Freepay Closing?!!

wolf · 22-04-09, 10:55 PM

Hmm, interesting, they have indeed done this in the past so i wouldn't put it past them.

Possibly an attempt to rebrand and change their image? Maybe this means under the new brand they will try to step up their customer service from shoddy to average

Don't think they can do that

Actually I haven't read their T&Cs in a while but i'm pretty sure most freebie networks have something somewhere about being able to close whenever they want. Though i reckon they have to send out any outstanding orders. But people with 4/5 greens won't have a leg to stand on.

They have just done my verification and I have placed my order. Hope they send it out a bit quicker than normal

MY ACCOUNT HAS BEEN RE-OPENED!!

After over a month of waiting my account has been re-opened with a deadline of 30/06/09.

I only need 2 greens and I think some people had done offers but I hadn't been credited the green yet!

Btw... do people tend to try and get extra greens with freepay as they are pretty strict with putting accounts on hold?

It wouldn't be a bad idea.

All networks will cover things like this in T&C surely, these people are smart.

rollingsta · 26-04-09, 04:44 PM

I just went to FreePay
when i choose a website it takes me to myoffers.co.uk instead of the actual freepay site.

Haha I love how you constantly make me out to be a boy wonder. I'm really not... And I wasn't messing, it came on my Everton shirt order invoice slip.

Is this because you already have account with them though? I dont have freepay account except ipods which i have never used. maybe new users get sent to myoffers.

rollingsta · 27-04-09, 02:24 PM

EDIT: MJ10 it may be a bit of bad news but i have to tell you. i clicked on your referral link from your website and i got redirected to myoffers. i phoned up a friend and it did to him also.

Please be aware of this as this means you cannot get referrals like this.

Can someone else please test this (prefrably to a freepay account you have not signed up to before.)
