So yes, I am completing FGC.net, and I am doing my offers currently.
I don't know about this place though, it seems kind of iffy. Can anyone post some stories that happened to you while completing this site? Is it legit? Thanks!

Well, It just seems awkward. I never have completed a site like that before where you mail in the certificate. Even if my offers arent approved before I cancel (it says 45 days), if i cancel within 7 days, will I gett credit still?

I am waiting for my check from this site... but received checks from other yfd sites.

Alright cool. Like i said above though, it says you wont find out if its approved or not for like 45 days, if i cancel within my 7 day trial or so, will they still count it as approved?

If the offer goes through, it will almost immediately go from "pending" to "in progress". If not, then you'll most likely have to do another offer. I did Scholastic and they never credited my account.
I'm now waiting on my Elite. I've been "confirmed" for about 4 weeks now. Will let anyone know of my progress.

That is not true at all... After the 45 days has passed if it still has not credited you can e-mail them and they will ask for a copy of your credit card statement where you were billed for a offer. Then you make all the adjustments to your credit statement pointing them to the offer in question and they will update the account manually for you.
Did this with them last week for EFGC and if the offers don't end up crediting on here will do the same on it as well.
Customer service through them has been awesome.

Right, but I didn't want to wait on that to happen so I could get the system earlier rather than later. Besides, I've done Scholastic in the past and they are very bad at crediting, not YFD themselves. You're right, they're very responsive and have good CS.

the best? lol I think Shopping essentials and all those 2 dollar offers have the best crediting, scholastic has been about 50-60 percent for me

in my case... about 5 days after it is shipped. and i live near boston. If you screen name dictates you live in the Bay Area of CA... I would assume you would get it very fast seeing as Netblue is in Mountain View, CA.
You will get a 570, 580 or 590 for the check... i forgot the exact number... its like 520 or so plus the 50, which they now include in one check... before they did not.

45 days?
beerman
23-11-2007 08:07:42
Is that a question? or are you saying they take 45 days?
to clearify, I waited the inital 45 days and I have 1 more offer to complete....I thought replacements were only a few days.
bruman
23-11-2007 08:38:16
What do you mean replacements? You completed an offer, didn't receive credit and now are doing a replacement?
If that's the case, just go for manual credit. It is very simple, easy and takes only a couple days.
If you did not complete all the offers (which wouldn't be a "replacement" anyway.. because what are you replacing?), then manofice is correct.. it will be 45 days.
I think you may have confused i-deal direct with YF direct.. I-deal replacement offers credit next day. For YF Direct, there are none.

None of my last few accounts have gone shipped, I just received the checks one day, nor have the offers gone from "in progress" to being able to print the certs on there own. I think there system is getting screwy.
