Requires completion of “fifteen offers” “some of which” require a payment.

There’s a zillion of these offers on the web. Free HomeDepot gift card, free restaurant card, etc. Problem is they’re as far from free as Mars. You always have to complete a slew of “sponsor offers,” most of which are overpriced useless stuff. Delete these “offers” as fast as you see them.

Problem is that you get sucked in if you investigate. Some of the early “offers” require no money. For example, you can start out with a simple marketing survey. Answer a few of those and you’re then asked to apply for a credit card or two or three. Fulfill those and the requirements get steeper. Before you get the $1200 rebate from your 15 offers, you’ll have committed yourself to paying more than that in fees of various sorts. If you stop without completing all 15 steps, YOU get nothing–but the firm gets commissions on your surveys, your credit card applications, and whatever you paid before you decided to give up. Often you can’t even get details of that $1200 offer until you’ve completed everything…and then there’s a catch…but it’s too late.

Whenever I see one of these too good to be true “offers,” I click on the terms and conditions. If they say completion of sponsor offers required - and they almost always do - I simply delete the email.
