Can an official I-deal direct thread please be made, as has been done for nuitech and YFD? Since, I and many others here don't do I-deal, I don't like the whole forum clogged up with the assorted IDD sites, just like you guys don't like it clogged with nuitech stuff. Anyways, I still think there should be subforums for the diff. DIY networks, but since that was already shot down, I think this will be the next best thing.

That would make it damn near impossible to keep up with the referral lines on the individual sites. Maybe there should be a true DIY forum and a DIY w/referral forum, which really isn't DIY but you know what I mean.

both posse a good point. There has to be a ideal questions sticky like we have for nuitech and others. But posts for "congas" for ideal sites should still remain in the DIY posts. Unless FIPG makes a DIY section and a DIY conga section, but i highly dout they will make a DIY conga section seeing that congas aren't allowed here normally and congas ruin DIY sites....

I agree that there should be an I-Deal Direct Questions sticky made but disagree that every I-Deal thread should all be merged into one and all future threads be placed into that. It would be far too hectic.

I'll make this the general I-deal questions thread...

freedesktoppc

14-06-2006 06:27:51

I wasn't saying they should be merged, but I still think there should be like an i-deal subforum, or the ideal threads should be limited to the conga, and the discussions should be here.

Hey guys...Quick Q.
I did Yourcoolfree stuff right..
And my 60th day is the 20th.
My referall JUST GREENED this morning D.
But I have no idea what the confirmation email is, and whether its in my spam or not...Can someone tell me what the subject is.
I have 4000+ Spam messaged (.

Also, about how long did it take to recieve?

When I check my status i see this

You've been approved for the YourCoolFreeStuff.com reward offer. A confirmation email is already scheduled to be sent to you within the next 24 hours. This email contains a link that you must click in order to verify your address. For security purposes, this is the only way to redeem your free gift. If you haven't received this email, check your spam folder as the confirmation email could have been classified as spam by your spam filter software. We are not responsible for lost or deleted email.

--Thank you.

17-06-2006 06:19:15

e-mail comes sometimes in 24 hours sometimes in a couple of days, but regardless check in your spam folder for an e-mail at approx. 400 a.m. (others have posted that it is generally either at 400 or 401.)

samz465

17-06-2006 07:49:52

Can someone give me an idea on what it looks like?

As well as what the subject etc is?
And does Gmail pick it up as spam normally??

Also. My referral according to the site went green at 140 AM this morning, I did NOT recieve a confirmation email @ 400 This morning...
Also, Do I have to get this email BEFORE my 60 days?
How does it work?

samz465

17-06-2006 07:59:17

Are the emails all from the same email address?
If they are i can setup a filter

Can someone also post the emails associated with the confos?

Your account status updates your ref status as green the day after the ref actually gets the last of their credits. Assuming you were already complete and just waiting on the ref, then the NEXT day after that at 4am, you get the e-mail with the redemption link.

So, to illustrate by example

[b3fe56c16f0]Monday[/b3fe56c16f0] You green on the last of your offers
[b3fe56c16f0]Tuesday[/b3fe56c16f0] Your ref greens on the last of his/her offers
[b3fe56c16f0]Wednesday[/b3fe56c16f0] Your status is updated to show your ref is complete
[b3fe56c16f0]Thursday[/b3fe56c16f0] You receive the redemption e-mail @ 4am

For YCFS, the e-mail comes from [b3fe56c16f0]Gift Redemption Center <cs@yourcoolfreestuff.com>[/b3fe56c16f0] with the subject line "Redeem Your Gift." It's the same domain from which you should have received your signup confirmation, although signup confirmations usually come from a person's name rather than the "cs" account.

Anytime I do an I-Deal site, I always add "cs@<siteaddress>" to my Gmail address book. I'm on my 3rd I-Deal site and have NEVER lost an e-mail from any of them, and because it's in my address book it is never caught as spam, so I don't have to dig through the 300/day spams that land in my spam folder.

So after somehow finishing RedTopSavings at the last moment I get my voucher emailed to my super late last night, I go to redeem it today and it says, "Due to the limited time nature of this offer, your registration is now expired. Please see our Terms and Conditions for further information."

Anyone who's ever ordered from an I-Deal Site and still has the address info, please PM me and tell me what it is. I'm trying to figure out the address where to send my freelawngear certs.

ajrock2000

19-06-2006 09:22:47

Yo wolfe, I have no idea if this works but you can also get a redemption form by using....

http//redemption.i-dealdirect.com/cgi-bin/redeem.cgi?key= [SITE NAME HERE]

(i.e. http//redemption.i-dealdirect.com/cgi-bin/redeem.cgi?key=redtopsavings )

Its weird because it gives you no dates or anything on the redemption form.

bruman

19-06-2006 09:48:01

Sweet, I filled it out and it gave me this address

Granite Investment Group, LLC
2307-B Central Dr. Suite 2-175
Bedford, TX. 76021

I don't think that's right though.. I could of swore it said Las Vegas NV and Red Turtle Investments...

Red Turtle is different, and I think it did have a NV address. Or one of the I-Deal sites had a NV address.

I-Deal sites are run by different companies, all with different mailing addresses, so you can't just mail certs to any address. It has to go to the proper address for the company running the site.

bruman

19-06-2006 09:57:46

Ok, so I take it i'm supposed to send the certs to the address located in the T.O.S.?

It says redturtleinvestments owns freelawngear.. http//www.whois.net/whois.cgi2?d=freelawngear.com

Which would be
FreeLawnGear.com
Red Turtle Investments, 5348 Las Vegas Drive #472, Las Vegas, NV 89108

But that grantite investments LLC doesn't make any sense.. unless that's old or something?

dmorris68

19-06-2006 10:06:32

Yes, for all of the I-Deal sites I've done, the address for the cert was the same as the TOS address.

Also, if you've printed the certs, they usually put the address at the bottom of the cert!

bruman

19-06-2006 10:19:40

Yea, well i'm not sure what to do.. maybe I should send it to both addresses?

But I seriously could of swore it said Red Turtle Investments when I orginally looked at the T.O.S. (and the whois info backs up that claim).

But that i-deal redemption link ajrock posted above sent me to that Granite address.. and I did a google cache on freelawngear.com's privacy policy and found this
http//72.14.203.104/search?q=cacheghU5JJD6iPEJfreelawngear.com/privacy.cgi%3F%26config%3D795+sitefreelawngear.com+freelawngear&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=4

and that says Granite as well at the bottom.

It could be that Granite previously owned freelawngear and then Red Turtle took over, and that the google cache and the i-deal redemption links are both old.

And yes, I did print the certificates, and I filled out the first page just fine.. printed off my w9 and filled that out. Then I go to put it in an envelope and I can't for the life of me find the second page. I looked everywhere. Normally I would of just been able to follow the link they sent me in my e-mail and just view the certs/get the address again, but now FreeLawnGear.com expired and is down so I can't do that.

Filing with the BBB doesn't do anything expect let other people know the company is shady. If they try to screw me, I'm writing 1 letter to their legal department and if still nothing, I'm suing. I'm sick of these companies and there BS...

Wasn't your account deadline supposed to extend after you clicked on the link the in the email? I was told that once before but if mine doesn't update by the 22nd (I sent my form in today) then I'll be in the same boat as you. (

dmorris68

19-06-2006 12:23:58

If they got your cert before the account expired, I wouldn't worry yet. Same thing happened on other I-Deal sites, including CSC, and those people's status updated after their form was processed. They were able to get back into their account after that.

YCFS takes up to a couple weeks to approve a cert (took 8 days for mine).

It definitely does not extend automatically. I am pretty sure you are good if you get the cert before it expires, but ideal sucks ass because you cannot contact them to figure out what the hell is going on.

I posted this in the other thread, but IIRC you don't have to mail it in before the 60 days, you just have to print it by then. Look on your cert and see if it has a mailing deadline. I've already sent 2 I-Deal certs and I don't have the copies in front of me, but I could have swore you have 15 or 30 days after you print the cert to get them mailed in.

So is it confirmed that the address you're supposed to send your certificates into on i-deal sites is the SAME EXACT address located in their terms of service (at the very bottom under "Registered Copyright Agent" and the site name)?

This is $1,450 we're talking about so I want to be 100% sure.

It's probably as confirmed as it can get, from here at least. Unless somebody already sent theirs for that site and has a copy. Like I said, with both I-Deal sites I completed, which came from 2 different marketing companies, the cert was mailed to the exact address shown in the TOS.

bruman

19-06-2006 14:01:19

Ok.. would I need to add anything.. for example on Red Turtle Investments (this is where i'm going to send in the certs too)

Red Turtle Investments
5348 Las Vegas Drive #472
Las Vegas, NV 89108

Would it be exactly like that?
Or would it be like

ATTN FreeLawnGear.com
Red Turtle Investments
5348 Las Vegas Drive #472
Las Vegas, NV 89108

or something like that?

dmorris68

19-06-2006 14:13:01

That's what I did for both I-Deal sites, except I put the ATTN line below the company name. Shouldn't matter though.

Send it with some form of delivery confirmation at least. I prefer Priority Mail with Signature Confirmation, cost is $5.40 total I think.

bruman

19-06-2006 14:20:06

Ok, thanks for the help.

I'll probably do it like

"Red Turtle Investments
ATTN FreeLawnGear.com Redemption
<address>"

And yep.. i'm gonna go into the post office tomorrow and send it away priority mail + tracking. Also need to send in my Giftcards.FreePay approval form..

has anyone had this happen and can it be fixed?


When I was doing my offers I held off on one of them for page 1. Now, when I log in - all it says is Silver offers and the next button. there are no offers to choose from, so i can't complete the page. This is for hotgasgrill, anyone have an e-mail address for someone within ideal who checks their e-mail cause nobody is responding (

dmorris68

22-06-2006 11:11:56

I've heard of the offers disappearing before, but it was usually temporary. Personally I've never seen it myself.

Not responding to e-mails is the norm for I-Deal. Every so often somebody will surprise you and respond, like Trish or Molly, but most go unanswered.

If they approve your certs, you'll get an e-mail and then you should be able to get to your account again. If you don't normally get I-Deal emails (I always do but some people seem not to) then you'll just have to keep trying over the next few weeks.

I-Deal doesn't take check requests. They will sometimes send checks when they can't get the prizes, but lately checks are becoming pretty rare. Whether they send a check is entirely up to them.

Submit a support request through the website and they'll respond that way.

Trish only supports Bullseye sites, so don't bother contacting her if you're working on a site that's branded by another of their DBAs.

Trish said you can do different TrimLife offers, but she's Bullseye -- who knows what others will do. I do know that CSC people got prizes after doing different offers from the same company, despite their T&C to the contrary.

I'm going to find out, since I just submitted certs for my 3rd I-Deal site, during which I did Energie Vitale (after doing Cosmetique on CSC) and Trim Life Carb Control (after doing TL Combo on CSC). This one wasn't a Bullseye site, though, so my mileage may vary...

Nothing you can do. If they say your ref is DQ'd, you'll get the $100 (assuming they don't determine YOU were in violation yourself, then you may get nothing) with no chance to get another ref. Of course with the 60 day expiration it wouldn't matter because most likely your account would be expired by the time you're DQ'd anyway.

[quoted011cd4f29="ChaSongjo"]Hm... would getting 2 refs work? If only 1 of them violated the T&C, will my second one count towards anything?[/quoted011cd4f29]
On CSC, people reported getting DQ'd for ref violations when they had more than the minimum number of completed refs. I-Deal doesn't explain why your ref was DQ'd, or which ref was DQ'd. The speculation is that I-Deal goes down the list of refs and if they hit a DQ'd ref before you have your minimum, then you are DQ'd. Strictly speculation, though, seeing as how I-Deal doesn't clarify much.

And of course we're assuming the ref was even legitimately DQ'd, as opposed to the conspiracy theory that they only approve X% of all submissions, and DQ the rest for bogus reasons.

I can't yet say I believe in the conspiracy notion, as most of the few DQ's I've seen explained (by Trish) have been for legit reasons. I was just DQ'd on YourCoolFreeStuff (got the infamous letter and $100 check today), but I wasn't terribly surprised since my ref seemed to have some trouble early on -- I'm certainly not confident enough to fight it. Now with CSC, I knew my ref personally and was licertainli he did everything right, so I was prepared to fight a DQ. But I wasn't DQ'd, and got my plasma in 5 weeks.

artvandelay

26-06-2006 18:49:34

To be fair, I had 2 referrals for the CSC site. One of them got DQ'd, so I was sent a $100 check. I explained to Trish that I had another, legitimate, referral. She told me to send the check back, and she would "see what she could do." About a month later, she sent me a $2000 check.

They knew they had no case against a second, legitimate referral, so they send me rightfully earned cash. D

You're not getting virii and adware from I-Deal cookies. Or any cookie for that matter. The worst thing cookies can do is track your browsing habits.

According to their TOS blurb on the status page, no.

According to Trish from BullsEye regarding the CSC site, yes, and we know of several people who claimed to have done multiple (but different) TrimLife, Cosmetique, and Gevalia offers that received their prize without problem.

But since this seems to be in direct contradiction to the terms stated on the status page, I'd be interested in hearing Molly's input on it as well for the DTCI sites.

You get a 1099-MISC next year at tax time. You add it to your income just like your W2 income and claim it on your tax return. If you mail a paper return, you include a copy of the 1099.

i don't think ideal would allow you to have someone else fill out a w9 for you


And I have a completely different question I finished my 6 offers on getyourfreereward (toshiba $1400 laptop) and a referal signed up under me locking in him for 6 offers. They recently chaged the req.s to 10 offers and 3 referals so my referal doesn't want to finish (he'd have to find someone to do the new req. under him).

My question is, how confident is everyone feeling in Ideal Direct these days? I would just pay my ref to complete his offers if i was confident i would see a $1400 check down the line.

A friend of mine emailed consumersavingcenter.com's support about this and she actually got a reply asking her what store she'd like the gift card for (they gave her choices like Walmart, Target, etc). So, it appears that she'll be getting one, but she had to contact them about it.

31-07-2006 09:14:15

I need some real advise from someone who is experienced in dealing with iDeal (and/or Bullseye Media). Here's my story (as explained in an email sent to support)

I completed all the requirements for the free plasma TV offered through the promotion on ConsumerSavingCenter.com. The requirements were approved and I received a redemption voucher which, according to the status on my account, was processed on May 11, 2006. My account status said that the TV would be delivered in 6-8 weeks. I also did the same on GetMyFreePlasmaTV.com, and my redemption voucher for that site was processed on May 12, 2006. My account status for that site also said that the gift would be delivered in 6-8 weeks.

On June 20, 2006 I received one plasma TV sent from PC Connection and delivered by PITT Ohio Express. There was nothing on the delivery receipt nor anywhere else to indicate which website the TV came from. After waiting another 5 weeks (10 ½ weeks after my voucher was processed) for the 2nd TV to be delivered, and in order to find out which website sent the TV that I did receive, I contacted Adam Callahan of PC Connection, who I was told is the account manager for the PC Connection client which ordered the TV which was delivered to me. He informed me that the TV was ordered from GetMyFreePlasmaTV.com, not ConsumerSavingCenter.com. This left me to believe that it was the TV earned through ConsumerSavingCenter.com's promotion that still needed to be delivered.

On July 25, 2006 I sent an email= to email=cs@consumersavingcenter.comcs@consumersavingcenter.com to email=cs@consumersavingcenter.comcs@consumersavingcenter.com/email to inquire about the status of my gift. I received a response from Trish who said that the TV was sent on June 26. The email included a link to PITT Ohio's Shipment Status webpage which reports the date of delivery for the TV I received on June 20 (not June 26). She also asked if I was "intentionally trying to commit fraud." I replied with an explanation of the situation (that I completed the requirements for 2 plasma TVs from two different promotions and was told that the TV I received was NOT from ConsumerSavingCenter.com) and I haven't received a response since.

In case the error was on the part of Adam Callahan of PC Connection, and the TV I received was in fact from ConsumerSavingCenter.com, I sent an email= to email=cs@getmyfreeplasmatv.comcs@getmyfreeplasmatv.com to email=cs@getmyfreeplasmatv.comcs@getmyfreeplasmatv.com/email to inquire about the status of my gift on that site. I received the EXACT same reply from Maggie (according to the email address) but signed by Trish (is she acting as two people?). Again, I replied with an explanation of the situation but have not yet received a response.

According to the TOS of both ConsumerSavingCenter.com and GetMyFreePlasmaTV.com, "Users are allowed to create a unique account with each referral-based site, as all of these sites are not linked together." Therefore, I should be receiving one Plasma TV from each site. I completed the requirements for both and was approved by both. I am NOT trying to commit fraud. I thought it was quite unprofessional from someone to accuse me of that!

Obviously there's some confusion somewhere. I'm not clear on how Bullseye Media and i-Deal Direct are related. The redemption vouchers were sent to two different addresses. Does anyone have a contact phone number I can have so that this can be resolved by phone rather than email? Or is there another contact person to whom I should address this issue?

Any advise on how to proceed?

Yeah, thats what I thought too. I also checked my yourcoolfreestuff status and that one is also says the same thing. Maybe another check is coming for $2k? I think I would pass out if that were to happen. shock

question.


after the initial batch of offers have been approved, has anyone ever had an offer credit after 1 day.

I just a bunch yesterday to find only a few credited today, and i'm not sure if its the weekend or if they are never going to credit.

ajrock2000

Yes they do, although I'm not sure how they still get paid by the sponsors, since they have pretty much the same ones as all the other sites where sponsors strictly enforce the "new lead" policy and won't pay for repeats.

I posted this in the FreeMerchandiseVouchers thread also (Dell Monitor), but I'm posting here also, hopefully to catch the eye of some other i-Deal experts. dmorris68 gave me some excellent advice, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had any similar experiences.

---------
Got my redemption e-mail this morning.. however I ran into an issue. After filling out the information and submitting it (I did not print my voucher), I noticed that I only put "108" instead of "Apt. #108" for my Apartment. I went back to fix it and submit it again (I figured I could generate a new voucher, so I didn't print the first one), but it said I couldn't because I've already printed a voucher.

I've e-mailed them through the site and as a reply to the redemption e-mail -- I don't suppose they offer any kind of phone support, do they? I really hope I'm not SOL -- I didn't get any response to the previous 2 e-mails I've sent them.

This morning, I sent a support ticket, a direct e-mail to CS, PMed Molly here (it appears she doesn't look at them though), and e-mailed her directly.

EDIT Nevermind, I-Deal contacted me back. Great CS, they are going to process my account manually.

Anyone notice that if you navigate away from the link above, one of the pop-up windows is the offer page, even ifyou don't enter an email address? Pretty sneaky way to get you to sign up for an offer without having a way to track your status.

here's my question
ideal says you can repeat offers after 6 months. i've never repeated an offer anywhere, cause every site says not to, but i'd maybe do it on ideal seeing as how it's in the TOS that you can (actually, right on the offers page that you can). i'd be willing to keep some or all of my offers if need be, cause i'd still be coming out ahead.

i think if it says that you can repeat in 6 months, that it'd be fine. yet i also know that the offering companies themselves do not like you repeating offers. if an offering co. won't give credit for a repeat, then how could ideal tell you to do that, if they wouldn't be paid for the leads? maybe these companies do have a 6 month policy or are less strict about repeats than what other sites lead us to believe? either that or ideal is looking for a way to DQ people (when a company denies you credit). but i dunno how they can DQ you for something they say is OK. something has to be going on.

Ok so let me see if understand stuff here

I-deal who has many site has the main service rep. Molly
there address is
950 Walnut Bottom Rd 15-212 Carlisle, PA 17013

Then there is Bulls-Eye Media wich has a few sites and there rep is Trish with an address of
Bullseye Media PO Box 92 Millersburg, PA 1706

Then there is Market labs with no know CS rep and an sddress of
Market Labs.net, Inc. 40 East Main Street, #333 Newark, DE 19711-4639

SO far to me it seems that Ideal and bullseye are one the up and up but marketlabs are scammers, as they dont deliver there gifts and they dq for no reason.

Am I pretty right so far? And does anyone know of a contact for Market Labs?

I believe Molly supports MarketLabs as well, at least I seem to recall that. Haven't done a MarketLabs site myself, so can't say for sure. Between my three I-Deal sites, two were on Direct To Consumer Interactive (Molly) and one was Bullseye Media (Trish). Those are the only 2 reps I've seen or heard from, other than the e-mail addresses you get on the signup confirmation e-mails, but I've never heard of them answering e-mails.

If original offers credited in 7 days (the at most) i'd only give Celladerm 7 days if not green by 7th day, then ya i'd do anotha....

You have to have 1 green in each category (atleast) for 24hour credits to work in that category... sometimes offers due infact credit differently, but it's an automated system so it's usually the standard timing schedule.

I know 2-3 ppl who said they did celladerm as replacements and it credited overnight (24hrs) for all 3 of them.

Did you click on the link in your status page to generate the redemption e-mail after you and your refs were approved on all offers? You have to do that, and then redemption e-mail comes at 4am the following day.

If you've done that already, then no they won't send another one, but you can find somebody who has the redemption link and use theirs. Redemption links for any given site are the same for eveybody, so just find somebody who has done the same site and got the redemption e-mail.

So what is the crediting system? I heard something about do one offer, wait 20 days, do the rest; and I also heard something about once the first offer credits, everything else credits next day? I'm confused o_O

chewy

09-10-2006 07:33:54

do all your offers, wait 7 days. if they dont credit on day 7, they probably wont credit ever. keep doing an offer until it credits. after 7 days they usually credit after 1 day. remember you must do your offers in 30 days of risk not getting everything

unknown uchiha

09-10-2006 07:40:07

So when I do my offers, I wait a week, and after that week if offers don't credit I have to do more correct?

That's a boilerplate footer they add to every I-Deal site, and it's wrong more often than it's right, it seems. The true determination is their T&C, which still state 0 refs. Also, the status page has no referral section unlike referral-based I-Deal sites. Just the 3 offer categories, and that's it.

Not sure, I never check for cookies behind my I-Deal sites, so I don't know what they normally look like. I do know they use both cookies and tracking pixels, but I don't on which sites/offers. I haven't completed any offers on this deck site yet, so I can't say for sure. I do need to get on it though.

Long story short, when dealing with Ideal, Bookmark either your offers page, or your status page. The bookmarked URL should look like

Usually not until you've submitted your redemption certificate, and it's received and processed. Then you're sitting there fat, dumb, and happy waiting for your gift, thinking you're home free, and liwhamli the DQ notice shows up. It's quite depressing. (

It used to show up again each time you clicked it, but the last couple I-Deal's I did, it only shows up once. Which makes my routine of waiting for "Pending" before offer completion kinda difficult, since you don't know for sure if the current click was registered.

I've only ever had one I-Deal offer get lost and never show up, and it was YourMusic.com (ironically enough, one of the best offers ever and I still subscribe to it).

The Nano site hasn't credited anything, it's technically been 7 days (in 9 hours itll be exactly 7 days). Either the tracking cookies fucked up or something because DOYD credited 3/6 already and I'm pretty sure I saw the tracking cookies/pixels for those offers.

12 + 7 = 19. You don't count the day you did the offer, so don't look for credit before the 19th. 18th at the very earliest, if you're really lucky. ;) And they don't necessarily credit at midnight either, I've checked I-Deal offers in the morning and they were pending, checked later in the day or evening and they were approved.

Also keep in mind some offers just take longer than 7 days to credit. My longest was 19 days on CSC.

I've had a lot of freebie offers never send confirmation e-mails, including several I-Deal offers. However I still got credit for them. Just be patient, and if you don't get credit after enough time has passed, just do another offer. If the charge went through, contact the offer company and ask for a confirmation e-mail.

If you're thinking of needing confirmation e-mails for manual credit on I-Deal, forget about it. I-Deal doesn't grant manual credit, even though their TOS says otherwise. You're better off just doing extra offers anyway.

Maybe Ideal is going to pull the plug and make as much money as they can before they bail?

I did four extra offers for the second page, and honestly, I'm not going to worry about it. I'll mark this site as a scam and write off the $30 loss. This was the last I-Deal site for me anyway.

-Entertainment book

I know Experian and Privacy Matters are kinda sketchy on I Deal sites, but I was seriously expecting atleast Entertainment Book to credit.

Watch out guys. Ideal is changing there Crediting Structure and its gotten a helleva lot worse. I would stray away from future Ideal sites and save offers until you find a really good site like a new plasma or whatnot.

Its seems they arnt crediting as much and have been sending out emails regarding not having documentation on the offers being completed

DRay9911

19-10-2006 10:41:40

Interesting that a company that isn't the best when it comes to Customer Service is sending out e-mails regarding offer crediting.

Did you read this on another forum or do you have first hand experience? If this is something that happened to you, any chance you could quote (copy/paste) what you received?

-dan

bruman

19-10-2006 10:42:10

Chill out guys, it's ok. I-Deal has said they increased the crediting time (probably 20-day mark now for DOYD) because people were cancelling the day they got credit (such as on 24hr replacements). I-Deal is legit, just be patient. Do your offers and just wait it out. YFDirect is 45 Days until the offers credit, this one is still a lot less than that. The offer-per-payout ratio is well worth it.

You guys are just worried because they recently changed some of the offering times around one day (some did it before and credited in 7-days, and others are having to wait longer).

Edit-

Also, has anyone had luck with getting credit through Columbia House?

bruman

19-10-2006 11:02:18

We don't know if that's the case yet. Usually replacements credit a lot faster than the initial crediters, so it may just be 7-days, it's too early to tell. If you have crediting issues in certain areas just do an extra offer in that section if you're worried. You'll be fine.

bruman

19-10-2006 12:30:08

Haha sorry. And yeah, that's the problem. I-Deals crediting system works in "groups" not as a whole. Since none of the offers credited on platinum and you had to redo some, you're still in that initial crediting loop for platinum.

When you first did the offers it was 7-day crediting on the 5th. When you did the "replacements" (although they're not really replacements to i-deal, since none credited) on the 12th - after the change, you're now in the 20-day initial crediting loop for platinum.

looking4ref

19-10-2006 12:39:54

thanks... that totally makes sense though it sucks!! I started doing this site only because it was on 7-day cycle.. So Nov 1st then?? What if only one of the Platinum's credit then.. will I be on a 7-day cycle or 20 day? Do you think it is better to do another replacement NOW just to be safe?? will it ensure I go all green latest by the 8th (+20 from today) ?

I know you may not have all answers, but you sure will know more than me ;-)

I did them around midnight of last Tuesday/Weds, so technically it could be different days, although I did them all at 1 time, I didn't wait a few hours before doing them.

I had my browser on accept all cookies, I would do an offer, wait a few minutes, close all windows, clear cookies, log in again, and then do another offer for each one.

I'll wait it out I guess, but I really don't intend on wasting 5 more offers. I have to wonder if the no ref thing was intended, maybe they caught it after several of us signed up and some got paid, and this is their way of "fixing" it so they don't have a lot of no-ref payouts. ?

All I-Deal redemption links are sent out at 4am on the day following all offer/ref approvals. It's the way I-Deal has always worked, nothing scammy about it.

Also, if you don't get the e-mail, it's almost always due to being filtered somewhere (note that some ISP's filter some spam before you ever see it, Alltel/Windstream is a good example with their Brightmail filters). Some people can never seem to get I-Deal e-mails, but I always have. It's not a big deal, just use the redemption link posted elsewhere for this site, it's the same link for everybody.

I'm part on a conga for an I-Deal site. The four people who signed up ahead of me had their offers approve on day 7. I'm on day 16 with no approvals. My ref has had 1 offer approve (on day 7). The person 6 people down from me had 3 offers approve on day 7 and 2 approve on day 9. Two people further down in the conga did offers that don't even show up as pending.

I can't figure out why one person approved in 7 days and everyone else below me is still waiting.

Following i-deals trends, you'll most likely be shipped at the end of November.. at the latest at the end of December.

When I completed deckoutyourdeck it was really fast - less than two weeks when all my offers got approved I had the $1,100 check in hand. Either way, i-deal ships at the end of the month.

http//forum.freeipodguide.com/viewtopic.php?t=47659

"Q/S When doing offers, it's a good habit to have two windows open, one being your Account Status Page, and two being the Current Page of offers your doing.
A/R When doing offers, After clicking on an offer it will show up on your Account Status Page within 5-15 minutes, it's good practice to WAIT until the offer you clicked shows up on the Account Status Page, before actually PAYING/Completing that offer. This helps with offers crediting, and if the offer doesn't show up after 5-15 minutes, you may have a COOKIE Problem. (I advise using FireFox for doing offers, over IE) "

I'll again note, I signed up and completed 6 offers for the nano on [b882394c63f]OCT 12TH[/b882394c63f] and today is day 20 for me... not a single one has credited! I suppose I will wait until day 30 and do [b882394c63f]SIX MORE FUCKING OFFERS!!![/b882394c63f] and then I-Deal can kiss my ass, as I will never do another one of their sorry ass sites again! I don't see how they can keep at it with such poor crediting habits.

maybe they are fixing the sites to credit offers, here to wishful thinking

but so let me get this straight you did 6 offers for a nano max 250 bucks, then you turned around and did replacement offers, so let say you did 10 offers and you might still get screwed, what a waste, nuitech would give you 1000 for you efforts

Oh and, so here's my scenario. I signed up for the nano site and did my 6 offers (though if I remember correctly, I did number 6 one day after the first 5) over a two day span. Once I hit the 21 day mark, I got impatient and signed up for more offers. Are these offers gonna credit faster or do I have to start the 20/30 day cycle all over again. I've read the explanation of the crediting cycles and it doesn't assess this exact situation. I am under the impression, your replacement offers will only credit faster if you complete them the day your initial offers from that particular page credit (i.e. 1 offer from page one credits and upon signing up THAT SAME DAY for a replacement offer, credit will be faster). However, as mentioned, I haven't gotten credit for ANY! Help me understand...

Nobody really know right now what the crediting cycle is right now. PPl tuaght it was 20 days, but they were wrong, so it seems its 30 days.

Im guessing your cycle will prbably be 30 days for the first 6 offers you did, then 30 more days for the offers after that b/c nothing credited at first, yet you did more offers, so i guess it will take 30 days each for both sets.

02-11-2006 20:26:18

^^^which sucks because we only get 60 days to begin with.

I did DOYD on 10/11 and my offers credited on day 7.

My friend did DOYD on 10/12 and only Real has credited.

I did another I-Deal site for a gift card on 10/12 and nothing has credited. I did a 7th offer on day 20 (yesterday) but all 7 are still pending.

mistertomlinson

02-11-2006 22:18:54

I wish we could somehow stop EVERYONE from completing I-Deal sites... this is just poor business practice. Anyone can sign up for 18 offers on a Niutech site and have most of them credit within a week, but these assholes are making us wait 30 days and likely won't give us credit for all of them (but, I can guarantee they'v been paid for our completions)!!! I'd love to see this company go under from lack of customers... I know, I know... I-Deal is legit and have been around sending out gift for a long time... that's not the subject of my dispute. It's just poor business...

Sounds like you're saying you're constipated... Like you need prunes REAL BAD,.. hehe

And about the new 30 day wait.. my god these people are low.. but then again, how else can they afford to send out 1100 dollar checks for 6 measily offers... breakage, breakage, breakage....DQ DQ DQ

When I did the site, I finished in a lucky time frame and I got my check 12 days after they processed my account... but aside from that bit of happiness, Ideal manages to both suck and blow.


I guess the only lessson you can learn from this is do all your offers the very same day you sign up.. because you KNOW the 45 day wait is coming....

Despite that blurb in their terms, I-Deal allows you to complete [if9c9fff4e2]different[/if9c9fff4e2] offers from the same company. I really wish they would remove that, because it confuses people. But we've had multiple reps from I-Deal saying that you CAN complete all the Trim-Life, all the Scholastic, etc. as long as you don't repeat the same offer. And I know it's true because I've done it and received my gifts.

I-Deal aren't scammers. They suck at customer service, they are wildly inconsistent in their shipping and DQ practices, but they DO ship many thousands of dollars in prizes. Just look through the DIY Brag Bag.

Personally, I've received a 42" Plasma and a 24" Dell monitor from them, and on the one site I got denied (for my ref's TOS violation) I got a $100 consolation check for my trouble when the terms don't even allow for that. So I'm still a fan of I-Deal, but you do have to be cautious when you complete offers AND recruit your referrals.

That sucks that they do that when you're already under the 60 day crunch as it is. It's these sorts of things that give people more and more of a bad taste about i-deal. I know they can sort of get away with it because of their low offer numbers, but at the same time they require 1 or more referrals. To be honest I wouldn't mind doing a couple more offers to eliminate the referral, and to step up the whole customer service department as well as get some consistency as far as crediting and dq'ing goes. I think i-deal has a great market to be working with and they certainly have potential, I'd hate to see them totally lose it by making these sites impossible to finish. I know they need to make money and such, but don't take it out on your customers who are doing everything right, either raise your advertiser costs, or raise requirements. We need a happy medium. I honestly haven't had much bad to say about them besides you are kind of walking on egg shells and taking a chance when you do one of their sites. I have yet to be screwed by them either, like so many other claim. I'm hoping the site I'm working on now goes well just like the others. Only time will tell....

My 6 offers that I did on Oct 12 still haven't credited (day 27 for me). I was holding out hope for day 30 crediting and then today I see that one makeup offer I did on Nov 1 credited today (day 7). So I know I'm going to get screwed on this one.

evil I was part of a referral chain and everyone above me had their offers approved on day 7; of the 10+ people below me probably have had their offers approved while I am still 1/6.

I did slide in on DOYD and got the 7 day crediting, now waiting for my certs to be processed and hoping they follow through with the check.

I won't be doing anymore I-Deal sites.

dmorris68

08-11-2006 10:57:12

I just have a sneaking suspicion that DOYD was a mistake with the no-ref thing, given the value of the payout and the fact I-Deal had never had a no-ref site before. And rather than telling everybody "sorry, we goofed -- you have to get a ref," they might just be stalling on credits intentionally. I hate to think they've stooped to that, but it almost makes sense. I've NEVER seen other "normal requirement" I-Deal sites be this spotty and slow with crediting. shrug

bruman

08-11-2006 11:02:47

Yeah, it pretty much did a complete U-Turn. BEFORE everyone knew about it, it was perfect. I did it - ALL my offers credited in 7 days. I had a problem with the redemption form, so I e-mailed CS - they responded in less than 5 minutes telling me my account was approved, so I got manually proccessed that same day. Less than 2 weeks later I got a check (others have reported getting there gift in a mere 1 week after completing it). It's just when SO many people found out about it, it when down the drain.

I guess I have to give up DOYD thanks to the new stupid rule. I wasted money on that site. And on top of that, my Nano site doesn't even work for redemption forms. It won't load to one, CS email is suspended and never gets through, CS form on the site doesn't reply or is stuck in my 2000+ spam folder.

They have sent checks in the past for those that have completed the requirements.

When you say completed, do you mean your offers are approved? If so, when did you start your offers?

manOFice

09-11-2006 08:36:55

yeah sha316...when did you do your offers? If you are approved i'm betting you did your offers before oct 11, 12

sha316

09-11-2006 08:39:38

I locked my account in on Oct. 15th or something. I did all the offers last Monday and went 5/6. Completed another one y'day and got the link for the gift redemption. Since I had the requirements as 2-2-2 and 0 referrals when I signed up, it was easy for me.

Should I mail them and say specifically that I need a check instead of a deck/patio package??

manOFice

09-11-2006 08:42:15

sha316

09-11-2006 08:45:39

Oops, by last monday I meant Oct. 30th. I went 5/6 on Nov. 6th and did another offer on Nov. 7th to get it approved on 8th. So, as of now, I'm done with all the offers and completed the requirements.

They say you have to wait 6 weeks from when you did your offers to apply for manual credit. (42 days) ;)

dmorris68

10-11-2006 07:04:03

Guys, as we've said numerous times before unless they've changed their policy very recently, they DO NOT give manual credit, regardless of what their TOS states. Their reps have told us so in the past.

And even if they did, you only have 60 days to complete the site. So if you started the manual credit process at 42 days, that doesn't leave much time for them to investigate and grant/deny credit, and then to do replacement offers for those they deny or get no response. That's why with I-Deal it has always been considered easier to just do more offers.

I'm becoming more and more convinced that the 0-ref sites were mistakes. I've done 3 other I-Deal sites myself, and seen a lot of people doing other I-Deal sites, without all these crediting problems. I suspect the majority of us are just having our credits held up because they don't want to pay out so much money for 6 measly offer completions. And it looks like most of us are going to fall through the cracks on this one.

[quote998e5827e2]Hello,

Unfortunately, we do not have your confirmation on file for all of your
offers. While this may not be your fault, in order to receive your free
gift, we still need to verify that you did in fact complete that sponsored
offer through our site.

Please keep in mind, per the Terms and Conditions of the website "For paid
retail offers, you must accept the product or service and pay in full. The
sponsor may require additional terms and conditions to participate in their
marketing offers. Users should read the terms of each offer before
completing the sign-up process. Sponsors report to us that you completed
their offer. This will generally take up to 4 weeks, depending on the
sponsor."

If you do not complete the offer according to the sponsor's requirements,
you will not receive credit from us for completing said offer.

Through the US Mail, please send

1. The confirmation email, complete with the header of the email that
you received from the sponsor company which includes your account number
and signup date.
2. A copy of your paper credit card statement showing proof of
purchase, verifying dates and your name and address.
3. A copy of the latest utility bill confirming your name and address.
4. A copy of this email to serve as a reference

Please be sure that you include these four requirements for all necessary
offer confirmations. We want to verify that you did in fact sign up for the
offer by clicking on it directly through the final page of our site. As
soon as we receive your applicable response, we can mail your free gift!

Please mail to

Red Turtle Investments,
5348 Las Vegas Drive #472,
Las Vegas, NV 89108

liPlease understand that sending in this information does not automatically
qualify you for the free gift. Before we can manually qualify you for the
offers in question we must contact the sponsor directly to compare the
information you provide with the information they have on file internally.
This process is not immediate and can take up to 4-6 weeks.

Thank you,

So I'm pretty much screwed. I did most of these on a prepaid credit card so no credit card statement and I did not recieve confirmation emails for a few of the offers either. Not to mention this whole process would take another month, and I would run out of time. BOOOOOOOOOO!

I only found 5/6 confirmation emails and kate responded by saying doing more offers is my best bet. I also thought about not going through with this because it will most likely get my hopes up for nothing...i'm not sure i want to spend 5 bucks to ship everything...idk

They received mine on the 23 and they approved me nov 10th. But, I believe that was just a result of me emailing them asking when I will be approved and providing the tracking number, because they approved me 1 hr after sending the email. Not sure if you've done that or not.

I'm beginning to have a bad feeling about some of these sites. I did HotGasGrills and finally just got credit the other night, I was 5/6. I went a head and did a replacement offer yesterday, and now at the turn of 12, still no credit for it.

I also did the washer/dryer site as well. I went 7/10 last week, so of course I did my replacement offers right away. Here we are a week later and still no credit for the replacements at all. Anyone have any ideas of what I should do? I believe I signed up for this site on 10/16 leaving me with less than 30 days before my account expires.

Qustion for you all. I finished the HotGasGrill site. Checked my account and it said it was sent an email on November 21, 2006 at 4 am. Since I've been expecting the email, I checked my account very thoroughly and I got nothing. I don't get much mail and spam at all on that account, but for some reason I didn't get it. I tried the next best thing and got someone elses link for the vouchers. When I filled out all my information it wouldn't let me continue because the phone number was different (obviously because it wasn't my original link). The link I got looks to be personalized and has a number at the top, almost like it was specifically for someone. So I've emailed customer service, but of course I don't expect anything from them at all. Do you all have any suggestions at all?

Sorta... I did several other offers (after my initial 6 didn't credit) and sent an email for manual credit figuring, "to hell with waiting the 42 days... I did enough extra offers... they should credit my shits now." So, I didn't include confirmation emails. I just told them how many offers in all I had done for a measly Nano and that none had credited. They never responded, so this may have had nothing to do with the crediting.

Secondly, what is the link for address confirmation or whatever it's called? You know, after your offers are approved you click the link for them to send you the email... I haven't gotten it yet and don't want to wait and remember reading something about doing it yourself. Could someone tell me... but I plan to search for the answer just as soon as I post this.

I told you it didn't work. I did exactly what I was told to do, replacing account with redeem... the page didn't load anything and simply said "done." I already explained that... I was then told to wait for the email. Well, the site says they email was sent on the 23rd at 400am. I never got it! 1 - my spam settings are at their lowest allowing ALL emails... so the only way it can end up out of my inbox is if I delete it myself. Well, I checked my trash folder and it is not there. It's hotmail and the trash is automatically emptied after 1 day, and all of my deleted emails from the 23rd are still there and there is no sign of the redemtion email. Does it tell me if I click the link in the email? I'm wondering if when I did the shit you guys told me to do with the redemption adress if it actually worked but I just wasn't informed by them. I'm gonna try it again with IE.

I sent in my DOYD forms using priority mail using delivery confirmation and this is what I got

Sending the redemption cert with confirmation is a mistake. We never asked that you do this. I am located in PA and the office in Nevada forwards things to me. They cannot forward things however when they require a signature. I am not traveling to Nevada any time soon so the information will just sit there. I would advise re-sending the information by regular old fashioned mail.

Also, please tell the people on the message boards that suggested to
everyone to send their certs with delivery confirmation that this is a HUGE
mistake.


So, I tried re-printing the redemption certs from the site (I did not make a copy of it) but it wouldn't allow me as I had already printed it once. So, the customer rep., after great difficulty I believe, processed my certs after 10 days. You guys can try it but I wouldn't advise you to send e-mails everyday. I waited till each of her response and the latest one came after 10 days. It simply pisses people off to see an e-mail per day from the same person asking the same question - just my opinion.

I sent it to Carlisle PA...but my status has not changed and they received it on Nov 20th. This is my first DIY and looks like the last with IDEAL. I wish I had the answers for you and me. When I try to contact them with a question on the site...it kicks it back to me a few hours later as undeliverable (failure).

I'm gonna ask if there is any way they can refuse to pay them or maybe even cancel their partnership with these assholes! I have a good mind to take it further if I knew it would do any god damned good! FUUUUUUUCK!

There's no reason for them to do that, short of wanting to scam you. If the paperwork arrives, why would they care HOW it arrived? Delivery Confirmation does not require a signature anyway, only Signature Confirmation does. And BTW I've sent the paperwork for my last two I-Deal sites with Signature Confirmation and it was delivered just fine. Signature and all. It also fowards just fine. The USPS does not care liwholi signs for it, only that it's signed for at the destination. There's nothing about DC/SC that says it can't be forwarded, as far as I know. You can call your post office to confirm, if it makes you feel better. ;)

BTW most of these I-Deal DBA's are using PMB's. When something arrives at a PMB store that requires a signature, the PMB staff sign for it (usually). Unless they have a PMB with a no-signature policy, that excuse doesn't work either.

So IMO that advice is highly suspect. But you guys do whatever makes you comfortable. All I know is I intend to be able to prove that I mailed something, and the only way to do that is by using one of these tracked methods and NOT regular mail.

Even still, we have to play by i-deals game since we're done there sites. If you're worried, just print off two redemption certificates instead of one. If the first snail mail one doesn't get approved in a week or two, send the second one via delivery confirmation.

If you've gotten it for one you're going to get it for every i-deal site. It's not just limited to one site. You're going to have to contact CS to help get it resolved. It may be be a zip-code thing, because i-deal rejects my cell phone number but accepts my home phone.

mistertomlinson

29-11-2006 05:41:21

I'm sure these two issues have been addressed already, but Christ that is a ton of reading and I am mentally handicapped...

So, you have to fill out the W9 for a $250 nano... do they actually report it? It's not a problem as I know it won't take much from my return, but it's only a $250 nano and I was under the impression you'd only have to report it if the gift was worth more than $600. I'd just hate to have to fool with 1099s and filing the gift and hope I don't accidentlly get audited over an iPod nano (as I am new to "gift tax")...

Secondly, my account expires in a couple of weeks and I am sending my forms today, so they will definitely get them before the account expires, but does the account status have to be updated to approved before the expiration?If the forms are postmarked BEFORE the expiration date, am I safe?

Hi there. It should ship in the next week or two. As you can see we had to change vendors because of certain people on the forum and their shenanigans. If anyone wants to know why there was a delay lately, you can personally thank Shaggz.

Sorry Molly, I honestly didn't mean to cause any problems...... Yes I found out the previous Vendor, but that was only because no one was receiving anything and many people were at 12+ weeks for gifts, so I sought out a connection to possibly find out if they heard anything. As email replies can't be depended on....

Again sorry, and If I truly was the cause of this vendor switch and cause of the delays, Sorry to Everyone else as well ..... Just trying to help.

You can ask anyone that. You can't request a check, but most likely they will be sending a check. She even said in an earlier post she is the one who mails out the [ic80534d48e]checks[/ic80534d48e]. So I guess that's hinting something. Plus I received my $1,100 DOYD check a while ago ).

Hi there. It should ship in the next week or two. As you can see we had to change vendors because of certain people on the forum and their shenanigans. If anyone wants to know why there was a delay lately, you can personally thank Shaggz.

You were processed and you are in our "awaiting fulfillment file".

How long ago did she approve your account?

Some people have waiting on different i-deal sites since August (Aurelius) and my FMV account has been approved since September 12th and we still haven't seen anything. Shaggz gave an explanation on i-deal's behalf, but it looks like he's on their ish list right now (sometimes people know a little too much for their own good).

According to some people, if/when i-deal ships it's on the last Friday of a month. If that's the case, I think some of us should have received something by now. If they were sent, maybe something good will happen today or next week.

Molly was nice enough to respond to the non-stop questions/sucking up yesterday. It's one thing to get your accounts approved - but at this rate, actually getting what you signed up for is something else (prepare for a wait).

I just find it hard to believe that because I knew who their vendor was who shipped TVs, I'm the cause of a Vendor switch? Anyone who has ever received a TV from I-Deal in the past knew who shipped them. And I know some of them told me they called them for receipts (for warranty purposes).... Due to this, they switched vendors ?

Um no? The people that were emailed and asked if they wanted a check and actually responded back will get a check on this batch (topwebrewards) and the people that mailed in their certs and had them processed before december 4th will get checks this batch. The people that bombarded me with PM's didn't receive any special treatment.

I'm a little curious as to how this will turn out also. I sent my certs... I'm thinking, no less than 2 weeks ago. My account hasn't expired yet, but will in 4 days if I am not mistaken. Of course they haven't updated my account as I'm sure they have received the forms, so can I really trust them? When my account expires, who's to say they won't disregard me and not bother sending anything? I couldn't really do anything about it. I understand they take forever to update your account status after receiving your certs and more time to ship, but how will I know whether I am waiting or my account has simply expired and I am shit out of luck? I am not expecting anything from this company...

If you look on Page 16 of the monitor thread, djmoshka on 10/01 received a check for $900.

As far as when we'll receive it...we've only been waiting 3 months, so i'd say we have another 1-2 months. I-Deal still has to send checks to people who signed up to other sites and were approved months after us.

I sent a "when can I expect my free gift" message through the website and copied/pasted the "you've been approved, please wait 6-8 weeks" e-mail I received on 09/12. Considering tomorrow will be 13 weeks since I was approved, it will be interesting to see what they have to say.

We are in the same boat, I feel your pain. I am happy for everyone who finished their site like a week ago and got checks, but its really unfair alot of us finished sites months ago and are still waiting..

Eventually I will take this to the "NextLevel" and make it about the principle of being screwed.. Which I will not sit down and take..

Not one to complain and bash, but this is getting out of hand.

My friend just told me he got his DOYD check today as well.
I highly doubt there will be any more "deckoutyourdeck" type requirements. I believe it was a mistake and was supposed to be 6+1.

One referral sites aren't a big deal anyways, as long as you get a reliable ref - a 1-ref i-deal conga is simple and is basically just like not having a ref at all.

I'm going to have to be done with i-deal for a while due to offers (i've done like 4 or 5 i-deal sites). I barely finished the 10+1 after they put up a couple new ones, and it all worked out good.. hopefully it'll be shipped before x-mas, that would help me out so much.

At what point is the i-deal rep going to come in here and explain why there are people who completed the requirements to sites in August and September who STILL have not received anything, and why those who signed up to DOYD were put ahead of them?

...and there better not be one response saying "the rep can't comment on (insert site here)", because the rep was able to tell everyone about their DOYD accounts/checks.

But i'm sure this, as with the other questions that have been asked, will fall on deaf ears.

I think the whole thing is just as ridiculous as you do, trust me. I have no say in how they do things and no input on why they do the things they do. All I can really do is keep whining to them and then when they tell me they are sending out checks, etc., I can rely the information.

Honestly, if it were up to me and I could do things myself, I would, and everything would have been sent by now, but I'm just the lowly CS rep.

So, people can keep asking me the same questions OVER and OVER again (this is not directed at you nextlevel) and I can keep giving you the same answer, and you can keep complaining, but its not doing any of us any good.

So why would someone who completed a site after myself (Dell 24" LCD) already recieve their gift? Do you think that I-Deal is waiting for the monitor to go down in price before they ship it instead of having to ffer $900 or $1000 checks? Just curious...I could really use the money for gifts this Christmas...

The answer was never given to why we got passed over. At this point, no answer is good enough anyway. Most (if not all) of us should have received something a month ago or last week at the VERY latest.

Tuesday will be 14 weeks since I received the received/processed certificate e-mail. They never responded to the question I sent through the website last week, i'll be faxing them on Tuesday.

As far the price going down, it has been holding steady at $799 for months. I am not sure what the price was when they sent monitors over the summer, but I know the checks were $900 (as recently as 10/02).

Dell.com has been running that 15% off special this month and it's going to end on Thursday. I posted on 12/05 the $730.76 final price (after the discount, free shipping, and the taxes that were included). If they were going to buy them, this month would have been the time.

I don't see any of us getting anything next week, so we're probably screwed for Christmas.

Thanks a lot i-deal.

If anything was really ordered on 12/20 (especially Dell 24" monitors), I think it's safe to say they will (should) be arriving next week.

The 15% off special ended on Thursday (see my 12/16 post above) and according to Dell.com, the estimated wait for shipping was 24 hours. There is also free 3-5 day UPS/Ground shipping on items over $49.

We'll see what happens.

It is going on 4 weeks since I was told 2 weeks.

I think I have been patient enough (4 months) and when others(from other DBA sites) are getting paid in a few weeks, seems like they are just cutting out other DBA names out.

If I don't here something soon(end of this week), I will just esculate this to real complaints with various branches, including all the aliase company names they are operating under, and the main company name.... Maybe even get together with a few others and take it further, I got nothing but time.

Is there anything we can do legal wise to speed up the process? I agree, people who finished in December and already got there check is bs because I have been waiting since Sept like a lot of you.

[quoted31200bbb6="nextlevel"]It is going on 4 weeks since I was told 2 weeks.

I think I have been patient enough (4 months) and when others(from other DBA sites) are getting paid in a few weeks, seems like they are just cutting out other DBA names out.

If I don't here something soon(end of this week), I will just esculate this to real complaints with various branches, including all the aliase company names they are operating under, and the main company name.... Maybe even get together with a few others and take it further, I got nothing but time.[/quoted31200bbb6]

not sure where you saw that (other than maybe the last post in the monitor thread, it's clear he didn't receive a check), but nobody has received anything from freemerchandisevoucher since djmoksha received a $900 check on [b0bf5252d4a]OCTOBER 2ND[/b0bf5252d4a].

for those doing the math - that's closer to three months than it is two, and now account holders (who either registered or/[b0bf5252d4a]and[/b0bf5252d4a] received their 'please wait 6-8 weeks' e-mail AFTER most of us) on three other sites are receiving checks

considering how many people received checks over the last couple of days, i thought one of us who have been waiting for so long would have received something - that doesn't appear to be the case. i'm now beginning to think they are getting off on the fact that we are still waiting and sitting around, with no actual progresss made in the last 3+ months.

if you go back through the history of this thread and the monitor thread, those of us who have been dicked around were pretty good at not being too vocal about it until the wait stretched into the 10-12 week mark (which was three weeks ago for those scoring at home). i waited to send a question to the official website until 12/09 (12.5 weeks later). i won't bother posting or PMing a question to the rep here as it goes unanswered a majority of the time.

meanwhile - when the rep does make an appearance, you have people whining and begging her to manually process their certificates and check for their W9s on the fax machine (followed by the usual, "i wuv you"/lovey-dovey posts). for the rep to respond to supersponger on 12/20, "Faxing and the like will not speed up the process." is complete crap....because if you go back to pages 19-21 here, W9s were processed and accounts were approved - off of faxes and PMs. since we can't fax and the like to get information, where do/should we go?

we've now seen two sets of checks mailed out this month - and with the exception of luumon, none of the people who posted their wait times on 12/12 (page 25) received anything (despite the rep's post on 12/20 that "things will be ordered today" about 3 minutes ago...that must not have applied to us). since the subject has already been brought up by nextlevel and now supersponger, i'll go ahead and add to it regardless of who and how many people have received checks this month, what is happening to those of us who have waited over three months on three common sites (with no legitimate response from any level of their customer service) is bordering on fraud.

The monitor is $719 with free shipping right now, so the $800 would cover the cost.

Now, if I could only get someone from I-Deal to respond to me about my shipping address. I signed up with my home address, but I gave Molly my work address via e-mail. After I realized I left the Suite # off, I tried to get a hold of her again, and she quit responding. I've even PMed her on here, saw that she read my PM, but she didn't respond.

DRay9911

28-12-2006 07:23:46

you can look on the previous page and read my post on 12/16 regarding the price of the monitor.

they could have ordered monitors at the beginning of the month (better yet, last month) and i'm sure everyone would have been happy.

the 15% off special that dell.com was running earlier in the month is now over. there is currently a 10% off special, the final price of the monitor is now $773.75.

if they are going to start sending $800 checks NOW, that's just crap.

between this site and yourchoicereward, i've been utterly boned over for pretty much all of 2006. had they not had their heads up their asses and either (a) approved my account in a timely manner, instead of me having to mail my certificate 3 times (YCR) and (b) actually sent the monitor/check in a timely manner, which i STILL don't have yet (FMV), I would have been able to sign up for one or more of the other sites that popped up while I was waiting....so i ended up getting screwed out of another $1000+

if it was someone at referralswapper, can you ask that person to post a timeline (or better yet, have them post here).

You have been approved by the sponsor(s). Your redemption certificate was processed on Aug 25 2006 1118AM. Your free gift will be mailed out within 6 to 8 weeks of the processing date.

-- Thank you. [/color44a32b5b7a]

I have been following other ideal sites in various forums and it seems that sites that started well after the GetYourFreeRewards site have been sending out checks, Dell Monitors, handbags, etc. yet nothing has been sent out for the people approved on this site since Sept 15th, 2006. I know there are a lot of people waiting for various items or checks but not hearing anything after this long of a wait gets frustrating. If anyone can give me any information I would greatly appreciate it. If there is someone I can call or contact at ideal, please provide the information and I will follow up.

in response to the above. Its a crap shoot when trying to get a response. They for the most part though won't ever answer when they will be sending out gifts.

If I were you, I would just put your gift in the back of you mind and you will get it when you get it. It will make you less crazy. If you recieve nothing in the next month, post back and go from there but until then just wait it out

mneipert

28-12-2006 17:06:47

Waiting it out is BS. It's obvious we're being strung along. Their biggest payout would be bestrewardsaround because it's the site where the most people did the best gift. They can use the money they save by not paying bestrewardsaround people to pay the newer sites off and keep people doing their sites. I am confident now that we're being scammed. Why else would they pay out the newer ones? I can think of no other reason. When you ask if it's fraud, I would say the nineth week after we were approved says it's fraud, and especially since they're doing all they can now to keep the con going.

Congrats! I'm happy you have received your items but I still can't understand why they are sending out gifts that certs were processed for in Oct/Nov. when there are outstanding gifts for people that were processed in July/Aug for laptops and other items. It should be first in, first out. If they can send out Toshiba laptops for GiftRewardsCentral then they should send them out for GetYourFreeRewards.

Okay... what should I do? I completed the candycoatedtunes site some time ago. I specifically chose the black 8G Nano... you'd have to be stupid not to. Well, it finally arrived today via DHL from PC Connections. BUT, it is blue and only holds 4G. We all know I Deal's reputation and I'm wondering if I should pursue an exchange. To make things worse, I did a ton of replacement offers (I'm too embarrassed to disclose how many) and have more than earned an 8G Nano. I am gonna try to contact Molly, but I haven't seen her around here in a while... So please... suggestions. What do you think I should do. Should I try to get another iPod or just be happy I actually got something from them? Please answer soon as I am anxious to see the consensus.

DRay9911

I checked out the site, but it didn't specifically say it was for an 8GB nano. If there is something that says "8GB" when you're logged in or you have something in an e-mail that says "8GB", then you are definately entitled to an 8GB nano for completing the requirements (unfortunately, it's irrevalant how many replacement offers you signed up to).

You could make every attempt to contact the rep or keep posting trying to get a response, but I don't think that's going to be the best route to take.

You should have received a delivery statement from pc connections, it should have purchaser information. If it does, you can give that a try.

If it doesn't, you could always try faxing i-deal directly (i would not bother phoning them).

Of course, it's best to not open it until you either have a chance to return it or you decide to keep it.

From our legal department

"The site does not specify 4 or 8 GB models; however, it does show 4GB, because the 8GB’s do not come in blue, green, etc. Only the 4GB does. Therefore, he received what we advertised. Second, we apologize for the wrong color. The vendor may have shipped an alternate color because supply for the black was exhausted due to the Christmas season. If he would like, we will allow him to exchange the blue for a black iPod, but will not give him an 8GB instead of the 4GB."

It does indeed say 8G Nano... so what now... Molly? Any ideas? Again, I still have the receipt and it is still sealed. Again, I did a ton of replacement offers so have earned the 8G Nano. I'm sure you guys could check your records to verify this.

Secondly, when you go to candycoatedtunes, smack dab in the middle is a picture of the 8G Nano, because it is black, does not have rounded corners like the older black Nanos, and has rounded edges rather than the boxxy edges of the older generation black Nanos...

Thanks for the help, by the way.

04-01-2007 17:53:26

I-Deal's legal team is apparently not aware that with 2nd gen Nanos, you can get an 8gb in any color you want, as long as it's black. )

In other words, Molly, Apple only makes a black Nano in 8GB. There are no 4GB black models, nor is 8GB available in anything but black.

The image above from the I-Deal offer page includes a Black 2nd Generation Nano, front and center, which would imply the 8GB model is available. The legal team might want to be made aware of it, as they could be accused of false advertising. ;)

unknown uchiha

04-01-2007 18:01:41

The 8GB is also available in Product (RED)

I will be happy with a Red, Blue, Green, or Black Nano tomorrow. Anything but Pink and Silver =/

mistertomlinson

04-01-2007 18:45:53

Well, I think it's only fair that I get the black 8GB Nano as advertised! As dmorris68 said, the black 2nd Generation Nano (as pictured in the center on the site) ONLY COMES in 8GB. It is clearly a picture of the 2nd Generation Nano 8GB. It also says above "Get your completely remastered 8GB iPod nano," which not only states 8GB, but states "remastered" iPod, which suggests these are all [b98c4f272c8]2nd generation iPod nanos[/b98c4f272c8] and as said earlier, the black 2nd generation only comes in 8GB.

So, again, I still have the receipt and the iPod is sealed. You know how to contact me if you would like to keep this private. D

04-01-2007 19:39:12

My bad, didn't realize the special edition (RED) model came in 8GB too. But still, none of the standard Nano's do, and the point being made was that they're advertising the black one when black ONLY comes in 8GB.

I'm having a bit of an issue with a the last check that I just received from I-deal and wanted to see if anyone else had experience the same thing. I got a $2k check from MarketLabs for the washer/dryer site. I deposited it the evening of the 12/31. Knowing it was new years eve I didn't expect all of the money until tuesday or so. Come tuesday nothing, and there is a wierd hold placed on the check. The hold said that a letter has been issued to me stating what the reason for the hold was and such. Since I'm not currently at my address where the letter has been sent to I won't see it for a couple weeks still. So I called the bank and all the guy could tell me is that it wouldn't be released until Wednesday 12/10. This is a bit ridiculous if you ask me. I've never had an issue with the funds not being available from a Freebie site, but this could be a first. Sucks because I need that money for money to pay for alot of stuff. I don't know what the deal is though? Maybe if Molly is around she could chime in and explain what the problem might be. Has anyone else had something like this happen with their recent i-deal check or is it just me?

Of course communication was poor, but with just a few employees working for them I guess it's a bit understanding.[/quote1e2bd08d0a]

but to get back on topic - you may want to find out if the bank's problem is with webclients/i-deal or with you or your account. if you haven't had the account long, that could be one of the reasons.

this is the first i've heard of any lengthy hold on a check. from personal experience, i received a $2k check from i-deal for yourchoicerewards in august and i had access to the money right away. but in my case, i've had my account for over 25 years.

A few weeks ago I deposited a check from NT for $2K for the site that my mom did. The banker really looked it over and kind of frowned. But haven't heard from her that it was held up. Any big checks like that the banks really look into because of the whole nigerian scam thing. Banks are looking out for you and don't want you to get scammed.

paulleywaulley

05-01-2007 11:20:12

DRay my comment about not depending on checks for things was made based on not depending on getting them by a certain date. Once you do have a check in your hands it should be as good as cash if it is coming from a company. As of monday when I'll need the money it will have been over a week since I first deposited the check. That is just a bit ridiculous. I should have just cashed the check and gotten the money. I've never had problems with any past checks from any companies before, just found it kind of odd.

I love how you are always trying to dig up past comments from people and use the comments against them to try to make that person look bad. Looks like it didn't workout for you this time, get over yourself.

dmorris68

05-01-2007 11:34:32

Well, Jan 2nd was also a federal holiday due to the observance of President Ford's death, so the banks were probably closed that day too.

Virtually all banks have a policy to place holds on large checks drawn on non-local banks. My bank has a policy that says the first $100 will be available immediately, with the rest on hold up to 10 days. However the bank has discretion and if you're a known, established customer, they often won't place the hold. Personally I've not had to worry about holds on a long time because not only have I been with this bank for years, but my wife used to work there. )

However most tellers will place a hold on any sizable deposit of non-certified funds when it's a relatively new account or unknown customer. It's routine and should be nothing to worry about.

DRay9911

05-01-2007 11:54:43

i didn't need to dig the comment up, you said it on sunday.

as far as making you look bad, you do enough of a good job of that on your own (remember the repeating offer discussion and your temp ban?).

if you think the check should be as good as cash if it's coming from a company, take it up with your bank. there are reasons why they don't just automatically let people walk with 2 grand. you could have always taken it to a check cashing place and let them take their percentage.

i did my best to help you out, take the advice or leave it.

I have my own opinion about all of that repeating business, but I'm not going to talk about it anymore. Just drop it dude, and quit bringing up the past.

Still waiting =/ I want my 2nd Gen Nano and nothing less. The site offers a 2nd Gen "Completely Remastered" (the tagline for the 2nd Gen Nanos) Nano and it is what they should have sent me, not some crappy last-year's model that isn't even advertised on the site.

http//quantcast.com/

http//quantcast.com/consumersavingcenter.com

Says on that site (ConsumerSavingCenter, one of the most popular ones), over 1 million unique visitors per month (apparently at one point in late july, around 225,000 visitors in one day!)!

O4F ManOfIce (A3F) told me I should pop over here and post.

I've had a problem with the DeckOutYouDeck site, and no one has been answering my messages since the end of November. I signed up and completed all of the offers the night I registered (10/10). I've been told that a lot of folks here and on A4F had problems then as well.

I then waited, and no offers went green. On Nov. 12 I contacted the help, and "Kate" replied back on the 13th asking what offers I had done. I immediately replied, and she told me on the 18th that I had to send in credit card bills, utility bill, confirmation emails, etc. because there had been a problem. I sent all of that, and since then have heard nothing back. I tried to email (3 times) to find out status, and no one has replied. Then after 60 days from my signup, I got a message when trying to check status that said my time had expired.

I'm hoping that someone can help me out - I did everything as specified on the site, and followed all instructions after there was a problem, so I can't understand why nothing has been done. She said it could take 4-6 weeks for things to be processed, but I'm fairly certain others have said that they were still able to log in and check their status during that time. Now, the site says the offer is gone... can you help me out?

Thank you for your time!

Quick I-deal question. From your experience, if you complete an offer on one page (gold) and then it show pending on a different page (platinum), will it eventually show approved where it is currently pending or will it show in the correct category? I want to complete more offers but I feel like I am guessing as to which page that I need to do the offers on. thanks

YMMV, obviously. And don't compare I-Deal to the regular referral based sites -- lots of big-ticket DIY sites are notoriously slow to ship, so I-Deal isn't alone there.

Personally I agree with bruman -- I-Deal has been awfully good to me, and to a lot of other folks here as well. We always have the relative few folks who continue to bash I-Deal, yet when a new low-requirement site appears, people trample all over each other to get into a conga.

It's certainly true that their levels of service and support can be quite inconsistent and frustrating at times, but ultimately they come through more often than not, and will remain on my list of favorite freebie sites as well.

you can do it yourself just ask your tax preparer the information you will need. I belive just showing market value for the gift. Just ask your tax accountant dont ask in the forums. You might end up being sorry.

Some people have been waiting since Sept or Oct for their stuff. I'm slightly ahead of you on waiting on the ideal site that you are approved for since I was confirmed in early december. Just sit back and relax. No use getting too anxious about it. I know that I got screamed at on another site for asking if anyone knew about ideal shipments since I haven't waited as long as everyone else had there.

I did the washer/dryer site and certificates were approved on December 13, still waiting patiently on my reward. Anyway, I checked my status page yesterday and my status on the offers that I completed is now listed as "expired". And now it says click here to complete more offers BUT still says certificates were approved on Dec 13 and wait 6-8 weeks for gift to arrive. Should I get overly worried about this, or does this just happen when they take a long time to ship?

I know Molly is MIA but certainly this question will appeal to the masses as well. I actually got an email back from a I-Deals cs rep regarding manual offer credit. In it they said

"We do not guarentee that a user will receive credit for an offer. We reserve the right to refuse credit for a variety of reasons...(list of reasons)...Manual credits are offers that are credited through mailing confirmation of completion."

Now, this clearly states that manual credits are possible. It further outlines the process and required documentation for manual credits in the Terms of Service on the site.

The next email I got said this

"The advertisers are the ONLY people that can mark you complete; we do not have the ability to issue you manual credit. It is AGAINST our policy." (Emphasis by cs rep, not me).

Now, I really don't expect to get anywhere with them on this (I've already completed a replacement offer just in case). So my question is simply, how can they get away with such fraud and blatant contradication?

People....don't get into ideal or even start an ideal site without know what you're getting into.

There is NO phone support

There is no magical CSR that will do manual credits

When you start an ideal site, you start it knowing you won't get manual credit

You start the site knowing that if offers don't credit, you do more

If the offer didn't credit...you think they'll bend over backwards to give you 800 bucks? I don't think so.

While I don't know the answer to your specific question if you need to you can go to their bank (if they use a national bank that has a branch in your area) and exchange the check for a bank check that won't expire. Worst case is that it will cost you $3.00 or so. People do this all the time to change checks into guaranteed funds.

I won't ask why it matters because I don't need to know.

As has been discussed many times, yes you can complete as many different I-Deal sites and DBA's as you want. However there is a limit of $1000 total payout per 6-months per DBA. So if you get a plasma from one DBA, you'll hit the $1K limit or thereabouts, and have to wait 6 months to complete another site run by the same DBA. And you can never repeat the same site, unless perhaps it changes DBA's (unconfirmed, but I've heard it was possible if the DBA changes).

PlasmaTV4Free is run by MarketLabs, and SleekNewPhones is run by Red Turtle, so you can do both simultaneously provided you complete different offers, of course.

That's typical for I-Deal customer service. Yet they're still extremely popular, because they almost aways pay out, and pay out big. I completed 4 of their sites last year and was very pleased overall. Personally I'd rather do an I-Deal site than just about any other DIY out there.

DOYD was from Red Turtle IIRC. You can repeat DBA's though, you just can't get more than $1000 from each DBA within six months. If it's been more than six months, you can get another $1000 from that same DBA (but not the same site). DOYD has been over six months for me.

Yeah the site is dead but expect them to re-activate it. The domain was renewed and is good until 17 June 2008. And I don't think it expired much more than 6 months ago, because Molly and I were still discussing the site in December and it wasn't expired then, and I received my check sometime in February I think. IIRC I checked the site several times while waiting for the check to see if my status had changed, and never saw it expired.

Strange Goings On!

I did sleeknewlaptops and my certs were delivered June 9th.
My niece did consumerdirectsavings (same DBA as SNL) and her certs were delivered June 15th.
My daughter did techygadget and her certs were delivered June 28th.

The techgadget account, the last one delivered, went processed last night (July 16th) but the other two are still unprocessed.

Questions

Do the different DBA's have different mail forwarding patterns and schedules to Ideal?

Are there specific employees at Ideal that work on specific DBA accounts, meaning one could be severly backlogged while another could be much more current?

I'm trying to understand how this out of synch processing could occur while still giving Ideal the benefit of the doubt by not assuming the unprocessed certs fell in a black hole.

Your account has been put on hold because you have violated the following rule from our terms and conditions

You may sign-up with each of our advertisers one time every six (6) months. Once you have successfully completed an advertiser's offer you are prohibited from signing up for that offer, as well as any other offer sponsored by that advertiser for six (6) months.

Anyone run into this issue before? I know that my daughter has not signed up for any sponsor offers ever. How can she be processed and then put on hold?

You can prepare documentation with screen shots of credit cards and whatnot to try to fight, but I don't think anyone has ever been taken off hold, ever, by i-Deal.

Talk to Armstrong, he fought and lost, but maybe he can give you pointers on what to send in.

Are you certain that you and your daughter

1. Used different addresses and names for all offers and the site signup
2. Did not share a credit card when completing offers

If either or both of those are true, and you both completed some of the same offers, it will appear as though you've tried to duplicate and would thus go on hold. You can try to plead your case if you have documentation to back everything up, but it's somewhat doubtful at this point that you'll get them to reverse the hold.

She's in CA now but her bank account was still registered at our home address in MN. Although the credit cards are different, it may be that the same address was used for an offer because it was necessary that the address match the billing address for the credit card. Boy would that be a rip off. We aren't even doing our programs through the same DBA for crying out loud.

I was in love with Ideal until this. If it means that both of our accounts will be put on hold and that neither of us gets our laptops and we have no recourse even though we didn't do anything wrong, I consider that blatant breach of contract.

The other site has not been put on hold yet, but is in the "limited time expiration" state while I'm waiting to be processed. Will I even know if they put that one of hold by a status change?

You can't blame I-Deal for that. I-Deal wouldn't know that you used the same address until the advertisers deny/revoke credit. The advertisers are the ones who catch that, and report back to I-Deal. The one-per-household rule is a basic condition of just about ANY freebie site offers.

If a person violates the TOS, they are SOL...fair enough. If it only appears they have, they should have recourse to rectify the situation. It is bad enough that Ideal doesn't honor their own TOS in regards to offer approval. But at least someone can just do another offer. But for them to "convict" a person of violating the TOS based simply on an "accusation" without giving that person their "day in court", is unjust to the extreem and, really, is very arbitrary. What is to stop Ideal from claiming a violation of the TOS without ANY justification, in other words, just because they don't want to give someone a gift? If there is no forum where Ideal has to provide evidence of a violation and the customer has the opportunity to rebute that evidence, then there is no oversight and the customer can be taken advantage of. This is a very unethical way to do business.

I have dealt with "incentivized marketing" firms before. I personally have three laptops from other, non-ideal, programs. One of these programs went out of business while I was waiting for my laptop but still honored everyone's gift who had completed the program. With another one I had a problem with offer approval and all kinds of W9 problems, but they had superior, proactive customer service and worked with us to sort out the issues and eventually delivered the laptop. The thrid pulled off without a hitch, thankfully. The point is that these other companies understood that the TOS was a contract which had elements that both of us had to uphold. When there seemed to be discrepancies and violations, they provided me with recourse, and substantial recourse at that, to straighten out the problem. They were very customer focused. Ideal is a far cry from these reputable companies. Unless, of course, they respond to my letter. Then I will take it all back. But I am not encouraged by what I have heard so far.

does that mean the ones i did on the 2nd should approve tomorrow and the rest a few days later. someone told me they should of all approved today though. god i hope not Sad

You wanna be successful with i-Deal? Read the FAQ, don't bug support, and be patient. Take screen shots of your stuff, keep copies for you, and just do exactly as the terms say. It can be a little confusing at first, but it's not hard at all.

Some have asked whether you can repeat the same [i76698851a9]domain[/i76698851a9] but different promotion (config).

Doesn't matter. Use the link on the status page, since the e-mail often never comes. That's probably why they started putting the link there -- it used to NOT be there and you had to wait for the e-mail or get the link from somebody else (redemption links for a given promotion are the same for everybody, they are not unique to your account).

To answer this question for the zillionth time

You can do as many different I-Deal sites as you like, however there is a $1000 limit per six months per DBA, so if you're going to do them simultaneously, make sure they're different DBA's. I-Deal typically has multiple plasma sites and multiple laptop sites, so if you look around that shouldn't be a big problem.

Also make sure you can legitimately complete that many offers at once. Since all I-Deal sites generally offer the exact same offers at any given time, doing three sites simultaneously can be tough to do without fraud, if you've been active in freebies at all. It's usually best to take some time between sites, because their offers change over time and they frequently introduce new ones.

Am I already done going green on round one and need to do more offers or do you thin 2 more might green on the 20 day mark. I know most people take the 20 days before any go green? So I am wondering do I wait it out and keep my total $$$ spend to under $20 and maybe not get anymore greens anyway or just bite the bullet and do 2 more and hope for a very fast I-Deal turn time? Any thoughts from people familiar with recent I-Deal turn times. Thank you

it is www.shoppersavingcenter.com for a laptop. 10 offers and no referral. I started it last tuesday under the presumption I would be waiting until mid sept for approval. But the kid in me has had me checking a few times already and last night when I checked I had 8/10 approved. So my inquiring mind wants to know if I go for 2 more hoping they approve in 24hr or wait out the rest of the 20 days and hope 2 more go? Like I said it has been almost a year since I have done an I-Deal site, I was in that first group that did CSC during the Superbowl '06 for those who remember that Plasma TV nightmare. Well anyway that is it.

Do 2 more. The two that didn't credit... what pages didn't credit? If two on page one didn't credit then they would have to wait the whole cycle again (7 days)

Does that mean you may only recieve 1 gift valued at 1,000 or more from any Ideal site or from any DBA.

It only applies per DBA so you would be fine

Here is what you don't want
Direct 2 consumer - free plasma in june
Direct 2 consumer - free laptop in September

The above you would be limited to only $1000 between the two which would suck

What you can do

Direct 2 consumer - free plasma in june

Thanks that is what i was thinking. SO here is another thing.

in there terms it says one account per house hold but it also says if there are multiple users at one address they should share an account, so to me its saying i could sign up and do an offer and since i dont have any more offers to do have my roomate or spouse or anyone else over the age of 18 living at that address do the remaining offers, and the gift would come to me.

I believe the TOS doesn't allow it but I know people who have done it and were fine.

dmorris68

30-08-2007 05:30:26

The TOS is a bit confusing. It seems to clearly state that you cannot complete offers by the same company, but they do not enforce that. At least two different I-Deal reps have told me specifically that you CAN complete any offers you wish, you just cannot duplicate the SAME offer. Once they told me that, I started doing multiple offers by the same company, and I never had a problem getting my gift.

skooter22c

30-08-2007 06:40:03

It seems to be a gray area if you ask me. Techincally it is 2 seperate offers just through the same network, much like doing two different I-Deal sites at once. Not sure why they would put them both on the site if you can't do them both. If I can do the Bargain Network it is the last one I have that I can do that is free so I want to but Ialso don't want to through away what has been a smooth process so far. But if you have done it dmorris68 maybe I will try it.

maverik

01-09-2007 12:35:09

An I-deal question for the forums vets. again, I'm seeing tons of their sites that have like a $1000 'Victoria Secret Gift Card', Vegas trip, 'Free Cell phone service for a year' & so forth. My question is, is it actually a Gift Card to at&t, victoria secrets...etc. Or is it a check? Or maybe it's a generic visa. Please let me know. Thanx guys.

dmorris68

01-09-2007 13:26:57

There's really no guarantees. They are known to send both the promised items, and checks, and sometimes some of each. Often the trips are really just VISA GC's that can be used for anything. But if it says a Victoria's Secret GC, then that may be what you get. Something like free cellphone service for a year would most likely be either check or VISA/MC card.

I see I'm not the only one getting no response at all from CS requests. I mailed my certificate in for a laptop on Aug 18. No change in my status on the web site. A buddy of mine sent his in on Aug 23, and his status changed on Sept 5. I've used the web-contact form several times with no response. My requests have been polite and succinct.

What's the timeline for anyones certificate to get acknowledged?

I took the advice from the Ideal stick FAQ thread to mail it with simply a stamp, no certified, no confirmation, etc.etc. I thought there was some 15 day deadline, but I can't find that in the T&C now. My certificate says it was good through October 5.

This is frustrating at best. I've been e-mailing via the web-form for the last week and a half, 5 in all. No response whatsoever, not even an automated response. I've left two phone messages, though I figure that's a waste of time. I mailed my certificates on 8/18. A buddy sent his on 8/23, his status changed on 9/5. I just want to know IF they got them? Do I need to re-send them?

How do you other guys garner a response from these people?

I have fulfilled all their requirements, and I can't even get a response. I've been very polite so far. I honestly don't want to PM someone whom I have had no prior contact, but geez, this is ridiculous.

BTW, my email is naked no spam filtering, so that's not the problem.

This happened to my friend because he didn't know the images didn't work, so he refreshed the page and it said he already printed it. He e-mailed support and they said to fill out a W-9 and print off a copy of the e-mail from them as verification, then send that in. He just wrote that he wanted the Samsung on the e-mail he printed off.

Wow people... I'll say it again

Don't start or do an ideal site until you know everything, just read all the prvious ideal topics... if you did you would have known the images don't show up and would have known not to refresh it or to go back.

There is no phone support.

You must wait for CS to respond to you and do what they say, probably fill out a w9 and mail it to them.

have to be honest. i would not have looked for a thread or post where images don't come up. why would i think they wouldn't?

i've done other sites and have had no problems.

on top of that, there is no way i could have sorted through 39 pages to find an obscure post.

i will take my case to CS.

dmorris68

They will send you what they send you. Sometimes it doesn't match up to their description -- I've seen them ship both better and worse than expected products. Their TOS reserves the right to substitute product, so you really won't have a legal leg to stand on.

They used to advertise Panasonic Plasma HDTV's but shipped a ton of us Panasonic EDTV monitors with no speakers or tuner. I didn't mind it too much as I didn't intend to use the built-in tuner or speakers and honestly the EDTV looks quite good for regular TV watching. But others made all sorts of threats, which came to nothing of course. I'm still quite happy with my plasma that cost me less than $50, regardless of whether it was less than promised.

In other words, I'd suggest you take what you get and be glad you got it.

$680? I'm assuming you meant $480, and actually I doubt he would get that. I have a feeling they would DQ you from any payout on the $1200 site. That's just my hunch though, don't consider it gospel. Submit a support ticket and ask.

The only sure way I know of to exceed $1000 within 6 months from one DBA is to get it all in one gift. So you can get a $1200 check or a $1500 TV, but that's it. I'm pretty sure they don't allow you to just get the balance of $480 in your case.

Okay fellows. Anybody been having problems cashing their Ideal rewards checks lately? Mine was issued for getyourfreerewards.com and dated 9/27/07 and the wonderful people at Wachovia(their bank) would not cash it. They said it was neither good nor bad try back tomorrow. WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN? We are talking about a 1300 dollar check that the bank implied Ideal screwed up, they let me know the funds were there but they couldn't give me any. And Ideal support being what it is.......what do I do now? Run to the bank everyday seeing if my check has magically turned good? Please someone have run into this problem before or anyone with advice please send some my way.

No it would get returned from my bank as well. They said even if I tried to deposit it in my bank as it currently stands the check would not be paid. It would just be returned to my bank as no good and I would have to go through small claims to get the money. They basically said someone or something at ideal is not right with the check and as it stands wachovia would pay nothing towards it me nor my bank.

Thank You M
You seem to have some understanding as to why I didn't go try to deposit it at my bank. The odd part was first they said it was already paid, then a duplicate, then that there was something that ideal needed to do to be able to cash the check wasn't done. The lady at the bank said the funds are available so thats not an issue its something to do with the check and how the company issued it. I was just wondering if anyone else was having issues like maybe the accounting for month end wasn't completed or something. I know I left the bank more confused than confident. They said it might be just fine to cash tomorrow but not today and of course its something ideal needs to handle.

dmorris68

04-10-2007 17:38:49

Sounds like total BS to me, unless it was a one-off mistake. Many MANY of us have deposited I-Deal checks and I have never lionceli heard of anybody having a problem with them -- believe me, it would have been posted by now. So either yours is an isolated case, or somebody at Wachovia is being stupid. Since I take it you don't bank there, they may be suspicious of you for some reason, and are just making up a story to keep from cashing the check. I would deposit it in my own bank if I were you.

manOFice

Yep, i deposited a check a few weeks ago and it's fine, no questions asked at BOA.

bgarmon

04-10-2007 18:16:35

I have the same thoughts but the lady at Wachovia did say they may have to issue another check so it sounds like an isolated thing but who do I go through to find out what the problem is. Wachovia said it was Ideal's end that had the problem and there was nothing that they could do. But if I did deposit it in my bank and it was returned which would have happened if I had deposited it two days ago when I first got it, the check would have been returned as no good and I would have to file a claim in small claims court for the funds. So something isn't adding up. I have payroll and accounting background and it sounds as though its either they used a check number twice or some kind of error in there accounting system. My mom has an account with wachovia so I'm gonna sign it to her and have her deposit it in her wahcovia account tomorrow and see what happens. I'm gonna try that before depositing in my Suntrust account, then dealing with them having a bad check. I emailed ideal and left a voicemail, so if it is their mistake hopefully they will give me a response tomorrow. I really think its an isolated incident but has anyone else received a check dated 9/27 or later and tried to do anything with it?

dmorris68

04-10-2007 18:51:51

A duplicate check number shouldn't prevent it from being honored -- check numbers are used strictly for your tracking & accounting purposes. While banks can specify certain minimum requirements for a check in their contract with you, if they don't specifically prohibit it, then legally you could write a check on a paper napkin. As long as you provided all the proper account information, it's a legal instrument. Finding a teller willing to accept it might be a challenge, but the point here is that the check number should not be a factor.

http//www.bankrate.com/brm/news/chk/20010320a.asp?prodtype=bank

Perhaps they had a printing error on the check with regards to the account number or something, but I don't why the bank wouldn't just tell you that. To be all "mysterious" and say it's some unknown problem "on I-Deal's end" is highly suspicious to me. If the account number is valid, if the funds in the account are sufficient to cover it, and unless there is a stop-payment order or something initiated by I-Deal, then I can't imagine a legitimate scenario to explain your bank's claim.

bgarmon

04-10-2007 19:39:10

Thats why I am as confused as you. First the lady said it was already paid. I asked when? Then it was a duplicate check. Then it was a problem with I-deal that could be cleared up tomorrow by them doing something???? Basically they said to try and contact ideal. There best guess was they didn't do something or someone was out sick. But it ended up just being stupid. I mean I can scan the check show you guys what it looks like but its a normal I-deal check. She eventually said the check wasn't bad or good just something that I-deal hadn't done to allow them to cash it. If I was really trying to forge a check and was in the bank you think they would let me leave? I think not. She said the funds were more than fine. She said come back tomorrow morning and try again.

Yeah what happened??[/quote0bc85e314c]

No, as far as I know I didn't get DQ'ed. It says I was processed on Sept 24th... I think i know what caused the invalid though. I used a different email address on the offer than what I signed up on Ideal with, because my ISP was having email problems for 3 DAYS. I guess the advertiser didnt want to credit them for it, so they marked it invalid. Wasted $40 on an offer because of that crap.

Well back from the same bank and teller and not one question today. I didn't even go inside( I have Muscular Dystrophy and have trouble getting around) my dad went in for me because he was there yesterday to make sure I didn't fall or anything. He asked the same lady and before she even looked at the check said sure I will cash it, but still maintained it was a computer problem with ideal yesterday(bullshit), because I-deal came through in flying colors. They said the check was prefect and if I had any problems call this number while at the bank. And no I will not disclose this number to anyone nor will I ever use it, so please don't ask. All I can say is I-deal gets an A+ in my my book and Wachovia gets an F-U.

You typically get a denial letter. And if your DQ was due to no fault of your own after you correctly completed your own requirements (for example, your referral screws up or doesn't complete on time) then you will usually get a consolation check too. They sent me $100 when they DQ'd me for my ref's TOS violation.

[quote9ec59d0d1c="06pontiac"]Why do they DQ if your ref fucks up too? Man, screw that.[/quote9ec59d0d1c]
Because you didn't complete the requirements. If the requirements state that you must complete X offers AND get Y refs to do the same, then if your ref is DQ'd, you failed to complete the requirements. With the 60 day timeline, it's virtually impossible to find another ref to complete on time.

Now if you recruit extra, backup refs, you might be okay if at least the minimum required refs make it through, but it's hard enough getting the minimum required refs to complete their offers successfully. I doubt there's many folks lining up extra refs.

Not really a question, just thought I'd share.

I got approved today for an ideal site where I had to transfer credits from the bestrewardsaround NYC Trip site, plus I had to get help with credit for the gold offers glitch. Everything went as smooth as can be and customer service was fantastic and (dare I say) even friendly.

Everything happened just like they said they would.

16-11-2007 19:47:50

So I might just be dumb...

I did a laptop from shopperssavingcenter.com....but they changed the deal to plasma's (and a phone if you go through the error link but I dont know whats up with that).

I had already been approved and sent my forms, they were signed for and i got the return receipt for them...so they should be processing

I dont want to annoy CS by emailing them, so does anyone have any idea if I should be worried that I cant check my status or just trust that things will go through? Guess I should have checked the renewal date on the site (which I'm assuming was up)...hope I didnt get screwed.

Edit Got the direct status link from a friend (name excluded) ... THANKS!

My status is still there, so maybe I'm alright -- they're just being quite slow in flipping from approved to confirmed to ship compared to what I've seen in the past

21-11-2007 15:05:46

hmm.. maybe they are now going with the fact that ALL of their sites are i-deal direct, instead of just DBAs.

Which would mean six months in between every i-deal site (approx. 2 a year)

I guess we'll have to wait for a few more reports to see for sure...

It makes sense though.. I'm sure the ones that they are losing money on are the ones that do multiple i-deal sites, and the ones that they make money on do only 1.. so it makes sense to restrict those who do more.

I'm still wondering if all these new rules are a result of the josh clark million dollar conga, as this all occurred about the same time.

It should be updated after they process you. Once you are processed, you usually get an email saying that you are processed. Then from there it will take like 6-8 weeks for them to ship your gift, sometimes sooner, sometimes longer but usually right in the middle.

You look in their ToS where it says to send the certs to. It seems that IDEAL is DQ'ing everyone that has received over 1K from ANY DBA within the last 6 months. I guess they figure they are all 1 company. Someone above here posted that a little ways up.

Their policy may have changed recently, in which case I'd think you'd see a change in TOS, but I have been told in [id9e1853d6a]no uncertain terms[/id9e1853d6a] by an I-Deal rep that the 6 month policy applies to DBA's and not across all of I-Deal. They specifically said you could do as many simultaneous I-Deal sites as you wanted, as long as that you didn't commit offer fraud and they were different DBA's.

So until I see a lot of folks being DQ'd the same way, I'd thing that this was a mistake, a misunderstanding, a technical glitch, a new CS rep, etc., and not indicative of a real policy change or violation. Then again, the e-mail gotcha is only newly enforced, and not in every site's TOS, so they may be "forcing" breakage by tweaking the terms or at least their enforcement of them.

Hey all. Been gone for a while. I got dq'ed on three I-Deal sites but in the long run, even though I think they are technically wrong, it was my fault for not being thorough enough in how I did offers and managed things. So, lesson learned.

But, is I-Deal ok to have other first timers do right now, or is there some dust that needs to settle before we can be sure they are going to be solvent? I just read the last few pages and it has me worried.

It' been over 4 weeks for me since I sent in my certs. I emailed them and they gave me the same old response..."Please be aware that it may take 3-4 weeks from the date you mail your redemption certificate for it to be received, reviewed and processed by our fulfillment department." So who knows what's going on...I don't see how we are going to know when we are processed until they fix the silly glitch!?

Ugh. I hope that's not true, but these days I find it hard to believe anything good about I-Deal.

I've sent two sets of certs for UltimatePlasmas. The first set was sent mid-October, the second I sent w/delivery confirmation and it arrived on the 29th of October. I still haven't been processed at [b85c249d3b5]all[/b85c249d3b5] for that site. roll

This is such nonsense.

first time poster, long term lurker here

i heard ideal is having difficulty with its gold pages, especially with the sleeknewlaptop site.

For myself, for both pinklaptop4free and genius genie (the 6 offer plasma sites), I have received credited for all my offers on the silver and platinum pages.

However, its been 2+ weeks and all my gold rewards are still "pending." I have ~3.5 weeks before both of my accounts expire, and I am slightly worried.

What should i do next? Replacement offers? Email them and ask what's going on? any other suggestions?

mookieb2

01-12-2007 11:53:01

Email them, play dumb, and ask them if they can help you with the gold offers or if there is anything you can do to finish up the site.

Be polite and nice. the gold problem is across all of their site and you have to contact them, to find out if you've gone approved.

I also mailed in my certs a few weeks back and haven't heard anything. I sent them regular mail. Is it okay to send certs Certified Mail to I-Deal? I tried to send with Delivery Confirmation but the post office said the envelope had to be 3/4" thick

It was for the bestrewardsaaround $1,200 site that got cancelled. I switched the credits from it to an airline ticket site and have been contacting customer service about the gold glitch and the credit transfer and they could not have been more helpful.

I guess I got lucky that way, but I didn't really bug them or send a bunchof support tickets or anything. (Not saying that you did Army). I've just noticed that when we are nice and polite, they tend to help better.

Hopefully you guys will get processed soon as well.

It's been a little over 5 weeks since I sent in my certificate for consumersavingcenter. I already wrote them telling them that it's been over 4 weeks and all I got was a generic email saying that it takes 3-4 weeks (even though my 3-4 week period was up)...now, today my account shows that it is expired. Since I already wrote them last week I'm afraid to write them again and get them mad. How will I know if I've ever been processed now that I cannot check my status? Is it now to the point where I just have to cross my fingers and wait for it to show up at my door a month or two from now?

Well, they wrote back with the same generic response...

"Please be aware that it may take 3-4 weeks from the date you mail your
redemption certificate for it to be received, reviewed and processed by
our fulfillment department.

Please also be advised that your account may show as being expired
after 60 days from the time you registered. If you have already printed
and mailed your certificate this will not effect you. You will still
receive your gift despite your account being expired.

If it has been longer than 4 weeks since you have mailed your
certificate, please contact us back."

No, legitamently done offers being revoke has no basis on you doing another one with no reason, you have a right to one. This is being done to everyone. what if they are not instant or 7 days but they changed it to 20 days? gold is not working anyway so why did you do them? If it was gold that you did again. should have asked them those question before giving them your money. Funny if in the end they put you on hold and wouldnt be surprised if that happed.

Michae is right. All you are doing is being their tool. I was approved for 3 weeks then I went back to "Need to meet the requirements" NONE of my offers changed, they are all still approved.


I feel that this "gold glitch" was a set up to now do this, saying that the sponsors have not reported back to them. I am going to the BBB if I do not get processed. I got the same "you still need to complete the requirements" from them today in my email which is bullshit.

process can take up to 4 weeks.

My account expires in 4 weeks! What is this extra "approval period"? Is this normal?

I was approved and my account went expired yesterday, I received 2 emails today from them .... the first is concerning my status being expired here is what they said....

You have been approved by the sponsor(s). Your redemption certificate was
processed on Oct 23 2007 436PM. Your free gift will be mailed out within 6
to 8 weeks of the processing date.

-- Thank you.



second email i received about an hour later....

Sponsors report to us that you completed their offer. This will generally take up to 4 weeks, depending on the sponsor. We do not guarantee that a user will receive credit for an offer.

We are not responsible for delays in reporting offer completion or failure to receive offer credit. The time it takes to receive credit varies greatly.

Your account status reflects the information that was reported to us by our sponsors. If you are seeing an offer switching from approved to pending, then you have not been approved by that sponsor and we suggest completing a replacement offer before your 60 days are up.

Thank you,

Customer Service

I sent them an email last night asking for a more updated response on my account status. Here is what they said

"The gold offer you completed was reported back to us as unapproved, please
complete a replacement and let me know when it's approved and I'll sent you
a new redemption link."

I'll take that answer. I did another offer, then I should get my redemption link today. I'm guessing they were processing me and there was a problem so they had to reverse that offer (even though it seems as it is bullshit, I dont care...I just want my gift).

Oh and ive never heard of them telling me that they will give me the redemption link, they were really nice about it ) BUT, they told me to let them know when it is approved, even though there is the gold glitch. shrug

I hope my offer goes though.

and maybe a few more

Should we start a new thread for the I-Deal revoked offers and keep them updated in the OP? I'd be happy to do it, I just dunno if it should be kept here. I'm going to assume because you posted the first part of the list this is the type of thing is OK to be posted here.

I just don't want it lost in the clutter.

So - looking for an expert opinion. My neice was confirmed way back in July and sent in her certs. She didn't change to processed for about 8 weeks so she emailed and they led her through the manual processing dance. No problem there. She went processed on Oct 12th. With all probs going on, a) should she worry that she may not get her gift at all, and b) should she expect it within the 8 weeks (by next week) or assume nothing will get sent out until next year? Thanks.

Need opinion.

Im doing Freelawntractor.com and sleeknewlaptops.com and on my freelawntractor site 2 silver offers and 2 platinum offers got revoked. Along with the gold offers that had the glitch for the past month.
Sleeknewlaptops is still processing my certs. im coming up on the 5th week mark since ive sent them. I contacted them and they said please allow them more time because of thanksgiving.

Well. since its 1 gift per ideal now, should i just give up on freelawntractors and doing the 4 or 6 replacement offers. And just hope for sleeknewlaptops to come through?

If I were you, instead of doing the replacement offers, stick with the one that you are more sure of since you are most likely going to get DQed on one of the sites for the "2 gift rule"

06-12-2007 16:33:57

So the 2 gift rule, I emailed mygiveawaycentral about it and was told "as long as you only use 1 email address and 1 physical address with MGC you are fine.... hopefully I have that in my back pocket if they try to DQ me because I received a gift in early October from bestrewardsaround. It will be almost 6 months before I receive this one anyway I'm gonna guess.

Does this mean I really have to do two more friggin offers? After nearly a month of being processed?

Should I wait it out and see if my status gets switched back? I was running out of offers as it was!

I'm trying not to get pissed off, but it's getting harder and harder.

So I am having a problem. My referral on freelawntractor was denied (mind you I was approved since end of october)
BTW this was his first diy and he has never done any of these offers before. So i don't understand why he was denied.

So now ideal says there sending me a $50 check. I cant refer someone since theybe closed the site. What do you guys recommend I do. Is there any way he can get out of being "on hold". has anyone ever succeeded?

Honestly I think I will be filing a lawsuit if they don't clear things up. At least give me half of what the amount was. I mean that seems fair considering they are not allowing me to refer anyone else and my account isnt expired.

Any Advice?
Thanks for your help

Weird just checked my account and it says im approved and my free gift will be sent out 6-8 weeks im so confused!

Why was your referral DQ'ed? What did he do wrong? I've seen plenty of people here fail on a site due to their stupid referral not following through. Odds are against you my friend for having him be removed from the hold.

But if you wanna take action and you receive a 50 dollar check don't cash it.

yeah they did. Also, it is so worth doing a replacement than not getting your gift whether they were right or not. it is just one more offer. Think about it, i bet you still would have done the site anyways if it required one more offer.

It is worth it when you get your gift.

Congrats on getting your link back.

Serious Question here. How can I fight Ideal in this situation. I have never completed and Ideal sites until I finished the lawntractor site, I'm still waiting on my link then I should be ok.

The problem is with sleeknewlaptops. This was my most recent attempt at another Ideal gift, I finished the offers printed my certs and mailed them. I checked my status the other day and I get this message.

Your account has been put on hold because you have violated the following rule from our terms and conditions

In a six month period, each household may qualify for and receive (a) multiple promotional items with a total value of , or (b) one (1) promotional item with a value that exceeds . A household may qualify for and receive each promotional item one (1) time.

Note inquiries via email or telephone will not be responded to. Only correspondence sent to this address will get a response.

Mind you, this is only the second Ideal site I've attempted. I used the same email, and address and everything. I know that they were different dba's because many have done both, and sent my certs to two separate places. What kind of action can I take? If I can take action I will, and will keep everyone updated with the progress.

Thanks.

That are the ToS for the Macbook. I have done best rewards around (DCI) but I have never done highspeed media before so I [ua78671b58d][ia78671b58d]SHOULD[/ia78671b58d][/ua78671b58d] be fine. Also the Best rewards ToS do not have any similar stipulation about same email address.

I see nothing about one gift/6 months for Ideal. Unless Highspeed Media is the parent company of Ideal, Highspeed Media would be a subsidiary and thus the ToS shouldn't be able to control/influence another Ideal site.

i.e. I signed up for a no referral site and now it says it requires two for me on the offers and ToS pages. There is however no place on the profile page to send referral links.

I'm really curious about the $1000 rule across all I-deal sites. Fbskiracer makes a very valid and logical point but unfortunately I-deal isn't always logical and valid in their thinking. Who has been DQ'ed because of this "new" rule?

fbskiracer

09-12-2007 10:11:32

Foty lots of people are but not many have been DQ'ed YET to my understanding we're all waiting on it.

cannmj --> we'll see but there is always small claims court.

The issue will be does the statement need to be on both sites or are they going to merge all the DBA's to one. For that matter why do they have all the DBA's it makes it more complicated it would seem. I guess we'll have to see.

if you send something certified, the person you are sending it to has to sign for it. when you send it certified, you also receive a tracking number you can look up on usps.com

you can also spend an extra buck or so for the return receipt option - where you get the green card back in the mail.

there has never been an issue with certificates that require a signature. the mail isn't forwarded anywhere, someone associated with the site actually comes to pick it up.

What would you guys suggest I do...it's been 6 weeks now since I sent in my cert and my account still says it's expired. My last email I wrote them was last week when my account expired and I told them my account expired and I had not been processed yet. They responded with the generic..."it takes 2-4 weeks to be processed...blah, blah, blah"...should I write them a 4th email or should I just wait for them to write me on their own? I guess I'm afraid to get them mad at me and ruin my chances, but if I need to do something extra I don't want to mess that up either. I haven't received any bad emails from them yet saying that I must redo offers so should I just sit tight?

Their Terms says to wait 5 business days for them to respond. If it has been longer than that, send another one stating that oyu have already attempted to contact them.

I'm wondering if I should file the bbb complaint on Inner Concepts. Inc or ESolutions Media.net, Inc.

Inner Concepts, Inc was the dba under Sleeknewlaptops. Thats who I sent my certificate and w-9 to.

When they changed it it Slicknewlaptops which what it is currently the dba is ESolutions Media.Net, Inc

Does I-deal go green all at once or do they trickle in over the course of the 7th day? I only went green on 2/10 and I have NEVER had a problem on their stuff before. This could be bad. I even did an extra offer. One of the ones that went green is a gold offer too. I wonder if they intentionally glitched something else.

I mean in the last 50 offers I did I only needed one manual credit on gadget city.

They closed sleeknewlaptops.com Now its slicknewlaptops.com. But since I completed the freelawntractor.com site it has the same dba as the new slicknewlaptops.com site.

When I signed up for both they were different. The only thing I can think of is that they changed there terms, and it got me dq'd with slicknewlaptops.com when they changed the name.

misscrystal

12-12-2007 22:35:07

I have a theory about the people being on hold for "invalid" refs.

The gold glitch caused a lot of people to expire, even though 100% of their offers had previously been approved.

As a result, some people may have been placed on hold when their refs "expired" due to the glitch.

I know this theory doesn't fit everyone's situations, but it's a thought =/

It wouldn't hurt to try and send a (nice) email to them trying to get things sorted.

RolltheStampede

13-12-2007 07:13:29

the refferral where showing up despite the gold glitches. the invalid refferal was most like do to credits being reversed and the refferal not finishing the site again.

shawnese

13-12-2007 10:12:04

The last post I made got deleted. My account expired because of the gold glitch. I kept getting generic e-mail responses, that kept telling me to do more offers in the gold section. Then one of my approved offers went back to pending, and I never got a chance to fix it because my time expired, even after someone in customer service told me I still had time to fix it. I did so many replacements, before I found out they had a gold problem...I think it's really unfair, but not much I can do about it. I have e-mailed them many times, but I don't think I will hear anything back other than they can't do anything because I'm expired.

RolltheStampede

13-12-2007 12:54:52

Alright, I'm fed up with I-deal! They just make me sick! They are trying every way to get out of their commitments! They finally sent me an email by the way after the fact that my mother's account (my referral) has expired with this...

"Your referral did not complete all of his offers and therefore you are
entitled to a $50 gift card for completing your offers per our terms
and
conditions."

It just doesn't make sense to me...now that my mother's account has finally expired and she can't do anything about redoing offers, they send me this email. They didn't even give her time to complete the "reversed offers" before her account expired! I have to fight this!

[ba95a026c74]I have a problem. [/ba95a026c74]

I'm signed up for two different I-Deal sites, using two different emails. Of course, I did this before things went nuts, but in the past I'd always done this and nothing had ever happened.

Out of sheer luck, I managed to only use one email address for each DBA (I don't know if that makes any difference).

Considering that I-Deal seems to be DQ'ing people for both emails and getting more than one gift across all I-Deal sites, I'm worried about whether I should go ahead and send off my certs for the second site.

What should I do?

As much as I want to say, them processing the forms instantly is awesome. Ideal has NEVER done this. and with the supposed "glitches" I am left wondering if though it says we are "processed" that we actually are not. They aren't even currently sending gifts out... just giving excuses.

16-12-2007 07:57:11

so my account expires tuesday the 18th and for some reason I only went green on 2/11 of the offers I did for the macbook pro. Should I do a few more offers so I have email proof (i think 2-3 didn't send emails) in hopes of them manually processing my whole account? I don't know if the crediting cycle changed or not, but I dont expect them to go green at this rate. These are the first offers I ever had not credit. I am really surprised because I never did these before. I even did the restaurant.com $40 up front offer one time thing and that didn't credit. Thats why I think there is a bigger problem.

Heads up on I Deal. Check out what's been happening on the joshclark.com forum. Everybody that signed up for the Macbook Pro deal got screwed - received $600 checks after MAJOR headaches - Gold offers reverting to pending. offers never crediting, etc.

I Deal just quoted its TOS WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SUBSTITUTE THE Laptop WITH A GIFT OF EQUAL OR LESSER VALUE DUE TO INTERNAL INVENTORY STOCK. THIS SUBSTITUTION MAY INCLUDE MONETARY COMPENSATION EQUAL TO THE VALUE OF THE ACTUAL Laptop. THE DETERMINATION OF THE ACTUAL VALUE OF THE GIFT ITEM WILL BE AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF MYGIVEAWAYCENTRAL.COM. DECISIONS BY MYGIVEAWAYCENTRAL.COM REGARDING THE VALUE OF THE GIFT AND/OR SUITABLE ALTERNATIVE GIFTS ARE FINAL.

A really crappy way to go. People that signed up for a Plasma- some are getting checks $700-$800 and seem OK with it, but the MBPro folks are quite upset. During the ordeal, the item they signed up for disappeared off the site, didn't appear on the certifications, or even if it did, I Deal just lowballed everybody.

[quoted37a863901="zr2152"][quoted37a863901="bilybrown"]and why is that exactly. You mean to tell me that ideal wasn't equipped to deal with that much traffic...or that much traffic coming from people who intended to see it through to get their gift. what a joke of a comment.[/quoted37a863901]

Wow. I can tell where you came from. Yes, they can handle that much traffic but also, you all commit obvious fraud, requiring them to have the "glitches" they did. So back off son. I have seen numerous post of people saying "oh my replacement offer didnt credit the next day so I called right away and cancelled" No wonder the freebie scene is going down the shitter.

Yeah, I said it.[/quoted37a863901]

I've been out of town for a few weeks and found a $900 check in the mail from consumersavingcenter! I was wondering what everyone else is doing with their checks? Are you guys cashing them right away or fighting for the correct amount that your free gift should have cost?

I know I couldn't buy the Phillips LCD that I was supposed to get with just $900. I would fight them for more money, but I'm wondering if it is worth the time. Plus I'm worried that they may cancel the check on me before I'm through with them or perhaps they'll go bankrupt in the process. Beerman gave me some good advice (thanks by the way), but I thought I'd ask all of you before I proceed!

Ack! I just got this e-mail from 2 different I-deal sites, webrewardscentral and mytrendygiftcard.com. They are different DBAs, and I never repeat offers and always use the same email. They were both for $500 gift cards. I'm very sad now. (
Why would this happen to me? I always follow the rules!

Dude, you guys got paid. Yes, you got $500 in place of a Sony VAIO. But you know what?

1. It's better than nothing
2. Their T&C states that they have the right to replace your gift at any time without any reason.
3. It sucks, but refer to #1.

I've taken a $500 check in lieu of a more expensive laptop option in the past simply because it was cash. I'm not complaining =P

Besides, I-Deal has done nothing but miracles for me in the past =]

Yea but you never removed the vaio, or introduced a new product, all you did was send me a check worth half of the item I selected in hopes I be happy enough. You never changed your website indicating there was no real product change. You also never introduced a new product (aka a $500 check)and failed to alert me of any changes in incentive.

In your own words in the letter that accompanied my check you stated that the reason you sent the check was to expedite the handling of our incentives. So obviously you are not covered by your TOS. I'm not dumb and I assuming you aren't either. Save us some time and just pay up. The cheapest vaio is 900 on amazon.com and you already sent me $500.

It does not say that anywhere in your TOS so I never agreed to those terms. The TOS stated the gift that I selected would be sent to me with free shipping. You failed to do so, istead you sent a check roughly half the value of the gift. Another give away is that you required a w-9 form, indicating that the value of the gift was over $600 and then sent me a gift less than that amount. We can resolve this now or I am going to mail out my small claim forms this week. I have copies of the tos and the website, I also have all my CS emails and so on. Please just do the right thing and save us some trouble.

So I actually got a response for my letter to MarketLab's legal department, and was told that I got DQ'd because I didn't give correct credit card information to Scholastic. That's the most bizarre thing I've ever heard, I love Scholastic and buy books from them all the time, with a very valid credit card which they have no problem charging. I told them I can show them my credit card statements, but I assume that it won't do any good, I don't think they want to give me the $1000 they owe me no matter what...
It's really weird, though, has anyone else had an experience like that?

Since the slew of checks right before Christmas, has anyone gotten a check or gift from i-Deal? I was confirmed the week before Christmas and it still shows approved, but I was just wondering if anyone got a gift from i-Deal.

Send them your CC statement with your name on it, highlighting the charge from the scholastic offer... can't get more blunt than that.

Oh ok, thank you. I remember a ton of checks right before Christmas (and fast turnaround too, like about a week or so), but haven't heard anybody that's gotten processed since like a week before Christmas to get a check. Good to know I-Deal's still sending out some checks.

Yeah, I was surprised that they got back to me, and when I told them I'd submit billing statements they wrote me again

Our decision was based solely on reports from Scholastic and we can do nothing more in that regards.



The reported behavior is in direct violation of our terms and we regret to inform you that your accounts with both Market Labs.net sites will not be released from their holds.



Best Regards,



Market Labs.net Legal Department

So I guess I'm outta luck. Does this mean I can't do another I-deal site, or just marketlabs.net? Not that I'm in a hurry to mess with Ideal for a while, they're a real pain in the butt, but they did deliver on that mygiveawaycentral $1000 Visa before Christmas, so maybe someday...

take them to the the BBB. or if that is true you could probobyl Sue Scholastic.
Im sure sending information about your credit card has to be a violation of a privacy policy or some.

I don't know Market Labs has been the shadiest of the bunch of ideal sites to me.

I wouldn't want to sue Scholastic, I'm a regular customer of theirs and I've had no problems with their service or anything, plus the marketlabs privacy policy says they can share payment information with their affiliate sites.
I wouldn't be so mad if my credit card actually didn't work, but it did and that means that they got (or made up) false information about me.

I just did a NT offer (Silkies tights) and the page said I had to agree to i-deal direct's privacy policy, then it said "powered by marketlabs" when i was finished... weird, so they watch you when you do offers for other company's sites? It's creepy, 'cause I don't want to have anything to do with them anymore.

You just said it. Market Labs hosts a bunch of offers including Scholastic, At Home Rewards, etc. That is why, before you order on these offers, you have to accept the Market Labs.net privacy policy. MarketLabs is an affiliate company as well as a DBA.

My 1099 was for $2500, which is about $500 too high. All of my I-Deal gifts were checks! I'm guessing they counted the real value of the plasma tv I should have gotten rather than the $800 check I actually received.

I just got my $900 check from ideal this year, if they try to screw me on taxes next year, they're going to be in trouble for tax fraud. Are you people who only received checks going to try to get it straightened out? I can see how they can inflated prices of gifts, but obviously not checks.

i signed up for a site on january 5th, so i have 30 or so days left.

i don't want to get started if all of the offers aren't going to credit.

I started a prize center site on jan 14th, did all 8 offers in one sitting, 6 out of the 8 credited on the 24th (10 day credit), none of my golds were approved but that was my fault since I did stamps which rarely credits, and Internet career kit which the confirmation page never loaded. Did two more offers and had to wait another 10 days and got credit for both yesterday, printed out my certs and I'm about to leave for the post office now.

Can someone please explain I-deals TOS to me? I have been doing I-deal sites for the last two years, and have always been able to do more than one site at a time or within the 6 month timeframe. For example, say I did a bullseye media and at the same time I was doing e-solutions. Are these still the same terms? I seen a post on another fourm that said that the terms have changed, that you can no longer do multiple sites and must wait 6 months...is this now true?

I don't know the answer to your question, but what I do know is that they were looking for every excuse to put people's accounts on hold not too long ago. So, whatever you do, proceed with caution.

At 12 am last night my 6 last page offers credited, however the first two pages (2 offers each) have not. I'm wondering if any of you guys are aware of a page glitch or page specific crediting cycles (both have occurred in the past). Has anyone had pages credit at different times lately?

I just found this one, seems decent 6 offers for $250 shopping GC and $250 restaurant GC, plus can get $25 Visa GC if you complete the one offer on page one. It's the best I've seen of IDeal lately, I think most $500 GC's need a ref now. I would do it but I just did the 6 offer plasma, and the way they've been going I'm afraid I would get DQ'ed.

Just a shot in the dark, but I'd try sending a letter to the address in the Terms. Explain your situation, give them all you information (e-mail, name, address, phone #, the gift you did) so they can get ahold of you and find your information, and ask them to call or e-mail you. I don't know what you really can do. Maybe mention a call to the BBB or whoever in your letter will get them moving, or at least make contact with you. Did that site require a ref that may have screwed up?

The exact same thing happened to me, I was confirmed for 2 gift cards, and when I contacted them months later wondering about where my gifts were they said I was on hold... After writing to their legal dept, they finally gave me a reason, but it was complete bs. They said that I gave false credit card info to Scholastic, which is not true as I am still a Scholastic customer and they have never had any problems with using my credit card... I never got my gifts and they told me I would not get taken off hold, even though I offered to show them my credit card statements proving Scholastic had been successfully charging me. I think they either made it up or put the wrong person on hold. BTW, was it a Market Labs site that DQ'd you?

targetman39

19-02-2008 18:35:29

Yeah, i dont know what to do. i am currently sending them another letter to there legal department stating that i will contacting the BBB and i emailed them several times and also called them and left messages on their answer machine and nothing yet. If i file a complaint to the BBB i wonder if they will do anything, considering how somebody said they dont care, and i can see that as being true, because i went to the BBB's site and looked up ideal and it shows all of there complaints that were never resolved including Direct to Consumer Interactive, INC. its just a bunch of crap, i have completed numerous freebie sites and a few brandarama sites and NEVER had any issues like this at all, i always got my gift.

I think there is some risk when doing these sites that you may not receive your gift if they run out of cash or find a way to disqualify. That being said the only way I was able to get a gift from freegiftworld a few years back was after I filed with the BBB they did not care I filed a small claims suit and had them served. I got my gift 42 days later. Depends on how much time you have on your hands. With how busy I am now I would have prob figured I have made 10k in the last few years and just write off the $150 I spent doing the site as a risk. Again is up to you but if you fight Ideal I think you will have to sue them.

I signed up for the ps3 + madden site. I've completed 4 offers but need to do the 4 on the platinum page. I know this site has a sixty day time limit from start to finish. I'm gonna try to do the other 4 offers tonight, but if I can't will that hurt my chances of finishing the site? What's the latest I can do the offers and not have my account expire on me?

I expect your thread was closed because asking for specific DIY gift sites is against the rules, as noted in the Announcement sticky at the very top of the DIY forum.

Help-I have a question. I did an ideal sight for $1000.00 gift card. It was confirmed to ship 12/28/07. Finally emailed them because I never got the card after 2 months. The response they sent back to me was product sent 1/25/08. Has anyone ever experienced this with them before? Will I get the gift card do you think?

I've been considering doing some i-deal sites, since some have had luck lately. I don't know what would get me to do a +1 site...$200+/offer?...whatever it is it sounds like it must be pretty good! Do you mind sharing?

RolltheStampede

26-02-2008 13:21:37

you wont get 200 an offer you wont even get 100 an offer.

the best gidt out right now is a macbook air.
it is 12+2

all the others are 12+1
the best deal there is either a 1000 gift card or a hdtv. but they have been sending 900 or so for that so who know.

there is also a 1500 gift card for 12+2.

Considering that they give 1600 for a macbook pro not sure if the air would fetch the whole 1799.

there might be a 1200 gift card for 12+1 but i dont think so.

best bet now is 12+1 for 1000 or 8 for 500.

Yeah and the offer never credited. Sometimes this happens with the new offers that they put up. This is why it is advised that you click on an offer, wait for it to show up in your click history, then go back and do the actual offer.

Ditto. Always have your status window open and refresh it after you click an offer. Sometimes you have to wait a few minutes for it to pop up.

So if I were getting back in the game now would be a bad time for Ideal. (

To answer the other question I will not do an ideal referral site again. I had 3 people lined up to be my referral last time and they all backed out. Time ran out and that was that.

I'm still a little hesitant to do I-deal myself. I have received some decent gifts from them in the past though...before they got unreliable. People have gotten gifts recently though, so things are starting to look up! You may be having a problem with the browser you are using, your computer settings, cookies, etc... I use IE6 and rarely ever miss a credit and I've done tons. I've heard that IE6 is better than IE7, but it may just be a rumor. Also make sure you you don't have anything extra added to your tool bar such as yahoo tool bar, it seems to block pop ups.

Have you checked out the crediting guide on this forum, this may help you out a bit.

I have had an extremely hard time getting replacement offers completed as well. I have done well over 5 additional offers (for several offers that didn't credit) and NONE of them credited. I guess I will give up as the site is about to expire. I have emailed them various times and keep getting the response that they can't guarantee that a user will get credit. I think it's ridiculous that we can't get credit for offers even when we do multiple extra ones. Is there anything else we can do?

I mailed my forms on the 7th for eatandshoponus and Ideal received them on the tenth but I am still not processed, My certs expire on the 28th, and I wanted to know should I re-mail them or wait it out since I know for a fact they received my first set.

did you send them delivery confirmation? I always do so that i know they got them. It's rare that they dont get them but it wouldnt hurt in resending them. They won't DQ you for that...at least they shouldnt.

Then resending it wont help. Just wait it out and keep making sure that you check your account status just to make sure that they dont "reverse" any of your offers.

From what Im reading here, Ideal is not so Ideal as far as crediting goes. I know other forums/blogs Ive read people have actually gotten their tv's without much problem. Are these issues with crediting new with Ideal? If I can get my referrals in time, what are the chances I'll see a tv? Ive gotten approved for 7 of my 12 offers (since March 5th) so far. Dont they do manual credits? Please let me know what you all think. Maybe I should just quit now. [/b5036958340]

I would attempt to get your referrals before completing any more offers.

26-03-2008 15:12:14

if you are 7/12, i wouldn't quit. just cross your fingers you receive credit for any replacement offers. there have been a few posts here regarding replacement offers not crediting.

as far as a referral(s) goes, treat a friend/family member to a couple of dinners and ask them nicely if they can help you out. had you asked about this site prior to starting, all of us would have said to not focus on a site that required referrals.

i could try the bbb[=http//chicago.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Report.aspx?site=46&bbb=0654&firm=51001764l]bbb, but i doubt they could do anything
i could try the illinois AG[=http//www.ag.state.il.us/consumers/filecomplaint.html]illinois AG, maybe i'll make progress there. for anyone getting jerked around, i'd keep the link handy.

considering the reports and numbers we have seen on the number of visitors these big networks are getting, i have a hard time believing me or anyone us here or on any of the other sites are taking money out of anyone's pockets by actually receiving items.

I believe he tried that already and Dell wasn't very helpful either. Which I can't understand -- I know from experience that Dell tracks every service tag (serial#) of every product of theirs. They also have a database of shipping information. They should have no trouble at all tracking this down. Then again they may get bombarded with folks trying to scam some warranty service out of them after finding a monitor in a dumpster, or on eBay or whatever. But if you're giving the same address for the warranty service that they have for the shipping info, I don't see the problem.

As for I-Deal reading the forums, hell yeah they do. They even post here sometimes (although Molly has been scarce lately). I figured everybody knew that already, but I guess we do have a lot of new folks here...

I don't know that they've ever just announced themselves, but they would sometimes directly answer questions about the company or accounts, help folks that were having account problems, etc. And I've had several off-forum conversations with them. Molly and Trish are the two that I've personally dealt with here and at A4F, although I think there was a guy too at one time that I never met. They have been [iced232d747]extremely[/iced232d747] helpful at times getting folks account issues sorted, but then they'll take a hiatus from the forums for some time and won't respond at all. They still check in from time to time, though, even if to lurk. You can see all of Molly's posts with this search link.[=http//forum.freeipodguide.com/search.php?search_author=ContactMolly]this search link.

Which is why it's a good idea to watch what you say. By all means when you have a legitimate complaint, post it. Just try to be mature and professional about it. Forum(s) often give the impression that we're just a bunch of demanding, ungrateful, professional hobbyists out to milk every drop we can out of them -- it's no secret that we are their very worst customers from a business model standpoint. So the more you can do to appear reasonable with your concerns, even when they don't appear to be reasonable in return, the better off we'll appear as a whole -- which will benefit everyone.

I don't want to appear as an I-Deal apologist, because yeah, they can be very quirky sometimes. But in all honestly I've had nothing but good luck with them. And Molly was responsible for a good deal of that, so it's hard for me to be too critical.

[quoteced232d747="zr2152"]Yes. There was an Ideal rep here, Molly, but she is just about gone at the moment.[/quoteced232d747]

Absolutely, a lot more than most people think. ;) Aside from the obvious smaller site owners that originated here and at A4F, most of the bigger ref sites have, or have had in the past, official reps that hang out here. Trainn-Alan helps a lot of Trainn customers out here, for example. Gratis/Freepay used to have a very active presence here, and OC was represented at one time years ago as well.

As far as DIY, I-Deal is the only one I recall being open about it. Although I'm quite positive that YFD, Nuitech, et al are well aware of the freebie forums and most likely lurk on occasion, I'm not aware of them announcing themselves.

Oh yea, that has to be true, or they wouldn't have changed their rules like they did. Especially with people posting crediting cycles, and how to cancel offers and the like. Could be why YFD is denying manual credit for a certain offer. wink

it would become a mess if they had their own thread/section of the forum. it was a mess when they were here the first time. too many questions, not enough answers. people who got their questions answered were happy while there were plenty of people who got ignored. too many "_____ i sent you a pm ;o)" posts.

they have a hard enough time keeping their own house in order, they don't need to be coming in here again unless they can stick around for a consistent period of time and help everyone (not just those they have a preference for).

and i would have said that even if they hadn't crapped their pants handling my problem.

We ALL HAVE to do something about this crediting issue. They are getting paid for our offers, yet they are not crediting our account. What are our options? I did 5 replacement offers that never credited.

when did you do your replacements, what site was it for, and has it been 30 days?

i did my first replacements on 3/9 and it hasn't credited yet. I sent an email saying how i saw the tracking cookie, yet didn't receive credit and they told me to wait 30 days. Right now i'm at day 21, so 9 more days till i complain (or maybe a nice surprise if it credits actually haha)

I hope so, but I doubt it. I think they are just ignoring the real problem and mindlessly quoting the TOS.

And let's say it is 30 days for a replacement to credit... if one of your replacements DOESN'T credit (and there is a decent chance that one of them won't with i-deal's below-average crediting (after all, this is the reason most have to complete a "REPLACEMENT" in the first place)) then you're screwed because you'll have to wait another 30 days and your account will be expired. Doesn't seem very fair to me, especially since I-deal does not openly give manual credit. I really hope they help us.

the site was favoritephonecarrier.com after 30 days I emailed them and they said that can't guarantee credit for an offer...blah blah blah...i hope yours does credit wiebel - please keep us informed. I guess the only real thing to do is stay away from their sites. I know I was reading another forum about a class action suit....don't know if that has any merit. anyone know about that?

i'm pretty sure i remember reading people receiving items after they had been DQ'd, but has anyone ever successfully been un-DQ'd?

sending it to skippy in legal won't do any good. that whole "legal department" the rep talked about was proably garbage.

i sent very detailed letters (certified) to skippy in legal, fulfillment and "not much in the way of" customer service over at the wacker address asking for help. i also asked if they couldn't help to have the courtesy to contact me by phone, fax, e-mail or letter why they couldn't help me. not only could the peckers not help me, they never contacted me. when i e-mailed asking for help i got the pud making minimum wage who couldn't even come up with a believeable lie.

you could try 'contactus@expertcustomerservice.com' (ironic), but don't expect much from someone still working on their GED (yes, i'm referring to you).

[quotef5790bf3a8="dmorris68"][quotef5790bf3a8="ashilef"]Nope didn't know that, I just joined a little bit ago. How did you guys know it was I-deal? Did they announce themselves on the board or what?[/quotef5790bf3a8]
I don't know that they've ever just announced themselves, but they would sometimes directly answer questions about the company or accounts, help folks that were having account problems, etc. And I've had several off-forum conversations with them. Molly and Trish are the two that I've personally dealt with here and at A4F, although I think there was a guy too at one time that I never met. They have been [if5790bf3a8]extremely[/if5790bf3a8] helpful at times getting folks account issues sorted, but then they'll take a hiatus from the forums for some time and won't respond at all. They still check in from time to time, though, even if to lurk. You can see all of Molly's posts with this search link.[=http//forum.freeipodguide.com/search.php?search_author=ContactMolly]this search link.

Which is why it's a good idea to watch what you say. By all means when you have a legitimate complaint, post it. Just try to be mature and professional about it. Forum(s) often give the impression that we're just a bunch of demanding, ungrateful, professional hobbyists out to milk every drop we can out of them -- it's no secret that we are their very worst customers from a business model standpoint. So the more you can do to appear reasonable with your concerns, even when they don't appear to be reasonable in return, the better off we'll appear as a whole -- which will benefit everyone.

I don't want to appear as an I-Deal apologist, because yeah, they can be very quirky sometimes. But in all honestly I've had nothing but good luck with them. And Molly was responsible for a good deal of that, so it's hard for me to be too critical.

[quotef5790bf3a8="zr2152"]Yes. There was an Ideal rep here, Molly, but she is just about gone at the moment.[/quotef5790bf3a8]
She's not actively posting, but she's not gone. ;)

/waves to Molly[/quotef5790bf3a8]


Trish and Molly are the only ones who have made themselves visibly known to the public, any other I-Deal employees have remained in the shadows.

From my experience in dealing with them, they are especially aggressive and very unpleasant to deal with. I do have my suspicions on one member being an I-Deal rep but have since lost their username and information (this was over one year ago).

Hi, I apologize if this has been brought up...I don't believe it's been directly brought up, but has I-Deal changed their policy so that if you've received in excess of $600 worth of gifts on ANY i-deal site, that you cannot complete another i-deal site for 6 months? I've done sites from BullsEye, 123 Click, and MarketLabs, but I put in my email address for a Top Notch Media site, and it said I was not qualified.

dmorris68

11-04-2008 05:47:02

They sometimes tweak their TOS, or start/stop selectively enforcing specific terms, but the last official word I had (directly from a rep) was that you could do $1000 per DBA per six months. If you're doing different DBA's each time, you shouldn't be hitting a dollar limit, unless the terms have changed recently.

i guess ideal is sending them out anyways


i completed all the offers for freelawntractor, i printed out the forms and sent them, but never heard back from them. a few days later ,their gold glitch happened and some of the offers went back to 'incomplete'. i did some offers again, but before they could go approve, it expired.

i sent them numerous emails...mostly bitching. now many months later, i have this hugee red tractor on the side of my house. i hope no one steals it. i cant move it anywhere since it wont fit in the side door to the back. i need to sell this baby

I have a question for everyone. Is I-deal still reliable? I haven't seen many positive posts looking over the pages. I got three gifts from them last year but its been more than six months since I have done any sites so I'm kinda out of the loop. If I-deal isn't reliable do you guys know if YDF or Nuitech is still any good? I've been waiting 8 months or so on Brandarama for my last gifts.

dmorris68

14-04-2008 14:07:37

I-Deal is hit & miss, as usual. From what I'm seeing, they seem to be doing pretty well again lately with crediting on reasonable cycles, but gone are the great $1000+ 6-8 offer sites that used to be plentiful. Now you're looking at 8 offers for $500 AFAIK. $50 per offer still isn't a bad deal if you get a good crediting site. OTOH be wary of their TOS changes -- they have been DQ'ing people for signing up with a different e-mail than they used on other sites, which makes people like me nervous now (I created a new e-mail for each freebie site and network, so they already have several e-mails for me). If you only ever used one e-mail you should be good, but if not then you'd be advised to request CS approval before starting a site.

YFD and Nuitech have always been reliable, I think. YFD still has OOD's on most (but not all) of their sites and take 90 days minimum to ship, while Nuitech recently lifted then reinstated their no-cancellation rule (I think a max of two offers can be canceled before end of trial, or 60 days, or whatever it is), but they've always shipped fast. So either are legit, reliable sites as long as their offers and terms are agreeable to you.

I've said this before but it bears repeating install PrimoPDF or any other free PDF printer driver. Whenever you print certs, receipts from offers, etc., print to a PDF file. That way you can print a cert on your printer as many times as you like and not have to worry about printer problems screwing it up. I-Deal won't let you print certs again. They used to, and just branded it as a re-print on the page, but now they won't allow you to re-print at all (or didn't last I knew).

Just send in what you have, I don't think the certs are a big deal anyway. If your identifying information is readable, they should be fine. If not, just open a support ticket explaining the situation and ask for manual processing. But I'd just send them what you have. Maybe include a note of explanation. But honestly there has been something wrong with virtually ever I-Deal cert I've ever printed -- usually broken images and no barcode. They still worked.

Is this Ideal? Does it look like a good deal (lol)?[/quote6275a0e4ac]
Yes it appears to be I-Deal, but not only is it 12+2, but the specs on that plasma absolutely suck. Could be from an old web template, but if they attempt to buy (or send a check) for a 1024x768 plasma, you'll get a fairly poor value for the effort involved. I don't even think they still make 1024x768 plasmas, that's not full 720p HD, nor is even it a 169 format.

WOW!!! i was doing eatandshoponus and only 4/6 of my offers credited, I emailed them and they sent the "default" response every time, I BASICALLY gave up even after I did a replcement offer that never credited!! Then today I went to check and still only 4/6 credited BUTT on the bottom of the page it said "YOU QUALIFIED" i was like "WTF" I couldnt believe my eyes, I had totally given up and if I didnt scroll all the way down I would never of found it. So 4/6 offers sit as credit but I qualified finally! anyways just wanted to share that with you guys

They probably manually verified his missing credit. From what I've been told, CSR's cannot manually change an offer to Approved in their system, but they can verify the credits and approve the whole account. That's why you can have an approved account but still show individual offers as approved. It's happened with me at least once, and I know with others too.

after coming to the final conclusion they were going be ultra petty about it and sit on what i needed like a mother hen protecting her eggs, i made the decision to ship my monitor out to a company out in houston to get repaired.

it went out 2 mondays ago and it came back today, fired up right away and looks great. even though the desktop became my secondary system after i got my laptop last july, it's nice to have handy. the only problem i've noticed is the side/rear usb inputs don't work (damaged in the repair), kind of a bummer but i'll trade that off for a working monitor (i have one 4 port hub and may buy a larger one).

after sitting idle for 3.5 months, the computer itself gave me a hard time starting back up. i spent 4 hours spinrite'ing it and everything seems back to normal.

i didn't get a chance to call the company yet, but i'm 99.9% sure it was an inverter that caused the problem. overall it cost me $215, i probably overpaid (shipping back and forth was $55), which i'm fine with on a few levels

1. i did not trust myself to repair it on my own
2. i get my monitor back (dell would have sent a furbished one)
3. it would have cost me 3x that to get a brand new one (i would have bought another 24")
4. $215 plus whatever i spent 2 years ago is still cheaper than what it actually costs

you can now pull down my paperwork from the 'off-site facility' known as the bulletin board and remove the 'under no circumstances send any information from this to him' post it, and file it back away (under M...it's the letter between the L and the N). you can also give each other high-fives and dance around taking pride in the fact you had nothing to do with getting my monitor fixed.

I-deal has still yet to take care of my situation. They keep saying that I didn't register for the site so I won't be getting my gift.

Of course, my email address allowed me to login and completed offers that they will be getting paid for. How could I have completed offers if I was not registered.

The offers page said "This $500 Visa gift card is reserved for zr2152atmessiah.edu"

Meaning, I registered. They are beginning to give me blunt answers like "You did not register for the site. You will not be getting your gift." I hope that my situation turns out like Ilovetoys, when he was on hold and then got a mysterious check at his doorstep.

Once again, there is nothing consistent about I-Deal processing and shipping schedules. I've seen some take as little as a week to ship, others the full 6-8 weeks, still others have waited 12 weeks or more. 6-8 weeks is their standard quote, but it's no guarantee. There's no way to know for sure until it arrives, but once you've gotten far enough to confirmed to ship, then you can feel pretty confident that it will arrive eventually. Keep checking your status, and when it changes to "Will ship shortly" or "within a few days" or something to that effect, it will arrive any day. Sometimes it arrives before that status actually changes, too.

Im not sure how many people visit the other thread, so I'll repost this ..

I was asked to submit a utility bill, but I dont have one. I sent them an email telling them that, and that I could send a copy of my drivers license and some packing slips I recently got after a purchase from amazon and buy.com.

I dont have a cell phone and I live part time in two states, so all my CC info goes to the other state ... the one I'm not currently in. I did all my offers from this state and never did anything from ideal before. I did nothing wrong but we'll see where this goes. Isn't there an ideal rep on these boards ... anyway to contact them? Maybe I can send last years tax return?

As far as my phone goes, I used my aim phoneline number, as that's the only number I have that's actually mine. Should I send a screen capture of that number, as my name is displayed on the top?

I've been approved and processed on treasure-giveaways (Ideal I-phone) site since May 13th. I was hoping that they would wait for the 3G release to ship, but now its been a few weeks since and customer service isn't answering emails.

I'm positive that I will eventually recieve something from them, I guess I'm asking, is there something obvious that I'm missing that would explain the delay besides the fact that it Ideal and they do things on their own time frame?

Thanks for any ideas you may have.

Could be the fact you cannot just walk into an apple store and buy a 3G phone and walk out like you used to do. They require a contract in order to walk out of the store with one. I'm sure they are dealing with those difficulties. It is a pain, I got the new one, took me about 2 days to work out all the crap associated with getting it....

Not sure what the means. Never seen anything like it actually. You might want to contact CS or something and see if you need to complete another offer.

Did that show up after it went approved or did it just credit that way?

I think each site varys. Silver, gold and platinum are usually different, either 1, 7, 10, 15, 20, 30 days are the trends I think I've heard of. Lately they seem to be the quicker though.

They're really starting to turn people off.

They barely give you credit for offers now but then tell u to contact them if you haven't got credit in 30 days. FOR WHAT? u can contact them and still won't get manual credit.

They basically make their own rules now and screw people around at will.

Good link...gotta figure out what DBA it is. Also, if you get DQ'ed on one DBA, are you automatically prohibited from doing any other ones?

Like a lot of other things, I think the correct answer would be "it depends." Being DQ'd doesn't necessary imply you committed fraud or anything else worthy of being banned from their entire network. Depending on the reasons for the DQ, you might even be able to complete the same DBA again.

I-Deal DQ's tend not to work the same as going on "hold" with a referral network that blocks you across all of their sites. Unless you really go out of your way to get on I-Deal's blacklist -- and I've only heard of one or two folks who have done so -- from what I've seen, they're pretty good about letting you try again after a DQ. To be sure, you might try opening a ticket for the site you want to complete, and just ask.

Unless the rule has changed, it's $1000 per DBA per 6 months. So you should be good for another Bullseye DBA if it's been 9 months.

I just signed up for the christmasonus from above. THis is my first time ever doing one of these sites and have never done any offers ever. Is there any offers that I can't do becuase they are by the same company or anything like that so then I won't get credit, or can I do any 8 of the offers, I just dont want to be DQ'd for doing offers that I can't do. Thanks

mookieb2

25-11-2008 09:32:25

You should be fine doing all the offers. Espically saince this is your first attempt.

Heres a few tips that have served me well with Ideal.

Make sure to click on the offers you would like to do for each page then log out without completing them.

Log back in, and see that they are showing up in your status and you should be fine. Also, I like to leave the thank you for your order page up for a few minutes on the browser.

Hope these help.

What is the best way to get in touch with Ideal? They do not respond to emails sent through the Contact Us form on their sites. I completed two sites 2 months ago and sent in forms. Never have been processed. The first one they initially responded to my emails and asked for a W9 for manual processing, which I sent. But I can't get any answers anymore or any gift.

Not sure if you noticed this or not, but make sure to read at the bottom and make sure that it doesn't require a referral. The 500 hundred dollar kmart card is only 6 offers, but you need a referral.

It varies from site to site and from silver, gold, and plat. Some are 1 day, 7 day, 10 day, 20 day, and 30 day. There really is no true pattern but I can tell you for certain that the economy has nothing to do with their crediting pattern.

I know the economy doesnt effect crediting but it might effect how long it takes Ideal to get paid by advertisers. I did favoritecellcarrier if anyone can tell me credit time for them.

If they're webclients customers, then the economy is unlikely to have affected the payments to Ideal.

Wait, doesn't seem right the site owners can advertise??? The site owner of any site can do whatever the heck they want, they pay the bills. Here is no exception -- you think this play operates for free?

Anyway, you've been here since 2005, so I have a hard time believing you weren't aware that we never allow ANY referral link of ANY kind that generates revenue or credit in any way. You can link to sites like that if you want, but only with a general link that contains no referral info or other identifying information.

What is up with that. Anyone have any advice I can tell her? I told her to keep on them, since they are shipping to other people, what are they giving her a hard time? Anyone know if they are behind?

I faxed them my W9 the first time and sent them an email to make sure that they received it all right, and they said that they could read it or something. Don't know how that is possible but I sent it in again a couple days later and it turns out the same day I sent in my 2nd fax I was processed, so maybe sending them a follow up email is the way to go.

[quotee9f54be6c0="sixoneoh"]How does everyone handle the inflated 1099's? If I received checks totaling $1700 and a 1099 that has $1749 listed, what do you do?[/quotee9f54be6c0]
The extra $49 isn't going to make any real difference in your tax liability. I wouldn't bother trying to adjust it, as that could potentially raise red flags or delay processing your return. Not worth it to save a dollar or two, if that much, IMO.

Okay, so I completed an I-deal site back in April. October comes and I fill in my email address and I get a DQ notice. I note the DBA and look for another site of a different DBA. Same DQ notice. I email customer support about once every couple weeks hoping to get an explanation, but no response has come.

Does this mean I'm probably banned from I-deal?

Oh yeah, I also joined another site in between that pays me up to $1.50 to click on different links that go to I-deal sites and fill in my email address and information, so this could maybe be why I'm permanently DQ'd?

Any advice for getting I-deal to listen? I really would like to start another gift about now!

I've spoken about this just as recently as a few posts ago. Im in the same situation, however I received a reply from them and they wrote basically "Heed the warning." Which is to say, do not sign up with another email address and I am disqualified for any further site.

What happened with me was a privacy company I signed up for through ideal removed emails from ideal, but they don't care right now. I was told they can not put me back on the email list and to "read the terms" when I ask them if I can use another email address, i.e. "no."

beammeup4

Yeah, I'm assuming that if they've been ignoring me, it's their way of saying "screw you, you're trying to cheat us and you know it" even though I have no clue if I've done anything wrong.

It's too bad, I really liked i-deal and was hoping to start another gift with them.

IDeal is giving me a headache right now.

They asked me to show proof of my address. It has been a few days since I faxed in an utility bill, and they still haven't updated my account. To make matters worse, they have stopped responding to my inquiries and emails, so I have no idea what the heck is going on rant

Oh true. So you can do as many ideal sites as you want? Does it have to be between a certain period like 6 months or something? Anyone know any other ideal sites besides christmasonus.com and the free ps3 one?

kinneylamb

15-03-2009 04:45:19

you can do several gifts up to $1000, or one gift over $1000 per company, every 6 months. such as bullseye media.

there are no high value ideal sites, the highest ones require a ref (or 2!).

the $500 sites are not that good IMO. if you do more than one, its tiresome. too many purchases and effort to wait for $500 in the mail. better off doing another company.

Me to Customer Service

Hi there. I received my gift cards from EatAndShopOnUs.com yesterday, but was surprised to find that there was no $25 Visa Gift Card included. It was my understanding of the Limited Time Bonus Offer that I would "Complete this offer [Mineral Elements by Eden] & receive a $25 Visa gift card FREE" when I qualified for my gift. Could you please let me know what's going on with this? Thank you!

-------------------

Customer Service to Me


As I am sure you know, or have read on the message boards, the $25 VISA card is handled completely separately and mailed within 4-6 months.


-------------------

Seriously? Because I love to waste my time asking questions I already know the answer to.

Just once. I think wiebelhaus03 is right (and this is kind of what I'm getting at) in saying that what they see (or, at least, have the ability to see) is a broad overview of account activity over all I-Deal sites.

Still, I think a general rule of support is to never assume a certain knowledge level until you are explicitly informed of that knowledge by the user.

sup everyone! haven't been on this site inawhile. Just starting to get back into the DIY sites. Last big prize i got was from plasmatv4free.com. I am pretty sure it was a ideal site, not 100% sure. But i do remember it took about 1 year for me to get my gift. Instead of a check i acutally got my 42in plasma tv. Its really nice sitting at my parents house, i have another one so i gave that one to my parents. But now i am ready to get back into the freebie scene again. Have so much time at work, i saw the best ideal site to my knowledge was the christmasonus deal for 8 offers $750 in gift cards. Just curious how have ppl experience this site? I just signed up and completed all offers. Is it the normal 7 days or 20 day crediting cycle? Also should i be doing replacements after the cycle or wait the full 30 days they say it could take for offers to credit. Thanks yall! good to be back! D

kinneylamb

30-03-2009 17:31:02

most i-deal sites nowadays, they credit as silver 1 day, gold 3/4 days, and platinum 10 days. it's a safe bet that if it doesn't credit, you're gonna need to do a replacement. except the credit offers (report/score, not credit card) seem to take a few extra days so give them some time. several people have received the $750 gift cards from this website, and rather quickly compared to other i-deal sites around. glad to hear your tv still works (lol) and that your parents are enjoying it, that's awesome. good luck )

Oh nice, hopefully I get my gift card. Is it usually signature confirmation? Fedex guy came and left a note on the door. Im at college and my parents work during the day and the closest fedex is a ways away so hopefully I can get it somehow. It had a tracking number and it said it was shipped from Middleton, PA. I-deal is in Camp Hill, PA which is over an hour away from Middleton and my status never changed to ship; it still says 6-8 weeks and confirmed on March 17th so it would only be a little over 2. Hopefully this isn't all just a coincidence and it ends up being something stupid like a book.

They don't change your status when it is shipped, it'll stay confirmed. I can't recall if I needed to sign when I got my GC's. I was thinking I didn't, but could be wrong.

Completed requirements for this group.

I have done replacements for the offers that didn't approve yet. I did HoodiaStarPm, Onlingo, AgeInvisible. I hope these offers actually get approved. I heard that groups with approved status gets the replacement offers credited faster. <---- is that true? I started on April 4 and now it is April 15th. Should i be on the lookout for something more? Also, I forgot which shipping address I had under when i signed up. If i get my order processed and all that, will the company ask me which address i want my gift card to go to.

Back in June, when they had the 6 offer $500, that was my first ideal site, I signed up for some i.d. watchdog site, and it took me off ideals email list. I've sent emails and they reply with "read the rules." In other words, I'm out because they say they can't put my email address back on their list. When I ask for permission to use a different email address, again, I get "read the rules." I was hoping after 6 months it might be fixed, but nope.

that happened to me on another ideal site. i complained that none of the offers approved even tho i bought/tried 8 things, and i didn't get any responses. eventually my account was approved at the same time they approved another site i did. i guess they heard me after all. no garauntees tho. try your best, good luck

IT has happened before. if you didnt sign u for 2 gifts on the same site by accident and are in the wrong status then you will need to use the contact us link on the site to get them to resolve the problem. you should also make sure you have qualified for the first gift or they migth ignore your email and let the time expire

I emailed 123Click because a replacement offer hadn't been approved, then they changed my status to redemption certificate processed. I thought it was a mistake so I did another offer. Then they told me that they had filled out the redemption certificate for me and to expect my gift in 6 to 8 weeks. It probably would have been easier to have just kept doing replacement offers every other day.

Yea Right! Who said you supposed to want every single item.

Where does it say you have to want to do the offer or you must not use a gift card. I can say I don't want an offer I just can't say which ones or how to cancel the offers. READ THE RULES!

III. OFFERS

A. Optional Offers/Survey Pages

(1.) Completion of the optional offers and survey pages is not required to qualify for the reward.

(2.) We may preselect certain offers for you to view. If you are not interested in signing-up for an offer, click “Next” or “Skip.”

(3.) When you select “yes” next to an optional offer, we will transfer some or all of the information you submitted during the website registration process to the applicable advertiser without providing you with another opportunity to review the information.

(4.) When you select “yes” or “no” next to a survey question, we will transfer some or all of the information you submitted during the website registration process to advertisers that we believe may be of interest to you without providing you with another opportunity to review the information.

B. Completion of Reward Offers

(1.) You must provide valid and truthful information when completing an advertiser’s offer. Accounts in violation of this rule will be placed on hold or disqualified.

(2.) Once you have completed an advertiser’s offer, you will not receive credit for that offer, or any other offer sponsored by that advertiser, for six months. For purposes hereof, an “advertiser” generally is the business unit sponsoring the offer, although some advertisers may apply this rule to the entire corporate entity sponsoring the offer. If you have any questions regarding which definition applies, please Contact Us.

(3.) In order to receive credit for completing an offer, you must complete the offer by clicking on the offer from this website. You must click the offer link via our web page in order for us to correctly track and credit your account. Importantly, some applications such as spyware blockers or pop-up blockers may preclude these links from functioning correctly and Top Notch Media, Inc. is not liable for such failures.

(4.) You may apply only once to any given credit card offer. Credit card offers may require you to activate the card by making a purchase, transferring a balance or taking a cash advance.

(5.) You may complete only one Discover Card application toward qualification for the reward.

(6.) For high-speed Internet service offers, you must order and install the high-speed Internet service to complete the offer.

(7.) In order to receive proper credit for completing an offer, you must make sure that your browser settings are set to accept all cookies, and that you click on our exact offer link to get to the offer provider’s website.

Well, considering you said you used a gift card, that IS fraud. Using a gift card means you do not intend to keep the offers after the trial period as there would not be enough funds to cover the auto-ship that most offers do.

Its frowned upon in the industry and your previous thread got locked for a reason.

Also, by using prepaids it means that you do not intent to keep the offers that you signed up for meaning that you are not giving the companies legitimate leads thus leading to IDEAL having bad leads generated from their sites.

This makes their relationship bad with their publishers and hurts the industry and their business.

nygiantzrock

28-06-2009 16:57:57

It may be frowned upon, but if it was as bad as you guys all say it is then they would make it in their t&c for Gc's to be illegal. And also, in my opinion it is not fraud unless it is against the t&c.

Btw, the offer companies can easily not accept prepaid gift cards like netflix, but others intend on getting your money any way possible. I'm not going to lie I've used a prepaid gift card on the last site because I got hundreds in fraud charges on my cc from doing these. You have to admit that these companies aren't reputable and they sell your information to other companies etc so I just did it to protect myself.

Also it doesnt always mean I dont want to keep the offers, if at anytime I did i could always add money to the card.

Gman14

28-06-2009 23:14:32

I would have to say using a gift card CAN be ok in some situations. Example... you sign up for a trial and you are unsure whether you want the service/product or not, but you wouldn't mind signing up for the trial. So you use a gift card. You find out the product/service is great, so you update your billing information to a debit/credit card. In that sense, there's nothing wrong with it. But obviously people use them for other reasons and whatnot.

You can do 2 as long as the total value is no more than $1000, or if they are done 6 months apart.

[quoteecc79ebfae="kinneylamb"]somebody told me you can do 2 gifts as long as they are different, but i never read of anybody doing 2 gifts like that[/quoteecc79ebfae]

you can do as many as you want as long as you dont cross the 1,000 threshold. And they are different promotions. There are several promotions for $500 gift cards which you could do more than one but you could not do the say christmasonus for the 750 gift cards.

You could do Christmas on us for 750 in gft cards, then 6 months later do the 500 gift card though.

You could do 10 of the $100 for 4 offer sites all within the same dba. it would be very smart to do so but you could according to the terms.

there are such an assortment of dbas it just isnt really necessary to even bother repeating the same dba within 6 months.

They only have what maybe 30 creditng offers available at a time anyway?

I did this site on 7/2 and some of my offers just credited 7/12
1 gold, 1 silver and 1 platinum.

In the past, it seemed like all of the offers in a given group credited together. Should I wait it out? I'd rather not do 5 replacement offers if at all possible

Id say you got beat and you should do the replacement offers asap. What offers did you sign up for? I just did the site on the 5th and im waiting for the 15th to see how many of my offers credit. Last time with ideal i got lucky, all offers credited, and it took less than 2 weeks to get my prize D

It will take up to 10 days if the page you did these replacements on has had no offers credit yet. Make sense? If you had offers on the page credit previously, it only takes a day.

I had issues also. I believe I did 13 offers to satisfy 8 when my brother only needed 1 replacement. Annnddd, I was approved on 6/22 and have not received the gift yet. I know not very long but way longer than the last 2 gifts I did for them.

Well at first I had absolutely no offers credit on the gold page I believe, so those replacements took 10 days or so. The replacements where an offer or 2 had credited already on that page, took only a day.

Quadracer89

21-07-2009 14:52:36

Explain how to do the replacement offers? You just click the link to sign up for more offers on the check gift status pop up right?

I did my replacement offers, and still no credit. I emailed them and they told me to wait 30 days =( what to do now? should I sign up for another offer?

I think replacement offers credit sometime during the morning on the day after you do them. That's been my experience, at least.

It seems like they take longer when they're actually processing your forms. Or something. The bottom of my status page has been blank for close to two days now.

No, Platinum takes 10 days or so. Once at least 1 offer is approved and you are short any offers at that point, then do a replacement.

A lot of the sites credit 1, 3/4, 10 days. So the Silver would credit in 1 day, gold in 3/4 days, and platinum in 10 days. If the site you did is on that crediting cycle, then the platinum should credit on the 10th day...so I'd say just wait a day (which I guess would be today).

Zags1199

28-07-2009 14:43:16

You went back and clicked through the Gamefly offer on the IDeal website, right? Assuming that you did, you should receive credit for it sometime tomorrow, most likely in the morning. Replacements credit within 24 hours and typically credit in the morning.

Also, once you click an offer for the first time, the date pending doesn't change even if you click on it again.

From Ideal CS
Given that this is not the case and you are missing 4 offers we are to chalk this up to either user error or not complying with the advertiser’s terms.

Thank you so much for those links. I would have been ecstatic with a 10 offer $1,000, but 8 is unheard of right now. I haven't done a freebie in so long, they had a ton of offers I can do! I plan on knocking both of those sites out. If anyone discovers anymore, please share. I'm not crazy about the notebook site since you don't really know what you might get, so I'd love to find another $1,000 site.

Perhaps this will be a trend for a little while as I'm guessing they aren't pulling in too much revenue from these 12+2s and 8 offer $500 sites.

WTF?! A few of my offers were getting declined for no good reason, so I check my account online to see it was restricted. After calling Capital One, I'm told one of these fuckers is trying to charge me $134 and $64... I've only made it through like 4 offers. I am told it's one of the green tea pills, between the two I tried, but I'm on hold right now to talk to the dirty bastards. The company name is something like Elevated LTD.

So, maybe you guys should skip over the green tea offers.

EDIT LO fuckin' L. I just sit on hold for like 5-10 minutes. There was a recording that kept telling me I was "first in line" until I was finally told "Due to high call volume, my call can't be completed. Call back later."

I'm certain now it was that Green Tea Fit. I believe after I did that offer, every following offer was declined.

Gold credited in 4 days?! Is that normal for an I Deal site? It's been a while since I've done one. Well, then I should have credit in a few hours. )

I don't know if it's it normal or not, but if they give credit, I don't ask too many questions.... Hopefully the Platinums for 7 days.

The Garmin is selling for $200 on Amazon. For i-Deal I really wouldn't bother doing any gift sites (as opposed to gift card sites) unless it's for a laptop or plasma TV.

Question. Last week I only did half the offers (I did 1/1/2 and requirements are 2/2/4). I figured I'd just do the others this week. My silver and gold have credited, so when I do the 2nd ones, will those credit next day? And if I do the platinum now, will they credit 10 days from now, or would it be 10 days from when I did the first two offers? It's kind of confusing, I just wish I would have done them all at once.

I believe if you do your offers now, they will NOT credit in a day, but rather take an entire cycle, so your platinums would take 10 days from the time you complete the 2nd batch, NOT the first.

... and DAMMIT... I don't wanna do replacements! This has me so bugged out. My golds had better be on a 7 day cycle.

yes your silver and gold will be 24 hour credits. Just wait for your two plats to credit, then the rest of your plats will be 24 hours.

I swear, I'm thinking the same thing. I know this is unusual for I Deal, but so is lowering the requirements at this point in time when freebie sites aren't what they used to be.

I know I completed each offer correctly. I actually go the extra mile of clearing my cookies BETWEEN each offer, which means logging BACK into my I Deal account before every offer. I left the confirmation pages open... like clockwork, I did everything by the book and I didn't even get one credit for that page. Another thing the majority of the offers I completed, including the ones that credited on my silver page, used the same card processing method, so I imagine if I was credited for one, I should have been credited for them all, considering I completed them all in the same manner.

Don't bug out just yet, PS600REVX. I think we just gotta wait another day... at least, I hope. I'm at day 6 as well.

I was in contact with I-Deal regarding the email rule.

I used email==1234@whatever.com1234@whatever.com=1234@whatever.com1234@whatever.com/email on an esolutions awhile back. It was my college email and now it is inactive.

I signed up for the 1000 site with email==12345@whatever.com12345@whatever.com=12345@whatever.com12345@whatever.com/email and asked if I would still be allowed to complete it.

I was told no cause I would be violating their terms. Proceed with caution.

If you never did an esolutions site in the past then you can use ANY email address (as long as it is valid).

Yep, Trusted Rewards was a Brandarama site. I "lost" about 3K from those crooks but this is my first site since Brandarama going under so I was pretty happy that Ideal was so quick.

Sorry to beat a dead horse here, but is it general consensus to use a different email with each separate dba as long as all of your other personal info is consistent? Is Ideal allowing that, or are they dq-ing people for more than one email?

You can only use 1 email address per DBA (of course personal information has to be the same). So yes, you can use different email accounts as long as they are on different DBAs.

Ex email==1234@whatever.com1234@whatever.com=1234@whatever.com1234@whatever.com/email on 123 click inc.
email==123456@whatever.com123456@whatever.com=123456@whatever.com123456@whatever.com/email on eSolutions.

The above is acceptable if you don't use email==1234@whatever.com1234@whatever.com=1234@whatever.com1234@whatever.com/email on an eSolutions site after you used it on a 123 click inc. site.

Since no one else wants to contribute to the god damn community (except slambam. Thanks bro.), I'll let everyone know, platinums do credit on day 10. All of mine credited last night for that page. Oddly, neither of my golds credited. So, to remind everyone, the crediting cycle is officially 1, 4, 10.

Hey guys. I have a couple of questions.

I'm working on my first DIY site. The $1000 visa GC from I-Deal. I have a friend helping me out and walking me through the process so that I don't mess up, but that may have already happened.

While I was picking out Silver offers I clicked on every offer to view their terms and conditions. Now, on my status page, all those offers show up as pending under silver offers. My friend says that even if I do those offers on the Gold or Plat page it will still credit as Silver or atleast thats the way it used to work. Is this still the way it is? Should I try to email CS and get them to clear all my pending offers? I'm already limited to offers because I live in CO so this is making it even more difficult.

If the offers are not showing as pending then they are not going to credit. Period (unless they show up on one section and then you complete them on another). The box is a newer addition. I havent done an I-Deal site in over a year now and it is new to me as well.

At that time, I didn't tell you why I was dealing with their legal department for what I thought was an obvious reason - to limit exposure. Now, I'm not telling you because you're a pompous cock. I posted what I did as a warning, and for no other reason than to suggest that my fellow FIPG'ers proceed with caution.

I'm kidding. Well, not about the pompous cock part, but about not providing details. There is history that I'm not going to detail here, but suffice to say that it boils down to the fact that I-Deal claimed their terms intended for 6 months to mean 182 days, I assumed 6 months to mean 180 days. Long story short, based on that assumption I completed an offer 2 days earlier than I was (in I-Deal's view) "allowed" or eligible to, was approved, then immediately placed on hold.

Outcome I-Deal's surprisingly rough frontlines continue to be, in my opinion, rather uninterested in customer satisfaction. However, this is likely attributed to high rated of fraud and the number disgruntled customers they deal with each and every day; looking at the bigger picture I tend to understand.

In the end, I-Deal's management showed a great interest in providing good customer service, and the issue has been resolved amicably.

I forgot some things about Ideal could someone answer these questions

I thought I remembered hearing that you could complete the same offers against after 6 months is that correct?
Also, is it confirmed that if you do a site for 500 and complete it then do another on the same dba for 1000, will you get the full 1000 or not because of the 1000 per dba every 6 months rule?

According to I-Deals terms, yes you can complete the same offer after 6 months of completing it prior.

As for the $1000 DBA rule, if you do a $500 one and then a $1000 one, you will only get another $500 because you cannot go over $1000 on a specific DBA for 6 months.

Ummm... I sent my w-9 and form on Oct 8, it was delivered yesterday and when I went to check on my status today, the link to download the forms and the red text that says "Congrats you have been approved please download the forms and w-9.. etc etc" or something like that is GONE. What does this mean? What if ideal say that they never received the forms and I need to redownload the forms again?

Has anyone done the Biogenesis offer? I just thought this was an odd way for them to do business. I did the offer for e-research council & received credit but here is what happened. I paid for my trial last Thurs or Fri (@ on the 8th or 9th) & as of today I still had not received it. I e-mailed them to inquire about when it was shipped. They responded back that they were cancelling it being shipped out. I found that strange as I did pay shipping & did wish to try the product. I also wondered why they hadn't mailed it out yet over a week past the order date with the days ticking by. I just wondered if this has happened to anyone else.

I forgot to mention they said they would refund my shipping since I never received the trial. I just thought when I asked them about the shipping that they would lengthen the timeframe of my trial; not cancel the shipping.

Ugh, I screwed up.

Right after completing my 11th out of 12 offers I noticed

"YOU MAY SIGN-UP WITH EACH OF OUR ADVERTISERS ONE TIME EVERY 6 MONTHS. ONCE
YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED AN ADVERTISER'S OFFER YOU ARE PROHIBITED
FROM SIGNING-UP FOR THAT OFFER, AS WELL AS ANY OTHER OFFER SPONSORED BY THE
ADVERTISER, FOR 6 MONTHS."

Yes, I know. I suck at life. I should have noticed.

Please tell me they just won't count the 2nd credit. If they DQ me I'll off myself.

2 of them had the identical "Thank You" page so I'm assuming they had the same sponsor. It wasn't anything ridiculous like the 2 silkies or the 2 dental things.

So will they just not count the 2nd one?

orangejuice

16-10-2009 20:31:23

i think i completed 2 by the same company without any ill effects. let me check. It is obvious to tell who is the same company. Green tea fit, berry md, and something else are all by the same company. My buddy did those 2 and still got approved. I think they dont want you to sign up for all 3 book clubs or something i would imagine.

Thanks for the quick response.

I wish I knew which two they were but I can't figure it out, lol.

I just wanted to make sure I wouldn't get a DQ, lol. If they just take away the 2nd credit I wouldn't mind too much.

I vaguely remember noticing a very light gray "Thank You" at the top left two times and I remembered thinking both times that they were hoping I didn't see it so I'd scroll down and click "submit" which would have signed me up for something else, lol.

btw I did Emusic, Purity Mineral Science, Vista Print, Lifelock, Savings Ace, Nicole's Savings Advantage, Silkies, Coloslim, Jewelry Savings Plan, Elite ID, blockbuster, and Living Christian.

Does anyone know off hand if any of those are the same sponsor? I know I saw the same thank you page twice. I'm hoping it is as someone said earlier just the same website they are hosted on and not the same advertiser.

I guess just ask what offers were duplicated. It maybe a mistake in their system or something if they truly didn't duplicate a offer between the sites. And when they say which offer, you can go back to them and show them that offer wasn't duplicated

I've yet to "lose", but I-Deal actually requires you respond to a DQ (or "hold" in their language) via snail mail to their [DBA] Legal Department, which just so happens to respond...wait for it...via email.

As for violating the "6 month rule", I am hopeful that you kept good records, screnshots, etc....otherwise you won't have much to lean on. Good luck!

I definitely haven't violated any of their terms and conditions.

Since they do not do manual credits, is there any hope for me? Seeing how everybody else's offers are crediting so fast has me worried and frustrated. Any suggestions??

WHATEVER YOU DO, MAKE SURE YOU GET DELIVERY CONFIRMATION AND TRACKING! I sent my crap back to China and they never refunded me because they claimed they never received the stuff. Not only was I out $80, I lost $15 because of the stupid long-distance call to Ontario, CANADA to contact their customer support, and when I emailed the company telling them to go screw themselves, they stole my credit card number and bought a bunch of crap under someone else's name. And yes, they basically use a bunch of GMail addresses as their "customer service" contacts. Avoid this offer if you can!

What the hell?

I did 12 offers.

13 credited.

I never did video professor but it says it credited. I remember it denying me after inputting my CC info saying that it couldn't be processed or something. I don't see a confirmation e-mail in my inbox. I haven't received anything from them in the mail. Does anyone know what the name that shows up on a my statement should be for video professor?

If it denied me yet still went through somehow and if I'm on the hook for $189.95 I'm going to be pissed.

EDIT Also, I did the offer that offered a $25 bonus (Purity Mineral Make up) How do I get that bonus? This form I printed is just for the $600.

EDIT2 Also, is it bad if I've pulled up the final form more than once? I couldn't figure out how to get it to print. Each time it gave me a different serial number and that worries me. It also tells me I have until November 9. Should I be worried that it gave me a unique serial number each time I filled out my info to redeem my gift?

Sorry.. I just want to make sure I don't do something to screw ths up.

I completed mine four days ago and they are all still pending.

This worries me because it seems all i-deal sites are/were 1 & 3 days for silver and gold.. and i'm past that with no credits on either.

I never did video professor but it says it credited. I remember it denying me after inputting my CC info saying that it couldn't be processed or something. I don't see a confirmation e-mail in my inbox. I haven't received anything from them in the mail. Does anyone know what the name that shows up on a my statement should be for video professor?

If it denied me yet still went through somehow and if I'm on the hook for $189.95 I'm going to be pissed.

the cookie for video professor probably went through and credited you, but you're probably not signed up.

and the bonus $25 will be mailed to you, probably like 5 months, it's always slow.

LOL...I'm not going to share much information at all...but suffice to say that the I-Deal is just a tiny division of an umbrella that is a tiny subsidiary of a parent that is a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ exchange with over $400M gross profit in 2008 (down about 4% from 2007).

I assure you that $1M isn't going to break the bank, especially when that's just a theoretical expenseyou've thrown out. Historically, I-Deal's RevenueProfit hovers right around 32, meaning their RevenueExpense is 31 (basically, for every $3 that comes in, $2 is pure profit..only $1 is expenses, and only a portion of the $1 is paid out to "us"...the rest is other fixed/variable operating expenses).

I could be wrong but according to their terms, you have to use the same email on the same DBA no matter what. It doesn't matter at this point if it was 2 years ago or their first site ever.

Also, they do. I don't know why people continue to ignore the great post FON posted above. Do some research and you will see that they have a ton of revenue. This is obviously the reason as to why they are the only legit DIY site left after all the drama the freebie scene has been through.

I totally thought I was SOL but I just checked right now and it shows it was in fact received yesterday! yay yay yay I'm sooo relieved!
So, I moved last year and had to go through the whole address verification for eatandshoponus, is it likely that I'll have to do it again for a different DBA?

you can trust them, just do what you're supposed to do and you will be fine. just know that if you move addresses, you have to jump through more hoops to be okay. if you change your email address, same thing. they aren't trying to scam, they are trying to prevent themselves from being scammed which is understandable.

I Don't think i can trust them. They are scammy. I knew somebody whose account is being on hold for no reason. She moved to a new address. And her name and address is listed in whitepages as hers. Still they will not take her account off hold. It doesn't make sense to me. And she is willing to provide more documents to prove that its her address. Whatever she told them is violating their terms and conditions. They are just plain idiot and scam company!

Amen brother. When in doubt always ask them if it OK before you start it. That way if they cay you can't do it, you don't lose anything. I have never had a problem with iDeal, there customer service has always been good to me.

^^ yeah same here. i'm not trying to insinuate that this company is perfect by any means, but the aforementioned cases (MJ's and Luca's) both had circumstances that were fishy/undesirable to them aka moving to a new address/an inaccessible email address. Knowing that information going in, it def. is best to contact them before hand so you don't lose money and/or waste offers. sorry about the DQ's though, i know it sucks. i just don't think its fair to the newbies here to be scared into avoiding this site when its one of the last ones out there thats doable and still continues to pay.

MJ - I moved this year because of employment to a different town/city. I notified them before completing the eResearch council promotions. . Their CS didn't really give me a whole lot of information but referred me to their TOS.

I completed all the offers using my new email address and home address, got approved after 8 days. I sent in my redemption form (delivery confirmation) then after 5 days, they sent me an email about the address verification yada yada. Since my driver's license is still showing my previous address, they told me any utility bills, credit card bills or paystubs will work. I went ahead and faxed in 5 documents (as proof of address) to Ideal then got approved after 2 hours . So I don't know what went wrong with your friends participation with I-deal. They had been helpful with my situation. Something must have gone wrong why the account was on hold or why they got DQed.

I think that anyone can write rules, put them in their terms, and say "well don't say we didn't tell you" but at the end of it all, i have to ask, is is reasonable? Is it reasonable to continue to have brand new domains all under one DBA, and expect people to keep records 3+ years to see if they EVER signed up under one of the random domains, and to see what email they used? I don't think it is, and I don't think any other business could get way with it. I don't care that its in their terms, when the domain name isn't the same, it's too much to ask that they research their own records. People who didn't get DQed can get all preachy about following rules, but it's wrong. I found out about the site, encouraged my mother to do it quickly because Ideal will raise requirements in the blink of an eye (also wrong, but whatever) and yeah, we didn't stop to determine if she'd signed up 2 years previously.

It doesn't make Ideal's rules right, because the only reason to have such an email rule is to make it easier to DQ people, and save cash. Under their rules, if you live at home with your family and one of your siblings signs up for a site, never does any offers, and then you later sign up for a different prize under the same DBA, you will be put on hold. does that sound fair?

It's my sister in law that got D'qed. I referred her to this website. Actually, it's the $750 giftcard on christmasonus that she is DQed. We have the same last name. They assumed that we lived in the same household. Even though they can check her name and address in whitepages.com as her own address. And she even offered to send proof of id's and utility bills showing her name and her address on it. Still they refuse to take her account off hold. I don't understand why it's so hard for them to understand the concept. I mean, if they check her name in whitepages.com and in utility bills, they can see her name on it. They're just trying to save money.
Yes, we are related. She is my sister in law. But, aren't they what they want???Referred their website to Relatives and friends thru word of mouth??
I feel so bad to her because i referred her. And now she believed this whole ideal thing is a scam. From now on, i will never ever refer any ideal website to friends or relatives. And will never ever sign up to their website. Very scammy website.

I've never been that good at it, but from what I understand you do google searches for "free xxxxx" or copy some text from another ideal site and google that. Then go through the results. Sometimes it is helpful to go to the last page of results and work backwards, too.

I got my $1,000 today too! I fuckin' love I Deal. I registered for the site 9-16, didn't complete my offers for a few days if I remember correctly, had to do a couple of replacements and my certificates took just under a week to be approved. Money received today, 11-17, almost 2 months exactly! As always, I Deal provided one of the smoothest, quickest experiences yet.

Oh... and my account still says I've been approved but has no mention of shipping.

... and on another note, how exactly do you suggest I get the money off these? Last time I got some Wachovia GCs, they had a PIN and I managed to get the money out of an ATM and only paid ~$20 in fees. But, these don't appear to have a PIN. Is there a default?

You can request a check from each gift card directly from Wachovia by calling their customer support. They charge a $15 fee for each check, so you'd get $970.

You could try taking them to your bank/CU to do a cash advance. I work at a CU and some gift cards work through cash advance, but not all, I don't know if these work. Most (if not all) financials do cash advances at no charge.

FYI, a good friend of mine registered my 2 $500 gift cards in his name and added them to his PayPal account (last time I did this, the card had to be registered or PayPal wouldn't accept it). He then paid me the full amount (minus a penny. For some reason, the second payment wouldn't go through until he sent $499.99, so if you run into problems, take a penny off) and PayPal charged $28 and some change. My total amount from the cards is $971.22.

Blue579

19-11-2009 06:26:25

I'm going to wait until I have something to buy, before I activate my $500 Visa gift cards, because after 1 year from activation they start charging a monthly service fee ($2.50).

Small problem, my gf's account was put on hold for the $1000 site.....she was told that only one email per a house....her mom had signed up under the same house just to give it a try and tried some offers but didnt go thru the actual process of finishing it or redeeming anything.

So we sent a letter to Ideal, and haven't heard back.....any chance its fixable or she is SOL with Ideal now? She was looking forward to it to help her pay her school bill.

I will probably get her into the Nuitech stuff asap but was wondering if anyone was able to get out of a dilemma like this.

Figured out what was wrong, had to login to my gift card account on the Wachovia website and update my profile to reflect my billing address. Worked flawlessly, paypal charged $1 to verify they were working cards, so transferred $499 from each card, totalled around $970 for both after fees. Much faster than a check, and same fees for both.

it shows 12 offers and a referral. i should clarify - i bookmarked the url but i hadn't signed up for anything yet. but when i first bookmarked it, i thought it was 8 for 1000!

Still waiting for my $25 offer bonus, anyone else?

Also, looking forward to the 1099 that's wrong. This year I've only received GCs though, so it might be fun to pursue the BS numbers on the 1099 a little bit.

quick question - never dealt with referrals before. if a requirement of their 1K cards now is 2 referrals of completed offer setups (which would also require the referrals right?) - how would anyone ever officially qualify? sounds like endless loop of referral requirements to me.

makes me mad at myself that i started that 1K with 12 offers and didn't read the #4 on the guidelines (

I just found out that my account has been put on hold for the e-researchcouncil $1000 visa site.

This was the reason given by customer support

[iadd08f31c4]Each household is limited to the use of one (1) e-mail address. Each
household must use the same e-mail address throughout all sites owned or
operated by e-ResearchCouncil.com and related companies. Households who

from this site, as well as any other site owned or operated by
e-ResearchCouncil.com and related companies.[/iadd08f31c4]

I have heard about people getting dq'ed over email addresses, but I've only done one other I-Deal site in the last 12 months, and I used the exact same email address I used on this site. Prior to that, I hadn't signed up for an I-Deal site in more than two years! No one else in my household does these sites. This is completely unfair and ridiculous.

Anyone have any advice?

[iadd08f31c4]ETA[/iadd08f31c4]
FWIW, I have never done an e-researchcouncil website before. The I-Deal site I did last year was a 123 Click website

I figured as much, but I'm going to wait to see what CS's response to my follow up email is.
Frankly, I'm not holding my breath for anything. I am officially done with I-Deal. I've done a lot of their sites no problem, I've always followed their TOS, and I've even defended them against naysayers, but it seems like this company is just looking for reasons to DQ people.

In the grand scheme of things, I'm sure they won't give a lililili anyway. Judging by their business practices as of late, hanging on to people who follow their own ridiculous set of rules is not on their list of priorities.

does anyone know if there is another community/board where i-deal referrals are ok to talk about/negotiate??? i would like to finish this 1K card since i'm already halfway home on confirmed offers (6 out of 12), steams me that i apparently didn't see the see referral policy in their terms page. unfortunately two of my friends got screwed in the Brandarama debacle i introduced them to (

Yes, it's the HP from this site. It's worth about $800-$900. It's not my style, but it's a nice computer. It's a business laptop, I was hoping for something geared toward multimedia. It will do for now since the Vaio I got from I-deal a couple of years ago has a defective graphics card.

My e-mail was somehow "unsubscribed", so now the only DBA from I-deal that I can do is Jasper Marketing (since I've never signed up with any e-mail on that DBA).. unless there is some other obscure DBA out there.

If anyone has any links to share, please do. The only one I'm aware of is http//www.foodcritic101.com 8 offers for $500.. but for restaurants, which is more or less not what I'd prefer to spend $500 on. Hopefully there's a $500 VISA or something out there, somewhere..

Alright, I used to do these sites week in/out and haven't been in "the game" for a while.

1. Oleus, isn't the laptop link at the top of this page without a referral requirement?

2. Any idea what the dollar amount will be on our 1099's if we receive this laptop?

3. Offer TOS are still the same as in the past right? Don't cancel right away and continue any service you're legitimately interested in. Is there a requirement that you must exceed a free trial period and become a paid/subscribed member on any offers?

4. If there are two different offers for two different products but owned by the same "mother" company is a member able to sign up for both and receive credit for both?


I used to be all over these boards and started reading here an hour, or so, ago on page 85 and still have these questions. If everything checks out I plan on looking over I-Deals TOS with a fine eye.

Thanks for you help all!

orangejuice

15-01-2010 09:19:10

Probably about $900 on the 1099

They seem to be the same. No talk of keeping offers past 10 days or anything. i would wait 5 days to cancel any though..

and i would stay away from doing 2 differernt products from the same company

Started foodcritic101 last night around 1100pm. An hour later the silvers credited. So it's probably 1-3-10 like most i-deal sites.

I was gonna wait off until a VISA or something because I only thought I could do one site from Jasper Marketing, but then realized you can do $1000 per DBA, so I can just do another one in a few months.
