Purchase free item, pay for shipping, receive $10?
« on: February 11, 2013, 11:53:07 am »
Hello.  :) .. has anyone had experience with these types of offers? Any advice or explanations would be greatly appreciated. Seems incredible... paying $8.95 for shipping, and getting a new item plus $10 from FC? Maybe I'm not understanding it the right way?  ??? .. thanks for any help!  ;D

Have never done one of those and probably will not. Have read where they may be good but info says keep track of the details of your transactions.

 :) Thanks.. I may try one if the item is something I would genuinely want to use... just in case I end up spending money and getting nothing in return (but the item of course!).. hopefully someone out there knows something?  :dontknow:

Ok.. I just filled one out like I was going to actually follow through.. and this particular one had small print saying that you were agreeing to sign up for a monthly club, where a new item would ship to you automatically every 30 days. So maybe that's how they all will be..?

You should always read the small print before taking an offer, any offer. You need to follow directions and instructions to a T. Shipping and handling is part of almost any offer on any site and it can be expensive. The product might be free but shipping and handling usually is not.

The offer that you mentioned as being part of a monthly club is a trial offer or subscription. Not all offers are like that but some are and you need to be aware of what you are signing up for. Be certain that you really want the product. Do not just sign up for it to get the reward.

Welcome to Fusion cash. it is a great site. There are many good offers, both free, and those that require a credit card.   :wave:

I did the one for the skillet. I opted out once my shipment was received. Got the skillet, got the fusion cash bonus and never got charged another penny. And we  :heart: the skillet!

Thanks so much for the help, bostonphil.. AND the welcome! :) I will be sure to read everything before committing... it's great advice!  ;)

hvlydevil, I was interested in the skillet! It looks like a great one! Maybe I will try what you did. Thanks for your help!  ;D

Thanks, elisajoy! :) The hunting knife offer that's up there today was actually one that has an ongoing 'monthly subscription' kind of deal. Seems like a really great thing if you collect knives! lol.. they WERE pretty nice! I guess one could always opt out after the first month?

Thanks again everyone!

The opt out on the skillet is automated making it that much easier! :)
