Even if the level 3 offers cost $300 each, it's still a good deal.

As long as they aren't credit card offers, then I'd be happy.

Anyone signed up know what the offers are?

ilanbg

06-02-2006 15:55:44

Also, how do they have an iMac listed the same as an iPod?

kevxross

06-02-2006 15:58:01

Yeah, they're the typical OOD, but not too bad. Southbeach, credit cards, Earthlink, ancestry, longevity, orexis, etc.

I might do this one, but it would suck if they don't come through because of the OOD... I do like how they don't try to hide their contact info though. We'll see.

ilanbg

double_d

06-02-2006 16:05:33

I would make sure I did all of my offers in one visit. I was going back and forth between the pages of offers and different ones started disappearing. I would only get 2 offers on page 2 and only 3 offers on page 3. Be careful!

Site does look very easy to complete when all of the offers are available.

Free iMac G5 2GHz Intel Core Duo Instructions!

1. You are now being sent to our sponsor offer Serenity. To qualify and get your FREE iMac G5 2GHz Intel Core Duo, you must fully and successfully complete this sponsor offer. Please SAVE the confirmation email you receive from PollPrizeUSA -- you might need it later on while we wait for this sponsor to report back to PollPrizeUSA so we can send you your FREE iMac G5 2GHz Intel Core Duo.
2. At any time, you may visit http//www.pollprizeusa.com/status and log into your Gift Status page to see the sponsor offer(s) you have completed or revisit more sponsor offers you need to complete. Write this down right now http//www.pollprizeusa.com/status
You will not have to take the entire survey again -- you will go straight to the Sponsor Offer selection page to complete more sponsor offers just like Serenity.

You need to successfully complete 4 offer(s) to qualify.

I agree, and they have their phone number posted everywhere, very visible. I had to email support because my browser crashed and I can't get back into my account. The email form is very professional and I recieved a reply stating they had recieved my issue. As well as an initial confirmation email (linudgeli YFD). Hopefully all the CS isn't just a comfort factor before they pull one on us.

Also the turnaround they state is very nice. Man this is the best DIY ever if we hit payday.

As far as I know you don't have to send in certificates. I am signed up on this company on their brandarama page and when all 4 of my offers credited all I had to do was confirm my shipping address and was told I would get the gift in 30 days via certified mail that would have to be signed for.

Page 1) $7.95
Page 2) $0.00
Page 3) $9.95 (Earthlink) + $20.00 (South Beach well $65.00, but $20.00 after refund).

Okay let's see how long it takes to get my mac duo )

Guys, I've just received a bunch of emails saying "thanks" for signing up from other sites. One of them said that they got my info from PollPrizeUSA. I don't remember if the company that sent the email is from the so called "optional" survey that had all my info automatically populated. I skipped all of them through the "skip this ad" link and I even selected "No" for the other ads. I tried clicking the "Opt out of third party emails" from the customer status page but it doesn't do anything. At least I'm only signed up for mailing lists as PollPrizeUSA didn't have my CC and SS numbers so I'm fine with the extra spam.

One of the companies was Lexington something having to do with credit checks.

Anyway, I guess I'm asking if you guys know if they are coming from the survey or 3rd party partners?

im not inclined to agree with that for 2 reasons.
1) after i clicked on tickle iq, i refreshed my status page and it said reports in 1 business day. after completing it, i refreshed and it was completed
2) the bottom of the status page says
"Did you complete a Sponsor Offer and the reporting period has passed? Click the Contact Us button above and send an inquiry to the Sponsor Offer Resolution Dept. We will resolve your claim with our sponsor--usually within 14 days." So it sounds like if it says it'll report in 1 business day and it doesn't, the report period has passed and we can put in a support ticket that should usually get answered in 14 days.

and yep, i got a ton and a half of spam today, beyond the usual amount. im still 2 for 4

I unchecked the boxes. I don't mind the spam since I signed up under a special for DIY only email address. I just don't like spam that says that I signed up intentionally or that I allowed them to spam me.

Anyway, I got credited instantly for 2 offers. I did see where it says that I can contact them if I don't get reported within the report time. It just says differently in the FAQ. You guys will probably contact them before me anyway if you all aren't credited within a 24 hour period since you all signed up and completed this before I did.

The spam would be all worth it if this thing pans out. If not, I just wasted 4 offers that I could've used for some other DIY.

Oh, and here is what the FAQ says


Question

The reporting period has passed and I have already paid for my offers. Why do the offers not state that they are completed?


Answer

The [bdcb7479009]report times listed on your status page [/bdcb7479009]indicate the time in which [bdcb7479009]you[/bdcb7479009] will hear from the sponsor. This is usually in the form of a confirmation or "thank you for applying" email.
[bdcb7479009]The report times for the sponsors to report to us[/bdcb7479009] vary by sponsor but the [bdcb7479009]average reporting period is 5-25 days[/bdcb7479009].
After the sponsors have verified all of your information, it will state "completed" next to all completed offers on your status page. When you have qualified for your gift you will receive an email requesting verification of your shipping address.

Hello Kevin,

As long as you have completed the sponsor offers as stated

all you will have to do is wait for them to verify back to us. That could take up to 30 days.

Narakukuku

08-02-2006 20:12:08

I don't mind long waits as much. For instance sites like Bigwin take 2-4 months. But at least this is stated clearly in the terms.
So let me get this straight
an offer report time simply means time needed to receive the confirmation email. In the case of offers marked as "complete" is it safe to conclude that pollprize has already been notified by the sponsor? Or does that simply mean 30 days after going "complete" they will make up another term that means "this time you're really complete" ?

TeeRatt

09-02-2006 05:11:02

After all your offers are confirmed it will take 30 days for you to get your gift!

After a quick exchange with their Customer Service, they pretty much implied 30 day wait for manual credit. Also, it will take UP TO 30 days to get your gift after you're all credited, and I don't think they have certs to mail in either, just fill out an online form.

Narakukuku

09-02-2006 09:37:22

Well I hope my other offers SouthBeach, and Citi Credit Monitoring, go complete soon. UP TO 30 days is great. That means within 2 weeks or less of confirming your shipping info your imac may ship.
I will add that it wouldn't burt to be a little more patient. Based on some of the responses I've read here and many of the complaints already on the scam.com board, it looks like too many people are up in arms because their offers aren't going complete in 24 hours. I guess if an offer is going instantly complete for everyone else while you've been waiting a whole week it's a bit sensible to contact them. But before calling and pestering pollprize/brandarama about manual credit you should wait at least 2-3 weeks. According to the rules, it will take up to 30 days end of story so I don't know why people are getting so worked up.

hyperboarder

09-02-2006 11:47:10

I'm fine with patience, I was just curious because their TOS is a little unclear on the manual credit issue.

Oh yeah some extra info. (I didn't feel like editing) I also asked the rep how many offers the imac was and she answered four and I replied "thats it" and she said yes. (just to clear any doubts) I really wanted to ask how they hell they can manage that, but I held myself back. She also said to make sure that you do the offers on the correct page. She said that without me asking anything about it so I wouldn't try to get around those OODs on the last page. (refering to the previous post about it). Last thing; she said that the "tech" guys were working on the disappearing offers and everything should be working by tonight. (I don't know how truthful that is bc it seems that only the free/inexpensive offers disappear). The only thing that made my a little suspicious was that she kept referring to their different "departments, like their "shipping" and "gift" and "tech" departments. I can't imagine that this company is large enough where it is that stratified. Sorry for the long posts.

FUCK these people, mine says 12 now too. I called and she started going through these questions to confirm me and then was like OHH I've gotten ahead of myself this prize equires 12 offers. I was like "yeah, but the changed that after I did all of my offers." and then she was like "yeah, I think your right. I'll put that ask about that and your prize request. Give us until Wednesday." I am going to go to fucking 5th ave. and hit somebody in the face if I don't get this computer.

No one has proven anything about anyone getting fucked, and no one forced you to start... its a risk you gotta take to get in early, we may all get it for 4 offers becasue we started early and everyone who didn't get in when we did may have to do 12 to get it wink... its like my friends that wanted to see me get my Ibook from IRC before they started, now they can't get it...[/quote2e156ab1a6]

i think everyone should cross there fingers and hope it all works out

but i have a feeling that since NO ONE was "approved" on ALL 4 offers, the site will have a way out of giving the gift for 4 offers

I just spoke to a represenative. Complete BS. They calimed that it was supposed to be 12 offers from the very beginning, "I'm sorry" she said.
So now for those who have incomplete offers, they will have to sign up for 8 more offers. This was a complete waste of time.

14-02-2006 08:45:30

thats such BS. and i cant even complete 8 more offers if i wanted to, theres only 2 offers on page 2 and 3 on page 3 for me!

They also went ahead and changed the rules. Although the date is May 5th 2005 that's complete rubbish. The just went ahead, changed the rules, and expect people to comply like nothing happened. At least when companies like Nuitech update the number of offers they don't make those who signed up previously suffer because of it. Now they expect us to pay for their mistake.

I JUST talked to a lady. She said the site was released before it was supposed to be and it wasn't finished. She said that she already had a hand full of callers this morning. She said that her phone had issues this morning and that now it's up and running. I told her to expect 30, 40, 50 who knows how many really pissed off people. She said she was going to call the "head office" right after I talked to her. I asked her if it was an option to switch gifts. Not like a want to but she said it was a rule saying you couldn't switched but she said she didn't even know what was going on. She sounded like an old lady, she was super nice so I guess we'll see, but I'm not buying it.

and the reply was
Hello Kimberley,

Upon talking to the Head office, they have informed us, as long as you have completed all 4 offers before February 13th when the offer requirment was changed, they will honor the gift.

Thank you

i'm supposing since my question addressed the fact that 2 of my offers didnt get instant credit, that ill be able to get it for the 4 offers. we shall see...im most interested in seeing if aprout gets his, since all 4 of his were instant and prior to the offer req change

It doesnt cold-hard say it though. I'm waiting on the response to my email. For some reason I think these guys are gonna be slippery fish.

xigxag

14-02-2006 12:33:45

ok, I just talked to Wanda. I addressed my issue that I had comleted only one offer before the change took place. She said that I am the first one she has seen that hadn't completed all 4 who was requesting help. So, she is going to talk to the boss and get back to me via email. crosses fingers

And they aren't talking about the offers going green when they say completed either, just that you did it. So if you did 4 offers before the 13th you are good to go, regardless of the current reporting status.

Another factor adding to my case, is that I couldn't log-in to get back to my offers. I had sent an email from the form on the website requesting they address the issue, but I recieved no response except the auto-send. I eventually figured out that I had mistyped the zipcode when signing up, making me unable to log back in. So, it was my own fault, but they never answered my support ticket, so a week went by without my being able to log-in and complete the rest of the offers.

Lets see what she says.

Darkfire001

14-02-2006 12:37:27

Well i'm hoping/thinking they will honor the people who did all 4-Before the 13th since I doubt its more then a few dozen.

Xiqxaq I wouldn't bet money on them letting you complete just 3 more for it, since it opens the gate for many more people.

I wish she had addressed my account specifically, but looks like it will be ok. Now for my admission I may not have "completed" an offer, but perhaps just clicked on one. Even though when she asked on the phone, I said I had done it. Jeeze, how far can I blur this line. The thing is, they don't know I didn't complete it. But perhaps they will see when it gets reported. So now do I risk doing the offers and not getting anything?

well, that's the thing. They can see that I clicked on Longevity on Feb 6. That is interesting they gave the exact reply minus the 4. I'm guessing it works the same as YF, where each click gives a new offer on your status. Hmmmm tough decision. I'm guess I'll try the click now.

Hello Chris,

Who knows at this point. If they're intending to go for the $150, if enough members call it may cause them to reconsider. They're trying to BS us. If they can give out an ipod worth $300+ for 4 offers then why should we only get $150. For many it cost over $150 to complete their offers but they went so fas as to spend that money because they believed they were getting an IMAC.
The rep claimed they were collecting names and email addresses and would send out letters accordingly.

icojones

16-02-2006 11:19:55

if they are giving out video ipods for four offers, I think that is the minimum I will accept, with $500 being my target fair amount. They are giving a $500 gap gift card for the same four offers. I'll take that.

Actually, I think a lot of people should roll over and take the $150 (just make sure you've got some KY), because the more people that do that, the more willing they will likely be to go higher for the people who rightfully complain.

Your Message I signed up for your IMac site of 2-6-06, completed the four offers required to recieve the gift, now I notice that the requirements have increased and also that the T&C have changed since I signed up. Now my question is since I not only signed up but also completed the correct number of requirements before the changes were made should I still expect to recieve the IMac that was stated in the T&C's?
Thank You

Seriously guys.. it's actually making me cringe reading some of your replies.


--We ALL knew it was a mistake from the jump (no matter what you outwardly say)
--Don't say that you can get x for y at another site. This ISN'T that other site.
--If they are prepared to rectify their mistake by offering compensation that is consistent with their site (i.e. something of value of 4 offers at their site) don't exclaim that you are going to bitch and moan until you get something better.

If a mistake was made and they try to fix it and comprimise and you spit it back in their faces -- what need do they have to work with other people?

It's greed and attitudes like this that will eventually lead to the fall of freebie sites.

kyks17

16-02-2006 15:35:46

the thing is, the compensation they're offering isnt even equal to other of their 4-offer sites. personally if they come through with at least an ipod for me, ill be happy enough. i would much prefer the imac or sumthin of higher value, but ill take the ipod cuz their other site offers it for 4 offers.

a low-ball offer of $150 at first is just ridiculous.

also, has anyone pointed out to them yet that we can't do 12 offers for it even if we wanted to? i dunno bout all of u but i know alot of us dunt even have 12 offers total listed when we login...

i cant believe some of you. a little greedy? "i wont settle for anything less than $500 or an iMac". did you really think 4 offers that cost you next to nothing was going to get you a $1500 computer? You all should have waited till someone got one for 4 offers or emailed the company to make sure its legit.

i personally think that the more you bother and pester this company, the less they are going to want to help you. its their decision to change the terms or even terminate your account at any time. can't change that since you clicked that you agreed to ALL of the terms

Narakukuku

16-02-2006 16:59:53

If they can offer an $299 ipod and $500 itunes GC for 4 offers, I don't think anyone is being greedy by asking for more than $250. They should have offered $300 at least. As is, we've been mislead 3 times. Sometimes companies, like people, just have to pay for their mistakes.

I personally didn't bitch about that. And people at scam got flamed for bitching because it got the plasmas removed. That aside however -- I think the case is different.

Here's another interesting thing on pollprize -- for their IPOD offer, they say $299 value (which implies 30GB), but the IPOD they describe (15k songs, 25k photos, 150 hours of video) is the $399 $60GB model!

Looks like most, if not all, got credited for SouthBeach. Still waiting for Stamps.com to approve.

MiamiTJ, thanks for taking the fight to the man. I will be happy if we can get 1/3 ($500) or the iMac but I'm of the camp to not push it.

i actually emailed them asking about that and this is what they replied with

I am sorry but I cannot answer that question as it does say on the offer page."

[quotee77687c994="phunkstar"]They are not going to give in. These companies are in this business to make money, and that's the bottom line. If they have a legal way to cover their ass (and they do), they are not going to pay for a huge loss.

Consider this. If just 150 people (the number is likely much higher considering all the lurkers here & at Scam.com) completed the 4 offers (before the 13th), that's nearly a quarter-million dollars worth of Imac. You don't honestly think they're going to take that kind of hit are you?

Those of you saying "I will not accept anything less"...short of doing something illegal, how exactly will you force them to cough up an Imac?

Keep it up and they're just going to bail (just like YF decided it was too much trouble dealing with all the plasma whiners and pulled it).[/quotee77687c994]

I want what is owed as well - and I don't think them saying it was put up by accident is a viable excuse. it was there for A WEEK by the time we discovered it to the time they changed the terms. how are their employees not realizing in a WEEK's time that a mistake was made?? they should just own up to it.

with that said, i would rather get an ipod/$500 gift card than nothing.

Hello ,

We have been authorized to offer a $250 Visa gift card in resolution to the mistake that was made.
Please Advise

Thank you

Lets not stall out on this one, fight till the end

This is a response I got from them earlier today

Hello Allen,

The Imac gift offer was released on accident. You will have to complete the 12 sponsor offers in order to qualify for the Imac. The $250 Visa gift card is what we are advised to offer as resolution. The partners believe that is a fair offer.

thank you


They are trying to screw us big time. They had the site up for over a week as 4 offers AND people emailed them to verify that it was 4 offers and they confirmed that it was. Then there was the "offers completed before Feb. 13th" agreement, and they backed out of that too. We somehow have to get Brad Powers involved in this.

i can't wrap my head around the fact that you aren't going to change a thing since you agreed to THEIR TERMS.

take your $250 and be happy you're getting something. at least they didnt cancel your account and tell you to go fuck yourself.

$250 isn't fair at all. The truth is $500 is only fair. Presented with all of this info, I really feel as if the only fair thing to do would be to give us the gift we signed up for. The whole thing is fishy. There goes a classic bait and switch for ya. I'm sure more people signed up for this offer than the others listed. And who wouldn't? They've probably made a butt load of money off of this so-called "mistake."

Sounds like a plan. I will absolutely send something to Brad Powers by the end of the week if we havent heard.


A friend of mine who is an Assistant DA in Staten Island gave me some interesting info on the small claims process. He said that the civil court is so overloaded that they typically have lawyers volunteer to arbitrate most of the cases. You sit down with a lawyer, tell your story and the lawyer makes a binding decision. He does this all the time and when I outlined the story, he said he thinks we would have a pretty good chance at getting the iMac. Said that the e-mails they sent saying that they would honor people who did it before the 13th were they key to winning.

We should DEFINITELY NOT call Brad Powers. We don't want to become a nuisance.

I believe that the best course of action if we do not get any satisfaction this week is to send very polite, matter of fact letters to Brad, with some form of delivery confirmation.

In my letter I will lay out my case and give him a week to respond. I will explain that I will file a small claims court claim if I do not hear from him by the end of the week. I do not think anything else will matter to them -- fact sites dont matter, the BBB is impotent and the advertisers have repeatedly shown that they couldn't care less. A small claims court case will at the very least cost them time and hassle, and given the merits, could cost them $1700. If I take them to court, win, then post that fact on here, how many cases do you think would be filed within days? That would be meaningful to them in a way that they other things can not be.

BTW, Wanda claimed that there were "dozens" of people complaining about this when I pressed her, so I dont buy anyone who says hundreds.

Brutus

27-02-2006 09:21:09

I'm not involved in this, but have some thoughts that may be useful to you.

You are not gaurenteed a win in small claims court. Who sent you the email? The person that sent you the email may not have the ability to make deals for the company. If pressed they can always revert back to their ToS saying that offers may change, etc, in which case you will have to do 12 offers to get something.

Going to the top quickly is going to work against you. If you go up in steps you have a better chance of somebody saying yes along the way. If you go straight to the top and he says "No, now you get nothing", you are at the end.

Try to keep this out of the courts. Some of you have said that you talked to lawyers and they said you have a case. Did you send them a copy of the ToS and did you have the name and position of the person that sent you the email? I think they would have a different take on a court case after they read them.

I wish you all the best, but remember that something is better than nothing and I would hate to see you end up with nothing, because you didn't settle for $250 or $300 or whatever they end up offering.

Brutus -- with all due respect, the terms of service are not the end-all be-all.

A "we can change these terms at any time" clause in a contract is generally 100% worthless and unenforceable. They are there to stop the general public who doesn't know better. And as you've made clear, the general public doesn't know better.

You say we shouldn't go straight to the top like we're dealing with Microsoft and are sending things to Bill Gates. Do you think that this firm has more than 15 employees? By not going to the top, you enable an endless chain of "let me talk to my boss" and "i would love to help you but I am powerless to do anything" responses.

And, if you read any of the posts carefully, you'd realize that the point of filing a court claim is to get them to settle without going through all the trouble.

i vote for just persuing the iMac. If you talk to them and say we'll settle for no less than 500 then they're gonna give you 500. Yeah you're right that something is better than nothing but the point is they made a site for an iMac for 4 offers then they changed it then they sent out emails saying if you completed your offers before a certain date you'd get it. Just my take but miami you're doin a great job! +karma.

Yep, it's cheap to file a suit in small claims court. The hard part is sending out subpoena, getting there, etc, etc. One thing to note is that while they may be found guilty, there is virtually no way to make them pay. It would take years, if ever, to get the money out of them. Whoever mentioned the class action suit may be on the right track. It may cost more, but you may have better results.

Honestly, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about here. What you think and what makes sense to you does not necessarily equate to the truth.

Do you know what a class action suit is? I'll tell you what it isn't -- 25 people looking for $1700 settlements from a company. The lawyer fees would be 200 times a full settlement, so you might have a problem finding an attorney to take the case on.

If there was virtually no way to make a losing defendent pay in small claims court, WHY WOULD THERE BE A SMALL CLAIMS COURT?

Literally every single thing you wrote in that post is wrong. Sending out a subpoena? That's not the plaintiff's responsibility. Getting there? I live 20 minutes away from the Harlem Civil Court.

But thanks for the input.

The hard part is sending out subpoena, getting there, etc, etc. One thing to note is that while they may be found guilty, there is virtually no way to make them pay. It would take years, if ever, to get the money out of them. Whoever mentioned the class action suit may be on the right track. It may cost more, but you may have better results.

Only offering my opinion, not trying to get anyone upset. I want all of you to get the best deal out of this that you can.[/quote2c356e979c]

Honestly, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about here. What you think and what makes sense to you does not necessarily equate to the truth.[/quote2c356e979c]

The problem is that I do know what I am talking about, but you are the type of internet person that has trouble understanding that some people know more than you.

It does take a long time to get paid from a small claims court case, if the defendant wants to drag it out. It can be expensive, up front to do a claim against a corporation with resources.

I'm just offering up information that may be helpful, nothing more. If you don't like don't read the post. I'm saying you won't get anything, or that you don't deserve it, if I start doing that then you should feel free to keep bashing.

MiamiTJ, I did read the NYC instructions. When I say it may take time, and be expensive up front, is due to appeals, vacate from judgement, and the other little things that may make it a claim.

If you know what you are talking about, please explain to me how it is a claimant's responsibility to serve a subpoena?

And please, if you know anything about class action suits, explain to me how this circumstance qualifies as a class action. Generally, a class is not makde of 25 people. It requires a determination that there are too many plaintiffs to possibly try the cases on a on by one basis. I think the US Civil Court system can probably handle 25 cases.

And explain to me how it is economically feasible to have an attorney represent this case, when the entire amount of damages sought is probably no more than $50k.

And arent you the guy who thought we had no case because of their completely unenforceable, legally worthless "We reserve the right to change the terms of this offer at any time" clause?

And maybe I don't know what I am talking about -- but an assistant district attorney who regularly arbitrates cases in the New York Civil Court Small Claims Part probablly does.

Please stop posting in a thread where you are not involved and add less than nothing to the discussion.

A sidebar about different states Be glad this is not in VA. Almost nothing you can do in that state.

Do you know if you have to file in the state where the original company is, or since it was done over the internet, and it took place at the users end in various states, could each person file in their own state? If that was the case could you imagine how quickly they would be willing to cave, due to the expense of sending people to each state to counter the claim?

icojones, here is the answer to your first question http//www.courts.state.ny.us/courts/nyc/smallclaims/subpoenas.shtml

How do you know how many people are involved? You have 25 people here, but what about at A4F or scam.com? What about people that are involved in those sites?

I doubt that you gave your "District Attorney friend" all the info that was needed to give an honest opinion. You probably watered it down. I won't mention what you probably left out, because it would only hurt the case. If you want to know, I'll be glad to PM you.

Stop being so confrontational to somebody that is just offering up information. You should want as much as you can get and not just stick your head in the sand and think everything is going to be cost free and a gaurenteed win.

With all the addresses and company names out there, I tried to get a better handle on which office our good friend Brad actually works at.

First I spoke to Wanda. She wouldnt give me Bob's last name, said that Active Response Group was a website the work with and claimed that she has never heard of anyone named Brad Powers. Hilarious. She also would not give me "bob's" last name, because that would violate his privacy.

After 15 minuted in voicemail hell, I decided to call the Active Response Boulder office, just to make sure they were the same company.

The guy I spoke to there would not confirm or deny anything. He said he couldn't just go out giving contact info about the CEO to anyone who asked. I told him I wasnt trying to call Brad, just send him a letter, but he wouldn't really help me. Like people are gathering outside his office in large numbers trying to get in touch with Brad Powers.

I asked if he thought if I called Microsoft and asked for Bill Gates' business mailing address, would they tell me. I thought yes, and he just laughed.

Kingpin -- that clause in the contract is somehting lawyers like to call "unenforceable". You can put it in a contract and have the contract signed, but it is still meaningless.

It's like those waivers you sign before you do a dangerous activity -- the ones that say you waive the right to sue them. If they are negligent, they can still be sued, because you can never sign away basic rights like the assumption of no negligence.

Think about it this way, if that clause was enforceable, they could never ever ever actual fulfill any offers whatosoever.

Those clauses are put into contracts for the sole reason of scaring people like us from pursuing legal remedies. They don't have legal standing.

He just answered that question. It's to scare most people away from even considering legal action. They can point at it and say "look, you signed this so you can't do jack shit" which people that don't know any better would believe and give up.

If I write up a contract saying I can kill you if you sign it, and you sign it, it doesn't make it legal for me to kill you.

Hello,

In response to my inquiry about the gift status, see what I received today.

"We are not honoring the Imac for only 4 sponsor offers. This was released before the problem was noticed. We are offering a $250 Visa card as restitution for the mistake in exchange for the Imac offer. Or you can complete the 12 sponsor offers that are required for the gift. Please advise."


My doubts are

1. Shouldn't they honor it if it is their mistake?

2. Can this email be considered as a proof for the mistake from their side?

3. Can we use this mail for legal action if needed?

guelah75 - did all of your emails bounce, or just one? For some reason some of the confirmation emails from particular companies will always get bounced. Bargain.com must have some weird stuff in their headers or footers or whothehellknows, but it bounced every time I sent it. You might want to clarify which ones they have AND attached to your file. Sometimes they don't attach all of the ones they receive.

As for what the message means, unfortunately it only means they got (some) of your emails and now you get to wait until their partners get off their rears to check you info and decide whether or not you are worthy. Chances are they won't be doing that any time soon though.

Oops -- this was a mistake -- not about Pollprize. They are not i-deal.


I apologize for cross-posting, but this is pretty important.

It seems like i-deal (who despite appearances IS running this site) has been on a rampage, disqulifying people and stating that they will not give manual credit. This been confirmed from multiple sources.

I really think we should stop doing these sites IMMEDIATELY because it appears that we are only lining their pockets without any hope of getting the gifts.

It has been a long time since anyone on any of the freebie sites has reported getting a meaningful gift from these folks, and as long as we keep referring people who sign up for offers, I don't know why they would start fulfilling gifts.

[quote85e51c8c1d="jaydawg"][quote85e51c8c1d="guelah75"]my email to claims@pollprize bounced as well

so i opened up a support ticket, pasted the confirmation emails inside the ticket and sent them and a note that "claims@pollprize" wasn't working

got a responce that reads


Hello ,

I did receive your confirmation emails. I have attached them to your file and sent them to the claims department to resolve with our partner. Please keep checking your status page. When claims has resolved this with our partner, your gift status will change to "qualified, need confirmation." At that time, you will see a white box that says "confirm." Click on that and go from there. It takes approximately 30 days & will come by certified mail so you will need to sign for it.



Thank-you



not sure what this means....getting a gift.....a giftcard.....a mac.....

who knows[/quote85e51c8c1d]
guelah75 - did all of your emails bounce, or just one? For some reason some of the confirmation emails from particular companies will always get bounced. Bargain.com must have some weird stuff in their headers or footers or whothehellknows, but it bounced every time I sent it. You might want to clarify which ones they have AND attached to your file. Sometimes they don't attach all of the ones they receive.

As for what the message means, unfortunately it only means they got (some) of your emails and now you get to wait until their partners get off their rears to check you info and decide whether or not you are worthy. Chances are they won't be doing that any time soon though.[/quote85e51c8c1d]


true.com and orexsis(sp?) didn't go green so i sent a email= to email=claims@pollprize.comclaims@pollprize.com to email=claims@pollprize.comclaims@pollprize.com/email and the email came back

so instead of screwing around with the "claims" email addy i just opened a support ticket with BOTH confirmation emails IN the TICKET

they replied with the response above

Great letter. One interesting thing to add, by the way, is that you may be able to sue them in Miami. In NY State (not sure about FL), you can sue in the jurisdiction where you live, where the company is located or where the company does business.

Given that they conduct business with you in FL, you may be able to sue them there. Now THAT would be a royal pain in the ass for them.

A bit of advice from a wannabe lawyer -- if you have any intention of filing a small claims case, do not cash the check. It could be considered an implied acceptance of the $250 as full payment on the offer.

He told me they will be mailing me out a check tommorow for $250 -- like it or not. He also said that he will be calling everyone who is completed by monday and letting them know what their amount would be.

I explained to him that $250 was not acceptable to me and I would still be taking them to court. He did not care.

I will be filing a small claims law suit next Friday as promised.[/quoteb9824237cb]

If MiamiTJ did Ancestry, isn't that offer alone $180? So if they are offering TJ only $250, that's practically paying him back for what he spent on the offers.

As stated in the gift rules, in order to qualify for your gift you must complete 12 sponsor offers. Please log into your account status at www.pollprizeusa.com/status, enter you email address and zipcode, you will see a green link, click it. NOTE There are 3 pages of sponsor offers. You must complete the specified number of offers from each page.

I'm going to retract something I said yesterday -- my legal counsel advises me that cashing the check in itself does not harm your case -- just make sure that there is nothing written on the check (or on the back) that states you are accepting this as full settlement. If you see something like that, DONT SIGN! Otherwise, take the dough and file away. <<Of course, laws vary from state to state, so plese dont rely on this advice without consulting an attorney.>>

I'm pretty sure you could file a claim in your home state/county. I think that in most states, you can file a small claims case against any company that does business in that state.

SHouldnt cost more than $25-$30 to file.

I'm in the same boat. It would be easier for me since I am a new york resident. But I cant see myself having enough time to take them to court until this summer. Also, even if I win it's not like there's a guarantee that they will turn the money over in record time. Likely you could end up waiting for months to years. But if others are successful I will consider this option.

Okay I called and spoke with the Women on the PollPrize Line and she was pretty close door about my options. What I gathered was

- $250 or Nothing. They will NOT be honoring the gift or any other portion therof.

- They know people are trying to take them to Small Claims courts, and they told me I could go right ahead, since I have no case?

- Bob will be calling me within 1-2 Business Days he was "Out of the office again". I expect a call by Wednesday at 4PM, if I fail to get a call I will be talking to them again.

- I was told that one reason perhaps that the website was released earlier was a "Spam" Attack that enabled someone to change the offers available on the website. That is inherently impossible, since Spam is entirely different from hacking. More so, I fail to see how a company with an actual dedicated support person, would be unable to catch such a significant flaw and MORE SO how they did offer originally to provide credit to people who completed on our before the flaw was discovered.


I told her I would be fine with comparable restitution (didnt name an amount), but she failed to budge. Understandable since she isn't running the show. I'll have to see how Bob assists.

More so since I really refuse to take $250, with all the "possible" costs I could have incurred $500 seems fair to me, although in the end all of us who completed on time are getting semi-screwed.

Okay, Bob failed to call me, however I called in today and talked with one women who "forwarded" me to her supervisor who told me.

- They will be honoring all participants with AT LEAST $250, however they may now be providing a higher dollar amount on a PER PERSON basis.

- She verified my information and said it would be forwarded to the head office, which will reply in 7-10 days. I will give them until next Thursday at which point I will call again.

It's BULLSHIT if all they are doing is providing restitution for the costs we incurred, since we completed what appeared to be a LEGIT program. Well Bullshit depending on how much the reinbursement is, but I expect at least $420 since that was/is my total liability/expenses.

Well it's mixed, $250.00 is about as low as they could go without raping us up the ass in terms of offers. I think $500 would have been much more to our advantage, but I think if I get in the area of $400+ I will still be satisifed.

What gets me more though is I did some fucking good offers that I know brought in more then $250.00 for sure, IE ShareBuilder & Revival Soy.

Looks like like it really was Interland being slow. I did another offer and within 1 hour it was completed. And also seems like you can do all of the offers from page 1 and 2 and it still works, since i did 2 offers from page to to make it 4 offers. now lets see when My ipod gets here.

is anyone cashing their checks? I'm kind of mad that my check is so small, i spent over a hundred bucks just completeing the site... i'm thinking about just cashing the check and cutting my losses, but i'll be kicking myself if the people who are goin to small claims get $1700... and the letter language makes me think i could get the $1700.. the letter they sent is verry unprofesonal imo

I think the amount depends on how much you spent on offers. I didn't spend that much myself. Under $100 to be more exact.

I think the Check amounts are going to be variable now. Called again and they said I'm on some sort of list to get it, although they keep pulling this delay bullshit. They have NOT sent out the most recent batch of checks, and I was basically told I would have one on or around this date.

If I get in the area of $350 to $450, I think I'll just stop to end this bullshit. And then just move onto small claims & filing with the BBB.

I'm not happy about this iMac thing. I put in around $100 for an iMac, not for a $250 gift card. I would have used these offers for another gift if I knew it was only for $250.

I filed an online complaint with the FTC. This is their response

"Thank you for recent correspondence. The Federal Trade Commission acts in the public interest to stop business practices that violate the laws it enforces. Letters from consumers and businesses are very important to the work of the Commission. They are often the first indication of a problem in the marketplace and may provide the initial evidence to begin an investigation. The Commission does not resolve individual complaints. The Commission can, however, act when it sees a pattern of possible violations developing.

The information you have provided will be recorded in our complaint retention system. This computerized system enables us to identify questionable business practices that are generating numerous complaints and may be in violation of the law.

Thank you for providing information that may be used to develop or support Commission enforcement initiatives."

I'd recommend filing a complaint with the FTC in addition to any lawsuits you're planning on filing. The more complaints the FTC receives, the more willing they'll be to intervene.

I was just curious. TJ and others have said that when you do the small claims that you can also list the cost to you, such as flying out there,etc. I was wondering if they could file a counter-suit saying that it has no merrit, due to the terms listed, or whatever, and that since we have to defend it we would like our representation reimbursed.

i called them today about manual credit and how I've been emailing to the claims address and it keeps getting kicked back. The lady said that they're making up a new email address and to call back at the end of the week for the new address. Who knows if that is really true and how long does it take to get a new email address.

A lady called me today to confirm my shipping address for a check to compensate the imac. They didn't say how much it was for, but said it would be here by the end of the week. Weird thing is, that my status page only shows 3 out of 4 complete. Maybe my manually credit went through, but they didn't update my status yet. Hopefully it'll be for more than $250.

You can not add your costs to fly out to a small claims suit. I guess you can try, but it will make you look foolish.

Sometimes the jusge can award you additional damages, but you have no claim to them as part of your initial filing.

I got the call from them as well. It was listed as Private Name and Private Number. They don't leave messages so I'd advise answering. My status is also 3 out of 4 complete and I requested manual credit for the 4th offer. I was told my check would be $200 which sucks but I don't have the time to fight them for more.

Good luck to those trying for higher compensation!

Hello folks.

I would kindly ask your help because im stuck and dont know what to do.
I signed up with pollprize usa about 2 months ago and completed all the required offers. I signed up with ancestry and longevity. Acnestry for some reason didnt show up after i completed it. I have emailed and called numerous times and they say they have received credit for ancestry but still after 2 months have not applied it to my account. And Longevity I still do not have credit!

I have called and the nice lady Wanda always emails them but the main office never seems to reply back. What do you think I should do in this position? Does the main office have a #?

Thanks!!

so i finally got credit for my 4th offer, having done it the week the site opened originally. i thought it was pretty cool that the same day, CS emailed me (actual email, not just through their helpdesk) asking me to confirm my address so they can send out my $250 compensation. even though it sounds like 2 of u possibly won court cases against them, im happy just to be getting the $250 right now...sure could use it ;)

moral of the story yes they do actually credit months later! ill update when i get the check...

My opinion on this company has changed. They are slow to credit on certain offers. Dont even bother with longevity you will not get credit for it. But everything else credit instantly or within 2 days.

I got offered $250 for my three greens.

This is totally disappointing, but I think I probably broke about even (maybe at a bit of a loss).

But after that I was confirmed the same day so hopefully ill be getting the treo soon. Is there shipping time really 30 days? or can I receive it before that

I'd have considered legal action if my fourth offer credited, but chances are I wouldn't have followed through with it anyway since I'm under 18.

I'm pretty sure I broke even at least, so it wasn't a total waste of time. Just a partial one.

Ya know... I was thinking about bumping this thread... AFTER I got the $600 gift card. You might be referring to the $600 Visa gift card towards the purchase of a PS3? I did it when it was 4 offers and told a few friends about it (3 to be exact) who also decided to do it. One of them got in a little later than us and it was 5 offers. Ironically enough, they have all been been approved before me and have sent their W-9s already ( I'm still waiting on credit for my last offer! Damn. I hear this site takes roughly 3 months to ship, but fuck... if I get a $600 gift card, who gives a damn?! But sorry folks, I checked brandarama.com and the offer is no longer up. They only have 9 sub par offers...

I'm guessing financial reasons since 3 free trials offers gets you $500. Its better waiting 4 or 5 months for $500 that cost you less then $20 then not having it at all.

The longer they wait to send you your gifts, the more cash they have on hand to advertise, put the money in the bank for interest or do other things with to generate more revenue. Also, the gifts they send out might cost a bit less in 4 or more months.

It's also possible they don't have enough cash on hand and have to wait for the affiliate checks to come before using a portion for sending out gifts.

That doesn't really matter. As I learned in accounting , its a trade off of assets versus liabilities and if possible to conserve assets. It is best to conserve assets and delay paying off liabilities as long as possible when there is no penalities in paying late or benifits in paying early. In this case, cash is the asset and having to send out gifts is the liability. They have no penalities in taking 4 months or longer in sending out gifts and they have no benefits in sending out gifts early.

It doesn't matter how much vouchers they get if they only dedicate a portion of their revenue to send out gifts at a first come first serve or whatever basis they use. If they don't have enough cash they could always change the 4 months waiting period to 6 months. lol

They take much longer to send out Visa gift cards then store gift cards. I got my Home Depot gift card already and I was confirmed to ship 3 weeks after my Visa Gift card which I'm still waiting for.

I emailed them about it and they said that their visa vendor only process a limited amount of their order at a time therefore it takes longer to receive visa gift cards compared to other gifts.

Why would you do 5 offers for a frize that less than 500 when you could just 3 offers for an amex card for 500.

Just do the money offers people. if you are going to start of with a brandarama site do the 1,000 4 offer one first then tricle down through the 500 ones there are plnety of woth wil gifts and 5 for brandarama is actually high.

heck you could do 14 offers for 2500 but it would be easier to do 5 3-offer 500 offers give that they would be tiered differently and they have trouble giving crdit sometimes

ghounds07

Seems like a brandarama site and thus you might be able to switch around some offers from page to page (page 4 says do 4 offers, yet there are only 4 offers total on the page, which is weird....probably can sub some offers from page 3).

I added it up and I have 15 offers I can still do, so maybe I can do this site too D

I did think it was funny that my prize confirmation PDF was too big to print properly on one page without being resized.

Oh yea, I have a $1000 Visa gift card that has $251.50 left on it. The ATM's charge $2.00 or $2.50 what do I do with the extra left over? I have tried to use it at the store but it won't work. I guess a bad problem to have huh? Any ideas?
