Well ya everybody thought Offergift.com was bogus, including me. It seemed too easy. Do 3 offers yourself (no need for referrals) and get an iPod mini. Well I said why not let's try it out (I thought Gratis was fake initially, but hey I got an iPod from them!). I did 3 offers (Video Professor - only cost $4.95, Stamps.com trial - free, Privacy Matters - free). And today I got a blue iPod mini. The catch/bad side is it took about freakin 4 months from the time I started doing this to getting it. Not that I really care that much because it's FREE.

Now that I have a 4GB iPod mini blue. Do you think it's worth it to try to exchange it for the 6GB iPod? wouldn't I have to pay at least $45?

Haha too bad, back in January when I started, the better mini's weren't out yet, and the 4GB cost $249. Now this iPod only costs $200 while the 6GB cost $249. Is it worth it to exchange and try to get a 6GB? and if I do, where should I go? Fry's? Apple Store?

Offergift.com -


can you refer people - like do they give you a link.

I want to sign up fr this one (since you got your ipod)

if someone has a link - then lets trade

no offergift.com is not referral based, you do it on your own.

also, another problem is you need to do all your 3 offers at ONCE when you sign up. that's why it's been so unpopular and people were skeptical. it takes a freakin long time too. (6 weeks to verify offer completed, then you print out 3 certificates of completion and mail it to them in one envelope, and then wait another 6 weeks for them to ship) but it wasn't much effort at all so i'm glad it worked for me.

so ya it's a pain in the butt but i got an iPod

So I just went for the mini, did Simply You, Privacy Matters, and Entertainment book, and now what? Do I just wait for the email from them? I'm assuming I did them all right, so it just takes a while to get credit? Anyway, just lookin for some insight from a satisfied customer.

hyperboarder cancel those trials before they start charging you (wait til near the end of the trial). for simply you and privacy matters, it was incredibly easy for me, i just emailed them and they canceled my membership . i don't know about entertainment book.

oh and i lied, i actually had to pay $6.95 in all cuz simply you and privacy matter each put $1 on your credit card.

when you log in to check your gift status, it should show the offers you did and say "pending". after 6 weeks it should say approved. you should be able to click the approved link and make a certificate for you to print to mail to the gift center. but the link for me wasn't working and i emailed the customer service (there is a form on the site) and i'm happy with their service, they usually reply the next business day. the customer service emailed me the right links to make the certificates since for some reason the ones on the site weren't working.

so after you print the 3 certificates, put them in one envelope and mail it to the place. after a week or so it should say "confirmed" on the process page. then after 5-6 weeks, it should say "shipped." from the time it says shipped you should get it 5 business days later or so. mine shipped from illinois.

Sweet, thanks for the help, the entertainment book was just a thing to buy, so I got that because they're actually really useful. Did it take long to get the first email from them with the confirmation link? I can't log into my gift status page because I don't have that yet.

In case anybody's interested, I threw up a step by step documentation thread in the Point-Based Sites forum, it's updated to the stage where I'm waiting for "greens". And on a totally unrelated topic, I checked out your website crazylicious, and I gotta say, those are some really cool pics.

What exactly did you have to do for the entertainment book offer? I just bought a book for my city, is that all there is to it?

yes, I believe all there was to it was to buy their book. That's what I did anyways.

Where did you find the pocket bike? That sounds like fun. Gas or electric? I'd take it over an ipod mini any day, and I wouldn't have to sell it. I didn't see it in the gifts though.

hyperboarder thanks, lol i take photos/web design for fun

offergift.com also owns EveryFreeGift.com and YourGiftCards.com. so i assume those should work too.

i'm still amazed. i really didn't believe offergift would work and i kinda forgot about it since it took so long, imagine by happiness and surprise when i got my mini!
