Freebie Proof - Part 3 - Personal Anecdote

Well here's a general summary of my freebie experience.

I started on September 17th, 2007 on 360Elite4Free.Com. It was about the time Halo 3 was coming out and I wanted an XBOX 360 badly. So I was cruising eBay looking for XBOX 360s, sorting cheapest first and there was a ton of these dumb auctions for "FREE XBOX 360s". At the time I was strapped for cash so I thought 'What do I have to lose?'. One thing led to another and I signed up as a referral for a guy from my home state of Oregon (Orygun).

Anyway, I quickly realized that all my friends were way to skeptical of my online discoveries and there was no way they were going to be my referrals. So I discovered Anything4Free.Com where I traded referrals (you do a referral on mine I do one on yours) for about 5-6 referrals. Then I started paying people to do my referrals which was much more reliable and faster.

About 45 days later I got a nice big package on my doorstep containing a wonderful, brand new, XBOX 360 Elite with an extra black wireless controller and HALO 3! I can't put into words how awesome it was to flaunt it's beauty in front of all my skeptical friends that wouldn't help me out. Ironically enough I ended up getting the extra controller so they could play with me, cause I'm a nice guy like that.

To date here is what I have received including images below:

360Elite4Free.Com ($660)

  • XBOX 360 Elite System
  • Extra wireless XBOX 360 controller
  • Halo 3
YourFree360Games.Com ($240)

  • FIFA 08 ($60)

Don't believe me?

on the trainn sites what offers did you complete?

also i was wondering if you can complete more than one site from trainn. such as can i get an xbox from 360elite4free.com and than get a ps3 from yourps34free.com. or does the comany only give out one gift to every customer?

Hi there Aaron,

Thanks for the great questions. On these sites the offers I did include Stamps.Com, Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly, Build A Bear Club, Disney Book Club, Dr Seuss Book Club, Advantage Language, Video Professor, Dermacia...and probably a couple others.

From my personal experiences I'd personally recommend Stamps.Com, Blockbuster, Gamefly, or any of the book/bear clubs.

But that's probably because those are the offers that I was interested in doing from the start.

If I had to make one suggestion regarding offers it would be do one that you are legitimately interested in, it makes the whole process that much more enjoyable.

For your second question, you are allowed to sign-up for each site once. So yes, you can get a 360 from 360elite4free.coma and a PS3 from PS34Free.Com and one account for every other site.

Thanks for the good questions! If you have anymore or need any help feel free to ask away. If you have specific questions as they regard to your personal account feel free to contact me on AIM:dshosu. I've been doing this for a while now and know pretty much all the ins and outs of the business.

Good Luck!

hey - I started a Traiin site and I got my nephew to give me a referral... and it's been 4 days since I HAVEN'T gotten the instant credit.... and I did a referral for someone else and it didn't go through either (an instant one as well - 5 days ago)- what could be the problem???

Hi,

Thanks for your questions!

In order to get credit properly you should make sure you:
1. set your browser to "accept all cookies" and...
2. Clear your internet cookies

all prior to doing an offer, if you do that I assure you, you will get credit in a timely manner.

If you don't get credit, after 7 days you can file an "MCR" Manual Credit Request. Basically if you do the offer, you will get credit.

Thanks!

How did you go about finding the people you paid to do your offers?

i LOVE this site, but i simply do not want to put any personal information, and i wont change my mind in a million years!

is there a way through some of these burdens (email, address, creditcard, etc.)?

it is so dumb and rather pointless that they won't allow PO boxes!!!

Hi smithmax13, and anonymous!

First off, my apologies for not getting to your questions sooner! For some reason I disabled the "email when new comment is posted" feature. But now we're back!

smithmax13 - I found the people to pay for my referrals via the "Ref 4 Cash" section. I created a simple post offering $$/referral and after a while messages started trickling in (as did referrals!)

anonymous - Thanks you! I'm glad you like it, it took me a while to compile all of it but I'm glad it's helping people! As for getting around the personal information section. To my knowledge there is not. But once again, I reiterate that these companies are respectable, and not the SPAM monsters they are made out to be. I've been out of freebies for the past couple months and I haven't seen 1 piece of junk mail! I realize there's no changing your mind but for anyone else who's reading and is skeptical my advice to you is not to worry.

I don't think I can sign up for 10 different offers so the idea of paying people to sign up sounds more attractive to me. Did you use anything4free.com to get those people you paid to sign up? How do I go about this?

Hi Aaron,

I have just started exploring the world of freebies. Haven't really started doing anything except googling all the information I can about it. What I want to know is if you are paying for your referrals or doing referrals for referrals, Is it really worth it in the end to get a freebie. Wouldn't the cost of getting referrals be almost the cost of the freebie item.
