THE SITE IS A RIPOFF, AND THE GUY IS A SCAMMER. Contacted me a while ago to do a trade for his searchcactus link, and he never did my part of the deal. Do not take part in this site for your own good.

Images could be better quality, and the only thing getting "legal steal" here is the ridiculous referral requirements. Note to owner You make more money having fair referral requirements then trying to rip people off with inflated ones...if you can't figure out why you don't belong in the business world.

I run this site with Jpac, and I see that everyone here wasn't too thrilled about it when we first started. We now have over 1000 users and I have shipped no less than $4000 of stuff. Yes we may have sort of high referral rates, but this is necessary for the site to stay legitimate, and shipping quickly. We also have some very easy offers and offer combos you can do, this makes the refs even easier to get. Right now shipping has slowed down due to a huge increase in users, but shipments will be made as often as possible. Once our payments catch up to the user increase rate, I will be shipping biweekly (would be faster if we could trust everyone not to use pre-paid CCs). So, try it out if you like, or check out our forums before you sign up if you want to talk to some members.

I think I understand the big rant against pre-paid credit cards.
Is it so the advertisers can automatially bill their payments without a chance to cancel?
A pre-paid credit card with $30 credit is no different than a credit card that only has $30 of available, with the exception that a credit card company can charge an overlimit fee and approve an amount that's far beyond. This is the biggest problem, even if you do decide to not continue the trial. And it can really fuck with someone's credit if you have too many overlimit charges.
Yes, I can hear the argument now... "well, if you would pay down your credit card, that wouldn't happen.." I've heard that argument before.
It's pretty obvious that most ppl that do they free sites don't really have the disposable cash to go out and purchase said "freebie" Some do, and that's great. But I'll argue that the majority don't. These sites should know this already.
If there is a good offer, I'm all for keeping it. I did with Netflix, NY Times Sunday paper, Great Fun, Literary Guild... just to name a few that I still have and am paying ongoing monthly fees (ie. Netflix).
If I decide to try an offer and it doesn't work out and I contact the company to let them know I do not wish to continue that offer because it didn't work out for me, then that should be acceptable.
I am firmly against signing up for a trial offer and then cancelling right away. I always use the trial for the full time. And if I decide to keep the offer, it is my responsibility to have enough money on my credit card (credit-based or pre-paid) for that charge to clear.
Normally, if it's an offer I decide to keep, I'll call and change credit cards for ongoing billing to avoid any issues with the pre-paid card.
But I can tell you that for some of these advertisers, they make their money not on the ppl that keep their offers... not on the ppl that try the offer and pay the $5.95 shipping charge... but on the ppl that forget to cancel their offers IF THEY DO NOT wish the keep them.
This is the real reason, IMO, that they don't like pre-paid cards. It thwarts their autoship programs from billing to a credit card that can extend past someone's credit limit.
And this is the reason I will continue to use pre-paid cards for doing offers , even though I have several "real" credit cards.
In the end it boils down to one thing and one thing only if someone likes the offer, they will keep it. Which means, the more offers that appeal to people (like Blockbuster, Great Fun, Netflix), the more ppl will keep them past their trials.
Sorry for my rant, but this is a big issue with me when someone slams pre-paid credit cards.
