For me, it did credit instantly. I'd say within 10 minutes. I got the e-mail about 36 hours later. I was never charged anything, just $1 authorization. After I got the e-mail, I clicked the link and canceled and was never charged anything after that.

Hope that helped.Hmm well that's not good, I signed up 9 hours ago and still no credit. Can I still file an MCR if I cancel it with the link in the email? Because if I cancel it that way, aren't I breaking their rule that you can't cancel offers immediately and they won't give me credit?

I'm pretty sure. I mean think about it; THEY contacted you asking if you wanted to cancel. It's not as if you placed an order & called 5 minutes later to cancel..ya know? :)

I'd say it wouldn't hurt to file for MCR if you don't get credited soon. You should be fine if you cancel your order.

autovantage signup worked for me a few days ago but i couldnt do a complete home signup though. IT would just take me to a balnk page like you.

Hey for those who did Great Fun and Complete Home.. did any of them credit? If you needed MCR, how long did that take? I didn't do those 2 and now that I've learned how to use the wonderful PayPal virtual card.. i'm going to try them!

Grant Consultant still didn't credit. I did it earlier today. Is this normal or does it look like I'll be waiting 7 days? ;(

Great Fun credited for me in 5 days. Complete Home I needed an MCR. It's been 8 days since my MCR and still no credit.

Grant Consultant looks like I'll have to file an MCR for it also.

The headers are most likely user specific.

yeah but i don't have any idea what was in the email.

anything about policy or how to cancel or anything.

it literally vanished from my junk box after i marked it safe but it's not in my inbox either. it's simply gone.

There's a new offer on the site

"Online Business Systems"

But when I click it, it says offer expired, so unknown if there is an issue and/or how much etc. Says it a "next business day" credit.

did you call them? Via e-mail they will tell you that but calling I hear is no big. I didn't order anything so it's a great offer

It tells you from the get go that you have to order 3 books. Read the sign up screen and Terms again. Other people have gotten around that by calling, but I definitely wouldnt call it a crappy offer. Try calling them, it can't hurt.

01-22-2008, 12:55 PM
Yeah Zooba kinda sucked for me. It credited just fine, but I wasn't allowed to cancel unless I had ordered books.. :lol: so I had 2 frigin books come to my apt then I had to send it back then I had to wait for a refund. The whole process only took 3 weeks tops, but still. Not a bad offer, just one of offers you have to try and stay on top of.

I found 2 books that I'd like at Zooba. I can probably find a third. I should probably sign up for this before it goes away.

For Blockbuster, how long have people been staying in before cancelling?

total: $11

all instant all easy to cancel, can do it in one call (same company).

Sorry if my instructions were not clear, you need a new cc for each offer you do. Thats why a paypal vcc (new number generates each time) is useful because i used it to do all 6 offers from that one company.

mev1205
01-22-2008, 07:03 PM
Nope not yet.

EDIT: How do I get a Paypal VCC?I posted this on a previous page so I'll just copy and paste:

First of all, you have to have a Paypal account. You also have to have a "Verified" status, which means that you put down a credit card so they can confirm your address, and that you also put your bank account information in there. In order to get your bank account information in there, just put down your account number and then they put two deposits on your bank account. You have to check your statement and then enter the ammount they deposited in order to get it verified.

Once you've done all that, just install the Paypal plugin and it will be installed in your browser. Then, the next time you do an offer, once you come to the page where you put your credit card information, a little box will pop-down and ask if you want to generate a Single-use or Multi-use card. Choose either and then will generate it and automatically fill in all the credit card info slots.

I just found out about this and it's great, I just did all those offers (eAuction, Increase my Margin) that require different credit cards all in 20 minutes, so now I have five more offers done :D

When Grant Consultant was updated with the 2 piggyback offers they seemed to have removed Network Agenda from the piggyback offers. So if you were signed up with Network Agenda you were most likely not signed up for the other 2 offers.

If you didn't get a confirmation email from either of them (support@blueinstitute.com and support@googad.com) then don't worry about it.

From what I had read in this thread before, this offers took weeks, even months, to credit. Anyways, I probably still shouldn't have to download and install the program, right? And also, for the 4 week trial, when have people canceled? I was thinking after like 21 days maybe?

MSRP + tax + shipping..

My stuff came out to be like $460 worth of MSRP but then another $100 was for tax and shipping as I had asked for a total for 2007 and they told me it was like $560 or so.. and was based on tax/shipping

not a dumb question, I was concerned about taxes too

I would say no, because someone's paying for it.
The tax thing is when you get something for free?'
Such as the oprah show when they give the free cars.

Such as the oprah show when they give the free cars.

This is regarding filing it as income tax on your federal taxes not like sales tax dude. I thought it was for each individual site as long as you stay under $600 but im not sure and would appreciate an answer if anyone knows.

According to my CPA wife:

Any property that you receive from 360games is taxable at it's fair market value as income. The only time you do not get taxed is when it is a gift, where the giver pays the taxes (max $12,000). You are essentially trading labor for payment just like a job. You could get away with not paying the taxes, however the second you receive a 1099 form you are 100% liable for the taxes.

1099, that's it :lol: I thought it was W9 :dunce:

The W-9 was what we sent to Trainn. IIRC, the 1099 will be sent to you, basically stating how much "income" you received in terms of prizes. When filing your 1040 (or 1040EZ), there's a specific section asking about 1099 income. I'm guessing this is where we'll have to designate how much we received. I'm pretty sure I redeemed well over $1000 through Trainn this past year, so I'm hoping this goes well. :-s

It's probably combined between the sites. Email them if you want an official answer.

You can still file it, but they may not give you credit. Sometimes they do, and other times they find you canceled early.

I had one credit this way, and one where they said I canceled too early (which I did on both of them).

the amounts for taxes are separate for all their sites. so you can get $550 worth of games from yourfree360games.com and get $250 from yournintendowii4free.com and still not have to do the w9 or 1099.

Exactly. Whether you receive $60 or $6000 worth of games from this site, it's all taxable to you. Once you hit the $600 mark, it just means you're going to get caught.

Do I actually have to print a stamp or whatever? Any info about STAMPS.COM would be helpful. I received an instant credit from Increase My Margin instantly so I'm only one away from getting it done. Thank You.

estimated shipping is what it means... an estimated day of when the game might ship. it isnt a definitive set date. ive had on game ship 3 days before the estimated date but most ship a few days after. even when you do get the shipped e-mail, though, it still may not have shipped. when i receive games i look at the box and theyre always 2 day or overnight shipping. the packing slip also shows that they did not order the game when i received the shipped e-mail. its more often than not a few days after.

Zooba in my opinion is the easiest offer. You just sign up with your card info. When you're done they ask you to order your books. Just don't do it, you get credited instantly. Then cancel your account by emailing support with your info.

I thought about doing this offer too, until I read this in the fine print:

What is the monthly charge for the posters?
Each month, you will receive two posters for $44.

How much does shipping and handling cost?
Shipping and handling for your introductory offer is $19.05.

I'm new to this Free site and so far its sucks for me.
I completed two offers: stamp.com and Gamefly.
Gamefly's credit never came in, ironically Gamefly is the service that i'm actually keeping.
I filed the MCR on December 26th, now almost a month later nothing.
I sent in a email a week ago and they told me it was because of the holiday breaks and now they are back in normal operations.
ok whatever ... now i still havent got credit.
I didnt think it would take this long, if i did i would have tried to find another offer to do.
This is taking a ASS of a Freaking long time to get through .... almost no worth the game which i know its gonna take a long ass time too ... (got GHIII >.<)
.... free is great ... but its probably gonna take 2 months for it .... crapness

thats why i never do any offers that costs more than $10 and why i always read the websites TOS. thats also the reason why ive run out of offers to do since i already did all the easy ones. i hope they add more offers soon.

No. It's called a "victimless crime" hahaha :applause::applause::booty:

My status is a bit complicated. They cancelled my oldest orders upon request (to avoid taxes for 2007) instead of the newest orders. I freaked out on them, because I was already waiting long enough for the backordered GHIII. They claimed that I wasn't to worry, and that they'd fix it.

My original order date (I think they rectified it) was Dec. 7th. I've been waiting about a month and a half for this one.

The Bargain.com offer is dead. I had tried to do it last week, but it was redirecting to Yahoo instead, so I emailed them. Here is their response:

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us!

I sincerely apologize for the delay in our responding to your ticket.
Due to a large increase in the number of inquiries submitted recently,
unfortunately, we had gotten backed up in answering inquiries. As
we are in the final stages of catching up on the inquiries though, future
correspondence will return to normal response times.

Unfortunately, the Bargain offer has expired and is no longer available
for completion. The offers expired earlier then we had expected
which caused it to redirect to other advertiser offers.

Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any further
questions!

yes it wil if it's a different card number and it doesn't hurt to use a diff e-mail address and maybe missing a letter or so in ur last name (i.e. Davis becomes Davi or Davsi)

what were the order dates of your guy's GHIII so I know where they're up to. I'm guessing it's still basically a month wait from order to receiving eh?

edit: thanks greatscot you posted before I saw it

Maybe a little less. I ordered mine December 31st (just made the tax cut-off) and my first one changed to shipped yesterday. Second one that I ordered Jan 7th changed to Shipping Soon. I'm happy.

Not possible. They only did the gift card thing during the Xmas backlog. The only thing you'll be able to do is cancel and choose something else or hold the credits they refund until there is something you want.

Emusic is not .99, its not a trial. It's a choice of three tiers of one month subscription.
The Dani Jewelry one (whatever the fuck its called) is $9 bucks for a piece of jewelry. The Dance one is 99 (no joke) and I dont remember what Hoodia was except that its $1 + whatever shipping is.

I did eMusic, with the most basic plan (its $9.99 for the first month) but so far I haven't gotten credit or an email. It's supposed to credit instantly. Its probably an offer I'll actually take advantage of, because you get 80 mp3 downloads for 10 bucks (30 for first month + 50 free for signing up).

Hopefully it's not an MCR, since I already have one in for Chuck Teaches eBay and I want to order skate...damnit.

So I ordered DDR Universe 2 on January 10. It had been almost 2 weeks when I emailed them about it never arriving. I just got an answer back from TRAINN informing me that my item was in fact shipped and even gave me a confirmation number that says the same thing, and that was delivered to my home. The thing is that I never got it and most likely was stolen, so is there anything I can do about this situation? Thanks.

was looking at that too... i thought the email came within 24hrs like disney in which case it credits 2-3 days so that way u CAN'T cancel and get credit... at least it seems that way, if anyone tries it let us know

also my GH3 shipped 2day (since amazon got them in today) and I ordered Jan 1st

Ugh, that's annoying. Most likely they are going to treat this like Care Bear's offer then. Even if you call tomorrow it'll be "TOO LATE!" and they will send you the books anyway..and in 2-3 weeks you'll get the books and you'll have to "RETURN TO SENDER". Ugh. How much did they charge you so far? For the Disney offer, I remember being authorized $1 until I recieved the e-mail 36 hours later asking me if I wanted to cancel or not.

Hello all. I'm not sure if this been asked and answered before, I'd imagine so, but I did look around the pages a bit (obviously not all 111) and didn't see an answer.

I'm brand new to these type of sites and just having a bit of trouble figuring out in stamps.com what to do. I know I have to print free postage but I'm not sure exactly how to do that. I go to print stamps but it needs a serial number so I figured I needed to buy netstamps first. Including shipping, the photo ones came to more than $5 so I went with the themed netstamps which are 4.99 and qualify for free shipping. However, when I go to checkout, the order summary still charges me 3.07 for shipping for a total of 8.06. Will this automatically reduct from my postage palance of 5.00 or will it use my credit card? And how do I make sure shipping is free like it's supposed to be apparently? Finally, is this what I'm supposed to be doing in the first place in order to complete this order or is their an easier way altogether? This is definetly one of the trickier offers so far (probably because it's free).

Also, I heard paypal virtual credit cards were recommended by many people for various reasons. Where do you find these though? I checked the site all over and only found plus and debit cards.

SpiderLocMTGO
01-27-2008, 05:43 PM
As for the paypal virtual cards, check the left side of the screen when you log in and click on the paypal tools thingy. it will install and generate a card for you whenever you get to a site that asks for a cc.

I didn't have to actually print anything for Stamps.com to go through. You may have to end up filing an MCR.

You do not have to print postage out. As long as you install and run the program, you should be good.

Granted, you may have to fill out a MCR for the offer, but you would still likely have to do that even when printing out postage.

For the record, I don't think the process you are describing is the way to print out the postage. You definitely should not be adding further charges to the account to print.

Jersiah
01-27-2008, 06:23 PM
Ok, thanks. If just opening the program and running it for a bit is what most people have to do to get the credit, it definetly does sound like a mcr is necessary. Should I bother calling the service itself (stamps.com) or just waiting the 7 days and then doing the mcr? Actually, in general, is calling the places ever a good idea or should you just wait it out and see what happens?

Also, thanks for the help finding the paypal thing, was looking for something called virtual credit card or something to that effect and had no idea it was called 'Paypal Plug-in'. Got it now.

Thanks again, guys.

if you use a virtual paypal card and generate a single use card it will work even though they are the same company.

My question is, if you do all those auction sites together in a period, when you go to cancel, do they just bring up the account your name is under and just cancel all of them in one go? That'd be sweet,

I've already done most at seperate times, but I'm having my neighbor sign up and use his paypal CC and would like to know if this is possible..
