I think I'm the first person to complete the site =D

I placed my order yesterday (I didn't get an email saying my account had been approved though so I think it was an automated approval?) and right now my status shows "Order Received"

I can't wait, this will be my first physical freebie in a LONG time =D

What all did you have to do? What offers/refs?

WhyPayItsFree

15-10-2006 12:41:52

Thanks. I didn't do any offer. Got a referral who got abt 8 credits.. So I ordered. Working on second gift but hard to find referrals now..

tylerc

15-10-2006 12:47:56

How much PayPal did you get for 8 credits?

WhyPayItsFree

15-10-2006 14:49:18

Just checked. It was 7.5 and I got $175 paypal.

BTW, they updated their sites and its good now.

Video professor is 2 points so I pay $10 / point so any one doing it gfets, $20 from me

and 2points from them (if this is his first offer) thats approx $40 (125/5.5) even though no paypal for less than 5.5 points

so, not bad $60 for vid. prof..

unknown uchiha

15-10-2006 15:10:06

I got 2 refs, 1 did 3 points for $35 and the other did 3 points for a green on Trainn's Nano site

WhyPayItsFree

15-10-2006 15:30:40

So you got 6 points, what did you order unknown uchiha ?

If you ordered 5.5 points gift, were you able to use .5 points later ?

Something strange happening with GM now, no credits. two referrals facing problems. more than 6 offers.. One referrals credit suddenly disappeared. Dont know what's happening..

unknown uchiha

15-10-2006 15:32:45

DS Lite = 6 points

They debit the points once you place an order, right? Because my referrals are back at 0 points earned for me.

WhyPayItsFree

15-10-2006 15:34:02

yes they debit it.

But after my first gift, I am facing lots of problems as I mentioned

unknown uchiha

15-10-2006 15:48:29

Hm can't help you there until I experience it myself. Have you opened a support ticket and such?

MotherNordic

15-10-2006 20:33:18

I placed my order today and it says "Order Placed" so i'm guesing the next status will be "Order Recieved" then most likely "Order Shipped" right?

I hope they pay us our PayPal monday unknown uchiha!

FreeEnterprize Joe

15-10-2006 21:21:25

No, I think Order Placed is essentially STV...

unknown uchiha

15-10-2006 21:48:34

I ordered a DS Lite. Last I checked, a DS Lite doesn't come with Paypal. In fact, Nintendo doesn't pay their pals. They get paid by them.

So which two days does OC ship gifts?

Just placed my order this afternoon.

This is my first OC site and I must say I am pretty impressed. D

wow I'm surprised you did do OC sites when they first came out. They were really good then.

I was supposed to go STV on Friday, and no status change. =/

Speaking of orders, I'm in a bit of a pickle.

I had downgraded my gift selection to the Shuffle (lowest point gift) at 4.5 points. I had 5 points. Over the weekend, I secured one more point, so I could order the Nano. Somehow, I went into approval for the 4.5 shuffle, and thus was never able to change my gift selection. Now my account status is "submit order." I'm reluctant to submit my order not knowing if I can change my gift selection in the order process, or just confirm my address...Anyone know?

I've submitted a support ticket.

So how many offers would I have to complete for a ds lite?

Tsmith10803

23-10-2006 13:35:57

ds lite is 6 offers


anyway, I just did some offers because of this thread

I too was kind of in the same situation.

I was about to change my gift from $125 to $225 but as soon as you get the required number of points they put you into automatic approval.

There's no other way to change your gift. I submitted a support ticket but never received a reply so I just said fuck it and placed my order, now my account has been reset, I have 0 points as do my refs.

It's no big deal, it just sucks that they don't let you change your gift and put your account into automatic approval.

wait, do you get to keep that extra point? like if i get 6 instead of 5 points?

i am up for the $125 paypal, but theres a chance i'll get an extra point, but will i get to keep it? or once i order, my point will disappear and i will have 0 points, instead of 1

When you checkout, you loose all the excess points also so try and get exactly 5.5 or change to another gift.

BTW,If you can do GM, Please PM Me.

Wow, that's crappy. I thought I read at A4F you retained all unused points. I don't think there's anything in their T&C that state a) they place your order for you (I think they're the only site to do that) b) that you lose the points unless you redeem them all.

All in all, a bummer.

TSJ, how long did you wait on your support request before giving up, and placing the order?

WhyPayItsFree

23-10-2006 22:43:17

I confirmed with OC Owner Mr. Steven and he said you will loose the excess points during checkout

I. Have. Not. Even. Gone. STV. 1+ Week. "We approve daily and ship twice a week"

How about "ship once a year"?

Hmm. I didn't know that his full name was Mr. Steven Holmes

Well, Paypal is twice a week I think ( Monday and Friday). But I placed two orders and got first within 15hours of order, second, I got within 3 hours of order ( 2 hours to verify )
