How do I log into my account if I haven�t had a chance to create a password. Can you please help me, also with which network are you affiliated.[/quote8a39a1bf29]

Hey guys, you should try your email then password is 'password' (sensitive case!). It works for me. Then you can just change or update your password as soon as your login!

Let me know if this works for all of you )

Note If the password ('password') didn't work. I'd recommend that you guys send an email= to email=support@therewarddepot.comsupport@therewarddepot.com to email=support@therewarddepot.comsupport@therewarddepot.com/email

They did replied to me and confirmed that my password is 'password'.

Hope this helps!

tyler,

Sent them an email= about your login info email=support@therewarddepot.comsupport@therewarddepot.com about your login info email=support@therewarddepot.comsupport@therewarddepot.com/email

Sounds like the password has to be activated and once they set it up it is defaulted as 'password'.

I tried to register, and it said I wasn't eligible. I tried another email, and when I went to log in I saw that my other email address and password was already saved. I logged in and saw that like 6 sites were listed, I never completed one, I just signed up to see what the requirements were, like a year ago. Now I remember what company this is, I never did their sites because of the oods on the last page, but it looks like it's better now...

heather77

16-07-2008 11:37:40

Hmm, I just remembered, when I was signing up for those other sites, I had one (I think it was an airline gc) that for some reason had a redemption link when I logged in, even though I didn't do the site. I sent it in anyway, thinking what the hell, but of course I never got anything. Maybe they think I got a prize already and that's why I'm not eligible.

I was just looking around and I saw the company's name (DirectGiftCardPromotions LLC and ConsumerBargainGiveaways LLC) mentioned in this. It shows them being sued by Southwest Airlines earlier this year for "Trademark Infringement". I don't know how good or bad that is. Unfortunately you can't see anymore than what this site shows unless you log in.

Ok, Its The Reward Depot. I should have realized it earlier when you all were talking about emaling them. Thats the page it goes to to email them. I found 2 complaints on them. One from last year and the other from this month. Both are on RipOffReport.com Hopefully they have been around for a while because 2 complaints wouldnt be bad. Being that 1 complaint was from last year, they apparently were around aleast a year. Thats all I could find.

slambam

21-07-2008 15:55:20

I found all those links through google. Don't really recall what i searched to get them, just a bunch of random stuff. I think every freebie site is on ripoffreport, so only 2 complaints is pretty good.

I-Deal was in the middle of buying it when that 6 offer Plasma was going around.

Now it is Top-Notch Media, an I-Deal DBA.

Do not be surprised if the same thing is happening with this site.

Unless they recently got bought out which would be why the offers changed i think i got taken. I know other companies have bad reports but from reading the report this person sounds like they knew what they were doing. most complaints form nuitech and such are from people not even completing the site.

I will wait until we find out if they are on the up and up and then I can post them, if anyone is interested. I haved not found any other complaints. That is highly unusual.

I agree with you. It does seem to read that way. As far as their clause regarding lawsuits, etc., I have never seen anything like that. I'm not even sure if that would hold up in court. I dont think they can take your right away, but I can certainly be wrong. This is a long shot...but are there any attorneys out there? Or maybe a student studying law?

zr2152

06-08-2008 22:44:13

As long as you agree to their terms and conditions then you are liable. BUT, if the judge finds that the clause they have is meant deliberately SCAM/SCREW you then you would be in the right. It is actually all up to the judge.

On a side note, the fact that they are an LLC usually means they are legit. It is not cheap to become an LLC.

The parent company, Acquisis, has its LLC from Delaware and it's registered agent is a company called CT, which has been in business for about 100 years and is reputed to be one of the most expensive agents in the state.

Acquisis is not registered as a LLC in Illinois. The Illinois address listed for the company comes up as an apartment building on a residential street when you do a Google Street View search.

I think they are or we would have read a lot of complaints on them. We'll see. Worse case scenerio, I did 8 offers for nothng. They didnt cost much.

Well look, with YFD, you have to contact them in order to get the status to change from pending to processing, right? Never fails, every site of theirs that Ive done, I've had to get them to give manual credit. It could be the same here. If the advertisers dont report it to them that you completed the offers, they have no way of knowing. Give it a couple of days if you want, or just go ahead and contact them now. As long as the 30 days are up, you can certainly do that.

You'd be surprised, these companies ship a lot of things. I-Deal has shipped W&D sets before, as well as lawn tractors. Since these are shipped by freight, like most big TV's, the shipping cost isn't that much different as they all take roughly the same space on the truck. I think it's more about size/bulk than weight, and per pound it's a lot cheaper than a common carrier like UPS.

I was kinda hoping this site turned out to be legit, we could use some new reliable blood in the DIY scene. But it looks like my skepticism might have been founded.

I think it's more about size/bulk than weight, and per pound it's a lot cheaper than a common carrier like UPS.

I was kinda hoping this site turned out to be legit, we could use some new reliable blood in the DIY scene. But it looks like my skepticism might have been founded.[/quote105dabca9c]

Yep and you know never what kinda "deal" they could get for putting in multiple orders at once.

Why dont you email them back and explain to them that you belong to a forum and that none of us had heard of them, but a few decided to give them a try to see if they were legit, etc., and let them have the opportunity to prove themselves. Certainly dont mention any of the sites where we have been posting, let them wonder. But do it in a friendly way, although I'm sure you're not feeling very friendly at the moment. You dont want to close the door, you want to find out what you can do to "fix" the problem they have with your email address. I have a feeling that you may have clicked on an unsubscribe link, and thats where this is coming from. If that's the case, I may have done that myself. I'm thinking that you had already done the offers early on, didnt you? If I were you, I would want to try to salvage what you've spent time and money on, and not just give up on it. Dont give up.

It doesn't matter which forum to which you allude. The admission that you are using ANY forum to get or to disseminate information about the gift site operator's offers, crediting practices, etc is likely to get you DQ'd and shut the door on others trying to do the site.

Why do you say that? What makes you think that they frown upon it? I dont believe that for one minute. If that were the case, I believe alot of people would have been DQ'd already. They know these sites exist and you can bet they are monitoring from time to time. Hell, all they have to do is google their own sites/company and they would see for themselves what is being said and from which forums its being said. I'm sure they all have their own list of people they would love to get rid of and would have done it if that were the case. I dont think they have a problem with forums, only people that bad mouth them or speak of ways to beat the system or cheat them. If you are honestly completing the offers, as they want, then you are keeping them in business. Just my opinion.

No offense, but I think you're a bit naive about how this industry operates. And also forgetting that many of us have been a part of this "industry" for a long time. A number of members here own or have owned sites, networks, and publishers, and therefore know the business from the inside as well.

Organized forums full of freebie "enthusiasts" are, by and large, the bane of all of these companies. Some tolerate us, some are even nice to us, but many hate us. As mentioned, some have even stipulated in their terms & conditions that members of such forums were not welcome and would be disqualified if discovered.

The bulk of profit by these companies come from breakage, which is the industry term describing an incomplete referral that does not comply with the T&C by not completing enough offers, not completing them correctly, giving up on manual credit requests, being DQ'd for whatever reason, etc. Breakage generates profit for the company through the contact information gathered (sold to spammers), those pages of annoying up-front surveys, plus any offers that are completed. Just signing up to their site and forgetting about it, without even looking at an offer, generates revenue for them. Anything that results in a non-completion saves the company from having to ship a prize to you, resulting in pure profit for them.

Without question their highest percent of breakage (i.e. profit) comes from "regular" customers, meaning people who know nothing of the industry and forums like this, and who just get lured in by spam e-mail or banner ads. [i64ae6c72f9]This is their target market.[/i64ae6c72f9] These customers don't know exactly how these sites work and the techniques required to ensure they get credit for their prize. In contrast, we enthusiasts know exactly how to properly complete sites and offers, thereby -- as a group -- we are not nearly as profitable, if not downright unprofitable (a prize payout seldom equates to the revenue generated by the customer). So for every customer that completes and earns their prize, a company must have a LOT of customers who fail. Hence the frequent antipathy or even hostility towards organized groups such as ours, and the rules many have against congas and such. People like us are NOT doing them any favors. Perhaps we generate a few more breakage customers who would normally be too skeptical to ever try, but hearing us talk about it being legit makes them give it a shot, only to become frustrated or impatient and failing to follow through -- but I doubt those numbers are anywhere near enough to compensate for our high percentage of completion as a group.

As freebie enthusiasts, we should always maintain a low profile and never draw attention to the fact that we are any different from an ordinary customer, unless it's a company that you know has a presence here and condones or tolerates such activity. You're right that many sites monitor these forums -- some agents of these companies even participate in our forum -- but as a rule the big companies frown upon us. Most of us cannot be tied as forum members to our freebie accounts, unless we post enough details to do so, so them monitoring the forums isn't enough to cause us individual problems. But with a new, unproven company such as this, it's definitely a bad idea to advertise to them that you participate in forums like these.

This is also why, in an effort to help bridge the gap between us and them, to ease hostility and encourage cooperation, we have the rules we do against encouraging fraud of any kind, canceling offers, walkthroughs, and anything else that violates their terms, further impacts their profits, and compromises our trust with them. The good relationships we DO have are tenuous at best and would be easily compromised if we openly promoted fraud and other terms violations that robbed them of their profits or even cost them money.

Im sure that everyone taht signed up for that site or any of them clicked the link on this forum, meaning they will know where the traffic came from.

So they know about this forum which isnt a good start. If it was my account and knew that someone was already DQed for a "Blacklisted" email, i wouldnt post my status on here for everyone to see.

Let's look at the market Brandarama's ship times are becoming more and more delayed every month. They're up to about a year wait now... I Deal used to have 10 offer $1,000 sites up all over the place, now if you find one, it certainly requires a referral. Hell, $500 will cost you 8 offers and in some cases a ref. As for YFD... well, I'm not sure but I've read plenty of complaints about some new implementations to their approval system and some people claiming they're "dead." I haven't cared enough to really read into the details.

Now, all of a sudden this site pops up with an amazing payout ratio. Considering the direction the industry is currently heading in, I don't understand how this company can pull off such low requirements/high payouts.

Alright, since ideal is being terrible again ... whats the best link for cash/gift card? Maybe I'll give this a go ... I saw the $1000 visa one, but page 4 has basically no offers. Hmm, actually, it appears all page 4 are the same ... hardly anything to choose from .. avela, colopure .. not the best offers in the world.

Whats the 8 for 2000, the computer? I dont want to A. bother with having to sell the computer if I get something and B. don't trust this company and am OK with burning 4 offers but not 8. And C, the last page only has a few doable offers and Im not all that happy with trying avela or colopure, as Ive heard they arent very trustworthy. And, what happens if those dont credit,all thats left are OODs for me? But, if the 8 offer for 2000 is a visa gift card, than I'm all ear ...

I dont understand what you're pointing out, the laptop has the same terms .. are you saying that you need to keep the offer more than 30 days, b/c that's not what I'm getting from the terms .. only that its a 30 day crediting cycle.

In the resale department, I just saw a new macbook air sell for 1300. So, you're going to get taxed on the full amount, 2500, and you'll get ebay/paypal fees .... so what are you really getting for 8 offers versus what you'd get for 8 offers for the $1000 visa? I think I'm still leaning toward the 4 offer $500 ... but Im still waiting ... best of luck all.

mistertomlinson

09-10-2008 19:33:38

They can't tax you for $2,500 if the gift ain't worth that. I'm sure someone else could explain it better than me, but you can claim the value of the gift come tax time, rather than what they say it's worth... besides, I don't think they would actually tax you for that much.

Whether "legal" or not, they can and often do send you a 1099 for whatever value they want. I-Deal almost always sent out 1099's for more than the fair market value of their gifts. The only time I've seen it remotely accurate is when they send a check or gift card, in which case they don't have any wiggle room. Remember, the amount they send to you is a deduction for them, so the bigger the value they report, the bigger their own tax benefit.

The IRS does allow you to adjust a 1099 value to FMV for a gift, however it's a major hassle and if you don't do everything exactly right, you set yourself up for audit, penalties, or delays in tax refunds. First, you limustli have documentation [i3e47726e4e]from the time the gift was awarded[/i3e47726e4e] (not from the time you file taxes) showing what the going price was at that time, and as I understand it they want more than one advertisements to substantiate the market value. Also, the adjustment must be handled in a particular way, cannot be done on any shortform tax returns IIRC (must do a full 1040A), and last I attempted to do it through my tax software, there was nowhere in the software to enter it (and it wasn't clear where to manually enter it in forms mode).

So unless you use a tax professional that's familiar with this procedure, or do your taxes by hand and know the exact box to put this adjusted value, you'll run into problems doing this correctly. Bottom line submitting a tax return claiming one value while your 1099's (submitted separately to the IRS) have a different value will almost certainly cause your return to be scrutinized and held up. I decided it wasn't worth the extra cost and hassle, and just used the value on my 1099s even when I knew the value was inflated.

So with the terms and condition. Even though some trials are only a week or 2. We still have to stay until 30 days? Don't most companies charge a auto ship program and get charged for those products when you only want to try the trial? So is there a limit to how many products we can cancel after the trial. Or are we stuck with all the offers for 30 days? thanks i hope i get some more info on this before i start.

I have an update for you all to keep your mouth's watered. I've been going back and forth with customer service (which these guy's in my opinion is by far the best I've dealt with) regarding the new MacBook Air that Apple released a week or two ago and today I received and email stating the following

[ia2705d58f6]Dear Ben,

Apple is not shipping out the new MacBook Airs until early November, and it is likely that your gift will be shipped before that time. If it is, you will receive the original Macbook Air. We will send you an email with details and a tracking# once your gift has shipped.

Sincerely,

Customer Support[/ia2705d58f6]

Sound's like they're about to ship my laptop so thats good news. I suppose if I get the old one, I could just go to an Apple Store and exchange it for the new one. Of course Ill believe it when I see it. As usual, Ill keep you guys posted.

ploppsdman

20-10-2008 10:06:26

I hope it works out well for you ... I think I'll just stick with the 4 offer $500 ... if it works out, great ... if it doesnt, Im not out too many offers or my social security number.

Exchange for the new one for free? ?

That 2000 apple GC is tempting but its 12...kinda going towards the plasma + xbox 360

it def sounds like their legit, but honestly... how many gifts can they ship for 8 offers before they go down or raise the requirements....

You think they'll ship 1000's of $3k scooters that their only getting paid hundreds for the offers?

20-10-2008 11:08:24

i know..thats the only thing that bothers me.

slambam

20-10-2008 11:38:51

That's why I started the plasma site last week. My answer to everyone questioning is this... They sound good so far. Someone has received a valuable gift, and others have yet to have any problems during the process. Offers end up being like $60 or something I think, so it's worth spending that, rather than waiting and having the offers skyrocket. Maybe they have me fooled, but it seems very legit, and I just want to get in on it before it's too late. If I end up getting burned, $60 isn't gonna kill me. Especially if they raise the offers and then burn me after doing an extra 4-6 offers.

bayarea05

20-10-2008 12:25:22

i just signed up to the plasma + 360 site, i looked for my login and pass email and i didnt get it, does it take time to receive the email? Should I just start doing offers??

so is the best offer to value ratio the Black Macbook air for 8 offers? Might sign up at least, especially if this is the same company as the GPS one, since they have had a lot of happy customers.

tylerc

20-10-2008 12:57:57

It is the same company as the GPS/portable DVD player/other offers, Acquisis, LLC. It's worth $60-70 to figure out.

anyone?

If you are going to resell .. no .. I think the best value would be the apple gift card .... you'll probably get close to 1900 for the gift card, if not more ... the computer is likely only going to get you 1300 at most ... if that ... doesnt it retail at bestbuy, etc for 1400? My guess, its 8 offers for about 1100 or 12 offers for 1850 ...

tylerc

20-10-2008 14:54:16

Uh...the MacBook Air is worth $1,799, and sells for the same at Best Buy. You'd probably get $1,500 for the MacBook Air on Craig'sList or something similar.

Will you be receiving a different macbook air than this ..

http//www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8698894&type=product&id=1199495905344

If there is a different one that we are assuming .. that changes the calculation, and, as was discussed before, you are probably going to be taxed on the stated value of 2500 bucks.

Thank you for the update on the status of my gift! I would be more than happy to take the silver MacBook Air instead. Now I do have one question, at the time of sign-up the offer stated that my gift was worth $2500. Would it be possible to send the $2499 Macbook Air in-place of the $2500 Black MacBook Air? Im more than happy to wait until Early November for the laptop.

[i5949d7d93e]Dear Customer Service,

I have contacted Apple personally regarding the new MacBook Airs and they told me they plan to ship them the first week of November (2nd-8th) and that it would be much easier to pre-order the laptop now then to order it when they are released (which is only about two weeks away). According to Apple they are taking orders for them now and will ship them the first week of November. Would it be possible for you to simply order it now and not have to worry about acquiring them at a later date?

I have also come up with another proposition; would it be easier for you to send an Apple gift-card for the value of the laptop ($2500) so that you don't have to worry about anything regarding acquiring them and I'll take care of everything (ordering, payment, shipment, ect). Please let me know if either of these solutions would be a viable way of solving this inconvenience Apple has bestowed upon us.

Thanks,
Ben[/i5949d7d93e]

bennyboy, are u part of this scam? why didnt u just get the laptop option of gettin it soon and not waiting a couple of months gettin a differnt laptop.

whats this "mysterious" form your talking about?

Why the hell would I be apart of this scam? First of all its not a scam. Was I the one to post this website. No. I offered to be the guinea pig. Second of all I was being sarcastic by saying 'mysterious'. As tylerc stated, its just a form that no one needs to worry about. And third of all, why the hell would I want a piece of crap laptop now just to prove to you that I got something when I can wait a few weeks and get a really good laptop. I don't have to post here, its out of the kindness of my heart that I give updates [iea5bedb916]minutes[/iea5bedb916] after I get them.

BTW, Thanks tylerc.

Here's the update for my laptop.

Dear XXXXXX,

We have received your redemption form & W9 form. We are in the process of completing the order for your gift, however we are having trouble securing a MacBook Air in Black.

We would like to know if it is acceptable that we substitute the Black MacBook Air with a Silver MacBook Air.

Please let us know so that we may move forward with shipping your gift.

Sincerely,

What do you guys think. should i wait for black macbook or just take the silver?My friend received her silver laptop. Shes trying to sell it for $1799 in ebay.

tylerc

27-10-2008 13:20:52

She's not going to get retail for it, especially with the new models that were just released. I would tell them you want the silver Mac Book plus a gift card for the difference, since the value of the black one is $2,500 according to their website.

bennyboy5768

27-10-2008 15:20:08

You will not get any giftcards or checks from them, trust me, I've tried. Tell them you want to wait until the new MacBook Airs are released to get one (whether it be black or silver). Of course you can always get the current gen notebook from them but next week it will be obsolete when Apple starts shipping the new ones.

Also, Black Macbook Airs (and everything else) are at colorwarepc.com

theysayjump

27-10-2008 23:20:00

Anyone know if they will only honour requests to substitute a Macbook Air for a Macbook Air, or, if in lieu of a Black Macbook Air it could be subbed for a Macbook Pro (they're cheaper and better)?

That'd be pretty sweet.

Thanks for the updates benny.

Are you doing the black Mac Book Air site? If so, you could just ask once your offers go through.

theysayjump

Yeah I'm doing the black Macbook Air site and I only did my offers on the 10th, so I'm still waiting for them to go through.

bennyboy5768

28-10-2008 10:26:30

I've already asked for you guys and I already posted it a while back. I asked if they could substitute my gift for anything else, whether it be a check or gift card and they said no. However they were lenient on the fact that I could get a silver MacBook Air and not a black one. Only reason being that the black ones were not readily available.

If this is acceptable, we will move forward with finishing the order for the $2499 Silver MacBook Air.

mistertomlinson

The specs of the MacBook Pro are definitely better than the MacBook Air. It's faster, bigger hard drive, faster graphics card, etc... but the MacBook Air is much thinner/lighter/smaller and meant more for people on the go who need a smaller, lightweight notebook and aren't exactly worried about performing resource heavy tasks that would be better suited for a MacBook Pro.

... and no one has gotten anything from TheRewardDepot except Bob's cousin's best friend's hair dresser's uncle... but I too gave in and have began the site with little (no?) proof of their legitimacy. I've always told myself I would never be one of THOSE people... but I just couldn't let this one slide. The thought of them raising requirements, extreme shipping delays or mass DQ'ing/scamming people when waaaaaay too many start redeeming gifts convinced me to get it over with... hell, it's $75, give or take, for 12 offers.

Still waiting on my response to switch the Air for a Pro. Does anyone know if I can go to an Apple Store and 'return' the Air, get store credit, and buy a Pro with it (assuming I do indeed get an Air)?

I got a base line MacBook from i-Deal last summer but wanted the black one. I took it to an Apple store and told them I wanted to upgrade, and that it had never been opened, they took it back no problem.

Sweet! Did you need a receipt or anything or did you just do a walk-in and trade-in? Of course, I will keep it hermetically sealed at the time of trade-in. (Of course granted they send me an Air)

OK, so do one of their other sites? Theirs a 1k visa, a $3300 vespa, a $500 visa .. and so on. Of course, as I always type, I am waiting and advise the same.

I didn't have a receipt, just walked in and said I wanted a better model. They're ultimately getting more money from you, so why should they care? Have you sent your forms in? Can you give us a time line for you so far?

Here's the update of my account again.

Dear May,

I sent you an email on 10/30 (in response to your email. I was asking if the Silver MacBook Air is acceptable.

Here are the options with regard to your gift

1. We currently have the older model MacBook Air in our inventory (the ones that Apple was selling up until a couple weeks ago when they announced the new model. This model is worth $1799. We can send this to you along with a $700 gift card and you can use the $700 to have it customized in black (Apple does not sell Black MacBook Airs). We could ship this out within the next 2 weeks.

2. If you would like the new model $2499 MacBook Air (in Silver), it can be a several month wait as we do not currently have any in inventory. If you choose this option, I will need to send you a waiver to sign, acknowledging that you are accepting a substitution and it could take several months to receive the gift.

Please let us know how you would like to proceed.

Sincerely,

Customer Support

I don't understand this company. I sent them an email twice regarding my decision that i will take the Macbook Air Silver worth $2499 last October 30 and 31. And today they sent me an email again asking about my decision. I'm not sure how many customer service checked emails. Or if they fire some old customer service and they have a new ones. Because they keep repeatings themselves. Or are they going to send my gift or not? I personally contacted Apple today and he said that Macbook Air Silver $2499 is available. And they have that $1799 Macbook Air Silver but it is a refurbished. I wonder if reward depot is going to send me the refurbished one.

i did 2 offers about 60 days ago and only 1 credited. then i did 6 offers about 30 days ago and none have credited. you have to wait 60 days now until you can ask for credit. so they didnt all credit at 1 time for me. hopefully they will soon

Dear May,

We apologize for any delay in getting back to you.

I understand that Apple is shipping the new MacBook Airs, however we have standard procedures regarding gift acquisitions and this may not be an option for us.

That being said, we can offer you the following options

1. We currently have the older model MacBook Air in our inventory (the ones that Apple was selling up until a couple weeks ago when they announced the new model. This model is worth $1799. We can send this to you along with a $700 gift card and you can use the $700 to have it customized in black (Apple does not sell Black MacBook Airs). We could ship this out within the next 2 weeks.

If you choose this option, I will need to send you a waiver to sign, acknowledging that you are accepting a substitution and it could take several months to receive the gift.

3. Gift cards for $2500

Please let us know how to proceed.

Now you're telling me I could have done 8 offers for a $2,500 gift card?! liSIGH

thanks for telling me its 8 days for manuel credit...thats good to know. when they say gift cards do they mean apple gift cards or like visa gift cards? if they would send you the silver macbook air and $700 gift card to paint it that has to be a visa. so i wonder if its $2500 of visa's? probably apple gift cards but maybe not

Hmm. I think I've settled on the 4 offer $500gc, and that's b/c I dont understand the amount being offered by this new company. Everyone is scaling back their $ amount per offer, but this company comes around and is offering a $3300 scooter for 12 offers? They will willingly give you a $2500 gc to make sure your accurately compensated for the laptop? Perhaps they need to get their name out and that is why ... but something doesnt seem right to me.

They're not new they have been around for a while people just never talked about them because they used to have OOD's on the last page and it used to be like 8 offers for 500, They have been getting paid by Valueclick for the last couple of years and they haven't had to ship out any gifts. My guess is that they need some proof pics and testimonials to reel in more sign-ups and more profit.

He said not sites. As far as the offers go there have been some from the same company before. I have really only noticed it on the points sites. I am sure they are around on the DIY side too.

Good looks though. In regards to the OFFERS, unless stated in their terms, you usually can get away with it (although the offer itself might decline your card).

jasonatsmtc

13-11-2008 06:54:13

with a 2500 apple card you could buy 5 $500 cards then sell them on ebay for $550 each using the Live.com cash back system

JANGALANG32

13-11-2008 07:14:02

can you explain more? with $2500 in apple cards i can buy 5 $500 apple cards or visa cards? then i can sell them on ebay for more then they are worth? how?

box86rowh

13-11-2008 07:40:17

They offer a 10% discount to buyers using the Live.com cash back system. So you list your card for $550 buy it now and mention the way to save 10% in the auction. Anyone who buys your card only pays $495. So it is a win win. Just offer free shipping...

They're actually offering 25% to buyers right now

wiebelhaus03

13-11-2008 08:01:26

but no one will buy it at $550, because there are still people that offer it for under $500....

I dont think any store will let you use a gift card to buy a gift card...and damn i just forgot that ebay doesnt let you sell more than 500 at a time. what a lame rule.

They replied back to me instantly, told me that my 360 and plasma site is going to expire soon and that my best bet is to do the Vespa site but to expect a Vespa scooter unless they tell me otherwise later on.

Its between the Vespa Scooter and Pink Macbook Air (just asked them if they substitute anything for it since i'm a guy and really don't want a pink macbook lol)

The exception is the 500 gc ... they are now basically ood .. as I only see colopure. The apple is still the same .. I didnt look at the vespa, but I assume its the same as well.

Im curious about replacements. If the offers are taking 60 days to credit, theres no wiggle room if you get denied the manuel credit.

Do we know that its a hard 120 days to complete? And if we need to do a replacement, is it another 60 days for crediting? That seems like its a one shot and thats it kind of thing.

This seems to be the only potential hicc-up I can find with these guys now that we know they are shipping.

I don't think anyone knows how strict they really are with the time limits... kinda like how brandarama holds you to like what.. 180 days to do your offers once you start or something? But they don't actually care.

Obviously don't bank of them allowing you to continue if the time frame expires but no one knows how they will handle yet if someone hits the time limit

JANGALANG32

i actualy emailed them on that..i did 2 offers right when i signed up and then did 6 offers about 30 days after i signed up. after waiting 60 days for the 6 offers will put me at 90 days so i asked them if i could send in my offer conformation emails now and they said wait 60 days and if you go over the 120 day limit we will deal with the problem at that time. dont know what that means but sounds like they might work with me..

We typically ship the actual gift which you signed up for, however once all program participation requirements are completed we can discuss alternate fulfillment options.

ploppsdman

17-11-2008 13:04:49

Now that the $500 option is unavailable to me, Im wondering if anyone can settle something in my head given the ridiculous offer to $ ratio here, given what is available now from every other network, how is it not possible if not probable that this is a scam to get peoples ss #'s? If I lose 70 bucks in offers and get nothing, no worries, but they have shut the door on all $500 offers ... makes me nervous. Even if they pay you, it may be worth it to them to get your social security number .. .. that's my concern b/c they are offering SO much and seem to be real easy to deal with .. and no contact number.

orangejuice

17-11-2008 13:24:10

Um, people have been receiving laptops, so at this point i dont think its a scam, but i can bet they are gonna be DQing people.

So basically any offers that you completed that have NOT YET been approved are transfered to the 60 day waiting cycle? What a joke. My buddy just did all of his offers last night, and he signed up over 30 days ago. 60 + 30 is 90 days. So basically if offers dont credit you are screwed.

Then I went to check my email and I was plesently surprised to see this waiting in my inbox

[i563c67bb1e]Dear Ben,

Your gift will be shipping out tomorrow (11/18/08 ). Your FedEx tracking number is 0000000000000000. A direct signature is required due to the value of this item.

We would like to include you in our "Satisfied Customer Wall" on our website. We would greatly appreciate it if you would be willing to take a photograph of yourself with your gift and send it to us along with a brief note about your experience with us. You may mail it to the address below, or simply send as an attachment to email==support@therewarddepot.comsupport@therewarddepot.com=support@therewarddepot.comsupport@therewarddepot.com/email (sending us your photo constitutes we have your permission to post this information on our websites).

Once again, congratulations, Ben. We hope that you enjoy your new MacBook Pro!

Sincerely,

Customer Support[/i563c67bb1e]

After 128 days from the start of this program, I'll soon be receiving my gift.

BTW, i've been reading recent posts and it seems some people are a bit confused regarding waiting times for offers to be credited. Your offers will [b563c67bb1e]NOT[/b563c67bb1e] credit in 30 days, not even 45. It has always, and most likely will always, be 60 days from when you do your offers to the time you are credited. Whoever came up with any other number is sadly misinformed. Both my friend and I offers credited after 60 days. Good luck to those who have just started or are still waiting and ill post back with some glorious pictures of my new loot. (Several big, clear, 8MP pics at that)

bennyboy5768

19-11-2008 09:32:36

Ok, so the number they gave me works because now its showing that the package data has been transmitted to FedEx and it has a delivery date of Saturday. It must be the laptop because its showing it weighs 10 pounds. Only time will tell...

doylnea

19-11-2008 09:56:30

When you print a label, until it's picked up, the label is shown as invalid. If they printed 30 labels yesterday, and emailed you the number before it was picked up, that's why it was marked as invalid.

skott79

19-11-2008 17:13:32

update im trying to get credit for 1 of my offers and they said this

"The sponsor is still working to confirm your participation in this offer.

If you are concerned that your account may expire before this time - do not worry; if we verify that all requirements were completed prior to the specified timeframe, we will reinstate your account if it expires. When we reinstate your account, we will extend it for the number of days of the delay in getting confirmation from the sponsor (at this point, it would be an extra 7 days)."

looks to be good! from what they said i guess you could do offers all the way up to the 119th day and you account will still be good. good to know in case i have to do a replacement offer

With regard to your gift - once you have completed all program requirements we can discuss other options for your gift.

Due to complications outside of my control, I now have a new delivery date of the 28th (Black Friday). Ill post back at that time (hopefully) with pictures.

Also, I would advise that people who have just signed up, are waiting for their offers to credit (60 days, remember), or are just plain annoying to NOT email them regarding if they can change their gift, ect. Also, if you haven't waited 60 days like the rest of us and your emailing them early so they can process your manuel credit in the future I have one thing to say to you, your only hurting it for everyone else. Be patient and wait until you can claim your gift. Good things come to those who are.

That's what I was saying.

People need to wait their turn before they start to annoy CS. Who knows, CS might start to get mad at these people who are asking 5 days after sign up on how they want their gift.

You really think that by emailing them one email is going to change the outcome for everyone? Interesting, you must really buy in to the Butterfly Effect.
Also, it has been well over 30 days since I completed my offers (yes, not 60, but none the less) and I think it's okay to ask a company that you just invested YOUR money into the status of credits for your account. Don't get bent out of shape about it, saying that people are emailing them after 5 days of signing up may be a bit of an understatement there bud.

lol so it's ok for you to get the last word in, which makes everyone who disagrees with you look like the bad guy?

What I was saying, maybe others too, was that this information got posted, multiple times. No need for people to keep emailing them. And I guess you must not get out much, because you have the "customer is always right" mentality

Companies have changed their policies based on their experiences with CS before. If they get bombarded by the same questions or questions that are irrelevant to said user, then they may just stop answering CS e-mails altogether as it'll be too much work to go through everything just to answer the people with real concerns or problems.

There's no reason to e-mail them asking them about gifts and what you're going to get, or manual credits, if you're not even eligible, it's just pointless. What if you don't qualify?

Just chill, wait your time and then ask questions at the appropriate time.

That being said, I'm at 44 days since I did my offers so I'm off to ask them if they have my tracking number.

[quote12f581fa5f="JANGALANG32"]anybody know of any offers that reports right away or at least not around the 60 day wait? i think i need to do another replacement offer and time is of the essence

dont know if its ok to ask this if not please let me know[/quote12f581fa5f]

Are you not getting manual credit?

orangejuice

I would ask for manual credit AND do another offer, jsut to cover your ass.

Also, for the people that started the site before the 60 day rule came, are they still bound by the 45 days or did they screw everyone to the 60-day rule...i am at 45 days today.

i am working on manual credit but i did the magazine burst offer but canceled it because it wasnt $27 it was $99 because each magazine charged shipping and handling. so i canceled it when i really wanted it but now i am thinking i wont get manual credit for it so i need 1 more

As of April 7, 2006, the terms have stated the following

[i0201314f45]4.3 Waiting Period. You must remain an active member for at least 30 days and observe a 30 day waiting period for completion of all Sponsor offers.[/i0201314f45]

As of July 25, 2008, the terms have stated the following

[i0201314f45]4.3 Waiting Period. You must remain an active Member for at least thirty (30) days in order to earn Credits in connection with the Program. In addition, there is a sixty (60) day period between the time that you complete an Offer and when Your Member Account is credited with the applicable Credit.[/i0201314f45]

Nowhere in there does it say 45 days. It has always been 60 days.

Janga, I would ask for manuel credit anyway, whether you canceled it or not.

I have spent the last hour and a half reading every single post in this thread.

Some questions...

I see that the pink laptop is now $2500 - 12 offers.
I'm thinking about doing that one. (Wish I got in when it was 8)
There is no final word on the Vespa, right?

Like an idiot I wasted pretty much all offers I could do on Brandarama last night before finding this thread.

If I sign up now, I have 120 days to finish all my offers.
I see a lot of you completing all your offers in one sitting.
Is there any benefit to this?

And I should receive credit about 60 days after completing the offers?
And if they all don't credit and I need to do replacements, won't I be screwed if I have to wait another 60 days?

Lastly, if my order goes through on the individual offer site, should I assume that I'm good to go for crediting? (I ask this because sometimes on Brandarama you can get away with getting credit if you completed the same offer several months ago.)

If anyone could take the time to answer any of my questions it would be much appreciated. Again, I read this whole topic and I feel unclear on these things. Thanks!

EDIT Is the best 8 offer one still the original $1900 on the first page?

I fear that I might not be able to complete 12 offers in 120 days because right now there are very few I can do and if they don't update offers frequently then I'd be screwed. (Do you think they'd give me enough offers in 120 days to complete a 12 offer deal?) I want to wait until new offers go up but at the same time I want to get my foot in the door while I still can.

I'm new to this site but not DIY. I'm over $14,000+ by Brandarama so I know how these things work. I'm just looking for some specifics on this one. Thanks!

I don't think that means you have to stay active with your offers for 30 days. you just have to be a member of yourlaptopsavings for 30 days and wait 30 for offer credit.

Given that credit takes 60 days and you only have 120 days to complete them, parking one is not the best strategy in any case.

7/8 credited. I sent in a credit request.

How long does it usually take them to complete the MCR?
btw, I completed my offers Oct 12.

Also, what email address are you guys sending the MCR's to?

I'm impressed.

As for the timeline, I emailed them about changing my address if they are shipping it after the 15 (I'm at school now and will be going home for 4 weeks starting the 15th). They told me that if I didnt send the forms out today that they will most likely be sending out the card after the 15th.

Maybe that gives you a shortened time line. I would say around 3-4 weeks.

For those too impatient to scan through the thread, here is bennyboy5768's timeline

He did his 8 offers July 17
Had 8 of 8 credited 9/25 and sent in his claim form
Had them request a W-9 on 10/8
Got an email about the shipping delay for the new MBAs on 10/20 (then went back and forth with them about substitution)
Finally received the goods 11/28.

Sorry guys but I just don't live on the forums. To answer your questions here we go Turn around from when they get the form was next day for me. Make sure you send in a W9 because that messed me up. They do not accept faxed W9's (trust me I asked). I have no experience with manuel credit but one of my offers credited to the wrong page and a quick email fixed that problem in a jiffy. TheRewardDepot is a great company and if you ask (after you've waited your appropriate time) they're more than happy to work with you on whatever issues you might have. Last but not least, Eeyore deserves some +Karma for his detective work.

You don't need a W9 if you did the $500 GC do you? I know that for I-Deal you do not. It didnt say that I needed to send it on my redemtion form either.

I would send it but I already have the envelope sealed with my redemption form inside. I don't want to waste postage.

I did the $1200 Plasma TV site, all offers showed completed yesterday, and all looks normal for me today. The "Your Status" space says all the offers I did, the space below that shows "$1200 Samsung HDTV", and the "Next Step" part says "Awaiting Free Gift, Please Allow 6-8 weeks!" Must be certain sites that have this problem.

I think it's the sites that have either changed or have been taken down.

I just realized that the link for the black mac offer has changed and that's the one I signed up for. It says I completed and can fill out my redemption form. But I haven't done anything, also there is no picture.

Yeah, my account's jack'd too. It says that I've completed the requirements (about a month ahead of schedule) but doesn't actually tell me which offers I have received credit for (I completed an extra offer on each page). I got so damn excited too.

FWIW, I did the 12 offer $2,000 Apple gift card site which hasn't been taken down yet.

Trying to claim gifts without completing the requirements is a huge dick move and as an Admin I'd be tempted to ban anyone who did send them in without completing the requirements.

As for the sites being jacked, my offers credited a couple of days ago and I sent in my forms yesterday, but my account is the same as you guys to an extent. It doesn't say Black Macbook Air on the main page, but you can click on Complete Offer, and it then shows the offers I completed.

her are my thought as i was doing the site with a friend and i am still working with one of the guinea pig accounts that signed up in july.

Offer take 45-75 days to credit
YOu should not be printing certificates if you do not have offers showing.

All sites are showing redemption forms regardless of offer completion.
I belive that all pictures are not showing any gifts as well.

I would bet money that most peoples acounts say

"You have completed as required by this offer."

with nothing below but should say the same thing with your offers showing and page number.

I would advise people to just wait for the system to be fixed and not scam this company.

It has been a while but they emailed me with my manual credit recently so alll my offers are showing.

good luck to all and dont try to scam them please.

No. Let's not calm down.

By sending in a redemption form for a gift that you did not fairly earn slows things down for the rest of us. They have to go through all those bogus accounts and probably double check everything to make sure that there is not an error with other parts of those accounts. So DON'T send in those forms for the parked accounts. It could make things worse for all of us and possibly piss off this new and great company.

Exactly, but not only that, but with a bunch of greedy bastards sending in forms without completing the requirements it'll only make their jobs more tedious and there might be more of a chance of someone slipping through the cracks who didn't complete the site, but get their gift anyway.

I think I have every right to be pissed at people even contemplating doing this because I completed the site legitimately, months ago, and if I get screwed out of a gift (because nobody knows if they'll bail, or if they'll only send out a few, or if they'll just get pissed at everyone harassing them and not send anyone anything) after being approved and sending in my forms, I'll be a very upset young man.

I don't think this site would intentionally bail right now. It would make a lot more sense to just not payout and bring in as much revenue than to just close the sites. Why would they credit a dozen people yesterday just to skip town today?

I don't know if you guys read my earlier post in this thread, but I think this glitch thing happened a couple of years ago when I was signing up for all kinds of freebie sites , and when I checked my page on this one I had a big list of gifts and a link to print out my redemption form for one of them. I didn't remember finishing any offers for it, since this company used to have impossible oods on the last page, but I dropped it in the mail anyways on the off chance that it was for a gift I actually qualified for. Naturally, nothing happened. Anyhoo, fyi.

BTW, before anyone gets all hot and bothered, I wasn't trying to "scam" anyone, I was just crossing my fingers and hoped I had completed some offer that I didn't remember...

Well mine says the same thing (Im only 5/8 ) But if you notice the redemption form(in my case) does not show the gift that I supposedly qualified for. So, that being said, it would be pretty stupid to send in a form that doesnt even say what you completed and hope to get anything from it.......

frost0g

07-12-2008 18:04:16

did anyone notice what went down a few days before the 'glitch'? if you logged in through therewarddepot.com and checked your status, it said the usual something along the lines of '... 0 of Page 2 offers, 2 of Page 3 offers..' whatever.

but. if you went to yourlaptopsavings.com and looked at the bottom, they had updated their tc so that it was no longer 8 offers (2 on each of the 4 pages). it was 2 silver, 2 gold, and like 6 or 8 platinum. and from the main page you could access each of these three silver/gold/platinum pages, and could no longer access the old 4 offer pages.

now there are no links. you cannot access the gold/silver/platinum pages.
you also cannot access the other old 4 page offer format due to the fact that they have fast tracked everyones accounts to winning nothing.
(these two facts lead me to believe that their glitch was an easy, global fix to keep people from visiting the offer pages while they re-vamp)

my question here is, when this glitch is fixed (assuming it is), will people that signed up before the glitch/change of tc be bound to still doing 8 offers (with the crappy page 4) or will they be allowed to change to the new system (it ended up being two more offers, BUT the offer pages are/were MUCH more populated making it easier)? i dont think that is what they mean by account transferability?

anywho, this recent change in tc and offer numbers before the glitch (a few days) personally makes me think they are just doing some changes around the house. but thats just me )

ILoveToys

07-12-2008 19:13:30

They've been changing their sites from Page 1 to Page 4 to the Gold, Silver, and Platinum Pages. It's probably a result of the change and people being on the old having glitches in their status...I'm sure it's nothing to lose sleep over.

people sure do freak out quickly before knowing anything.

my observations, i havent talked to customer service this is just my assumption. the reason for the glitch was because on my account after i logged in the page said black macbook air. i click that and then it went to the offers i have completed and it said i was still signing up for the black mac book air.

i click on the offers page and on page 1 of the offers it would say i was signing up for a sony vaio. i contacted customer support about this early last week just to make sure i was getting a black mack book air and they said they were not aware this was happening. i now login and it says black mac book air on the offers page. im guessing thats what they were fixing and the reason everyones site was screwed up.

So, I'm kind of wanting to return my macbook to Amazon for a credit. I emailed customer support and asked for an order number and they said they order in bulk so it would be hard to get it for me. I wrote back and just asked for their phone number and email that they use and haven't heard back. Anyway, just wondering if anyone who has received their gift had an amazon packing slip enclosed or if anyone's original shipping label was in tact. I pulled a taped piece of notebook paper off and revealed the UPS packing slip but they had tried to rip it off before taping that paper for it so I can't even see the tracking number or anything. All I can see is the city it was shipped to and that is Lexington KY

It's not that hard to read the last few pages of this thread. Most people do and those who do not do it are just lazy. Are you in that much of a hurry that you can't read.

You guys all know that most people didn't get credit for their offers until about last week meaning that most of the manual credit questions are going to be only a few pages back.

God forbid it takes you more than 10 seconds to find the answer.

And you dont have to read every little post, skim through looking for key words...

I posted a few threads back posted that I started my offers on Oct. 17th, completed them on Oct. 31st, and I received full credit for all 8 offers this last week (I think on Dec. 5th), sent my redemption form off, and then they emailed me this response to my request for a substitution for my gift. This company is pretty awesome

[i5e3ee19dd8]Dear Scott,

We can substitute your gift for one of equal or lesser value. Is there a specific model of a MacBook you would be interested in?

If not, we can send you a list of options to choose from.

Sincerely,

Do you mena w-9? Yes, you were supposed to send that in if the value was over $600. That is what bennyboy forgot to do and it set him back a little bit.

Dear Scott,

� 2GB Memory

� 120GB SATA hard drive1

� NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics

Product Image

� 2.4GHz

� Intel Core 2 Duo

� 2GB DDR3 Memory

� 250GB hard drive1

� NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics

Product Image

� 2.1GHz

� Intel Core 2 Duo

� 1GB DDR2 Memory

� 120GB hard drive1

� Intel GMA X3100 graphics

Ok, so I've pretty much given up on completing that 8 offer black mac site, because of the limited offers on page 4. So I'm thinking about just ditching that site and signing up for the 12 offer pink mac. While it is 12 offers, it just seems more doable.

They are not being so lenient on manual credits anymore. My mom did not get email confirmations for everything and they said she needed to have them.

Actually when they delisted some of the sites they turned into 500 gift cards for 0 offers.

edit- 8 offer $2,500 laptop.

Wouldn't that be nice though if they had one for 0 offers?[/quoteca22eb5b21]

Actually when they delisted some of the sites they turned into 500 gift cards for 0 offers.

and wow i just looked at page 4 nothing but OOD glad i got in when i did.

12 offers is actually more doable than 8 with OOD.[/quoteca22eb5b21]

Yep!!! That is exactly why I switched to the pink mac site and abandoned the black mac site.

orangejuice

13-12-2008 11:57:25

my point was if you have to wait another 75 days it will put you over the 120 day limit. there's a reason they did that. lol.

ILoveToys

they dont grant extensions anymore, verified with support, so thats out.

RolltheStampede

13-12-2008 13:37:31

the terms say you have to have your offers completed in the first 120 days. So if your offers were done on day 119 you would just be waiting for credits the next 75, you wouldnt need an extension.

orangejuice

All program participation requirements must be completed within 120 days. Your account will expire if all requirements are not completed within this timeframe.

So, does your account update at all after they receive your forms or not?

SkatingCrippled

15-12-2008 14:56:05

I'm really hoping this manual credit goes through soon. The support is making it sound like it's my only option. I mean, the offers credited after 60 days, and there's an additional 75 day wait for replacement offers. That would put me well over the 120 day mark-- and it sounds like your account expires on the 120th day.

ghounds07

15-12-2008 16:29:36

If there is an additional 75 day wait for replacement offers wouldn't they be useless since it would put you at 135 days if you did it perfectly?

I thought some people had replacements credit faster than that?

Then there was a link you click to get your redemption form and you print it out and send it in with a W-9, all of which I've done. I'm just waiting for a tracking number from Customer Support showing that it's been shipped. Probably sometime around mid-January I would assume. I wrote them after I sent everything in making sure I did everything I needed to do. Here is the last email I got from them in response

They are draging their feet with mine and I 'm afraid of getting locked out on the replacement offer crediting because of the time. (I went ahead and did a replacement to try and cover my bases that way, but am afraid it will not credit in time)

Have asked them what to do, but have just been told that they will notify me when they recieve word on crediting. They have been great with everyone else, and I've been nothing but polite. Just wondering if anyone else is stuck in this cycle of bad.

Seems like the $3,300 scooter is dead now.
It comes up a $500 Visa link.

Should I go ahead and do the pink laptop?
That'd probably be the best right now, right?
$2500 for 12?
Think I'll get an actual pink macbook?

I know this has probably been discussed before, but can I sign up for another gift from The Reward Depot even though I'm waiting on my Macbook Air? It says 1 gift per household, but does that mean 1 of each item?

Thanks for any info.

I just had 7/8 offers credit for eatandshoponus.com!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Okay so I did all my eight offers in November, right? One of the offers never sent any sort of confirmation email so I naturally call them up, they give me confirmation and everything. Less than two weeks ago I get a letter from them saying that they couldn't charge my card for some reason, so I'd have to call them up and pay via phone. Unfortunately, payments must be conducted over the site when first clicked to count for credit. Now, I did another replacement offer that failed to send me a confirmation email so I decide to do another offer just a few days ago.

Having realized this, I should have just done a replacement when the email didn't come because now I'll probably have to wait two months from a few days ago in order to get all eight of my offers completed! (

21-12-2008 21:52:39

Alright, about to start on the Vespa.
So let's see if I have it all down.

1. Do my 12 offers.
2. Wait 45 days and see which credit.
3. Once I find that out submit manual credit AND do replacement offers. (to be safe)

Does my plan sound alright?
Anything else I should watch out for?
I read this whole thread about a month ago.
Any new developments?

Also, what would you say the manual credit % is if you have a confirmation e-mail?

Zags1199

21-12-2008 22:57:52

You have to wait 75 days for offers to credit.

kwoodyk34k

21-12-2008 23:19:01

oh wow.. okay thanks for that info.

alright, i signed up.
and just to be sure. it's okay that I don't know my password right?
just keep entering my e-mail address for the offers and i'll be fine?
what does the status page show exactly during that first 75 days?

again, anyone have an estimate of the manual credit %?

thanks! can't wait til i can start waiting, lol.

"so can you confirm that if an offer doesnt credit, it is impossible to complete the site?"

As long as you have the confirmation email you received from the sponsor when signing up, there should be no reason that an offer would not credit to your account.

I did Silkies a couple of months ago for Brandarama. I recall being charged in a few days and receiving a confirmation e-mail. That was back then though.

I did a search, apparently its for an acai berry offer.

http//www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/fit-faccom-c123465.html

Also, some people got charges of much more the following week, so I'd remedy this real fast. The person above called the acai offer, i believe.

The fit-factory has a website and a specific link for unauthorized charges ..

http//fit-fac.com/billingInquiry.cfm

What offer was this? I never want any part of this; this is an institutional setup to take peoples money.

[quote114d11d1bb="amandasaurus"][quote114d11d1bb="kwoodyk34k"][quote114d11d1bb="kalinkster"]kwoody,

Did you try using 'password'? I just signed up 3 offers for iPhone using the same email I registered 2 months ago (Different offer/link) and the password (is password-all lowercase) works for me.

Make sure though when you get in using the password as pwd; change it right away.

Hope this helps!

Just keep emailing them. I emailed both addresses once a week for a bit over a month before they finally sent my password. You've gotta be kind of harassing sometimes, unfortunately.[/quote114d11d1bb]

Wow! Why did it take so long? On the first site I signed up for I got my password within 15 mins through the lost password link. Then on the second site it only took a few days after I emailed CS.

By the way, my password was my first name, last initial, all one lowercase word.

I've since changed it of course.

If you don't know your password give that a shot.

hey quick question. do the offers show pending on the acct when clicked, or it will show nothing until the 75 days after completing the offer?

orangejuice

29-12-2008 18:17:05

nothing at all shows which is pretty lame. also i dont think they take the full 75 days. probably around the 60 day mark you will start seeing credits...

Quick Question!

Is there any rule against doing multiple offers for the same company?

For example, if I do Acai Berry Select (weight loss) can I still do Bowtrol (colon cleanse) and get credit for them both even though they are from the same company with the same website layout?

The same goes for Vioderm (anti-wrinkle) and Raw Minerals (make up)

Does that hurt my chances of crediting at all or should I be fine? I couldn't find anything about it in the terms but I like to play things safe. If you know please respond ASAP.

Thanks ]

Awesome. Thanks so much. I just finished my 12 offers for the Vespa!

I've received 10 confirmation e-mails. I'm waiting on Bowtrol and Grant Every Day.

Let's see. I should probably do some extra offers just in case, shouldn't I?

Right now everything that I haven't done between this site and Brandarama is pretty expensive.

Should I wait a couple of weeks and see if better offers pop up?
I'm just worried about having an offer not credit and not being able to get manual credit for whatever reason within the remaining time frame before 120 days is up.

Personally, I would do an extra offer for each section.

I'm already confirmed on my Vespa site, but from the sound of it recently, I would rather be safe than sorry incase they get harder in manual credits, etc.

If you're on a PC hit the PrtScn (Print Screen) button then paste it into paint, or whatever program you want to, but paint is easiest to me. If you hit F11 the browser opens fully so you don't see your toolbar, in case you want to keep some things private

That's what I used when I submitted for manual credit on one of my offers that I never received a confirmation e-mail from.

Before I hit "Pay" on each offer I take a screenshot and the confirmation page afterwords I take another screenshot and they worked fine. I also gave them a screenshot of my credit card account showing the transaction that went through.

Correct. You'll get a W-4 from the company come tax time. Basically, they just report the money you earned from them to the IRS who adds that to your taxable income.

Working on the Vespa site currently...

Wanted to find out exactly which model they would send out. When I look at the Vespa site, the LX 150 is the only which reaches 59MPH Highway stated on the offers front page, as the LX 50 only reaches 39MPH.......

BUT! At the $3300 value, that would only cover the LX50 ringing in at $3299.... Right?

dmorris68

05-01-2009 10:53:04

You're going to be taxed the same whether you get a gift card for $X or an actual Vespa for the same $X. In fact if there was any difference, you're probably better off from a tax situation getting the Vespa, since you could conceivably claim a lower fair market value than what they 1099 you for, provided you document the lower value at the time you receive the gift. That's always tricky though, as they don't make it obvious or simple to claim the lower amount when you file. But if you use an accountant or tax prep service, it's their headache.

But regardless, if you get a gift card or check for $3000, you will most definitely be taxed on $3000.

But as mentioned above, the standard disclaimers apply don't get your tax advice from here. NOBODY here can tell you with any degree of certainty what your personal tax liability will be, without being privy to all of your information and knowing all the tax rules themselves. Same as with any legal advice, always consult a professional!

Although nothing has been shipped out recently, I would like to comment on their ever so helpful customer service.

I needed to change my address again cause I am not back at school. I changed it to my home address because I thought they would send it out while I was at home for Christmas break.

I emailed them on Friday asking if they could AGAIN change my address and they responded today saying that they would change the address for me and typed the new address just for confirmation! They then stated that they would email me once the gift is shipped out.

These guys are great! I hope they are around for quite some time. Hopefully we do see things shipped out soon.

I've been signing in through the $500 Visa link this whole time to get to my Vespa gift. I just wanted to make sure the 8 offers for page 3 for the Vespa were never OOD or super hard to do. This is correct right?

For example..
Easy Grant Source, NiteTrim, Ivory White, Boca Java, Pimsleur, Raw Minerals, FreeCreditReport.com, Acai Berry Select, GoFreeCredit, Gamefly, Vioderm.

These all look about right for a page 3 for the Vespa, correct? (I know they're not all still there)

I just got a funny feeling because it was so easy compared to other ones of lesser value with OODs on the last page. Also because sometimes it would say I was completing offers for a $500 Visa until I cleared my cookies. I'm just hoping somehow I wasn't completing offers for a $500 visa, lol.

Thanks in advance.

If you have specific account questions, I feel like it is okay to do so. That is what the email support is there for.

They have had my forms since november 26th and they originally told me my gift would ship in one to three weeks, but ever since they changed the crediting time they are making us wait the whole six to eight weeks. My seventh week started today so it shouldn't be too much longer until i find out

OMG! Don't know how the heck I missed out on these sites but all I know now is all their sites have atleast 1 OOD to be done; 8 offer sites with two page 4 offers have 4 OOD's. 12 offer sites have eight platinum/page 3 offers with 7 cheapos and the rest OOD's. If one of them doesn't credit, I'm fliked.

Darn my luck! Anyone got a better idea? Need a LCD tv <$300.

Actually, last I looked at the ToS, it was that your account expired after 2 years of zero offer completions, and all offers must be completed within the first 120 days. So that basically gives you time for one round of replacements and 1.5 years to sort out manual credits.

That assumes they will grant extensions for individual sites from here going forward. The way I read it is that they close your account across their entire network if you don't complete an offer in a 2 year span, but for an individual site they strictly adhere to the 120 day requirement. That is, all offers must be completed and credited and your forms must be in within 120 days, PERIOD. Granted I haven't received a response yet to my query regarding crediting since the terms have changed (and I am going to request that they extend my account 30 days to make up for the changing of the terms since I completed my offers), but I don't see why they would make any allowances at this point. I'm hoping they can be reasonable, but now that I've made them their money I'm not going to hold my breath.

The fact that they "respond to e-mails" is not enough to give me and probably others a warm and fuzzy. Their policies become increasingly hostile towards their user base with each passing month. And the content of said e-mails hasn't exactly been confidence inspiring for all of us, especially when they say it doesn't matter what their terms were when you signed up, you are going to be bound to whatever they've changed their terms to this month. I appreciate optimism but until I see evidence that TRD still has some integrity left, I am going to believe that yours is bordering on naivety. Actions will speak much louder than words in their defense.

tylerc

17-01-2009 06:36:39

You don't think i-Deal has made it more hostile for users? They banned conga lines, set a $1000 limit per DBA every 6 months, and their CS is hit or miss at best. However, they STILL ship out gifts. Just wait a little while longer and see how everything goes. You can call me naive all you want, but I've done enough sites and have been doing this for long enough to give some sites the benefit of the doubt.

ILoveToys

17-01-2009 06:38:34

Guys it appears for whatever reason, believe it or not, that they receive credit confirmations about once every 60 days. Well, my guess is that if you complete offers somewhere in the middle of that time (let's say at day 30) you might not be in day 60's credit, but you'll have to wait until day 120 (or 90 days since you signed up).

My guess is they're not really changing anything, but adjusting their terms to get some relief from the pointless emails asking about credit. They have a system they are working within. My impression is that they only receive credit confirmations in large batches on a 60 day schedule. It's probably not their fault, but whoever they are getting their offers from.

You all really need to relax, because bitching about it on a forum is going to do you no good. Please continue to post info that is meaningful to everyone (the purpose of a forum like this), but if all you want to do is complain about a change in terms then find another place and quit bumping this thread for no reason.

[quotedf0ea08a5a="theysayjump"][quotedf0ea08a5a="sexualintellectual"][quotedf0ea08a5a="ILoveToys"]Guys it appears for whatever reason, believe it or not, that they receive credit confirmations about once every 60 days. Well, my guess is that if you complete offers somewhere in the middle of that time (let's say at day 30) you might not be in day 60's credit, but you'll have to wait until day 120 (or 90 days since you signed up).

My guess is they're not really changing anything, but adjusting their terms to get some relief from the pointless emails asking about credit. They have a system they are working within. My impression is that they only receive credit confirmations in large batches on a 60 day schedule. It's probably not their fault, but whoever they are getting their offers from.

You all really need to relax, because bitching about it on a forum is going to do you no good. [bdf0ea08a5a]Please continue to post info that is meaningful to everyone[/bdf0ea08a5a] (the purpose of a forum like this), but if all you want to do is complain about a change in terms then find another place and quit bumping this thread for no reason.[/quotedf0ea08a5a]

What is this based on? Unless any of this information came straight from the horse's mouth it's pure speculation and has no meaningful use in this thread. If we're going to deal strictly in utility, let's stick to the facts. If they have explicitly stated any of this, give us a source.[/quotedf0ea08a5a]

So someone (ILoveToys) giving a sensible and well thought out theory as to the staggered crediting has no meaningful place in this thread because it's just his guess, but yet these speculative posts do have a meaningful place in this thread?[/quotedf0ea08a5a]

The timeline was such that ILoveToys stated that this thread should be used for meaningful information only after the posts that you quoted, and in the same breath as his theory. My response was a way of saying that I will respect his wishes if he will abide by them in turn. I can deduce many negative theories from their recent actions, but I'll agree that it is counter productive at this point to share them with this audience. If there is indeed malfeasance on their part it will be revealed in due time. Likewise, I would hope that those still in this company's corner would refrain from defending them with their theories until we have solid facts. If (when?) they step up in this period of uncertainty I will be the first in line to eat crow. And when I say step up, I mean acknowledge that their terms changed like bait-n-switch and make simple allowances for the users who become victims of it. Or alternatively, if in fact they can't ensure credit reporting within the 120 day time limit, extend said limit to say 180 days. Simple solutions would make many grievances disappear.

anybody know how replacement offers work? 7 out of 8 credited for me and they said there was no record of my 8th offer even though i had email confirmation. i did another offer already hoping it will credit soon. will this offer be under the 105 day rule?

RolltheStampede

yup 105 bud. i did a replacement before all the 75 day stuff but my manual eventually showed up. so i never could tell if the replacement credited or not

At this point I just told them to send me whatever they want to send me, which would be the $1400 macbook. they said they have 1 left. whatever...its still 1400 bucks i didnt do shit for. I just figured out i owe $11,000 in tax this year which is awesome too

RolltheStampede

11000 in taxes GOODNESS. What is the penalty on that anyway.

Hey everyone, check out this email I got from the Reward Depot today
[ic59e00032f]Dear Scott,

We had previously discussed substitution options for the Sony Vaio TZ laptop. You had expressed you would prefer a MacBook. We are writing to ask if it would be suitable to you for us to send you an Apple gift card in the amount of $1900. You can then go in and select the MacBook of your choice.

Please let us know

You might be better off buying a macbook pro and selling it.

orangejuice

19-01-2009 17:32:44

i thought of that too, but apparently those are only going for $1800 on ebay. isnt there a trick to use to get cash out of the card at an apple store? like by paying for $2200 worth of stuff with the apple card then $300 in debit card or cash, and then they give you a check back?

Eeyore

19-01-2009 18:25:26

If it's the $2500 card you could get the high-end Air. Those retail for $2499 and are selling around $2300 unopened. Problem with this theory is sales tax and you don't want to be out of pocket.

The other approach is to figure out a purchase around $2300 (a Macbook Pro and an iPod, perhaps?) and then sell those as a package deal. The gift card should also cover the tax that way.

Sucks that they are forcing the Apple card on you but I suppose it's better than a kick to the head...

orangejuice

19-01-2009 18:35:47

hmm, i just saw one go for 1900. the MB940LLA...when did you see this?

freeipodplayer

19-01-2009 18:54:54

split the gift card into 500 dollar denominations, and sell individually. 500 should go for 475 buy it now on ebay real quick. only downside is the fees... which would amount to 30 bucks. So ... for every 500, you would lose 55 bucks. and DO NOT email the gift card # and pin.

You will get scammed like that.

Speaking of taxes, halfway through the year I decided to revise my W4 claiming no allowances and even getting them to withhold extra money every week so I'd be paying a ton in taxes as to compensate for the freebie sites I'd complete during the year. The great thing is, Brandarama hasn't shipped shit and I didn't complete nearly as many sites as I expected, so I don't have to file anything other than wages from my job. So, I'll be getting one badass refund this year 8-)

I got this response.... funny because my name isn't Charles...

[ib1387a5742]Dear Charles,

For offers completed on or after November 1, 2008 - it will take up to 105 days for those offers to credit. Unfortunately we are unable to expedite this process.

Our intention with the extended wait time is not to penalize users that have already completed offers. We are willing to offer account extensions to make up for the extended wait time, however this would only apply to users that completed all of their offers before the terms were updated with the 105 day wait time - specifically to those who completed all of their offers 75 days before their account is set to expire AND completed their offers prior to January 9, 2009.

If both of these apply to you, please let us know so that we may extend your account for an additional 30 days, to make up for the extended wait time. [/ib1387a5742]

I figured they'd be assholes about the $1200 site even though every damn offer page says "Macbook Pro" as does the account status page. Too bad there is precisely nothing anyone can do to make them honor it.

Was this another MBP site? I did one through laptopreviewpanel.com that lists the value as $2499, even on the gift status image. I was hoping for at least the mid level MBP, but more for the gift card so I could pony up the dough for an upgrade to the new 17 inch model.

Yes, most incentivized CC offers require you to be approved and make a purchase to receive/keep credit for the offer.

The reason they're considered OOD by most (unless they're in the market for a CC anyway, but then again that would make any OOD a non-OOD) is due to at least a few reasons

1. The time usually involved to get approved, receive the card, make a purchase, and THEN have the offer credit reported.

2. It CAN impact your credit score if you apply for several within a short time frame (a couple of years) and especially if you are already in debt.

3. New credit is better than NO credit, but is less favorable than old, established credit. Some people will close an old CC to get a new one, transferring the balance, but that's a big mistake from a credit scoring aspect -- your score will drop even further because of the loss of an aged account, the gain of a new one with an immediate big balance (from the transfer), plus the inquiry from the application.

4. Not everyone will be approved, which could cause some wasted time and possibly failure to complete those sites with deadlines.

5. Many don't have the discipline to use credit wisely, and if they have it in hand, will abuse it. In the worst cases, they could become the ultimate OOD.

6. The incentivized offers are seldom the ones with the best terms, as is the case with most widely marketed CC offers. The best terms & offers come from "private" invitation by credit card issuers once you've established good credit.

If you just do one or so, and needed a CC anyway, then they can be a useful offer. However I always avoid CC offers because I have more CC's than a I need already, they have better terms than most any I've seen on a freebie site, and I have no desire to add any more bulk to my wallet.

Yeah, thanks for the informative comment dmorris. I'd like to think that I'm smart when it comes to CC offers, so for me none of these were big issues. Especially with the one about crediting hopefully after 105 days it credits correctly hah. And yeah this is the 1st or 2nd I have done for freebie sites, usually I just find other CC's that pay like $250+ when you sign up for them. I'm just in college so have like 6 CC's right now but I got paid for 5 of them, totalling about $1,500.

they are giving me $1200 for the macbook pro offer that I completed. They said that is the value of the gift stated by laptopreviewpanel.com at the time that I signed up and completed the offer. Whereas in reality, the macbook pro retails for $1999.

You really expected them to send you a "$1200" Macbook Pro? Pretty naive. I've got news for you...you probably can't afford a "free" Macbook Pro either if the additional $99 plus $80 in sales tax for the Macbook is too much for you. The income taxes on the Macbook Pro would be twice that.

I did that site just to see what would happen, knowing full well they would probably back out of it and give me the $1200 instead. But at that time it was a very easy eight offers and the payout a decent $150 per offer.

there are some 12 offers for $2500 around.
However, the last page is pretty much undoable.

more specifically, you need to do 8 offers on the last page, but the last page is filled with 6 doable ones and 6 OOD's.

An OOD is an offer that requires you to spend a lot of money. A few examples are security systems, dish TV, loans, etc.

Ahh, that sucks. They might have just started doing this, I've read of a few people being granted those extension. I also read an email someone received saying that they would reinstate the account if it expired. So is that it, they aren't going to work with you? From all the reports here they seem like a legit company, but that little stunt they just pulled on you would say otherwise.

Dear Brian,

We do apologize for the inconvenience, however you were not credited for the Netflix offer because you did not complete the offer requirements. You are welcome to complete as many offers as you would like however, as stated in the program requirements as well as the terms & conditions, you do have 120 days to fulfill the program requirements or your account will expire.

Subject Re Welcome to Netflix

Dear Customer Support,

Then why did you tell me I was "welcome to complete another sponsor offer" in the email below? If my account was going to expire before the additional offer credited, you should have stated as much instead of telling me to complete another offer. I spent additional time and money to completed another offer based on your email below on 12/23/08. Due to the fact that you specifically told me I could complete another offer I don't think its fair that you aren't extending my account. If my account was going to expire before the additional offer credited, why was I told it was okay to complete another offer?

Thanks,

Dear Brian,

We are unable to extend your account. When you completed your last sponsor offer the waiting time was 75 days, so even if that had not changed, your account would have expired before the offer credited. Your registration date is 10/9/08 so the 120th day is on 2/9/08.

Dear Customer Support,

I completed an additional offer on 12/18/08 (please see below), however you have since changed your crediting time to 105 days. If I have counted the days correctly my 105 day waiting period will not be up until 4/1/09. Will I be given an extension on my account so that it will not expire before my additional offer has time to credit? When I originally signed up the waiting period was 30 days, then 45, etc. up to the current 105 days.

Thanks again,

Yes, I cancelled on day 8 of a 10 day trial, which is allowed per the Netflix website, but since I didn't "complete" the full trial I was not given credit by Reward Depot.

I was then told by Reward Depot that "I was welcome to complete another sponosor offer to fulfull the participation requirements." Now that I've done that they aren't going to extend my account long enough for my replacement offer to credit.

Did you try any movies first or did you just wait the eight days and cancel? That may be a factor.

If you did the replacement offer in December, hard to believe that the company has not received confirmation on that offer. If you have email confirmation and proof that you were charged for the offer then there is no reason for them to deny you credit for that offer.

I completed the site right around Christmas..... A little confused as to how many days I need to be waiting and looking out for offer credits?!?

Please let me know!

BTW, it was for the Vespa...

[quote2da7c1cdd5="bruman"]NetFlix only credits.. on any freebie site... if the user goes past the trial. It's been like that for years. If you cancel before the trial, TRD doesn't get paid for your lead and thus no credit either.[/quote2da7c1cdd5]
Exactly, this has always been a Netflix term as far as I can remember.

Netflix is one of the best offers out there, and they're so cheap to let it go past the trial that I don't understand why people don't just pay the first month. It's not like a lot of the more shady offers that hit you for $75-$150 worth of useless products if you go past the trial period (or even if you don't, in some cases). Netflix has a useful product, is very inexpensive, are very reputable and easy to cancel at any time. At least pay 'em for one month! I wish most offers were this easy and reliable (and useful).

I too reluctnaly did the netflix- I really didn't want to try it I tried blockbuster and the turn around time was awful. I am very surprised with netflix. We live in the middle of nowhere adn their turnaround time is great! I will be keeping netflix for a long time, plus you can watch movies online at "work"! Ok- only if it is slow and the boss is not here!

Well, I got a slightly different situation. I did half my offers 106 days ago and did the second half about a week later. I haven't gotten credit for any offers as of now and as I said, it's been 106 days. Will I be given credit when the second half of offers hits 105?

I mean I know they can do whatever they want, but it's still not fair to make the credit time 105 days and still only have 120 days to complete the site. Honestly they may have gotten in over their heads and are now trying to slow it down. Probably trying to find any reason to DQ or use the account expiration excuse.

Since I don't see a reference to when you completed the offers (or what the terms were at that point) in your original e-mail to them, I would suggest you try this

- State when you signed up, when you completed the offers and what the crediting period was at that point (I'm guessing 75 days). Do the math for them and tell them when you would have received credit within the 120 day restriction.

- State the date that your crediting time will be pushed to with the 105 day crediting period. Now show them how this is later than the 120th day.

- Ask them if there is any way to resolve the situation because you feel it would be unfair to be disqualified because the terms changed after you completed the gift's offer requirements.

That's what I did and they said I could have another 30 days when my account expires, though admittedly I have not reached the expiration deadline yet. They may have been blowing smoke up my ass, but I guess only time will tell.

Note that if you did your offers after something like January 14 then you are probably SOL. That's about when the terms changed to 105 days. As far as I can tell, even if you signed up under 75 days but completed the offers after the changeover you will probably not get an extension.

but your account isnt even expired yet or even close to being expired.
it hasn't even been 75 days and you are asking about credits.
you should still have 2 weeks once 105 rolls around.
i don't see why people are jumping to conclusions so fast.
from what im reading there is only 1 person so far that has hit 105 that needed to wait 105 days to get credits and hasn't gotten them yet.
so just wait and see how that goes before getting dis hearted.

My reasoning for sending the email was to see if I would get the same response as other people. Some have written them way before their accounts expired and they were told that they would be granted an extension. Also you have to take into account what if some of my offers don't credit and then it takes them a few weeks to approve my mcr or they don't approve it and I have to complete another offer? I need to know if I will be granted an extension to do that.

It's easy for you to say calm down when you are pretty much done with the site and they didn't change the terms on you in the middle of waiting for credits.

Yes i asked for the extension as soon as i was informed about the wait period change from 75 to 105. I told them i signed up in nov, completed my offers on 12/2. With the new terms I would technically 15 days from sign up to do my offers and i was well past that since they changed my terms in the middle of my wait. I told them that wasn't fair. They responded saying i will get an extension to allow time for credit. I also stated i have all documentation and confirmation of purchases along with bank statement.

Welcome to the club!! Same thing happened to me. You can try to do another offer but you will have to wait the 105 days before it credits. Then you have to throw yourself at the feet of customer service to try and get an extension. My account just expired on Monday as they refused to extend my account past the original 120 days.

Good luck, let us know how it turns out.

[quotebfa1b24b0e="frost0g"][quotebfa1b24b0e="bruman"]NetFlix only credits.. on any freebie site... if the user goes past the trial. It's been like that for years. If you cancel before the trial, TRD doesn't get paid for your lead and thus no credit either.[/quotebfa1b24b0e]

is this also true for gamefly does anyone know?

and how do you know WHICH offers credit, doesnt yours just have the how many out of how many needed in the status thing on therewarddepot.com site?[/quotebfa1b24b0e]

Gamefly isn't a free trial; it's a reduced bill for your first month.

Here's an idea though- Sign up for offers that you're interested in, instead of making sure that you're in the clear to cancel them right away.

Did these people sign up, but not do any offers for 2 months or something?

Eeyore

17-02-2009 16:28:11

Translating for the reading impaired

If you signed up when the crediting terms were 45-60 days, and completed all your offers in the first 30 days thinking that you'd have 30 left even if it took two months to credit, you're now screwed. Your account will expire about 10 days before the offers credit under the new 105 day terms.

This looks like it is intentional.

actually, i cancelled for many reasons, none of them including what you are talking about. my main reason was i had to put down a deposit on a house im renting next year and a reworking of my budget does not allow for a monthly spending on games, another reason is that i dont like how they are out of the games i really want frequently, its not like netflix in that they tend to send you the games from your queue out of order by what is in.

since cancelling i have ordered another product of interest.

anywho, thanks for the smart ass comment, save your breath next time. its not appreciated.

They are still extending accounts. Just got an email yesterday stating that if my account expires before I get credits, let them know and they will extend it for 30 days. I'm thinking it depends on what terms you were on when you signed up. They asked me when I completed, after I sent that email that's when they said they would extend for 30 days.

Btw, I signed up when the terms were 75 days.

1) People just got credits before 105 days, so you are wrong.

2-3) Yes it is true that accounts expire in 120 days but they stated they can extend your account, but can only do that once you are past the 120 day mark. So again, you are wrong.

4) The gift cards were not undervalued, please see the post above me. Again you are wrong.

5) This is true to my knowledge, yay you get one right!

6) Numerous people (including myself) received a bunch of credits a couple of days ago (see #1). You are wrong again.

7) Up for debate, could be around 2 months but not many people have done this lately, and we should know how long it takes once people who just got credits try and do the MCR's. I'll say that you are right on this one though...woo 2 out of 7!

People think they know everything and that we all live in a little bubble and we are the only ones that do these sites.

Maybe people don't want to tell some of you that they received things because everyone here is so damn negative and annoying.

AdrienD1892

19-02-2009 12:54:25

I don't believe everyone is being negative or annoying. For the most part people are sharing knowledge of when they're credited, who's been credited, how long it takes and when gifts have been shipped. From this knowledge you can see if a pattern is being made. If so, it makes it easier and less stressful for those who have yet to do the site, or those still waiting for above mentioned info.

Contrary to what people believe, these are not FREE. You still have to spend money and take time and be dedicated in order to get something for a much cheaper price than retail. And is it worth it? Yes, definitely. I would gladly spend $60 to get something for $2400, however, you are still spending the $60 and that's a lot of money. You could argu,e of course, that if you do not have money to spend, that you should not do the site, but sometimes things are a gamble and let's face it, people like things in shiny packaging. (Or words that jump out and scream "FREE MACBOOK")

No reason to complain about those complaining. That just adds more negativity to the already few negative comments being made. No reason to complain about people double posting. It is going to happen. People are not patient. Call it a syndrom of the electronic era where everything is available at the click of a button, but such is life.

Just let it go and ignore the negative to focus on the positive. Unless, of course, your main goal is to get everyone wriled up and cause an arguement...

If you don't mind telling, what city were they mailed from?

I'm not trying to be negative either, but according to some accounts they've started doing borderline sleazy stuff like claiming that someone did not complete the site in the required 120 days even though all offers were done in 30 when the crediting time was 45-60 days. I really hope that these scattered mailings are more than just a way to keep the heat off.

Why not do both? Submit the manual credit confirmation emails they are asking for, and ask them to re-instate your account to do some replacements. If they don't want to re-instate your account in order for you to complete more offers, they don't have to- so you're kinda at their mercy.

Yeah i understand but its their fault since they changed their terms on my halfway through it from 60 to 105 but yes they are allowed to do that so i guess its my fault but one would think they would be nice enough to allow me to do my last two credits. (

Will be doing both and seeing if they will.

Nope, but I have a way of getting cash off the cards that's legit. Open up an account at Smartypig.com and you can by electronic gift cards for an online savings account and they only charge 2.9%. You can then get the money direct deposited in a bank account.

Its basically an online savings account but they allow you to contribute to your savings account via bank account or by buying a electronic gift card. They charge you 2.9% if you use a credit card though which was only 14 dollars out of the 500. Once you redeem the electronic gift card you can stop saving and have it sent to your bank account for free. Just go to their website and it will explain a lot. They actually have a good A.P.R of 3.25%

Yeah you open up an account and and you choose something you would like to save for like a tv or something, or you could choose Saving just to save. You have to put a minimum of 25 dollars in the savings account and choose how much you are trying to save. After you do that you can buy an electronic gift card and it is sent to your email address.You can choose at any time to close the savings goal and have the money sent back to your bank account for free. I'm just leaving my money in there to gather interest.

Edge how can you do replacements now after your account has closed, if it has closed it has been after 120 days right? regardless of when the offers credit now you had to have done offers within 120days of sign up.

RolltheStampede

the extensions have been to wait for credits not to do more offers. if you were worried about offers not crediting or not being able o get manual you should have done more to begin or before 120 days were up.

why not just wait for manual

Not really, it's to their advantage if you complete some offers but not complete the site. They're completely in the T&C to not let you do more offers after the 120. Also, there's no legit reason to suspect you won't get manual credit for the offers you completed.

I didn't get a confirmation email from superfoods, but I just realized that my gmail has been putting the superfoods emails in spam and then they get deleted every 30 days...I have the email newsletters from the last 3 weeks, do ya think that will count? Otherwise I have the credit card statement and the invoice for the initial shipment, with the date, etc.

Hey Guys,

Macbook is going to be here tomorrow, did any of you want photos? I have them of the gift card, but I can't figure out how to put 'em up. Also, do any of you know if you sign up for another offer site that's affiliated with the Reward Depot if you will be disqualified from the gift because I already did an offer through another one of their sites? For instance, I want to sign up for this offer but it looks like a Reward Depot site. Thanks! http//www.elaptopsaver.com/offer?CID=2500&PID=170089&SID=44053&TID=651635000&c1=44053

Canceling offers is fine, if you are not satisfied with the product. But talking about it openly and giving advice on how and which offers to cancel is frowned upon (i.e. bannable). This is a business and for us to continue to be able to make money off of these sites, we need them to stay in business. And offer walk-throughs are no good for their business. The terms you sign-up to for both the site and the offer prohibit planned canceling, so you are breaking both terms by doing that.

105 days to credit.

120 days to expire.

Not extending accounts anymore.

Not one Vespa has been shipped out.

No one is evening getting every credit anymore.

And not to mention, 2+ months for manual credit.

1) People just got credits before 105 days, so you are wrong.

2-3) Yes it is true that accounts expire in 120 days but they stated they can extend your account, but can only do that once you are past the 120 day mark. So again, you are wrong.

4) The gift cards were not undervalued, please see the post above me. Again you are wrong.

5) This is true to my knowledge, yay you get one right!

6) Numerous people (including myself) received a bunch of credits a couple of days ago (see #1). You are wrong again.

7) Up for debate, could be around 2 months but not many people have done this lately, and we should know how long it takes once people who just got credits try and do the MCR's. I'll say that you are right on this one though...woo 2 out of 7!

Sounds like you shouldn't make assumptions anymore ([/quote1e5bdbe20f]

If you completed your offers under the previous crediting terms (45 or 60 days) and there was plenty of time under those terms for them to credit and still get your certs in before 120 days passed they've been pretty good about reactivating accounts for 30 days to allow you to complete everything.

Have the same thing on my account. IIRC it was for the Purity Mineral Makeup offer, which I completed (and there was an advertised bonus when you completed it).

Also, anyone who has received manual credits in the past, what was the minimal time it took?

This always happens with any new site.
The new network starts up and has requirements which are easy to complete. Once somebody from here tests the site and gets a gift, it is flooded with tons of users from here. At this point the company realizes the flood of new completes and starts tightening its policies to deter easy completes. As long as you don't do something stupid and the company doesn't literally go out of business or just give everybody the middle finger, you will eventually get your gift.
Look at brandarama, 1 1/2 years ago, they were a great network with relatively quick turn-around and easy requirements, now you have people (myself included) waiting for 1+ years for their gift(s), but brandarama is still shipping out gifts at the pace of a trickle. If patience is not one of your virtues, you're going to need it to be.
Maybe it is shady, but this is the way it works, and most of the time you don't get screwed even though it may seem like it.

I agree with you - but Rewards Depot seems to be making it next to impossible to complete.

If you did that then yeah, you're probably screwed. They have been extending accounts for people who completed the offers when the crediting time was 45-60 days and expired due to the 'new' 105 day crediting. But if you completed offers after the change in January they might not do it because you knew you didn't have enough time left. Tough call, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

I did all 12 offers back in November. After 105 days - 3 weren't showing up. One was in its own category at the bottom - and 1 they credited to the platinum category when I did it in the gold category. So now I was short one gold. So I redid a gold just last week - after the 105 days because I thought they would take care of the page discrepancies. Then they told me Netflix said I canceled before the 14 days was up - which is what the T&C says I have to do if I don't care for the service - but I guess even though it isn't mentioned on their site - if you want credit from Netflix - you have to become a paying member.(they don't have the greatest movie selection if you ask me) That in itself is shady of them to know that but not make us aware. They have emailed me back - but they don't seem willing to work with issues like this - I think they thrive on knowing that they will not allow any extensions - at least not long enough if you had any replacement offers needed.

Did they give you 3300 in apple cards, visa cards, or did you have a choice between the two?

They have a better selection than Blockbuster, movie gallary and Hollywood video combined. But Netflix is worth it if you're going to do TV shows on DVD. That's what I do, and It's great because I don't have to pay $5 for 4 episodes

I'm still hoping they give me an option. I want VISA's. I need the money and don't actually want a MacBook Pro anymore. I realized they're just not worth it for what I use a laptop for. My Ibook works just fine.

Yeah, they aren't shipping a scooter, but the apple cards were for the macbook sites that people have received gifts for, thus apple gift cards are a viable substitute for an apple computer.

Be patient. They haven't done wrong by anyone yet. They've actually been very polite and timely about everything. No reason to go off like a rocket if 75% of your credit's haven't gone through. Just send them your email confirmations and wait a week.

Though I do wonder, so far most people have gotten credits on the days they have been doing the mass credit. Has anyone received a non-manual credit on a day when they were not doing a mass crediting?

My credit of today doesn't count because it is manual.

I really wish I would have known about that one before doing the one for $2500. I definitely could have used it, but I don't have the $60 to spend to redo the offers and wait about 120 days. But now I'm in a bit of a pickle though I do believe I will (hopefully) get an extension on my account.

When I signed up it was 60 days for offers to credit.
I signed up on Nov 25.
I completed 5 Offers on Nov 26
1 Offer on Dec 1, 3, and 16.

The offer on Dec 16 will credit on March 29th if it goes to the 105 days. However, my 120 days expires on March 24.

I'm not counting on the money, but I could really use it. With an "Anything can happen" economy right now I definitely need to save all I can get. And if I can wait a little longer and get Visa cards then hold onto them it would at least give me a little peace of mind while slowly waiting for my job to end...

EDIT I did get an email back today stating they would extend my account. So that is good at least, yes?

RolltheStampede

11-03-2009 07:17:54

you will be fine as long as your offers were completed before 120 days they should honor your account. Crediting time is between them and the sponsers. The Vespa was also 12 offers instead of 8 and at the time you started doing offers had already been hit with OOD I do believe.

For me I think it took between a week or 2 for them to update my account that they got the cert's. They update it when you log in and it lists the gifts you've signed up for, it says "Offer Completed!".

Not long at all for processing the certs (maybe a week for me). There haven't been enough shipments to get a reliable average shipping time (but it is not the claimed 8-10 weeks).

Yea, it does take a while to get gifts. My account went "Offer Completed!" in mid-December, and I'm still waiting.... I e-mailed them 3 weeks ago and they said they couldn't get me an exact ship date, but they expected within the next 2 weeks. So hopefully it'll be soon...

Just went 8/8! Will be sending my cert/W9 off tomorrow. I'm asking for visa cards as I really don't want a mac air and have no desire to try to sell it and go through all that mess. I much rather keep the Visa's for when my contract is over and I'm jobless again. So we'll see what happens.

Over all, So far, I'm very pleased with this company. The majority of my offers have credited before the 105 days, actually all of them save 2 have credited before 105 days. Turn around for emails has been about 2 days and always very polite and informative. The fact that people have gotten their gifts, I give this company a thumbs up.

That's fine. I rather wait than have to deal with figuring out what to do with a laptop I don't need/want. I can't return it to Apple, no receipt, and selling it on Ebay would cost a lot what with the price that it is worth. So really I have no course of action that is acceptable other than waiting for the cards.

Maybe the long date from completion to deadline has something to do with how long it takes the company to send out the item? I don't know...

Yeah, I thought of that, but then I thought "well what happens if I get it and can't sell it" I mean I'm sure I'd have no problems it's just the hassle of doing so... I don't know, I have a day to think about it.

WOO 10/12 offers credited for my Vespa. However, I did like 18, lol.
I'm on Day 85 after doing nearly all the offers on the first day.
Should I go and submit manual credit now or might the rest still credit?[/quotefbc21ec7ac]

you have to wait 105 days for manual, so you just need to wait. If you write in right now, saying things didnt credit, they'll ask if it's been 105 days, and then tell you to wait....

18 offers? wow i can dig it.

I also got 10/12 offers credited - I put in for a manual credit for the two not credited and I was only at 82 days - they confirmed 1 of my credits already - about 3 days and the other they said to just wait the 105 days and get back to them if it doesn't credit. It was for netflix. I can almost see the finish line!

kwoodyk34k

22-03-2009 11:19:48

Actually 17.
But I think I might be in a pickle though.

On my other computer I have a neatly organized notepad file that had what page all the offers I did were on. Well that computer is broke now with no way to get that file out, lol.

So I had to go look at my e-mail for the confirmation e-mails.

The offers that I have done that I don't have any credit for are...

Vioderm - I know this was Platinum
Good Cook - I know this was Gold
NiteTrim
EZ Grant Source
Ivory White
Columbia House DVD
Recharge Energy

The rest I have no idea...

In a perfect world Vioderm and Good Cook credit and fulfill my current 1 platinum and 1 gold void.

But if they don't, how will I figure out what page all those offers were on when I did the site? Will they know on their end?

Have any of you done any of the offers I listed on or around December 29?

you're only at 85 days and you got credits? Can I email them and ask them if any of my credits went through? and am I aloud to get manual credit before my 105 days? I am around 60 days and I am 0 for 12.

Also, does the gift have to be received at my address of my home, or can it be delivered elsewhere?

Which doesn't make any sense to me at all. To get a VISA card you can go online and order it, which seems like it would take less time than having to order a million different types of product. But maybe for the fact that we're asking for subs we have to wait longer than the people taking the gift originally offered? Maybe?

They might tell you to wait a week or so. You shoul dbe good if you kept it. I think Netflix and BB will work teh same so as long as you go a full month of service you are good to go, I believe that's what they check before credit is given.

You're welcome. I PM'ed you the address.

When I did the manual credit for Vioderm I wasn't at 105 days, I was at 85, but all the other offers I had finished the same day as Vioderm had credited. It took a week for them to credit Vioderm, so hopefully they'll do the same for you.

They don't buy them because it's better for them the longer they have the money in their own pockets. They can earn interest off of it, etc. And there's nobody making them ship within the 6-8 weeks. Plus, it deters people like us from doing sites with slow shipping times.

If it didn't come by day 100 I really doubt it's going to be there by 105. Most offer completions are in fact reported instantly to their affiliate, it's only clever business techniques that makes us wait X amount of days.

they seem to credit offers in waves... and a couple of weeks early. Last week they gave credit for all offers completed in december, for instance.. so a few weeks shy of the 105 day wait, in general... expect to wait a good three months though.

Right. It changed to "completed" December 16th. As far as I know there are only three statuses on the site. One for pending accounts/accounts waiting for credit, one for completed accounts that are processed, and one for expired accounts that went over the time limit.

They told me to wait it out until they heard back from Blockbuster, and that I had 10 days to return the forms once credit was received. I sent over another email on Saturday to request my account to be re-opened in order to print certs. Hopefully I will hear back on Monday.

Hello all, I'm new to FiPG. I've used A4F alot and didn't realize this site was here. Lots of good information!

I did the Vespa offer and I'm in the process of getting manual credits. The question that I have is for those of you getting cashiers checks did you request them as substitutes or is that simply what they are sending. I know some have said they've requested visas or apple cards as a replacement but if they are sending out cashiers checks there would be no reason to. Thanks for your help!

30-03-2009 21:51:23

I sent in my forms, and I'm sure that they have received it thanks to delivery confirmation. Any indication how I can tell if my offer status has changed? The page right now still gives me a button for "Complete Offer!"

Zags1199

30-03-2009 22:52:12

Instead of the button, it will say "Offer Completed" in red font. It took about 1-2 weeks for me once they received my forms.

Going by what they did for several people in your position in the past, they'll reopen it once they hear back from the sponsor and grant manual credit, and then give you 30 days to get your certificate in.

Just sent an email to TRD in hopes they'll resend me a check. Not a process I want to go through AT ALL! Man this sucks.[/quote2458fa3a35]

Good luck, hopefully it works out, but they're sending certified checks = guaranteed funds = already paid for. It's not like if the check doesn't get cashed they save the money. Only chance is talking them into going to there bank and seeing if they can get a stop payment on that, and another reissued. Hope it works out, good luck.

I bet they insurred it - time to get Fed-Ex to cough up the dough. If they can prove what was in the envelope, then fed-Ex is responsible to cover the loss, and since you were expecting it and I am sure you had a ton of checks bounce and incurred bank fees- because you thought you would have funds, or couldnt pay for cc bills and got late fees they should have to cover that too. I would contact Fed-Ex. It is their business not to lose things! I had the same thing happen with UPS and when all was said and done - I got my delivery reimbursed and the cost to try to find the same item- I came out ahead about 500.00. Worth a shot and good luck!

Are you kidding, USPS is the worst shipper of all. i used to sell 300 things a month on ebay and on average they lost 5-7 packages a month. I guess if i worked there i wouldnt give a shit either though.

The government doesn't run the postal service. The postal services are independent companies apart from the government. The government has no control over the post office and the post office has no control over the government.

Except that the President of the US gets to appoint the ladies and gents who run the post office. The post office is a piece of the executive branch. They are definitely a government run operation even if the technicalities point at it being independent.

Yes. Agreed.

They all suck though.

I have everything sent to my parents house, mail, packages everything, becuase someone is ALWAYS home. My grandparents live with my parents and have careworkers so it's just easier sending stuff there where I know things will be signed for.

So what do UPS/FedEx/USPS/DHL do? They leave everything on the porch without ringing the doorbell

It may not be that easy. These are cashiers checks, meaning they are purchased with guaranteed funds. Not like a personal check where the money is in your account until it is cashed. Not all banks will let you just walk in and simply put a stop payment on them like a personal check. But, being that it is lost they should be able to. It's still not a guarantee though like you said.

kinneylamb

[quote918f1a23d9="tp24"]So you can cash a cashier check even if the name is different? Or does it have a name?[/quote918f1a23d9]

Cashier checks can be cashed at a variety of places including Walmarts, Targets, and grocery stores, so the chances of someone NOT checking an ID are pretty high.

But also, Cashier's checks CAN be voided, they're safer to send than personal checks because you have a garentee of money in the account, but also, you have insurance on it. TRD has a pay stub with the account number of that check, they can call the bank and have it voided, or funds returned if it's a fraudulant cashing.

Well I did the $500 Visa site, not a gift. I am still waiting from December.

I know someone who did the site the same time I did already got their card about a month ago. It seems like they are shipping out at the end of the month so I wouldn't be surprised if they start shipping again soon.

I can't remember if someone actually ask this question before....(sorry if I have to ask this question again)

Did anyone of you here have their account showing "offer expired" after sending the redemption form to TRD? I sent in my form last week but now I can't even check the status cuz it says "offer expired."

Have a nice weekend everyone!

My accnt. just expired after the dreaded 120 days, with only 3 offers crediting before that time...

I emailed support asking for a re-instate so that I may wait for all the sponsors to show up. They replyed in 2 days with, "On what date did you complete the remaining offers?"

I went ahead and gave them a full account of what I have done offers wise, and the dates for each.

Btw, about the teavalize with some people..... I think they are a pretty damn shady company myself, as I signed up for the dang trial and they claimed to have shipped it..... Never got ANYTHING from them until a month after signing up. And then, they charged me like 2 weeks into the thing ($90), and claimed that I had no other option.... I said screw em at that point...

Hopefully it credits for all of us!

Nope. I did the simple 500 visa site. All my credits were approved around December 12th and I sent the forms immediately.

They keep telling me that they are behind on shipping. The only thing that make NO SENSE is why they would send out huge checks for the Vespa site for people that were confirmed the same time as I was. I would have thought they would have sent the smaller gifts out first.

Oh well. Don't mind waiting as long as I get the gift.

if youve been following the site, theyre reponse times and overall account process were pretty fast but have gotten longer and longer, until what it is now, due to the popularity of the sites.

kind of lame that their own slowness to catch up to everyone's accounts is the reason you ran out of time. but at least they offered you guys something, and at least they continue to fulfill gifts and run the sites properly. thats good.

kinneylamb

eh i think its too straightforward thinking. about saving money. theyre not deliberately denying MCRs and then offering less. they have fallen behind with updating accounts, and saying listen, its the end of your time limit and you have 11/12 so we'd like to offer.. out of being nice. they could simply say, you did not meet the requirements, and let you go with nothing. that would be saving money.

I have not been able to independently confirm it yet but another site has a blurb about them no longer accepting manual credit requests on their new(er) sites. This is probably an outgrowth of that.

I saw someone didn't get Netflix to give manual credit so they get lesser payout now? Since when is Netflix not one of the easiest to get manual credit for (assuming you don't get it in the first place). Super legit company there. They are trying to save money. Period. There's a reason they say that accepting the money means that the matter is closed and resolved. They are trying to pay less and cut their legal liability. If they decided to deny your credit and not pay you, you could likely hold them liable for the total value of the promised gift.

kinneylamb

29-05-2009 22:48:00

nah theyre just doing away with MCRs b/c its taking too long and slowing up fulflilment of everyones accounts

dudes theyre not saving money at all. if netflix did not report your signup, they dont get paid from netflix. so instead of saying screw off with 11 offers and no gift, theyre saying they'll pay you a lot of money just not the full amount for the full gift. jeez. theres no legal liability. they're not obligated to do any of this.

Acquisis is a large company. They have weight with advertisers. If you sign up for Netflix can get the credit. Now they are just getting the credit and paying you less. Manual credit doesn't take as long as they say it does, especially for a company that large. The delays are on their end.

they have a lot of sites but their staff cannot fulfill and process everyones accounts in a timely manner. since last july/august since i've been following them, their customer service has gotten slower and slower, and the 30 days eventually became 120 to follow that. i think they are axing MCRs because its not worth it, and no, not every advertiser will get back to them. a lot of their offers and companies are the same as brandarama and yfd/netblue and those MCRs were hit or miss. netflix is good at MCRs, yea i know that, but they have decided to axe them all together. and finally i have to end it on, they are not saving money read above. lol

They are delaying for two reasons

It only takes one person to fulfill all of those manual requests. They collect them, send them off in a batch, get the credit.

We realize that you have completed several other offers towards the Pink MacBook Air, so at this time we would like to offer you a gift of lesser value. The Reward Depot would like to offer you $1500 in lieu of the Pink MacBook Air and consider this matter closed.

I'm happy to get something finally, but I definitely think this is happening to everyone all at once for a reason. Maybe they realize if they take too long to ship out everyone's gifts (worth $2-3k each), eventually they'll be in an ARG situation and never be able to catch up! Also, even if some of their practices (changing prize terms after you have completed the offers and taking forever with crediting even if you have boatloads of documentation) aren't exactly illegal, they are still shady and I'm sure they don't want to have a bunch of angry folks harassing them and calling them scammers all over the place. So I don't think this settlement is just some altruistic act because they are such nice people.

theres nothing shady about them. they shipped a check to the wrong person once. but as far as their speed, they used to be quick, and as the sites got popular, they increased the time limit and their offer crediting followed, and their gift shipping followed. its all consistent. this is one company that should use ARG's excuse of being overwhelmed by high demand.

No. No company should be able to use the excuse of being overwhelmed by high demand, and I don't see why people can accept that response. If you are a business you should have rules/systems in place to deal with an increase in demand. It's not like you walk into Target and they have a huge line of customers with only 1 cash register saying "wow we had no idea we'd have so many customers today!".

a lot of these companies have a small amt of people working for them. brandarama is an exception but it does not help them fulfill gifts at all. even target, if the same store sales are down, the store is given less work hours, and parttime employees hours are cut. so while its inexcusable, thats the stupid reality of one cashier with a long line.

True, they may have a small amount of people working for them, but then why do they not hire more people? These are million dollar companies we are talking about, or at least that is the amount that they owe to people. It just doesn't seem logical that they couldn't hire a few temp employees to deal with an influx of customers if need be. As for the Target analogy, you are correct in what you said, however what TRD is doing is like Target having 1 cashier for the past 4 months, wouldn't they learn?

[quote654f2461c2="Sstaceyrae21"]Edgespeeder - I think you only get the lesser offer if you did not complete the site. Were you able to get credit for your manual request? I hope they pay out those that have everything completed before they pay the settlement people! But at this point I hope they pay at all, I had a lot of confidence in this company until Hansel didn't get his check, after they screwed up! We can only keep our fingers crossed![/quote654f2461c2]

Yeah I had submitted about 4 manual credits since I had done 3 extra and none credited so i begged them to see how they could help me and weeks later they sent me that email.

Please also make sure to send them a W-9 Forum, they emailed me back today requesting one as well so I had to mail a second letter tomorrow with it

ok i lied, i finally got to log in to the site, and it gives me the option to complete more offers. They have credited my Ivory white, but not my vioderm. i already have en email saying that they credited my vioderm to my account but it is not showing. I'm not surprised to say the lest. This should not be a problem since i have the email from them, I will see how it goes next week.

Yeah mistakes do happen. But as of late, they have been denting people thier last credit and offering them alternative gifts. Now i understand people are grateful for this, but per the terms of agreement we have all been screwed. we should have had the opportunity to do more offers, but they deliberately changed the terms of agreement and forced us into a situation where we could no do any more offers. so at this moment i feel they are being a little shady.

They could not offer manuals like iDeal. Or they could say no dice and say you don't get anything. Do people always have to find something to complain about? Either way, you probably did ~10 offers for ~$1500 I'm guessing? Find me a site that will pay that good.

the amexs dont have anything them. you just have to write your nam eon the card.

my card was ready to go on day one.

if you are waiting on a vespa i think you get a check, everyone else gets a amex i believe.

Zaggs i thought the same about the 12 months but the lady i talk to when i hit the number about a lost card said she could do it it would just take 3 weeks

Maybe they only have one customer service or employee to handle the redemption. RD is copying brandarama now also. I know 3 people in my area that will not get their prize. They said they did not completed one of their sponsor offers through their website.

Does anyone knew what site they can file a complaint for not getting paid by RD? I know their office is in Illinois.

So FedEx is being TERRIBLE as always.

I'm on vacation until August (and RewardDepot KNOWS this. I've told them MONTHS in advance about this and asked for a possible reroute). The only person at home who can get my package is always working and is never home until after 6-7pm.

FedEx has tried twice to deliver the package. Once at 3PM yesterday and once at 11AM today.

On today's attempt, the recording on tracking info states that they got the "incorrect street address - wrong number"

Then an hour later, they post "Refused by recipient - Order canceled"

What the hell? Communications to both FedEx and RewardDepot have been greatly unhelpful. I don't want this thing shipped back to RewardDepot because they've been getting REALLY unresponsive whenever it comes to emails regarding anything but general questions and I'll probably never see the $2500 ever again if it does.

edgespeeder04

02-07-2009 19:30:48

Fedex is the same way by me.....call up corporate and they'll have a field day....the following day they had the package to me an approved time. Nothing like having the delivery tracking claim you refused a package. (just laziness on their part so they don't have to make any more attempts)

and the same thing happened with UPS when I ordered Parts for my Mustang --- I think my UPS guy still hates me but hey he learnt his lesson. He claimed he rang my bell and I refused the package....but actually he pulled up to my front door and made that false claim and left....UPS loved it....they made him come back after hours and deliver it.

Anyways, back on track....so I guess people are getting paid from this company finally?

It's been over a month since then and I have just emailed them and no response. Should I be worried? What is the turn around time after your account has expired.

They did not offer them a lesser value of gift now. As in they did not offer anything. Instead they offer them to sign up for their other website which is ridiculous.

Um, I spent $50 less than one year ago on offers that got me $2,500 over time. That's an investment right there. I AM spending it. I normally don't spend like this, so it's called splurging on something you genuinely want.

I'd rather spend $1,600 on an exceptional laptop that will last me more than four years than $400 on one with subpar specifications that'll bring me nothing but misery and annoyance in the coming years.

[quoted8243ce728="wiebelhaus03"]still find macs incredibly overpriced......make your own (with mac os) for 1/3 the cost if you feel macs are that superior[/quoted8243ce728]

Yes, because I can make my own laptops with the same specs in a one-inch thick aluminum body enclosure. I went to Dell.com and found that the closest I can get to the same specs on a Dell is ~$1529 for less energy efficient RAM, a battery that lasts less and has lesser charge cycles plus bulges out the unit AND is twice as thick. That's a difference of just $50 for a much more superior laptop that will last longer and looks sleeker. Don't start this Mac vs. PC argument.

You can stick to your $400 "custom PCs" that lack the aesthetics of a Macintosh as well as come with an operating system still built on DLLs and registries and keep touting them if they make you feel superior. It's your choice to make. I'd prefer it if you kept your opinions to yourself.

I assume you mean they don't run in OS X, which doesn't mean they don't run on Macs anymore. That said, I am booting into XP less and less these days; the OS X software library is steadily expanding and I find myself playing fewer computer games. But there are still a significant number of specialty programs for Windows that don't have adequate OS X counterparts... yet. I can honestly say I won't shed a tear the day I remove Windows from my computer because I no longer need it.

I just hit 4 months since confirmed to ship and I've yet to see anything.

As for Mac vs PC, they both have good and bad things about them. Mac's are way over priced for what they are, I totally agree, but on the upside you are less likely to have issues with the OS crashing. I have both a mac and a PC and I like them both equally.

I also agree that when I do video editing it is definitely NOT on a laptop. My laptop is mostly for internet and email, nothing else. My desktop is for programming, video editing and photoshop. lishrugli

I'm not sure if my BBB complaint was the reason I am shipped, but I don't think it hurt.

EDIT will be getting $2500 in gift cards

Hm.. Maybe I should submit a BBB report. I signed up on 11-25 and got full credit 3-15

I'll wait til the middle of august but MAN I could REALLY REALLY use the money. It wasn't intentionally done as a way to get $2500 to pay bills, but being laid off since the beginning of May I now actually need it.

I sent them an email and they basically said "we're shipping but can't give you a timeline"

I don't want to be bitchy or anything but like I said, when I started it was extra cash to be used for fun, now it's money I desperately need to survive and keep my apartment.

[quote22eaae4e88="AdrienD1892"]I read back a few pages but I don't see anyone mentioning a timeline. Can someone tell me the difference between when they signed up and when they got their check/gift?

I just hit 4 months since confirmed to ship and I've yet to see anything.

As for Mac vs PC, they both have good and bad things about them. Mac's are way over priced for what they are, I totally agree, but on the upside you are less likely to have issues with the OS crashing. I have both a mac and a PC and I like them both equally.

I also agree that when I do video editing it is definitely NOT on a laptop. My laptop is mostly for internet and email, nothing else. My desktop is for programming, video editing and photoshop. lishrugli[/quote22eaae4e88]

Also, regarding "Macs are overpriced" Apple isn't in the market to make cheap pieces of junk. How much overpriced would you say the low-end MacBook Pro (13-inch, $1199/$1099) is?

The lowest-end Dell XPS system with "similar" specs is $894. That's with a plethora of lesser specs in a plastic shell, bundled with a more hair-pulling user experience. Do you think it's a "bargain" to pay $200 less for something that will bring you more frustration in the long run?

Apple components and PC components are the same, especially now that Intel makes apple processors. But the components inside the mac come from the same places pc companies get theirs. They're not built any better and Apple desktops, like the IMac, are plastic. My Ibook which is about 4 or 5 years old and does me just find for the little I do on it (as I said I use my desktop (which is a PC) for high end editing) is also plastic.

Mac needs to be competative, because people will see a $600 Dell and a $1300 mac and go for the PC based on the fact it's less expensive.

I'm not a Mac or a PC person. I see good and bad in both of them. I just think the argument of Macs being soooo much better becuase of internal components is rather amusing... becuase they're not.

I don't think the argument is about the internal components. Yes, when comparing apples to apples (no pun intended) for the internals a Mac laptop is more expensive than your typical PC. As of the latest hardware revision, what you get in addition is a very high quality build compared to most PC laptops on the market, especially those in the "budget" range. I'm talking about the aluminum shell, backlit keyboard, wide color gamut display, long battery life, less than an inch thick profile, mag-safe power adapter, etc. Add in the arguably less-expensive-but-better-user-experience from a software standpoint and it's not a bad deal for what you get in my opinion.

As for needing to lower prices, Apple owned a whopping 91% of the premium ($1000+) market in June. Even in this abysmal economy, Apple posted their best June quarter EVER for computer sales. So I can't say I agree with your statement about Apple needing to "be competitive." It seems they own the market segment they sit in right now.

Finally, the current iMac is aluminum and glass on the front with high-quality black plastic on the back, not just plastic as you say. The Mac Pro case is all metal (you might recognize it as the "cheese grater" case). If you have a nit to pick, make sure the nit still exists.

You need to talk to the Rewards Depot not the individual companies you do your trials through. If you have your confirmation emails, email the Reward's Depot for Manual credit... but if you've been waiting since November hasn't your account expired by now?

Well my theory is that in my sitiuation I did an extra offer on pages 1 & 2 along with the offers that were required. So technically I did 14 offers instead of 12. All my credits but one from the last page went through. So maybe they didn't want to totally screw me because in a sense I gave them extra money? Who knows, I'm just saying this about me. I don't know why they decided to offer the lesser gifts to the others.

I've been waiting on manual credit for 2 offers for months now. My account is still active but it shows "Offer Expired" when I login. I have sent emails and bank statements showing my participation in both offers but they have yet to update my account. My next step will be to file a complaint with the BBB in the next few weeks if things haven't changed. They keep responding to most of my emails but it's always that they are still waiting to hear back regarding my participation.

Any suggestions?

this site is so slow, and they tell you at the last minute that your last 1 offer did not get credited. they cant not give you the gift after that. they should allow an extension, to complete another offer, or they should continue offering you a settlement of a lesser value gift. they put you in a position where you cant do anything to save your account, and for all you know, it could be on purpose.

as a LAST resort i would def file BBB and AG complaints detailing the situation, and kindly let them know you are rightfully doing so.

Got my fedex shipment today, turns out it was $2500 in amex cards )

EDIT I have received a couple pm's asking about what I said in the BBB complaint. Please find them pasted below.

~~~~ENTRY ONE~~~~
11/12/08 - Signed up to yourlaptopsavings.com to receive a black macbook air ($2500 value) after the completion of 8 sponsor offers.
11/15/08 - Completed all 8 Sponsor Offers.
02/23/09 - Credit received for all 8 Sponsor Offers.
02/24/09 - Mailed the necessary paperwork (W-9 and redemption form) to The Reward Depot.
03/09/09 - Account status marked as "Offer Completed!". This means that all my requirements are completed and approved as such by The Reward Depot.

Once my account status was marked "Offer Completed!" I should have received the black macbook air (or $2500 substitution) no later than 05/04/09 (the expected wait time is supposedly 6-8 weeks).

05/04/09 - I sent this email

TheRewardDepot,

I am writing to inform you that I will be filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau if I have not received the reward by 6/30/09. If the extended waiting time is due to circumstances outside of your control, which I am currently unaware of, please let me know as I would be much more understanding and patient. But as things appear to me now I feel like I am getting the run-around. My status was changed to "Offer Completed!" on 3/9/09, and according to the expected waiting time of 6-8 weeks I should have received the reward no later than 5/4/09. It is not my intention to be unnecessarily antagonistic, but I feel that a more detailed explanation is due to me if I am expected to patiently wait past the expected shipping deadline.

I do not accept this response because it is too generalized and unclear concerning a specific timeline. My complaint is that I completed the requirements, but I have not received anything. It is well past the expected 6-8 week wait (8 weeks was reached on 05/04/09). For The Reward Depot to not issue a specific and accurate timeline for when I can expect to receive payment (which is more than 2 months late) is unprofessional. I will be satisfied when (1) I am issued a timeline for when to expect payment, and (2) the deadline(s) laid forth in the timeline are followed.

See, I love reading comments like this! So when a company is in clear violation of their terms and we call them out on it, its complaining now, LOL? As i said before one mistake from us and our gift is null. If we don't take initiative for our gifts then you will be strung along as you are now. So please, sit back relax and let everyone else get their gift before you.

li1 - Not the exterior. Every single Macintosh save the white Macbook is made of aluminum, not plastic. They're manufactured differently than the other computers you're referencing. They [b9f2495b58d]are[/b9f2495b58d] built better. There's extreme care put into the construction of a unibody MacBook Pro. It's why there are tiny things that just go well together, such as the side battery light indicator and the minimalist design of the entire unit. You're telling me a unibody MacBook Pro's glass trackpad with up to four-finger gestures is the same as a Toshiba's?

li2 - Actually, the current version of the iMac is made from aluminum and glass and has been for over one year now. The same goes for the Mac Mini and Mac Pro, Apple's other two desktop offerings.

li3 - It depends on who's doing the buying. There are a number of reasons as to why somebody would pick one over the other. You can't just name "price" as a factor especially less than two weeks after Apple announced that its third-quarter earnings results were the best non-Holiday earnings it's ever reported. Surely there must be a reason all these people are choosing Apple products over their cheaper counterparts. Link here http//www.apple.com/pr/library/2009/07/21results.html

I surely hope you're doing your film editing on either Avid or Premiere.

12/15/08 - Manual credit received for my final offer
12/16/08 - Mailed the paperwork (W-9 and redemption form)
01/06/09 - Account status marked as "Offer Completed!"
07/24/09 - Received a gift shipment email
07/30/09 - Fedex delivered $2500 in amex cards

Anyway it took a while, but I did get my gift without going through the BBB or anything. All I did was email them once a month after it had been about 3 months and check on my status. They just kept telling me that they were experiencing delays.

If anyone has any other questions, I'll definitely try and answer them.

Apple does do well, a lot of it is because its superior marketing, which helped them become the "cool" brand. I invest in apple simply because of this fact and its been working out quite well haha

[quotef6d08a56e3="unknown uchiha"] You can't just name "price" as a factor

I surely hope you're doing your film editing on either Avid or Premiere.[/quotef6d08a56e3]

I use Premiere, but regardless of what I use I don't really think that has baring on a conversation between PC's and Mac's. I've used Final Cut also, I personally just like Premiere better.

Also, for me, price is the the factor. For a lot of people it is. People would rather spend $1500 for a computer that will do what they want rather than $3000 even if the $3000 computer is less likely to cause them issues. Becuase for a lot of people 1) they don't understand about computers and the differences are so minor to them they wouldn't notice anyway 2) they can't afford $3000.

I'm in the latter group. I can't afford a Mac Pro as much as I would like one. My litte 5 year old PLASTIC Ibook G4 does me just fine for what I use my laptop for which is only internet. I have a bunch of programs on it (Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Dreamweaver, Final Cut) but I don't use them. I use my PC desktop (which I got for free while working for Dell)

As I said, there's good and bad points to both of them. You can argue about it until the cows come home but in the end, it comes down to what a person can afford. And for the majority of people (who only use a computer for internet) a PC is perfectly fine. I'm sure someone will tell me I'm wrong, but really it's all opinion and personal preference.

BTW When I worked as a sales person for Dell and someone would call in saying they needed a graphic laptop for their child who was going to college for graphic design, video production or animation, the number one reason they said they weren't buying a Mac was price. So you can really argue about price not being a factor... but for most people, it is.

Also, until the Ipod came around, Microsoft owned almost half of Apple due to them not making enough money to keep them from filing chapter 11....

Thank god for the iPod, Intel transition and the iPhone. I dabble on Premiere, but I'm solely a Final Cut person right now. Anyway, let's get back on topic.

It seems like a number of shipments have been made in July, though customer support contact has been really infrequent as of late and users are reporting being "screwed".

I'd recommend filing a complaint to the BBB if anything to attempt to salvage something. I had a problem with YFDirect a few months back with them not updating me on my manual credit status for months ofn end. They replied promptly and expedited my forms where within two weeks of sending in my W-9 and notarized statement I got my $250 check on the spot. Was really helpful.

But this is primarily because of Microsoft's stupidity... they bought the shares and agreed to continue development for Macs in order to keep their asses out of court. Sure it saved Apple at the time, but let's not trick ourselves into believing that Microsoft did this out of the goodness of their corporate heart.

Back to the topic, it looks like I still have a few months before I can even hope to get my cards. I will start e-mailing at 8 weeks for updates though... getting pretty close to that now.

The Reward Depot responded to my BBB complaint today. Here is there response

On August 12, 2009, the business provided the following information
We notified the customer on 8/12/2009 that her gift will be shippe out in the next 5-7 business days. We will provide the customer with her FedEx tracking number.

First of all, my name is Nicholas. Also, my account still shows "Offer Expired" and I still don't have access to the forms to mail in.

I'm responding asking if they are talking to me since I have not received any emails from them for 2 months.

IceCold1906

13-08-2009 11:13:24

I emailed them and they responded back within a day. They said I went to fraud and got processed on the 22 of June. Which is 12 days after I mailed the my forms (2-3 days shipping). i will hit Eight weeks on the 22 of this month and will be shooting them a nice email if I haven't received a tracking number.

nbleifeste

13-08-2009 12:08:05

I got an email response back today from Support.

They mentioned that the Vespa's are out of stock right now, and they asked if gift cards would be fine for the form of gift.

They will probably send you amex (2nd only to cash/check imo). That's what they sent me for the $2500 laptop offer, and I thought I was getting mac giftcards until I opened the package.

Just got a tracking number for my $2,500 AMEX GC's. I did go through the BBB, which is the only way to get your money on time. My forms were received by them in mid-March, so it's been like 23 weeks or so?

Good luck to everyone else, this company is ran by Jeff Powers, Brad's bro.

ghounds -- I was under the impression that going to the BBB would get you nowhere..i am surprised you took that approach. did it really help? In '08 when i did this site it took them 18 months to send me the money. are you saying you got it in 4 months after complaining?

ghounds07

29-08-2009 15:18:12

Correct (actually more than 5 months since I was confirmed). If you do not want to deal with this company's bs go through the BBB. All I did was state the time my forms were sent in, and how they were very far past the given shipping times without a definite shipping date. My tracking number says that I will get the $2,500 on September 1st.

Either way you still have a chance of getting nothing. Right now it seems like your odds of getting paid are better if you file a complaint. I haven't been waiting nearly as long as some people, but I filed anyway. They said allow 6-8 weeks (in fact they still say 6-8 weeks on their websites), and I have allowed for that and a little more. If there is a legitimate delay they should at least be able to quantify it. It's not as though there has been a 30+ week worldwide shortage of Apple or American Express gift cards. If the issue is with their income (is there any question?), we all know how that story ends. I'd rather push to get my money while the getting is still good. If I don't get paid... well, I've already been down that road once. I think I'll survive.

Anyone with half a brain knows that these are possibilities. Neither justifies the current situation. If they want to build interest for a year that's fine, so long as they advertise when you sign up that you can expect shipment a year from when you complete your offers. They had no problem changing terms for crediting, why not just be honest about shipping times?

If they don't have enough cash then we're just waiting for the latest DIY Titanic to sink. With a business model that was offering $2500 for 8 offers and $3300 for 12 offers, I'm thinking this is more likely. I'm just trying to get to the life raft before it's gone.

I agree that a year is a bit of a stretch. Additionally (and especially with interest rates currently being in the tank compared to a few years ago) even if they DID keep the money for a year their return would not be nearly enough to cover the difference between what they owe and what they are probably making.

But back to the point... it all depends on what the company in question is trying to accomplish. If I recall correctly YFD says (or used to say) that they would ship within 180 days of confirmation. This is a long haul plan.

Consider where we are in the internet age and how a good number of us stumbled across FiPG. You can't take a step on the net without tripping over a scam, so you do a Google search to find out if a company is legit. You find a result with a message board talking about the company in question and learn either one of two things the general level of trust in the company or that there's not enough information to make a decision. The latter involves a guinea pig or two trying the site and reporting back on their results. If everything goes well, the floodgates open.

With YFDirect, the time you wait before the consensus is formed is longer, but at least you know what you're getting into from the start. With TRD, they start out pretty reliable but gradually slow down until they come to a jarring stop. So how does one company seem to make it work and the others (e.g. ARG, TRD) can't handle the influx? I'm sure the failing companies want the answer too. My guess is that you're right, fewer people sign up when the wait is longer, but when the deal is insanely good you're still going to get some bites. You build a solid reputation based on those few customers and then you can alter the requirements to meet a curve of profitability while still shipping slowly. No more 4 offers for $1000, but at least future sign-ups can feel comfortable knowing they are going to get something.

The point is this whether the wait time is listed as two months or ten months, if the offer is sweet enough people with any sense at all do some homework first. Now what are people going to find when they look up TRD? That it takes six months just for your offers to credit? That not only are they unable to ship within an 8-week window, but that they can't even offer a shipping estimate at 30 weeks? I don't think that bodes well for getting suckers to fill the coffers for us. There are a lot of stupid people in the world, but advances in internet search have made it much harder to take advantage of the horde.

First, about 5 months ago I asked if I could change my email address to a new account because I moved to Hawaii. They responded to the new address which confirmed the change.
So, a couple of weeks ago they reinstated my account, after I filed a BBB complaint, so I could complete 2 more offers since 2 never went through 8 months ago. I completed the offers using the new account I've had for the last 5 months which they confirmed. Here is the response I got today

Dear Nick,

It looks like you used a different email address (nbshopping2@me.com) when
signing up for these offers. As stated in the terms & conditions, you must
use the same email address to sign up for sponsor offers as you did when you
signed up for the promotion (nbshopping2@cox.net).

Therefore, you will not receive credit for these offers.

Sincerely,

Customer Support

Certainly my experience supports that conclusion thus far, but it has only been a couple of weeks since I filed. If there is still no response after this week I'll be elevating the matter.

If your friend hasn't heard anything from the BBB then they haven't forwarded the complaint to the company yet. I found that out today.

Yeah, after two weeks of no activity, I had to e-mail the BBB just to get them to send my complaint. I think they don't check the online system often or something.

That was a shallow well. I mean their rating is already an F so they have a crap rep anyways. No motivation to settle these disputes. Unethical business, sad to say but looks like we are heading is the same direction as this ARG fiasco..

I filed my BBB complaint at the first of this month. Finally got a response from TRD

On September 14, 2009, the business provided the following information
We sincerely apologize for the delay in sending out Mr. Hoskin's gift. We expect his gift to be send out in the next 3-4 weeks. We will send him an email with tracking information when his gift ships.

I don't know whether I shoudl close this as resolved or reject that response and respond saying that this is unacceptable response. I have 10 days to respond. Thoughts?

I would keep the complaint open until your gift has been received. I closed my first complaint when they told me I could complete 2 more offers. Now, I'm on my 2nd complaint because they didn't follow thru.

Essentially the same as the other responses mentioned, with a longer wait than some. I think the earlier people maybe get paid but I don't see this working out for all of us unfortunately.

Well the rating has been an F since the first people (myself included) started filing... so that isn't necessarily damning. But the way things have been going makes it look like TRD is an ARG repeat.

Just checked the site today, and I am not "Offer Completed" in red letters...

Lets see how long it takes them to ship off my gift!

The overall processing of my forms took ~1.5 weeks, including the fraud I think. Does that seem quicker than normal??

IceCold1906

16-09-2009 16:45:51

that seems about right. A little quicker, but most average in the two week range.

I am not real sure, a long ass time. I have the info on my desktop, but I am currently in Spain until December. I am almost sure they received my paperwork Feb. 16th.

This is for the Vespa... i have no idea if it is a check or gift card. They haven't responded to my email, and the package weights like .2 lbs.... I just hope it is a check or I am going to have a fun time waiting until I get back to the states.

I kind of care... I am hoping to snag one of the unibody Rev A 17 inch MBP laptops before remaining stock dries up. The discounts are steep and the hardware is essentially the same as the most recent model... just a slower processor and smalled hdd, neither of which I really care about. It would be nice to have it now because I just started back at school part-time, but I'm certainly not going to spend money I don't have yet and it's not exactly a necessity.

In my dispute I basically said that I have no confidence in them shipping by their newly stated deadline if they couldn't meet the original 8 week deadline. A perfectly reasonable stance in my opinion, but they didn't see fit to respond. Oh well, guess I'll have to wait...

I will not divulge any more details until I can verify the info, but it will make it much easier to serve them if this proves true.

added Now I have his home phone number, and that he lives in the upstairs unit of a 2-flat he bought with his partner for $325,000 in Feb. 2000. His partner bought a 2,892 square foot single family house around the corner for $855,000 in July 13, 2007. According to the Cook County Assessor she's claiming a homeowner exemption so she must be living there...not to shabby for an ex- art teacher.

Managing Director is surely a "major player", and given his main business he is probably the money behind the company and funneled over $675K in 2007 and $1.2 million in 2008 from ValueClick to Acquisis. He's also a trustee at the Morton arboretum in the Chicago suburbs so he's also plugged into the DuPage County political machine.

Basically, all these guys play with each other, and they are out to fuck everyone.

No emails from them after I submitted my BBB rebuttal. I sent them a follow-up email 4 days ago and no reply.

At least nothing was fronted so you're only out the money used for offers.

I'm a very unique case. First attempt at shipment was April. So that should help your wait time. Good Luck!

anytime shipments are going on a year wait expect the company to go under...the only reason there is a delay is financial reasons. this recently shipment gives me hope but it will be a huge shock if my cards get sent out

[quote63efce0ee0="orangejuice"]why would they bother shipping his out if they didnt plan on sticking around?[/quote63efce0ee0]It helps when answering things like BBB complaints and state Attorney General inquiries if you can show evidence contrary to the complaint.

ARG did the same thing while trying to sell itself.

These guys are local (Chicago). It may be time to pay them a visit.

Got a response back today, with the same (We are working as fast as we can, etc...)

I have a funny feeling they will pay us out!

TRD just sent their reply after a month of waiting saying...."Again, we are experiencing huge delay yada yada will ship the gift soon etc.".

I reopen the BBB case - although it's not going to help but oh well.

Was confirmed last May so 6 months and waiting...

Have a nice day everyone!

fanofpurple

18-11-2009 13:13:37

They received my papers in May 09 - although they claim it was June 09 - so I'm ONLY at 6 months as well. They sound like they are following ARG's path!

haloplaya24

Whats strange is that they respond within about 1 day, if not within a few hours (even very late at night). Some of the responses are canned and annoying. I think that they will at least pay something, I HOPE!!!

walrus9

edgespeeder04

I wrote them once a week for a few months before they finally responded with a copy of their FAQ, which said they ship in 6-8 weeks (as usual). When I responded disdainfully regarding that little tidbit, they gave me the canned response about delays. It's Brandarama part 2.

Not yet. But they are not responding to any inquiries either. I just sent another email for snicks and grins.

Something tells me this is going to go exactly like Brandarama. People (including me) that got on this early got paid, everyone else jumped on because of the easy requirements after waiting to see they were legitimate and they couldn't afford to make the payments because so many people completed it.

I signed up for the site right before Christmas 2008 and the requirements were so abundantly easy... Soon after I returned from Christmas vacation, I attempted to sign up for some sponsors and the list had dwindled away to almost nothing and OODs.

I guess now my main curiosity lies with how many signups there were outside of the members of this forum, and the like... I know not one person that even bothers with these kinds of sites because of the seemingly illigitimacy they entail, not to mention the work and personal info that you must give out to fulfill and receive the gift, after a wait of course and never a guarantee...
