Ciao

They claim to be a survey site. I don't really consider them that. They are a forum of sorts.

There is a lot of great information here. Products are reviewed by actual people, just like you. All you have to do is look for a product that you use and write your experiences with the product. You are paid by people reading and reviewing your experiences. This is great if you are interested in purchasing something. See what everyone else has to say about it first.

I have made 4 reviews so far and have earnings of .39 cents. I haven't been too active on Ciao. I think they may have some earning possibilities, I will try to devote a little more time to them.

Let me know what you think about them.

NeoBux

NeoBux
This is pretty much the average paid to click site. I just joined yesterday under another referrer as a trade for sign up on Ara-Bux as my referral. We will see if it was a good trade.

FreebieTreasure

They offer 5 different sites across their network.
Site is only a few months old. FreebieTreasure pays for each referral and is forever green. Excellent site.

FreebieTreasure-OneOffer
Cashed out for $20. They were very quick with payment, within an hour.

The other 4 FreebieTreasure sites pay $40 per referral.
FreebieTreasure-Gaming
FreebieTreasure-Apple
FreebieTreasure-Gifts
FreebieTreasure-Gadgets

PrizeOasis

PrizeOasis has 14 different sites that I am currently enrolled in.

So far only have cashed out on 1 of them.


100.PrizeOasis - Referrals must complete 2 credits worth of offers to be considered "green". My referral had a pain completing enough offers to become green. He had to submit MCR's for 2 of the offers. He was tired of waiting so he just completed another offer. That offer credited instantly. To reduce the risk of missing credits please make sure to clear your cookies and follow instructions for each chosen offer.

My referral signed up on Dec. 9th. He completed the credits required on Dec. 27. At 1:07pm I submitted my order for him. I had the $100 in my PayPal account by 1:14pm. They even included the PalPal fees of $3.30.

I definately recommend giving PrizeOasis a try.



I will add more on the rest as I gain experience with them.

Instant Cash Sweepstakes

InstantCashSweepstakes.Com Game Rules
Definitions

Play or playing is the act of answering questions by registered users.
Lottery Tickets are entries in the next upcoming lottery drawing.
Vested means that you have achieved ownership of the money in your registered InstantCashSweepstakes.Com account.
Non-vested means that InstantCashSweepstakes.Com and its parent company owns the money in your registered InstantCashSweepstakes.Com account.


No purchase is necessary.
Only users registered at InstantCashSweepstakes.Com can win.
All winners must be 18 years or older and must reside in the United States.
There are a limited number of plays allowed per player per 24 hour period.
A prize is awarded after completion of a set of questions when you click the "Show me my prize" button.
Most frequently the prize will be lottery tickets.
Occasionally the prize will be an amount of cash that will be credited to you account.
When cash is credited to you account, this cash is the property of InstantCashSweepstakes.Com and its parent company until your account becomes vested.
Whenever your account has $2.00 (two dollars or more USD) in it, the account is automatically vested and you are permitted to transfer your money to your personal PayPal account.
Transfer of funds to you via Paypal is the only mechanism by which you can collect your vested cash prize.
It is your responsibility to create a Paypal account at Payal.com and to upload the email address associated with that account into your InstantCashSweepstakes.Com profile. Your Paypal email address must be unique from all other members of Instant Cash Sweepstakes.
If you cancel your account at InstantCashSweepstakes.Com, all non-vested funds remain the property of InstantCashSweepstakes.Com and its parent company.
Whenever you transfer your money out of your InstantCashSweepstakes.Com account to your PayPal account, your InstantCashSweepstakes.Com account reverts to $0.00 and once again becomes non-vested until it rises to the $2.00 threshold.
InstantCashSweepstakes.Com also awards cash prizes by a lottery. These prizes are always larger than $2.00 and cause the winner's account to become immediately vested.
Lottery prizes are awarded to a winning lottery ticket. The odds of winning a lottery prize are random but in general, the more lottery tickets you currently have, the more you play and the more friends you have invited to join InstantCashSweepstakes.Com who also are playing, the greater your chances of winning.
Only a single inviting friend can be linked to a member. If two members invite the same new player by an invitation link, invitation widget or other mechanism... the fist inviting friend to be linked to that new member "owns" the new member and any other inviting friends are locked out from a matching relationship with the new member.
Your number of lottery tickets is reset to zero after each lottery drawing and you must rebuild your number of tickets before the next drawing in order to have a chance and increase your odds of winning.
Whenever a friend that you have invited to InstantCashSweepstakes.Com wins tickets, cash prizes and lottery drawing, InstantCashSweepstakes.Com matches that win and gives you the same prize. Thus, players who have a lot of invited friends playing greatly increase their odds of winning.
It is forbidden tor players to possess more than one InstantCashSweepstakes.Com account. Opening more than one account can disqualify your wins. InstantCashSweepstakes.Com does watch IP addresses and other clues that a player may be trying to "game" the system by opening multiple accounts.
By playing you agree to accept these rules. You accept that all decisions by InstantCashSweepstakes.Com are final and non-appealable.
InstantCashSweepstakes.Com may update and change these rules from time to time.
InstantCashSweepstakes.Com may cancel the game at any time. In that event, the contents of all users accounts automatically become non-vested, regardless of their contents and become the sole property of InstantCashSweepstakes.Com.

12-24
Joined this site on 12-11. I did not return to this site till 12-22. Since then I have completed many short little surveys. They are 3 questions long and have no right or wrong answers. For each set of questions you can win either cash or tickets into the weekly drawing. The last 2 days I have earned 50 cents and 390 tickets. I need to earn $2 before I become vested and can cash out.

For now I am going to continue with them. I will keep you updated. Hopefully I can get lucky and win the weekly drawing.

The Freebie Exchange

The Freebie Exchange(TFX) is a newer freebie trading forum. They have so much great information for those just beginning to trade.

Does not cost anything to join!

Your 2 Cents

Your 2 Cents
Survey site to earn extra cash. So far I have earned $4. I have just begun doing surveys with them. Check them out.

YourHugeRewards

YourHugeRewards- So far has been a very good site. They credit and pay quickly.

FreeThirty

FreeThirty- Forever green and repeatable. You can place as many orders as you want as long as you have the required referrals. After each order they give you a free green.

Easy.FreeThirty- Pretty much the same as FreeThirty except offers are worth more.

DollarDeal Network

DollarDeal Network- U.S. and Canada Only
Forever green and repeatable

DollarDealCash- 1 referral cash-out for $60
DollarDealHalfCash- 1 referral cash-out for $30
DollarDealLaptops- 1 referral cash-out for $40
DollarDealTVs- 1 referral cash-out for $80

My360Elite4Free

My360Elite4Free- This is a one time site, meaning you can only order 1 prize. I was scammed on this site. My referrer went green for me, then I went ahead with my offer. Still waiting on the credit though. But the next day I received a email from my site saying he was on hold for "offer fraud." Now he won't reply to any moderators. He vanished!

I sent My360Elite4Free a support ticket asking to be removed from his account. They were very thankful for the notice of the scammer and they will put me under another referrer as soon as I green. So it is not a complete lose.

Bonus Network

Bonus Network- This network is a little different in the fact that they are repeatable, but they are not forever green. This means that after every order you place you will either need to complete an offer again or have an extra referral.

BonusWii-

Zero Cost Freebies

Gifts.ZeroCostFreebies- This is a new site, so not much is known at this time. So far it seems to be a reputable company. It is 1 referral cash-out. 1 referral is worth $40 or you may go for a prize.

This is the prize screen for Gifts.

Both sites have over 65 offers to choose from.

Apple.ZeroCostFreebies- Also not too much known. It is a 1 referral cash out of $40 or you can order IPods.

Trainn

Trainn
If you have had any dealings with TraInn before please let me know what you think about my TraInn issues.

Blazing Freebies

Blazing Freebies- Freebie Forum. It is new forum that is free to join and does not have any posting requirements. Forum only has 60 members so far. I have noticed that the popularity of Blazing Freebies is increasing. You don't make anything from this site per say. You can set up trades with other freebie traders. It is set up nicely and very easy to navigate.

If you are interested in joining please put my username in the referred by box. My username is missy4499. Here is what Blazing Freebies looks like.

LinkReferral

LinkReferral- Joined Oct. 25th. This is a traffic exchange site. I wasn't too sure to begin with, but now I think it is an ok site.

For all of November I received an average of 1.89 hits per day.

I have recently started working on my ratings there.

Ratings are determined by a few factors:

• Logging in everyday
• Visiting other members' sites
• Reviewing other members' sites
• Posting in the forum
• Picking a favorite site

They do grade your review from A-F, which also factors into the ratings.

Now I am receiving just about 11 hits per day. I know what your thinking, big whoop 11 hits. But hey it is a start and 11 hits is 11 hits.

12/15 Status update:


Average page hits/day from LinkReferral.com (since registration): 5.10 per day
Average page hits/day from LinkReferral.com (this month): 14.73 per day

Star Referrals

StarReferrals- Joined Oct. 25th. I paid $2.50 for an upgrade on my account and $5 for some "stars". They are what is used to purchase referrals.

I don't like this site at all. The forum is very confusing, and I consider myself very computer literate. I should have checked it out a little better before joining.

I have tried to gain referrals for 3 different sites already on there and I offered the max amount of stars and still NOTHING.

IMO a complete waste!

Buxout

PTC site- I signed up on 11-29, and so far everyday there has only been 4 ads to view. For a whopping total of .4 cents a day! There is some proof in the forum of payouts, but you need to upgrade to premium to receive payout. First payout min. is $5, 2nd min. is $7, then every payout after that is $10. This could take a long time.
So Far I have earned:



Definately not going to get rich off of this one!

Look at this! Good thing I didn't waste too much time on them.

FreeLunchRoom

FreeLunchRoom- Better known as FLR. This site has been around for awhile. Way too crowded for me. There are thousands of people looking for trades there. IMO this is not that great of a site. Everytime someone posts that they can "green", their entire thread is filled instantly with a bunch of automated responses to contact traders.

It is very impersonal. If I were to "green" for someone there, I would not pick one of the automated responses. It is actually kind of creepy, when you log in and every thread has your name in it.

This site is no better than any other. I completed 2 trades and waiting for another to green for me. One of my completed trades went "red" on me for offer fraud! I tried to send a PM, but they already had him banned from the site. A scammer thread with this persons name was also started, but they closed it because of the banning. I would have liked to post in that thread.

So if you can't tell, I am not to fond of this site. Sort of last resort.

Freebie Society

Freebie Society- Trading forum. Not too much action here, but I do like this site. Only completed one G4G, but went well. I was scammed here too. This time is was cash though. They were excellent about banning him.

Newbies beware of everyone you are trading with. It does not matter what their TR is. Make sure to check everyones comments. People can be very ruthless.

Calistyle 101

Calistyle 101- Another freebie referral trading forum. Not quite as popular yet as A4F(Anything4Free) or FLR (FreeLunchRoom) Nice site though.

Right now I am working on two trades at the site. I was also scammed by someone there. They were really quick at banning them, but not much can be done to get my "green" referral back.

Anything4Free

Anything4Free - my favorite one. I have a TR 0f 10 here. TR means trader rating. You start a trade thread on the forum with the sites you are interested in paying someone to "green" for you or G4G which is trading green for green. Meaning you green for them and they green for you. Lowest TR goes first.

TitanClicks

TitanClicks - Paid to Click Site - not too sure yet. Get paid 1 cent for every referral click also. Seems like a very good site.

12-2 Update...I don't think I like this one. So far I have clicked everyday since joining. Which has been 15 ads. The ads are a pain too. All I have earned was .0590. Almost 6 cents. Seems like a waste too me. To upgrade it is $30 a year or $75 a lifetime. I am going to hold off on that for now. The benefits of upgrading don't seem to make up for the cost.



12-4 update....I know I don't like this site. I have a total of 19 clicked ads worth .0759. It took me that many days going back and clicking every day all my available links to earn 7 1/2 cents!

12-6 Update

Ara-Bux

Paid to Click Site - Joined 11/27 so far I have $1.19, not too bad for 2 days already. Ara-Bux rents referrals, if they are inactive they will replace with active referrals. I haven't tried renting them yet.

12/8 Update: So far total is $1.46.

12/13 Now $1.83, slow but steady

12/27 Total= $1.87 Would have been 50 cents more, but I traded 50 cents in for lottery tickets. I didn't get anything from them :(



12/31 I now have $2.145. I have 1 referral too! I traded for referral on NeoBux. Can't wait to see what is going to happen with this.

1/6 I am now up to $2.8775.

SwagBucks

SwagBucks - Search and Win site. Not too sure about this yet. Alot of people claim it is a good site. I have been doing for 2 days so far and I have only 5 SwagBucks. SwagBucks can buy prizes from the SwagStore.

12-1 I won 2 SwagBucks....Lucky me
New Total= 7 SwagBucks





12-4 Whooo!!! Another SwagBuck for a total of 8

This is going to take forever. Just to get the lowest prize that I would even use would be the $5 for subway....it is 99 SwagBucks! I think my time is worth more that.

I think I will finish the week off and see if win any. Never know my luck might turn around. If nothing I think I will call this one a Dud!

If I didn't have bad luck I would have no luck at all.

12-6 Yeah!!! 1 more= 9 SwagBucks!
One more day left to impress me.

12-8 Alright, almost ready to write this one off. After almost 2 weeks I have 12 SwagBucks.

12-24 I've been using them for a couple searches per day. I am up to 29 Swagbucks.

EasyHits4u

EasyHits4u - Rated #1 this month in traffic exchange sites. Surf sites to earn banner impressions or website visits.



I am not too sure how well this one works. I have been doing this site since the end of October. I check my site stats on Easyhits4u and they are going up quite a bit. However, I haven't really noticed the extra hits. I do like the site, it is very user friendly. So I will give them a bit longer to see if I see results.


12-24
So far I haven't noticed any extra traffic, but I have earned .60 cents. I can either trade this in for a few days of premium membership status or credits. I think I am going to hold on to it for just a little bit longer.

TrafficSpeedway

TrafficSpeedway - Traffic exchange site. Quick 10 second timer. New site with only few members already. Top surfers for the day receive 5% of the amount of hits below them.

RefStop

RefStop - Referral site haven't had much luck on this one so far. Scammed once and another trader never confirmed.

12/27- Yeah! I had a received a good trade from them. I was to complete yourps34free.com for a member and they were to complete 100.prizeoasis for me. It took them awhile to green, but overall a good trade.

GetRef

GetRef - Good site to get referrals for any of your programs.
Have used since 10/25. I purchased gold membership $4.99 for 1 month. You can either purchase credits or earn them by joining or clicking other programs. I purchased 50 credits for $10. With gold membership you also receive random referrals. So far I think I have got my money back from this site. I have received 15 random referrals, traded 50 credits for a "green" on cashrewards.git-r-free which I cashed out for $40.

Trainn

Transcendent Innovations known as Trainn

Alot of people like this network, I don't really care for it. They take forever for support. At least 3 days for a reply. I also have problems with offers crediting, even the instant ones. I also follow all the greening tips.

Trainn sites have 2 different methods to receive gifts/cash. They are points and referrals. If you choose to seek referrals for you account you are allowed to order one gift/cash. After that you can change your account type once to points. With a points account you can order multiple times, but YOU need to complete the offers for points.

Once you have required amount for your order, you submit for approval. That takes at least 3 days. That is when they become more of a pain. They disqualify many of your referrals at that point. No personal experience with that yet. According to long time traders, they "red" usually at least half of your referrals for some type of fraud. Then you are back at square one.

YourIpodTouch4Free -

360Elite4Free- This one my referrer scammed me on my green, we traded green for green. Well she never completed and was banned from the forum. Trainn will not move you from one referrer to another, but the can make you unreferred. I went ahead with that because I did not want this scammer receiving any credit from me.


YourIPodNano4Free


FlashIpods4Free - This banner should keep my status updated. I am still waiting for 2 referrals to go green. I just want to get this completed, so I can forget about it.



Trainn does have a nice referral banner though.



These 2 I am having crediting issues. If you notice it says offer not completed.

****Update**12/19
I received my credit on yourfreeiphone.


YourFreeIphone - I actually am beginning to question the creditability of TraInn. I am having problems with Yourfreeipone offers crediting. I had submitted a MCR which is a "manual credit request" on 11/12.


TraInn seems to be the only site that I am having crediting issues with.

My question is, "How do I know that they didn't receive credit for me?" I don't, for all I know is they did and are just denying it because they can!

They have to make $ somehow. Why not take it from customers? There is no way for anyone to find out, unless the customer has someone on the inside.

Anyone else have crediting issues with TraInn? If so, I would really be interested in hearing about them. Please comment on here.

Below are my support tickets with TraInn:

This is their reply to my question from 11/24 on how long does a MCR take?

11/26
Most missing credit requests are resolved within 10 business days (2 full weeks) of being filed.

Unfortunately, though, we were unable to obtain approval for your request as you previously registered for the offer. Credit is only provided to us, and in-turn you, for the first the a user registers for the offer. As such, as we will not receive credit for the sign-up, we are unable to provide credit to you.

I don't know who lied to you, but I have NEVER been to that site before. Let alone done their offer!


Submitted at 23:20:17 on 2008-11-27

When filing the request, you selected -Yes- for the question asking -Have you ever used their service before?-.


Submitted at 17:32:39 on 2008-12-03

Well I didn't mean to If I did, it would have just been by accident if I left that circle on yes. I have never done it before.

It does say on my terms and conditions from hoodiacore that if you have previously tried the offer you can not and will be charged full price. I do know that each offer can only be completed once. Why would I try Hoodiacore again and risk being charged $38.95? How do I know that you guys didn't receive the credit for this? I have my paperwork that says I was a first time customer.

So was this not even looked into because I didn't check no, the default circle is on yes. I am sure I am not the first one to do this.

Sorry if I am being rude, I am just so fustrated with your company. Your company is the only company that I have crediting problems with. I have followed all the crediting procedures to a T. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. I have 2 other sites from your company that I am waiting on too.

I don't have a proxy, I don't have multiple addresses, ip addresses, cc #'s, I clear my cookies and I know that I have not completed any offer more than once. I could see if I have been doing freebie incentive sites for a long time. I just started at the end of october. I have never even been to any freebie site before then. please help me.

I know that I DID NOT check "yes" to completing it before. I will keep you updated on what their reply is.

Again, If you have issues with them please comment.

As we do not have access to the account with the advertiser, the only information that we have about the sign-up is that which you have provided to us. As you left the box checked yes, it was assumed that the information you entered was accurate, just as it would have had you checked no.

As multiple sign-ups for the same offer are not allowed, nor any credit provided for them, the matter could not be, and was not, pursued.

If we had received credit for the offer, it would have been credited to your account as all sign-ups have been since we opened our sites four years ago.

Further, the crediting problems would not be due to registering for the offers on our site or any inaction on our part. You would have experienced the same issues if you attempted to register for the same offer(s) on any site as the tracking of a sign-up is based on your computer settings and the advertisers tracking system.

As you claim to be experiencing problems with multiple offers, we would advise you to take the following action to ensure proper tracking.

- Doing a thorough cleaning of Adware infested programs or toolbars. This
type of software can highjack our tracking and will instead provides credit
to the developer (with no reward to yourself).
- Ensuring cookies are enabled
- Clearing your existing cookies
- Disabling any popup blockers/internet security programs running in the
background

Upon following these guidelines, your success rate of receiving credit for your offer completions should be substantially greater and essentially trouble free.

As you claim you have not registered for the offer in the past, we will forward the information to the advertiser to investigate. Upon hearing back on it, we will update the request status accordingly.

Well almost 1 month since I sent MCR. I submitted it on 11/12.
I guess this was pretty much a waste. I do all of the above procedures. It is also ONLY TRAINN sites that I have issues. I go into my cookies and delete them all, then I keep them open as I sign into site and complete the offer. This way I can make sure the cookie is in place.

I still think they may be full of it! How would the average person know if they were lying about crediting or not? The only way would be to get records of the credits trainn received.

***Update*** 12/19 Received Credit

DollarDeal

DollarDeal Network sites are fully repeatable and forever green. This means you can place as many orders as you would like without completing more offers.

These sites are open to users of United States and Canada. One thing that makes this site a little different is that if the user referring you does not complete their end of the bargin, they will try to take necessary measures to complete the referring users end. Also under certain circumstances if you are not credited yet for your offer they may transfer your account to another referrer.


DollarDealCash
DollarDealHalfCash
DollarDealLapTops
DollarDealTv's
