What do you guys think of the new offer?

Instant credit and free (though I haven't been credited yet and signed up around 9pm).

Looks like a good one, and more importantly a new one.

I did it last night, late, no green but I did get a confirmation email this morning saying "you application was approved".

Keeping my fingers crossed for quick credit, most of my refs for iPodNanos did it. Like to get my five greens quick (like everyone else, I know) D

We don't get InstantCAST up here. Only a few offers for us, I think they are exactly the same as the freeipods ones. (

On another note, thank you gratis for opening up ipodnanos to Canada at launch. Finally something us Canadians can do that our friendly southern neighbours don't have a head start on!

Edit For the InstantCAST thing do you need a credit card? Is it just a free sign up? I want to tell my American friends about it! Thanks!

Gigante

Yes, requires a CC. Two week free trial, then they bill you quarterly at a rate of $3.95/wk. But it costs NOTHING up front. D

For those of you that didn't receive your confirmation emails, how were you able to get your username/password?

And does anyone know how long the trial period is? The terms and conditions were VERY vague about that.

Go to the 'Member Login' page, click the link under the login fields "Need your login information?" I did that last night after I didn't get the conf. email, had my login/pass within 5 minutes and could log into the site.

From what I got, it's a 14 day (2 week) trial period before you start getting billed.

Not yet. I typically allow a minimum of 3-5 business days before contacting a site operator directly with an account-specific question. And since I've seen Jake posting on the Off-Topic board, I assume that he's seen our posts here in the Freepay board.

Some comment or explanation from Freepay would certainly be welcome, of course.

No credit for me yet; I did the offer on 9/7.

Also, 14 days seems more likely, but I still can't find written or printed proof anywhere. I'm tempted to call and ask, just to be sure. I just want to be certain that it wasn't a 3 day trial, since I'm not located on the west coast, and as such am not likely going to be cast for anything they have listed on the site.

Jake,
Any word on how long this 'instant' offer will take to credit?

Gigante

12-09-2005 18:37:36

Yeah, you guys are probably right, go for 14 days. Someone had told me 30, but you can't find it after you have signed up.

Hopefully Jake will be able to update the crediting progress for InstantCast.

Had you canceled? or did they just refund you?

Natterjak

It's a 14 day free trial, then $3.99 per week after that. They will offer you a 30-day extention and a lowered $1.99 rate though.

But honestly, I think they did a $1.00 charge to my credit card for verification purposes (most companies do this) and I saw that the charge was refunded today. So, let's hope that it's a good sign and it greens, finally!

So they know that this offer was messed up but are stiil going to make us all wait the full 15 days?! They are the ones that said it was instant (.

Gigante

14-09-2005 22:37:03

For some reason, I have the feeling that InstantCast didnt want their offer advertised in such bulk (they don't got the money to pay out). 15 days puts you right after the 2 week mark, the day you got to pay InstantCast if you wish to keep their service. So maybe you will be forced to keep it? I do not know, but we will see how it plays out.

JesterxXx

15-09-2005 00:50:27

The offer never said you had to stay on after the trial. Not many of the offers have that stipulation either. They may change it later but can't really change the rules of it now.

But hey, if I can get in a commercial I may be staying on anyway heheh. I used to be an extra and although not very "glamorous" it was a lot of fun and very cool to be on the set.

Regardless of that though, I want my damn credit heheh.

Gigante

15-09-2005 06:39:56

Obviously they can't change the rules, but they can't really give out 100+ greens that they don't get paid for. That is a lot of revenue lost.

If you are not interested in the offer anymore, you are allowed to cancel and that should not affect your crediting because you did try the product. I cannot decide if I want to keep it.

Go to the 'Member Login' page, click the link under the login fields "Need your login information?" I did that last night after I didn't get the conf. email, had my login/pass within 5 minutes and could log into the site. [/quote57058020dc]

Try that, then respond to Freepay in your support ticket.[/quote57058020dc]Thanks for the info, but I did do that back when I first signed up. And I actually copy/pasted the contents of that email but it didn't seem to be enough for them.

I did the gmail "show original" copy and paste and sent it in to them for review - they kicked it back saying that they needed me to click "forward" on the email and then copy it.

Finally received credit and requested approval.
Bet there are a lot of these today @ freepay!

) good luck everyone.

I got manual credit, sent the confirmation email in a support ticket. Credit came within a VERY short time!

Make sure you forward the message to yourself (or whatever works best to get the original header information), they need to see the header information from the ORIGINAL message from InstantCast.

The trail was for 14 days right? I did this offer on the 8th, did what I had to do, and now I see this from my bank

9/23/2005 Electronic Purchase INSTANT CAST lililililililililili ($51.87)

not cool, why does every company try to overcharge me? I bet its cuz my email address has the word free in it so they know. I thought it was supposed to be like 3 dollars a week anyways? Gotta call them today and get this figured out.

It's $3.99 a week, but they bill you quarterly...so $16 a month times three months = $48 plus tax...

Pretty shady billing plan if you ask me, but they do go out of their way to make that part clear when you're signing up. The thing that frustrated me was the lack of clarity around how long the trial was...

PeachFrost

26-09-2005 08:42:12

Yup, they charged me the whole amount as well. Now I have to call and get it off my card. I never got a confirmation e-mail and I couldn't even get my login information e-mailed to me. VERY shady!

Maybe FreePay got the problems that they were having with this offer worked out so they brought it back. I just signed up for it on PCS.FreePay since my Video Professor Online offer wont give me credit. Hopefully i will get the confirmation email tomorrow and maybe even the credit from freepay

abrock124

18-10-2005 11:15:04

Got credit today, took 2 days. Too bad the video prof offer that i didnt think was ever going to credit got credit yesterday. I could have used this offer for another site, oh well

brunstar

19-10-2005 15:43:09

i also got charged 51.87, as will most of you when you find out its a four day trial not a 14 day one.

i had to fill out a refund form that i told them to send me after complaining.

had to fax it in today and they are processing my request right now.

TheTenderYears

20-10-2005 16:12:58

The people that did this offer, sorry to say but all of your referrals that did it the offer will be revoked. I had 10/5 referrals on iPodNanos.FreePay and 6 of them that did the InstantCast offer were put on hold. Don't know why customer service won't shed any light on the idea either.

abrock124

20-10-2005 17:06:19

maybe because so many of your referrals did the same offer???

That raises suspicions at freepay that you could have walked them through the whole process.

i too was scammed. i canceled before 4 days was up because it wasnt for me and i heard about the company being shady. i didnt get cancelation confirmation either, however when i tried to log back in, it said account not found or something like that, so i thought i was ok.

sure enough i was charged 50 something dollars. ive left 3 messages and havent had a response. if they dont reply to the one i left today i will dispute this with my credit card company and maybe even contact the better business bureau

drunkmonkey

14-11-2005 14:26:43

cyberpunk243

16-11-2005 13:09:11

Yeah, I was thinking about completing this offer but wanted to search on here because ratetheoffers.com didn't have it. Doesn't sound very good. When I hear a company is shady, it doesn't make me want to give them my credit card number. Freepay said it was instant, which is why I am sure everyone signed up for it but now that I know it isn't so instant, I think I will be avoiding this one.

jan

16-11-2005 13:13:17

Yea, very good choice cyberpunk, I did it about 1 week ago and it hasnt even sent me the confirmation emails, but charged me somtin like 39.95 bucks and im still not credited.

INSTANT CAST IS GAY!!!!!!

Sempuukyaku

17-11-2005 07:28:43

I got a confirmation email fron InstantCast when I did the offer and get a confirmation when I requested the "c" word. And this was all within the 4 business days so hopefully I'm good to go.

theysayjump

26-11-2005 10:36:38

Yeah the fuckers charged me $65 before the 4 days were even up. I called them and all I got was some message telling me to leave a message. Their site says that you can cancel online through their site, but when you get to the cnacellation page it gives you a number to call, the number that just tells you to leave a message.

Avoid like the plague.

theysayjump

27-11-2005 23:04:10

Well they charged me before my trial was up, so I got online to see if I could cancel before they did anything else, and when you get to the cancellation form it just gives you a number to call.

When you call it, all it does is tell you to leave a message no matter which day of the week you call on.

crescendo

08-12-2005 00:56:05

i called to cancel this offer because their site sucked and i got through to cancel, thank goodness...no green yet. One of my friends however tried to cancel online and he was charge the $65. He put up a fuss and they sent him an email with an attachment to fax in for a refund. We'll see if that works. You might want to try that TSJ. It took a lot of complaining though. I had to say, "are you calling me a liar?!"

I would rather do 3 other offers instead of this offer once. They are so scammish and there's no way I am faxing them shit to get my money back.

They wanted all my information so I just told them to go and take a shite.

my question is, why the hell is the offer still on sites?

There have been numerous reports of shady activity from these people. Freepay should definitely think of their customers first and boot these shady sponsors to the curb.

I'm sorry but if you host a sponsor offer you are somewhat responsible for it being legit. If it's not, it makes the site owners look just as shady.

freepay should put instacast "on hold". They for one actually deserve it

chillywilly

04-03-2006 15:43:27

Actually, the email I was sent when I signed up for this gave the date I signed up and the date my free trial was to expire. Their billing period was what I thought was shady. They say it's only $4.99/week, but they bill for 3 months worth at one time.

Calling them on the phone, they were very helpful in what I needed. I wasn't on the call more than 5 mins.

The offer said instant, but it took 6 days to finally credit.

toiletpaper55

05-03-2006 13:50:43

by far the crappiest offer out there, i never got credit neither did like 2 or 3 of my referrals for this offer
no info sent....i just ignore the bill

petrie

06-03-2006 06:31:07

It took me a week to get credit, but it took me 39 days to get refunded the $64+ bucks they scammed me.

You know, it surprises me when people read reviews of offers and a lot of remarks about how they got scammed by the offers, then they just say "oh, the person completing the offer must have been in the wrong...they must have thought it was a 30 day trial and didn't realize it was only 7 days." Please, give us some credit here... I keep the most detailed spreadsheet EVER for keeping track of what I do, and I can tell you everything about every offer I ever completed. So when I tell you instantcast was a scam and charged me when they shouldn't have, believe it. I had a 4 day trial, and it ended on a Sunday. Of course, it being sunday, they were closed. So, I called and left a voicemail, sent messages electronically, and tried to cancel online. Then on Monday, they respond to my cancellation requests with a cancellation confirmation...and then proceed to charge me anyway. They KNOW they were in the wrong for that because the cancellation request was on time, it was their actions that were delayed.

If you have a business that has a trial period, you should be open on sunday or allow cancellation on sundays. And if you can't do that, then you should at least get through all your sunday correspondence before you start charging people on monday. Shady.

And on top of that, you have to fill out a form and wait like 30 days to get your money back? Why should I fill out and fax in a form for them to refund the charge to my card when they have all the information on the card already from when I paid??? They're scam artists. InstantCast sucks.

kerbinator

06-03-2006 10:27:50

Well I guess I got through...I registered Friday before reading the terrible reviews about the offer, so I called Saturday and left a message saying I wanted to cancel, and I got a confirmation of the cancellation today. Let's hope I don't get charged early like other people did.

Oh and I haven't received credit yet either...I'll wait another few days before I try another offer though...
