Do any sites (besides brandarama have better than 8/$500?

Just like the title says, not meaning for the topic to be one of those "where can I get this gift?" things, but I haven't been in the DIY scene in awhile and brandarama takes forever (takes 1 year now...), and it seems the best Ideal w/ no referrals is 8 offers for $500.

So are there any current sites with a ratio better than that? I dont care about the gift, just the value to offer ratio.

Thanks!

you can click links from here - there's a bnc script that obfuscates referral URLs

Thanks, I haven't done this site yet, what's the turn around for it?

Also, is Ideal still known for DQing people. I haven't done an Ideal site in literally like a year.

Don't break any rules and you won't be DQd. Turn around should be 6-8 weeks start to finish.

Oh for sure, it's just that the last time I followed Ideal was when they did the mass DQs.

Was 10 days for all sections for me when I did it a couple months back.

ghounds07

01-12-2008 09:04:40

just checked my account, started site oct 31st I believe and didn't know when to expect credit, and everything credited perfectly! I even had 9 offers credit...which I am confused about but whatever..

Does anyone have the turn around time once certificate is sent out?

ghounds07

01-12-2008 10:43:55

Well I just tried to get the claim form and it says "Due to the limited time nature of this offer your registration is now expired." So any work around for this or do I need to contact their CS? As you can see from my posts it hasn't been 60 days..

ghounds07

01-12-2008 10:57:03

"(4.) Your Redemption Certificate must be postmarked within 15 days of your final required offer being “Approved” or your account will be disqualified. "

Did I really mess this step up?

I completed all offers October 25th and just checked my status today.

tylerc

01-12-2008 11:49:41

That's your own fault for not checking your status regularly. Send in the forms and see if they process you anyway, maybe you'll get lucky.

ghounds07

01-12-2008 12:10:58

Yeah, is there any link to print out the forms? I can get the W-9 just not the actual claim form...god i feel like shit

tylerc

01-12-2008 13:26:54

Wait, is this for i-Deal or Brandarama?

You could try to manually access the redemption link.

He did his offers at the end of October.

ghounds07

01-12-2008 16:27:20

thanks for the replies everybody, CS has been contacted and is there a certain link I need to try and access the redemption link manually?

I'll search through the forums for it now but if someone could post in here that'd work too, thanks guys

ghounds07

01-12-2008 17:59:50

yeah just searched the forum and couldn't find any manual links here and dont know how to access it on the site so any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks guys

01-12-2008 19:54:34

Isn't there something like adding a /?redeem or ?/redeem to the end of the thread to get the form to pop up?

I seem to remember from a year or two ago people talking about this. Anyone else know what I'm thinking of?

tylerc

01-12-2008 20:33:29

I forget how it works exactly, ghounds could play around with it.

bruman

01-12-2008 20:42:48

http//favoritephone-carrier.com/redeem.cgi?config=2941 for favoritephone-carrier. Just add a redeem.cgi before the ?.

Oh my bad guys, I can get to that screen however when I fill out the information then it states

"Due to the limited time nature of this offer, your registration is now expired. Please see our Terms & Conditions for further information."

So maybe I am SOL?

Sucks I might be out $600...

You'll have to ask them very nicely, but don't get your hopes up.

ghounds07

Yeah my hopes have been shattered...wish the crediting cycle was 30 days, hah..

I'll let you guys know if it works out though

However that link doesn't work for me and so I emailed them back...good thing about this email was that it stated 30 days after the last offer was approved, which is hopeful.

tylerc

You'll want to get that sent in ASPAP.

Correct, but I still cannot access it (

ghounds07

15-12-2008 09:10:11

Looks like I had received an email from CS on Dec 2nd in my spam stating that I needed to fax in my W9 for manual processing so I faxed it in on saturday the 13th, so I'll let you guys know what happens..

ashilef

15-12-2008 11:01:42

Hope it works out for you!

ghounds07

17-12-2008 11:25:59

Thanks ashilef, me too D

And does anyone know if my status should somehow update on the site or how long it takes them once you send a fax?

I've been checking my email to see a confirmation that they received it but I haven't and was just wondering if I should shoot them another email asking if they have...

Thanks guys

RolltheStampede

17-12-2008 13:14:42

call them

ghounds07

17-12-2008 13:26:35

didn't know they had a phone number...anyone know what it is by chance?

Or can you just call the fax number? Never really faxed much haha

RolltheStampede

17-12-2008 15:21:27

you are talking about brandarama right, it is on the top page of your status.

my bad i see you were talking about ideal, i just glanced at the title.

ghounds07

08-01-2009 16:04:10

Anyone have the fax number for favoritephonecarrier? The email they sent me with the number was in my spam box in gmail and I didn't know it deletes automatically after 30 days...so it's gone (

So if anyone has it that'd be wonderful since I wanted to send it out right now.

Thanks guys

ghounds07

08-01-2009 16:16:41

Just to update my thread I tried logging into my account today and instead of it saying that my account was expired it stated this

[quotec3d74f5f84="FavoritePhone-Carrier"]You have been approved by the sponsor(s). Your redemption certificate was processed on Jan 14 2009 957PM. Your free gift will be mailed out within 6 to 8 weeks of the processing date. [/quotec3d74f5f84]

So it seems I will be receiving my gift! Big ups to their CS and how they helped me send in my stuff even though I might have been late.

ghounds07

11-02-2009 19:40:42

Great news everyone! Just received $600 worth of Wachovia Visa Gift Cards today via FedEx.

So happy that Ideal was able to process my account manually even though I submitted my W9 after my account was expired, A+ CS.

Also, does anyone know if you can take cash out of an ATM with these? Think I might try that tomorrow but don't know..

RolltheStampede

12-02-2009 07:27:48

not with those

ghounds07

12-02-2009 09:13:55

okay, thanks for letting me know, and yeah I remember reading on another post that you have to have a PIN number in order to get cash from the atm. Oh well, wish I could have since I just spent like $550 booking my trip to cancun for spring break...would have been nice if I could have just taken the cash out so I could pay for that.

Anyone have any ideas on the best way to get straight cash from the cards or should I just spend it on everyday items? I always want the cash right away hah..

tylerc

12-02-2009 09:37:41

I think you can request a check from Wachovia for a $15 fee.

ghounds07

12-02-2009 14:15:17

hmmm might be worth it, thanks for the suggestion tyler
