The ENTIRE TruthaAbout Freepay

[ravstar11]

So, like I do, I was stumbling accross the internet to come accross Gratis Internet. Now we all know what that is... But look at waht I find, this was of Wikipedia and to be honest I was .

Gratis Internet was established in 2001. Since July 2004, it has launched a number of websites offering free merchandise, most notably iPods, to users who register and complete membership requirements. Although the word "free" is used prominently, would-be members seeking to complete an offer to qualify for the free merchandise are often given a number of options, some of which involve signing up and paying for a service or subscription. Gratis has launched its websites in the US, UK, Canada, Germany and more recently Australia. In August 2005, Gratis Internet branded its websites as FreePay.

Gratis's revenue in 2004 was US $20,479,325.00 according to Inc.com. Inc.com also reports that Gratis Internet has only 12 employees.

In March 2006, Gratis Internet announced new terms of service imposing time limits , which have been controversial among users.

Gratis Internet is a Washington, D.C.-based referral marketing company that rewards customers with products of high-demand such as the iPod and Playstation 3. As of 2004, it is a member of the Inc. 500; while in 2005 Gratis' name was found sitting at number eighteen in the top twenty. Its name comes from the Latin word Gratis, meaning free of charge.

Based on Better Business Bureau files, this company has an unsatisfactory record with the Bureau due to unanswered complaint(s). In the last 36 months to February 2008 Better Business Bureau has processed 866 complaints about Gratis Internet.

has been posted before but it's still shocking.

[DrumBum]

They seem to be paying out recently though

[dbatch]

the reason why i wont join their site is because of the 120 day limit and after hearing all the bad press about them im definately not now!

[delude]

Well, I'm as happy as can be with them right now, after opening up my inbox

[Gulandril]

one thing that should be noted about Wikipedia, is that it's only as reliable as it's sources.

due to Wikipedia's open editing policy, anyone can add or modify just about anything, so the Wiki itself is not inherently a verifiable source.

Oh my god, over $20m revenue? That's just bloody insane!! Bearing in mind there are 12 employees.

That's it - I'm quitting my job on eBay

there was a freepay rant thread that I created to hopefully lessen the amount of "freepay sucks" threads and they could direct their rants there.

[Larkino]

uh huh, and a sticky wont make any difference to anyone posting about a moan either, lol.

[emid123]

JESUS, 866 COMPLAINTS!! CHRIST!!

yay, my status on freepay has just turned to STV, sorry about that, got excited.

[jakethepeg]

Didn't the_saint show us in another thread that this is really in fact useless information??? Search it - he's good with arguments like this!

Also, wikipedia, however good it may be, isn't good for the smaller topics... If I was to change Christianity to Christianism, as you allowed to do on wikipedia, it would get editted back within seconds, but with smaller subjects... Someone at school put themselves as the number 1 striker for the Aaland Islands football team about a year ago I think, and I'm pretty sure they are still there!

Dude, I'll have you know that I was not complaining that I was on STV for over 2 weeks at all, I was asking if anybody else had been in the same boat.

Get your facts right before you act like immature on a public forum and try to take the piss and twist words, okay?

[ravstar11]

Uh- yea', well guys, ummm...how do I put his...ummm....NO ARGUMENTS! Thank you for your co-operation . Hahaha. No serious, James is right though. But again no need for arguments...
