I got my free iPhone 3G PAYG 8GB from GA

Parkdude · 27-01-09, 03:20 PM

This arrived today from GA. However, I would recommend people stick to Freebie Jeebies or Kudos.

My experience with GA has not been good and I wouldn't really recommend them for the following reasons:

1. When I initially signed up to iphone.GA I did so because they advertised a free iphone at only 5 referrals.

This seemed ridiculously low and easy to get, and although I was a bit sceptical, I knew the Giveaway network had been around a long time and was eXceem approved, so I signed up quickly and emailed all my friends. Some of my friends signed up for this, because they trusted me and it was such a good deal.

I was totally appalled when they changed the referral rates from 5 to 13 shortly after, as I felt like I had been conned into signing up. I also felt bad, cos I had to explain to friends/family who had signed up. Many of them have been put off, and think it's some kind of con now.

2. Support tickets take too long to receive a response.

3. Although the verification process was relatively quick, it took 5 weeks from my verification to actually receive my item. I verified on 19th December, if this order had been with FJ or Kudos it would of arrived for Xmas most probably.

4. Yellows AND Greens do not roll over, so say you have 100 yellows and 3 greens left over after verification, you lose them all! Again maybe I've been spoilt with the other networks, but losing greens is majorly off-putting for me.

So in summary, thanks GA but personally I will not be using you again for the above reasons.

Congrats and thanks for the advice

I'm really glad I didn't ever direct any referral links towards GA now - signed up for iphone site, got 2 yellows and they changed the amount of referrals from 5-->13. I stayed well clear after that.
