Has anyone ever tried online offers?

You know how you see those pop-ups saying you can earn a $500 giftcard to somewhere? You have to jump through hopes to get it, but I have heard if you follow the directions closely then you will actually get your giftcard. Has anyone done it? what is your experience? I am in the middle of doing it and wondered if anyone else had experience with it.

I never have and never will. You will get tons of spam which is what pop-ups are. Good luck.

I tried once and it was a nightmare, absolute time nightmare on the computer answering tons and tons and tons of stupid offers...LOL

I also got tons of junk and spam mail.

So I attempted it, hated it and would never ever do it again!

best of luck to you and let us know if you really, truly, actually, get a real gift card.

Nope.......won't be doing that.

They ask too much info for my taste and then comes the spam.

I am following a tutorial at Money Saving Methods and I set up a new email account just for this deal. So I don't have to deal with the spam in my regular email account. I know of people that make thousands a year doing these, and we are really trying to stretch our income farther so I thought it was worth a shot, once. LOL It is a pain, so I don't know if I will do it again, but I hope to get the giftcard one time.

I tried it a couple of times and they ask 100's of questions all the while infecting your computer w/ viruses and gleaning as much personal info thru cookies as possible. i would have to have a seperate computer and a fake address and then isn't that fraud?? Maybe a person more clever that I could make out but not me. Nothing is for free.
