why are some free offers not free

[rdluck]

 :BangHead:i am trying to make a little mo dough, but some of the free offers want my a credit card or try a free trial i don't think these should be considered free offers

[audley79]

I agree with you, that is why most "offers" I dont even bother doing.  I just stick with the dailys.  I know I dont make as much money as some people on here who do all the offers, but whatever.

[martharice]

I agree!
I am not going to give out my credit card number and spend money just to make very little money. I usually just do the daily offers and the free/no credit card required ones. I know I will not make as much money. I am also having trouble finishing some of the surveys. I will get almost to the end and they will close or I will never get finished due to offers and pop ups. Any advice on what to do about this?

I hear you--word of advice--DO NOT  (Repeat, DO NOT), give out your CC or DC in order to complete offers. I just recently encountered a situation which involved my debit card.  My purchase of gasoline was denied at a local merchant in my town..Contacted the Bank and was advised possible "fraudulent" activity on my A/C.  It can cause a "serious" problem.  ONLY complete offers requiring a DC or CC if you are SERIOUSLY interested in the product...If you are submitting your personal information just to complete offers--that's your choice--but be advised to seriously consider your decision!!

Some ofthe ones that ask for your credit card are free, if you don't keep it past the free trial. They just ask for your card number so that if you stay past the free trial, they automatically bill you. Despite the warnings about using debit cards, I do the trial offers frequently. Of course, I only do the ones I am interested in. Those are usually the only ones that credit well for me. I've been scammed a few times, but I've always managed to get my money back through the bank (they do HotCard the debit card, though, so that you ahve to get a new one).

i agree..i hate those "free" offers...nobody wants to give out their credit card number. i dont do offers with free trials..that's pointless!

[ancaliviu]

I will not give my credit card info....no way...I don;t do those offers either...better be safe than sorry

Alot of the free trials ask for your credit card, but you can try the trial out usually for 30 days and if you are not happy you can cancel.  Good luck!

never give your credit card info

Most of the offers get you to look at other offers. That is how they make money. If it is listed as free you don't have to do these offers or trials or buy anything to get credit.

sometimes i bbb the url when im about to give them my cc. But yesterday i completed a free trial they needed my cc incase i wanted to keep the service. It said clearly that they werent going to charge me until after the trial period ended but wheni went to check my account they had charged me already. So now im waiting to call them tomorrow because they are closed on weekends. So be careful out there

[boogandpeeps]

i also agree some of the offer say they are free but as soon as you see complete one silver offer you know it's no longer free so you waste time going in when you could realyy be doing a free offer. i'm recently out of work, both me and my husband were laid off june 9th, with no prospects and i'm trying to make anything i can. we have a 3 and 6 year old. there are no jobs out there. free needs to be free no strings. but, we just gotta keep weeding them out i guess. good luck to everybody.

Yea, why risk your personal info and credit card ending up in a scammers hand for a offer that you only get a buck out of. Only use if you are seriously interested in the product, not just sign up for each and every offer you can.

[resebel]

I strongly agree!

Many of the offers that require a credit card are from perfectly reputable companies.  Just like with everything, you need to sort the good out from the bad. Just be careful and give out your credit card or participate in offers that you are really comfortable with.  I have used my CC numerous times without any problems, (so far) because I am very selective.
