If we have to pay to complete offers, doesn't that defeat the point?

Giant Squid · 07-01-10, 11:28 PM

The title is pretty much self explanatory, but yes, if completing an offer requires payment, then I fail to see how this qualifies as 'free' at all. Is there something I'm missing here?

(This is an honest question, I'm not trying to troll the forums.)

there are free offers

wolf · 07-01-10, 11:29 PM

There are free offers and even then. The alternative is go to the shop and buy it yourself.

Would you rather pay £10 or hundreds of pounds?

Bu essentially what I'll be doing is paying £10 myself and getting my friends to pay the rest for me. I don't want to mooch off my friends, so how can I avoid this?

not if they complete free offers too, and get themselves a freebie.

or you can get randomers off the internet to sign up for you, which is harder but you wouldn't be bugging your friends.

I'm in Australia. This is what my offers page currently looks like:

Simmo · 07-01-10, 11:50 PM

It's free in the respect once you've got your referrals they'll send it to you for free.

Obviously, you have to do something first that enables your gift to be send to you.

wolf · 07-01-10, 11:55 PM

I think the best advice is for you to just do what you think is best, if you don't think it's worth it then don't bother. You're not my referral so I'm not gonna waste anymore time trying to convince you it's a good idea.

It's unfortunate that there don't appear to be any free offers for your neck of the woods, but that's just the way it is.

Mkay, how often are these offers updated?

mcgrou · 08-01-10, 12:01 AM

I thought intuit was an international offer, when did that get discontinued, or am I just wrong?

It appears that there aren't any free offers available in Australia at the moment, which kinda sucks for you and for us. You can always complete one of the paid offers, as you'll essentially be paying £10 for something a lot more expensive, so you'll be making a profit. I'd recommend the little bid tasty offer, as it is the freebiejeebies twin site and your offer will be marked as complete instantly - you'll also have £10 worth of credits to try and win more prizes on that site

The offers are updated as soon as new ones become available, so you could always wait and see if a free one becomes available down under sometime soon. (You could try getting referrals in the meantime and complete the offer last, after getting the required amount)

Giant Squid · 08-01-10, 12:07 AM

Okay then, thanks for your replies.

I think I'll wait for a free offer, so that nobody looses out.
