FreeSlide - PlasmaNet - Dba FreeEoffersFreeSlide ripoff Free IPod (Ha!) Columbia South Carolina
After receiving an eMail from FreeSlide, Inc announcing that they are giving a free IPOD away today, I followed all prompts and even purchased from a sponsor and have not been given a follow up with my winning information as promised. Two Days have passed and several eMails only to be answered by an automated reply. This has been since 4/12/04. this is a similar situation to a mirror offer from FreeLortto eOffers.

I recieved my gift as promised

I received my gift as promised. I ordered the AOL Broadband(cancelled at no charge after trial), I ordered an ink refill(I received in about 10 days) I ordered the trimlife(one month supply, then cancelled). I subscribed to the magazines(which I still receive some, the ones I did not want I easily cancelled with a quick and easy call from the card they sent me before I was charged again). I tried the BMG music club, I only have one cd left to buy in the next 2 years). I joined the book club which since I read alot was fine with me, I have to purchase 2 more books in the next 2 years. At first I was not receiving the credit for my purchases when I kept checking my status, then I emailed freeslide and they emailed me back and told me to forward my emails acknowledgements from my purchases, which I did. The trimlife did not send me an email confirmation, but I went to their website and told them to send me proof of my purchase and they did which I forwarded to freeslide. Within 2 days I checked my status and saw that I had all my credits and then 2 days later I received an email telling me I had fulfilled my points and asked for my email address and after they verified my purchases I would receive my gift in about 10 days to 2 weeks. I kept checking for an email of verification, but about 10 days later my kitchenaid mixer showed up at my door in perfect condition and it works great. I admit I was skeptical and I guess I did spend money to get it, about 90 to 100 dollars over the course of 6 months. But I got some good deals and got to try some other products and then cancel them without issue. I read all the find print before I entered this deal. I am happy with the company and how they responded. I am sure there are cases where they probably didn't respond as well, but I want to give credit where it is due. I read alot of bad reports before I even started this offer, I guess I kind of went in thinking this was a scam, but wanting to test the situation and then being prepared to raise hell when I didn't get what was promised. But, it worked, much to my surprise. I guess I could have gone out and bought a mixer, but it is nice that I can say that not everything is a scam on the internet. I noticed when I read the emails complaining about freeslide, that they didn't seem to be reading all the fine print and the requirements. Frankly, nothing is free. Maybe some of the freeslide offers were really fake or something, like somebody trying to take advantage of people and pretending to be freeslide. Whatever the case, it worked for me.

Wait Some More

You've waited TWO whole days and nothing has happened? The web site clearly says that points can take up to six weeks to register (they usually take between three and four weeks) and once you register, you can send emails to [email protected] instead of to [email protected].
