Free Gift Card Offers Not So Free!

One of the things that is bothering me about some of these so-called free gift card offers is that one of the requirements to get them is that they want you to give them credit card information. This is something that I really don't agree with and so far when I get these kinds of sponsored emails from the paid survey sites that I belong to (so far) I don't apply for them. I go on to something else. However you may feel differently about this when considering the kind of sponsored emails that you choose to participate in.

I Joined Another Paid Survey-Like Site!

I saw this site recommended from someone else's blog. It got high reviews so I decided to join this site as well. I found out some interesting information about how you go about joining this particular survey site.

While signing up for it doesn't seem to be too difficult, in order to qualify and join the program you have to first click on one of their offers. Now this shouldn't sound so bad but so far all of these offers require you to either order something or give them your credit card number! It also seems that more than a few of these offers are for video clubs - sort of comparable to places like Netflix and the like. There was even an offer to join one of Yahoo's sites but even for that free membership you have to give them a valid credit card number. Some of the offers even included signing up for getting a new credit card! Other offers include signing up for magazine and newspaper subscriptions.

The bottom line is that this particular site does not look too appealing! And now I'm still wondering if it is all worth it?

A Word Of Advice!

From what I have been reading online about doing paid surveys, one of the pieces of advice is to NOT pay to join!

So far all of the paid survey sites that I belong to, I haven't paid one single cent to join any of them!
