USA/Canada Offer Details

Favoran · 01-03-09, 08:01 PM

I'm curious as to the specific workings of some of the cheaper offers for USA/Canada residents. First, when looking at the Yahoo Search Success one, how long must someone have their account and stay with the trial before canceling? Because staying the full two weeks and paying $60 is not part of the offer requirements.

Also, you need to update the fj offers page to reflect the fact that this offer now charges $2.95. "By submitting this form I authorize SearchSuccess. to immediately charge my credit card $2.95 for the electronic shipment/setup of the Search Success Kit."

The same concern about canceling the trial applies to the eAuction Tutor offer, though that one shows the correct price.

For Netflix, the offer page does not show how much continuing after a free trial will cost those who sign up. Also, do you have to order DVDs for this offer to count?

The QuickBooks Simple Business Kit once again has the trial period concern. And I can't find the S&H price on their site, so I don't know if it's still $1.95 at this point. Wouldn't hurt to look into, though; you want the offer details to be as specific as possible, right?

Increase My Margin is the exact same. In fact, they hardly bothered to change anything about the page. XD Same concerns as the QuickBooks one.

The Google one has a 7-day trial instead of a 14-day one, good thing to note. >_> FJ has the correct price but no info on canceling before the end of the trial.

The DVD one... is a useless offer. The most expensive by far. XD

One last thing that applies to these S&H offers in general... Does it matter if we provide accurate addresses to them? Because I, for one, do not care about any of their offers. I just want the green.

Plus, I'm over 18, but I still live with my parents (for now). I don't want to have to explain some random computer software just showing up at our house.

Talk of cancelling offers isn't allowed mate, sorry. The networks like FJ and Kudos etc don't list offers so that people can just get "greens". They are legit businesses that attempt to pass on "real" customers.

Oh, right. That makes sense.

Hmm, then how would I go about asking my question? Because I don't want to get penalized by my offer not counting simply because I don't want to fork over $60.

I understand that these are real companies and we're acting as a form of advertisement for them. Otherwise referrals wouldn't be worth squat. XD

What about the other price concerns on the offers page itself? Is there someone who can address those?

i'll look into updating the costs of each offer - i could only go on what they tell us because we can't access them ourselves (based in UK)

Thanks. If you need someone on this side of the pond to check them out I can, but I don't think that should be necessary because they shouldn't go around lying about that to you anyhow.

And I figured out a way to rephrase my earlier question! How long does it take to complete an offer with one of those two-week trial offers?

I would like to know and long does it take for the king.com offer to go green? I suscribed at this offer especially because it indicated they ad a special 'deal' with FJ.
