DO NOT POST REFERRAL LINKS IN THIS THREAD!

Use Ctrl + F to search the OP for specific results!

Frequently Asked Questions:

How much does this cost to sign up?
Signing up for the website is completely free. They don’t spam your email either. If you are signing up to the site, I recommend using someone’s referral link (to be discussed below).

I signed up. How do I get a game?
There are two account options on their website: The Points Account and Referral Account.

Points Account: My personal favorite, as you don’t have to pester other people. With a points account, you must try and complete TWO offers.

Referral Account: With a referral account, you are given a special web address. You give this link out to friends and others online (NOT in this thread). If they click it and complete an offer of their own, you get one referral credit. Collect TWO of these credits (two people must complete one offer each with your link) and complete ONE offer of your own to get your game.

Can I switch between a Points account and a Referral account?
Yep.

What if I have received a referral credit from somebody? Can I switch to a Points Account? Will I lose the referral credit?
You can freely switch between the two account types without losing credits. I have done this in the past and never lost any credits.

Can I use prepaid/gift credit cards to complete trials?
This gets asked often. It will vary on an offer-to-offer basis. I asked Trainn specifically, and the rep told me they don’t mind if you are using them. However, they did mention some companies will not recognize prepaid cards. I myself don’t use them, so I can’t tell you which allow them and which don’t. Try it at your own risk.

What about Paypal one-time use cards?
You can indeed use these. Log in to Paypal, and click the "Paypal Plug-In" on the left side. Install the plug-in, and you can then use one-time use Mastercard credit cards.

Could I just close the one-time use card out, and not cancel the trial?
You could, but it really annoys me (and others). For a while, many trials took down the option of using Mastercard credit cards on their sites. And you know why? Because too many people were simply closing cards, rather than cancelling the trials. Don't do this! Eventually, they may take down Mastercard use permanently, and this affects many of us. Take the five minutes to cancel your trials!

What offers do you recommend?
We cannot specifically tell you which offers to do here in the thread. Read the comments in here and check the offer descriptions. You should be doing offers you are interested in. To help out, I have compiled a list of offers that I have personally completed. Their details are located in the second post of this thread.

I signed up for an offer. How do I cancel it?
This comes up more often than it should. Almost every offer must be canceled with a phone call. Some offers can be canceled online, but I still recommend using their customer service number. Why? Because you get a cancellation number on the spot.

Please do not specifically ask how to cancel an offer. We are not allowed to discuss those matters on CAG.

Can I just cancel the trial as soon as I sign up for it?
Technically, you could…but I wouldn’t recommend it. Trainn will most likely close your account, and ban you from using their site.
I use my own system for cancelling:

If the trial is 7 days long, cancel on the fourth day.
If the trial is 14 days long, cancel on the seventh day.
30 day trial? Cancel on the twentieth day.

Those are just the numbers I use, and I have never had any problems. The only reason why they would close your account is if you are cancelling practically right after you sign up. Don’t do that, and you will be fine!

Can I repeat offers? I mean, couldn’t I just sign up again for the same offer?
Nope. Once you complete an offer, it will not allow you access to it again.

What if I make another account?
They will probably find out (overlapping IP addresses) and close both of your accounts. I wouldn’t recommend trying it.

I signed up for an offer but I have not received credit for it. What happened?
Every offer will not go through 100% of the time. Many users recommend clearing your browser cookies before signing up for an offer. I myself don’t usually do this, and have only had problems with a few offers. Trainn (the company running YourFree360Games.com) has an option on their website to get credit. It is the Missing Credit Request (MCR).

Under the Support tab, choose View your click history. If it has been seven days since you signed up for the offer, a Request Credit link will be next to the offer. Follow the directions on their site to get your credit.

But it hasn’t been seven days since I did the trial. Can I fill out an MCR?
Nope. The option won’t be available. Just wait it out. It will appear after seven days.

It says I need full headers with my MCR email. What are these?
Full headers show IP addresses, as well as many other options. You must enable them before sending Trainn your email. Go to Google if you need to find out how to turn headers on with the email provider you are using (Hotmail, Gmail, etc.).

Trainn gave me this (http://www.rochester.edu/its/email/spam/headers.html) link. I'd read up if you are having trouble with headers!

What if I received no email from the trial company?
CAG galvatron2k1 had this to say:

Send the company an e-mail requesting the following information (by e-mail):
member/account ID
product/service ordered
date of sign-upI had asked Trainn about this before (as I never got a confirmation from Increase My Margin) and this is what they need to process the MCR. Once the company sends you this information back, paste the e-mail in the MCR request with full headers as you would normally do with a confirmation e-mail.

My MCR was filed a few days ago, and nothing has been updated. What now?
You can find a Support Ticket request section under Support and then View your support tickets. Fill one of those out and (nicely!) ask them to check on it for you. I have never filled out a support ticket myself. Why? Because I prefer to email them. Their customer service staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Send them an email at: contact@trainn.org if you like. Nicely ask them to check on the MCR for you. They will need the email address you used on their site to sign up. NOTE: They usually take 48 hours to reply to your email.

Recently, Trainn has been slipping a bit, due to the excess traffic around the holidays. They are now taking 4 - 5 days on average to reply to emails.

I was ready to order a game, but it says I must submit my account for review. What is this?
You chose a referral account. They check your account to make sure your account is not violating any of their terms. It usually takes them five or so days before the review is complete. You just have to bite the bullet and wait it out. If you can’t stand the waiting, don’t do a referral account!
When their review is complete, a Click here to place your order link will be on your main page. It means your account was reviewed and you can now place your order.

I just ordered my game and I am ready for more. What do I do now?
Good deal. When you are ready to order another game, simply find and click the Reset your account button. This will NOT mess up anything you have previously done. In fact, you should click it as soon as you see it available. It clears off the old data, and allows you to earn another game.
Just to say it again: It does NOT hurt your account in any way!

I’m not ready to order a game, but I would like to save up some credits for the future. Is this possible?
Yes it is. I (and other users) have completed many offers at once and saved them up. However, the credits will not really be shown on your account all at once. Once you do order a game and reset your account, the next credits should appear where the old ones were. This will make more sense once you check the site out.

Could you shed some light as to when games get ordered and when they get shipped out? Do you send games all at the same time? Any particular day/night?
I asked Trainn this question directly, because so many were asking in the previous threads. Here is what they had to say:

“Orders are fulfilled within 7 days of being placed (excluding pre-orders), but, we do not have a specific fulfillment days or times for the orders. We simply fulfill the orders 2-3 times a week.”

Basically, they have no set time on delivery. And they are getting extremely backed up from so many Guitar Hero III orders, so don’t order that game if you can’t wait. It will take a long while before you get it!

Can I return a game/accessory to Amazon and get a Gift Certificate in exchange?
No. Amazon used to send gift certificates to uses that did this. Then, too many people took advantage, and Amazon noticed they were all gifts coming from Trainn. They now usually ignore the requests, meaning you send back your game and get nothing. You'd have to jump through many hoops with Trainn and Amazon to even try and get anything back. Definitely not worth the trouble (and risk).

When do they update the site with new games?
They update once per month. In the last few months, the update has came the second week of the month. So, expect an update between the 10th and 15th of any given month.

I heard you received over $600 worth of games from their site. True? And what’s this I heard about a tax form?
Yes, I have received more than $600 in goods from them. If you do this within one year, you are required to send them a W9 IRS tax form. You must then claim it on your taxes for the year. The form is here (http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf). It is a standard prize claim form; 100% legitimate. Your account will be locked down until you send them the form. But again, this won’t apply unless you get more than $600 worth of merchandise from them.

Once you have filled out the form, you can mail it to Trainn at this address:

Transcendent Innovations, Inc.
9624 S. Cicero Ave #319
Oak Lawn, IL, 60453

Trainn doesn't really send you any warning about reaching the $600 limit. When you order a game after passing the threshold, the status: "ATTN: Contact Required" will appear next to the most recent game you ordered. Just send them a support request or email, letting them know you sent your form.

CAG nihilopt gave some great tax information:

If Trainn sends you $600 or more worth of items, they are required by federal law to file a form with the IRS reporting these "winnings"

This occurs because all items you recieve from Trainn are winnings, and technically all winnings should be reported on your tax returns. However, the IRS only requires those providing winnings to report them if they amount to $600 or more. They don't want to bother with added paperwork from every time somebody won $5 from a lottery scratcher. So if you make less than $600 in winnings, even though you are supposed to report it, the IRS has no real way of checking if you made them.

Winnings are income.

That means that you will pay income tax on winnings. Getting $1000 worth of stuff from Trainn bumps the amount of money you made this year up by $1000.

Here are the current income tax brackets:

Income Range: $0 - $7,825
Tax: 10% of the amount over $0

Income Range: $7,826 - $31,850
Tax: $782.50 plus 15% of the amount over $7,825

Income Range: $31,851 - $77,100
Tax: $4,386.25 plus 25% of the amount over $31,850

Income Range: $77,101 - $160,850
Tax: $15,698.75 plus 28% of the amount over $77,100

Income Range: $160,851 - $349,700
Tax: $39,148.75 plus 33% of the amount over $160,850

Income Range: $349,701 and up
Tax: $101,469.25 plus 35% of the amount over $349,700

If you are a student, and would otherwise have 0 income, then you are in the first tax bracket. So you pay a 10% tax rate. If Trainn sent you $599 in stuff, you'd pay $0 taxes on that. If Trainn sent you $600 in stuff, you'd pay $60 taxes on that. $2000 in stuff = $200 taxes. But it isn't really that easy. You also get to take a deduction. If you give a lot to charity, or have other means of getting plenty of deductions, you can itemize your deductions. Chances are this isn't the case, which means you just take a standard deduction. For 2007, the standard deduction is $5350 for single, non-head-of-household people. That basically means you get to erase up to $5350 worth of your income.

So if you otherwise made $0, and Trainn sent you $2000 worth of stuff, you'd still have to fill out the form once hitting $600, but come April of 2009 (when you're filling out your 2008 tax return) your stadard deduction is able to completely erase the $2000 of winnings you got, making your effective taxable income $0. So you pay 10% of $0... which is $0.

Note: if you are claimed as a dependant (for example: your parent still claim you as one), the $5350 deduction described above doesn't apply to you. Many factors can increase the amount you deduct, such as having dependents (kids), being married, paying for your or a dependant's tuition, mortgage payments, etc.

Long story short: if you have little or no income, getting more than $600 worth of stuff probably won't cause you to pay taxes. If you do pay taxes, it's probably best for you to stay under the $600 mark. If you're planning to go way way above the $600 mark it might still be worth it (if you're in the 25% bracket, and get $2000 of stuff from Trainn, you'd pay $500 in taxes on it. But you might still prefer that to getting $550 stuff from Trainn and paying $0 in taxes on it.)

Hope this helps clear things up for people

Disclaimer: None of this is legal advice, and should not be considered to be legal advice.

Any other tips?
Yes! This is, IMO, the most important part of using their site: Keep track of your information!

Here’s how I do it:
Create a new Word document.
When you sign up for a new trial, copy/paste the email into the Word document
Look around on the trial site for their Terms and Conditions section.
Copy down their cancellation terms (how many days the trial lasts), as well as the phone number you need to call to cancel the trial. Paste this information into the Word document.
Keep the document neat and keep it updated!
When you successfully cancel an offer, put the cancellation number and the date you canceled into the Word document, for future reference. This will help if you suddenly see a charge on your credit card.Don’t cancel too close to the end of the trial date! Most places are not open on weekends. And make sure to watch for holidays. They will be closed then too.

Plan ahead for wait times! Most of these companies have you on hold for a number of minutes. Don’t try and cancel an offer at 4:30 when they close at 5:00! Make sure and have a few days (and a few hours) ready when you cancel. That way, if you don’t get in at first, you can try again later.

Last tidbits
If you sign up for an offer and do not get credit for it, don’t keep the trial open past the specified date. For example, you sign up for a seven day trial, and it hasn’t credited yet. You wait until day ten or so, in hopes that your credit will appear. DO NOT do this! Cancel before the trial is up. You can still file an MCR for an offer you have already canceled. I have done it more than a couple times myself.

If you have a question not answered here, ask in this thread. There are many helpful people around here. Just make sure it hasn’t been answered 100 times before!

I gladly answer PM messages, as long as you are friendly and have a legitimate issue. Feel free to send me a question if it isn’t getting answered in here.



archibishopthedoge provided some more Q&A:

Does Trainn provide tracking numbers?

No. Although the site states that a tracking number will be provided if it becomes available, the majority of the regular users of this site have never received one. However, considering the majority of their orders are from retailers, you can email Trainn if you feel your order is late or hasn't arrived and they can look into it for you. There have also been reports of people receiving tracking numbers by requesting them directly from Trainn, but that is definitely YMMV.

I ordered ____ on (day). When will it get here?

None of us can answer this with a definitive answer. Trainn doesn't work like a retailer. Using information from the regular users, it seems that they have specific days of the week that they place orders, but it changes at times. Once shipped, you can expect your item to arrive anywhere from 3-10 days.

Note on Guitar Hero III

This game is an exception to the above. There have been reports of it taking weeks-months to receive once you put the order in. This is getting better lately, but there is still a delay from the norm with this game because of it's popularity amongst users on the site.

Where do they order the games from?

They order the games almost exclusively from Amazon. On occasion if a game is very popular (i.e. the 2007 holiday season and GHIII) they will order from other vendors, like Circuit City, or even shipped directly from Trainn themselves.. This is not the norm though. Most of the time they will be from Amazon.

How do the games ship?

Almost exclusively UPS, like the vendor question though, there are exceptions. There have been reports of games arriving via FedEx and DHL, but again, these are exceptions to the rule. If you're ordering a "regular" game, 9/10 times it will come UPS via 1st or 2nd day air, and same with GHIII, most of the time it's UPS, but there are exceptions.

1st or 2nd day air? WTF?! You said above that I shouldn't expect it for 3-10 days!

This applies to the somewhat "erratic" way that Trainn processes orders. Even if you receive a shipping email on say Monday, it's not guaranteed to have been ordered/shipped from the vendor yet. The regular users have come to see this as the day the order was placed, but not necessarily shipped. Rest assured, your game is likely in the next queue to go out, and it will be to you shortly. Again, there's always exceptions. The author of this FAQ once received a shipped email on a Wednesday, and the game on that same Friday. However, most of the time it's about a week to arrival from the shipped email. There also seems to be multiple order days per week. It just depends on when the game is physically shipped, not when you receive the shipped email.

What game should I order?

You're on one of the best video game communities on the Internet, head over to the dedicated 360 section and read some user opinions, or go on over to a review site like IGN, Gamespot, or TeamXbox and read some reviews. Don't limit yourself when trying to choose. If you're on the fence about an order, you can always stack your credits and wait until something comes along that is what you really want.

When does ____ come out? When will Trainn add ____?

Amazon is very reliable with release dates for the most part if the game/item has a definitive street date. Just search for the item on there and look at the description, you can even see future dates for preorder items on the search results. The 360 section here has threads dedicated to many games, and chances are the release date will be in the first post of that thread or even in the subject. Trainn normally updates 1-2 times per month, however this is not scheduled and tends to be different every month. They usually will add the next months releases in an update, but there are occasions when they will get things that are pretty far out from release. If the recent posts are talking about an update, chances are theres some new choices.

My credit still stayed and I never was charged, and never received books. Do this at your own risk!

thank you!

[GLOCKGLOCK]

Great work Rig! Thanks for starting up the new thread! Excellent information in there. Please everyone read it thoroughly.

I'll also offer to help anyone if they have questions. Post them in the thread or send me a PM!

CHEERS! :beer:

[sventhebruin]

Rig is the man:applause:

[gimmepilotwings]

I have been waiting for Blockbuster credit for about the same amount of time.

Can I sign up for a 3rd offer, while I am waiting for them to get credit? Or do I have to wait? Don't you have to reset your account or something like that?

I'd like to get GHIII in hand before the end of the year if possible.

That's not going to happen, unfortunately. They are extremely backordered and there are people from the beginning of November who are still waiting for it :(

[spidamatrix]

A nice new clean thread, thanks Rig, also just signed up for GreatFun last night is it supposed to be an instant credit, or how long have you guys waited?

[mcdaking84]

nice. I have got so many games from this, love it.

[gimmepilotwings]

That's not going to happen, unfortunately. They are extremely backordered and there are people from the beginning of November who are still waiting for it :(

Thanks, but that doesn't really answer my most important question. Could I sign up for 2 more offers, so I could get another game, while I deal with this MCR madness?

[glare]

Thanks, but that doesn't really answer my most important question. Could I sign up for 2 more offers, so I could get another game, while I deal with this MCR madness?

If you look up on top of the forum it says that you can complete many offers at once and save them up. I know when I was waiting on my MCR for stamps.com I was still allowed to do other offers; hope that answers your question.

[Rig]

Thanks, but that doesn't really answer my most important question. Could I sign up for 2 more offers, so I could get another game, while I deal with this MCR madness?
If you need to reset your account, go ahead and reset it. Nothing will change.

Yes, you can continue doing offers, even while waiting on the MCR. I think I explained this in the OP.

To spidamatrix, I believe GreatFun credited exactly five days after I signed up. I think everyone signing up for that offer had the five day wait. Could be mistaken though.

[aznguyen316]

tagged for life!

[lobitoh]

I have a question I filed a MCR on the 17 and till today no response and my trials expires among next week ,what should i do?

Thank you very much sir, and forgot to post week and a half ago I did 2 quick offers and got NHL 08 yesterday in the mail! I am in love with this site.

[gimmepilotwings]

Thanks and Rig too.

I'm sure this has been asked many times, but of the instant offers, I was very surprised with Stamps.com They gave me instant credit. Which of the other ones will do the same?

This whole blockbuster not receiving credit is making me angry.

[mcdaking84]

does anyone know the cancel numbers for carebear and dr.suess?

i still havent received the books and cant finda number anywhere

[Lsgun1]

Awesome, already completed 2 offers, now what to get... Do they ever offer consoles for like 10 offers?

[elpolloestupendo]

Anybody have any idea how long Trainn generally takes to respond to support tickets? I ordered my GHIII way back when (November 13th) and I sent them a ticket asking if I could get the gift card instead, like some people have been offered.

Also, I know people have mentioned that Trainn tracks by IP. If I've logged onto my account using someone else's computer and that person now wants to make their own account, what do you guys think will happen? We're in different households, so it's not against the rules or anything. I just wanted to make sure Trainn wasn't super strict about matching IPs or anything. If you've got any experience or have been through a similar situation, any help would be much appreciated.

[Rig]

I have a question I filed a MCR on the 17 and till today no response and my trials expires among next week ,what should i do?
Read the OP.

Cancel the service before the trial period is up. Send Trainn an email asking about the MCR. They will respond in two days.

DO NOT KEEP THE SERVICE OPEN PAST THE TRIAL DATE. One credit is not worth the charges your credit card will receive. You can still receive an MCR after you have already canceled a service.


does anyone know the cancel numbers for carebear and dr.suess?

i still havent received the books and cant finda number anywhere
You can check order status here (http://HomeClubs.Scholastic.com/cancelorder).

The customer service number is: 1-800-353-3140.

Note: That is for the Dr. Seuss offer. I don't know if they use the same information for the Disney offer.

As I said in the OP, send them an email. It is easier and usually faster than filing a support ticket.

I don't think anything will happen if you just signed on. I think the real issue would be when going to the trial websites and completing offers using the same IP. They could check credit card numbers as well, but I don't know if anybody know for sure how they do it.

YESSS!!

I have now passed the 78 dollar mark on my mysterious Extra GH3 bundle

and since i was fucked over by the overnight genius offer I have succesfully made a profit of an amazing...52 cents!!!

Im in the money baby!

[Rig]

thanks

No problem.

I added what information I had about the offer to my list in the second post. If anybody that did the offer could help me fill in the other information, that would be great. Thank you.

[Coyotezeye]

Sorry to post this here.. I tried searching in the other thread but I got a blank white screen for some reason...

I signed up for Great Fun on the 14th of Nov... Never got an email. But I did get my membership card in the mail today... Needless to say it didnt credit so I need to file a MCR. But I do not have a email so I can not provide headers.

Can I do a MCR without a email & just provide the membership #?

Thanks

Just did.. the CSR said that the email is sent out automatically when you sign up. The only thing she can do is mail a copy of my membership info...

Guess I will try to file a MCR, but doubt I will get credit..
I checked my email too and never saw it when I signed up...

I am pretty sure Trainn won't give you credit without an email.

The best way to find out is to email Trainn and fill them in on the situation. Give them your member number and such, and see if they can't help you out that way.

[SpitFire158]

I signed up for gamefly on the 29th but i have yet to be credited. Should i file for an MCR?

[Ernest_360]

To spidamatrix, I believe GreatFun credited exactly five days after I signed up. I think everyone signing up for that offer had the five day wait. Could be mistaken though. Just wanted to confirm with Rig. I signed up on a Wednesday and received credit the following Monday for GreatFun. In fact, for all the offers I have done, I signed up on a Wednesday and have never, ever needed to file an MCR. Also, thanks Rig for hosting the latest link in this long chain and for your invaluable information in the first two posts. Honestly, you are a vital part of CAG and the official guru of free 360 games. Cheers to you!

[Rig]

I signed up for gamefly on the 29th but i have yet to be credited. Should i file for an MCR?
Definitely! If the option is available, you should put your MCR in as soon as you can. Send them an email while you are at it, and you could potentially get credit by the weekend.

And thanks for the kind words, Ernest. They are much appreciated! :D

[ZerotypeX]

thanks rig

still waiting for my mcr for YSC, hopefully i get credit soon

Send the company an e-mail requesting the following information (by e-mail):
member/account ID
product/service ordered
date of sign-upI had asked Trainn about this before (as I never got a confirmation from Increase My Margin) and this is what they need to process the MCR. Once the company sends you this information back, paste the e-mail in the MCR request with full headers as you would normally do with a confirmation e-mail.


Rig,

If this information is allowed, it may be helpful to put it in the first 2 posts.

[Rig]

Added it to the OP, galvatron. Thanks!

[Leek]

Glad you finally made a new thread :) My Assassins Creed shipped on December 2nd, and I got an email saying it should be here usually within 5 business days, so with some luck it'll be tomorrow or saturday. I CAN'T WAIT :D
I'm going to Raleys after school for a prepaid gift card, thanks for the offer list dude. I need 1 more offer for the simpsons game :)

[Maxspeed1997]

Two new offers up today. Dealmax gave me credit within 5 minutes.

[spidamatrix]

Hey guys I have a question. I signed up for Yahoo Success center, and when I looked at my bank account today I was charged for 2 different things at 1.95 a piece. Is this normal? And if so are there 2 different number to cancel?

[evanft]

Just signed up for Dealmax. Some info:

Dealmax
Cost: $2?
Trial Duration: 7 days
Cancellation Number: 1-800-548-0685 and 1-877-820-7107
Special Notes: Like some of the other offers, you also get signed up for another thing called SavingSmart. This is the second number. Cancel it immediately.

EDIT: Credited instantly, ordered Oblivion GOTY.

Does anyone know if they ship thing in the order you order them, or just whenever its available?

[ZerotypeX]

just signed up with dealmax and got credit. Great offer for instant credit and placed an order for Assassin's Creed.

[magus83]

I did Simply you and was able to cancel online, it credited quickly also, great offer.

I'm having problems tho with blockbuster online, today is the 5th business day and i have not yet received credit. Also in their confirmation email, it seems bugged and doesn't show an account number will this be a problem when I send in a MCQ?

Also am i able to cancel blockbuster online during the trial of the first month or do I have to wait until the second?

[dcgm]

Dealmax looks awesome. Not gonna let this one slip by like the grant offer one.
Question about referrals: I have one referral but i want to switch over to points so I can order a game now. If I do that, will my referral be lost if I want to switch back to a referral account AFTER I order? Do you get the same referral link again? I hope so.

[Rig]

Just did the Dealmax offer. I will be putting its information up soon. Thanks for the notes, evan!

EDIT: Added to the list of offers in the second post.

EDIT 2: Received credit for Dealmax in about five minutes!

[evanft]

Yeah, it's basically just like ATR in terms of cost and ease.

[Rig]

I am going to add this to the OP. Forgot about it until you asked this question.

Yes, you can switch between points and referral accounts without losing referral credits. I have done it in the past.

I would assume you are given the same referral link, but I cannot confirm that part, since I never really looked at my link.

Still waiting on my MCR for autovantage...

Edit: Ordered another GHIII. Switched back to referral account and I can confirm that I have the same referral link.

[dcgm]

Sorry for the double post, but I dont want to cram all the information into edits. Has anyone tried the bargain homes offer? Seems pretty sweet as well. $1 just like the other great offers. Im gonna try it in a little while.

[GLOCKGLOCK]

Man these people that run the Yahoo Savings Club and Google SEO Supervisor really screwed up my account this last go through. I cancelled both within the 14 day trial period and both of them they billed me on my CC even though I called a number of times to verify my accounts were cancelled.

Luckily they quicly refunded my YSC this week when I called and now today I noticed they charged for Google. I called them back up and everything checks out and they put through the refund, but it is really a pain. Its really odd because I did Quickbooks, eauction and increase my margin and had no issues.

As I posted before, be careful with all your offers. Keep good records of everything, check your CC statements and if you see anything that doesn't make sense call the customer service numbers immediately.

[iguss]

Anyone try to cancel the 2nd thing in Dealmax? It says that you need to send an email? How do I talk to a representative?

[gimmepilotwings]

Ok, I have another question. When I try to sign up for a few of the offers, (Dealmax, AtHome, etc) it tells me that I am not eligible.

Pretty sure this is because at one point I tried to earn a xbox 360 from another referral site that was absolutely horrid, and this company was part of it. However, I never did the AtHome, Dealmax etc with the other company.

Is this just a cookie issue? Or do they track your name and address stuff?

Does the name that you provide, have to match the name from your account? There is about 3 or 4 of those offers that I can't do because I am not eligible, and that sucks.

Thanks again.

Oh, and Yahoo gave me instant credit.

[Rig]

The second offer is the YourSavingsClub offer again. I have a feeling those of us that have already cancelled it will not be entered into it again. I tried to obtain my member number, and they couldn't find one using my phone number. So, again, you may not be signed up for the second offer (assuming you already were on a previous offer).

For me, it was always because I had used my credit card on one of the company's previous offers. If you can, try using a second credit card. That always solved the problem for me.

I just completed the Bargain.com offer. Same company as the Dealmax. Hoping it credits here in a couple minutes.

EDIT: Hasn't credited yet. I have a feeling it's because I signed up for both within a close period of time (same thing happened with my eAuction). I had to file an MCR on the second one I tried to sign up for.

Oh well. They already sent me a welcome email for Bargain. Still don't see one for Dealmax yet though. Anybody get a welcome email from them yet?

I have tried a couple different CC's and they aren't working. Hope that's not the case.

Anywho. I signed up for the GHIII bundle, and the order email contains a shipping date of the 14th. Can I expect to have them ship this at the date, or is this just a generic email that they always include a date, and because of GHIII, I won't receive it for a while.

Thanks,

[evanft]

Did Great Fun. How long does it take to credit?

[FatoonsBaby710]

Nope I dint get an email from dealmax yet. I did get credit though. Is it one of those where we're going to have to call to get our member number?

For the most part it's true for all the games except GHIII which is extremely backordered. Expect to wait until January before it arrives as people who ordered back at the beginning of November are still waiting for theirs (nov. 11th for me).

[wwf20112]

For people who didn't get thier membership number for deal max go to www.mydealmax.com (http://www.mydealmax.com) click on forgot id then click e-mail addy and it will give it to you :).

Instant credit for me too!

[FatoonsBaby710]

Fantastic thanks wwf

[rocray]

Ive been waiting since Nov 15 for my GH III Bundle to ship.

[FatoonsBaby710]

Anything on Bargain.com?

[Phasher99]

I think Rig is right. I've cancelled yoursavings club before and this new offer that comes with dealmax is called savingsmart. I went on http://www.savingsmart.com/ and tried to recover my member # using my email and it says it can't be found.

*I just logged onto Dealmax's website, looks like they have an option for online cancellation

[wwf20112]

Just signed up bargin.com (No credit yet) and privacy matters (credited in 10 mins) I am having problems logging into bargin.com and the other thing wisehousebuyer anyone else having problems logging in those two?

[msane]

Did Dealmax and got credit in about 5 mins. No email yet, but it's only been a couple minutes. Now I need to do one more so I have credits for when they add Burnout Paradise in January.

[Moose_Man]

Is it just me or is the site getting slow, Ive been waiting on an MCR for almost three weeks now and a 4000 point card has been processing for over a week now.

[wwf20112]

Is it just me or is the site getting slow, Ive been waiting on an MCR for almost a week now and a 4000 point card has been processing for over a week now.

My Mass Effect i ordered took 9 days to process when i ordered it on nov 15th (on a points account).They are probably getting thousand's among thousand's of orders from people and probably ebay'ers who pick up guitar hero 3 to sell there for some quick and easy cash. Then you got other orders from regulars and then u got orders from people who are new to the site. I would give them up to 14 days to ship.

[spidamatrix]

hey sorry for double post, just wondering still about the Yahoo offer. I signed up for this and got charged 2 $1.95 by 2 diff companies. Is this normal with them?

[dcgm]

MCR's can take up to 10 business days.

All of my orders shipped on the 8th day, except Mass Effect which was shipped out on the 6th day. It arrived at my door 2 days later.

Right on, in the end tho its all good, it's all free so I have no problem waiting it out.

Just signed up for Dealmax a few minutes ago, just got credited for it as Im typing this :D. Gonna pick up another 4000 point card or Scene It.

Damn and I just realized I said ive been waiting a week for an MCR, I meant I've been waiting 3 weeks for it, stupid Overnight Genius crap.

[SpitFire158]

And is Bargain.com the same company and do u need a new credit card?

Cool I will do that. Thanks for the heads up.

[Rig]

I got an email from Dealmax earlier.

Still no Bargain.com credit.

And I noticed a few questions above that have already been answered in the OP. You guys really need to read that. :razz:

[aznguyen316]

I just did dealmax and plan on doing bargain but prob will wait a few days so I don't get screwed with receiving credit.. prob do it w/ a different card as well =) anyway.. I read in OP and read through this thread about those two and wanted to make sure

(dealmax and bargain) are same but seperate companies from privacy, simply and ahr correct?

has anyone gotten credit for both bargain and dealmax instantly or was it the case like Rig? I just got credited for dealmax as I wrote this =)

[CaHooKaMan]

dealmax credited. still waiting on bargain.com.

[mcdaking84]

anyone getting this with dealmax?

i enter all my info, press sumbit then it goes to a blank page saying deal max error

[joe2187]

YES!! After 2 months and one fucked up offer later all my MCR's went through

EXCEPT the dr suess offer...That one's been a real bother

Just ordered mass effect!

[Leek]

Assassins Creed didn't come!!!!!!!! Fucking but head fucking shipping. It shipped on December 2nd. I am praying it'll be here by tomorrow.
"3-5 business days". I don't see why people order the GHIII since it has so much trouble shipping, when they can order Creed, Simpsons Game, or Halo 3 and have no problem with it. By the way, going to Raleys in an hour or two and going to get another prepaid for the new deals :D

[lobitoh]

does anyone one know or have been through with the offer GREAT FUN?
can anyone guide me to (what should I do since I already sended an MCR request but no answer back :( and its expiring around next week the trial...
another question i had already received stamps.com credit (i applied on the nov 17) can I cancel that now?
thank you for your time

[CaHooKaMan]

If you get a order confirmed email just reply back to them for support. Don't have the exact email on hand

[Nelo Ice]

their email is contact@trainn.org (contract@trainn.org)

Any Canadian CAGs have advice? I'm trying to get Orange Box but I've run out of offers. I did Increase My Margin last summer to get Shadowrun, so I can't do any of the other offers from that company. I already have a Zip.ca account, so that won't work. Every other offer I try gives me either a "This page cannot be displayed/Cannot find server" or redirects me to some piece of spyware called Smiley Central.

[sventhebruin]

Damn, this is gonna take forever. It's already been a couple days since I submitted my account for review and I still gotta wait for the proccessing and shipping times



And if I'm dumb enough to order GHIII....:drool:

[SpitFire158]

Can anyone tell me what it means to put your account into review?

[dcgm]

When they review your account they're just checking out your referrals to make sure they're legit.

No credit from Bargain either. I think it may be an MCR for all of us :/

[SpitFire158]

Do you have to go through an account review?

[Ernest_360]

Do you have to go through an account review? Everyone with a referral account must go through a review when submitting for their free game. This is done to verify that your two referrals are green and that everyone adhered to the TOS.

[sventhebruin]

Well, this is weird. Right after I bitch about how long the process is gonna take, my account gets done reviewing and is ready to order. Happy birthday to me. \\:D/



Now, do I do GHIII or CoD4??

[aznguyen316]

Well, this is weird. Right after I bitch about how long the process is gonna take, my account gets done reviewing and is ready to order. Happy birthday to me. \\:D/



Now, do I do GHIII or CoD4??
if you want to wait at least a month + then GHIII, but CoD4 is great! MP aspect A+

[Edge of Heart]

Has anyone been credited for bargins.com yet?

[wwf20112]

Has anyone been credited for bargins.com yet?
Nope not yet maybe tomorrow i highly doubt it but it would be nice not to file a MCR

[aznguyen316]

I just noticed bargain.com is a report same day not instant.. so maybe we should wait just a sec =)

[Rig]

does anyone one know or have been through with the offer GREAT FUN?
can anyone guide me to (what should I do since I already sended an MCR request but no answer back :( and its expiring around next week the trial...
another question i had already received stamps.com credit (i applied on the nov 17) can I cancel that now?
thank you for your time

*sigh*

The first post in this thread has the answers to those questions.

[archibishopthedoge]

Well, this is weird. Right after I bitch about how long the process is gonna take, my account gets done reviewing and is ready to order. Happy birthday to me. \\:D/



Now, do I do GHIII or CoD4??
It depends on how much you value a wait over getting a game within 2 weeks. You could seriously (and probably will be) waiting until January for GHIII.

COD4 is WELL worth it. IMO its GOTY and probably best MP game ever on Live.

GHIII is great, especially the value, but if you wait till after the holidays, it will be easier to get.

[DarkD-]

How long is it takking you guys to get it shipped? I ordered Halo 3 on Sunday and it still says that its Processing.

[bhk]

Just to give people an idea of the wait for GHIII, I order my bundle October 30th and it didn't arrive until December 3rd.

On the other end of the spectrum, I ordered Bioshock on November 7th, well after the initial release rush, and it was in my hands a week later.

If you want GHIII, you're going to be waiting a good 4-6 weeks.

[Leek]

I ordered Assassins Creed on Nov 25, shipped Dec 2nd. Pray before you go to sleep tonight, that it will be here in the morning. I really hope. By the way, I'm going to get a new prepaid CC, hopefully gonna get Simpsons Game and CoD4?Is it worth it? I don't see why people are doing GHIII when other games come in within "3 to 5 business days"

[glare]

Some people get it shipped really quick, some get items shipped really slow. I place my order Nov 28th for COD4 and still processing :cry: my gf ordered a game and had to wait a entire month because somehow it got "lost" with ups.

you are most likely not going to get your game tomorrow since ups doesn't ship on weekends

[mcdaking84]

yeah... Dealmax blows

[Rig]

The Dealmax and Bargain people might be available on the phone 24/7. Just gave them a call to see what their hours were, and I could still get operators!

I will try again on Sunday to see if they have the day off.

[archibishopthedoge]

How long is it takking you guys to get it shipped? I ordered Halo 3 on Sunday and it still says that its Processing.

They say a week for shipping on every order. The last time I ordered on a Sunday, it shipped 8 days after (on the Monday) and thats the longest Ive ever had to wait for something to ship.

If you dont see it change by Tuesday, just email them.

[archibishopthedoge]

You should contact them. I've never had an order take longer than 8 days to ship from them and COD4 is widely available. Then again, they may just be backed up, as its not terribly long past the week mark. I imagine the Thanksgiving holiday set them back a bit.

Go to the order list and click the number, theres a link to "contact us about the order" in there.

[sventhebruin]

Well, I went ahead and ordered CoD4.



Soon as I reset my account, I discovered I still had enough referrals to fulfill that part of the requirement. Just gotta do another offer.\\:D/

[sventhebruin]

Hey, Rig, sorry if this is another moronic question that's been asked and answered a million times, but in a PM a while ago, you said AutoVantage was an offer you had done but hadn't credited and you filed an MCR.



Well, I don't see it in your OP, so......what's the deal with it?



And to anyone else who has a second....What is ONE offer that I should do? I've done a ton of them, so there's not much room. Maybe a lesser known or more expensive one that isn't too popular. I just want something that's gonna credit for me.


Shit, sorry for the double post.

Have you done amazon diet? It costs like $8S&H, but I haven't seen anyone else do it. It credited instantly for me, and I just got the pills in the mail so I sent an e-mail asking to cancel so we'll see how that goes..

[snoopfighter]

from what i can tell for 27 dollars for 4 magazine subs for 'magazine burst' isn't half bad at all... they have good magazines.

Hmmm. Not sure why it isn't there. I have a feeling I posted details that never made the previous OP.

I will look around and try to dig up the information. FWIW, I did receive credit eventually and had no problems with cancelling.

EDIT: I added what I still had. Don't remember the price or the trial duration. I'd give it a go if you're hurting for offers.

[magus83]

If anyone can answer my questions on blockbuster online that'll be great, they keep getting lost in the threads.

My first question is when can i cancel blockbuster online? Can i cancel it in the first month or do I have to wait to cancel on the second month?


My other question is that I'm probably going to have to fill a mcq since its 5 business now and no credit yet from blockbuster, but in my email confirmation my account number is bugged and it doesn't show up. Will this be a problem when sending the MCQ?

Cancel during the trial? If you wait until the second month, you will be charged the basic rate. Unless you want to pay for a month, cancel during the trial period.

Either take your chances with the email you have and send that to them, or email Blockbuster asking for a new one. Tell them you want another copy for your records, as the previous one didn't show up correctly.

I signed up for BarginNetwork and Dealmax last night. I know you get signed up for two offers, so I tried to cancel SavingSmart and WiseHouseBuyer, figuring they were like yoursavingsclub and you could cancel it whenever. So I go onto SavingSmart.com and do the forgot ID thing, and anything I try ends up saying 'Sorry we couldn't find your ID'. I do have my dealmax though. Anyone know whats up with this? I hope both offers will cancel when I cancel DealMax

Also, for BarginNetwork, I got an email from both BN and WHB, and WHB didn't give me an ID or anything. So I logged into BN and tried calling then to just cancel WHB, and they make you enter a phone number. However, I was NEVER asked a phone number while registering, but I saw in my email that my telephone number is "9999999999". They have an online cancelation thing, and it shows 4 offers (BN, WHB and two other things) and it says "If you cancel one you cancel them all" or something like that. So hopefully canceling that will be somewhat easier than Dealmax seems to be. Anyone else having the same problems?

Similar thing happened to me. I called to cancel WHB and they asked for my telephone, which I had no idea about since they didn't ask me for one when I signed up. I called and finally got them to cancel it, but I told them I wanted to keep Bargain active for now.

[GLOCKGLOCK]

I feel the december update coming this weekend!!!

[SpitFire158]

When do you think that Ninja Gaiden will be added?

[Rig]

Going to try and clarify the two offers (Dealmax and Bargain.com):

Dealmax signs you up for its offer, along with SavingSmart. SavingSmart is actually Your Savings Club, which many of us have already been signed up for in the past. When you call Your Savings Club, you will hear that you have already cancelled your membership (if you input your credit card # on their automated system). This applies for those of us that already cancelled Your Savings Clubs in the past. If you have never signed up with Your Savings Club, you still need to cancel this.

Bargain signs you up for their service, along with WiseHouseBuyer. If you login to www.bargain.com (http://www.bargain.com), you can find the cancellation page, which allows you to cancel both of these at the same time. I'd use this page for cancelling.

I will mention the ability to cancel both of these offers online in my second post information.

[aznguyen316]

thank very much for clarification Rig.. now before I do bargain, I want to see greens for it. It's been at least a day for many.. any luck guys??

[dcgm]

not here. I think it's an MCR for all of us :bomb:

EDIT: New offer! "Dermawand" 30 day free trial, $15.95 for shipping.

[KingofOldSchool]

Okay, so Overnight Genius...it's a 7 day trial right?

Do you have to send the disc back?

[dcgm]

Where's Overnight Genius??

[evanft]

Has anyone tried AutoVantage?

You should contact them. I've never had an order take longer than 8 days to ship from them and COD4 is widely available. Then again, they may just be backed up, as its not terribly long past the week mark. I imagine the Thanksgiving holiday set them back a bit.

[omgu8myrice]

can you do offers\ and get refferals while your account is under review?
or are you basically handcuffed for the 5 days?

[mev1205]

Would it be stupid to try and order GH3 right now? Or should I get Mass Effect and then wait until January to get GH3... hmm decisions decisions

[KingofOldSchool]

Okay, so Overnight Genius...it's a 7 day trial right?

Do you have to send the disc back?

Okay I looked again and it said that I have to send one disc back, now since the trial is so freaking short. If you call and cancel and then send them back the disc, will they charge you if the disc isn't back by the end of the trial? I mean that would be pretty shady if they charge you even though you called to confirm your cancelation and also shipped back the disc.

Also, I ordered Mass Effect today.

[sventhebruin]

Thanks, Rig. I think I'll give AutoVantage a shot. Hopefully it credits and I can get GHIII by February lol.



Anyways, this is a question for the veterans of this shenanigans.



I remember a few people saying something about after you get a bunch of games from this site, they make you fill out some sort of tax info or something?? I was never too clear on this.



Can anyone clarify for me? My next game will be my sixth one and I seem to recall that's the magic number for this tax crap to show up.

[mev1205]

Speaking of that, I have a question for anyone who has already gone through this...

So far I've gotten
2 GH2s
Bioshock
The Orange Box
COD4
Assassin's Creed
Mass Effect

That comes out to around $480 if you add just the retail value (so $90+$90+$60+$60+$60+$60+$60)

Now does trainn take the shipping cost into account too? Because I kind of wanted to order GH3 before the end of the year, which would bump me up to $580, just below the $600 mark, and I REALLY don't want to fill out that tax form...

Thanks to anyone who can help

The only way you possibly could would be to email or file a support ticket (or both). I think people were getting the option with GHIII, but that's a special case.

Still no Bargain credit...I figured it would take an MCR! (Though, it technically still could credit, but my breath is not being held.)

For both Gamefly and BlockBuster i got charged when i signed up.

[aznguyen316]

I know it's been stated before about GHIII and getting a $100 GC, but I sent a ticket about it on an order I had early last month, here is their response:

Unfortunately, as all fulfillment centers are sold out, it would still likely be, at least, 1-2 weeks before your order would be shipped.

Due to the back-order, we are offering $100 gift certificates to Amazon, Best Buy, Circuit City, or Wal-Mart for previously placed orders.

If you would still like to receive a gift certificate instead of the bundle for your order, please let us know and we update and fulfill your order.

I figured Wal-Mart is best since there's a lil bit of everything I can get for $100, since I don't care for GHIII anymore lol. I asked for a VISA prepaid, I'll see if they'll do that.. I need the money. Good luck guys!

[evanft]

Hey guys, had a quick request so the few of us waiting on games can get an idea of Trainn's holiday rush.

Anyone that received a game LAST week, as between Dec. 2 - today post what you ordered and when was the order date.

I have a feeling Trainn may be getting a little slower now xmas is near, usually fulfillment on regular games has been great but my CoD4, order placed on Dec. 1 is still in processing as I know some other CoD4 orders placed before mine are still processing as well. I think this will help anxious gamers like myself know how they're getting their orders going as of late. I ask this b/c I haven't seen many people in the thread post they received so and so lately.

please and thanks guys!

The Simpsons Game[1 more offer]
BioShock[must have]

Not really sure what you mean by length cancellation. Cancel before the trials are up.

So the Paypal credit card numbers bit will never draw from your bank account? I mean, I don't plan on doing anything stupid like spending more than I have in my paypal account or anything, just because of the legal rapage they would put on me, but it'd suck if a company tried to charge me for a cancelled trial only to have the money start coming out of my bank account...

just got a shipped email for mass effect. still no response to my email about orange box though.:cry:

[Chuckles]

Ah, that's cool. Like I said, don't plan on spending more than I have or anything, but crap happens sometimes :p

[imnotatfault]

Does anyone know whether the gift cards for Amazon (instead of GH3) are physically mailed or emailed?

[IXI Dragunz IXI]

WTF. Guys, whey is yourfree360games.com linking me to this other website?

http://i18.tinypic.com/7x9cs4w.jpg

[highonsunday]

I just got that other website, too. I was waiting on a missing credit request to come back to me so I could order Mass Effect- hopefully it comes back up soon? That would have been my first order, so if it doesn't I signed up at the site and for two offers for nothing.

The company that owns the site, transcendent innovations, doesn't have anything on THEIR site that might explain it either.

EDIT: I e-mailed Transcendent Innovations and got a response immediately:

"Hello,

Thank you for contacting us!

I apologize for the inconvenience. The site is still operational.

Unfortunately, there was an error with the renewal of the domain,
however, it has since been corrected and the site should be
accessible again very shortly.

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

There is a new offer Dermawand....a skin a product

[aznguyen316]

CoD4 ordered Dec. 1 was just shipped today. Looks like they got the ball rollin' again. Thanks for the input on games received peeps!

[dcgm]

Uhhh, I clicked bargain numerous times, and now I dont remember the click I used to complete the offer....Does it matter which bargain I use to file an MCR? It's all the same company, and if I provide headers it shouldnt be a problem, right?

I have only been waiting a few days, but I would like to get the gift card instead if possible. Is there a specific amount of wait time before you get this email, or can I just email them and ask for it?

Thanks,

Yeah I would like to know, If I placed an order today for GHIII if I could request a Gift Card??

Thanks,

No, I don't think there is a time period that you have to wait. I personally waited until the estimated shipping date. But as you know they are out of stock so I would just email them right now, because it took them 2 days to get back with me with that response. So I replied back that,yes I would like a gift cert. for Best Buy!!!

Good Luck!

[FatoonsBaby710]

That would be awesome, I could do some gift shopping with that money...

[Bronson-Lee]

Quick question; on my GHIII order, the status switched from Processing to Waiting On Item: does it mean what I think it does (that it's backordered, the obvious thing) or something else?

[gundamxzero]

So I put in 2 MCR's:
Nov 25, 2007 Dr. Seuss Book Club Received
Nov 25, 2007 Increase My Margin Received

AND a ticket havent heard anything, got both products. Is there an email I can send something too?

All MCR'S credited for me on the 10th buisness day It was for Dr.suess and advantage languge and since u had the thanksgiving holiday and they don't count saturday/sunday today would be your 10th day so they should credit today but who knows leave the ticket open im sure they will get to it eventually. I know the waiting sucks.

Yes, that is what you think it is. The same thing that happened on my order, so just send them an email and ask for a gift cert. for one of the retailers!!!

[IXI Dragunz IXI]

I was going to wait out for the GHIII but I guess I'm going to take the $100 BB Giftcard.

[gimmepilotwings]

I opened an MCR but they said that I didn't include the full headers in the email. That may have been, but I definitely included them in the support ticket. They replied to the support ticket saying that they still need the headers, when they are right there in the support ticket.

ugh

[Chuckles]

Can anyone who has done the Stamps.com offer tell me exactly what you need to cancel? (Like, information wise). When I cancelled YSC I didn't need anything lol, was wondering if this was the same.

Do I need my username on the site or anything for them? Account #?

They looked mine up by my email address. I told them that I was unable to get it to install on my computer.

[SpitFire158]

How long does it take for bargain.com to credit? I signed up for it yesterday bit it has yet to credit

when you call they try to get you to stay with them by offering you an extension of the trial. just say you still want to cancel. they ask for your email and last 4 digits of your SSN.

So far no one has had it credit yet (From what i read and did it myself 3-4 days ago) looks like it is going to be a MCR.

[CaHooKaMan]

Can you cancel online?

nope

[Chuckles]

Yeah, he tried to cut the cost down to 50% for the service and give me another free month, just said I wanted to cancel lol. He asked me for my phone # to lookup the account, name and email address to confirm it and mother's maiden name (whatever security question you chose, I would imagine) to confirm the cancellation. Already got my cancellation email and final statement, thanks guys.

[Leek]

Expecting my free Assassins Creed today in the mail. Will update in 4 hours.

Dang that does suck, my first experience with them was pretty much instant. This was a much crappier one :(

[SpitFire158]

My friend signed up for Gamefly but he deleted his confirmation e-mail. How does he file an MCR without it?

[Munny1212]

Sweet, my COD4 and Mass Effect Shipped today! Just ordered GH2 because I dont want to get caught up with the GH3 business. You guys think I could squeeze in Orange Box before Christmas?

[Hiei69]

After a grand total of 43 days, I have finally received credit for Gamefly. That's right folks, never give up;) Now, which game to order?

[uEih]

Did you file a MCR and waited 43 days or did you send them emails? I'm waiting for my Gamefly to credit and it's been about a week.

[Hiei69]

I filed an MCR and waited 10 days. Turns out, I made a mistake with the headers. I gave them the right headers though after getting in contact with them. I had to wait the full ten business days, which ended up being about 15 days because of weekends. Also, it was actually about 38 days total, I was going off the date of my very first offer by accident.

[CaHooKaMan]

just got an email from trainn regarding my orange box that shipped 2 weeks ago. they said theyre shipping me another copy that should arrive in 3-5 days.

Not to trump you or anything, but I just recently got a green on stamps.com which I completed in July.



Anyhoo, just so people can gauge their progress, I ordered CoD4 on Dec. 8 and still processing. Maybe we should put this status stuff in our sigs so people can track it and not ask a quadrillion questions...

[elpolloestupendo]

Anybody actually receive their gift cards instead of waiting for GH3 or gotten shipping confirmation? I was offered it and told them I wanted a gift certificate from Amazon, but haven't heard back from them since...

[Rig]

After this, I will no longer mention it. Still, it is pretty annoying to see questions asked in here that have already been answered.

So:

READ THE OP!

Please. That's all I want. If people are still asking questions that are already answered there, please ignore them. Not trying to be a dick, but it's a tad frustrating.

Ctrl + F is everyone's friend!

By all means keep sending me PM's with legitimate questions. I am on the site many times per day, so it will get answered pretty quickly.

EDIT: And Rig is awesome.

[dcgm]

Well I tried to bait that spammer, but it didn't work.

Oh well, can't blame me for trying to get my own referral :P

[Leek]

Ctrl + F is everyone's friend!
EDIT: And Rig is awesome.

Ignore posts that haven't read the OP. Rig is awesome. Didn't get assassins creed today. If not received by thursday I will ask them wtf is going on.

Ctrl+F is everyones freind? I have a freind? Woot.

[Slim Gatsby]

Deleted, sorry!

[dcgm]

Here's my link if anyone would like to give me a referral:

Thanks in advance, kids!

No. Read the fucking OP.

[ddrpower]

Rig is awesome? I agree. Thanks for the effort buddy.

[SpitFire158]

Rig is awesome? I disagree.

Did anybody else get charged $15.00 when you signed up for stamps.com?

I signed up for the free trial so I'm wondering why it's there. When I cancel it should be credited back to me right?

[sventhebruin]

Indeed, Rig is awesome. He should ignore everyone's questions and just spend his time being awesome.



Rig?? More like Pig. rofflelolz

[GLOCKGLOCK]

Rig or anyone else, have any of you heard directly from Trainn on the December update? I'm thinking there isn't going to be one at this point.

[galvatron2k1]

Rig or anyone else, have any of you heard directly from Trainn on the December update? I'm thinking there isn't going to be one at this point.

I read on the other forum that the update was going to be relatively small (2-4 games). It didn't specify a week though, but I would guess in the next few days unless they decide to skip it.

[Rig]

Rig or anyone else, have any of you heard directly from Trainn on the December update? I'm thinking there isn't going to be one at this point.

I haven't, though I actually haven't asked them. I will send an email tonight, though I wouldn't expect a reply for a couple days.

As for that edit (the awesome), that's all Foladar. :lol:

[Slim Gatsby]

How often do new offers come in? I did like half of these on GamingLagoon, unfortunately.

[SpitFire158]

Should i file for an MCR for Bargain? I signed yesterday and it was supposed to credit within a day.

thats the authorization fee that you get back in 3 days or so

[chipotleattack]

^ Thanks for the info.

[ZerotypeX]

just filed an MCR for Autovantage and still waiting on Yahoo Success Center and it seems like those people still charged me even though I canceled and the girl I talked to even said I would not get charged...time to call them up tomorrow

[DeathPrawn]

I signed up for one of the deals a few weeks ago that signs you up for YourSavingsClub, which I promptly cancelled. Today I signed up for DealMax, and it cleared, but I entered a bad e-mail address by mistake. I fixed it with DealMax, but I got no confirmation from SavingSmart, the other deal they sign you up for, which happens to have the same phone number as YSC. So when I call them to try to get my ID # so I can cancel, they say the account tied to my phone # has been cancelled. The SavingSmart web page says I don't have an account with them.

So: am I screwed?

[aznguyen316]

can't til 7 days later.. even if you wanted to.

I know Trainn is backed up with all kinds of orders and whatnot right now, but man, it doesn't seem like they're getting to MCR's too quickly. I've got one submitted back on 11/24 that hasn't been handled yet. It's been over 10 business days. That has to be the most frustrating things about the site. There's nothing like paying for some stupid ass trial and not getting credit for it.

Mine is even worse everytime I write them a email they say 2 or 3 business days till they put my item(GH3) on order and they never do after 4 days still nothing. It's been now more then a month and week and a half and I still dont got my GH3.

I know a few people pre-holiday season had their MCR take over a month, so it seems really hit or miss .. thankfully mine took just two weeks.

Jonesin for Madden in Spanish? :lol:

Theres nothing coming out this month, even January is looking pretty paltry at this point, but I think theres at least one game that may be interesting.

[Coyotezeye]

Does anyone know how long it takes to get a game/item from these guys currently? Not Guitar Hero 3


I ordered something (Halo 3 controller) on Dec. 1st. Got the shipped email Monday (Dec. 10). Just wondering if it will be this week or next week when it shows.

Thanks

[DeathPrawn]

When I received Mass Effect from them a few weeks ago (shipped the 1st, IIRC), it came in 2-3 days.

Expect it in a week, so December 17th. Hoping my AC comes in today:bomb::bomb::bomb::bomb::bomb::bomb::bomb::bo mb::bomb:

Tired of the fucking wait. They say "3-5 business days" but it's been 6 for me, probably an anomaly? GHIII usually gets in a month later. Why did you get the Halo 3 controller? Why not Mass Effect or something nice :P
