You guys seem like you're trying to get more money out of us, so why don't you just reset people's accounts when the deadline passes instead of closing them? You'll get more money that way.

Person A wants refs for his site, so he signs up under someone to desktoppc's and greens for a trade. Person A doesn't want to complete the desktoppc site because he has no need to. So he leaves it there, and it expires. But wait, Person A's computer crashes and he needs a new one. He decides go do some other free site instead of Freepay because his account closed down and Freepay has lost some business.

Now wouldn't it be better to just reset his account and take his credit away and everything so now he actually considers doing your site since he wants a desktop PC? He'll now do another offer and get you more money and he'll get some refs AND, if he doesn't finish, you can just reset his account again.

It just makes more sense to do it that way to me. And in my opinion, it looks like Freepay suddenly just slapped on some weird rules to benefit them, but they didn't think of the repercussions their actions would cause.

Just look at the approval mess. It seems to me like you guys just did that so people would have a harder time finishing and therefore you don't have to give out as much stuff, and now you're in a huge approval mess because you didn't really think of the reprecussions of your actions.

But anyway, I think you guys should reset accounts instead of closing them. Because who knows.... I might come back a year later and decide to try for a mini mac or something.

well.....if the the dude completes the site and gets his pc....wont Freepay lose Money?

if you think about...10 refs for a $500 product. $50 per offer. I dont think Freepay gets paid $50 per ref.

I heard free sites make money from people who dont complete their accts for refs...

so if the dude had 6/10 refs, then his deadline ends. Thats 6 offers Freepay makes of profit, since they arent sending out an item.

Im just sayin...for Freepay the deadline is prob better...but not for consumers like us cry

just my thoughts...but whatever you think!

I don't even think I was the first to ask for this, but a bunch of us asked this of Jake in one of his official threads. I don't remember him ever commenting on it directly though. (

Probably but most people don't finish free sites so if people restart, Freepay has probably already made money off of them and now he's starting again. People give up A LOT on free sites.

I don't like the 90 day rule, but all my websites have been completed within 90 days so I'm fine with that. It's just not good for the new users who we refer.

I have been waiting since MARCH 16th. Its now May 04, with 26 days to go before there "fraud" detection team totaly rapes one of my referrals, causing me to not get a 360, and hate Freepay the rest of my life.
I'll bet any amount of money Freepay will just not even look at some accounts that need approving, and just let them close, and the others- well they can red referrals for whatever reason they want. It says so in there TOS. If you ever read the TOS you know what bad shape were all in. (

As each day passes, my anxiety grows. I'm only 5 refs away on laptops, and that seems more and more of an impossible goal to complete.

If I had more time, I know I could do it.

It's especially painful since I was lobbying Gratis for this site. (

As did I. I think freepay scared off more people than they realize with that little policy change of theirs.

No they only scared off people who would really have a 90% chance of finishing it. Any kid who finds an advertisement for ipods.freepay will still join due to the fact it is the largest company and has shipped out over $1 million in gifts.

Needless to say they wont finish, and freepay will make more money which is what its all about anyways.

Only thing i dont agree with is the 90 days to finish laptops.

If you give up, freepay wins! I've been saying it for so long. If you [i57922fb31c]really[/i57922fb31c] want to stick it to the man, complete all the sites you can. That will really piss them off.

I just got my 5 refs but I am scared that 1 will be denied and I won't get my ipod at all. Did any of you get an extra like the site suggests?

yeah i have a trade pending for psps that I am waiting to go green. this will make my psps have 6 greens, if it ever goes thru. if it doesnt go thru by the deadline i guess we will have to work something else out.

although I have bitched about it before, I highly doubt that freepay would default accounts without evidence of TOS violation.

also, I think that the 90 day thing sucks when it is combined with the shitty manual credit. that blows.

psps was my last freepay site that I will be going after my traded refs for sites like freepay360 will just die at the end of the month. I think either accounts should reset or they should let u sign up again. that is just me.
I still think that they should have let those who signed up for sites before the TOS change have a longer period, or be grandfathered in, but that would make things more complicated and slower.
lastly, please approve my ps3 )

What should be scaring you off is the fact that every day more and more people are legitimately completing Freepay sites yet they are not shipping anything out! (Or a tiny percentage, maybe 1-2% of what should be going out.)
