Freebie Sites FAQ

FAQ's 

Is This A Scam?

Alsolutely NO. There is so much money to make from Freebie Sites. When you sign up and complete an offer for a freebie site, the freebie site get paid a bounty by the advertiser. Also, the advertiser potentially makes a lot of money off of users that continue with the service they signed up for. Last but not least, you and I get freebies!

What's the catch?

Good question. You obviously realize that you aren't going to sit on your couch and then next week a bunch of expensive gifts are NOT going to just show up at your door for no reason other than you wanted one. The catch is that you must complete an offer for an advertising company and then refer X number of friends to complete offers as well. That way the freebie site gets paid from the advertiser, the advertiser gets potential customers, and most important of all you get a freebie!

If you are ready to get started head over to the Products page and pick your FREE Gift!!!!

Like many others, you may be wondering how in the world we are able to give away free gifts. Hopefully, this document will help clarify things for you.

Lets begin by explaining the process to which you, the user, takes in order to receive your gift.

 

Choose your gift. Just click on the bubble underneath whatever gift you want and register. Enter your email with the "New User" box checked, and click on register now. You should be brought to a page asking you to fill out some important information, including your name, address, and telephone number. Make sure you enter everything accurately, as we will need this information to ship out your gift! If you've already registered on one of our other sites, please check the existing user box and log-in with the details of your other account.

 

Once you have registered and are logged into the site, please click on the "Offers" link. This should be clearly visible if you are logged in successfully. Now that you're on the offers page, you should see a whole lot of sites advertising products or services. These are known as "offers". Your goal is to earn one full credit in offer completions. Offers that state "Credit Value: 1 Credit" will earn you this full credit, while offers that state "Credit Value: 1/2 Credit" will earn you 1/2 of a credit. You should notice that we have a very large selection of offers, so you're bound to find something that interests you. Don't worry, nearly all of our offers aren't going to cost you a ridiculous amount of money. We have many free trials!

 

You're getting there! This final step involves you referring a few friends to complete this same process that you just went through. Assuming that you've now earned one full offer credit, please click on the "Status" page. On this page, you should see some in bold stating "Your Referral Link" with a link below it. This is the link you will give to your friends when referring them to the site. If you're unsure of how many friends you need to refer, please look under under the "Your Selected Prize" gift image. You should see something such as (2 Referrals) indicating that you need to refer two friends to sign up and earn a full offer credit.

What is "Going Green?" 

"Going green" is an industry term. It means that as a referral, you have completed all the needed requirements. It's called "going green" because that is the color that the sites use to let the trader and the referral know when they have finished their requirements. This will all make much more sense as you read the trade walk-through tutorial on the forum.

Do I have to use my real name and information?

Yes. You must provide accurate information when signing up on the freebie site and the sponsor offers, otherwise your sign up will not be confirmed, you won't receive your payment or item, and you will probably be banned from the site.

Once I complete an offer how long does it take to show as "green?"

It can take anywhere from a few minutes to several days. It depends on the offer your choose and how they report the status of your offer completion to the freebie site. Each site will clearly tell you how long it takes for each individual offer. Please note that "instant" does not mean instant in this industry.

When I sign up for an offer that is a free trial, do I have to keep it if I decide that I am not interested in the product/service, or can I cancel it?

In general, when possible you should always try to pick offers that you may be interested in keeping. You can find many that cost less than the going rate for greens, meaning that you can keep the offer and still make a profit.

You should only take offers that you are genuinely interested in at least trying. IF you find once you have tried the offer, that for whatever reason it does not suit you or appeal to you, you CAN cancel it. Remember, you can take these offers as gifts for others, as treats for your family, as something for yourself you would have never done if not paid to do so, etc. There are many offers you will be interested in!

Taking offers you have no interest in at all, simply to fulfill the needed requirements for the freebie site as a referral, then turning around and canceling them right away is FRAUD, and therefore illegal.

For that reason freebie sites will ban people that promote cancellations, or help people to cancel, and the topic is taboo on the forums.

If you must cancel, you should wait until near the end of the trial period, giving the product a fair try.

 

Can I take the same offer more than once?

No. Once you choose an offer and complete it,that's it. You can not take that offer again on any other site. Even should you cancel on one site, then take the offer again on another site, you will be red flagged and sited for fraud. Remember, Fraud is illegal, and therefore, you don't want to take one of these offers, cancel it then take it again. That is very bad, and not allowed. It is also not allowed to take an offer for a service you have been a member of in the past. These companies are paying for "new leads" meaning that they want people who have never tried their product/service before.

What do I do if the offer(s) I take don't credit?

If your computer is set properly to allow cookies and if you have followed the proper procedure for getting offers to credit, then you should have little problem. 9 times out of 10 the reason an offer did not credit properly is due to the fault of the referral, NOT the offer or the freebie site. IF, however, you feel that you are not at fault for the offer not crediting, then you MAY at some sites issue a MCR (Manual Credit Request). Many sites do not allow MCR's anymore, though, as scammers and frauders got a hold of this industry and took advantage of the MCR system. Sadly, it did much damage to the industry and cost everyone a lot of money. SOME sites do still offer MCR's though, and once again, check that site's Terms and Conditions page to see if that site will take a MCR or not.

If they do not accept MCR's, you may have to take another offer to make up for the one that did not credit. This does not happen frequently however, and should not be a constant issue for you.

Can I join an freebie site more than once?

No. They consider that "fraud." You can only join each site once per household. That means that if you have two computers you can not join from both, and that your spouse or other family member can not join the same site if they have the same identifying information as you (email address, phone number, shipping address, ISP address, etc.)

Can I get a prize from a freebie site more than once?

Sometimes, it depends on the site. Some sites allow you to complete the requirements for a prize and then do another with the same account, this is called a "repeatable site" or  a "forever green" site. This means you can sign up, go green, get your needed referrals for that prize, get that prize, pick another prize (or the same one again) and start getting referrals all over again! If you pick a cash prize, its an endless cash flow situation!

Some sites, however, are NOT repeatable. To find out if a site is repeatable or not, you can ask a fellow member, or look at that site's "Terms and Conditions" page for all that site's information.
