The fun comes to an end
So after many free items from Gratis/Freepay, it looks like the ride is over. I received this email:
This email concerns an important change to the Terms & Conditions for [SiteAddress].You will find an indication of how many days you have left to complete the requirements on the Status page. When you have completed the requirements you will be able to download the redemption form from the Status page.
- With a start date of March 1, 2006 – users of FreePay websites have 90 days to complete all offer requirements.
- Upon completion of all offer requirements, existing users will need to print a "Redemption Form" that must be filled out in its entirety and mailed with a postmarked date no later than 30 days of completing their offer requirements.
To coincide with this change, look out for an update soon that will make it even easier to refer friends!
Best wishes
- The FreePay Team
On the surface, this seems like a bad move. I don't know many people that could complete the entire offer within 90 days. I think a better solution would be similar to what airlines use for FF miles. If no 'qualifying activity' in X number of days, then your account is closed. For example, if an account has not received any new referrals in 90 days, then axe it. Another option would be to allow transfers of credits between each of their sites, but I doubt that will ever happen. Oh well, hopefully a new reputable company will step in and fill the void.
