Everything is free, as long a as you sign up for a few offers. Most of the offers require a credit card*, even if there is no fee. They have a great selection of games, though. The prices are determined by points, and the average for a new $50 game is 1950 pts. Mosts of the offers give about 300 to 500 pts., so it shouldn't take long to get a free game.

Confirmation: This deal is real... see note below for my uh... impressions on it...

NOTE: This deal officially sucks ass for those of us who aren't in possesion of a "credit card." These "credit cards" are evil inventions designed to make people suffer. CASH people! CASH! its all about cash credit cards suck... or at least they do until i get one...

I've got a GBA SP on back order -- anyone think I'll get it? Heh, I sure hope so, because I conned my wife into being okay with getting a GBA SP Flame in the meantime, so when the other comes, I'll sell it.

Anyhoo, glad to see this thing's still alive in some form or another (even if some of the signs of life are concerns).

Heheheh, this site is great.

I'm going to get free stuff. Yay. I don't have a credit card, so I'll just do the AOL offer a couple of times.
 
anyone been doing this for a long time? what i'd like to know is if they get any new sites? Cause besides the credit card ones and the ones where u have to stay a member or pay more than a dollar, i've done them all and i'm just wondering if they'll ever have new sites to sign up and get points for.
 
They do occasionally get new deals, and they remove old ones as well. I'm assuming companies get fed up with people signing up and then canceling before their trial period is over, but honestly what do they expect from something called "FREEvideogames.com"? People are there because they DON'T want to pay money :).

I have a question that I'm not entirely sure anybody will know the answer to. I've ordered multiple games from them and I still have no idea. Does anybody know who their "supplier" is? I'm trying to get them to include a free copy of Splinter Cell with my order of Prince of Persia (which, as a word of warning for those interested in ordering it, is horribly back ordered right now). The e-mail support person told me that they don't think their "supplier" is participating in the offer. I'm curious who their supplier is because as far as I know, every major retailer is doing it. Anybody know?

I've heard its BestBuy.com and/or Amazon.com. I finally got my xbox yesterday after 6 weeks!
 
Still a word of caution. on this site. I personally would just wait until people actually start to get their game sbefore ordering from them and investing the time and $10-$15.

This is my latest email and I will also post the response.

Hi, I placed my order over 1 month ago. It said that it would ship in 2 weeks and at that time it was changed to "Backorder". It then said backorder items are shipped within 2 weeks and yet that time period has expired. I am just curious if I should expect the items any time soon or what the status is. I have talked with other people that have used your site and they seem to be experienceing the same problems?

Their Response:

I understand your frustration with your backorder item. Please note that our supplier and our staff are working hard to get your order out. Due to an extreme spike in traffic and orders being out of stock, it is taking us awhile to ship out orders. Please rest assure that you will receive your order.

A couple things to note:
1) Orders cannot be expedited.
2) You will receive an email when your order is shipped.
3) We are working on processing your order and expect it to be able to ship in under 2-3 weeks, although we cannot guarantee this.

Thanks so much for your patience during this busy period.



This makes sense witht he holidays as well as this site being sold all over ebay and then posted on this site as well as others I am sure they are well on backorder. Just an FYI as this may never pan out or at least not for a few months. I am guessing that sometime in Feb or March I will see the games.
 
With a little questioning, I managed to find out that their supplier is a distributor called Fillpoint. I tracked down the website: http://www.fillpoint.com/. Now my question is, does anybody know if the free Splinter Cell deal is handled by Ubi Soft through the distributor, IE: are the retailers sent copies of both games when they order PoP, or is it strickly on the retailers end, where they are taking the financial hit, IE: when Nintendo does price drops? Or is is possibly something I'm overlooking completely? I know embarassingly little about how the retail side of video games works :oops:.

Any site that requires your credit card number to get free stuff is a scam, even if you get the free stuff. Don't you guys realize the types of information that these companies can get about you from just your credit card? You really should be more careful with your personal information.

Unless you use a web certificate, which is basically a prepaid online gift certificate in the form of a Mastercard number. Buy one for yourself and use it for the freevideogames.com site.
 
Well,

Its scary what anybody can get on you just by knowing your name. I work in insurance and we can get Drivers license numbers and credit histroies etc just from your name. I am sure someone that was out to scam has more resources than me.


Anyway the good news is most credit cards are protected and the one I used expires soon.

The second bit of good news is:

I RECEIVED BOTH MY GAMES YESTERDAY!!

They were delayed for a bit but I did get them as I had the first time around. SO all is good the site seems to work for me and I have no complaints.

FYI
 
Actually many of the companys that you sign up with are very reputable so it can not be a scam e.g. American online and Stamps.com (stamps.com is an affilate of the U.S. Postal service...it is recommended by the government). So just becareful with witch offers you sign up for. Also My game that was on backorder since late Dec. 18 shipped yesterday!
 
Okay gang, I got my first FreeVideoGames.com shipment yesterday, and it was a sweet shipment at that. A free Game Boy Advance SP Platinum. Haven't been charged anything crazy yet, and I started all this in November, so you'd think by now I'd have been scammed if it was gonna happen.

I just need another 300 points for a super sweet GBA game, or another 900-1000 for a super sweet GC game. I'll probably just get something like Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for the GBA, and call it all a done deal. Anyway, thanks to whomever pointed this site out in the first place!

ive received my junk from them (mario kart :dd & sword of mana) over the winter break, and no problems on my cc bill... definitely a great site
 
For anyone who is still doing this, what are the offers now that you can sign up for (with or without credit card) and cancel right away? I'm trying to get legends of wrestlnig 2 and I only have about 220 points.
 
After reading the posts in the topic, I had to try the site.

But, unfortunately, I can't use a credit card, and am not going to take the risk of a credit scam to my mother's account. I am only 16, of course.

So, I opted for what one user suggested. Using a Webcertificate from Webcertificate.com, I got the minimum amount, and purchased it with a CC. Of course, purchases aren't as risky as the site may be, so, I can go to that extent.

Keep in mind, the minimum is $20, with a $2.95 Processing fee. The fee didn't mean much, with so much at stake.

I then went and signed up for as many Instant point offers as I needed to get 1400 Pts, enough for Pokemon Ruby. All of the offers which also included something extra, such as a $25 Home Depot/Amazon.com, or DVD, were nearly identical to each other in one of two designs. One of them wouldn't accept the Webcertificate, and another wouldn't process to CA. Oh well.

I am currently waiting on an email which will verify my account, so I can order my item. Will report the results when it transpires.
 
I ordered Time Crisis 3 with GunCon 2 on 1/15. The status yesterday (1/19) was "Processing." The process today (1/20) is "Shipped." I'll let you guys know when I received the game.
 
Currently, I got 190 points on that site. He's the offers I did

eBay (120), Eversave (20), Free American Flag Window Cling (20), Jackpot (20)

And I referred a friend. Trust me, take advantages of this offers I just listed, they're easy as hell. I guess since I won't use my parent's credit card for this I'll just stick to 20 point offers and someday I'll be able to get a cheap XBox game free.
 
Ordered my GBA sp Sunday, on Monday it was pending, today it was processing. I will let you all know when it ships and whether there were any problems with the cc.

Learn this lesson well grasshopper: You get what you pay for. :x
 
::sigh:: man thats so totally unfair, how does yours get shipped and mines backordered
concidentally the same thing happened for all the perscription drugs i ordered
 
So, do cancelled credit cards work or not? If so I'll sign up and do my best to grab a free console, please tell me they work!
 
I don't believe that a cancelled credit card will work seeing as how some of the sites do charge a "processing fee" of a dollar or so. The one that charged the most was $6.95 for the video professor site, but you get to choose a cd rom from them so it's not like you're not getting nothing for the money. All in all I believe I'm paying between $15-$20 for all the sites I sent in for on my cc. I will be going in and cancelling all the trial memberships after I receive the GBA. That's about an hour or so of typing and calling to all the different places. So between that and the money I spent I still think it's a good deal to save between $80 or so dollars. :)
 
Anyone know if there is a minimum deposit for casino on net or whatever? and if so what is it? Cause if u can just put in a dollar or two, ur almost up to one new release game off a single offer.
 
Yes, there's a minimum deposit, I can't remember what it is though.. maybe like $20 or something. If you read the TOS it will tell you. But a word of caution: I installed one of those casino things from the site and the software hijacked my IE browser... It would start re-installing itself every time i rebooted or started up IE, and it would re-direct my URL's i typed in to its own casino site if the URL had the name "game" in it... (like www.cheapassGAMEr.com). I couldn't remove it with any type of ad software like adaware and i had to eventually go into my windows registry and edit a few things.

Why does that not reassure me the slightest bit :?
 
I received my GBA sp today. They made fantastic time on getting it to me. It says it takes anywhere from 2-3 weeks but I had mine in 4 days. Not bad. :)
 
There's a reason why those things offer such big points.

You have to make a deposit, and play any bid. The minimum for deposit is $50. This might be decent, if you deposit $50, lose a buck, then withdraw it. But, I don't know what the conditions of withdrawal are. You may have to put those points into store credit, etc.

The same goes for most anything else with 1400+ Pts. There's usually a $40+ dollar fee or deposit, putting a lot more on the line. You'd have to be sure with what you are doing.

If all goes as plan, this is what I should be getting...

Some pills (Don't know what, but it was free!)
5 DVD's (New)
Pokemon Ruby (New)
Fire Emblem (New)

For $20, thats not bad, but I'm waiting. The games were from FVG, while the DVD's were part of an instant 300 Pt deal, for $2.69. The Pills were part of the Trimlife PLUS deal. Keep in mind, PLUS. It cost me $1 in shipping, for 320 Instant Pts. As opposed to the others, with $2.50+ S&H. Even if I don't receive the other free stuff, then I get the games.

It don't know HOW they know whether or not a deal was used, but I have used all good ones available. I tried deleting my cookies AND making a new account, but when I click on any deals I have used already on another account, the deal is pronounced dead. I'll try it on another CPU, and see what I get. I suppose they are keeping track of your IP, so they don't get scammed out of multiple games.

If I get my games, they I would proclaim this the best deal I have EVER used online. Very deal worthy.
 
My newest view on this subject is if you dont have a credit card, go mow a lawn or something. Its less frustrating, better for you, and when you get a game your gonna feel like you earned it... Its just not worth 10+ hours to get a free game with the non-credit card deals... If you have a CC, great, do the deal, if not do some honest work. Its not that hard...
 
I haven't paid a penny yet, and have 400 points. Here's the offers I completed:

eBay (120), Education Info (60), ESPN Magazine (150), Eversave (20), Free American Flag Window Cling (20), Jackpot (20)

and I referred a friend, so that's (10)
 
How often do the offers change? I'm pretty much left with only the credit card or casino ones, and those seem like trouble.

Also, does signing up for some offers eliminate others? I swear I used to have an offer to join a car discount service and a dining discount service for a dollar but now they are both gone.
 
i reeeeeeeeeeally want to get steel battalion from this, but i also reeeeeeeeeeeeeally doubt it's the complete package. that's only 2100 pts right there, and i think i could bs or fake my way through it to get that many.

i'll let you guys know if i do get a copy of it anytime soon. i'm at 290 pts right now with a few more waiting to be "verified"

and speaking of verified, i can't get that god damn verification email sent to me for ANYTHING!! i keep clicking the link, but it never gets sent. any suggestions?
 
also, if anyone is thinking of actually signing up for this, please pm me or aim me so i can refer you. i could use those pts :)
