Free $1000 Gift Card iPod Xbox

Critiqued by Cowboytf | November 19, 2007 .

Edited: There are no current offers at the moment.  Keep checking back!

This is a long post so I will be applying the more tag on it.  I hate those but it really is long!

Woohoo!  Are they really free? Not exactly but almost.  You see them everywhere, ads that say you can get a free this or a free that and while most of you are skeptical, they do work. Where do you think all those people get those gift cards that are sold on ebay for $100, $500, etc?  This is how.  I was selling the know-how on this but decided to do something a bit different.  I’m going to tell you HOW to do it free of charge:D

Offers will change but once you pick an offer to do, it will lock it in.  Some months, there will be no offers or only 1 offer.

MY FIRST 3 RECOMMENDATIONS

  1. Buy a Visa Gift Card.  The amount will depend on the offer but here’s are some hints.  For $1000 offer, you will want to get your gift card for $50.  For $500 offer, you will want to get a gift card for $25.  By doing this, you will save yourself from the hassle of cancelling offers.
  2. Sign up with Private Phone Screen Number and get your own phone number.  It’s free and will allow your personal phone number to remain just that…PERSONAL!
  3. Sign up with Hotmail for a new email address.  This will keep from getting massive amounts of spam to your personal email address.

THE DEAL

Basically, you will sign up for offers to qualify.  First, you will go to the sponsor that is giving the gift.  Fill in the information with your new email, new phone, but use your home address because this is where your card will be sent.

SKIP ALL OFFERS until you get to the page that says sign up for (xx) amount of offers to qualify.

I’m using a $1000 gift card as an example because this is the most recent offer I did.  I spent $50 to get my $1000 card.

PAGE 1, 2, 3–Choose what ever offers you want, but I recommend these IF they are available.

  • Trimday-$6.95
  • BubbaSparx-$.99
  • Entertainment Book-$2.00 This offer does not hold or verify the money, so all you need is about 2 bucks for it to go through.
  • NutraSystem – $1.23 If you sign up for this find any “Order Now” button and click it. Make sure you find
    the “A la Carte” link on the side and order a cookie or something from this area. You do not have to sign up
    for anything expensive at all. Shipping will be $5.00
  • Dermacia–$9.95
  • Onlingo–$6.95
  • Cosmetique–$5.95
  • Great Fun–$1
  • SuperFoodsRX–$6.95
  • Quickbooks–$4.95
  • Pet Ecology–$3.95
  • Ivory White–4.87

Go to www(dot)thesponsoryoupicked(dot)com/status and check for your confirmation – (it normally updates on Fridays!)
Hit the confirm link when it appears (Usually on Fridays!) and it will take you to the final page.Print the final page, fill out the short survey, and mail it in; Use Certified Mail!

Note: If you get to a page that only shows a credit card offer, keep hitting refresh until another offer comes back up. It might take a while but it will, keep trying. You may need to get out completely and comeback to the offers for another link to pop up.
Note: Gift card will take about 2 or 3 months before it arrives, keep checking www(dot)thesponsoryoupicked(dot)com/status for updated status.
Note: Multiple offers can be done but be careful about using the same offer with the same names. Mix them up.
Note: Other offers do exist but this is by far the easiest and least complicated.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, SIGN UP FOR BONUS GIFTS, CREDIT CARDS, OR OFFERS THAT
ARE NOT NECESSARY!!!

If you chose to use your personal credit card, MAKE SURE TO CANCEL ALL OFFERS!

Important Tip: Read the return policy on each offer.  I normally would print it for my records.  Some products can simply be refused at the post office, while others require a RMA#.  Make sure you know which ones do what.

Now this may seem like a bit of work but why wouldn’t you want to do it?! I mean, you spend $50 bucks for a $1000 gift card!! And if you buy the gift card like I said in the beginning, it won’t be much work at all.  The hard part is cancelling all that crap!

So, now you’re probably wondering WHERE to find these offers.  Well, there are tons of them out there and most of them may work, however, I complete offers from certain companies that I trust and know are legit.  If you want me to send you a list of the companies I deal with, all you have to do is scratch my back;)  See my widget to the right??  Tip me and I’ll send you a list of ALL the companies I deal with.   How to tip?  You can either tip me by entering my TopSpots in the right sidebar or by clicking on the tip jar link in the sidebar.

For those of you who are skeptical…It works! I’m just a SAHM and I’m cheap.  I took some risks and some paid off and some didn’t.  I wouldn’t tell you this stuff for nothing.  I know, you’re probably saying, “but she wants me to tip her”.  You don’t have to tip me in the first place but if you want to know some of the legit places, you will.  Also, I need money too.  I got bills and kids just like everyone else.  I paid 4 times the tip me amount that you are getting for free in this post.  So you take all this free info and run with it and find trustworthy companies on your own, or you can get a little help for a very small fee.  Your choice.

ebay114.jpgThis is one of mine that I got a while back. I received a total of 4 of these. I have done many others and am currently awaiting my $1000 card:)

You can also try participating in the free iPod challenge over at Cash Quests if you think this one is too much for;)

I will follow up on this post when I receive mine and I will get a post written on HOW to make money online with these offers.  Look for that post soon.

    And thanks for sharing this. I can’t wait to try it. I LOVE the idea of using a gift card to pay for the offers. I got a re-loadable one for Christmas. Do you think that would work?

    hi there,
    I was wondering what the minimum tip is to get the list of reliable companies? I also wanted to know if you know of another company to get a phone # from since private phone has gone out of business.

    Thanks so much for this GREAT info! Being a SAHM of 2, I really, really appreciate it!

  19. Free Gadgets  February 23, 2008 6:19 am

    Are these offers available only to those in the US or can those of us over in the UK get in on the action as well?
