Offer tracking test: check whether your offers will credit

This free tool checks whether offers and cashback will actually track in the browser you are using right now, then tells you how to fix anything that would block your credit. It runs in your browser with no login and no email, and it reflects how tracking really works in 2026, when a setup that paid last year can quietly drop credits today.

Why do offers stop tracking in 2026?

Because the browser you already use now blocks much of what offers rely on, and it does that by default, without you changing a thing.

When you tap an offer link, the site you land on has to recognize that the click came from you, so it can pay the right person. Over the past few years Safari, Firefox, Brave, Samsung Internet, DuckDuckGo, and Edge all switched on stronger privacy protections. In 2026 several of the signals that tie your click to your reward get scrubbed, shortened, or thrown away before the credit is recorded.

The frustrating part is that nothing looks broken. The offer loads, you finish every step, and the reward simply never shows up. Even the cookies that do get set now expire within days, so a click on Monday can be forgotten by the time a slow offer credits over the weekend. This page checks the signals it can see in your browser and tells you which ones are missing.

Does Safari block affiliate and offer links?

Yes. Safari strips the identifying tags off links as you follow them, through a feature called Link Tracking Protection that has been on by default since 2023 and has tightened since.

Offer links, like affiliate links, usually carry a short code in the address, something close to a click ID, that tells the destination which click to credit. Safari removes those codes on purpose. Firefox in strict mode, Brave, and DuckDuckGo do much the same thing. The link still opens the right page, but the one detail that would have earned your credit is already gone.

There is a second Safari habit worth knowing about. Offer links often bounce through a redirect or two before they land, and Safari now treats those middle stops as trackers and deletes any cookie they set. So even a click that starts clean can lose its trail on the way through. The click-ID check on this page looks for exactly this.

Do ad blockers stop cashback from tracking?

They can. An ad blocker's whole job is to stop tracking scripts from loading, and the small pixel that records your offer click often looks just like the trackers it is built to remove.

When that pixel is blocked, the offer has no record that you clicked, so there is nothing for it to credit. Blockers built into a browser and popular blocker extensions are the usual cause, and this page flags when one is likely in the way.

One kind of blocker hides from a web page entirely: the network-level sort like Pi-hole, NextDNS, and AdGuard DNS. Those work before the browser loads, so a page cannot test them reliably. We cover how to handle them in the advice below.

Why do offers fail when I open them inside apps like Instagram or TikTok?

Because you are not really in your normal browser. A link tapped inside Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Snapchat, or a similar app opens in a small built-in browser that the app controls.

These in-app browsers often cannot store cookies the way a full browser does, they lose their data the moment you swipe the window away, and they do not always carry your logged-in session. An offer that needs to remember you from the first click through to the finish can lose the thread partway.

The fix takes a few seconds. Open the link in your real browser instead. Most in-app browsers have a menu, usually three dots or a share arrow in a corner, with an option worded like Open in Browser, Open in Safari, or Open in Chrome.

Things this test can’t see, and how to handle them

Turn off iCloud Private Relay while you complete offers

iCloud Private Relay hides your IP address by routing Safari traffic through Apple's servers. Because many offer partners check that your click and your completion come from the same place, a hidden address can cost you the credit.

This page now checks for Private Relay for you, so the tool will flag it when it is switched on. If you would rather turn it off yourself, the steps are below. You only need it off while you complete an offer, and you can switch it back on afterward.

  1. Turn it off everywhere: open Settings, tap your name at the top, tap iCloud, tap Private Relay, and switch it off.
  2. For Wi-Fi only: open Settings, tap Wi-Fi, tap the info icon next to your network, and switch off Limit IP Address Tracking.
  3. For cellular: open Settings, tap Cellular, tap Cellular Data Options, and switch off Limit IP Address Tracking.
  4. Turn Private Relay back on once your offer has credited, if you want it.

If you run a network blocker like Pi-hole or NextDNS

This is the one setup a web page genuinely cannot test for you. Network-level blockers such as Pi-hole, NextDNS, AdGuard DNS, or a filter built into your router work before the browser loads, quietly refusing to connect to any host on their block lists.

From inside a page we cannot tell a host you blocked apart from a host that is simply slow to answer. If one of these drops an offer partner's tracking host, the offer can look finished on your side while nothing was recorded. So before you complete an offer, allowlist the hosts it needs.

  1. Open your blocker's dashboard: the Pi-hole admin page, your NextDNS account, AdGuard Home, or your router's filtering settings.
  2. Load the offer page and watch the query log for any request that shows up as blocked.
  3. Add those hosts to your allowlist, or pause filtering for the device you are using.
  4. If you are not sure which hosts to allow, complete offers on a connection that does not run a network blocker, such as mobile data.

App-install offers a browser test cannot see

App-install offers are the half of this that no web page can check, because the tracking happens inside your phone's operating system rather than the browser. These offers pay when a genuinely new install of an app is tied back to your click, and a few phone settings decide whether that link holds.

Set these before you tap the offer, not after, and keep everything on one device from the click through to the finish.

  1. On iPhone, allow tracking: open Settings, tap Privacy and Security, tap Tracking, turn on Allow Apps to Request to Track, then tap Allow when the app asks.
  2. On Android, keep your advertising ID working: open Settings, tap Google, tap Ads, and leave Opt out of Ads personalization switched off. Do not delete or reset the advertising ID around the time of an offer.
  3. Install the app from the official App Store or Play Store, and open it through the offer link rather than searching the store yourself.
  4. Only a genuinely new install counts. If this device has ever had the app before, even years ago, most offers will not credit.
  5. Stay on one device the whole way through. Skip any VPN or proxy, and do not switch accounts partway.

Common questions

Why didn't my offer credit?

Most often the click that should have paid you never reached the offer partner, because your browser stripped the tracking code, an ad blocker blocked the pixel, or the cookie expired before you finished. A VPN, a network-level blocker, or completing an offer you have done before are the other usual causes. If the offer still shows as completed but nothing arrived, wait 72 hours, then raise it with the offerwall that hosted it.

Does a VPN stop offers from tracking?

Usually, yes. Most offer partners read a hidden or mismatched location as a red flag and hold back the credit, so a VPN or proxy is a common reason an offer is rejected. Turn it off before you click, keep it off through the whole offer, and switch it back on afterward if you like.

Is this tool safe, and do you store my data?

The checks run inside your own browser, and we do not store your results. There is no account and no login involved. Emailing yourself a copy of the results is the one optional step that uses an email address, and you never have to use it.

Do I need an account or email to run the test?

No. The tool is free and starts the moment you open the page, with no sign-up, login, or email required. An email is used only if you choose to have your results sent to you.

Can this test see a network blocker like Pi-hole or NextDNS?

No, and that is the honest limit of any web-based check. Blockers that work at the network level, including Pi-hole, NextDNS, and AdGuard DNS, can drop an offer partner's tracking host before the page even loads, where a browser cannot observe them. If you run one, allowlist the offer hosts or complete offers on a connection without it.

Is it risky to turn off tracking protection to complete an offer?

No. The settings this tool suggests changing only affect whether offer partners can recognize your click. They have nothing to do with your passwords or your bank details. Change them while you complete the offer, then set them back whenever you like.

Does passing this test guarantee my offer will credit?

No test can promise that. This one checks the tracking signals your browser exposes and flags what would block a credit, but it cannot see network-level blockers, in-app settings, or an offer partner's own approval rules. Passing means your browser is set up correctly, which clears the most common reasons offers fail.

My offer says completed but nothing showed up. What should I do?

Give it a full 72 hours first, since plenty of credits, especially weekend ones and slow mobile-game offers, arrive on their own inside that window. If it still has not landed, contact the offerwall that hosted the offer with your completion details, screenshots, and device advertising ID. The offerwall makes the crediting decision, so that is where the ticket belongs.
