Has anyone done this offer? If so, how long did it take to credit? I've been waiting over a week now.

bastards !

Well, my ref did this for me for an iPod Shuffle.
They signed up for the offer on Tuesday, and the credit went through the next day, on Wednesday.
So it seems to be ok...at least for me. I hope yours goes through soon ragefu.

So yeah, the credit only took one day, but I guess I'll have to wait and see if she gets the magazines...and that they really only charge her $29.

Yep, I never got an email, but the $29 is on my bank statement. How long do I have to wait before I should notify freepay to get it credited?

that sucks. I wish Freepay would tell you how many days it will take to credit like Trainn does.

So how do you request manual credit from Freepay if they don't send a receipt in email? My sister, who took the offer, can of course supply the email address that was used.

Same here. I would not recommend anyone to do the magazineburst offer. It's one big headache. Why is the offer there, if you have to jump through hoops to get the credit? Isn't there a freepay rep here that can answer that?

They closed my ticket and said that I need to fax them a receipt, bank statement, or some other proof that I completed the offer. I'm starting to wonder if magazine burst was a scam as I have not received anything from them since the offer, but they did draft the $29.00 from my bank account.

Please choose another offer on the freepay sites.

I faxed my bank statement this morning. I also pm'd Jake to let him know about it. Hopefully it'll go green soon.

princessfrozen · Posted: Fri Dec 30, 2005 8:33 am Post subject:

I got credit instantly today.

Browser - IE6, no popup blocker
Method of payment - Mastercard

Also, I used all the same details that I did on the site I was doing. I hope that helps anybody in the future.

I did this for either Laptops or PS3, and was credited in a matter of seconds...less than 30 seconds for sure!

I just noticed this pop up on my freepay offers list and thought it might be good to try since I recently ran out of some of my magazine subs. I checked ratetheoffers and it has a good rating on there too so all looked good until I checked here. damn, guess I'll stay away.

justinag06 · Posted: Mon Feb 27, 2006 9:02 am Post subject:

i got credit and my mags

just not right away

luckycat · Posted: Mon Feb 27, 2006 5:06 pm Post subject:

I just got my magazines, just took about 2-3 months to get them!

GiftOrb · Posted: Tue Feb 28, 2006 8:07 am Post subject:

I got the mags... but the WRONG ONES

sweatpea17 · Posted: Fri Mar 23, 2007 10:42 pm Post subject:

these jerks charged me 77 dollars instead of 27. calling them tomorrow.us they better give me my money back. mg bank will get me my money back. but thats a big hassle. i wouldn't recommend this offer either.

bruman · Posted: Fri Mar 23, 2007 11:03 pm Post subject:

I did this offer many months ago on an i-deal site... still haven't received any magazines!

Michael G. · Posted: Mon Oct 01, 2007 7:46 am Post subject:

I just completed this offer, and the site's details are VERY misleading. It says nice and big that it's $27, and other fees per magazine may apply. What isn't in there, is that the other fees may lead up to $94! My card was charged $121.22. I would recommend staying AWAY from that offer.
