A. I am aware there was a previous thread, but I can't seem to find it, mods, please merge if you do find it.

B. I am aware there have been some minor changes in policy which may have pushed back some other projects

I've finished this site (several times...several DQ'd referrals) and I wanted to make sure I got an updated computer rather then the older stock.

I'm also wondering as I have seen in the new policy question thread if one of my refs goes black while im using the paper approval will I be able to look for more refs?

If you are aware of the old post and have not found your answer, that means there is no answer.

Or you can wait several more days until Freepay announces something.

Meantime, i'm bitching here and Jake sent me a PM.

Jake wrote
"The update was held up but the pieces are in place. "

The rest was personal about how he misses spending time with me and how we never seem to talk anymore.

When did he pm you? How come i'm not getting any PM back (

I was also waiting for this update, but I guess FreePay adding rules to prevent us from finishing sites got in the way of a much needed upgrade.

Customers are always thought of first for FreePay.

My PM was special...we have a special friendship...and I sent it a few days ago.

I figured with this whole fiasco he might have cleared his pm's, but appearently he's just getting to them as he can.

'll probably end up waiting until around April 1st before moving on and just getting the Acer. I want to leave myself plenty of time just in case Freepay's new policies cause an unexpected delay. The last thing I want to do is wait right up until May 31st and then not get my laptop because of a technicality.

can these computers you are naming be purchased in bulk or is it one of those one per customer deals?

I don't think they offer in bulk, but I suppose it would be even cheaper if sold in bulk.

Sorry Jake, but i'm still wondering when we will see an update on this site.

Also, i'm a month into approval, i'm sure I still have time to wait, but are they that backlogged?

well, I don't "know know that" but it can't take them thattt long. if not, then it'll be next week(but let's push them for this week)

I've also ordered the cyberpower, but the one thing I'm afraid of is

a) they don't order the current cyberpower one that is priced at $599

b) they send me a giftcard of $500, like they did with that other guy who ordered the acer laptop or something.

None of the desktops/laptops on freePay appeal to me. I hope freePay adds new desktops soon! If not, I'll probably get the Aser Aspire laptop and resell it on eBay.

Goob

04-05-2006 09:48:41

If they were to update it, I don't even know if I'd cancel my order to get a newer laptop. I've been "processing" my order for a month now (7 to 10 business days! HA!) and I don't know if it's worth my time to do this all over again!

Jake, you told me to order one of the machines available because refs might go up on this site. I did and i'm now 15 days into processing. What's the estimated wait time on these computers, and will it be an updated version of the cyberpower...because the one listed is no longer available from them.

I believe we will update the Cyberpower.

At this time though, I am pretty sure that we will no longer be increasing the amount of referrals....so you can wait until the full update occurs if you wish.

You won't have to reorder. If the CyberPower gets updated, then you will receive the updated configuration immediately.

As for the full site update, I have no idea why it was only partially completed. I proposed computers for the update and some were uploaded while others were not.

I'll have it figured out soon.

Jake, how about putting the 10 ref laptops that were on there on laptops, so people who don't have the 20 can complete the site?

Um, and can you do this in a couple of days too? !
