I'm frustrated with Brandarama. I thought for sure I'd have my Best Buy card from yourtopbrands by April 29th to get Grand Theft Auto 4. Everything on here said it took 6 months to get it but I"ve been waiting for 7 1/2 months. Just wanted to vent a bit. Thanks.

I'm waiting since Sept., and I check most everyday still, but guess what. I don't bother bitching about something I can't change. Needless to say my forms for a $500 Macy's card are in the mail tomorrow )

Yeah when i did the 4 offer 1000 visa the wait time was 4 months. I don't expect to see it till the mid of the summer (I was CTS August). It sucks that you have to wait that long but it is definitely worth it in the end.

Money in the bank.

You can't just use cash to buy a video game? This isn't a life-ruining experience.

"oh Cry me a river!"

We are all in the same boat. If you can't handle waiting for something you are getting almost free. There is little pain in waiting, unless you plan your life around it. Don't plan. Forget about it, as if you weren't getting it. So when you do it will be that much sweeter.

I think most people have the feeling that at some point there has to be a breaking point. They will either close up shop or do some kind of mass DQ. I don't know but seems pretty bad when their website says one time frame and then it will get to be a 1 year turn around or MORE in the comming months as things have been progressing. Maybe I am the only one that thinks this can't just keep on going. Too many people getting 1000 visas for 4.00.... ?

I agree with the op, it is taking a ridiculous amount of time, too bad there is nothing we can do...oh well still making money I guess

Everyone here knew before they started a Brandarama site that it was going to take a LONG time to get their gifts, especially the $1000 Visa. Stop complaining and be patient.

Yea we knew it would take a long time, but not 7+ months.

My advice would be to do a site in the mean time with a faster turnaround time, i.e. I-deal, YFD...

or just stop doing the freaking sites altogether. That might cut back on the bitching.

Don't act as if you never had to get something off your chest before.

I can say what I please.

1. That person knew what they were getting into.
2. Social Psychological studies show that "venting" does not really help anger issues but rather make the anger worse.

It's nothing to fight over. I was just getting something off my chest, right?


Yes, I have been waiting 9 months to get my Visa but I have yet to make a post about it.

I don't believe 7-8 months ago, anybody expected it to take this long.

And please don't lecture me on what you learned in High School, I could care less. No theory can be applied to everyone. Everyone releases stress in a different way. Again, while I'm proud you paid attention in high school, don't apply it to everyone and sound as if you know what you're talking about.

Actually, it is not a theory. It was a validated peer reviewed experiment that is the now the basis for the correlation of frustration and anger. Oh, and I learned it in college.

Back on topic, I do not see them getting any faster as it is, only longer. I have a Best Buy gift card CTS in October and I am hoping to get it in June.
