Free gifts idea.

Before you come out with "Scam!" etc, just let me put this across:

You know the old 'Free I-pods' referral websites. Well this video kind of caught my eye about the possibility of using our community to complete these referral offers and help each other receive free gifts from these websites:



This website (the one being assessed in the video) has many gifts eligible for referrance.

I took a quick look through the Terms and Conditions section of the 'Freebie Jeebies' website and one of the rules states as follows:

Conditions wrote:Sending your referral link to others in an unsolicited or excessive manner or posting your referral link in newsgroups or online forums where it is forbidden.


The referral part of the website consists of people having to sign up for things - that part of the website has a 'free offers' tab. i.e. we could all sign up for a free trial at lovefilm and rent some free movies :P

So I'm guessing the links are tracked back through to where they we're clicked. To find a way round it (i.e. pass links on xfire/teamspeak) would be interesting.

Thoughts? I wouldn't mind an IPhone or something like that :P

My guess is that it works but you will be bombed with advertisement to your email and home until the end of time.

In exchange for something like a PS3 or I-pod, I wouldn't mind.

I'd Imagine that they'd know if you we're using a proxy... you should have a wee glance at the terms and conditions to see if they do.
