Sent in my approval form about 2 weeks ago, and still haven't been fully approved.

How long has it taken for everyone else to get approved? I just need to know if I might need to send in another form.

Hey Jake, you have any good news you can give us on approvals, a lot of us have been waiting a few weeks and need some good news here.

Been waiting 9 days since mine were marked as delivered by USPS delivery confirmation (3/13).

That is for flatscreens.freepay. This is my second round of approvals (first round was before this mail-in system took place).

So for me

form delivered 3/13 - Flatscreens.Freepay. Status Waiting.


Can everyone else update with their date of DELIVERY (date when you sent it is damn near useless since USPS can be so random sometimes) along with which site requesting approval on?

Rewman

I wish there was a "approval form received" status, so at least I know everything is going ok.. I mean I know it was delivered because usps, but it would be nice if the status page changed a bit.

Well March 29, 2006 will be week 4 for me if you count 5 day intervals (working week aka business days) and still no word - I sent two forms in first, then another, then another. I find it rather sad that they haven't updated my account when I mailed in the form the day after the new TOS and I only live 20 minutes away. I mailed two forms from two seperate places so I know at least one has gotten there. March 29th hits Im sending in another form via mail.

stagim

23-03-2006 07:04:41

I sent one in by regualr mail on 3/1 (from CA) and was approved on 3/9.
My other 2 sites though that I sent on 3/3 are still waiting

Maybe the people who are getting the run around have referrals who did the MusicNow offer. That's the only thing that I can figure.

grm

23-03-2006 08:39:34

I don't think they've processed any since the new TOS. Most people that have got approved are probably carried over from approval from before the new system. -they clicked for approval before the new TOS went into effect.

They might have processed a few forms from the first few days after.

egyptianruin

23-03-2006 08:43:45

Well I had clicked for approval prior to the new TOS and they told me I had to mail in the form

I wish they would at least send an e-mail or something so I know that everything is ok.

There should be a loading bar for processing

{15% form received} {20% analysis of blah}{45% lookin good} etc...

.....or approvals should go through a bit faster.

That would be a hell of a good idea, it certainly would make me feel a little bit more secure about my approval form and the fact I didn't send it in certified, I mean, what if they never got my form and I just wait for 4 weeks for nothing....My time might even be up by then....jake should suggest this to the upper-management guys....

I have a question for people. I went to the post office and did priority shipping and delivery confirmation, because I thought the delivery confirmation was the thing that would tell me if they got it. First of all is that what it is, and how would I go about finding out if they got it.

chillywilly

25-03-2006 08:43:43

Delivery confirmation helps, but what I understand about verified mail, using Certified mail would be the best option here. Certified mail is where they deliver it someone who must sign a form. You get the signed form back in the mail, which is your proof that it was officially delivered.

Delivery confirmation is more of a simple verification that your package was delivered.

Yeah, not that I'm being negative, but with the month almost gone, I think all of us that expire on May 31, 2006 are going to be tired of waiting and wondering when we get approved.

For me, I've still got one more green before I get to experience the mail-in form approval wait.

Very depressing, considering I will probably have to wait another 2 weeks for my laptops to be approved. (will probably have 24 greens by that time).


Then have to place order and wait a month for it to ship.

lol, thats not the case always either

I filed for approval on February 15th, I waited 13 days then they changed to a voucher. I asked Jake about it and he said I had to send in voucher.

Waited few days and mailed it in. They received it on March 6th.

So to date 41[/size517d291205]days and counting. Not looking good at all. Might need a new sig. ?

Maybe Freepay is over their head with this. It's probably hard to keep track of so much mail.

zulu342

29-03-2006 15:38:23

The new referral method is that every referral will feel more special to you. This is accomplished by having every offers require manual crediting. It's a way of making you feel a closer connection -- a bonding experience if you will -- to each referral. Whereas in the past, a green is just a green, now it's the green I've waited on while dating Sarah or the March Madness green. Each one is special ... just like everyone of you.

The instant ones of course will still be credited instantly -- as soon as your manual crediting fax is processed. This is not a waiting process ... wait is such a negative word. Instead, think of it as a culturing of the green (which takes a minimum of 15 days). For optimum green culturing, it may take up to 30 days except the 'instant' offers cited above. Have a fabulous day.

Be sure to culture and name your greens.

J4320

29-03-2006 15:47:14

Also this new method that Freepay has builds up your worries and stress because they know that we free site people have life so easy so they want to balance it out.

You have 30 days after completion (or after the first 90 days are up whichever is longer) to MAIL the form.. The postmarked date.. So it doesn't matter how long it takes them to approve it as long as you mailed it off by the date. It's not counting against you at all unless they decide to DQ some greens and you have to try and get more... then time matters.

how exactly does that make freepay homosexual? you mean freepay is being a complete jerk for not approving us, while telling us everything would be much faster? the old approval system was fine. I don't think they clearly justify their response for doing so.

Yes but no one I know of has been approved from the mailed in approval forms. I sent mine in the DAY after the TOS change, I live in Baltimore - they are in DC - it shouldnt have taken that long and CS claims they are processed in the order they are received - so by that thinking I should have been approved some time ago as well as the others who sent theirs certified and it was received more than 4 weeks ago...This leads me to believe they either just recently started approving forms or haven't even started yet...

Hi, I sent in my approval form the first week of March, and USPS said that it was received on March 3. How do I know for sure that you guys even have the form and are currently processing it, or going to be processing it? And how much longer am I going to have to wait to be approved? It has almost been 4 weeks. Thanks.

[quoted45eb86c99="shopaholic"]Bill from this thread said he got his laptop from freepay after he turned in his approval form... somethings weird though b/c they processed it in one day (and he put it in the mail on Sunday)... does anyone else feel something is odd about that?

http//forum.freeipodguide.com/viewtopic.php?p=372167#372167[/quoted45eb86c99]

i think he sent in the form even though he had requested approval before the time freepay issued the approval forms and he sent in the approval form anyways.

I do agree that complaining isn't doing anything!

I would just like him to notice that talking about what headphones he's using probably isn't going to be taken too well when there are people waiting, still with a 90 day time limit!, for something to happen. Get some answers or do something work related to help the other "departments"!

Look over the cube wall to the "Fraud Prevention Department" and say 'hey why aren't you approvin' these 200 forms sitting in front of you?' 'Oh you're playing solitaire I get it.' Then post 'he's playing solitaire. he'll get to them on/or after May 30th' Or scream down to the guy at the vending machine(the "Fulfillment Department") 'hey why aren't we getting any 360s?' 'Oh the snack machine ate your dollar'...you get it.

05-04-2006 09:19:38

No-one can give you a screenshot of the approval screen since the new site changes or the TOS change, since no-one has been approved since then! Only ones that got approved are the ones that clicked the approval button before the change.

They're NOT processing the forms, yet.

Sorry!

While we cannot guarantee a date that your account will be approved, we can assure you that we are working as hard as we can to approve all accounts in a timely manner. Accounts are approved on a first-come, first-served basis and due to the recent release of new products on our other sites and recent international expansion of our organization; we have had an influx of approval requests. At times of high volume such as now there is a chance that an account can take at least 15-25 business days to approve. Thank you in advance for your continued patience.

Just go to the post office and go up to a clerk and ask to send it certified mail. Once done they will give you a slip with a tracking number on it, you can check the tracking number through the USPS website.

No you would act as though you were mailing it.

egyptianruin

07-04-2006 14:34:09

I never thought I would say it but I am actually becoming angry on how long it is taking for approvals. There is no reason it should take 5 weeks to approve an account, especially since FreePay claimed they wanted to make approval times faster. They haven't process one approval form thus far that I have read about on ANY forum so what it the approval and fraud department doing? It does not take five weeks to look into someone's account to determine if there are fraudulant refs. I am starting to think bad things about FreePay - how they could be setting up to back out of the business - and until now I didn't think so. I still gave FreePay a chance and promoted their site. I know I will get a bunch of crap about this - but when I am checking daily for my status and nothing changes and the only response to ANY ticket I send them regarding why I haven't been approved in 5 WEEKS I get

[ib159f9adee]We are sorry for the delay. Unfortunately due to such high levels of fraud we are forced to be very cautious in approving accounts. We have to approve accounts individually on first-come-first-serve basis. However, this process may take up to 15+ business days during high-volume periods involving new, in-demand products. You can check the approval status of your account at any time by viewing the "Status" page. Thank you for your patience. [/ib159f9adee]

I have been waiting since March 2, 2006 for approval I am now infuriated. Generic CS responses piss me off and someone blatantly lying to me pisses me off more. Just tell me the fraud department hasn't checked one form, or approved one account since the change and you don't know why... not "it may take 15+ business days" because it's WAY beyond that.

Killerman, did you not even bother to read this thread?

There are some folks here (myself included), that are going on week 6 of this "approval form" debacle without any idea what Freepay is actually doing with the forms (maybe being used as toilet paper to cut costs?)

So, do you really expect some kind of validation in a week?

killerman

11-04-2006 17:06:47

i dont care what they do with it
just want to know they received it
mmmmk?

I'm starting week 3 as of tomorrow since they received my forms, but it feels like an eternity.

I know no one has been approved yet in the new policy. However, I did read that some people's referrals were DQ after they sent in the forms. So, how did you know this? Did they contact you somehow? Or did you just keep checking your site and your approval status disappeared?

Responding to the person who wonder if they can do a good DIY site and get that item before freepay sends... well I did a Nuitech site a little after the freepay one. My item will be arriving tomorrow according to FedEx. My freepay item will be arriving... I have no idea.

3 weeks here

this is very out of hand. If they're gonna screw us, at least tell us and let us at least spare our time!

What a mess

My ipod is 7/5 green, 2 yellows that did offer but aren't getting credit...plus i ended up doing 2 of my own offers (and I didn't sign up under anyone) cause the crediting sucked.

So they got 11 offers done from me. Considering the average payout of a sponsor they are definitely pulling in enough for my ipod, and some to profit on top of it.

11 OFFERS because of their crappy crediting. I find it funny that small networks can have the SAME offers and yet freepay takes 200x longer to credit. Which means to me that they like taking their time.
It's sickening really.

You know what's even greater... After you're approved... it will take up to 6-8 weeks to get your gift. I have a feeling all this is going to be settled in court. This is my first "referral" freebie and it will be my last... I've allowed these goons to sell my personal info for over a year now and I have over 1000 spam emails from last month alone to prove they've done it. For the amount of trades I did I could have gotten a $500 Giftcard from a DIY site and bought a fricken PSP.

As someone mentioned... they're probably backlogged a couple of million and don't have the money to fulfill orders... Which is fine if they're honest about it. But don't tell us you haven't received our forms or you haven't opened the mail yet... I worked in a payment processing center before and each rep would process over 100 pieces of mail an hour... which included entering account numbers, routing numbers and account numbers from checks, and clicking other buttons to ensure it was credited correctly. 1 person would do between 650-800 pieces in an 8 hour shift... multiply that by two and you pretty much have all of our orders taken care of.

All they have to do is be honest and not be vague... and wouldn't it make sense to validate accounts prior to having to print out the form... that way if there's a problem, we don't have to submit another form and wait an additional 4 weeks.

We're all breakage to them and I sense the bankruptcy hammer falling on Freepay real soon...

If I'm wrong... Correct me and put our minds at ease. ?

Imo because they need a way to pay for the law suit...Kind of a smart move I guess.They needed a way to slow down the processing time, and make more users sign up and do offers fast hence the 90 day policy to fill up there accounts and run (or bankruptcy that was mentioned above) twisted ..just like there tos says they don't have to give us anything even after completing the refs. lossing more & more confidence in freepay each day...Since I sent in my form I have started, finished and recieved my item from trainn..

phunkstar

I'm the negative one so let me add a little more negativity (and reality)

Approval for PS3 means nothing...you're looking at, what, maybe 12-16 months before Fraudpay even needs to [i8e48b296d4]think[/i8e48b296d4] about sending you something.

If I'm approved for PS3 before the others (sent in before PS3), then I'll be 100% convinced Freepay has no intention of shipping anything until the lawsuit is resolved. Have you all read what they are up against?

http//www.oag.state.ny.us/press/2006/mar/Affirmation%20of%20Karen%20Geduldig.pdf

Looks bad for Jewell & Martin. Greedy fucks.

johnjimjones

13-04-2006 11:28:54

I don't think PS3 has a problem with sending them out, but price. The price of PS3 is going up $100 at least from anticipated. So we're all going to need more referrals.

grm

13-04-2006 11:38:17

I believe what he's saying is, they're only approving PS3 accounts and not others, such as Ipods or anything else. Because the PS3 wait is still a year out.

So by approving them and keeping some people happy they are avoiding SOME b!tching.

But still not approving accounts that would require them actually shipping.

At least get your story straight. Have you ever read an indictment? They're written to persuade the grand jury/judge that the case should go to trial, so of course this one looks bad for Jewell and Martin.

I made the incredible dumb mistake of not mailing my form in by certified mail.

I was going to open a ticket to ask if they got it or if I need to send another form in. But I can't find where to open a ticket. On the help page it says to make sure I have Active Script enabled. I've tried Safari, Shiira, Firefox and IE and I can't get anything?

Any suggestions?

[quote04549000c4="mpbollywoodking"]true, but i have a month until my account expires[/quote04549000c4]

if you sent in the form before the expiration date it will not matter. the only way it will matter is if one of your referrals is red or doesnt count. then you are likely screwed.

Finally had to bite the bullet and contact an attorney, since they clearly are operating fraudulently.

omg omg.... guess what guys/gals.... I just got approved for my laptops site.... This is great news!!!! I sent my laptop and xbox approval forms on the same day... but I only got approved on my laptop site. Hope I'll get approved on the rest soon!!! I think it was because of the 2 extra refs I just got recently ) I'm happy thought

BTW, This is the status for me so far I sent my laptop and xbox approval form through regular mail on 3/9. I sent the approval form for minimacs and ps3 on 3/13. I got approved for laptop today )

Or youre just very impatient and stupid. People are waiting patiently and people are getting approved, you can just wait and so far it hasnt been 7 weeks but it is close to it. Just be patient freepay has done nothing wrong at all yet and youre just sitting here complaining. But if you got an attorney good for you and have fun with whatever youre doing.

I wish I would have done giftcard instead of iPod.

With all of the backorders and everything, it would be easier to get a gift card e-mailed to me and then just go and buy an iPod.

Does anybody know if there is any way to switch?

Just got approved for ipodnanos. It says it may take up to 4-6 weeks to delivery though -- due to shortages.

I sent in my form on March 14.

I've waited about a month and change.

I sent my form in via regular mail from NY, so I assume they got my form on say, the 16th of March.

Right now, I'm "processing". It did say that due to shortages of ipod nanos from the supplier, it may take 4-6 weeks for me to receive it.

Sounds like they're approving by site. -first come first serve. Good to hear they're actually approving!!!

I also don't think it was fair of them to kill three of our weeks.

johnjimjones

Yeah I'm on digitalcameras and they received mine on the 13th. ?
Since digitalcameras is higher priced item, it'll probably take longer which is gay.

20-04-2006 09:40:10

I'm going on a month+ now for my freepay ipods

do I send in another form? I didn't send certified mail last time...that's just a convienant excuse for them to overlook it since I have no proof they recieved it.

I guess i'll send another form <sigh>

first freebie site I ever finished. Now I've recieved over 2 grand in freebies and still no freepay ipod. LOL. Completely ridiculous. I actually have 7 greens too plus I signed up unreferred. That's 8 offers for them which in itself pays for my damn ipod

I mailed mine in for nanos, postmarked on March 7th and received on March 9th. I stopped checking my account daily about a week ago so I don't know the exact date, but when I logged in today I saw that I have now been approved. So ~6 weeks.

what site did you send approvals in for? according to my chart, i only have you down for digital camera... i don't have any info on anyone else for that site...

but it does seem that they are doing it by site.. so these people saying they got their items were not from digital cameras. so don't worry. i'm sure you'll get yours soon. if i get more ppl on the list and they are in the same line you are in and they start getting their items before you, that's when i'll start to seriously panic. hope you feel better.

Yeah oh well, I was supposed to have this camera for spring break and now i'm kinda bent out of shape because of that. Also I sent in for approval on PS3 around the 20thish I don't remember the exact date.

we are down to a few days over a month left. If they don't approve for another two weeks we'll only have about two weeks to complete it. not even knowing whether we're getting credit.

I felt exactly the way you do until about 5 minutes ago when they finally approved my account! I was waiting at least 6 weeks (sent my application in about Mar 10), so don't give up hope. I just hope they will get it sent to me SOON.

26-04-2006 10:58:28

Well, going by the Time Frame everyone has laid out... 40-50 days from the time they receive the form... it's safe to say that my form which was rcvd on the 31st will be approved on May 14th or so...

I just want my PSP too.

Rewman- HAHA I feel ya and sometimes we do need to vent. I'm not doing any freepay stuff until I get my others approved... which means the one thats sitting there will probably run out of the 90 day stats! still i dont want to take any risk.

they got mine april 13th for a mac mini. no indication whatsoever that it's even being checked over despite submitting a ticket asking if they got it. I can't wait until mid-May when they say two of my referrals are black or something so I have no time to get any new ones.
