FREE 360 Game--100% Legit. (GHIII Bundle & COD 4 INCLUDED!) Part 3

Status
Not open for further replies.
Not for nothing, if that IS real..someone needs to report it.
Sorry guys.
This isn't like a sale at CircuitCity where you can glitch the system and do Buy 1 Get 1 Free and get the expensive game for free.
This isn't a coupon glitch.

This is really taking advantage of something good here.
You know what happens when people take advantage?
We get screwed.

They could very easily make the requirements much more--if of course, this is all true.

Let's try and not ruin a good thing here. It's a shame there's so much fraud in the freebie scene that a lot of offers have gone down in value.
 
[quote name='leftycurve']I was on youtube looking for Rock Band stuff and look at this guy he claims to have hacked this site http://youtube.com/watch?v=h3YmSRUffK4 looks legit although it probably is just a scam.[/quote]

so basically he'd rather commit fraud than do the legal action and get it FREE!....

The key word is FREE, not STEAL

Dont fuck with a good thing, its just going to fuck it up for everyone else
 
Everyone in this thread likes to sling around the word "free". These are NOT FREE. They're CHEAP. There's a difference.

Even the cheapest game can cost $1.00 if you pair the offer with the only 100% free offer; stamps.com. If you do a referral with stamps.com, then that game/accessory you claim is the only actual free item.

When you get passed the good offers you have to start paying a little more. Upwards of 10 dollars per game.

In conclusion, stop saying these are free when that is untrue. I like this site as much as everyone else, but don't mislead the newbies.

It may be a bit misleading now (you USED to be able to get a game for free back when the Critic's Choice offer was still around). But there's plenty of explanation in the OP, so if newbs get "misled" by a simple terminology, then they're morons.

Even if you're calling these "cheap" games, I think getting a $100 game (see: Guitar Hero III) for $10 is an AMAZING deal. Technically, that might not be "free", but considering that's a 90% discount, it may as well be. If you're going to gripe about that, you really need to get the bug out of your ass.

I agree with the majority's sentiment though. Some people are never satisfied. As the old saying goes, you give people an inch, and they try to take a yard. lilboo is exactly right. Trainn has NO obligation to us to keep these games at 2 offers each. If they start getting screwed or see that people are trying to scam them, they might just change things. Possibly because of principle alone! Just play by the fucking rules people!
 
Ok, for the hacked website. When you view his videos, he has the same guy commenting on all the videos saying it worked. Name is 1arkstfan, which I assume is his 2nd account. On one of his other videos, shown here
There is a guy that says he did an offer but the refs didn't credit, therefore making the theory about the referral thing true.
 
[quote name='SMMM']Did the Dr. Seuss deal. Got an e-mail saying

Beginning Readers Program $9.98
Shipping and Handling $5.99
Tax (estimated) $1.16
Grand Total $17.13

So I just call them and say I want to return Cat in the Hat to get ALL of that refunded? I'm assuming I do that after I receive the package from them. Will I get charged anything else in the meantime?[/QUOTE]

anyone, please?
 
Still haven't gotten credit from 12inOne or MyInks.com offers. Its been well over a month so not expecting anything, just a heads up for anyone thinking about those two.

Zooba is technically FREE because you get your $10 refunded. By the way, who made you mod?

Actually, they are free once you understand the concept of these sites.

These sites are not "just do the offers for the credit". Getting credit (be it a check mark on Trainn Sites, or points, or cash depending on the site) is an INCENTIVE.

These are reward sites. These sites are meant for people who always thought "Hmm. I always DID want to try Blockbuster online"...and now they can try it and get a little something in return. Sure, you pay $9.99 for Blockbuster..but it's because you have an interest in the actual service . You are not paying for the game. You are paying for the service that you are doing a trial for.

Wen you do the offers simply for the credits..well, that's fraud according to the ToS of most, if not all, GPT sites. There are lots of people who have interests in all of these offers. Sure, some offers ARE expensive. But they exist because there's a market out there for them. I'm sure there are people who have always wanted to try that AeroGarden. I'm sure there's plenty of people who want to learn how to get rich on eBay, or make money with Google. So your check mark that you receive with this site is just an incentive, not so much a discount.

When people learn how to use these sites, the 'freebie scene' will indeed become better again. It was once very good, until everyone started to fraud the systsems badly.
 
[quote name='MasterSprtn117']Turns out my GHIII which was ordered on October 13 was lost. Trainn's offering to either re-order it, give me a $100 Amazon certificate, or let me choose a different game. I'm leaning towards the first or the second...what should I choose?

EDIT: People on Amazon are selling GHIII for more than $200....:whistle2:?[/QUOTE]


same thing happened to me... I don't know if I want to wait that long again, because they said GH3 was backordered. So I'm just gonna gonna get the $100 and use it towards Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed.

Damn I wonder if the same thing is going to happen to me, I think im the last of the November 14th shipped e-mails to not receive their GH III. I really only want GH III.
 
Uhh[quote name='IXI Dragunz IXI']Zooba is technically FREE because you get your $10 refunded. By the way, who made you mod?[/quote] Uhh, no, it isn't FREE because I doubt they refund your shipping and handling. If I'm wrong, then I apologize in advance. And no one made me "mod", I'm just voicing my opinion rather than blindly following the rest of the herd like you.

As for everyone else, I didn't mean to strike a nerve or anything. You all see me here all the time, so when I say that I like this site as much as everyone else, I mean it. I just get a little ticked off when I see people who are one their 9th item from this saying that it was "free", when in actuality they've passed the 1 dollar offers ages back and this recent game the've got must have cost them a bit more.

Lilboo, I understand completely. Regardless, most people here AREN'T doing it for the offers; maybe one or two offers are things these people are interested in, but most just cancel. Therefore, these games aren't free (as in: not costing a dime), but just very cheap. Again, it's just the terminology that pisses me off.

Anyway, for the ~9th time, can anyone tell me how long it's supposed to take for them to review my account? It's been a couple days now.

Keep in mind, that any given time admins from the site could lurk this thread. Wouldn't be very hard to try and find your account and they could hold your account. I know what you mean with the terminology.. believe me. This is why we aren't supposed to give guides to completing offers. We aren't allowed to discuss how to cancel. It's all about of their ToS. It might sound crazy that a Trainn admin to come here..but believe me, it isn't!

The review usually lasts 4 days. It's painful, but I had to wait 6 long painful days when I was waiting for my iPod Nano review.. ugh.
 
I'm all for being a CAG to the end but that video where the guy claims to rip off the site is bad news. These sites reward you with a FREE game for trying out advertisers offers. As lilboo said, people hacking the site, or creating fake accounts for quick referrals are bad for all of us who want these types of freebie sites to continue operating. It says it over and over again in this 130 page thread but I'll say it again: follow the rules and terms of service, sign up for the site, play by the rules, use your real information, use a CC, try out the trial offers and determine if you want to subscribe to them. For every offer that is a waste of time there are a number of good ones that offer a low startup rate for a great service. I wish I wasn't already subscribed to NetFlix and GameFly because this site is the perfect vehicle to try these services out.

Don't rip the site off and remember that you are getting something for nothing so please be patient with them as well.
 
Don't bother with the link, it's obviously fake.
1) Same guy commenting on every video
2) No source code modifications and most importantly:
3) The INITIAL page you go to is on his website. As soon as you hit continue you're taken to Trainn's page. All you're doing is getting him a referral through a disguised link. A talented hacker or no (leaning toward no) his modifications aren't able to modify the actual page hosted on their servers without a whole different type of illegal activity.

EDIT: Changed my account to referral and did some research via source comparison. Here's the relevant portion:

This changes for every person and this is what tells Trainn who referred you. This "hacker" edited the portions of the page where it shows you their referral ID but left Trainn's informational parts alone. I'll be reporting him to Trainn with his referral ID.

One more edit: Note that this is not actually the field that Trainn uses to check your referrer. Further research shows that there is another field. However, the fields are all the same and the information stands. Oh, and if you go to his website's hosted version of the page and put your mouse over "looking for other free xbox 360 games" you can confirm his referral ID for yourself.
 
Seriously if this guy ruins it for all of us..........

Question, I just submitted my account for review because i received two referrals...
what's the time frame i'm looking at for that review???

Thanks

Around 4 days. Yes yes, it sucks. But what ya gonna do?
 
AutoVantage MCR submitted, woot.


Waiting on Stamps and now this one. I'll just need some referrals for the next couple games.
 
Haha, I forgot about account reviews. I've had the "Refer two users" box checked for a while, but still need to complete an offer. I totally forgot how crappy the wait is lol




And yeah, if assholes like that guy ruin this site for the rest of us, I'm gonna be so pissed off. Why do people always do shit like this?? Ruin it for everyone else just to get a tiny bit extra for themselves. *shakes head* These people need a punch in the mouth.
 
[quote name='leftycurve']I was on youtube looking for Rock Band stuff and look at this guy he claims to have hacked this site http://youtube.com/watch?v=h3YmSRUffK4 looks legit although it probably is just a scam.[/quote]

Anyone concerned about this video ruining Trainn (or more likely, getting this loser a bunch of referrals), do what I did and report it to Youtube. Hell, if they take off little 2 minutes clips of South Park due to copyright infringement, why not get rid of videos that teach you how to commit fraud?

They can't charge you for shipping and handling if you don't order any books numbnuts.
 
Did anyone complete the Bidz.com offer?
Did it credit when you won or when you paid for the item?

I just won an auction, just have to pay for it, but I am guessing its yet another MCR :(
 
I was just wondering if Yahoo Success, Google SEO, or Zooba send stuff to your house? Also, does anyone have the numbers to cancel these offers (yahoo, google, zooba)?

Can anyone answer? Please
 
Google and Yahoo are from the same place (at least the google and yahoo I did were) the number was 1-800-497-4988 and cancelling was painless...canceled both at once w/ confirmation numbers.

But dunno if they send stuff to your house...I've done offers like these before and they never sent me anything...
 
Thanks for the response ^^^^^^^^. First real answer I've gotten.

Can anyone else 'confirm" that Yahoo/Google don't send stuff? With yahoo it says allow 14 business days to recieve your tool kit, so it sounds like they do. But I just read on this forum someone said you just have to install some software.
 
[quote name='IXI Dragunz IXI']They can't charge you for shipping and handling if you don't order any books numbnuts.[/quote] Yes they can, dipshit. It's a requirement that you order something from them in order to get credit. You have to send the book back. What guarantee do you have that they refund the shipping costs as well?
 
[quote name='dcgm']Yes they can, dipshit. It's a requirement that you order something from them in order to get credit. You have to send the book back. What guarantee do you have that they refund the shipping costs as well?[/quote]

Are you guys arguing about zooba? I didn't order any books, got charged $9.95 but it was refunded once I canceled via e-mail.
 
[quote name='dcgm']Yes they can, dipshit. It's a requirement that you order something from them in order to get credit. You have to send the book back. What guarantee do you have that they refund the shipping costs as well?[/quote]
You are an idiot. I've done the offer 3 times on different sites. You just sign up for $9.95 and when you cancel they refund your money. The offer does not require you to order a book to get credit. Look at things before you make a claim you fucking idiot.

I'll remove picture once he realizes he was wrong.
 
[quote name='IXI Dragunz IXI']They can't charge you for shipping and handling if you don't order any books numbnuts.[/quote]
This is sort of true, but it's a bit off. They NEVER charge shipping, BUT there is a 9.95 monthly "membership" fee, which I assume covers shippign costs. You get charged it every month regardless of whether you order a book or not. If you have a book in your queue, they send you one every month, and every book after that is 9.95.

Not everyone has gotten a refund cancelling. Read their TOS.

Its fishy as it is. I tried signing up and the second page was being reffered by a user #. The link is BS he just html a copy of the original page. What a loser!
Also in the 1st video notice the game requirements screen. Notice the only thing changing is the game titles and picture. Why didnt he have it in a fullscreen view?
 
I didn't realize flaming was allowed on this site. I guess no one cares.

I'll be the bigger man and just ignore this kiddy.


Regardless, I stated that I wasn't sure about shipping in my previous post. I apologized if I was wrong as well. I haven't done the offer yet.

Looks like it isn't completely free of charge though.

When others have done the offer, and you haven't, please listen to them. While some people haven't gotten refunds from Zooba, they do tend to refund it without a purchase of a book, which also means no shipping and handling.

There is no other way to put it. It is potentially free, and even if you don't like the potential, it's still there.

WTF, I get a response from Trainn that DHL has tried to deliver my GH III twice, and will try again tomorrow. Apparently signature is required. Can't they leave a note??

Do DHL allow pickups?

Seriously, having an 8-5 job is not unusual. Absolutely ridiculous.
 
Well my GH3 status changed from proccessing to waiting on item. Did this happen to anyone else. I just want to make sure there not doing anything like recinding my credits.

cheers,

That's perfectly normal. It means that they're waiting for your GHIII to get in stock somewhere so they can order it. Be prepared to wait, though. It's been 4 weeks and still no GHIII for me.
 
Mine is still processing after just about 18 days.

Also hoping BioShock and Orange Box arrive tomorrow. UPS passed by today and it was torturous seeing them pass without stopping.
