Definitive guide to all offers

bischbosch · 26-10-05, 07:57 PM

That's what I'm looking for. Or at least a thread or link to help me find out some info. Surely it exists somewhere?

As a newcomer to this freebie game I am confused about which sites to sign up for. I'm itching to trade green for green and yet how will I know what I'm letting myself in for until it's too late? Is there no way to check out the T&A of a site's offers prior to signing up?

Likewise, I got a question from a possible trader about the other offers on the site I've joined, but I have no idea what the T&A are or what the minimum cost to complete the offer would be. Has anyone done any compiling of this data?

Hi There!

the easiest way that traders find out offers is by asking the person they are trading with.

Usually it is stated how much the offer will cost (eg. "deposit Â£10") others like ScreenSelect will just simply say free trial which basically means that it is free.

I hope this helps!

Yeah, that kinda helps, but I wanted to put up a Willing to Go Green post, sayin which sites I'd like to trade on. Maybe I need to walk before i can run, eh?

But if anyone asks me, say, how much does it cost to sign up on the date.com offer, I haven't a clue and can't see how I would find out without signing up. See what I mean? Or am I being dense?

Swedish Tom has a site with lots of info that you're looking for. You can find the link to it in his profile!

bischbosch · 26-10-05, 08:28 PM

Hey, I've just had a thought. How about I start a thread aimed at gathering exactly this kind of info? Then anyone who has competed an kind of offer can state what they know of the T&A. eg. I've heard youcan cancel certain subs for a fee of Â£25. I was just looking again at the iPower web hosting and saw that there is a cancellation fee of $30 plus fees. I need to read the small print, but that's the kind of thing I'm getting at... a one-stop guide to what each of these offers will cost. I'm ready to kick off the thread - just tell me where I should post it.

hey, Amanda - that sounds worth checking out... I'm onto it

Thanks

bischbosch · 26-10-05, 08:35 PM

Been there and found it! Just the job. Thanks again. Now I can have a proper squint at everything and return armed for ACTION!

DiscoDJChris · 26-10-05, 08:38 PM

LOL I look forward to seeing ya!

bischbosch · 26-10-05, 08:42 PM

Actually, it doesn't tell me everything I need to know. Helpful in that it lists the offers available for each network and outlines the offer, but it still doesn't give the cost of completing the offer. eg, Channel is quoted as "starts from Â£2.99", but the real cost is Â£2.99 plus either the Â£25 cancellation fee or the cost of 6 dvds in 6 months (or something like that).

But Tom has made a fine start with this. Maybe we could invite members to supply the extra info.

bischbosch · 26-10-05, 08:59 PM

OK - here's one detail I've gleaned from the T&A

Weightwatchers - Requirement: Join the online weight watchers plan. Minimum Cost: Â£34.90

So, Tom, if you drop by, maybe you'd like to add that snippet to your excellent guide.

Welcome to exceem, dont be afraid of free sites! They wont hurt you

SwedishTom · 26-10-05, 09:36 PM

Thanks, I will add that!

If I can find which site had that as an offer!

If you find out other snippets like that for me to add I don't mind.. but maybe mention the site also.. it would help a bit on the way mate!

Cheers
Tom

bischbosch · 26-10-05, 09:39 PM

bischbosh, maybe it is the late hour but I can not find a Weightwatchers offer.. I do recognise it from somewhere but can't seem to find it.. would appreciate it if you could tell me which site it is from?

Cheers

Hi Tom - It's on the minimacgiveaway site and maybe some of the other giveaway sites too.

Will keep you posted on other stuff as I discover it.

P.S. the date.com offer is also on minimacgiveaway, among others.
