I used to think - and maybe still do - that it's all bullsh!t. Free ipods, Free gaming sytems, Free flatscreens. They'll never send the stuff.

I told my 2 friends that did the whole referral thing that they were just wasting their time. But after one of them recieved their ipod and the other recieved they're xbox, I got curious.

I won't lie, I was a little envious. They're gettin stuff for free for putting in a little less than an hour of work for each deal, where I slave over a job for atleast 15 hours to make that much.

Well, last week I tried to the free gamings system part of Gratis Internet. I finished my first deal, and it still hasn't been approved yet. They said 1-3 business days, but nope. I must have f*cked up somewhere?

So, as a result of all this, I told my friends yesteryday, "if my offer doesnt go thru, i think im gonna jump infront of a moving bus. that'll teach um. I'm gonna leave a suicide note that says, "this is all Gratis Internet's fault. f*ck them."

That is all.

UPDATE

Yeah! My offer went through. No bus for me! :)

Good luck with the whole bus thing. I hope the driver doesn't have too much guilt for running you over.

A few things I should clarify:
  • All the "free <insert product>" offers run by Gratis Networks are NOT A SCAM. Who knows that can all change. Remember CyberRebates? They eventually went bust.
  • However they have received a bad reputation because of all the damn spamming which these offers cause.
  • My friends have received their free iPod, flat screen LCD, etc. They usually either keep it or sell it on eBay for a few hundred $$$.
  • Freexbox360.com is NOT run by Gratis Networks and requires 10 sign ups. So this could be a scam.
  • Free360xbox.com is run by Gratis Networks and only requires 8 sign ups. I've signed up for this offer and hope to receive my free xbox 360 by Black Friday so I can eBay it for $$$ or keep it.
  • There are some forums out there who run successful "congo" lines where people help each other out. Find them yourself :)

What if you were to sign up with fake accounts? The cheapest offer I saw was ~$4

$4 * 5 == $20

Would that work?

i used freedvd.com and got quite a number of freebies. they even goofed and sent me some extra stuff (dvd i wanted was backordered, so i cancelled and ordered something else... they ended up sending me the new stuff i ordered, then later, sent my "cancelled" order... not bad). i don't know if they are part of gratis tho.
