If you don’t know about Freepay (previously called Gratis), they’ve been around for a couple years now. They are a company who rewards its members by giving them free items after certain conditions are met. What are those conditions?

First off, you need to sign up for an account before you can do anything. Then depending on the free site (ex: Free Digital Camera, Free iPod, Free Flat Screen, etc.) you have a certain amount of referrals you need to get and have them signup for an offer also. But I’m getting ahead of myself. After you sign up with your real information (or else they don’t know who to send the items to) you have to verify your email address. THIS IS IMPORTANT! Do this before you do anything else and if the email doesn’t come, click on the account button and send yourself another by click the resend email button.

OK, now you’ve verified your account and you’re ready to choose an offer. While there are many offers that are cheap, there are some that are FREE. Yes, free. I would suggest going to RateTheOffers.com and look at what others have to say about the offers. What I normally do is look for a free one (Real has some good free offers, some of which I actually use the product or service). Then I make sure that if I do not want to continue using the product or service for the regular fee, I call and cancel (I suggest making a note of it and to keep any correspondence or email you’ve received from them). If you are wanting to cancel, be persistent when calling to cancel.

So now you’ve received credit for an offer (gone green). The next step is asking friends, family, or anyone interested (like I am trying). Once someone signs up under your referral link, you will see them under your account as a yellow. Once they’ve complete an offer, you’ll get your green and be on your way. Then once you’ve complete the set amount of referrals, you click the link to process your account. If you are curious how many referrals are needed for what site, go to RateTheOffers.com again where they have discussions on the sites also.

Some notes you should know: 1) You can only sign up for a site once, so if you’re interested, try to sign up under someone you know. 2) If you try and cheat the system and signup for multiple accounts, they check things very thoroughly. 3) Any offer you sign up for requires a credit card (most of these companies are big names, like real.com or BlockBuster, so they’re not stealing your credit card information).

As for me, I’ve received an iPod Shuffle 1GB, a Microsoft Xbox, and an iPod Video 30GB. Right now, I am working on my Nikon CoolPix 7900. But if you sign up under my link there, you have your choice of a few other different cameras, and even a digital video recorder.
