Hey, and sorry to throw you off - yes, you know me, but through Diana. I'm her Arkansan friend Amy! The blog is great, by the way. Thanks for the free stuff advice. I'm going to try again, and really stick to my guns - but only when my husband can watch the kids and I can give my free offers the undivided attention they deserve!MMA Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05632305582129330551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22019770.post-1141064375717304022006-02-27T12:19:00.000-06:002006-02-27T12:19:00.000-06:00Oh yeah, one more thing.

I have yet to come across an offer that didn't deliver on what it promises--as long as you satisfy their requirements according to their own terms. So, stick with the ones you've started or go with an easier one (not a $1500 gift card, complete eleven offers gig). Beware of the offers that use the bait and switch. A teeth whitening company offered a 14 day free trial, but when you read the fine print there is no way to opt-out of the first autoship that costs a hundred bucks. Yeah. Avoid crap like that.Coachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16363620753397166453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22019770.post-1141063949410285092006-02-27T12:12:00.000-06:002006-02-27T12:12:00.000-06:00Well, what has been the problem so far? Have you ...Well, what has been the problem so far? Have you gotten credit for the offers you already signed up for? Do you have to wait 6-8 weeks before the credit shows up on your account? Have you kept records of what websites you've signed up for and specific info (phone, e-mail) on how to cancel when and if you decide to do so? I would stick with the ones you've already started--have faith! If you look at gifts with offers that require you to do something that takes more money and/or time than you have, then keep looking for a new one--don't waste your time there. Feel free to post back or give me an e-mail address. Good luck.<BR/><BR/>Plus, do I know you?Coachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16363620753397166453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22019770.post-1140801016896455192006-02-24T11:10:00.000-06:002006-02-24T11:10:00.000-06:00OK, Shane.

I am finding that to get anything free, I have to sign up for millions (ok, maybe just thousands) of offers and some of them do cost money. I was trying one this morning, thinking, "Shane said it's so - so it must be so!" I'd been trying them ever since I read your blog, but got so frustrated each time that I just quit. As a result, I've signed up for every free newsletter in the free world and will be getting Netflix free for two weeks and Columbia House DVDs - but STILL no free stuff! So, more advice free??? The one this morning offered a $1,500 gift card to Bed, Bath, and Beyond, but all 11 offers I had to sign up for (mind you, it first said ONE and not ELEVEN) cost money. I want free stuff!MMA Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05632305582129330551noreply@blogger.com
