Can i start again?

[pottageb]

Tab,

Is it possible you could reset my minimacgiveaway account as i would like to complete this site again.

thanks, pottageb

[zara]

You can't do that, otherwise everybody would have done it.

[Jonny]

It's an idea, though.

To make it more attractive for the Giveaway Network, for your second Mac Mini you could need 15 referrals, and for your third 20, etc.

[pottageb]

good idea jonny, maybe tab will consider that

[Kello]

Do think so, he would have to change the T&C, doubt he will do that because then it could be unfair on other people.

[Jonny]

Unfair on which people?

[hakz]

What if, after you get your mac or xbox, you get the x amount of greens necessary + 1. would you be able to get that item?

[pottageb]

yeah thats what jonny said, but +5 instead.

[hakz]

yeah but maybe it should be only +1, which makes sense because it will be as if you have signed up for a new account and completed an offer.

[Jonny]

read my sig.

I could be completely wrong about this, but my impression is that GA may be losin a bit of money everytime they give away an intel mac mini. Profit is relied on people not fully completing or getting a bit too many refs.

I was pleasantly surprised about the intel mac mani especially when u consider the low number of refs required compared to how much it is worth. I suppose all good things have to come to an end and I don't blame Tab & co tbh

This is correct... We lose money everytime we send out any item. The refs on all of our sites are not enough to cover the cost of the items.

With regards to allowing people to start again, we will never be doing this. There are a lot of reasons for not allowing users to complete a site more than once, the main reason being it is open to fraud on so many levels. The system we have in place at the moment is the most solid and strategically sound system possible for this type of business. It allows for growth and continued profit in tandem, after all as much as I enjoy sending out free gifts, this is a business for me and the bottom line is what counts.

Didn't mean to ramble so much there

your being sarcastic right?

[Emma]

Don't think he is! Items cost a lot more to buy than the offers completed etc so for every person that completes a offer, the giftsite loses money! That's why they have to rely on people doing an offer and referring people but not completing the site, or their referrals not completing!

[rockykabir]

For some gifts, yes maybe the refs will cover the price of the goods. But 10 refs for a £400+ item, I doubt it. Some of these freebie sites do reduce their costs by buying through wholesale/agencies (hence the reasoning behind delayed stocks etc..) but in many cases they do end up losing money.

This is not new....many of the mobile phone stores selling contracts with cashback redemption actually rely on people forgetting to claim.

At the moment, I think GA are the top network in the UK for low ref requirements for many of their gifts.

[Jonny]

Just as well I got a few extra greens then

Unfortunately the majority of our gifts are apple products, and apple have absolutely zero mark up on their products. The price you see on the Apple store is the lowest price you are gonna find anywhere, so bulk buying or not your not gonna get it any cheaper.
