Truly free?
Free sample! Free video game system! Free credit line! Free this! Free that!
How many of these offers are truly free? I know from personal experience that many of these offers are on an ‘if’ basis. Most ask you to complete such and offer, then another, then another, etc., etc., until you’ve spent so much time and money on the offers that ‘free’ gift costs more than it would have had you just gone to the store and bought it yourself.
Then we’ve got the survey ones. These really aren’t that bad as lo0ng as you have the time to fill out the survey, but don’t forget to uncheck the box giving them permission to share your information with other advertisers and offers. Unless, of course, you want them too 
Free credit line is the one that gets me to laughing the most! It should be called free debt line :S These offers have insane APR%, annual fees, membership fees, one-time startup fees, fees, fees, and more fees! By the time you get your card it’s already maxed out! And the best part? Some aren’t even a major credit card. Many require that you shop with them strictly from their catalogs. They’re not all like this, but be sure to read the fine print!
A few good free sites?
- http://startsampling.com is a personal favorite of mine.
- Walmart.com – Free Samples … yes, Walmart gives free samples and good ones too!
- http://www.FreebieHunters.info Great forum site!
If you know of anymore, I’d love to hear about them!
Happy freebie-ing!
