The Basic Rules

You will learn more about why these rules are necessary as you go, but for now just understand that in order for this all to work as it should without causing yourself any problems, you MUST follow these rules EVERY TIME and TO THE LETTER.

1. Always use your home computer, and always use the same one once you start completing offers.

2. Make sure you are not using a proxy. You can check here. If you see "This request appears NOT to have come via a proxy.", then you are all set.

3. Always use your real information(name, address, phone, etc.) when signing up for the freebie sites, AND when completing offers, and any other time you are asked for your information.

4. You must be 18 or older and reside in the US, Canada, or the UK.

5. You can only have ONE account per household per freebie site.

6. Use a regular Visa or Mastercard debit or credit card when completing offers. Prepaid cards are not allowed. Paypal debit cards are not allowed. The paypal plug-in is not allowed.

7. Do not try to cheat, scam, or do anything fraudulent or you will not get paid and you will cause yourself quite a bit of trouble.

8. Keep VERY detailed records of everything you do - every site you sign up for, every offer you sign up for, date and time you did it, name and contact info for the website, who you talk to on the phone and their customer service agent number, and anything else you do. A spreadsheet is best for this and I will try to offer one soon to my referrals, but for now, just keep track of every detail however works best for you.

9. Read the fine print. Always, always, always read the fine print. Always read the terms and conditions, always know what you're signing up(watch for piggyback offers - this is when you get signed up for an extra product/service automatically when you sign up for the first)

10. Take your time and be patient. You can make some money fast with freebie trading, but if you try to do too much too fast, you can get yourself in a real bind, so take your time and be patient.

11. Set up your computer properly. This is very important. Please see the section on how to do this(currently being updated, will be back online ASAP).

12. When you sign up to receive a service or product, actually try it, even if it means just browsing the website for a couple minutes or opening the package you ordered and giving the product a good once-over, etc.

13. Be cautious and responsible, but not afraid. Although occasionally, a company or website will try to screw you over and charge something they shouldn't to your card, 99 percent of the time everything is legitimate as long as you've read the fine print. However, if you do get charged something you shouldn't, be aware that there are many ways to get your money back, the easiest being to dispute a charge with your bank or credit card company. There's no need to be afraid of entering your credit card info to complete offers. It is ILLEGAL for a company to charge your card for something you have not authorized.

14. When you learn about crediting and offers, instant does not always mean instant, and free does not always mean free. As stated in rule 9, always read the fine print.
