EveryFreeGift :: YFDirect

EveryFreeGift is by far the most popular site from YFDirect. But before we get into the site, let's establish some info on YFDirect.
By participating in any YFDirect site, you will not get stuck with expensive offers, or offers of doom, but you will be required to wait a while. You will also not be forced to fill out a W-9 form, which means that your gifts will not be registered with the IRS. The wait from start to finish is an average of four to five months.
It is recommended that you create a new email address for completing this site, because while YFDirect itself may not send you any spam email, the offers that you complete most certainly will, and nobody wants to clutter their personal email address.
Now, the first thing you need to do is select your gift. Luckily for you, all gifts from EveryFreeGift are listed on the main site, which can be found at www.EveryFreeGift.com. All gifts on EveryFreeGift cost 6 offers, so it is best to choose the most expensive/valuable item that you are interested in obtaining. Keep in mind that in the beginning of YFDirect, they were often sending checks instead of the actual item. This is no longer what happens in most cases, so make sure that you will not be disappointed if you receive the actual item you select. Also, before you ask, YFDirect is no longer offering a Plasma TV except on their BigWin site. Popular gifts include
$1000 Visa

Once you have decided which gift to go for, you need to signup. After you signup, if it appears that they have your address or shipping information incorrectly, don’t worry, because you will have to include your shipping information on your vouchers, and this is what they will use to ship your gift. Now, once you get to your gift page of available offers, BOOKMARK THIS PAGE. You need to bookmark the page if you want to access it later, or else you will not be able to. This is vitally important. If you forget to bookmark the page, you must signup again with the previous information, which can be a pain. Now, after you signup, YFDirect says that they will email you a link to setup a password to access your account and check status later, but they never do, so you need to follow this link to create your password. www.everyfreegift.com/confirmation.jsp?email=PLACEYOUREMAILHERE
Where it says PlaceYourEmailHere, you need to do just that. Replace that text with the email that you signed up with, and you will be prompted to create a password for your account.
While completing your offers, some users choose to complete the offers from any page, while others choose to stick to the terms that you agree to and complete them 1 on page one, 2 on page two and 3 on page three. It is up to you as to which you do. Customer support has confirmed in some cases that they can be from any page, while other customer support reps have denied this issue or skirted around it. It is your choice if you want to play it safe or risk it. As far as I know, nobody has had their gift revoked for completing the offers from any page, yet.
When browsing through the offer pages, you will notice a key to what your offer status means. Because they are not as clear as could be about your status, I have included my own, easy to understand key below.
PENDING = You have clicked the offer but they haven’t gotten credit for your lead
IN PROGRESS = You have been credited. Now wait 45 days for it to say ‘Approved’
APPROVED = Click on ‘Approved’ to request your voucher in email
CONFIRMED = Your gift will ship in 45 days
SHIPPED = You will receive your gift within 2 weeks in most cases
If your offer does not show IN PROGRESS but you know you completed it, you can request manual credit after 45 days. They tend to be lenient on manual credit, so as long as you save your confirmation email you will be okay. Just email them your confirmation email after 45 days to receive credit.
They have troubles with all email=s, as we saw before with the password creation. The only emails they don’t have problem with are customer support emails. If you do not receive your vouchers in email, go to http//www.everyfreegift.com/support_contact.jsp?pid=&cid=&lid= and send them an email stating so. In most cases you will receive your approval certificates the next business day. Make sure that you add email=support_tier1@EveryFreeGift.comsupport_tier1@EveryFreeGift.coms, as we saw before with the password creation. The only emails they don’t have problem with are customer support emails. If you do not receive your vouchers in email, go to http//www.everyfreegift.com/support_contact.jsp?pid=&cid=&lid= and send them an email stating so. In most cases you will receive your approval certificates the next business day. Make sure that you add email=support_tier1@EveryFreeGift.comsupport_tier1@EveryFreeGift.com/email to your list of contacts because their emails often end up in the spam box.

Definitely worth doing. 6 offers for a Plasma, or even better, a $2500 check (hopefully).

Three questions, both probably foolish
How do I get back to the offers page?
And when it says "Approved on the offers," like this
![]()
homepage.mac.com/ilanbg/everyfreegift.jpg[" alt=""/img], can I send in my voucher?
And why haven't I gotten my confirmation email?
<-- DIY noob. cry
Airkat
27-12-2005 22:06:40
ilan, resign up using the same info, then bookmark it for future us. As for confirmation email, they suck on that, use the trick he posted above
Gigante
27-12-2005 22:14:17
He answered two, and for the voucher, you need all of your vouchers and you need to send them together. So you have one completed, now you need the rest.
ilanbg

I used the trick mentioned, but I still don't get the email. I've done that trick many times in the past as well.

What's another good high-priced gift to do for this site?
Gigante
28-12-2005 12:54:48
if you go to EveryFreeGift.com they have all of them listed. You can get a $1k giftcard for 6 offers
Hi I plan on going for that sony plasma tv. Its cool cause I found out how i can spend no less than 10$ to get it through all the offers. Anyways i am 17 and i want to know after im approved what voucher do i have to send in? Is it like those giftcard offers one where i just print it out and fill out my address and send it back? Its a prize well over 600$ so do i need a w-9? Also if i put lie about my age and put born in 1986 (im really 1988) can i get away with getting my prize? I dont want to go through all that trouble just to get screwed over on it because of my age.
I also am exempt from paying taxes on it since i do work but make under 7k a yr so thats good. I wanted to know if i could still fill out a w-9 if i need to for this site since im 17 and actually get my prize without my parents having to fill out anything because they are not entitled to a tax exempt.
Gigante
28-12-2005 13:16:59
Once you complete your offers, they will say APPROVED with a link. You click the link and print out the certificates and mail them in. You will have one for each offer. They don't require W-9 forms, so your age really doesn't matter.
Admin
28-12-2005 13:20:41
In the interest of completeness, here's a couple things
1) "6-8 weeks" is actually a 45 day timer on their side. Each "In Progress" offer will go "Approved" 45 days later. AFAIK they wait 45 days to send gifts as well - we'll see when I get my TV/$2500 in a few more weeks.
2) Their system doesn't send any emails. You need this link in order to generate fulfillment certificates for each offer
http//www.everyfreegift.com/order.jsp?tid=xxxx&email=yyyy
The tid field is sort of your offer completion ID - you can grab it out of the "approved" link. Email is obvious. You've gotta visit that link for each of the offers.

[quotea4a15a1410]Offers will say pending once they are clicked on, and In Progress once they have been credited, but they will not be finalized until they say APPROVED, which will be 45 days after the initial completion.[/quotea4a15a1410]
Alright, so I just did all 8 offers for the Powerbook on Bigwin. They all say pending right now. So when you get credited it says, "In Progress" right? What do they do to finalize? When they all say "In Progress" does that then change it to "APPROVED" on my status?
I'm a little confused.
Gigante
28-12-2005 14:37:06
Yeah, after exactly 45 days it will change to APPROVED. This is just a stall tactic. In Progress means they are golden.
J4320
28-12-2005 15:15:40
Alrighty then. So I have to wait 45 days for all of my offers to finally be approved? ?
So when I've got the offer completed and it says, "In Progress" could I cancel any offers that are gonna end up charging me a lot of money? I'm legitamately interested in a lot of the offers, but some of them are too hard to hold on to if you know what I mean.

You can't ask for it, and it is about 50% of the time.
where does it state for EFG that you do not have to do 1 offer on 1st page 2 on 2nd and 3 on 3rd? Instead you can do all 6 on page 1?

Why would they tell you this on their website? They often have the same offers on earlier pages on later pages. If you want I can go find many examples. They do not differentiate between them. You notice on your reporting of completions there is no differentiation? MetaReward has them all seperated. You can also call them to confirm that this is the case. Doing your own DD is definitely recommended.

yea i signed up about two months ago and i forgot then i registered again yesterday but i forgot too bookmark and i am aboot to register today.

well they do say to do this many offers on this page....
it doesnt say in their TOS, does this work with ALL YFdirect sites such as bigwin internetopiniongroup marketsurveygroup? So i can make 15 grand in 1 day doing the same offers on each website over and over on page one since they all have the same offers on page one.

My beloved Gigante....I do trust what you say but a quick questino for ya!!
This is an excerpt from the TOS on a EveryFreeGift.com laptop pop-up that i found....
[ic3fde77517]2. You must complete the product offers exactly as indicated on each page. For this promotion, Toshiba vs. Gateway, you must complete a total of 10 offers. Be sure to read the directions on each page and follow them precisely. You will be directed as to when you must complete any offer to earn a gift.
[bc3fde77517]For example, the site may say that offers must be completed as follows "Page 1 - Complete any two (2) offers below to get your gift; Page 2 - complete any two (2) offers below to get your gift". Therefore, if you complete 4 offers from page 1, instead of 2 from each page, you have not correctly completed the program and are not entitled to a gift. If you have any questions, please contact us.[/bc3fde77517][/ic3fde77517]

say it goes 2 weeks and I am 5/6 in progress, would you recommend me doing another offer or just waiting the 45 days and request manual credit
since you have to wait 45 days after you do your last offer does that mean if there was a problem giving me manual credit on my last offer I would have to do another and wait another 45 days?

you can do each YFDirect site once, which means you just cannot get another gift from everyfreegift, but other sites are open

if one of your offers hasn't gone in progress yet email them with a copy of the confirmation email you got when you did the offer. I just finished Big Win and I'm waiting for the gift and I just finished EFG. I've called them 6 or 7 times on stuff and every time they were like hu, I'm not sure why that didn't happen, but they're super nice about it.

I did the Netmarket one and it says 'In Progress'.
This is the first time I have ever done this and I did two sites. Internetopiniongroup and everyfreegift. 5/6 of the Internetopiniongroup are 'In Progress', I did them Thursday. The only one not 'In Progress' is the Cooking Society one. I don't think I got an email from them either, but I did get access to their website.
I like to cook, so I am hoping that I get the DvDs on cooking.
I got an email from Netmarket today telling me to fill out something so I can get my free MP3 player from them. Filled it out and it said it would be here in 4 to 6 weeks.
I would like to take this time to say thanks to the forum members for all of the helpful posts that I have read. I am a bit skeptical at all of this, but thought I would try it anyway. The funny thing is that I am actually interested in the offers that I picked, at least for a trial run.

whats the link for the 42" plasma?

I had the @home, 24 Protect, etc ones go 'In Progress' today.
That means I have 5 of 6 In Progress for the 42" Plasma. Once the last one goes In Progress I should be good to go and just have to wait correct?
I also had my last one from InternetOpinionGroup go In Progress, so again it is just a wait.

You can get manual credit for that 6th offer. I did Offergift.com and AOL was pending for like 3 months. So I finally emailed them and they said with proof I did the offer they would give me credit for it. They gave me instant credit and I generated my certificates that day. So if you did that 6th offer and it is pending or in progress after 45 days them email or call them and get your credit. I am working on the 42" plasma tv with everyfreegift.com now. Can't wait.

They really are an awesome site. I started EG on 1/3/05 for the 42" Plasma and all 6 offers are already in progress. Then I called them today to get clarification about the trial offer issue everyone is talking about. The rep I talked to went through each offer I did and read the pop up message they created and verified that you do not have to stay on past the trial period on sites like Simply You and Home Rewards to get credit. She said if you show "In Progress" then you are ok. Now if you are still pending on day 7 she of course recommended staying a member ubtil you are in progress. Good things to know! I also pointed out that the Real Rhapsody offer specified staying on past the trial as a paying member and they agreed it was not the same with the others. Take it and run.

Sometimes offers do not credit.
Sometimes the pixel does not pop.
Sometimes the cookie is blocked.
Sometimes they feel you aren't a unique user, or are frauding them (prepaid credit card).
Netmarket / Complete Home are having troubles with their pixels popping, and are imported campaigns. They should have a 2-3 day delay.
This what you should go by If you use a pre-paid credit card (epasporte, simon gift card, etc), you should not expect credit. Companies are able to tell what you are using and are starting to stop giving credit when you use them.

This is the second time you've posted soemthing like that schricther, and I'll ahve to disagree again. I'm part of many affiliate programs and have heard of nothing like that. Also, I've done many offers with pre-paid cards.
Sometimes you can tell what bank issued a card by looking at the first 4 digits of the number, but other than that, I don't really think there's a way for them to tell outside of them charging an authorization charge that's higher than the amount they show you.

I've been working with affiliate programs for years, and for the past 7 months with FusionCash. I've been to an affiliate conference, and am very close with my affiliate managers. FusionCash even has it's own CPA program.
Now, let me tell you exactly how most offers track
When you visit the affiliate link, you are assigned a unique id, which is stored in a cookie by your browser. You are then redirected to the advertiser's website. The advertiser has placed what's called a pixel (An image which really opens up to a script back on the affiliate network's servers) on the page they want the action to be completed on, in most cases, the confirmation page.
When you visit the confirmation page, the pixel is loaded (also called popped) and your browser opens a script on the advertiser's server. This script looks for the cookie you have, and reads the information from it, then the sale is tracked to the affiliate (YFDirect, etc) and eventually credited on the website.
Companies are definitely able to tell if you are using a prepaid card or not, there are certain card ranges which are assigned to the prepaid card companies, and are freely available to merchants. How does Best Buy know that you were paying with an Amex gift card and can show you the remaining balance? They're told by the card processor.
Companies also will have parts of their scripts coded to check for unique orders -- they could have a script which checks for orders from the same IP address already, and if it finds one, not pop the pixel. Or the cookie could be corrupted, not set, or expire before the offer is completed. There are many reasons the offers will not go through, and when you use prepaid credit cards, repeat offers, and start cancelling right away, you lessen your chance of it crediting.

There are times the pixel just doesn't pop; the server could have been slow, or down, or just skipped somewhere. Most campaigns are imported as well as the pixel, so in 3-5 days it should go through. If not, it looks like there was a tracking error somewhere.

All 4 of my offer on InternetOpinionGroup has gone "In Progress", so I should have credit for them around the second week of February. Going for the PS3 on that site. Figured since it wasn't coming out until Spring it would be worth the wait.

You guys have no faith in YFdirect. They will give you the benefit of the doubt, I've gotten manual credit 3 times, and it went through quickly and easily every time. Their Customer Service rocks, they will usually do manual credit in less than 24 hours, depending on if you email or fax the required stuff (confirmation emails and copies of charges on your CC statement).

I'm getting back into the swing of free stuff after a 18 month break. And I'm keeping up on all these DIY sites before I decide to do one myself.
I can't remember what site it was, but it basically said if you do MORE offers, you violate the TOS because they specifically say 1 from page 1, 2 from page 2 etc.
I'd rather spend the extra money (Oh noes. another $20 for something worth 50x that) and do 2 on page 1, 3 on page 2, 4 on page 3....
Is YFD like this. Or can I go ahead when I sign up for my sony and just do as many as I can so in 45 days I don't have to deal with being 1 or 2 short.

They aren't going to deniy manual credit, all they do for manual credit is have you send in a thing showing you completed it, and they change it to complete, they don't usually have the money from the site you signed up, but you have proven to them that you signed up on the date it says, i'm not sure if they ever do get the money for offers you file manual credit, but they aren't going to say they don't believe you unless something much deeper happens, which would only happen if you were trying to screw them in the first place...

I did EveryFreeGift on January 8, 2006 for the HP Pavilion ze4910us 15" Notebook PC (Intel Celeron M Processor 330 (Centrino), 512 MB RAM, 60 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD-RW Drive), which retailed about $2000-2200 on Google's Froogle and Amazon...
Offers
1. Homeworks Plus (aka $25 lowes gift card) -- 2-day credit ("In Progress")
2. Simply You (aka $25 Linen n' Things gift card) -- 2-day credit ("In Progress")
3. Ultima Weight Lose Patch -- 1-day/24-hour credit ("In Progress")
4. ExciteMaxx Sexual Enhancement (not like i need it at 20..lol) -- 1-day/24-hour credit ("In Progress")
5. Shopper Discounts and Rewards - waiting for credit (waiting for "In Progress")
6. YourMusic.com - 1-day/24-hour credit ("In Progress")
I am only waiting on "Shopper Discounts and Rewards" and I'm hoping be Tuesday it will be "In Progress"!!!
I completed all six offers at the same time that I signed up. I did use a VISA Gift Card, and it has not effected my offer crediting, except for possibly "S.D. & R."
I was wondering if what EveryFreeGift's Phone Number was, I've been told its 1-801-316-0555, which is suposibly in Salt Lake, Utah, which doesn't make sense since the company is based out of California...
Does anyone have this number or a different one?
Questions

1. Email them, they respond pretty fast
2. No idea
3. No idea
4. I was told no a bunch of times to change to the plasma but they did allow me to change from a normal HDTV to an HD-Ready LCD. Not sure if I just got lucky or what but I had to do an extra offer.
5. The plasma is what they should go for because if the plasma isn't in stock, they send a $2500 check...

Woot, 6th offer of the 8 I did credited.
Man, I'm so impatient. If an offer doesn't credit in a day, I do more.
Once I get my first $1,000 check, I'm sure I'll have the patience for the slower offers to credit. )

Questions
1. What EFG's phone number? This is posted on here somewhere since it is the same on all YFDirect sites. Don't know it off hand.[/color4f3bbb910d]
2. What's the average credit time for Shopper Discounts and Rewards?
It actually took the longest to credit of my offers, taking about 8 days I think to go In Progress. It is still in Progress while my others are Approved, heh.[/color4f3bbb910d]
3. How long did it take for your trail of "ExciteMaxx" to arrive and did you need to sign for the package?
Takes a while, probably a week or so, and don't know what u mean sign up for the package?[/color4f3bbb910d]
4. Can I change my gift?
Yes, but you have to do an extra offer that lists the other gift, and then you just cross out the gift listed on the other vouchers and write in whatever the one offer voucher says for your new gift.[/color4f3bbb910d]
5. What is the highest priced item on EFG, so i can tell my friends if I tell them about the site?
The Plasma TV = $2500 check if they give that, the tv isn't actually worth that much though.

Once your status goes to "in progress" that means it is approved, they use the 45 days as a stall period, hoping you forget about the site... if it doesn't change to approved you just call them, and they will approve it and send the links )

19-01-2006 14:08:49
I have a couple questions after sifting through all these threads.
1. waiting period is 45 days for automatic credit then another 45 days to be shipped. Buf if you do manual credit then the first 45 days is negated and you only have the 45 days wait to be shipped. Correct?
2. All I need to do is 6 offers on the first page. They will not disqualify you? Isn't that going against their tos because the tos states you need to do the offers correctly? Can they actually know that you did all your offers from page 1 and not the 3 offers from page 3? This is what confuses me the most.
thanks guys
Eric
ffactoryxx
19-01-2006 14:12:51
1. No. You do 6 offers and must wait 45days no matter what. What they mean is that if on the 45th day say on 5/6 were in progress and you get manually credited, you dont have to wait an additional 45days from the time they manually credit until that offer goes approved. They approve it on the spot. It then take another 45 days after they get your vouchers to get the item
2. Yes you can do any 6 offers. There have been countless people that said you can do whatever you want

so from a fast scan of the first and last page this site seems like it would be worth a try considering its really cheap. one quick question, can you do all 6 offers say within a week and wait 45 days for them all to be approved at the same time? so you can get your gift as soon as 90 days after starting the site?
Airkat
20-01-2006 22:19:15
That/s the idea. You should do offers as soon as possible as they expire...
skillet2003
20-01-2006 22:20:22

Airkat
20-01-2006 22:25:10
If you dont redeem within a certain period (60 daysw I think) you're completed offers go to expired.
As far as prices, im sure its been discussed at length, but just browse the site. off hand I'd say the visa gift card or the plasma

I ask because I remember reading someone had sent in their vouchers and then one day they check the site and they had expired and he called and the got him on the shipping list. I guess after 2 months you know if they ever got your vouchers (I make PDFs of all the vouchers in case something crappy happens)...

Sorry if this has already been asked but I looked through the FAQ and through the first 2 pages of this long thread. I am about to start everyfreegift since it is recommended and this is my first DIY.
1) I have done some of those offers already from freepay, trainn, and OC sites, can I not do them again for everyfreegift?
2) When I went to everyfreegift I didn't see this plasma everyone is talking about. I searched "plasma" in the search field and up came "Sony Plasma TV" is this the one?
3) The plasma TV is really only 6 offers?
+Karma for the page by the way. I hope this isn't too painful!
Wolfeman
25-01-2006 12:17:36
1) Depends on the offer. Some allow you to do them again if its been over a certain ammount of time.
2) Yeah its the Plasma "TV" although some people have been gettin Plasma monitors. Check the other thread for more on this.
3) Yes 6 offers but a long wait. After the offers go "In Progress" its 45 days until "Approved" and you can print and send in your vouchers. After they get them its another 6-8 weeks to get shipped. Great deal if you don't mind the wait...

The thing is, the first one will expire before the 45 days has passed for the last one.

Do you know how many people lurk here and at scam.com, and probably other sites that have posted the plasma site? I dont even want to estimate, but I imagine they have had a LOT of people sign up for it, we'll see though..

Okay, I'm not sure what I want to get from the EFG site right now, but I'm trying to get the 42" Sony Plasma from MSG since it only has 6 reqs. These sites are all run by the same company right?
The only thing I wish they had on the complete list site is the current reqs. for IOG & MSG sites.
The real trick right now is getting these sites done while doing RewardsVenue, those group 3 offers are awful. Not even OC can compete with these kinds of OODs. If anyone knows any other reliable $2k sites, then plz let me know.

Yes, the EFG plasma is 6 offers, Why would you want the plasma instead of a 2500 check? You can buy a much better plasma for 2500, so if I get a plasma instead of a check, i'll make you a deal, i'll sell it to ya for 2400!

Sorry, also meant to ask this. I just wanted to know if anyone could give me an estimate about a plan I have.
How long would it take to get the MSG Sony Plasma site completed if I did all 6 offers within the next 3-5 days?
Since these offers tend to be resonably priced, I thought it might be possible to try to complete about 1 site per week or something like that. Especially, since I only have about 5-6 months left before I have to move out of my apartment and I would like to get as many of these done as possible before that time. So, let me know if this plan may work or not. Thanks.

don't be suprised if people get angry since you asked the question or anything, but it will take you 45 days after you complete the initial offer, then another 45 days after you send out your vouchers. maybe a few more, i would say 13-14 weeks from now. good luck.

Wolfeman
28-01-2006 00:05:02
Good luck. The reason they go slow is because they want people to forget about it. Most people after 6 weeks would just forget and you only have a small window to print out your certs. If you want a fast site, do a Nuitech site but Tier 3 are expensive...
Johnston
28-01-2006 00:10:18
Can't really do expensive, but with all YFDirect has to offer, and the cost of offers on the sites, I think I can work out an effective strategy. I plan on trying to complete at most 1 site per week for the next few months. That way I should have a lot of cool stuff to play with when it comes time for me to move out of my apartment. I've already got my 4 sites planned for February, though I may add one more since i just finsihed this one. I just wish I knew how many reqs there were for the different IOG sites.
Eric P
28-01-2006 01:01:52
what is this window that you speak of? Does that mean you have to do all the offers at once so they all credit at the same time? For instance at bigwin I did 4 offers in 1 week then 6 in another week.

Anyone here know if using Visa/MasterCard/American Express gift cards is okay with these sites instead of standard CC/ChC cards?

this is the type of stuff i am trying to prevent, but i guess there are risks in everything, i just have to find out what kind of protection my bank offers.

I've used a visa GC before, I had no problems. I don't intend to scam companies, I just like to cover my ass, and I have 4 cards I use (two from nuitech). I have yet to mess up an offer, but if someone like Leanlife decided not to answer my emails or calls, I don't plan on letting them scam me. Anyway, as far as I know, Visa GC's work.

Yeah, the reason I was asking was because the Kroger grocery store that I work at now sells MasterCard and American Express GiftCards and I was considering buying one for the purpose we've been talking about.
I had actually considered getting a AE GC for my brother for Christmas, but apparently he loathes them. Most of the offer sites should accept MC or AE GCs right? Hope my acronyms don't confuse too many people )

The information in the beginning of this thread is wrong. You WILL NEED your email to get to order.jsp. The transaction_id is NOT the same as the tid and therefore you can't just construct the URL yourself.

wait so i must get the confirmation email inorder to order....hmm sorry about that... in order to get a gift? i can't just type in that url and manually activate my account?
editli on another note after further reading i think your talking about something else, but in any case how do you get these "fullfillment tickets" without getting an email or do they automatically send them to you?
ilanbg
30-01-2006 12:03:17
Kat, can you be more specific? There are a few places where people need to manually insert URLs, so I dunno what you're talking about. shrug
I know this has been asked before but I can't find the answer How does one go about getting the confirmation emails for the offers if they're not getting sent? Do I need to call them?
Airkat
30-01-2006 12:08:47
I sent in a support ticket to get the emails resent. They never sent the first time. If you have spam, look for "support" as the sender. Gigante's was support_tier1@EFG mine was Support IOG, so it varies.
You can call or write a support ticket.
What I was saying is that there is information at the beginning of the thread about grabbing the tid from the approve link to print your certs. Atleast on IOG there IS NO tid in the approve URL. It's transaction_id and it ISNT the same as your tid. You'll need to get the email anyway u slice it.
In summary You cant just grab the transaction_id from your approve link to print certificates. You'll need to send in a ticket or call them to get the correct urls. (this was on IOG)

I just got done looking at the offers but I don't know if my plan will work. I already found 6 offers I want to do but they are all on the first page. I read that it doesn't matter how many you complete for each page but I just want to check to see if doing all 6 on one page will mess anything up because then I would have to divide it up or something.

sweet - finally went "in progress" today on YourMusic after 10 days. That makes me 6/6. I wonder though if it actually hurts me in the sense that I will have to wait an extra 10 days now for that to go complete. Does the 45 day period begin when the last offer goes "in progress," or will I have to print out the other 5 certs and then wait 10 days for the 6th? I'm sure this question has been answered elsewhere, but the purpose of the post wasn't to ask the question.

they didn't specify which speakers. she said 2-4 weeks to receive them.
also, i looked up that tuner and its NOT hdtv... meaning you can plug in a regular antenna or standard cable and it'll tune it, but it'll be standard def (although "upconverted" to EDTV).
hopefully they'll give me that tuner, otherwise i'll just buy an old cable box or vcr at a thrift store and use that for tv until we get a house next year. hopefully then we'll get digi cable.
she said the 'product department' was 'looking in' to getting the tuner.
i'm actually expecting the speakers sooner than 2-4 weeks... they seem to exaggerate the wait times (for obvious reasons).

Depending on how much money you have and all, you could do something similar to what I am doing. I'm working on a strategy where I complete all the offers for 1 site in 1 week. For example, the MSG Plasma site everyone has been talking about, I signed up and took about an hour to choose and sign up for 6 different offers from the lists. I write them down as I do them and when I do them, so I know how long I have to test them out.
Now I just have to wait for my next paycheck and I will begin working on the $1000 Visa Card, probably followed by BowFlex, and then the Wal-Mart card. These are just the ones for February. Unfortunately, I only have about 3 months worth of DIY time before I have to stop, since I kind of need to be around when the stuff ships and I have to leave at the end of July.
Since the offers aren't that expensive, this strategy isn't costly, as long as you can manage the price of the offers and make sure to keep up with the deadlines.

This might seem have been answered already but has anyone tried calling YFDirect and requesting that they receive a check in lieu of receiving their gift? A lot of people are crossing their fingers for a check but I haven't seen if anyone actually called and inquired if they could get a check instead.
ilanbg
01-02-2006 17:59:05
I've requested a check from IRC and they denied it; I imagine it'd be the same for this as well.

01-02-2006 21:08:13
Yeah theres 94 in stock. Someone on scam.com called up them and asked about it, I guess they are working on a solution to the whole monitor with no speakers or tuner issue, so maybe they will switch to another model. Who knows.

$2300 is a ridiculous price for that item. Like Gigante has been been saying, the only people they are screwing over is their customer. I mean, I think you can get the commerical Panasonic monitor that is HD for under $2000. I'll take that any day over the ED Sony. Alternatively, the Panasonic 42" ED retail plasma (speakers) is $1999 at Circuit City
http//www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Panasonic-42-Plasma-EDTV-TH-42PD50U-/sem/rpsm/oid/118479/catOid/-12869/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do
I actually bought the 42" Panasonic HD plasma from Circuit City a few months back (the retail one w/ speakers), and that was under $3000 (see below)
http//www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Panasonic-42-Plasma-HDTV-TH-42PX50U-/sem/rpsm/oid/119981/catOid/-12869/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do
I just can't believe that the Sony ED monitor retails for that much. Has anyone actually pointed out to YF specific alternatives that are available to them?
igneous
01-02-2006 22:42:21
I'm well aware. I wish we could change it. I think yfdirect likes to stick to the product that they have on the website, but I would be so much more happy with a panasonic plasma, even if it was ed, over the sony. I already own that second panasonic hd plasma that you have linked and its an amazing tv.

I quit complaining. Because bigwin has a very nice plasma and the sony will work well as a HUGE gaming monitor which is just awesome. just my 2 cents

Now, if, in about 45 days, my remaining offers that I did perform correctly are still pending, how difficult would it be to get them manually credited and would I have to wait an additional 45 days to do so?

Wow, congrats! I can't wait until mine comes through.
Hey, I was just wondering, but does anyone know if I can try to "negotiate" with YFDirect about a gift? The reason why I am asking is because OfferCentric has redone their Desktop and Laptop sites with entry, mid, and high end choices and the high end options have really good AlienWare Units. I would love to get my hands on both, but I have pretty much sworn off OC after all I have heard, but I was wondering if anyone here know if I could try to do a laptop site for YFDirect and see if they might consider changing it to the same model, or if there are any legit DIY sites out there for AlienWare desktops and laptops. Let me know if you can and thanks.

[quote0a6b7dec51]If your offer does not show IN PROGRESS but you know you completed it, you can request manual credit after 45 days.

Well, someone on scam.com got their plasma today, but it was an LG edtv plasma. Here is the model they got
http//www.drplasma.com/itemdesc.asp?CartId=5724931PBH-EVEREST-ZE459&ic=42PX3DCV
The only thing I can think of is that they shipped these LG's before they changed to panasonic, because a lot of people have been told that they would be getting panasonic plasmas. The LG still has a lot of features, but the panasonics are usually the best.

Hello all,
Congrats. on your TV. I can't wait to see how it looks.
I know that this is a recurring question, but I was wondering something about crediting times. I glimpsed over the sticky that Gigante had posted about the companies and it said that the crediting was normally within a few days time and that it took the company 2 months to complete the shipping portion of the site. Well, I am just wondering about this because my offers are still stuck in either pending or in process status and have been that way for almost 2 weeks. It's about to be a month since I did all 6 offers and I just wanted to see if I needed to start contacting the company about my offer credits and whether or not I should be getting ready to do manual credit. I'm sorry if I annoy everyone with this question, but it's almost 2 am here and I have to get ready for a long day tomorrow.
Also, Gigante, I was wanting to ask you a few things about the stuff in your sig that you got from YFDirect. Should I just PM you with those questions? Please let me know. In the meantime, good night all and enjoy your plasma TVs (or dreams of them anyway). )
Don't contact them till it's been 45+ days.

I believe you cannot. Only one gift per household per site, as listed in the ToS (I believe).

Well, I just sent in my vouchers for MSG on 2/15 and was received 2/17 from Massachusetts. Seeing as EFG and MSG are yfDirect sites, I assume all vouchers go to the same address for processing. Can anybody confirm that?

I'd wait and do the manual credit as long as you have a confirmation email or a charge shown on your credit card statement. No need to waste an offer that you can do on another site. They are pretty good (and quick) in manually crediting you as long as you have something to show you signed up for the offer.

so to get the manual credit I wait 45 days..then request a credit with proof I tried the offer? After this I get a voucher, mail it, the wait 6-8 weeks to recieve my gift?

Instead of 1 from the first page, 2 from the second, and 3 from the third, it is now 2 offers from each of the three pages. That is still 6 offers for me. I am going for the Sony Vaio laptop.

Hopefully it does mean we are locked in. If I don't hear back from CS soon, I am gonna call and find out for sure. I am probably gonna have to get manual credit for 3 of my offers so I hope that doesn't knock me out of it...

They are really loosing a lot of money bec of the organized members that are completeing thier sites. So they are most likely going to stall untill week 10 from now bec I just turned in my voucher like a week ago.
So by that time the price of the plasma prob will go down by $500 so its not that much of a risk.

they started offering 1k checks last week to at least certain members. It's a win/win for some people. like, if you were going to just sell it anyways (let's say for $1500-1700) it limightli be worth it to just say F it and take 1k tax free and not have to bother with selling it and you'd get the check much faster. I'm goign to wait and take the plasma...but that's cause I want a plasma )

ps THANK GOD! I only did GC and MSG and just double checked to make sure I didn't do any of the same offers. a) I didn't and b) I'm still a member of a couple of them. So I lishouldli be getting my gifts from them without any issue. Sorry to those who got F'ed over like woah.

I think abusers are people that had like 4 plasmas coming or did the same 3 offers on like 4 sites. No one here has gotten the email (that I know of) so hopefully its just for people that were really abusing the system.
Does anyone know if their status on the site changing once they were DQ'd? If people do get the email, it might end up in the junk filter and never even know they are DQ'd...

Yeah if I was offered that $1000 check I would take it...need the cash. I wouldn't be able to sell the plasma for more than that on ebay anyway with my low (relative) rating (<50). I am also moving to a new apartment in a few months where the plasma just isn't very practical.

But isn't it kind of shady, signing up for multiple sites under the the same company and repeating offers? I'm confused. Are you signing up for the offers all at once so that you have multiple accounts/trials existing at the same time or are you waiting a few months/years before signing up for the same offer again?

umm yes you should worry if you did an offer more than once, the people who claim to have been DQ'ed were passed the approved state had sent in their vouchers and were just waiting for shipment or "shipped" status, being approved means nothing! Thy will make you wait months and then tell you, you aren't getting anything.

People aren't saying you won't get DQ'd once you get to approved or even send in certs, but they are saying you won't be DQ'd for not following the pages correctly... if they go to in progress then you have nothing to worry about for following the pages correctly, just if you have done multiple offers on different sites...

I just talked to YFDirect on the phone. My 45th day for my offers was last week, and some were still showing pending. Anyway, I didn't broach the subject, and the support person said nothing to me about DQ country.
If they were being sticklers, I'm sure they could get me. I'm certainly not one of the "abusers" though.
for what it's worth...

I don't think I've abused the system either. I've only done 1 YFDirect site so I hope they don't find a reason to dq me. I remember back in the day when IDeal Direct did something similar to me and it kept me away from DIYs for a very long time.

Ideal was a true DIY website with no time limit nor referral requirements about 2 years ago. That was before a lot of people started completing the website and as a result they decided to change their terms and randomly dq a butt load of people for silly reasons. I mean, the started making random phone calls to make sure contact information was correct among other crazy things.

To those that are whining about the YFD dq'ing issue.
li&#@ing relax! No need to post on this thread that you AREN'T abusing the system. Like any of us has any power over whether or not you get DQed.
No need to call and ask if they are starting to DQ people. What kind of answer do you expect? "Yes, we are starting to lose some money so we pick email addresses out of a hat and disqualify them." I mean seriously. If you broke the terms, you may get DQed. If you didnt, you wont. If you didnt break the terms, AND get DQ'ed, YFD is probably willing to hear out your story [ ... and the best of luck to you Gigante with clearing things up].
Anyway, no need to post/complain about the issue unless you have a legitimate and useful update as in
(a) You got DQed (just a statement, not a complaint)
(b) You got taken OFF disqualification.
Sorry mods for stepping on your toes here and trying to simmer things down. It was sickening me. (almost as badly as that 40+ page waste of a thread over at the freepay board about their new policy).

My theory is the TV will be availabe in less than 4 weeks and be shipping... they tell you 4, 6, 8, 10, or even 12 weeks because they want you to take the 1K check... that is liek 500-1000 more in their pocket, they want everyone to take the check, but when they realize some of us are in it for the plasma they will start shipping... only time will tell, hopefully its not really 12 weeks, but i'll wait as long as it takes D

[quote18b4af1991="tjwor"]My theory is the TV will be availabe in less than 4 weeks and be shipping... they tell you 4, 6, 8, 10, or even 12 weeks because they want you to take the 1K check... that is liek 500-1000 more in their pocket, they want everyone to take the check, but when they realize some of us are in it for the plasma they will start shipping... only time will tell, hopefully its not really 12 weeks, but i'll wait as long as it takes D[/quote18b4af1991]
It would only make sense. Most plasmas are not in short supply, so there really is no reason that it would take 10 weeks to get them.

The DQ thing is a made up crap.
They are most likely going to wait the whole 12 weeks bec by then the price of plasmas will be much cheaper than now.

Agreed. I believe they will wait the whole 12 weeks.
Why wouldn't they? Selling it won't do much either, you may get another $200 or so.

Okay, I have 2 questions then.
1. Is the plasma TV from EFG the same one that was formerly offered on MSG (now it is a RAZR)? I heard some ppl mention an LG TV, but the MSG TV is a Sony isn't it?
2. Since everybody seems to be pleased about clearing up one issue with YFD, can someone answer what I believe to be a very important new issue. This has actually been the most discussed question on the YFD question topic, but no one seems to be able to give a definite answer, so I thought I would ask here. Here is the question
CAN I STILL DO OFFERS FROM ANY PAGE AS LONG AS I MEET THE TOTAL REQUIRED OFFERS FOR THE SITE?
I would especially appreciate it if Gigante could respond to this since he is so very helpful and seems to know a lot more than most of us about this company. I got REALLY stressed over this earlier today when I heard about it because I was really hoping/wanting/needing to get some stuff from these sites and was even hoping to get an e-business started with some stuff from them, but if I can't do it like we used to, then I'm screwed and highly, highly tempted to do something very stupid.
Thanks for your help.

I'm no Gigante, but i'll try )
1. The TV is the same from EFG and MSG, you can take a 1K check option or wait it out for the plasma (somewhere between 2 and 12 weeks), Of course to be able to do this you must have already completed an offer torwards the plasma, or you will get a razor (
2. You can no longer do them on any page, YFD has just become much more strict about it and that is no longer allowed. Unless you can get approved for several CC's YFD is out now (. YFD realized they needed to raise requirements and start enforcing the page #'s to make back the money they lost or will be losing soon to us who completed for 20 bucks or so, and they got much less than if we had done the expensive last page offers.
I'm sure this isn't what you wanted to hear, due to the no more any page rule, but I hope it answered your questions )

okay, thank you very much.
i am trying not to vent here right now, since it would most definitely get me kicked from this forum
my only hope is that this will change or a more plausible method will be developed, something that can work out for both
i hope that something is in the works, but for now i will force myself to focus on my homework that is due tomorrow and not the rather painful sensation of everything going to waste
sorry to be an annoyance, ill just go now

Quick question. Do you know if it would be possible to offer an alternative option to YFD regarding their group 3 offers. I have an idea that coukd work and would allow them to make money and allow us to get what we want, but without any OODS. And I don't know if any of you look at it this way, but CC offers are the worst kind of OODs in my book, so I reall want to find an alternative.
Also, do I need to worry about my MSG site? Nothing has gone beyond "in process" yet and the 45 day mark should be around the 11th.
Thanks.

On the alternate for the OOD's, probably not, but doesn't hurt to try when calling about your certs.
Call on your 45th day and ask them if they can switch your offers to approved and send you the voucher links, you will have an email within about 5 min, click, print, send, wait )

08-03-2006 06:28:29
Okay thanks.
My only real problem with the change is the requirement of CC Offers, which now ruin YFDs credibility and, in my opinion, gives me absolutley no reason or ability to complete another one. I know most ppl wouldn't but I would actually be okay if they simple increased the number of offers, perhaps with some that are a bit more expensive, like Interland, but ones that most ppl can actually do.
I have absolutely no idea what my credit is, if I even have any, and I know people who would like to do these sites but have terrible credit. How are we supposed to revile in the spoils like all the other people with full time jobs and excellent credit? All I want is for YFD to remove the CC offers and replace them with just more affordable offers for those of us who don't work 7 days a week.
I don't think it could be that hard, I mean the Train Network has tons of offers that can be completed and I plan on doing all their sites as point based and most of their offers are reasonable and can be completed. Can't YFD implement something similar? Maybe not the huge selection that Trainn does, but perhaps adding a larger variety in addition to increasing requirements a bit?
The reason I am asking is because from the discussion about the DQ'ing, it sounded like Gigante actually MET with representatives of YFD and I thought that might mean that we could actually give them some kind of alternative, perhaps even a petition, and encourage them to really consider it.
It is worth a shot isn't it? I mean now that they have implemented the new group policy, how many of us can actually do another one of these sites? Perhaps we should take a poll of that as well to show how many customers they will end up loosing this way.
Let me know what you think of this idea, I really hope this can work. The only other options I can think of are boycotting them or telling everyone possible that YFD is completely scamming ppl. Not sure what you think about that, but when they tell you that you can get free stuff from their site, then stick 3 CC offers on you that many ppl can't do, it does end up being a scam. But the company sounds kind of reasonable, so we might be able to avoid boycotting or anything else.
I await your input. Thank you.

They aren't going to change anything for a group of people who knows the system. When they have to send out a gift, they [bc4d7c8fb26]lose[/bc4d7c8fb26] money, so if they find out that we aren't goin to complete their sites now, that is great for them, that means 95% or more of the people who sigh up and start offers aren't going to want to do the last page, that should be their goal.
If I was them I would have chaged it right now too, when I start getting YFD gifts, people will ask me what site it came from, i'll tell them, they will probably go start the site, being a high schooler, they can't get 2 CC's approved, so there would be next to no way to finish the site, that means YFD profits for every offer they completed...
The less people from forums like this that complete the site the less money worth of gifts they send out and the more money they are making.
We've had our fun and it is comming to an end, Nui-Tech is the only site left, and that is only if you had signed up in advance, or find a really special thing... The DIY freebie world will not be around for long... It will be around but not to our likeing, the freebier will not be able to complete the sites anymore, so the DIY sites will be 100% Profit, (like the site that the last page costs over 2K, i'm pretty sure no one has completed it, so they are working off of 100% profit all of the time, never sending out a gift...)

Aww... sounds like somebody actually has to work to get the things he wants. This was a dream deal to begin with and now the dream is dying. It was bound to dry up eventually. You should have been around earlier before everything got too tough. I only managed to get one site done less than a week before they changed the rules. But I am not crying about how I can't get thousands of dollars in prizes for putting in 10 minutes of work. Maybe one day you will get out of high school and see how lucky we were to even have the chance at this stuff. That is, once you get out and see what working is really like.

Reasons why I consider you the most annoying person in the DIY forum
1) You are complaining about YFD's new policy on MULTIPLE THREADS. Hearing it once is more than enough.
2) You went against the advice of many moderators/users here by wanting to sign up for a site a week. (whereby the advice is, see a deal and SIGN UP immediately before its too late).
3) You planned your life around a constantly changing and often shady network (by network I mean all of freebie sites in general). These are incentive sites for prizes, not a first source of income.
4) You claim YFD is 'impossible'. Its not, they just changed their terms. So you'll have to pay $200 rather than $20 to get that plasma, and maybe wait a few extra weeks. So what.
All in all, keep your hopelessness, freakouts, and whining to yourself. Others here are too busy giving real updates and trying to find new networks to hear it.

Looks like you were planning on signing up for these sites multile times and you cant do that anymore. Just bec they are protecting their business doesnt mean you can bash them. If you are having trouble completing the CC offers, call them up and nicely ask them what can be done. They might be able to help you out.

I called today regarding my Plasma Status and was offered and accepted the $1000. I think this is a great ploy on their part and in all actuality works out best for both sides. While you may still get a Plasma if you hold out, I think the risk of not getting anything is far greater than your possible rewards. Good luck to everyone.

Okay, thank you. I don't know what you mean by signing up multiple times. I only had a list of individual sites that I wanted to do, such as the washer/dryer, refrigerator, bowflex, etc. I can do each individual site once correct?
About the plasmas, does anyone know if they are doing the same for the MSG site? Mine should be credited by the middle of next week. How long will it take them if I choose the Plasma instead of the $1k check? I recently bought a Plasma mount that I found on clearance, so should I take the check or stick with the TV?

How long? Your guess is as good as mine
Should you stick w/ the TV? How the hell should we know? Do you want a TV or a check, what is it worth to you if you'd have to wait 3 months for a TV, is it worth $500-1000 less payment value?

I recently bought a Plasma mount that I found on clearance, so should I take the check or stick with the TV?[/quoted03f943d36]
How long? Your guess is as good as mine
Should you stick w/ the TV? How the hell should we know? Do you want a TV or a check, what is it worth to you if you'd have to wait 3 months for a TV, is it worth $500-1000 less payment value?
If I was God, i would have given you the exact answeres, but sadly, i'm not ([/quoted03f943d36]
The LG isnt worth THAT much

LG? The site says its a Sony TV or is that only for MSG?
Anyone know where to go to get a good plasma for $1k? Since I have to wait for the possibility of the sites to change, then I will probably want to get a plasma TV out of this, just don't know that much about em. Thanks.

[be8db09d946]DO SOME RESEARCH![/be8db09d946] Like google or BensBargains. This is a DIY site, not an electronics review site. Notice how all talk about Plasmas here have been on what type they are sending out, or comparisons between the two that they were sending out in the past.
Hell, you have a good 3 months to do some research and find the right one anyway if you just finished recently.

I got offered the $1k on efg today.....damnit I don't know what to do. I "should" be getting a plasma from consumersavingcenter, I was one of the first here to complete that site. I also did msg, so basically its either take the $2k now, or wait and MAYBE earn $3k if I am able to sell two panasonic plasmas, which in itself will be a pain in the ass due to shiping...
Wolfeman
09-03-2006 13:26:10
I wouldn't take $1000, its not even close to the amount of the TV they are shipping. If they offered $1500, I'd take it. I think the plasma I'll keep is from CSC but I'm worried about I-deal ?

I called EFG today to make sure they got my certificates and they said they received them on March 1st. The CS rep offered the $1000 and said there is an "indefinite wait" on the Plasmas and that it would take "many, many, many weeks". He said many 3 times. I politely rejected the money and told him I would wait for the Plasma.

As others know, I am taking the check. So this info is very helpful to me, as I am sending my certs in tomorrow or Monday for EFG....meaning I can probably call up by next friday and get offered that check, making it a REAL quick turnaround for some cash from YFD )

BTW, I got called and was offered the 1k on the first day they were doing it, which also happened to be my "ship date". I said no, and my rep offered to send me an open box LG instead, I told him I would think about it, but I never got back to him. I got an email on weds that I was shipped, and I would be delivered in 7-10 days. I called the distributor, and they said it was the LG, but it was not an open box. Anyways, somehow I have a feeling that it is the open box that I was offered, or maybe I just got lucky because I was probably one of the people on the top pf the ship list. Either way, I'll keep you updated when I receive it sometime later this week.

I'm glad I called their bluff on the TV vs. Check, I had a message on my cell phone after track practice saying they had my TV in wichita and wanted to set up a delivery date. I called and they said they could do it any time this week at either 10-1 or 4-7. It will be here between 4 and 7 tomorrow night. I asked the lady if she knew what brand it said on the box and she told me "it says it is 42 inch by... well it doesn't even say what it is by, it just says 42 inch Plasma" I'm guessing it is the LG and that is fine with me, as long as it has speakers and is a TV not a monitor, i will be very happy )

They got my certs in early January, I was past my 45 day mark by a few weeks, and they called me on Monday the 6th? I think that is a monday, or whatever monday is around the 6th and offered the $1000. I told them i would like to wait for the plasma and they said it would be a long wait, probably at least 8-12 weeks... will be here tonight between 4 and 7 says the shipping company D

Who Delivered- I don't know, I wasn'at home, my brother took was here to take it...
Certs- No Confirmation, and it showed shipped monday, that was the first time I had seen it, so it could have been like thursday at the earliest. I called on monday to see if it had really been shipped, because I was told it would take 8-12 weeks, they said yes, you should expect it within 1-2 weeks, It was here 2 days later )
I'll talk to my brother and try to find out who shipped it, it came from Tech Depot...

Because today one of them went approved and I can click it (all the others are still 'in progress').. but i don't know if i want too or not unless all my offers go to approved.

they should all turn to links about 45 days after you did them..
if they dont you need to call for manual credit then it turns approved whenever they get proof that you did it
sometimes clicking the links does nothing so you might have to call anyway and they'll send you new links via email

If you completed your offers 45 days ago you should be okay. If you completed some and are trying to do more now, you need to complete by the standards.

They are only using logic!
They know that now the offers pages only have credit card offer for the last two pages, so i you don't have any credit card offers completed, they will notice! Where as "45 days" ago, the offers on the last pages include non-credit card offers that could be found on the first page as well!
My point is that they still can not tell if you clicked on a offer on page one or two, but they can tell if you done the offers on the last page, since they are all now credit card offers!

All of mine went from pending to in progress within about a week, but if they are still pending after two weeks, just wait until 45-days after you completed them, call Yf Direct at 1-801-316-0555 and they will give you you vouchers and a manual credit for any of them that were pending, after sending them your confirmation emails for those offers....you might also need the credit card statements...

I think we have the right to start complaining after 6 weeks, since that is what is outlined on their site!
And its complete BS that they don't know what replacement TV they are sending out and when they will know a God Dang thing!
If we can figure out what TV they are shipping thanks to the TFIG members, so can they!
If you have been waiting more then 4-6 weeks, I would give them a nice little call, and tell them that its false advertising, and that you know they are lying to you, call all their bluffs!

Here's an update on my end
I called today to check up on my certs that arrived on 3/15..I went for the plasma. They put me on hold for a few minutes and came back to me saying Plasmas are out of stock and they will offer me a $1k check. I happily accept.
I am told to wait for an email to confirm shipping address.
I receive an email 2 hours later from someone from Netblue (sister/daughter site of YFD possibly?) requesting me to confirm that I do want the check and to confirm the shipping address.
They also request that I submit a W9 before they send the check out for tax reasons. The thing is, I already sent out a W9...with the certificates, as they requested earlier. The ship to address is the same PO Box, just addressed to Netblue now rather than EFG. So I emailed the person back along with emailed EFG stating a W9 has been sent already and that it should not be needed again...but that was after hours so now I wait until the AM.
I do hope that they don't just have my first W9 just floating around the office somewhere with all my critically personal information on it. ) I also hope I don't have to wait another week for ANOTHER W9 to process before check is sent out. Heh.
Anyone else hit this hurdle yet? And for those who took the check, how ong from when you took the offer till check was at your door?

Bonsai the evidence will be when they e-mail you holding up your order because they don't have your W-9, they need your W-9 form reguardless of the value of the gift. I mailed in MarketSurveyGroup vouchers before the W-9 thing took effect and about 3 weeks later, I recieved an e-mail that said this
Please be advised that we are required by law to notify the IRS regarding your gift. You will be required to submit a W9 form to us as part of the gift fulfillment process regardless of the value of the gift award. Please complete and sign your W9 form and return it to us as soon as possible so we can fulfill your gift within 6 to 8 weeks. Refer to www.irs.gov for any questions you have on the W9 requirements.

Well I got an email back from NetBlue.
They said they did in fact receive my W9 with my certificates and that the check will be sent in 5-7 days.
I was told this
[quoteaa4cd1a28f]We are now required to request a W9 whenever we’re confirming a gift.[/quoteaa4cd1a28f]
..which means...if you are getting an item shipped soon, and it has to be confirmed prior to shipping...they WILL request a W9.
So I recommend contacting YFD if you are close to shipping date and ask if it is needed, try and ship out the W9 before you get delayed another 3 weeks...just my opinion though.

Hopefully, I just sent in my certs and w-9 for bigwin using my moms info because I'm not 18 yet. I'm wondering if I should have just risked it with my name since I doubt they check social security number anyway. I think they just send it off to the IRS.

All they do it send a copy of the w-9 form to the IRS, they don't even check the info, so you could have used your info, but now the IRS will be going after you and your mom....time to move to canada, you mom's going to prison!

Quick Q about the w-9 form. When and why do you have to send in the form. Those forms have sensitive info like your SSN. My mom works for the IRS and she said she didn't understand why they needed this form from me.

You send it in when you pay your taxes. And yeah, they do require your social security number. They need it so they don't have to pay all of the taxes on the stuff.
I'm pretty sure that's right, correct me if I'm wrong.
PsychoAU
27-03-2006 07:10:10
Yeah, they need the SSN so they can report to the government that they paid you that amount (or equivalent value). That way, if you don't report it, the feds have a record that you received the goods. And by putting the tax burden on you, the company takes it off of them so they don't have to pay taxes on the stuff they give out.
Pretty simple concept. I don't see the point of everyone freaking out about giving the SSN on a tax form. Why would anyone want the identity of some 16 year old? You can't even get any credit cards with that identity...

Your mom works for the IRS and she doesn't know why a W9 is needed?
Any gift or accumulation of gifts valued at over $600 from a single source is taxable. They need a W9 to know where to 1099 you next year at tax time. You don't send a W9 to the IRS. It's the document the vendor uses to generate your 1099-MISC form, much like an employer uses your W4 to determine tax withholding and to generate a W2. You get the 1099 in the mail just like you get a W2, or a 1099-INT for bank interest, etc.
The 1099 amount is considered income. You are responsible for the taxes. If you put it in your mom's name, then she will almost surely have a slightly heavier tax burden now, whereas if you put it in yours then if you have no regular income it would most likely have been tax free. Unless of course you're a minor... in which case you should have never done this site anyway because that's a ToS violation.
SSN's are required on any official tax or government paperwork, not to mention any financial institution transactions like loans and account openings. Your SSN is floating around in more places than you can probably imagine. While you should take reasonable steps to prevent it being flagrantly disseminated, you shouldn't be so paranoid as to be afraid of using it where it is called for.

My $1000 check came in the mail today from Netblue for EFG Plasma offer. Gift was requested 3/21 or 3/22, shipped 3/23. Arrived today 3/31. So 9-10 day turnaround time from when it was requested to when it arrived.
Here's the interesting part. The check is dated 3/20, 1 to 2 days before I even requested the check! Wonder why they did that...

Been 2 weeks for me on TWO offers (only need 1 to complete though)...still no response yet (

So I just signed up for this site and have done three offers 1 on the first page, and 2 on the second (ebay and two kids' books offers, respectively). Now, on the third page, there are only credit card offers. Am I just stuck getting one of these credit cards? Do I have to get two, or three? Can I cancel these cards after I get them? Will they affect my credit negatively assuming I only sign up for them for this site, and then cancel/destroy them? I'm not planning on using them or anything (or even getting them at all if thats possible wink ). There are pages past the credit card offers, which still say that I have to complete two offers off of each page...I only need six right? ? Please help me out if you get an opportunity.

The offer numbers and requirements are always changing so first thing you should do in the future is check each page to see whats there. You are pretty much SOL with the CC offers. If you sign up for too many CCs it can hurt you score.
Last thing is we don't talk about offers here. Its considered walking someone through and against the rules...

What do you mean check each page? I still can't find a page on the site that has the requirements for getting the Card. The only thing that I can see that is close to that is the first page of this post, which was made sometime ago, so I assume it's out of date. Everytime I go back to the Offers page, it still says "do one of these, go to next page," when I've already completed one of those earlier. I know it takes time to get credit and all, but I'm still wondering if I'm going to have to sign up for any CCs or if I can just go to the next page and do 3 offers from there...is that walking me through? I'm just worried I won't be able to get the Card. (
EDIT I went back to the site, and still no offical "reqs" page, none that I can find anyway. However I kept clicking through to the next offer pages, and it went up to page six...does that mean I have to do 10+ offers? How would that even work? Wouldn't I eventually run out of things to do?

They changed their requirements about a month ago. Their TOS now says that some items can take up to 22 offers. So it depends on what gift you are trying to get. You should have looked at each page's requirement to see how many offers you would have to do on each page and if they were possible. These days you are not gonna be able to complete the site unless you sign up for credit cards. And just signing up for too many cards can affect your credit score even if you never use them. It all depends on if the prize is worth it to you. good luck.

Well see, that's the thing. I keep going back to their page and it doesn't say requirements for any of the prizes. That's why I'm so confused. Where exactly should I be looking?

You look at each offer page and see how many each page requires. Page one needs two, page two needs three, etc. You go through each page and add them up. That is the amount you need to do for that prize. When I did mine back in Feb, it was two per page for three pages, so I did 6 offers. But all that is different now. You won't know the requirements unless you sign up and look at each offer page.
But it sounds like you should go back to Freepay and get out of the DIY game if you are not up for it...

Are you only looking for a DIY? cuz i mean personally i think the best place for a macbook is macs.free4me.net.
3 offers, (2 easy, 1 OOD).
I know 11 refs sounds hard, but you just pay 50 bux a ref...and you've got a macbook for a quarter of the retail price and you still havn't hurt your credit score wink
but you can do whatever you want. you don't have to that particular site, i was just giving you some opions.

Sony Vaios are very nice and I would consider them but the prices are way too high.

I just called them the other day over the MSG plasma. At the 45 day mark, only four had been credited, so I got in touch with them on the phone and sent them the info. So far, only 1 of those two have been credited and I spoke with them about the only one left. They told me they are waiting on the company to contact them for confirmation.

Question about EFG
I completed 6 offers, and two of them did not go in progress. I figured that in 45 days I can request manual credit since I have the confirmation emails. So 45 days passed I was approved for the other 4 offers, and for those two I sent in a support ticket asking for manual credit, and I provided them with all the info they could possible need. It's only been one week, but I have not received any response from YFD that they even got my support ticket, let alone are in the process of getting me manual credit. So I guess my question is do I need to call them or submit another support ticket asking if they got my first support ticket? Should I be patient with them and wait 2 more weeks to see if I do get credit?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't find information for one of the 2 offers I did at a YFDirect site and I need information for both to approve these 2 offers.
Anyone got any ideas?

Jusrt curious guys,
I am requesting a manual credit. I was told it usually takes 3 weeks for the certificate to come through. This is the last cert. I need. What happens if it does not credit by week 3, which is only days away?

I am having the same problem receiving manual credit for Netmarket. Week 3 of my wait concluded yesterday, so I decided to give them a call. I was told by the customer service rep that they haven't heard anything yet. They told me to call back in an additional 1-2 weeks, and they would request verification yet again from the sponsor. evil I'm beginning to wonder if the problem is really with Netmarket, or if this is just a stall tactic on YFD's part--this was my first time signing up for this offer, so if anyone has had a different experience with receiving credit, please let me know. My 3 week wait for manual credit for another offer through IOG will be up on Thursday, and I have yet to receive credit for that one either, which is a completely different sponsor.
I'm trying to be patient, since YFD has been a pleasure to deal with in the past, but this is really disturbing.

Hence the reason why I (and probably many others) tend to do a few extra offers every site if crediting background is unknown.
An extra $5-$10 doesn't hurt..especially if it saves me 45 days.

I emailed customer support with this question, and yes, we will have to wait an additional 45 days for that offer to be approved. The reason I didn't do an extra offer to begin with is because I wanted to follow the page format exactly and not repeat any offers, just in case they tried to screw with me. Heh, obviously that didn't do any good.
On the bright side (or not so bright side, depending on how you see things), a whole lot of people appear to be having the same problem that we are, so maybe they will work something out with us. I really wanted that 1K for my vacation, but oh well. Maybe we'll get it in time for Christmas shopping. P

I wanted it for the same reason. I called yesterday and was informed the same....She did say the only way my netmarket would not be credited would be if I did not complete the site through EFG.com....which I did and the proof is that the click was logged. I hope they are understanding . They see I have a legit account and clicked the offer from there site. Netmarket is screwing everybody...

I'm having the same problem with Netmarket as everyone else. I just got off the phone with customer service at EFG and the very very nice lady I spoke with told me that when they started this new process a few months back, they we told that it would absolutely take no longer than 3 weeks but almost all of them are taking more than 3 weeks. I actually have three of my six not crediting -- Netmarket, CompleteHome, and Today's Escapes. Hmmm...

I'm having problems with manual credit on gadgetcity.com (also YFD)... It's been 6 weeks since I submitted my manual credit, and basically what I am told is that there is no workaround, if the company never replies to their request, you can't get credit. After 4 weeks, YF will resubmit the claim and then see what happens... real shitty. I went ahead and completed another offer today since 45 days might be less than the time it takes to get manual credit
coolbreeze06
02-05-2006 15:47:59
yup..I called...The lady said now you wait 4 weeks then they resubmit your manual credit to wait another 4 weeks. My new plan is to just do another offer now. I have already waited 30 days for my manual to go through. by the time they request confirmation and wait again it would have been well past 45 days!
My only prob is when I go to the offers page no offers show up. any one else having this problem?....is this even a good idea?

You were probably one of the early takers of their deal. I'm aware of others that waited as long as I did to get the plasma replacement check. Seems like the first few who accepted the offer go theirs pretty quickly. Lately, it's been 4-5 weeks after you request it.

dropitlikeitshizzot
05-05-2006 20:53:36
What I'm thinking is that they write and send all of their checks for a certain period on a certain day. I must have requested the check a day or two after that day, because, like I said, I had to wait almost a month.
The others who waited as long as me got their checks within a day or two of mine, so we must have all been in the same boat. For the people who got them so quickly, they must have been lucky to have requested them so close to that designated shipping day.
that's my theory anyway...

That is what it looks like. I called last week to get a status update and they said they had nothing for me. I am getting pretty tired of waiting for this plasma. I opted for the check for the MSG plasma and it came in 5 days. I am beyond 12 weeks waiting for this plasma and I am moving in a couple months. They got my Certs on 2/6!!!!! I really hope this thing shows up before I have to move. Worst part is that I already have a plasma that is better than the LG one, so I will most likely end up selling it anyway.

As you all know Netmarket sucks about crediting on EFG sites. I called CS to inquire if my 2nd manual had been approved by netmarket. She said "No, netmarket is slow, as in they are not responding back to our tickets sent." She later told me that a Letter was sent from EFG corporate to NM corporate 6/5 to put major pressure on them. They want THEIR money just like we want OUR gifts! Hopefully this will get the ball movin'!

Here's what's been going on with my manual credit problems--something sounds fishy over there...
I called last week for an update on my credit request, and the guy told me that the person who handles manual credits is on vacation, but that he would email him personally about my issue (I think I've heard that one before roll ). He told me to call back again on the 13th, which was today, and luckily I got the same guy again. He told me that the customer service reps are now forwarding manual credit requests to the headquarters in Mountain View, CA, and that the boss over there has contacted Triligent (the parent company for Netmarket, Healthsaver, etc) by phone, and that it should take approx. 48 hours for me to receive credit. I'll let everyone know what happens 2 days from now.

question i emailed em and they said they are having delays in processing/shipping my gift ($1k visa card) but it would ship asap
i'm into about the 7th-8th week of being confirmed and wondering how much longer i have to wait or if i should be worried because i've never done this site before so just wondering what's the usual timespan to ship

Check this BS out...I sent them an email for voucher email and they replied with this
Hello,
In order to receive the free gift, you must complete 12 offers through EveryFreeGift.com.
Im going to complain and say when I signed up it was six. Anyone else having this problem?

I guess that email was a scare email because I called them up today and they were happy to send me the email for the voucher forms. Also i found out sending email through their contact us / help section is automated. I got the exact same email twice (identical) after sending in two different questions. Make sure you call if you want customer support.

You know what sucks!!!
NETMARKET+EFG!!!
I did another offer 45 days ago since netmarket is not crediting EFG. I have been 5/6 for four months. Today I called after patiently waiting all this time and the rep told me that the new offer i did 45 days ago would not be valid!! 45 days ago CS told me it was fine to do that.
The whole problem lies in that my certs are supposedly expired (that have been approved for over 60 days) Ofcourse thay are expired! I have been waiting over 90 days for Netmarket to credit!
Last time (30 days ago) CS told me that "our managers are calling them so it should be credited in 2 -3 days". Guess what, he told me the same thing this time, probably thinking that would make me feel better, only this time he said call back in 2 weeks our managers are talking to them.
This is CRAZY...I know that they dont want to give money away, but this sure works in thier favor, not mine. They got the referal money from the other 6 offers I completed, I only wish they would give me the gift I feel I am entitled to.

Update in i guess 2 weeks, anyone else facing same problem or been credited yet?

So I called up EFG today to inquire as to my gift status since it has been 8 weeks since I mailed them my certificates, and my gift has not been shipped. Apparently they never received my certificates even though the USPS and delivery confirmation showed that it was delivered on May 4. I've now got to remail off new certificates and then wait the full 6-8 weeks.
So moral of the story
If you have mailed your certificates off recently call and make sure that they have received them or else you will have to go through and wait through the process another 6-8 weeks.

Instead of reading all 27 pages of this thread, could someone tell me if this site is still a good one to do?
I was thinking about doing the $1000 Visa Gift Card. Wouldnt that be the best (most expensive) one to do?
I haven't been in the 'free' scene for a while. I backed out after I got my ipod and psp. This would be my first DIY site. Is this one a good one to start out on?

hey, my friend had the same problem, ask yfdirect to report the problem to their manager, or whatever they call him. YfDirect's support group told my friend that's what they were doing, and he got credit after a few days wink

You know... they pulled the same stuff with me... They said they hadn't received my certs yet and I had to mail them... this was after 12 weeks though... knowing the problems. Now... 6-8 weeks of waiting... though I know they have them now and I have the email confirming this time.
Pay attention to the moral... always get Email confirmation from an actual person.

Not what you think..I called back and the woman said I could use the 7th offer I did for my 6 credit. Another battle won but the war is still not over , now I wait "6-8 weeks" for the gift to come.

The same thing is happening with my account. Funny thing is the $1000 card I got from IOG went shipped at the same time and came a week ago. I called about it yesterday and they said it has to be 4 weeks before they will reissue a shipping request and to call back in another 1 1/2 weeks if i dont have it.

I'm having the same issues as everyone else (I've been waiting for Netmarket to credit for 3.5 months and they keep telling me to wait a few more weeks).
About the expired certs, though -- for what it's worth -- when I called last time and expressed my concern about my certs expiring I was told that once I get my last cert all I have to do is write "Sponsor Confirmation" next to the expiration date. We'll see. . .

Same here. All my offer information is gone. I noticed they have a new site template... maybe it messed it up. Someone should give them a call and see what happened. I will call on Monday if no one else does by then.

I finally got my plasma! ) It's awesome. They've been trying to send me a check for 1000 bucks for a couple months, but I chose to wait and I'm glad I did. It's a 42" Panasonic EDTV Plasma, a Viera or something. It's sick...I can't believe this thing was free. I wish the freebie game was still as easy now as it was back in February. I could have gotten the tv as early as last Thursday, but I couldn't arrange to be home to receive it, so I got it yesterday. )

Nope, had to turn in a W9. At the time I started, I didn't think I'd have to...but they made me by the time it came time to submit the certs. Yeah, 6 months is a long time, but it's worth it...
