why are some free offers not free

[nicnat20]

will they always have enough free offers to earn money?

FC will always have enough free offers...the problem is free isn't always free and being able to qualify.  There is always a trap somewhere.  The advertisers aren't always reputable and will get your answers without paying you.

thats so true. it seems like half of the free offers are just a waist of time.

I wish there would be a easy symbol for hte ones that ask for cad info and such.  I would think twice for doing a "free" thing that requires your info.  Lord knows what they do with it after they have it!

i think they shouldn't be considered free either.  it's disappointing going through the whole thing then find out you need a credit card to get credit.

I don't recall ever seeing a "free / no cc required" offer that required a credit card to complete the offer itself. I seee many offers within the offer that do that though and even worse are the ones that want to bill your phone and they to make you think your just taking a quiz or something. On the other hand I have seen many that are very simple and all you have to do is put in a email address or register for something. I look at most of them and am just cafeful not to fall into side offers.

I don't ever give my credit card or sign up for anything that I will be billed for.  I do need to figure out how to identify which surveys don't require these.

I think these people are talking about the 'free' offers such as Take a quiz..than asks you for your cell phone and when you read the small print it charges your phone bill X amount of dollars or the others that do the same for different reasons.  I've run into them from time to time.  They are mostly the $1 offers.

I hate those so much. I probably wouldn't mind, if the cell phone thing was a one-time thing or something like that (PIN submit, and that's it - no subscriptions, no charges other than that 15 cents, etc...). But other than that...No.

As for the trial offers - I only go for the ones I am truly interested in, and ones that I can trust.

[Mescalene]

You have to read them carefully. Some may say free with no credit card needed and some say free trial subscriptions .

[Rastov]

This is just false...
There is not a single offer in the Free/NoCC list that requires a credit card.
The only one that will even cost you money is the AccountNow one. And it won't cost you anything unless you activate it.

[yelenaily]

these are all free and no credit card required

[debraleesparks]

 :thumbsup:YES!! You have to be careful, because some sites will charge you EVERY month!!! I found out the HARD WAY!!!

Seeing that motivates me even more.
