Got my final green and sent for approval 8AM this morning. Just wondering if they're going to keep me hanging through the weekend.

Just out of curiosity, did you do the stamps offer?

nah, I've been doing the "Advantage" offers, they're about the best deal out there. I only have one left unfortunetly.

which they didn't, why would you even say that?
I requested approval yesterday too, i'll post any updates i get. Looks like other people this week were getting approved in a same day/24 hour time frame. good luck.
it took about 3 hours from putting in for approval to processing for me...it was quick and that was Tuesday.

I said what I said because EB-Games and the like have stopped taking pre-orders.

how long do you think we have? Im still waiting on credit for my own offer on there, and someone else signed up like 3 days ago and his still hasnt gone green..
Almost all the offers i signed up for like 3 days ago have yet to go green.
Irritating

and just great, one of my friends was not approved. User not unique despite knowing she did everything correctly. gotta love it! So where do i go from here.. can i just get another friend since i doubt emailing them and asking for the reason why she wasnt approved would be worthwhile. I dont believe im on hold, just that i now only have 4 referrals. Ive never been in this situation, does anyone know?
thanks buddies

Yup, you can get another referral, then go through the whole process again! You aren't on hold, but have to get another person.

It's worth opening up a trouble ticket. When I went for approval of my ipod, I was put on hold because my referal and I had similar email addresses. They looked into it and took me off hold in like 24 hours. Maybe be worth an inquiry.

good call, its worth a try. I've been around this game long enough to realize if there was some obvious reason she was flagged, hope for the best!

I submitted on a Wednesday PM, then posted on here asking when I would be approved. Someone answered Monday AM. I was approved 1st thing Monday AM. Figured that meant Gratis only approves Monday-Wednesday.

Hopefully it doesn't change from processing anytime soon (no offense to those sitting on processing). I'm still waiting for approval. I'd rather I get approved before it switches over. Atleast then I know I still have a chance.

Is there some reason why i would not be approved then? I requested approval on wednesday at noon. It sounds like you requested after me but got approved before me....
EDIT Am i reading this wrong? did you submit last wednesday or a different weds?
Is it still too early to contact gratis regarding this?
kaymin
21-03-2005 22:25:04
wait 5 business days and then contact them if you have to, but wait till tommorow at least since he got his today

I'm in the same boat you are Joe. I'm hoping I can make it in on the first shipment of them.

Sorry for the confusion bud. I applied on March 2 and was approved on the 7th.

my approval stage went past the 5 business days so i contacted gratis and got this response from them...
Sorry for the delay. Because we approve each account individually, on a first come-first serve basis, this may sometimes take longer than the stated time. We are also currently experiencing an influx of accounts submitted for approval. Please be patient with us. Thank you for your cooperation.
So now who knows how much longer i'll be wating...

Gratis is a problem......I was approved on PSPs, iPod Shuffle, and GamingSystems in 12 hours, but FreeMiniMacs is taking much longer. I think they're a little slow this week. It's my 5th day on MiniMacs.

I submitted on Tue evening (3/22) and was approved today also (3/25). That's about 3 business days, so they were right on the mark for me.
I'm sure it's just a matter of timing for everone, but I have absolutely no complaints. This is my 2nd free item and the first one took less than a week to go from "Approved" to "Received."
I don't expect it, but it would be nice to see this one do the same....

25-03-2005 15:39:11
I'm approved as well! Just put in my order and now I'm "processing".
Took 5 business days (7 days total since I ask for approval last saturday).
