yup, its taking longer and longer for approval these days. Its just something you have to deal with. Free stuff = time, thats all there is to it. My advice, forget about it, go do something eles, check it every few days, it will go so much faster. Damn, I need to follow my own advice. lipatiently waits on 3604free to approveli

crediting takes a good WHILE... approving takes a good WHILE (just got approved on fdpc... after about 2 weeks)... but as long as they're legit i don't see this as a HUGE problem.

Yeah, I have been having a hellofa time with freepay. A few weeks ago it took them about 6 hours to tell me not all of my referals were legit (and they were) and then customer service pretty much avoided my whole arguement. So I found more referals and these are also 100% legit and now it is taking over 2 weeks for approval. I've been trying to get my psp for over 2 months now! I JUST WANT MY PSP AND I WONT EVER TOUCH THIS FREEPAY STUFF AGAIN!!!! If they arent going to get approval done in 7-10 days (as it says on their site) then maybe they should take the 7-10 days statement off their site so people wont need to make message board topics complaining about it. Just a thought.
FreePay only consists of 30 employees, they are working the best they can to approve and they don't want to get scammed and lose revenue at the same time.. iPod nanos and iPod videos are extremely popular when it comes to free sites at the moment.. take a look at the sigs on this board.. They have [b0284accdac]12[/b0284accdac] sites, and those 30 employees have to verify every one of those sites on a daily basis.. I've been waiting a day for verification on my xbox360, but am I jumping off the handle? no.. I am getting the $400 console for free, so the least I can do is be patient and check once a week.. Time flies by when you don't check the site every 5 minutes.

26 employees ;)
The approval delay and overall slow-down is a result of both their recent move, and their decision to open their doors to German users.

I understand they only have a limited amount of workers and everything and i was just saying that the site says 7-10 days for approval, so after that amount of time people get a little concerned because even though it is "free" product, a lot of people have to work hard to actually get their prize. I don't think anyone was "jumping off the handle" a day after they applied for approval. Let's wait and see how you are acting a month from now like some of the people here. See if you are still on "the handle."
I know what its like.. I KNOW about FreePay and patience.. I was STV for the "original" freeipods for about 3 months.. I wasn't jumping off the handle then (I just proceded to do other offer sites in the meantime, and I suggest you do the same before giving up)

cahlan
04-11-2005 08:34:24
I'm in the same boat. I requested approval for my nano back at the end of september, it's now been over a month with no approval.
I really wanted to go for a minimac, but now I think it might just be a waste of time - I'll just work the extra hours it would take to get approved and buy the thing! wink
Natterjak
04-11-2005 10:35:05
Shorty got approved on freeipods though, right? I really think the sites are on different queues, so freeipods seems to be a bit faster than nanos. I requested approval on gaming systems a week after nanos, and I just got my DS, whereas I'm still waiting for approval on nanos (since 9/28).
The other sites seem a bit slower than they used to be, but they still seem to be on reasonable time frames. I really don't know what's up with nanos and why it's taking so incredibly long.

i dont think thats the problem, if a shortage is the case, what is stopping us from getting approved? Why not approve the accounts and just keep it at the processing stage until they have the nano available, if shortage is the case. makes more sense to me.
