Xbox 360 Conga *inactive?* (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=156905)
360 Games & Accessories, Trainn (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=173655)

Want your thread here if it's a general and helpful, non-referral spamming thread? PM me.

[JennyWren]

are you the moderator of this forum? I'm just wondering, because DJSteel convinced me to add him to the Ipod Touch conga, but he isn't even green (plus he didn't sign up under me but I wanted to be nice as he signed up under the wrong conga). I'd like to abide by the rules of this forum, but in my experience people don't get added to a conga just by posting in the wrong thread, and not going green.

One other question - does the conga count as my "one thread" or can I have another? Cheers!

[Foladar]

You are allowed one conga thread, and one referral thread. However, this is within reason, as I don't want people creating a conga thread just "because" as it really is getting out of hand IMO with people making congas and ditching them lately.

[CTHG]

Do you think a new conga could be made if an old one was complete dead for like a few months or something?

[Foladar]

It would depend on the situation .. generally I've been watching the congas since I've been around and if they've gone un-rotated, I've asked someone else to start the conga again, with the same setup, minus the OP and he can no longer make congas because he went inactive, unless there was a good reason of course.

what sites work internationally [europe,FINLAND] ?

[A Yellow Fellow]

okay I have a lot of questions. (I am new to this)
1. What does going green mean?
2. Do referals cost money?
3. If it is a trial can you cancel and get your money back on the referals?
4. How long does it take to get your item. (If I wanted a 360 how long would it take?)
5. Is it worth it?
5. Can you get a big profeit by doing this?

[mkda]

what sites work internationally [europe,FINLAND] ?

Some sites, like Custom Order This (http://www.customorderthis.com/?ref=406) allow international residents. However, these places will usually just give you the cash equivalent of the gift. Meaning, if you choose a Wii as a gift (which cost $250US), they will give you $250US instead of the Wii.

Another thing, is that international members find slim to no advertiser's offers for their countries. In that case, well, at least for the Custom Order This (http://www.customorderthis.com/?ref=406) site, you can get an extra referral instead of you doing an offer.

Hi!

1. "Going green" means you do an advertiser's offer and get credit for it. "Going red", on the other hand, means you got put on hold at the freebie site for not obeying their terms of service (like using fake information, proxy, etc.)

2. Yes and no.

Some people like to finish sites rather quickly so they pay 50-70% of what they get from freebie sites to people who become their referrals. so, for example, if the site pays $40 for each referral, people would offer about $25-30 to people who becomes a referral for them.

Other people like to spend less or not at all to obtain a "true freebie". These people usually have personal websites, or they use friends, relatives, and people they meet at forums for their referrals.

3. Please NEVER EVER talk about canceling publicly. If you do offers for the sole purpose of canceling, that is considered fraud and it's against freebie sites TOS. This also has nothing to do with getting money back from referrals.

4. Doing the requirements (as mentioned on this free xbox 360 (http://free-xbox-360-premium.blogspot.com/) site) is totally dependent on how long you want to take. Some people (usually people who trade lots of $ for referrals) take about a week or two to finish the requirements. Some take a couple of months. It's up to you!

When you're done the requirements, each freebie site has a different policy of how long they take to approve accounts and when they ship the gift. On average, it takes a week for each (1 for approval, 1 for shipping).

5. TOTALLY WORTH IT! There is a lot of money to be made doing this stuff. I've personally made over $7K (in about 2 yrs) ... and that's less b/c I haven't been too active with it and b/c I'm Canadian who has limited sites to do. some people have made upwards of over $15-20K.

It takes a lot of hard work and determination at the very start to learn how everything works, how to maximize profit, and how to convince people. But if you're good at it, you will learn to do very well.

6. Yes, like said in #5, you can make a lot! So much so that some people even do this stuff as a part-time job.

If you need answers to more questions, do get back to me :)

Where can I get a virtual credit card to do the offers?

[Foladar]

If a virtual CC would act as a debit card, it likely would be denied .. however the only virtual CC I know of personally would be a Paypal virtual card. I've also redesigned the OP, including an active conga list, please PM me your link if yours wasn't included (I tried to search for congas in the past 30 days) and the "three or more weeks inactive" will begin ticking now, for those congas that were already 21 or more days old.

[mkda]

Where can I get a virtual credit card to do the offers?
Ppe-paid cards are not allowed anymore on freebie sites. If you're caught using them your account will be placed on hold.

Just use a real one, or if you don't have one, join non-cc sites.

[Fah_Q]

I've got a question about Winzy. How long does it take for a referral to transfer? I had two people tell me that they signed up under my link, plus my brother signed up under mine on his laptop, but I haven't gotten any of them yet.

[Foladar]

Pretty sure Winzy is quick with referrals showing up, I'd make sure your link is correct.

To which site did you sign up with? Check out my sig for a 360 link at the best site ever! ;)

[jtokchain5]

i signed up for prize rebel, gaminglagoon, and 3604free.com and all have take long time to credit.

[Foladar]

3604free is probably the "easiest" to get a 360 from, however the referrals can be painful at times. PrizeRebel and Gaminglagoon credit pretty well, just make sure your using legitimate information and you'll be set.

[Foladar]

can i bump my own referral thread? like after a day
Yes. Theres currently no rules on bumping, however if you bump it several times in say, three hours .. I'll probably ask you to slow down.

[spoo]

I just wanted to give Foladar a big thanks for keeping things in line here.

You are doing a great job, keep it up it is well appreciated. :applause:

[DrazenX]

hi

i have no credit card... but i want to be able to get free stuff

can someone point me in the direction of the BEST and EASIEST site where NO-CC is needed.

please and thanks

[Redeema]

Depends on what you're trying to get and what you want, as in a referral site or points based site. If you just want to pick up a game or two look into a site like Prize Rebel or Gaming Lagoon.

[DrazenX]

My S.O. and I signed up, and have already got a few good deals (Sears & K-mart clearence thread8-)).

I have been trying to read thorugh all the "Free" threads, and I have a few ???'s

1~ Referal vs. Points...pro's/con's (can someone break this down a bit for me)
2~ I have no problem signing up for some offers to aquire a system, as long as they arent very long term.(I am Not trying to get it completly free...Just cheap)... what can I expect to pay out of pocket for said offers to aquire a Ps3 sytem/Xbox elite...
3~ alot of the threads seem to be loosing steam, Why ?
4~ anyone that has done/doing this stuff, have more experience, can I(or anyone) ask questions(or get advice) on what deals are cheapest(fastest)

thanx a ton for heads up.
and for the great deals already...

[major maz]

1) Referral Pros: Easy to get the prize quicker, only need to complete a few offers, sometimes one.

-Referral Cons: Not many, but some people charge a lot for referrals.

-Points pros: No referrals involved, some good sites for points

-Points cons: May end up being more costly, a lot more work involved.

Basically a points system you need an x amount of points and the same gos for referral but refs instead. Its your choice of what system you want but points or GPT are easier for beginners.

2) Offers go from free to 20-100 dollars most are in the 5 dollar range.

3) The threads are losing "steam" because the freebie industry is at a bad time now because of fraud by the users.

4) Please feel free to ask me questions, I can get you started.

1.

Ref Pro:
-- Because you have to do just 1 or 2 offers, you can do plenty of freebie sites
-- Pay is a lot more than doing it the points way most of the time

Ref Cons:
-- Too much competition with people finding referrals. This leads to people paying more and more for referrals. Depending on the site, on average, people pay b/w $25-35 (the higher for trainn.org sites as people love them the most)

Points Pro:
-- No need to bug people to be your ref
-- If you find some good DIY sites, they can be very profitable (until they become well known, the requirements get difficult, and then its kinda impossible)

Points Cons:
- Due to you doing many offers on one site, you're very limited in the offers you can do on other sites. You cannot repeat offers, ever, so you have to wait till new ones come in. At this current time, due to major fraud many advertisers pulled out and thus they're around 25-50, depending on which site you go to.

2.

Most offers range from $5-10. Sometimes as high as $25. There are also free trials sometimes where you don't pay anything, or if you do, you get refunded.

3.

Like I said earlier, too much competition in finding referrals.

Which is better (for people with no CC)?

[Foladar]

I'd say either or, whatever interface you prefer better .. if I had to choose, I'd probably suggest Gaming Lagoon. Their custom orders are also better, since they allow more things (PR use to just allow Amazon, nothing else, not sure if that was changed)

What is custom orders? I was trying to do GamingLagoon but I didn't know what to click for the "Coregister With Our Affiliates - Please Check All The Boxes Below". Do you know what I should click? I dunno if I unclick something and then it won't work or whatever.

*Edit* Is it possible to use your cell? Will they text you or anything like that that'll make me regret putting my cell lol.

[Foladar]

That affiliate thing wasn't there when I signed up, or I don't recall it at all, I wouldn't think you'd have to sign up with their affiliates to sign up with Gaminglagoon though. Custom order is where you can order things that are on the "subject" of gaming, such as something that isn't on their website from anywhere, unlike the limit of Amazon only for PrizeRebel.

I also imagine if you used a cell # as your main number, that you shouldn't receive any texts. Just don't signup for the cell phone service offers they have, or you'll likely get more than just texts.

[Foladar]

1$ = 1pt on both websites.

[shaveice]

Does Prize Rebel and GL hold similar offers? Like I tried Rebel and you have to put your address and all of that, I just wanted to fill out surveys or something lol.

[Foladar]

Yes, they do generally have the same offers and yes, 90% of these offers do require you to input real information including a phone # and address.

[NFK]

Are we alllowed to use those credit cards that aren't actually credit cards but have the number on the freeofferspot wii?

Also, could I do a Stamps.com offer on the Wii one and then do it again on the 360 one?

[Foladar]

You can't complete the same offers. If you complete a free trial of an offer, you wouldn't be eligible the second time around.

Pre-paid cards were once allowed. But WAY too many people frauded offers and it pissed advertisers off. Most of them backed out of this freebie business. So to make the situation better, meaning to keep the freebie world alive, freebie sites disallowed members from using it. Yes, ALL offers need to be used with a real card. If found to be using a pre-paid one (advertiser's can report it), your (friend's) account will go on hold.

[NFK]

I see. Well thanks.

well i was wondering something.

what would happen if a conga died out, without anyone joining into it, and the maker wanted to convert the dead conga into a conga for a diffrent site, after having waited a long time for the old conga to become active. could the maker convert his dead conga, that never became active ,into a conga for another site?

P.S When i mean after waiting a long time, i mean 30-50 days:)

[Foladar]

Sorry, when you create a conga you are stuck with said conga, and are no longer allowed a new conga. This goes for anyone who abandons, or "passes" the conga off.

You could probably pick one out yourself then order it off of http://customorderthis.com/ (not putting ref link, because I don't have one). This site will let you order anything, then they determine the amount of referrals you need for it based on the price (basically $50 per referral). But if you're going to sign up for it, make sure you sign up under a CAGs link, just so you're helping someone out.

Yes, if you need a ref link I can help with that ;)

COTs is very good if you decide to pursue custom orders like a tv. They pay $50/ref now.

2. I just ordered my ps3 from yourps34free.com and i now have 11 referral (the 80 gb i ordered was 10 ref.) , the meter is still full, but I want it to reset without losing that extra referral. How can i go about getting it to go back to 10% or whatever without losing the referral?

I'm not positive, but I think once you've done a big site like that (PS3, Wii, 360, iPod), it doesn't let you reset your account and earn another. Only with the 360, Wii, and PS3 game sites.

[crunchberries]

Uh, hi. I just started an account on points2shop and I was wondering if someone could answer a few questions.

1)Can I get an explanation of the referral system and how to get referrals for it on CAG? I'm sort of shy and don't want to go around PM'ing people who aren't interested.

2)Am I screwed if I put in real information for the site, but fake info for the offers? Not that I would do that, but just in case I was tempted to.

3)How would I set up a referral swap?

[Foladar]

1) Someone signs up via your link, you receive a percentage of their points. And going around PMing people would be considered spam.

2) If you use fake information, they can and probably will close your account (or at the best for you, remove the points rewarded)

3) You have to wait 30 days to make a thread here, otherwise look for someone interested but don't spam their thread if they aren't looking for that.

The first site is an OC site. It is very easy when you first start, but like 60% into completion the site, the offers get EXTREMELY tough for your referrals... like $30+ Most people don't do their sites.

I've not heard much about the latter site. The referrals are low, but they probably need like 4-5 credits for it to count as 1 referral. It has to make up for the referral ratio somewhere...

About your ps3 account, you can reset it, but for future prizes you need to get approximately TWICE the amount of refs. For example, you took the 10 ref system now, if you want to get another 10 ref system, you'll need an additional 20refs or so. It is so much b/c they will switch your account to the points way everytime you want to do this (each ref is worth 50pts). Not practical for most people...

Stick with COTs if you really want that tv.

I have an question about this one offer called Efax i don't get, it says this

If it's a free trial, why do you need my credit card?
If you cancel anytime during the 1 month free trial period, your credit card will not be charged for the normal subscription fee. Trial also includes a $3.00 (USD) credit for usage fees (i.e sending). If you are enjoying faxing with eFax, do nothing, and your membership will automatically continue with a monthly fee of $16.95 (USD), for as long as you choose to remain a subscriber. No commitments, no hassles. Cancel anytime.

I know it's a trial but the thing i don't get is the 3$ fee, is it saying as soon i sign up for it and enter my CC there gonna charge me 3$ fee or is it saying there giving 3$ in my efax account.

Sorry im very new to this.

Yeah, it doesn't matter which company you sign up through. ONE offer, do it ONCE!

Also, people are saying the paypal plugin creates a virtual card and most probably is not allowed now. Ask Trainn to be absolutely sure of this.

YourPS34Free isn't bad @ 8 refs, and they also adjust referral rates if there is a pricedrop while you are working on the site.

Definitely Trainn sites. Other sites may state lower referrals, but the "hidden" costs are usually double the credits. Also, Trainn has more full credit offers, whereas other sites have these same offers for half a credit.

The people who have their links on my sites (in sig) are trying to do trainn sites, so help them out if you like. :)

[Ghostface420]

on gaminglagoon can you order a amazon giftcard? if so how?

[gfanikf]

I did a refferal for some other sites, with paypal virtual cards. They were declined for some weird reason, but then the charge appeared on my paypal. I closed both cards (I do have a bank account linked) should that prevent a charge for "later fees"

The first one was this Increase my Margin because it came from the Utah one and was 4.95

The second one was
IP-olnsupplier 8666133376 KN and for 1.95 anyone know what this one is?


What else should I do?

[Foladar]

Most offers and/or freebie websites don't allow prepaids, and I believe paypal virtual cards are considered prepaids.
That would cause the site to reject the CC.

I've never had problems with the same owner with VC, I'm just annoyed about the charges. I look at it as small, BUT I want to insure I wont get charged when the trial runs out.

[gfanikf]

Anyone know how I can get my money back or ensure that can't take more than the initial fee. I had one pending pulling the initial money from my account (my back up). Will the attempt to process a later charge (if they give me crap canceling) be impossible with the card closed?

[bugsomeoneelse]

Guys, I'm going to try to win GH3. Which website is better, prizerebel or Gaming lagoon?

I'm going to do surveys, ones that don't require my address or a CC because I don't like to give my address out to people. Which would fulfill these needs better?

[Foladar]

I'm pretty sure all the surveys require your address, but I'd probably lean towards Gaminglagoon if I had to choose between the two.

[bugsomeoneelse]

I'm pretty sure all the surveys require your address, but I'd probably lean towards Gaminglagoon if I had to choose between the two.

Really? Is there any way to avoid using my address? I don't want to get a ton of spam mail, since I live with my parents (I'm 15).

[Foladar]

Nope, they require your address as some of these sites will also mail the item to you.
I'd also check to make sure whatever site(s) you decide on don't say 18&older in their terms.

[bugsomeoneelse]

[Wicked One 612]

Yeah I can use my address for receiving an item (prize), but I don't want to use it for the offers. Is this possible?

The lead that kicks in has nothing to do with whether the address you use on the survey is the same as the one on the site. I mean I wouldn't want to put any ideas in your head or anything like that.

[Foladar]

They've frozen/banned acccounts for using incorrect information, I'd probably use my address and just watch what you sign up for .. I can't say I've gotten any crazy spam (to my street address) so thats just my opinion.

[bugsomeoneelse]

How do they know if you've been using false information or not?

[Foladar]

Probably because they can compare with your information on file and what you've provided to the advertisers (ie: the surveys/offers you completed) but that'd just be a guess.

A paypal plugin card is a virtual card, since you can create it for a "one time use". Most, if not all freebie sites, will ban you if they find out you used it. Another reason for banning you is that you created it for the sole purpose of it being a "one time use" fee only, and then want to "close" it so further charges don't occur. That is considered fraud.

There are a couple of offers that cost $1.95. The only one I remember at the moment is Yahoo! Success Center. I tried to do it recently but like some other people, the REAL credit card got declined.

If you are doing Trainn sites, a rep of their site said this:

http://www.anything4free.com/forums/index.php?act=findpost&pid=836830

So, atm, it could be accepted or denied. However, to be safe, people are going with it being NOT ALLOWED. I know you're trying to be safe, but you also gotta follow the rules so that you don't get banned and this freebie system continues to live on.

The lead that kicks in has nothing to do with whether the address you use on the survey is the same as the one on the site. I mean I wouldn't want to put any ideas in your head or anything like that.

Don't try to encourage people to enter fake info. If they find out (like if their advertisers report back "fraud info), their account will go on hold and advertisers will pull out.

There was a HUGE drop of advertisers a couple of months ago (the time freebie sites enforced the "no virtual cards" rule) b/c tons of people frauded advertisers and they got pissed off -- who wouldn't when they spend around $40 per person that puts in fake info...multiple that by thousands!!!

Just be truthful. I've been doing this stuff for 2.5yrs and never had a problem. Excess spam via email, yes. More junk snail mail, no way! Even if there was, it doesn't matter as junk mail is junk mail -- it gets discarded before it even enters the house.

[Wicked One 612]

I'm not sure about sites like GamingLagoon or PrizeRebel, but I know for a fact that the only information Trainn is given is whether you completed the offer or not.

● Do you log information when I sign up for an offer? No, any information given to the advertiser is not viewable by us. The only information made available to us from the advertiser is whether or not you have completed an offer.

Well I'm still planning on canceling it anyway with the providers so it shouldn't be an issue. I just wanted a backup plan.

I'm sort of stalled with the tranin sites now. I'm a bit afraid to ones where you need to mail stuff back with and OBVIOUSLY I'm not getting Dual Action Cleanse!

Any advice on how I can complete more offers?

You were planning on canceling even before you do the offer? That is fraud too lol

If you don't want to mail stuff back, look for offers that don't need you to do that. This stuff is clearly written in their TOS. There are some offers that are e-Deliveries too, like Yahoo! Success Center, Stamps, Reunion is a service...stuff like that.

There is no other option on "how you can complete more offers". With all the stuff you're doing or are trying to do, it is against the site's TOS. Again, remember, the more people try to scam the system, the faster freebies will die. It almost did a couple months ago, and that caused offers to get harder. If it continues with scamming, the offers will be very expensive -- for the advertisers that do stick with "incentitive sites" -- and this will cause everyone to leave and the system will die.

I've been doing freebie sites for 2.5yrs. I read a LOT on each offer I do to ensure I don't get scammed....and I never had from an advertiser.

ok pros im new to cag and yourps34free.com and i have a question, has anyone had any sucess with a prepaid card on a paticular offer? if so please tell me the offer, and dont say u cant use prepaids cause on thes site it clearly says u can

second question can i buy one prepaid giftcard or use a real credit card and go to 8 peoples houses and do the same ONE offer say stamps.com over 8 times using the same credit card/prepaid card? i would be using 8 diff ip adresses as i would be in 8 diff houses thanks for help

[kube00]

I know you can't use the same credit card for the same offer. Prepaid cards I think, well it depends on the site, make sure you read the offer and find out exactly what its about.

Pre-paid cards are definitely NOT allowed!!!

Where did you see it say that it was allowed? This site? Just b/c it says it on this site it doesn't mean it is allowed. If it says its allowed on freebie sites (read their TOS, or confirm it with them), then go ahead. But the majority of freebie sites are pretty strict on this now since they lost A LOT of advertisers b/c of pre-paid cards and the major fraud that went along with it. Even Trainn (the company that runs that ps3 site says it is NOT allowed).

If you know about the "paypla plugin" thing, Trainn is looking into it as it is a virtual card (one time use), BUT it can also act as a real card (multi use cards) since your bank/credit card is the alternative money source. Read here: http://www.anything4free.com/forums/index.php?act=findpost&pid=836830

Regarding your other question, you cannot do offers for people, or use the same card, or use a pre-paid card, or do the exact same offer since it looks highly suspicious. All of these things are AGAINST the site's TOS, which I suggest you read. Tell your refs to pick and choose their own offers (everyone will have a different opinion of what they like), and they can use their own REAL cards. I know it's tougher, but don't try to scam the system, especially not on easy sites as Trainn.

Can somebody help me, I've been doing prize rebel and gaming lagoon, but haven't been getting most of my offers approved. I clear the cookies in between each offer, and I've been using firefox w/ trend pc-cilin (could this be the problem), but I can receive cookies.

Does your browser setting allows all cookies to go through too? Before doing an offer I do the following (never had to do an MCR):

1. Disable my security software and PeerGuardian too (as I have an ad blocking list).

2. Run a program called CCleaner to erase all cookies/temp files for my internet explorer 6 browser (which I use to do offers).

3. There are some programs like Spybot, that immunizes your computer against a whole list of "bad sites". By doing so, it tells your computer to never go there, even by mistake. I tell it to reverse it's changes b/c some of these are ad sites.

4. Lastly, I open up my IE 6 and change the settings to allow ALL cookies to go through.

Then I visit the freebie site immediately and do my offer.

Once offer is done, I back track through the list.

Anyone know how long Blockbuster should take to credit on Trainn sites? And how so the support tickets work?

I don't remember how long it takes. Support tickets are what it is. You create a new ticket when you have an issue, and respond to it till the issue is resolved. For a new issue, create a new ticket. Support tickets take at least 2 business days for a reply.

[kube00]

Another question what's the full list of prizes Gaming Lagoon and Prize rebel offers?

Also what do people recommend between the three Gaming Lagoon, Video Games Lagoon, and prize rebel I just want to do non-cc offers.

[Foladar]

I'd probably vote for Gaming Lagoon, they do custom orders with less strict rules compared to PrizeRebel, Prize Rebel will only do Amazon GCs while Gaming Lagoon will (or use to?) do several stores GCs, including Best Buy.

Ok, maybe I'm a little slow but I am a complete newb to this and I have a couple (possibly stupid) questions:
1. What is a conga and how does it work?
2. Not asking to go too in depth but how does this referral deal work?

I appreciate any help recieved because I want free stuffs:)Who doesn't?
1. A conga is a group of people, in a line, that sign up under each other so they can get referrals. Back a long time ago, congas were fun and it enabled many people to be each other's referrals, especially when new, popular sites were released. Now, many people usually trade for sites so they get some $ back from being a referral. In a conga you sign up for free, in the hope that someone returns the favour. Usually, if you're one of the first ones in a popular conga, you're likely to get a referral. If you're way down the line, your chances are slim to none.

I remember back in Jan 2007, I joined a conga for a very popular network - Transcendent Innovations - but even after a few minutes in the conga, I never even got one sign up. The majority of people didn't actually. That's when I decided to call it quits from congas.

The way it works, as you'll see from one of the other threads in this section is that person A signs up to a site and posts their link. Than depending on how big the conga (usually set to 3 people now), other people sign up from that link and do an offer. They then post their links.

Person A, needs 3

Person B signs up under A, needs 3
Person C signs up under A, needs 3
Person D signs up under A, needs 3

Now the list grows and it starts slowing down over time b/c interest dies down rather quickly. It is rotated every week by the person who creates it. Take a look at the other congas on this site to know how it is working.

2. Referral deal work? You mean how to trade or how this whole system works? For the answer to the latter my sig will help ;)

[Foladar]

Referrals work like this: You refer someone to the website, they sign up and complete an offer. You receive one referral towards your "prize" however some websites such as Gaming Lagoon and Prize Rebel are percentage based on what your referral receives (ie 20% of their points for completing X offer)

thanks mkda aswell for helping people out.

[N1c0_ds]

-What is "going green"
-People pay me to ref them, do I get to keep all the money?

Thanks for helping

[Foladar]

Going green has to do with the environ- oh wait ..

Going green just means completing the offer requirements for that website. When people pay you, yes you can keep all the money although some offers might require you to pay something.

[mkda]

N1c0_ds: To go green, you gotta:

1. Sign up using that person's referral link
2. Do an offer and get credit for it.

The term "green" comes from seeing a green check mark (or green font) when the offer is done. In relation, "red" means your account is on hold and "yellow" means you just signed up but didn't get credit for an offer.

When people pay you an amount, you keep all that amount. People usually pay about 50-60% of what they get. So, the going rate of an average site is about $25. If you're new, people usually pay less until they feel comfortable in trading with you (you could be a scammer, or go red for some silly noob reason). When you gain more experience people will offer a higher amount.

any alternatives to using a real credit card besides one time only paypal plugin and prepaids?

any alternatives to using a real credit card besides one time only paypal plugin and prepaids?
No, you have only one option: use a REAL credit card or risk your account going on hold and advertisers pulling out and this freebie system dying.

As a matter fact, just this evening the company that runs many of the instant offers (Pacific WebWorks) pulled out many of it's offers (QuickBooks quickstart, Increase My Margin, Yahoo! Success center, etc.), most probably due to offer fraud, like fake credit cards and false info. A couple of months back other major advertiser's pulled out for the same reasons -- too all b/c people try to scam advertisers.

Remember, if there are no advertisers, especially advertisers that have good offers, this freebie system WILL DIE for good (if not, the offers will get very expensive).

So, use a REAL card and follow the rules!!!

The freebie system will never die out. The advertisers and the site make too much money off of it to let that happen.

Pacific WebWorks may have pulled out, but that may not necessarily be the reason. As of now it's useless propaganda.

I use Visa Gift Cards, the only reason advertisers don't want you using them is because if you forget to cancel the trial, they can't charge you hundreds of dollars.

The sit4e makes tons of money, but not the advertisers. Unless you're counting those people who get charged for forgetting, it seems people are just in it to cancel. This certainly doesn't help keep advertisers if the leads don't plan on staying on.

I just found out the PWW may come back (from a Trainn rep). I suppose it was taken down to it it not accepting cc. Hopefully it does comes back soon, but I don't expect them to stay on for too long. Advertisers usually leave b/c fraud is a major reason. I've read and looked into incentive freebies for many years. Many advertisers (or the ad networks they go through) decline incentive sites b/c of major fraud.

With pre-paid cards especially, people don't seem to even take the trouble to quit the offer. They just let it be charged, and when there is not enough in there, advertiser's get angry. It's just that bad that gift cards are no longer allowed.

Advertisers do make a lot of money. They make it from basic advertising, from people signing up (money from trials), from people forgetting to cancel, and even from people who are generally interested in the offer.

lol, that is nothing really. Overall, it seems they loose money when you weigh in how many ppl stay on and how many leave after they the commission is paid. People forgetting is another thing, and with that they make easily, but we don't hear soooo many cases of this.

Even though some of these companies have assets of over a million (PWW has about 3.5 million) some still don't stay. Video Professor, for example, left incentive freebie sites (I found an article where the owner of that company speaks against incentive sites...now if I can just find it again).

PWW = Pacific Web Works offers: Increase My Margin, Quickbooks QuickStart, Yahoo! Success Center, etc.

Don't worry. It's not yours. Yours was canceled after more then 50% of the time period expired. Grant also was about an hour or so

Could care less. I've made a ton of money just doing the referral for people. It would be nice, to get the extra money, but it doesn't bother me. Also I said I CANCELED Grant Properly ! This is to deal with their scam piggyback ones. Grant's people wouldn't help me at all.

Good luck I called the number in the free xbox game thread, they couldn't find a damn thing. Actually they may not be linked anymore as NONE of them did a pending charge on the card like all the others normally do (no authorization no nothing).

Hence why I'm asking since Grant was properly canceled with no issues, that by closing the VCC I used to set it up should prevent any of the piggy back firms from charging me?

I know I have to use an offer too, and I want to try stamps.com, but I'm not sure if i can complete it. Am I saposed to register, install, AND print out the stamps or do I just have to install it?

[kube00]

no you need to d/l the software and print out some stamps, it's a great offer if you have a lot of ebay business.

All of the above: register, install, print. You also need to keep it for a min of 21 days, even if you get credit earlier than that. It says so on the site's offer description page.

I think they gave you $5 of postage for free to, so it is really a free trial. If you do get charged like $15, it is refunded after a couple of days. They do that to ensure the card is valid/real.

Anyone have an answer for my question?

[zizo79]

hey guys, i got 2 people to sign up under me at yourps34free.com ...but it keeps saying that : "this user is not providing credit to your account as they have not completed their offer requirement"
does it mean that they completed their offers and it takes time for me to get credit ?
thanks

it means that they haven't completed an offer.

[zizo79]

okay...thanks
i thought that for some reason ..it takes time to get a credit for a refferal and that is why i get that kind of message..

[zizo79]

how long does it take to get credit for a referral ?

[SpitFire158]

As soon as they get credit for it, you get them as a referral

for some reason, my cousin did an instant offer earlier this morning..and it is still pending ...

[mkda]

for some reason, my cousin did an instant offer earlier this morning..and it is still pending ...
Instant offers are not usually instant. On some cases there are.

He may have not gotten an automatic credit if he did something wrong (clear cookies, enable ALL cookies, disable anti-cookie/ad progs, etc.).

I think if he does not get credit in a day or so, he won't get credit. He will have to do it manually, a process that I think takes 10 biz days.

Here's a question,

Anyone have any exp with Macrobucks, Forcebucks, or V-bux? I know you can green 4 ever on them and cash out when you get more refs. I'm looking for site that has good/fast support, lets you do MCRs, and has good rewards.

Thanks

I've done Macro$ and never had a prob. I don't know if they accept MCRs though.

V-Bux is very good too. You need to do about 2-3 offers to get 1 credit, so it may be hard to find a referral. Not sure if they do MCR either. I'm a member on all their sites, but never completed them yet (just signed up for a free green awhile ago :D).

Never tried ForceBucks. They're too new.

If you want green forever kinda sites, I think any smaller network that gives custom orders can work with you on that. Sites like CustomOrderThis is good.

[kube00]

Thanks think I'll give customorderthis a shot. Are there any other networks that green forever that you suggest?

[mkda]

Thanks think I'll give customorderthis a shot. Are there any other networks that green forever that you suggest?
Great! If you need to sign up on their main site, I can offer $20 upon green.

I'm not too sure about others as I never really tried others. GiftMonster is nice too, but COTS pays $10 more. Maybe Somethin4Nothin?

[gfanikf]

I was wondering I know that Tranin allows you to resign up for a site if you didn't have a ref done. Does this apply to sites you have refs on, but it just resets them? I'm asking because I actually logged in on one that I've completed in the sign up box and it didn't say this email has an account or such. Can you just overwrite an account?

Trainn allows you to use another account without penalty if BOTH the following applies:

- you never did an offer or attempted to do one
- you never got even 1 referral

They never delete accounts, so if that email doesn't exist and you're absolutely sure you used it to sign up before, contact them at contact _AT_ trainn.org

Ive been considering getting a 360 or wii through one of these referal sites, and i have been reading up as best i can, but I need to ask about the credit card thing:
why do they need your credit card? do they charge you later?
is there any one site recommended over others?
i guess thats all i can think of right now.

You need a CC to do "offers" from the sites sponsors. You sign up for a trial or buy some products from the sponsors then you need to find "x" amount of people to do the same under your referral. Look through the forums and join a conga or some one paying for "greens" (a "green" is a referral that uses your link and completes an offer.) If you want a non CC site try gaminglagoon (see sig) or some of the other sites that do a point type system instead of a referral system but it will be next to impossible to earn enough points on a site like gl for a wii or 360 without some strong referrals. Goodluck!

When you do an "offer", advertisers ask for your card. They do this in case you wish to continue being a member of theirs, after the trial period. Some of these offers might also be a one time purchase, which again is charged through the card. It is also used to verify you're not entering fake info. If you use a real card ad respect the advertisers' offers, you will be fine and this freebie stuff will continue. Don't scam them, like some people do. If they go, this stuff will die VERY quickly.

A network to try definitely is www.trainn.org ... Like many these days, congas die off very fast these days, so joining one will be definitely useless. You could be better of making like $20 if someone is offering you for signing up as their referral (and doing an offer). If you like more details on this stuff, I can help :)

[Nowell]

So what happens if you sign up, and do like..2 offers? Do they get put towards your total needed? Or did you just waste an offer?

I've got one pending, I don't want to do another instant one and end up with a wasted offer.

For a Trainn site:

If you did it the points way: there is no problem. You can do however many offers it takes to get your gift

If you did it the referral way: only one is required, and only one credit will be given to you...no matter however many you do. It will be a wasted offer, of course...which you definitely don't wanna do these days.

[creeeaature]

Is there an offer site for a PSP similar to yourfree360games.com? As in, I can do the offers myself instead of having to rely on referrals? All I can find are sites like gaminglagoon which require you to do tons of surveys and the such in order to get a very small amount of points. On yourfree360games I could do 2 offers to get a copy of GH3, so is it reasonable to expect there is a site I can do around 4 offers on to get a PSP?

Unfortunately, only Trainn sites can do such deals. You could try working out a deal with the owners of other freebie sites, but it'll definitely be 4+ offers (Trainn pays about $50/g, others pay about $40/g).

Anyone recommend the best site for getting free Wii Points cards? I do Harris Polls surveys all the time, but it just feels like I'm accumulating points towards such poor prizes. I'd like Wii Points, Wii games, Wii accessories, and such, but mostly Wii Points.

Any recommendations? I would rather only get points by completing surveys or something. Don't want to spend money, if that's possible. Is it?

So I signed up on prize rebel and I have some questions. When I do surveys do I HAVE to enter my name and address? I really dont want a bunch of junk mail but If I have to thats alright I guess.

Use a gmail email to store all the SPAM they send you(Preferably not your personal email). Keep your real name and adress on your personal account and when you fill up offers.

In a nutshell these freebie sites pay you to give your info to their advertisers and in return they pay you for giving their advertisers info or for using their services. That is why all pay/freebie sites require you to give their advertisers all real info. You are getting paid/prizes to get sent junk mail and for telemarketers to bug you... or to buy "x" product or use "y" service.

Just wanted to give a warning. He hasn't posted in a while, but who knows if he's PM'd anyone else. He uses fake info and his greens don't go red until you go through the verification process after getting all your referrals.

Sorry I didn't know where this belonged so I thought I'd put it here because I can't make new threads due to my 30 day waiting period. There is this survey site called cashkrazy.com, I have done my research on it, and it seems like not many people trust it. Has anyone used this site before? Can you give any insight on it? It seems like it is a decent site. I stayed away from the offers that needed any personal info and just did surveys. Thanks for your replies.

All there surveys are from Big Buck Surveys, Winning Surveys, Opinion Outpost, and Nationwide Opinion Panel. Are these reputable survey sites?

hey guys, totally freakin new to all of this so im really gonna hit you with some of the basics :)

1) what exactly is a conga? Maybe im missing a thread on all of this, but from my context clues it sounds like it's just a line you get into to get all the required referrels for a free ps3, ipod, etc.

2) Is all i do then to get my ps3 is complete an offer through a referrel link, get my ass in line, and then wait a few months for peeps to finish me off on referrels? Is there an avg wait time for all of this to get done?

3) how legit is all of this? If i have 6 months of patience (hell, if i get a free ps3, i have a year or 2 of patience!) will i pretty much guarantee to get a ps3...or ipod or whatever else i sign up for?

4) THANKS MUCHLY!!!!!!!!!!

Hope to hang out here a bit. looks like a nice place :)

Hi nymk83!

Let me help you out with this. Contact me via pm if you want more help.

1. A conga helps people who use it by getting them referrals. In a typical conga, you sign up under a link in that conga (the conga instructs which one specifically). Once you get credit for your offer you will be added in the line. the line then rotates about once a week so everyone gets a fair chance at getting some referrals.

Now days congas are set at about 3-5 referrals for each person, depending on the site, then you're moved off it. It used to be the FULL amount back (like 10 referrals for a ps3) about a year ago, but has since decreased b/c people lost faith in congas. Why? Because people rarely get any referrals these days through it, if at all. If you're lucky enough to join a site and get in the earlier spots in a conga, you will probably get some referrals. However, if the conga is a couple of weeks old, you prob won't get any. Based on experience, I joined a conga for a VERY popular site within like 10-15 min of it launching and got credit for my offer. I ended up finishing the site on my own...the conga was useless.

2. Read above. Congas don't help much these days, and will be less popular as people lose interest in it. More and more people seem to "trade" - either referral 4 referral or referral 4 cash (ie. give about 50% of what you get from the freebie site). It's tougher these days due to competition but it's still possible if you keep persisting. It's not a "sit and forget" thing.

3. The legitimacy depends on the site, so make sure you do your research before you sign up for a particular one. Right now the most popular and legit network, especially for new people, is www.trainn.org Their sites are kinda easier then the rest.

4. np.

It is a nice place!

If you like there are freebie forums too. www.Anything4Free.com is a great one (you can trade referrals here too).

[taint mcgee]

I made a thread about trading and a fella told me that he would trade a referral with me. He had a higher rating then i did, so i went first. I went green then it was his turn. He told me later that there was no offers that he could do. What would be the correct response to somethin like this? Should i give negative feedback or what?

Ask him to go green on some other site or work out a cash compensation.

If both fail, you can request the freebie site to remove your credit from your referrer (meaning he/she won't get credit for referring you, but you still keep your own offer credit).

Only $10? Mind sharing which site? Looks like he got an awesome deal if it's a regular $40/ref freebie site. Mind being my referral too for that price lol?

[kobewan]

So I have a few questions that you guys can hopefully answer. I appreciate all the details that you've already given out on this thread, and I'm trying to keep my questions to ones that haven't been answered yet:

1. Do you need a credit card for most of these offers, or does a regular old debit card do? It's a legit debit card, not prepaid or a Gift card or anything like that.

2. Why are Trainn sites recommended the most for new users? It seems to me that if they are the most popular, then most people will already have signed up with them and it would be very hard to get referrals? Or is it still easy to do the offers yourself and not need referrals?

3. I'm wary about giving away my credit card information (much more than my street or home address). Is it common to get fake credit card charges? Is there a short-list of companies that you should go with and are guaranteed to not screw you?

4. I'm looking to get a PSP from referrals, but there is no Trainn site for it? Do you think it would be better to sign up for a cash prize on a Trainn site, or find a site that would actually do the PSP? If I'm signing up for a Trainn site, is any specific one better than the others, or are they all pretty much equal for this? I have my eye on the Wii site right now because they have a $250 prize, which would cover the cost of a PSP quite nicely.

1. I've used debit cards on some offers and they work just fine.

2.Trainn is what most people do because it's both easy and pretty fast. You can get a Wii for having 5 people do 1 credit.

3. I have never gotten a fake credit card charge but some people have :lol:


4. I would go that route. Just do the wii site and get the cash reward. Much easier than doing another site

1. Like 99% of sites require it. You can always try non-credit card sites but it's a much longer process (4-5x more work/referrals). I've heard of people using debit and they seem to work fine for some offers.

2. Trainn has the most offers that are worth full credit, and their referral requirements are the lowest. Therefore, it is easiest for newbies. If you see a site that offers half the referral amount, keep in mind that to earn that offer credit you would have to double the offers.

For example, while Trainn might offer an 80gb ps3 system for 10 referrals with each referral doing 1 easy offer ($500/10 referrals = $50/ref), other sites will cut this referral amount in half to 5, but tell people to do 2 offers to get credit (5 referrals * 2 offers each). Most sites, other than Trainn pay out on avg of $40/referral as the STANDARD rate. If they pay more and/or has much fewer referrals watch out for the # of offers you gotta do to make up for it.

For the other part of your question, many people do it the referral way, and probably still do. However, there are some who find the offer system easier so they don't bug their friends/family.

Just keep in mind that although the points route is feasible, it will surely drain the offer choices available for you to do on future freebie sites. New offers don't come out frequently, so if you just really wanna stick with one site, and don't care for other freebie sites (at least for awhile) go the points route. It is still possible to find referrals, but with the amount of competition these days, especially for Trainn it is tough -- but attainable if you stick with it.

3. If you're concerned about an offer/company ALWAYS research that offer/company to find out what people think about it. Google works, but so do freebie communities like anything4free.com. More research you do, the better so that you're well informed.

4. You can do a Trainn site for a cash or go directly through freebie sites, your choice. With Trainn you can for the lowest reward they offer (about $250) and use it to buy your gift. With "custom freebie sites" they require like 1-2 referrals more for the gift, but it isn't impossible.

[kobewan]

Thanks a lot. I guess I'll try going for referrals then and seeing what happens.

[DaftPunkFan37]

Are there any of these that don't require giving out an adress/name until you are eligible to reccieve the prize (I.E. I don't give out my Adress/Name on Prize Rebel until i'm eligiable for a 360 or somethin like thaT)

[mkda]

Thanks a lot. I guess I'll try going for referrals then and seeing what happens.

Yes, start of with the referrals and then switch to points if you like. You're allowed to make an account switch once. Each referral you get will then convert to 50pts.

Are there any of these that don't require giving out an adress/name until you are eligible to reccieve the prize (I.E. I don't give out my Adress/Name on Prize Rebel until i'm eligiable for a 360 or somethin like thaT)

I haven't heard of any freebie site doing that. Not sure about DIY sites, but I suppose they will ask for info too before the gift. After all, it is one way to prove you live there and to not allow other accounts from that address (some sites even set up an automated phone verification system due to so much scamming going on, especially with their advertisers -- just like you they don't want o be scammed with fake info when they spend so much $ on commissions).

[krod413]

Hi everyone - I'm really sorry if this is not the place I should be posting this, but I'm kind of new. I'm interested in trying to get a Wii and/Xbox 360 (and subsequestly some games later) through one of those offer/referral sites, but I'm not sure how to go about it and which ones are legit/easy. If anyone could help me with this I would be sooooo grateful and if you need a referral or something of that nature in return I'd be glad to do that. Thanks again!! :D

[mdmola]

hey, i just have a question about one of these trainn sites (specifically yourps3forfree.com). I'm just wondering if anyone has:
1) won their prize from it recently
2) completed a majority of the offers to get the prize (ended up cost less than getting w/e they wanted).

I'm thinking that it would be best to do an many offers as possible then paying people by paypal for referrals. I plan on aiming for the 80gb ps3 so i need 10 referrals or 2200 points.

hey, i just have a question about one of these trainn sites (specifically yourps3forfree.com). I'm just wondering if anyone has:
1) won their prize from it recently
2) completed a majority of the offers to get the prize (ended up cost less than getting w/e they wanted).

I'm thinking that it would be best to do an many offers as possible then paying people by paypal for referrals. I plan on aiming for the 80gb ps3 so i need 10 referrals or 2200 points.

1. I think of it as "earn", not "win", a gift from freebie sites as you do stuff to get it. I did get my ps3, but that was almost 1.5yrs ago. However, I've seen people getting it recently as well. That site is very legit in case you're wondering.

2. If you do it the points way, you will probably still be under than what it costs to just buy it. For most people it's the harder route b/c you gotta do more offers, and thus, lessens the offer choice if they pursue other sites (like most decide to do). When comparing to the referral way, people charge about $35/green for trainn sites these days due to competition.

If you pay, you would get your ps3 for about 70-80% of what it costs I suppose. However, by doing this it keeps you options open for doing more offers, if you pursue more freebie sites. If you don't wish to pursue more sites, than the points way could be cheaper. Or so I think anyways. I haven't seen too many people doing it that way, but it could be cheaper.

What you could do is weigh the costs on each side and see which ones you're more comfortable with.

Quick Question, it's about the offers on some sites where it can check your credit report.

So my question is, i use to have a credit card but cancel it last year, am i still able to do those offers to check my cancel credit card and if i am, will doing those offer reactivate my credit card and charge me for that ?

Hmm, not sure. Try contacting the freebie site to ask this. Perhaps if you get a response you can let us know too :)

Hey.. I had a few quick questions. I've started a new conga for YourCamera4Free.com (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=195003). I was wondering:

A) Would you mind adding it to the initial list, and
B) Under the 1 thread per user rule, do congas count? I've got a personal thread for all of my referral websites, and I'm now running the YC4F conga. I certainly don't mind deleting the personal thread if this is in opposition to the 1 per user rule, but just asking in case it's actually allowed.

Don't know what you mean by the first question, but for the second, I asked this before and Foladar (the mod in this section) said 1 conga and 1 personal thread is allowed per user.

[draigun]

Alright, thanks. As for the first question, I should have said "active conga list" instead of "initial list". (The active conga list contained in the first post of this thread)

[JennyWren]

I have a question regarding the one-conga rule. I started a Conga Line about a year ago for YouriPodTouch4Free ( http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/...d.php?t=151443 (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=151443) ) and I've been rotating/updating it since I got my three referrals last September.

Your rules state "Users who have abandoned previous congas being led by them will no longer be allowed to run congas."

Does this mean that users who DON'T abandon previous congas being led by them can start another conga line? It's implied by that rule but it also says one conga per user, or is that only that you can BE on one conga at a time?

Just checking....thanks!

[texflex]

Does trainn ck the credit card used for each of your referrals? My mom completed an offer but i paid for it using my credit card. She has her own address but she doesn't have any credit cards, so i used mine. Could that be a problem?

[PopSmith]

Oddly enough I can't create a thread here in the Ref. Central. I have not created a thread yet and I have been a member for more than 30 days. :cry:

Is there some other limit I don't know about?

Trainn allows you to do that too, but it's pretty hard the points way.

[Xfactor19990]

what is the best way to ensure that offers credit? Im confused about cookies etc, can someone PM me.

[Samiam303]

So I did the gamefly trial on yourfree360games.com seven days ago and still no credit recieved. I want to file an MCR, but I foolishly didn't save the confirmation e-mail and Yahoo seems to have purged my trash. Does anyone know of a way to get documentation after the fact?

[Redeema]

Gamefly should take about 10 business days to credit. I think you'll be okay. Otherwise, I think you're s.o.l.

[Samiam303]

Yeah, credit went through tonight. I guess it actually waits to see that you remained a member for seven days, even though it says 2-3 days to credit.

[mkda]

Prepare:

1. Open up a browser
2. Clear all cookies and change your browser settings to allow ALL cookies and popups. If needed, lower your security settings.
3. Disable any security software, especially the ones that prevent popups and cookies from being created.
4. Remove immunization processes that prevent you form visiting certain sites and certain cookies from being created. In other words, it PREVENTS you from going to "bad sites" and installing "bad software". Spywareblaster and Spybot programs do this.
5. Ensure your browser allows javascript/java to load. Firefox has little checkboxes in the options area.

Do it:

1. After you do the above, login to the freebie site and do your offer.
2. Ensure all pages load fully. If you like, wait a couple of moments after you see the progress bar being loaded just to be sure. Also, if popups spawn see if it has anything to do with your offer before closing it.
3. Once the offer is done (you did what was required of you), close the advertiser's site after a few moments

Go back:

1. Re-enable your security software, prevention programs.
2. Launch your browser, and go back to the previous config (if you so choose).

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but do we leave feedback for referral trades since nothing tangible was exchanged? This is for a negative feedback BTW.

[DownShift75]

Hello Downshift here! Just making sure I understand this right, Since I am 10 days new here I have to wait 30 days to post my referrel links in the Referral Forms?

[mkda]

I believe as long as you do some kind of credible trade you can leave feedback. If you did a referral for referral or referral for cash trade, I'm pretty sure it is acceptable.

[DrBrianFields]

I'm interested in trying to get a few newer release 360 games from this... out of curiosity how many offers/referrals would I need to complete to get say... Gear of War 2? A rough idea is fine.

Where do I get started? Hop into one of the conga threads, register under a referral from the previous person to join in then post my referral?

[Redeema]

We don't have congas for the 360 games site. You'd just have to create your own thread for it and unfotunately no one is really signing up for free under another person anymore. You've got to offer a little something in return. Or you could sign up and complete two offers and be done with it. If you pick the right offers you could end up getting Gears 2 for under $10. If you want to try the referral route then you've got to do only one offer and get TWO people to each do at least one offer as well. Good luck. If you want to help me out that'd be awesome. ;)

If the referral still counts towards my progress of getting the item then shoot me a PM with your link and I may be able to accommodate if I end up doing it.

Yes, it helps getting your item (since you have to sign up anyways) and it also helps Redeema (might as well someone out in the process).

[Anexanhume]

I've successfully completed an offer-based site (gadgetcity) and would like to change. I don't want to use my credit card or phone number, but I don't mind giving out my address for snail mail spam. Surveys are fine, but I just want a system that is not difficult to navigate (hard as heck to find the good offers) and I'm just looking for some free xbox 360 points/games or wii games.

Also, is it reasonable to expect to be able to sign up for a site and have enough fill in your name and survey offers on day 1 to actually get a free game or points?

Thanks.

[Redeema]

Only if your game is cheap <$20 otherwise I wouldn't expect to get $50 worth of points in a single day. It'd probably take a bit longer because some don't credit right away or at all. You could try, but I think you'd get tired after trying to do the 20th survey for the day.

[athoran]

does anyone know what trainn/freepay/forcebucks, sites like that, if theres any offers that you can use a prepaid card for? yourgiftcards4free if you want a specific question

[dkNe]

Hey, I don't know if this is the best place to ask, but I'm looking for Pay to Click/Visit/... sites. I find a lot of offer/referral ones here, but I don't want to be dependent on referral nor use a credit card to do offers.

Also, I need them to accept European users and that pay by Paypal or with gift cards to some shop that ships to Europe like Amazon.co.uk.

I'd ask you to send suggestions by PM so this thread doesn't get spammed. I'll register under your referral, if you can link an image of some proof even better as I probably won't be signing up for every site.

Thanks in advance!

Doubt it, unless maybe if you go over $599 from a site (if you do you gotta fill a tax form).

Freebie sites only really want your name and address (and some require a phone #). Advertiser's require this and also a card.

Btw, namaste :)

[TwztedElegance]

Sweet. Now if only I could do all this with a prepaid credit card. Looks like I'll have to ask my dad if I can use his :E

[mkda]

Be careful. Most sites and advertisers don't allow those. Advertisers usually reject the card at sign up, and freebie sites ban you if you do use it.

Yes, you can bump your thread....once a day or so.

Don't think you can delete it.

[Xfactor19990]

is this up to date?

[Redeema]

Is what up to date? Some of the congas have been made anew, so probably not. I haven't seen Foladar around in a while, so I'm not sure if he's still taking care of this thread (and forum) or not. Is there something special you're looking for?

Thanks.

Sorry if this has already been asked and answered, the thread is so big.

Are we allowed to put a referral link in our signature? Or do you have to wait 30 days for that too?

Also, if I did the referral more like a sweepstakes, would it be something I could post into the contests and free stuff forum? Example: I'm using swagbucks, if they sign up with the referral link that's 1 entry in the drawing and every swagbuck they earn after sign up is an additional entry. After a set time I put all there entries in a container and take one at random and whoever it is wins the prize.

[SeriousIampro]

I read something about watching videos to earn prizes, anyone know a site for this?

[Redeema]

Mr. Me that would not be allowable in the Contests forum. That would go here in the referral section.

SeriousIampro, I think there was one, but it wasn't giving out the prizes promised.

[SeriousIampro]

I see, I see.
Could you personally recommend any sites that dont require CC's that give out prizes?

[ensoram]

What offers do you guys recommend on trainn sites? I used to have people do stamps when it was a Level A offer but now it's not even a half Level B offer.

How many times a day can you bump your thread? Because i saw someone who bumped they're thread 5 times within about 14 hours.

[Cage017]

I use E-rewards and I've had little to no problems with them. Are any of the sites offered in this forum (such as Saynation and SwagBucks) on the same level of easiness to use/join?

Is there a limit to how many of these you can join? For example, if you use one site that involves a search engine, are you banned from using other seach engine related sites?

[pbnate88]

whats the deal with lockerz? Prizes are fresh out every single day, looking to pick up madden

[eatwithforks]

So people go on these sites, Lockerz and Swagbucks. You get your prize and you are happy. But, since these sites have your information, have you gotten a increase of telemarketers or junk mail from random people since they have sold your information to them?

Can someone give me some info on Rewards1.com?

I need to enter some certain info, listing my Paypal account email, current password (to Paypal I'm guessing), New Password, and Confirm New Password. I don't think I have to fill out the address section because I believe they'll give me the code through email (if I had been reading correctly). I'm just wondering though, is this legit? Giving away my Paypal account and the password to it seems a little sketchy to me. =\

Can someone help?

[Sw33tbombs]

I have a question, if I make a new paypal account and redeem a $5 paypal giftcard from a freebie site, do I still have to link my account to my bank/credit card in order to receive it? Any fees? Because technically I'm not getting it from someone- I earned it through work.
