I'm a noob trying to get an ipod.

So in your opinions, which is faster? I'm guessing that FIP.com is because they have been doing this the longest, but i dont really know much about this.

One more question, I can't seem to find a deal without a credit card. Is there any on the two sites?

Thanks for any help. I appreciate it.

If they do require credit cards. Then can I use mine for friends? Something like they sign up and ship to their house, but use my card to pay? Do they check the info? I have a couple if that helps.

Thanks, oh i think im going to use mp3players4free.com

yea, they check. that would get you disqualified. also make sure none of your referrals signs up from a computer in your house or anyone's house who has already done the offer.

Damn it, are you sure. I mean the offer companies give out credit card info? That's a bit scary. Oh well. I need free stuff

That's why I use single use credit card numbers from Discover. Only the first company you give them to can ever use them, so they can't be 'leaked' to another person.

Your billing information is never released to Gratis, OfferCentric, or anyone else.

I know i must seem stupid, but if the offer companies don't give out billing info, then how do they check that its legit? Do they use only the ip address and the shipping address? And if they dont use credit info, then why cant i use my card for my friends to signup?

Also, so youre saying that I should use the discover card method?

Thanks for your help and patience.

What's the "discover card method"?

The discover card method is probably using their "one-time use" card service. They give you a number that's valid for one transaction only.

That's what I'm thinking of using. Has anyone used this before?

Yeah, I've done a few offers using this. I really do like using my Discover online just because of this feature. Even if somebody takes the card number, it's useless to them.

BTW, it's not 'one transaction only', it's one business only. You can use a single use card number to sign up for a service that you get billed repeatedly on. I use a single use card number with NetFlix and they sure haven't had any problems getting the money.

I've only used a Simongiftcards.com Visa card hat my wife recieved as bonus at work. There was only like 10 bucks left on it, but I don't have to worry about autoships being erroneously billed to my account.

ok, so all i should do is use the discovery card thing for my friend and they should count as unique referals?

generaltso89

im still not so sure about this though, anyone else has experience with using randomly generated discovery card numbers?

It all depends on which company you are dealing with.
