So you have to be 18 for any of these offers, however, the owner of this site is my age (17), so how did he manage to complete the offer legally? Parents? Older friends?

Yea, eBay asks you to be 18, all you do is put in a different year. They don't know you.

How do you get a credit card for some of these sites? Do you use the charged ones, if so, how do they work, because the only options I have seen are the typical visa.

You get approved... then they send you the card and you activate it...

Could you please explain in more detail than that, that tells me nothing. I'm obviously new to this so it would help if you'd specify what you're being approved for, I'm assuming you're talking about a credit card, but I figure a 17 year-old couldn't be approved for one.

You mean the credit card offers, or using a credit card to do an offer?

Sorry, I mean all the offers in general and the fact that they ask you to use a credit card.

Oh I thought you were talking about doing one of the Credit Card offers to actually recieve one.

You use a credit or debit card. You can also get prepaid credit cards at grocery stores and places like that. Not all of the sites specify that you must be 18, just that you need a credit card.

How is it possible to use one of these prepaid cards though?
And to emoemodude, I'm assuming you're under 18 but if not I guess disregard this question, did you actually get approved for the credit card? I can see how most of the offers don't check to see if you're 18, but I would imagine applying for a new credit card would involve a serious background check on your credit history and hence your age as well.

Prepaid credit cards are used just like normal credit cards.
Don't do a credit card offer. Usually those involve you actually needing to be approved for the credit card to get credit. And since you're under 18, you won't be approved.

no, gratis hates us, they are nazis and stop coming into these boards to help us. If you're under 18 then just do it legally and use all of your dads info and his credit card, so it's his account, not yours.
