After weeks of frustration, I've finally figured out how to do these dreaded BigBrandGiveaway offers. What used to take me about 15 minutes now takes me less than 5. I've made a video to show everyone how:

There's a full guide in the description of the video but I'll copy and paste it here for those who don't wanna watch me actually complete an offer.
Detailed Guide for BigBrandGiveaway and similar offers. GUARANTEED SUCCESS!!
These offers were pretty frustrating at first since it used to take me 10 minutes to do them and it would never give me my credit. But since then, I've figured out its secrets and will share them with you today!
1. Always be sure to clear your cookies before each offer. Most offers use the same sponsors so you might not get credit if you already have data saved with a same sponsor from a previous offer.
2. I recommend using Mozilla Firefox for doing these offers. At the end, you'll have to be clicking on a lot of links so it's better to just have firefox open a bunch of tabs and have all your Rewards1 business in one big Firefox window. Also, I've noticed that firefox is much faster than IE.
3. The main reason why I wasn't getting credited at first for BigBrandGiveaway offers was because I kept using the same email address for all the different offers. BBG uses a email tracker, so be sure to use a different email each time. They don't send any confirmation email so any spam email will do. An email with the form "_____@spam.la" works very well. www.spam.la is a domain that hosts almost any email ending with "@spam.la" and all you have to do is go to spam.la to check any email sent to that account. My trick for these is to use a bunch of numbers in your fake email in order to ensure that no one else has used that email before for BBG. For example, using an email such as "hy777er@spam.la" will be perfect since I'm sure no one else has entered it before.
4. If you've done a lot of offers, you're used to seeing the long list of "yes/no" offer lists like the one at 1:09 if the video. These used to be such a pain since I had to click the "no" button each time and it would take over a minute to complete the page. However, these pages have now become my FAVORITE since I've learned a new trick. All you have to do is say yes to the first offer (other guides say you have to say yes to the first 3, but only one yes is necessary) and then keep alternating pressing TAB and the right arrow button. This method automatically chooses "no" for any unmarked buttons and moves any "yes" buttons to "no." Now these pages only take about 5 seconds to complete!
5. Once you reach the last pages, you have to select offers to do for the silver, gold, and sometimes platinum offers. You DO NOT need to complete these offers. Simply click on the icon/link and just leave the page open so they think that you completed it. I click on the same links each time and they all seem to work. For Silver, I usually click on Columbia House DVD and Vioderm, the 3rd and 4th links on the page, respectively. For Gold, I click on Posterpass and Overnight Genius, the 5th and 6th links respectively. And for Platinum, I click on Godaddy.com and Roadloans, the 3rd and 4th links on the page. By clicking these exact links, I get credit EACH TIME.
6. After clicking on all of those extra links, a bunch of little popup boxes will come up telling you that you are leaving the offer website or something. [UPDATE: Make sure that this popup comes up! If your popup blocker is on, you will not get credit! The website needs this popup to come up to make sure you went onto the sponsor's website. But once the popup comes, you can close it immediately.]
7. Leave your Firefox window with all the tabs open for about 10-20 minutes. The good thing about firefox is that you can just close this one window and start up another one to do other things. Check back later to see if you got credited. Usually your credits show up within 15 minutes.
NOTE: Remember to clear cookies before doing each offer!!
Hope this guide was helpful. If you guys wouldn't mind, please visit my video and rate it or leave comments letting me know if there should be further clarification or if you'd like me to explain how to do any other types of offers!
Thanks!!
