.

Visiting Websites
14.Our Merchants, Advertisers and Sponsors
We have great merchants and advertisers right now and more to come. Our sponsors make it possible for us to bring our members homeclickin. In return, our merchants, and advertisers deserve the high quality participation from our members when visiting and shopping through our site to theirs. We also give our merchants and advertisers many pages of a well-categorized layout, to show their merchandise on.
15.Sponsors site of the day
a) Go thru earn door

c) Stay on for 30 seconds to give proper showing time
d) Open only one frame at a time
When visiting our daily merchants & advertisers, we want to give them quality viewing time. You may visit any advertiser any day of the week, but will only get viewing pts. for that specific day. Point value will never be the same from day to day. Some links will be a floater. So, some days you will receive a point for viewing a advertiser and some days you won't. This page will not only be for viewing points, it will also have special promotions, & for Welcoming our new merchants to Homeclickin.
Reward pts. for purchases or offers will be credited as usual, no matter what day it actually is. Points for purchases or offers will be located next to their link.

Yes, you can earn points for shopping through our
site. We have many great merchants to choose from, -
retail and bookstores and alot of different, fun and
unique stores. You must go through them all, just to
see what they have to offer. I am sure there is more
than one item for everyone. Points given will be next
to the merchants link. If returning your purchase
after shopping through homeclickin and the merchant
deducts their percentage from us for your return, then
naturally, we will deduct our points given to you for
that purchase.To receive proper credit when using a merchants
shopping cart, you need to click the merchants link
through HC & then fill your cart. If you come into HC
after your cart has been filled, credit will go
elsewhere. You must forward a confirmation to us at

or the Home Team. You will not receive proper credit,
If using outside coupon codes. Please,use only our

17.Signups and Special Offers
If you sign up for free sweepstakes drawings, special offers,..… follow their instructions, because they are all so different. They might offer free prizes, games, gifts, etc. just for registering. Please sign up for offers that you are truly interested in. Never sign up to a program that you have done before, or still a member of. Do not do signups, enter multiple times, or cancel before even receiving the product. Always use the same e-mail address you signed up with at HC. Don't do more than 5 different offers a day (for crediting reasons). Offers and trials are a one time deal, unless marked otherwise. Number of points, Dust Bunnies and information will be available at their link. Forward confirmation to confirmation@homeclickin.com.
18.Surveys
Surveys are another great way of earning extra cash. By signing up through homeclickin you also receive points. You will receive a different amount of points for different surveys. Some surveys will be taken here at HC. One time only, unless otherwise specified! Some surveys you will sign up through their link on Homeclickin. After that, they will work directly with you, and e-mail you other surveys. When taking a survey you must first qualify for them. If they say you do, take your time in answering the questions. Continue taking the survey until you get a thank you, congratulations page, or something to that effect. That is telling you that you are done. Surveys want your opinion on all areas of interest. Usually surveys require name, address, e-mail address, and some even age and phone number. Others just your name and e-mail. The amount of points you will receive will be located near the survey link.
Forward a confirmation to confirmation@homeclickin.com.
19.Newsletters
This is an easy way of adding points to your account. They also are a great way of gaining information and knowing the changes that are happening on your favorite sites. Please forward a confirmation to confirmation@homeclickin.com.
The decision is yours in what you want from these sign ups. Shopping, newsletters, surveys, contest and special offers are a great way to earn those points. They will add up fast! Please remember to use correct information, valid e-mail address, and forward us a confirmation to confirmation@homeclickin.com for all actions done through homeclickin within a 1 week period. Note: After completion of an offer or survey, some companies send a confirmation e-mail to you. You must click on that e-mail, to confirm your address. It verifies that you and your address are valid.
20.Searches
Need to find something on the Internet? Please use the search engines if you need to make a valid search. A valid search is when you put a valid word into the search engine and submit. Then you must click on one result to make it a valid search. Please wait for the pages to fully load. One search per search engine only! Have alot of searching to do? Please try out our many search engines, not just one. The search engines are very important to our site and for bonuses throughout the year. No individual points will be given.
Make sure at least 24 hours passes before conducting another search from the same search engines.
21.Members Shop
On this page we will be carrying merchandise from only our family members here at homeclickin. After looking through the shops and you want to place an order, fill out the special order form on homeclickin for the Members Shop Only. If you don’t fill out a members form for your order, you will NOT receive credit. These directions only pertain to the Members Shop page. This page works differently than our other advertisements. Homeclickin will then send the order to the merchant. Now, if you are a member and want to advertise on this page, forward us your link to membersshop@homeclickin.com of your website and give us a brief description, and of the merchandise you are selling. After that it goes up for approval, and if it is approved, we will send you an agreement. Then, if you agree we will put up your link on our members shopping page. It's that easy! The only thing is we are only starting with 5-10 businesses at first.
22.Good Luck Friday
This day works differently. Good Luck Friday is going to be our contest day. No individual points will be given on this day. It's free to play! We will have "x" amount of sponsors to visit on this page. For each sponsor you visit, you get one entry to our drawing. You may click on one or all sponsors, but only one visit per sponsor. The choice is yours to how many entries you want to put in. Lets say you visit "3" sponsors on the page, you will have "3" chances of winning. By chance if you put in 3 entries and your name comes out twice, you will win 2 x's the amount and so on... You may try your luck on as many entries as you wish on the Friday page. It's all up to you. But only one time per link! Purchases, orders, or offers you do on this page on Friday gives you an extra entry to the contest. Forward confirmation for all orders, purchases, or offers performed by you to hometeam@homeclickin.com. Confirmations have to be received no later than the following Monday before noon.
Winners will be chosen at random. On Tuesday, winners will be posted in our clubhouse. The amount, or prize, you have won will be under Good Luck Friday in your account. As our site grows, so will the numbers, and depending on the game popularity.
Please read rules on Good Luck Friday page.
How to Earn EXTRA Points
23.Refer a friend
If you want to refer a friend, please go to the refer a friend page. One way of referring is by conversation. We have provided a link, to go to, where you can print out business-like cards to pass out, for easier referrals, when you are out and about. We would love to welcome your friends to our family. You also need to make sure your friend puts in your ID# to get proper credit for joining them, otherwise, there is no way of knowing who referred them and it cannot be changed! Here at HC we feel both the referral and referee deserve points for joining our family. So, when your referral reaches 400 points in his/her account, you will receive 30 points. When your referral reaches 800 points in his/her account, you get another 30 points, and your referral will get 20 points. Now, when your referral gets their account up to 2,500 points, you will receive 50 points, and again your referral will also receive 20 more points. ONE TIME ONLY PER REFERRAL! (Meaning when a referral cashes out, it does not start up again. ONE TIME ONLY!) There are alot of points to be earned for both parties.
24.Game Room
Well, It's just that! Whether it's trivia, taking a poll or playing a game. It's just for fun!
25.Surprises
If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise (LOL)
26.Last, But not Least--------YOU!
Yes, You can earn points, just for being you!
Redeem
27.Verified Members
To redeem you must be a verified member. A verified member is a member that has been proven to be a real person. Programs are finding too many ghost members (not real, fake, non-existing…) Because of them we are having to verify our members.
To become a verified member you must sign up for a newsletter, offer, or sign up that will be sent to your e-mail address. (Please, remember to use your same
e-mail address through-out homeclickin). You must make a purchase through homeclickin from one of our merchants, and have your order sent to your home address. Once you make a purchase and a sign up you will be a verified member, and your name will go on the Family Tree. By you being a verified member, I don’t have to be a ghost buster. Our merchants and advertisers will trust that our sign ups and purchases are real, and the verified members will also be guaranteed their rewards, because all of our work and money will not be going out to ghost accounts. It’s going to keep homeclickin up and members paid. Ghost members are becoming a problem for programs today. So, with us being a new program we feel it’s best for all to be verified right from the start. We would like to thank all of our members for understanding why we feel so strong in taking this step in being a verified member. To help you become a verified member we would like to give you double the points, on your first single purchase only. Any purchase after, goes back to the original points given.
When you make your first purchase here at HC, Please Let me know, either post it or a quick e-mail, so I can give you Double Points for your First Purchase. 1,000 point max.
You cannot use the First Purchase double point bonus,with any bonus....
28.How many points are needed to redeem?
Members must reach 2,800 points in their account before redeeming for the first time. After that, anytime your account has the right amount of points, go to the redeem page for our reward and earnings chart. You may redeem in the following months: February, May, August and November as long as the amount and requirements are met.
29.How do I redeem points?
When you have earned enough points to redeem for the first time, are a verified member, and have over 2,800 points, you go to the redeem page. Select a reward and submit or send an e-mail, depending on the reward chosen.
You will find your redemption pending points in your account summary. These points are put here automatically after making redemption. Before redeeming, please check that all information is correct in your profile. Failure to have correct information will be a loss of gifts. Some of our gifts and rewards come thru the postal system. If you are a member living in Canada, please go to the redeem page and click on top where it says Canadian redemption and it will bring you to another page.
30.Redeem Pending Points
These points are waiting for approval to redeem. These are found on the Summary outline on the top part of the page.

If found, your account will be terminated! By not gaining your points legally it is not fair to our honest fair playing members, to our sponsors nor to Homeclickin.
36.Spamming

You are not to flood the message boards, blogs, bulletin boards, news groups, and e-mails with Homeclickin referral links. Any member caught spamming will have their accounts with Homeclickin closed. All points, gifts, or prizes you have at that time will also be terminated. Spamming is illegal and will not be tolerated here at Homeclickin. Any member caught will be held liable with a fee for each e-mail, and/or referral link sent in mass amounts.
