Multiple accounts - help/ advice please!!

[owenroberts]

I'm after some advice please if anyone would be kind enough to help me out.

I've inadvertantly opened two accounts on both PS3 and 360 Giveaway - I won't bore you with the details but I was going to use a separate email address for freebies and then forgot. I've only completed an offer on one of each of the accounts and as soon as I realised my error I requested that the duplicate accounts be closed. I am about to start referring people but don't want to do a load of work just to have my account placed on hold because of this.

I've raised a support ticket, but the only response I get refers me back to the T&C's, which do state that multiple accounts will be placed on hold. I already knew this - what I wanted to find out is whether this still applies now that I have asked for these to be closed. I know ignorance is no excuse but it was a genuine mistake, and I have tried to correct it as best I can.

Sorry for the long post, but can anyone help with this please?

you'll get put on hold
Best to leave it and start up with another netowrk . . and this time use one e mail address

Blimey that was quick!!!

Thanks for the advice. I thought that would be the case, but was hoping otherwise. The Giveaway sites have the lowest number of referrals (as far as I can see) so I was planning to use these.
I can still do Nextgen I suppose.

Yer I have the same problem! I have 3 referrals aswell?
Have you got any more ideas on what to do ?? What are other 360 giveaway websites ?

I did exactly the same thing with Freeclickz.

After a few drinkies late one night I signed up to several freebie sites, then about a week later decided to set up a dedicated email address for freebies and registered with Freeclickz again. When I realised what I'd done I immediately contacted Woostar who closed the first account and allowed me to continue with the second. I made a point of asking if this issue would affect me when it came to the verification stage and he assured me it would not be a problem. I also kept screenshots and printouts of all correspondence to be safe.

It's a shame you can't get a more personal response to your query like I had with Freeclickz.

Thanks. Do you (or anyone else) know of anyone at Giveaway that I could contact by PM regarding this

Ok sorry, but I have already tried that and they wouldn't give me a definite answer so I thought I would ask here to see whether anyone else could help.

Now that's what I call good customer service and support. Well done Woostar.

Thats seems to be the general consensus. Oh well, Nextgen it is then.

3. Cancellation of Account

(a). For an account to be deactivated, please contact our support department at http://support.giveawaynetwork.co.uk

That's from Giveaways terms and conditions, if you have the other account deactivated, and I think by law if you request it they must remove ALL of your information, they would not be able to place you on hold?

[TheDetox]

LOL that just means you close an account i did that with my other one i made but still got put on HOLD, you break the terms they don't send ya NOTHING

I had a similar problem where I had two accounts at the same address, but then I realised that it would be classed as having multiple accounts even though one of them was my sisters. I emailed Giveaway and told them my situation and they deleted my sisters account. Since then I have been verified and am awaiting my free PS3. I have been really impressed with giveaways support system. Your situation may be different as you have completed an offer. Anyway good luck!

When I opened my second account I had completed an offer too. What Woostar did was cancel this second account and transfer the credited offer to my original account. I don't think it's something he would like to make a habit of but he was very supportive.
