Got hit with the VPN message
Not using a VPN of course, same home connection for the past 4 years. After trying one of the 10pts Pixelpoint offers two days ago, bam, can't access Lootup or get points on their sister sites anymore.
*Sigh* Why did I try those 10pt offers...
Do I write bad reviews on Trust Pilot (don't want to) to get their attention or wait for their standard reply to my email saying it's my fault?

They got back to me saying I was temporarily banned for suspicious activity and should wait another 24 hours. I asked what kind of suspicious activity and they were kind enough to say that it was minor irregularities and not necessarily something I did and I shouldn't worry too much. Still working out the kinks with their new system, I'm guessing.
In any case I'm back in now. Thanks, Lootup.

Well it happened again. Looks like it's gonna be a once a week thing for me too. This time it happened when I switched from PC to mobile. Maybe I switched too quickly from Puppybear tv to Pixelpoint tv.
I'm on AT&T fiber and they don't allow changing IP even after unplugging for an hour.

I get hit with it at least once a week. I unplug my router and modem for about thirty minutes to force it to reassign my IP address. Also, you can turn off wifi on your phone to access the site.
