Even if you spend $100, that's still a 101 return on investment. In terms of last-page OOD offers, those are extremely mild compared to most (outside of I-Deal). The last page alone of most Product Test Panel DIY's will cost you from several hundred to several [ib860aa908b]thousand[/ib860aa908b] dollars.

The SunRocket offer looks to be free for a few months, unless you have to pay for 9 months and they only give you 3 free, but still, that isn't so bad if you see what you are getting. Has anyone ever done this one before? Do they have good service compared to a landline? Do you have to stay on for a month to get credit? I have definitely been thinking about switching out the landline, or at least adding another line in the house to try out the service.

mostly depends on the offer anywhere fro ma few days to a week or 2 weeks, i think anything beyond 2 weeks will require manual credit and manual credit is hell to get but i can be done. aafter confirmed to be shipped its about 4 months

I just signed up for it while reading this topic. Quick question for anyone though.. I currently have a $100 Visa card on the way from YourTopBrands.com. I tried to find any info (on the YourTopBrands site)on whether I'm eligible to participate for this $1000 Visa or not, but couldn't find anything stating whether or not I would be disqualified since I had already done the $100 Visa offer.

Anyone know if the site is okay with that? Usually on most sites of this type there is a 1 year waiting period before you can do another gift promotion, but I couldn't find any such restrictions here.

Anyone know?

dltaylor05

09-05-2007 13:46:55

Cool. Thanks for the info, guys. Weird thing is that the $100 Visa card required 2 offers (both offers were done for around a total of $10), neither of them are offered on the $1000 gift so I'm safe there.

Still, weird how this one is still only 4 offers for $1000 while my other was 2 offers for $100 shock . Wonder how long it'll last.

I did this on wed. and 2 of my 4 offers have credited. Fortunately the OOD credited. Based on what I've read I still have time - 1-2 weeks for the offers to credit, then it's time to replace them.

Is that the basic experience? Offers still credit up to 2 weeks or so?

Well, my experience with YourTopBrands isn't exactly instilling me with a lot of confidence for their site. I first came across them through a simple $100 Gift Card for doing 2 offers (the offers cost me a mere $6 ) which I thought was great.

It took 2 MONTHS (after the offers had credited) for the gift to be "confirmed to be shipped". It was confirmed on April 9 and they claimed it would take approximately 30 days to arrive. It's now May 26 and I still have not received it. In fact, I wouldn't have heard ANYTHING from the site if I hadn't contacted them and asked "What's going on with my gift?" Their reply was as follows

Dear Darryl Taylor,

Thank you for contacting us.

Our 30 day fulfillment period is a target and we do make best efforts to fulfill within that period. Due to circumstances outside our control we are currently experiencing delays in gift fulfillment. At this time we cannot give you an exact shipping date for your gift. Once your gift is shipped, that fact will be indicated on your status page. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes you.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions.

Sincerely,

Marie
YourTopBrands Member Support

Now keep in mind this is for a simple $100 gift card, I am now VERY skeptical about trying for a $1000 card. What circumstances beyond their control? ?

luumon

26-05-2007 12:01:10

it's true they state it takes 30 days to ship. but if you read throughout the thread it takes 4-5 months to recieve a gift. yes, even a $100 gift card.

I definately understand where you're coming cause i'm anxious to get my gifts too BUT.... getting $1000 for <$50 is worth a couple months wait.

dltaylor05

26-05-2007 14:03:29

Oh, I agree with you both about the payout being worth the wait. Definitely! But my problem is with the fact that it took them over a month to credit my offers, an additional 2 months to acknowledge and confirm the credits and issue shipping, and it's been over another month and I still haven't gotten anything. That's 4 months for a simple $100 and still nothing has been sent. What's a $1000 going to be, half a year or more?

On my $1000 gc, I was confirmed to be shipped in about 2 or 3 weeks from the start date, but yes, it's looking to be a 6 month wait from there.

Patience I have. I'm a freelance illustrator artist and father. Patience is a must for any artist and/or parent. I just wish they would tell you upfront that there is a possibility that it could take up to six months instead of saying it would be a projection time of 30 days from the time the gift is confirmed.

So I signed up for this site in April, then stupid me, I signed up again the other day. Now it takes like 6 offers or something. So I asked customer service and they said it will be fine and I can just use the April account, which only takes 4 offers.

My question to the pros is, if the CS person told me it would be ok, will that be enough for me to get my gift? Or whenever I am processing they will DQ me due to multiple signups?

Also, what does an offer look like once its credited? I have on and it just says $offername Reports in 1 to 7 days. I assume that it didn't credit, but what should it say if it does? Thanks guys.

When I got prepaids from Nui-Tech you could use those at the ATM.

It depends on the bank that the cards are from, not whether they are VISA's.

luumon

19-07-2007 22:04:14

yeah, you can use the visa gift cards at the atm. it's the amex gift cards that you can't use at the atm.

RolltheStampede was talking crap about the washer and dryer site because it was a Market Labs DBA, but no one had any problems with that. He just has a personal issue with i-deal and copes with that by telling other people they are a scam even though it's not true.

Personally I think he should just keep his mouth shut because he's not doing any good, just spreading b.s. CONSTANTLY because he was the exception and had a bad experience.

Yes. In fact you can do different sites with the same domain name, such as you can a yourtopbrands site for a $1,000 gift card and you can also do any of the other yourtopbrands sites that offers a different gift. You'll be fine as long as you don't do the same gift twice or repeat offers.

Can someone clear my quick doubt. When you guys do 4 offers for the 1000$ GC, do we have to do them in one single day or i can do it over 2 days. I read something about bookmarking the offers page, but as that offers page is in a popup, i cannot bookmark.

You can wait as long as you want in between doing offers. It doesnt matter. You shouldnt bookmark and then do an offer b/c you probably wont get credit for doing the offer, instead just click the offer from the yourtopbrands site anytime you need to.

If this is your first time doing offers you should read the crediting guide in the help section. that can help.

I haven't done an incentive site in months and months and was thinking of doing this one. It's appealing to me b/c of the low offers, I don't mind waiting. Without having to read 8 pages is there anyone who can give me a reason not to do this one? I was going to start with page 4 and the offer I clicked on sent me to the red cross website. I tried calling the company but no one answered after holding forever it just said "the party you are trying to reach is unavailable". Anyway, before I start this one I'd like to know if anyone has done it recently and been paid.

Thanks

editing to add even though this is my first post and I just joined today, I'm not a super newb at this, in the past I've done

freepay Photo Ipod
freepay X-box (got gift cards)
Nuitech 42'' panasonic plasma
Nuitech 2 Ipod Nano's
BigWin Vespa scooter ($3,000 check)
Nuitech 2,000 check

I think they are in order of how I did them... I completed the last one November or December of last year... so I'm a little rusty.

23-07-2007 11:11:03

I got paid like back in march i think, i used the cash to do producttestpanel. my roomate has done it.

they are legit, there is phone support.
this is an older link so you better do it while its still around. this is the best offer you will get, it just takes 3-4 months after they have recieved your certs to send your gift.

the standard with them now seems to be 100 bucks an offer, i have seen a bunch of 600 gift cards for 6 offers, you might be able to find a few 500 gift cards for 3 offers, id do those first. along with the 1,000 for 4

I think I'm going to do more of their sites today, it was so easy. Do the credits normally show up within the 7 day time period? In my experience with nuitech, if it didn't show credited immediately you would have to wait a good while to see them.

For those who received a giftcard from any of the Brandarama sites -- how were they shipped? I talked to a CSR and they said they require a signature confirmation.. but other than that, what method are they shipping it under?

Just wondering when I should be expecting mine... I believe they ship from California? I'm in Michigan, so I'm pretty far away.

Edit Nevermind, I checked DRay's post and apparently they ship from New York, NY. His picture of the cost was $5.21 for shipping.. so I'm guessing that's Priority Mail with Signature confirmation?

We do not allow discussions of offer walk-throughs here, including suggestions of what offers to complete, which credit better, and which cost the least. Freebie sites terms forbid it and you can be disqualified. You are only supposed to complete offers that you have an interest in trying, and not solely for the end result of getting a prize.

ok. sorry for trouble.

question for experts, out of the 4 offers i did, i can see different page number on 3 of the offers, but i do not see any page number on the offer i did on page 2 when i check my status. It shows "complete" for page1 offer and complete for the 2nd offer of page 2(but does not show the page number for offer 2).

i see the terms and conditions for the offers i did on page 1(simply you) and page 2(at home rewards) are almost same, except the programs are different, but may be the sponsoring companies are same.

So should i mail YTB or call them stating why page number is not displayed as they might think that i have done 2 offers on the page 1 itself. Or am I just panicy.

Wouldnt that be fraud. Im sure Brandarama sets page 4 offers so that you complete offers on those page and not page 3.

Zags1199

30-07-2007 22:05:06

How would it be fraud? I don't think you understand the situation.

If you click and complete an offer on Page 4 but it only shows up as Google Business Kit (with no page number) instead of Google Business Kit (p. 4), it's a glitch on the site's end. Their system still recognizes it as a Page 4 completion; it just doesn't show up on the status page for some reason.

[quote357f934261="Zags1199"]How would it be fraud? I don't think you understand the situation.

If you click and complete an offer on Page 4 but it only shows up as Google Business Kit (with no page number) instead of Google Business Kit (p. 4), it's a glitch on the site's end. Their system still recognizes it as a Page 4 completion; it just doesn't show up on the status page for some reason.[/quote357f934261]

I thought he meant he was doing page 3 offers instead of page 4.

Is the offer the same as www.stamps.com?

Also.. on PAGE 4, there is 4inkjets.com. However, it does not tell me what to do. It doesn't tell me how much to buy or anything....[/quote4625457041]

You shouldn't choose offers based on how EASY they are.

You should choose offers that INTEREST you.

For PhotoStamps you buy a sheet of 20 stamps that you customize with your own photo. It costs $20-25 but the stamps are the 41 cent first-class stamps, so it's not a bad deal really.

No, you'll get no offer recommendations here. As tylerc mentioned, you're supposed to only participate in these sites and complete offers that interest you, NOT for the sole purpose of receiving a payout. Discussing how "easy" offers are, the lowest cost offers, cancellation, etc. are all forbidden here and would be considered a violation of the terms of service of most freebie sites. And don't think all the major sites and networks don't read forums like this.

As to your question about 4inkjets.com, typically that offer requires a $25+ purchase.

[quote267f7ec4e6="tylerc"]TINs are more for businesses, not individuals, put your SSN.[/quote267f7ec4e6]

The TIN is for [i267f7ec4e6]non-citizens[/i267f7ec4e6]. EIN is for business. SSN is for sole-proprietor businesses or individuals.

I have a question. How many of these sites require a referral? And can anyone chime in on which sites DO NOT require a ref?

I was going to do sleeknewlaptops at one point, and then abandoned it because of the referral requirement. DIY should be just that - "do-it-yourself", not "do-it-in-pairs".

A little info would be greatly appreciated via karma...

dmorris68

31-07-2007 08:09:59

I-Deal sites are the only DIY sites that sometimes require a ref. Not all I-Deal sites do. They used to start out with one or no refs, then later increase requirements to impractical levels. They might start out at 8+0 or 8+1, then later jump to 10+5.

Lately thought it seems all their sites are coming out at either 10+0 or 10+1, and don't seem to be increasing, at least not at the rate they used to.

Brandarama, YFDirect, Nuitech, etc. are true DIY with no refs.

skepticalcynic

31-07-2007 08:14:01

Thanks David )

Now here's a newbie question oops
How exactly do I find the "Brandarama, YFDirect, Nuitech, etc." sites? I don't suppose there's a list somewhere...

tylerc

31-07-2007 08:17:30

free-youbetcha.com has a list of MANY Brandarama sites (who also runs YourTopBrands, TrustedRewards, RewardsParade, and some others).

They also have YFDirect links as well.

Don't waste your time with NuiTech anymore, they require everyone to stay on EVERY offer for at least 60 days (possibly 90?) and they are taking forever to ship.

dmorris68

31-07-2007 08:27:06

No list, at least not around here. They frown on that sort of thing. ;)

But they're pretty easy to find through spam and banner advertisements. Once you do a DIY or two, especially I-Deal, you'll be swamped with spam for other sites. Every so often I go trolling through my spam folder and come up with a few gems. Others get passed by word of mouth in the forums. The last I-Deal site I did, I found via banner ad on YouTube or some other viral video site.

skepticalcynic

31-07-2007 08:30:03

OK, cool - I'll keep on the lookout. In the meantime, I have the link for one of them to get me started. We'll see what happens...

Thanks guys )

I think they've always been fast to approve, manual credit, etc. It still takes 4-6 months for them to ship though.

nooooooooo, they usually take 4-6 weeks to process your claim forms.

dmorris68

31-07-2007 11:57:26

I stand corrected then, I must have mis-read others' experiences about fast and excellent customer service, just super-long shipment times. But I've never completed a Brandarama site, although I've signed up to start several (including this one). I've been thinking about completing it since the offers don't seem too bad, but I'm working on an I-Deal at the moment and don't like to do more than one DIY at a time.

They don't really process your tax forms, they process your redemption form. They just send your tax form to the IRS.

Actually, they don't send W9's to the IRS. W9's are required to be kept on file, as your official record of taxpayer info. In January, then they issue 1099-MISC forms documenting your prior year's income, they use the W9 info to fill out the 1099's. THOSE are sent to both you and the IRS at that time.

I'm not sure when they received it. I sent them on the 27th. When I took them to the post office, I didn't have enough money on me to buy priority mail with DC because I just wanted to send them First-Class with DC but apparently you can only do that if you buy the label online. Since I'm in Ohio, I'm guessing they received them early last week.

But I did send them an e-mail yesterday just asking if they could check to see if they received it because I was a little concerned since the W-9 had my SSN, and I didn't buy DC. I got an e-mail back saying they sent a note to the legal department to make sure they had it. And this morning, my account was updated.

with regards to the "yourtopbrands" 1,000 dollar gift card for 4 offers.

I did my 4 offers and 3 of them credited relatively quickly. My page 2 offer hasn't credited yet so i emailed them twice (i did all order july 31) and they are saying i have to wait a month.

Has anyone had experience with submitting a ticket after the 30 days and receiving credit for it?

Submit the headers to them and they might resolve it more quickly.

I'm in the same boat. Did all 4 offers on Aug. 6th, page 2 has not credited (did stamps.com (!))

I emailed and attached the email with headers. They told me to sit tight till they hear from the sponsor.

I'm not going to do another offer just yet but from what I understand Stamps.com is poor to credit.

Yes my dates are correct. Confirmed to ship does not mean shipped, it means what it says....Shipped means shipped -- I think this is a DUH moment.

Thank you for contacting us.

We apologize for the delay. We receive hundreds of these claim forms everyday and we process them as quickly as we can. It can take up to 3-4 weeks from the time our legal department receives these claim forms for this to be indicated on their status pages.

The reason you probably are not getting helped is because of the several emails.

Several implies more than 2 - and you are just bothering them if that is true.

I understand some people start sending emails after 2 weeks wait - but just sending one email is all that is needed, or maybe even a call.

Yeah just wait it out a little. Everyone who has received this GC told us that it took a long time to get it. Also, It can take up to 4 weeks for them to confirm you. It sucks to wait but the 1000 GC is going to be worth it when you get it.

Hey guys, for the 1k 4 offer YTB I signed up for dermatica on aug 3rd and it never credited so I did disney book club on aug 12 and that didnt credit today. Whats the longest time something takes to credit? I thought they always credit on fridays.

I did another site of theirs and cosmetique and zooba didnt credit yet either, 2 and 1 weeks respectivley. I did the mineral makup on that one today, so I did 3 extra offers already. I'm out of Brandarama offers to do, besides the oods so if they dont credit I am going to have to try to call them up.

Whats your experiences with delayed credits, do they come or no? Will the CS department help me if I call them up?

Thanks in advance!

I just got confirmed for this today. Had to do 5 offers because they said one I did was for another 1K GC, whatever.

Hey, a heads up. Some of you may have already known this, but a friend of mine that's been doing Brandarama and YTB brand sites told me this. He said that they don't care if multiple people in a household do the same gifts. He is working on this 1K Visa card, and just got approved for his wife for the same exact GC. He spoke with them on the phone and they told him this was possible of course as long as offers are not repeated and you have to have SSN for each person doing it. Anyone already done this? Is this old news? I know most sites don't do this so I thought I'd share.

Same boat as you. Did 4 offers in one sitting and 3 credited within a day. The fourth one (overnight genius on page 2.) still hasn't credited and it is now approaching almost 30 days from when i did the offers.

I am hoping that they credit me manually after I email them with an email confirmation from overnight genius that I signed up.

This is the last offer I am waiting on. I called CS she said that I sould "just do another offer" bc they are not good at responding back to them.

What offer credits fast? so far I did Ivory White, Aveda, and Mineral makeup

We're not allowed to discuss that. All offers credit and if it doesnt just do another one.

From my experiences I always go 3-4, 2-3 on offers anyways. I think they do it on purpose, but thats just a wild guess. shrug

Hi,
This is my first try in freebie world and seems things are not working for me. I did this site on July 28 2007. 2 offers credited within a week, but the other 2 offers - stamps.com and disney book club have not yet been credited. Though i placed a full fledged order; received my orders for stamps and books, but the CSR still says it may take a while. It is september now, what should i do ??

I have sent my order numbers and order amounts to CSR, anything else do i need to do ?? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thnx

look they told me the same thing back in november when i needed credit for an offer, after like 3 months of nothing i called back and they said they would resubmit the info to the sponser for credit. its been almost a year and still no credit, i just did another offer. if you dont get credit after like 2-4 weeks just do another offer because the chances of you getting manual is slim.

I'm afraid. Everything looked fine several days ago with my offers, and now when I click to go to the next page to check something (I realized I might have to redo an offer) I get a blank page that says "thank you for your time".

I checked the gift rules, and for some reason it says that there are SEVEN sponsor offers to complete.

It's a glitch in the system. When you click "[ue567be3508]Click here[/ue567be3508] for more sponsor pages" you will be taken to your 1st page of offers. Click on any of the offers on that page (it doesn't matter which one), then close out of the offer that has popped up (wait until it completely loads though) then click the link for the next page, it'll take you back to the 1st page but you should be all set at that point. You then can go from page to page without that Thank you for leering at our offers (Thank you for your time) error" wink

I dont think that brandarama is known for OOD's. I know that everyfreegiftcard has them on most of their sites. I have not seen an OOD on any of the 3 brandarama sites that I am registered on.

I do know that the last page for the 1000 Visa did have a few offers that looked a little pricey (by pricey i mean like $20 bucks) but then again they change weekly I believe.

Dude is an idiot.

But that can be said to all of those who live/have lived in Michigan.

The only bad thing about living in northern Ohio, is you have to be so close to Michigan. cry[/quote2b5a9813d9]

That's about as intelligent of a statement as I've heard lately. "Everyone who has live in Michigan is an idiot." Wow, the amount of thought that it takes to make a statement like that.

Now, that being said, all I ever did say was "who cares how long it takes...it's $1000 for 4 offers." Last I checked I didn't type stfu on the front of that. I was just happy to have gotten mine after the long wait that I said it w/ excitement, but I'm sure all of you highly educated people in Ohio (or any of the other 49 states other that Michigan) have figured out a way to pick up on the tones that people are TYPING with.

So, I the idiot, will leave you be to wait for your giftcards while I (the idiot) am off paying for my trip to the Dominica Republic with my $1000 that I am no longer waiting for.[/quote2b5a9813d9]

Not quite sure why you are upset. When you start any brandarama site you have to expect that it will take at LEAST 3-4 months. As far as I am concerned I think they are right on track and I will get my June visa next month. If I wait more then 6-7 months then I would start to get upset. Just use this time to go do a different offer with them or YFdirect/I-deal

I asked them about it and this was the response

"The 180 days is the time in which you have to sign up with the required number of offers from the day you complete your first offer. The reason for this time frame is because some of our promotions are reaching the point where they will be expiring. As long as you have your sponsor offer pages link you can still complete the offers.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions. "

So, I would guess when your first offer went completed, but you may want to contact them yourself since you already did offersm when I asked I said I hadn't done any offers yet.

27-09-2007 21:16:56

i did this a while ago and it kicked. this is still one of the "best bang for the buck" gift cards out there. make sure when you sign up that you check to see how long they give you...it used to be a year or longer so long ago...but now that seems like ages. Sign up before they raise the offers, but then make sure to follow through in a timely manner. mistertomlinson, look at your status page; it should say when you started, and you have six months. I don't understand how people can start a gift and not complete in six months? You might just be really busy though, so it is circumstantial. Cheerio and best of luck!

I'm still waiting for manual credit for two offers. I emailed like a month ago the required stuff. I think I have until Friday before it's been 30 days. I feel like I'll never get this money!

I've been waiting since June 17th on the Visa so you guys are not alone. One good note a support lady said they have "started processing" June Visa's whatever that means. I hear people already getting amex cards confirmed from the middle of Aug. and I have one from Aug. 6 and still waiting. This company has no ryhme or reason if you ask me. They just kinda do things when they feel like it. And manual credit good luck I would try and wait to see if two cheap offers come up and do them. I have yet to ever get a manual credit from them.

Just a thought...since you can't get cash out from any of these gift cards, would you be able to take it to say a 7-Eleven and just get a $990 money order (they charge 1% so $9.90)? That way you can just deposit into your bank account or whatever?

i was also approved sometime in june. according to my notes I started signing up for the offers on May 15th.

i received my first 'click here to claim your gift' e-mail on May 25th (i'm sure i mailed it soon after, maybe on the 25th).

i may have a 'confirmed to be shipped' screenshot on my home computer. but based on a may 25th mail date, they definately received/processed it in june.

dray edit i'm checking my old e-mails and i was confirmed sometime after june 24th.

I posted this question in the Brandarama sticky, but I think it'll be answered faster if I post it here...

Does anyone know if Brandarama allows you to complete more than one Scholastic book offer? I know I Deal does... not sure if Brandarama does. I ask because I completed 2 scholastic offers at the same time (yes, I was sure to clear my cookies between completions) and just received credit for ONE of them today. Thanks for any help.

I just did my offers for this site... does this look normal? What i am referring to is the Simply You section. When i did the offer it showed (Simply You (p1)) and then it switched to what looks like credited, but it doesn't show under page 1 offers and pg 1 still shows i have to complete an offer.

Any thoughts?

mistertomlinson

08-10-2007 17:11:58

If you signed up for that site BEFORE they incorporated the new "Offers left to complete" feature, it will not be accurate. I am currently finishing the $2,500 site and have gotten credit for 11 offers, but it still says I have to complete all 14... because when I registered for that site, they didn't tell you how many offers you had left to complete on each page. As for the page you completed a particular offer on, they know.

I put an iPod Classic and a 4GB iPhone on one of my Credit Cards the day the Classics came out and iPhone's prices were reduced, so I'mma get that squared away. The rest... buy a copy of Halo 3 and pay on another credit card (I purchased one of the new aluminum 24" iMacs, 4GBs of RAM a while ago)... I don't actually pay for anything ) I just put it on my credit card, then one day I complete a freebie site and pay it off.

Welcome. This is only my second gift received from Brandarama (got a $600 Visa a few months ago), but I'm already getting into the habbit of completing their site and forgetting about it. I got a couple more offers left to complete on their $2,500 site (which will pay off my iMac Credit Card referenced above )) and by now, I figure I wont be counting the days... I'll just forget all about it and come Spring time, I'll receive a nice check in the mail...

I did some searching and only tracked down one instance pertaining to my inquiry. I was wondering if anyone here had received and eBay'd their $1,350 worth of Sports Authority gift cards. The one user here sold two of them and lost 20% (plus fees) of their value... has anyone else sold them on eBay (preferably all 3 of them)? I'm thinking about knocking out the 5 offers for the gift cards and figure if I can make a $1,000 profit when all is said and done, it's definitely worth my time. Just wanted to know if others knew what all 3 cards were worth on eBay. Thanks.

You most likely won't get $1,000. After fees, you'll most likely get about $900.

12-10-2007 23:21:07

Sports Authority $450 sell for about 350 (first hand knowledge). Ebay and Paypal fees brings you down to around 310 or so... and shipping.

So 300 for each card.

I sold some on craigslist for 360 each, cash.

These sports authority cards are not the greatest to sell. BUT 5 offers for 1350 is pimp any way you put it.

06pontiac

12-10-2007 23:32:11

Crap. Then you get taxed on top of taht, so thats what another 250 bucks, PLUS what you paid for the offers...so its really not the best deal after all. I might just freakin buy a plasma TV or something.

I am sorry, but no. The gift that is listed as the promotional item is the gift you will be receiving if you decide to complete the offers for that gift.

You guys have a site for a $1,350 Sports Authority gift card for 5 offers. I haven't signed up yet but was wondering if I would be able to request a check or other type of gift card instead because I can't spend $1,350 at Sports Authority. I would be willing to accept less than $1,350 if that would make it a more desirable proposition. Please consider this idea as I wouldn't want to complete the site for a Sports Authority card but would gladly do so for another type of gift card or check even if it means accepting a lesser value. Thank you so much for your time.[/quote74ec0529ae]

Since I've already done YTB, any chance the sports authority cards are available under a DBA? Sorry, just checking if it'd be safe to pull that off without the risk of getting DQed.

you can do any offer from any site, just don't repeat it with your name on it.

like 07 said, this isn't ideal.

Um... I went to my bank's (Wachovia) outside ATM with my $1,000 Visa gift card and was able to withdraw $980 (has to be in increments of $20)and still had a few bucks to spend on the card. If I remember correctly, the ATM charges $1.50 and the card issuer gets $2.50. You are allowed to withdraw $1,000 a day... or 3 withdraws. For some reason I couldn't withdraw the entire $980 at once but instead had to split it up into 2 transactions (I think it has to do with the fact that they gave me all 20s and it was too thick a stack to fit out of the slot). I was so excited, I took pictures with my iPhone (what can I say... I'm poor). So, it only cost me $8 to withdraw the $980 and I still had a few bucks on the card to complete another couple of offers for their $2,500 site wink .

Hahahaha... funny thing is, I was there at my bank and had planned to put it directly in my account as soon as I withdrew it, but I decided "to hell with that," I need pictures of this. Came back a few hours later and deposited it P

BTW, that GiftCardBuyBack.com site is a pretty sweet find, but they only accept Sports Authority cards ranging from $10-300 (you get 75% from my understanding) (. Brandarama sends 3 $450 cards... sucks. That seemed like the perfect answer to the SA gift cards and I was so happy, until I read that. But thanks whoever posted that link.

Not necessary. I suggest you drop that attitude, as we don't appreciate rude and condescending posts.

I don't know you, but I believe it's probably safe to assume FON has more freebie site knowledge than you. Aside from being former staff member here at FiPG, he has run several sites of his own. ;)

Freebie offers are a precious commodity, and while new ones do appear on a regular basis, if you're going to partake of this activity for very long, you learn to conserve offers as much as absolutely necessary.

I can also assure you that Brandarama is making far more than $100 off 4 offers.

orangejuice

06-11-2007 12:37:01

I am curious as to what they make? The sponsor offers themselves probably pay $25-30 per offer. Some of them are lower. They cant make more than 1 or 2 dollars selling your information. How else do they make money?? It can't just be breakage either, I would think 90% of people confirm and get their gifts. I am probably wrong on that to some extent, but how else do they make money>?

If you do not receive credit, Brandarama doesn't get paid. So that logic doesn't make any sense.

Not true, either. Many of Brandarama offers are hosted through HydraMedia and, for example, the Hockey offer which costs the person doing it around $25 only paid out around $10. They definitely typically make less than $100, just for offers, on a 4 offer site.

I'm unsure.. obviously the must be losing a lot of money when the ship out gifts. They may just be, as someone referred to a "money bank", where larger affiliate companies use to pay out gifts to deduct taxes at the end of the year/increase their affiliate productivity.

bruman, I'm unsure we've ever butt heads in the past...but I guess there's a first time for everything.

[quotef66fba090d="bruman"]If you do not receive credit, Brandarama doesn't get paid. So that logic doesn't make any sense.[/quotef66fba090d]

First, I'm operating under the assumption that the offer will at some point be credited. Larger companies like Brandarama have quite a bit more bidding power than your average joe, and thus (at least, I believe) a higher percentage of their manual credit requests are approved. I've provided irrefutable proof of completion, and Cosmetique is hardly a rogue advertiser.

Just because you know where an offer is "hosted" doesn't mean you have even a general idea of the rate the publisher is earning. There are other factors, volume and lead quality being two of the most important, that rates are often dependant upon.

You used to run a site, didn't you? What happened with that? I'm assuming you never negotiated a rate...you simply took what they gave you...which in itself speaks volumes about your understanding of the industry.

[quoteee4c713549="FreeOffersNow"]bruman, I'm unsure we've ever butt heads in the past...but I guess there's a first time for everything.

[quoteee4c713549="bruman"]If you do not receive credit, Brandarama doesn't get paid. So that logic doesn't make any sense.[/quoteee4c713549]

First, I'm operating under the assumption that the offer will at some point be credited. Larger companies like Brandarama have quite a bit more bidding power than your average joe, and thus (at least, I believe) a higher percentage of their manual credit requests are approved. I've provided irrefutable proof of completion, and Cosmetique is hardly a rogue advertiser.[/quoteee4c713549]

Right. I was saying that as an alternative to even APPLYING for manual credit. If it's been October 1st since you've done your offer, Brandarama makes you wait 30 days.. so what, you did the offer around September 1st? Obviously, if it has been that long it isn't going to credit at some point, unless you apply for manual credit. And they aren't going to get paid unless you apply for manual credit.. that's what I was saying. Brandarama is notorious for slow manual crediting.. so I guess it's your choice to wait, when you could of finished back in September..

[quoteee4c713549="FreeOffersNow"][quoteee4c713549="bruman"]Not true, either. Many of Brandarama offers are hosted through HydraMedia and, for example, the Hockey offer which costs the person doing it around $25 only paid out around $10. They definitely typically make less than $100, just for offers, on a 4 offer site.[/quoteee4c713549]

Yes.. I know.. I was just giving a ballpark figure. For many offers they don't make nearly as much money as many say they are. Obviously, to stay with the Hockey offer, if it costs $25.. they aren't going to pay out any more than $25 for a lead.. that's still a $900 loss on the 4-offer $1,000 VISA.

I applied for manual credit on Oct. 1, and have been in contact with support since then.

Also, don't assume because the product costs $25, that the rate must be < $25. This is probably true [i1ee95c2372]sometimes[/i1ee95c2372], but it is certainly not a rule.

Like FON said, I don't think you can compare the leverage of a Brandarama or a FreePay (in their heyday, at least) with little freebie startups when it comes to negotiating rates. I've heard of some pretty impressive rates myself. And by the time you add in the 15-minute surveys at registration (each ad or logo impression), the sale of your e-mail address, and the payments on offers, I don't think $100 for 4 offers is a big stretch.

[quote97e7eed1f6="orangejuice"]It can't just be breakage either, I would think 90% of people confirm and get their gifts. I am probably wrong on that to some extent, but how else do they make money>?[/quote97e7eed1f6]
90%? Not hardly. Obviously I don't work for them so I can't quote you numbers, but I think it's another "well known" in the industry that breakage is their primary source of income. Only us freebie "pros" have a high completion rate, and we constitute what... maybe 20% of their business? If that much? I don't know for sure, I'm guessing -- any other site owners have a better breakage judgment? I know the majority of the inexperienced public will, after sitting through the registration survey and completing a few offers, get cold feet and convince themselves "this really is a scam/too much work/too good to be true/etc." Brandarama still gets paid. Hell, they make a few bucks off the signup and e-mail sale even if people NEVER complete an offer. Get a couple million people a year to just make it through signup, and you're looking at several million in revenue.

Bottom line is that basic business sense applies if these companies were not making a healthy profit, they would not remain in this business. Especally those like Brandarama, I-Deal, etc. that are owned by larger corporations, who have stockholders that won't tolerate a subsidiary that remains unprofitable. The pre dot-com crash period, where you could operate in the red on venture capital for years, is long gone. The crash was a lesson learned by all in the industry, so you can be sure that it's a solid business model for these guys or they wouldn't be doing it.

Manual credit is a pain to get, but it's possible. My friend received manual credit for an offer he signed up for last year, but it took him about 6 months and many calls before they gave in and fixed things.

I'm going through the process of getting manual credit now myself, and no progress has been made since July. I've already done 2 replacement offers, but those didn't go through either. I've no idea why I didn't receive credit for these offers as I've had a 100% crediting rate on the 4 other brandarama sites I've done.

I heard something that sites like Brandarma make money off of interest, hence why it takes so long for them to ship.

Is this true?

They seem to order and ship in batches (at least the $1000 visa) so there will be some interest income there - from the time they get paid to the next time they ship, but I don't think it would be terribly significant. If they are cash rich there would be interest there too, but we'll never know that (unless they are a public company. Somebody give me their mother company's name and I'll try to find out). They would make far more money with people who don't complete the site.

Hello,

If you are waiting to get credited for an offer you signed up 3-6 weeks ago, I do recommend that you go ahead and sign up for different offers. I had a dispute with this company 2 weeks ago and it was not a good experienced dealing with their CS email support. I waited for yourmusic.com credits for 2 months and they were told by yourmusic.com that I didn't registered using the sponsor's page link. This was frustrating because I definitely sign up using the link from the sponsors page. All of my confirmation emails, receipts and credit card charges proof were all disregarded.

Note They don't notify YOU if you are waiting to get credited. If I didn't send them an email for status on the credits, I would have never known that the claim is already closed. It is almost impossible to request a manual credit with this site. So I signed up another offer and got credited after 3 days. I just mailed my confirmation paperwork today.

Good luck to yah )

You got lucky! I didn't know what went wrong when I registered with yourmusic.com. I was told that it could be a glitch or something. Instead of waiting for this issue to resolved - I just went ahead and signed up with another offer.

The forwarded confirmation emails or welcome emails (with yourmusic email template) didn't really help. So manual credit is almost impossible.

I registered for this one way back in May but never did anything. For giggles, I emailed CS about the 180 day limit since this was just over 180 days and doesn't show expired on my status page. CS said

[quote4e0e877c5b]Thank you for contacting us.

They are not enforcing the 180 day limit. As long as the links work people can work on the gifts.[/quote4e0e877c5b]

They basically said the same thing to me a long time ago... their not enforcing that rule... it's there just to get people to complete the sites and not park them forever i guess... just a scare tactic perhaps...

How far behind? Easy. They've shipped most of June but haven't shipped anything in July. The better question is when will the next batch of gift cards go out.

and that would sort of qualify for how far they are behind. They might send all of july out in december, maybe with august. That is what I want to know, when they are going to be getting to my card. I dont think that all of julys went out this month, if any at all.

I just called and the lady was soo nice about everything.

She told me that they are just finishing up the June Visa's and then they have to do july's next and that it will still be a while till they get to the visas from august (she said like January or Feburary). I then asked about the American Express cards and she told me that most if not all of them have been shipped or ordered and said to call them if a person wants a more updated timeline.

Then I asked about the Best Buy cards and then she just told me that there is a delay in shipping those.

There ya go guys, I hope that helps. Looks like July's Visas are going to be here sometime late December or early Janurary since they are just finishing up June.

Well..the reason I say that is because the offer died a little while ago, therefore they won't have many more orders to give out for that visa. Which would mean after they ship out August's...I [i285dffe9dc]should[/i285dffe9dc] be next in line.

[quote2f7a621efb="badlands23"]5 months just to be confirmed? Wow that's long. On top of the wait for the gift card. There has got to be an easier site/way.[/quote2f7a621efb]

I love how people complain when you are doing nearly NOTHING, and making thousands of dollars. If the wait is too long for you, then don't do it and leave your complaints about a completely legitimate company somewhere else.

In my opinion, yes it takes a long time, and yes it is frustrating, but the payoff is very good (especially for the 4 offer $1000) and I am for whatever keeps these guys from going under, and if sitting on the money for a while or whatever they are doing helps them to stay afloat, so be it.

The payoff will be worth it in the end! I'm not sure I would do another Brandarama site in the near future. I had a great experience with I-Deal! I received my sony laptop from them in less than 3 months! I got a cell phone from YFD a couple of years ago, it took 6 months. I don't really mind the wait. I love to show off my free stuff though!

Yea it is pretty slow. I think this might be one of, if not the, last sites I do. I'm 3/4 on it, and am running out of offers. I have an ideal check (or plasma) coming, and not enough last page nuitech offers left. So retirement may be on the horizon for me, might have enough for 1 more 3 offer $500 GC. But by the time I actually get it there may be a ton of new offers out there.

There is just too many ppl in july it seems cause it took 3 months to get June out. You're prob right cubbieco, its probably going to be May when I get mine unless they do some massive shipping in Feb/March which I doubt. I have a BB giftcard coming too but I was approved in Oct for that one.

prizejunkie

25-01-2008 18:46:48

Do you realize how much money in interest they make by sitting on cash of this magnitude for 6 months???????

What I highly doubt is that they continue to operate on such a margin that they have to wait for 6 months in leads before they can payout. A company like that would surely close it's doors if they're always in the hole.

He's right. Think of when you deposit a big check into a bank account. A check used from mutual funds account will sit in my bank for up to 1 week. They make a nice chunk of interest just in that one week of holding my money.

I've got to think that they will be speeding up at some point. I know that even if they do speed up, they will still take forever, but since they've shut down the 4 offer, $1,000 Visa, my faint hope is that once they get through the summer swell of completions, that they will speed up by a month or two.

skooter22c

there has got to be a breaking point when they switched it over to 8 offers. I am sure they got slammed with people completing it 4 offers but that the numbers dropped off some after the req. went up. I am sure there are still more people doing it then some sites but still less. I mean the best I can find anwhere else right now is 7 offers for $1000 but i am not sure if the are legit. It was

Two places say 6 offers for $1000 but when you get to the final page it says to 3 offers not 2, actually it says both. But I am unsure of the company. The offers are doable but only 4 to choose from. Then I can't find anything better than 10 offers for $1000. So who knows.

most places make you pay cash for gift cards. or debit.

From what i understand you could go
Prepaid->Retail maybe

but you cant got retail to prepaid or amex to visa, atleast not the greendot cards, you might be able to get 100 cards or so but the fees are like 6 bucks a card.

Ha, right. They got A-E down so far, that's 5 letters. It's only taken them 3 months to do that.

I did a quick search.. it seems they finished up June $1,000 VISAs in, get this - the beginning of October.

http//forum.freeipodguide.com/viewtopic.php?p=735039&highlight=june+visa#735039

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say they finished them up in the middle of November. That is Nov-Dec, Dec-Jan, Jan-Feb, Feb-Mar.
4 months of absolutely no $1000 VISAs, $500 VISAs - nothing. If they did indeed finish up the June VISAs in the beginning of October which it seems like, that would be 5 months... almost a half a year with nothing. I'm glad they started shipping again finally but one has to wonder.

First name David so the alphabetical could make sense. And yes, June was October. I was expecting mine before Christmas. They are doing more realistic offer to payout ratio's now so it probably won't be such an ongoing problem in the future. Sucks for now though.

This site was a biatch to complete. Took me FIVE months to get four offers to credit. I didn't get credited for three offers I did on this site. If it hadn't been a $1000 card I would've nixed it. Now I'll probably see the card..next year.

I'm well-versed with crediting and rarely have such issues. Brandarama seems to have the worst; this site was just horrible.

I am having trouble with yourtopbrands.com right now. I have 5/8 approved. I have 3 of the 8 that have been pending for a month. I got around to a make up offer yesterday and nothing yet. I follow the cookie cleansing before I do all my offers too. I emailed brandarama and got a canned response about not waiting long enough. If it has been a month is likly any of the others will credit?

ILoveToys

05-03-2008 19:31:57

Well, I've been doing this long enough I still use IE6 to complete offers with. I close down firefox and do all offers in IE, and refused the upgrade to 7 for that reason alone. I've only had 1 offer on brandarama not credit for me out of probably 20 credits I have received, but maybe I'm just lucky (probably not though).

mistertomlinson

06-03-2008 19:13:40

Or download a pirated copy of Parallels or VMWare and install Windows P

BTW, I use FireFox on my Mac and have very little trouble with crediting. Last 10 offer I Deal I did a good month ago went 10/10. I don't recall having trouble with Brandarama. Maybe one offer per site doesn't green, but that ain't that bad. I've never had the urge to boot into Windows to complete offers... Firefox/Mac is just fine.

That logic is stupid.

First of all, in June/July when people did these sites, it did not take 10 months.

So please, please tell me how people knew it took that long?

I really want you to explain your logic, how people who did the site in June/July of 2007, knew that it took so long? If people knew it was a ten month wait, it would of meant that people on this forum would have started these sites on September 2006, and not of gotten their gifts until the summer the majority of people started the sites.

But seriously, I want you to explain how people knew it was a ten month waiting period, especially those who did it in summer 2007.

tylerc

07-05-2008 08:09:12

Quite demanding, but I shall do my best

At the time people really started doing Brandarama sites (June/July), the wait was approximately 4 months for gifts, which was considered long at the time. However, this was before an OVERWHELMING amount of people began to do these sites, specifically this $1000 Visa site for 4 offers. I know I personally told about 5 people about it that all did it, who knows how many they told, and so on. Their customer service has said time and again they only have a certain amount allotted for orders each month which is set by their higher-ups or whatever. More people began to do sites, which means more people are on the list that only has a certain amount on each month to give out, which means longer wait times. At the time, I did not expect a 10-month wait period, you're right, but I wasn't shocked. As I waited for a couple months, I realized they were getting slower and it would probably take longer than 4 months. So, yes, I guess you're right, I had no way of KNOWING it would take 10 months, but I certainly wasn't surprised, considering the amount of people who did this site.

At least they aren't i-Deal, who would possibly just DQ a bunch of people because they don't want to pay. They are honest and legitimate, so quit bitching, everyone.

I have to admit I really had no clue it took this long for their gifts. After I started waiting a bit I decided to do some searching where I found some forums and then found out how long the wait was.....Im sure there are many others who had no clue what kind of wait list they were looking at or most likely they might not have done the site....like myself if I would have known I probably would not have done the site.....at this point.....all I can do is say ....whatever.

You wouldn't take $1000 for 4 offers if you had to wait ~9 months? Your loss.

i think what kinda sucks is that as the months roll by, brandarama may actually fall behind on payouts rather than make up ground.

so it may be the case that those of us who completed the requirements during the first 3-4 months of this year may have to wait 10 (maybe even 11) months to get their card.

Dray,

That is not my fear.... If they are ALREADY 10 months behind I wonder what it will take to fall 13-16-18 months or more behind. When will the BBB complaints start??? When will the small claims court lawsuits start????

It is black and white on their website 6-8 weeks to ship your gift. If you don't get the gift in the specified time then to me that is breaking your contract with your customer.

I think people were ok waiting 2-3-4 months but now that we are running 2-3+ months just to finish one months shipping list we are just going to get further and further behind. I know that the return on your investment is good with 4 offers for 1000 however how good is your return if you do the offers now and it costs you say $50.00-$100.00 and you get NOTHING..... Just a thought.

Also keep in mind that if it takes them as long to get through August as it took them for July, it'll be well over a year wait. Sure 4 offers for $1000 is undoubtably worth it, but over a year wait just seems a little crazy. They could at least update update there site saying it'll be a little more than 4-6 week wait. lol

Well I did brandarama sites KNOWING that the wait would be long. But I also know that I WILL get my gift. So when the gifts do show up it will be a really awesome surprise. Also I have the feeling when I get it, it will show up right on time when I need it the most. ;)

I don't think its a matter of employees but a matter of how they make their money.

It has been stated many times before that they possibly make some of their money off of interest and they are also limited to the number of Visa's they can order per month. It is not that hard to the same letter and card into an envelope that is printed out on the computer. It wouldnt take 9 months to do that.

So I really don't think it is a matter of "help"

I'm an A from August so hopefully I'll get mine at the beginning of next month. I'll let you guys know when it ships.

However, that's really good news, and I'm glad to hear it! Looks like I might get my August Visa before the end of summer after all.

Post subject $1000 Visa Gift Card Update
I spoke with Anne in customer support yesterday and she told me that they have worked it out with their vendor to print ALL remaining cards and ship them in July. She said that they have had trouble with their vendor which has caused problems in fulfilling prizes. Because of this they have decided to get away from the big dollar cards and want away from this vendor. I pressed her to see if that was a tentative date and she didn't budge. She said they would go out in July. She also mentioned that the remaining iPod Touch's and $250 gas cards should go out by August.

Woo hoo, I got 2 $500 Amex in place of my $1000 Visa Card. I am happy and not trying to complain but I REALLY wanted to get cash from the Visa card! Oh well. I was comfirmed to ship Aug, 2007, first inital T last B

I have looked but not hard enough I guess, I was trying to find the post where someone was talking about opening an account with google or something to get cash out. any ideas? Thanks!

Most def. I don't see why they don't if they're having vendor issues. Unless they get a discount when buying the cards in bulk.

tylerc

Sending checks would be really easy, but if I got cash for some of my gift cards (Nordstrom's, Macy's, etc) I would end up saving the cash instead of buying stuff. Well, I would save most of it.

You won't be able to get cash from the Amex cards unless you have a merchant account. I literally tried everything else.

Or you could do the store return stuff, but that takes alot of effort.

I honestly dont know why they havent switched to checks.... would even save them tons of headaches...

The pamphlet says you can't but I did. The problem is they hold ~$100 for a few days for some reason. When I bought gas with it, I checked my balance online and it said I had a pending $100 charge but after a couple days it dropped and the real amount showed.

tylerc

10-07-2008 11:44:07

I e-mailed support and they said they are still on August for Visas and September for non-Visas. I can't believe it's taken them over 2 months to get September out. I told them (politely) there's no way they don't have the kind of money to just do a mass shipment and get everyone caught up, at least to the end of 2007, but she said that's all the information they have. At least they responded quickly and were nice about it.

slambam

I think the $100 hold for if you prepay is because when you first put in the card, it verifies that $100 is available on the card. If $100 isn't available it rejects the card. Example is if you have $20 left on the card, and it takes the card, the gas pump isn't going to stop at $20. So if the amount exceeds $20, the card is overdrawn, and especially since it is a prepaid card, there may not be a way to recoup the funds.

An interesting note on this subject, I've walked into a gas station before questioning the reason why the pump didn't like my card when I had enough to pay for gas (I wouldn't if they didn't!) - they explained just that to me (that the pump rejects if you have less than $100-ish available)...

That said they'll still happily take your card inside, since you're charging the full amount upfront, and if it bounces back at em, well, they'll know before they charge you )

How could you put in PayPal? PayPal doesn't distinguish GC from CC from debit card. You can't fund a PayPal account from a card, only a bank account. You can of course pay via PayPal and have it charged to a card, but you can't transfer money from the card to your PayPal balance (unless something has changed). If you could, that would be a free and easy way to take cash advances from CC's, and they don't allow that since the CC issuers make megabucks in transaction fees and higher APR's for cash advances.

tylerc

22-07-2008 06:19:55

I don't think you can buy money orders with these gift cards.

dmorris68

22-07-2008 09:16:03

No, a money order would be an easy end-run around the cash advance restrictions. You cannot use a credit card (or a debit/gift card processed as a credit card) to extract cash, or anything easily converted to cash, without going through a cash advance transaction. That means no money orders, PayPal account funding, or in most cases, purchases returned for refund to a store (which is why most stores will only credit refunds to the card used for the purchase, or else they will give a store credit/GC). Debit/GC cards do not support cash advance transactions, although if you can manage to get a PIN for a debit card you can often withdraw cash from an ATM (which isn't a credit transaction).

This is so the CC issuers get paid extra for the cash advance. The higher APR and transaction fees required for cash advances not only increases their profits, but discourages use of CC's as an easy loan vehicle, or for purchases where CC's can't be used (and losing the subsequent merchant processing fees).

[quotea967db0c60="sdjunkk"][quotea967db0c60="tylerc"][quotea967db0c60="sdjunkk"]Can anyone let me know, how these gift cards are getting delivered?

Are they coming by USPS mail or by any other services such as FedEx, ups, DHL etc?

I just moved to a different address in the same city and I have not informed the BR about my address change. My status says that my Gift cards are shipped on 07/07/2008 but still I have not received them yet (as of 07/15/2008). Any idea?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.[/quotea967db0c60]

They are sent USPS Certified Mail, so someone has to be home to sign for it.[/quotea967db0c60]

Thanks for your reply Tylerc.

Will the USPS certified mails be forwarded to the new address?

Thanks[/quotea967db0c60]

This is from an email that I got from USPS when I changed addresses.

" li Special Services Certified, Collect on Delivery (COD), Delivery Confirmation�, insured, registered, Signature Confirmation�, or special handling mail is forwarded without additional special service fees when mail is being forwarded to a domestic address only.

Well I am back - they told me also that they sent my problem to their tech support so this does not happen again. Funny how they couldn't find any information on me and as soon I stated that I have the actual 1099 from them, it just happened to appear. I think they are trying to find ways to get out of paying up- they are probably in the hole since they are trying to catch up.

I think OJ has a merchant account for his business.

A "true" merchant account like most businesses have, that processes CC's through a terminal and deposits directly to your bank (as opposed to an online service like PayPal), usually require an application process that includes a fee and credit approval. They don't just give them out to anyone.

yeah, that is pretty much how you do it but you can't send it to yourself, at least I couldn't. I just sent it to my friend and she paid me for some "mechanise". They did question what she was buying from me, but gave them some BS answer and they were fine with it.

As I recall, using gift cards to fund PayPal transactions is against their terms of use. I expect either they can detect it as a GC and refuse it outright, or if they figure it out later they can freeze your account or ban you.

But if you do try, let us know if it works. ;)

I know this will hack some people off, but thought I'd mention that I got my $1,000 on Sat. Best part was that it was a check.

A few months ago I asked for them to send a check instead but they told me no then and to wait and be patient (in so many words) so I didn't expect anything for a while and for sure didn't expect a check. Was a good weekend.

Same thing happened to my $2,500 scholarship site. I emailed explaining the issue and was told they were having technical issues and would have it fixed soon. Well, a good month passed and the issue remained so I contacted them again (I was in no hurry because it's not like they were going to ship it anytime soon anyway). That time they responded with an apology and my account status showed up just fine.

In response to some of the issues you guys are having... I as well got the no status page a few days ago, and they told me that after a certain amount of days, the account information is archive, and thus cannot be seen on the site until they unarchive it... srry if its already been said. just wanted to throw it out.

I am still waiting on the elusive $1,000 visa. received this response from YTB last week. Unfortunately, even if we were to file a class action, if they are going through some sort of reorganization, the courts will likely grant them leniency.

Thank you for contacting us.
We are currently experiencing huge delays in shipping, due to high demand of certain gifts and the website growing rapidly. We are exhausting our best efforts to get caught up again. We are currently on the August mailing list for the visa gift cards and the October mailing list for all other gifts

I don't mean to sound rude but would it be at all possible to get a screen shot with everything you don't want us to see blacked out? If I saw that it would change my mindset from "Take this with a grain of salt," to "OMG YES! PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY GETTING STUFF!"

Again, I don't want you to think I'm calling you a liar in any way because I'm not. But I'm sure you can understand why I'm skeptic.

Right now it feels like someone just told me that they saw a pig fly.

Can either of you screen shot just the CTS part? That would be amazing. If not, thanks anyway.

The Hockey company is the same company that does GGW, so I don't think they're hurting for money. I got my DVDs, but their customer service is so poor that it ranks right up there with CCN.

Are you fricken kidding me? "I am sorry but we do not know the status of your gift." So, does this mean that I will never receive my gift because they lost my information, or does this worker clearly not know anything? li( I hope that I will get it before summer.

Well this is the $1000 visa thread? Of course I emailed them via the page. I've been doing sites like this for years now. I don't know if I should try emailing them again since both times it was the same person responding. I emailed them the first time because my gift status page was messed up, now they fixed it but they do not know anything about my gift? I would have rather heard they were still on July. The exact reply was, "I am sorry but we do not know the status of your gift."

Um, I was rather sarcastic.... I was paying a lot of "atten." It pisses me off how the woman can't even tell me what month they are on. She basically told me she has no clue about my gift at all. How the hell will they ship it within the next 5 years if she doesn't even know anything. I was expecting to hear the same old bull about being on July. This truly proves these people answering the phones and emails know nothing. I think I found the ultimate winner who wasn't even told to say they are on July.

explaining to my mom, sister and a couple of friends what i was doing with GGW DVDs was a real treat. i also told a co-worker (who completed a couple of i-deal sites) that i signed up for the GGW offer.

i had a memorable conversation with GGW customer service, the lady telling me they had more explicit videos was priceless.

I sold my GGW DVDs on Amazon for more than I got them for. And then I got a free DVD because they charged me even though I canceled... so i called them up again and they refunded me. A week after they refunded me it came in the mail and I held on to it for awhile to see if they'd charge me again. They never did. Muahahaha.

Hi everyone. I haven't read through this whole forum since it is 40 pages but here is my situation

This is for YourTopBrands
$1000 Visa Gift Card
Confirmed; to be shipped
[Dec-11-07 1209 PM]

This is for Brandarama
$200 J.Crew Gift Card
Confirmed; to be shipped
[Jan-23-08 335 PM]

Today I received 2 separate pieces of mail from the same address. In each is a typed letter and a form. Both letters were dated Jan 21 2009. One letter is from brandarama about the jcrew card and the other is from YTB about the $1000 visa.

I find it strange that bother letters were dated the same day even though they were confirmed to be shipped at different times. And each letter has a different gift card number. They are 1 number apart.

The letters say I need to purchase the cards within 30 days and then fill out the forms and mail them back and within 8-10 weeks I will receive a reimbursement check. Is this how it worked for everybody else or did everyone just initially receive the cards? I'm so weary about getting scammed with this and wasting $1200

See that's another thing that is bullshit. They should have at least emailed you to let you know you were receiving the certificate because if it got lost in the mail then you could contact them about not receiving the letter.
