I just got free SUSE 9.1 Professional from a free gift site called "everyfreegift.com". I had to join blocbuster for 1 month which cost 9.99( they gave me 5.00 back though), and i had to buy a coupon book for 14.99. Thats 20.00 for a SUSE 9.1 -is that agood deal? Plus i get to use the coupons to eat out and also watch some movies. ONE QUESTION: has anyone ever recieved a big ticket item like a LAAPTOP from one of these FREE GIFT sites? If your in the market for some of the products anyway, than how about it, or is it too far fetched? THANX

...Can't you get linux for free? and SUSE 9.3 is out now. That's a pretty bad deal.

It does look like the Pro version is pretty much the free download just in a retail box with printed manuals and 60 days of tech support.

IMO you got ripped off. You are happy to spend $20 on a piece of crap distro when there are much betters ones completely free?

If its too good to be true, it probably is. Sites like that don't pop up to give free stuff, they are there to take money and scam.

". . .they are there to take money and scam."
And to spam the living daylights out of you and sell your e-mail to every scum-bag list on the net...

i wouldnt go so far as to call it a piece of crap distro, it actually gets a lot more use in europe than hear because of its development roots.

I used it after redhat 5 back in the day, and found it comparable in packages, stability and tools. especially YaST.

I'm working on a $1000 Visa cash card from this site. We'll see how it goes. It does take a long time to go through all the steps. I've completed my 6 offers, and mailed in my certificates confirming that I completed them. Basically once you complete the offers it takes 6 weeks to be able to download the certificates. Once you mail them in it takes 8 weeks for them to process them, and place your order. Then it can take up to another 6-8 weeks for them to ship it out. So I'm probably about 1/2 to 2/3 way through the process.

The keys to your best chance at success are to keep track of your offers and make sure you don't forget to cancel any "free trial" offers, and to keep track of when you completed your required number of offers. Many times they will not update your status unless you email their cust service to "remind" them that it has been 6 weeks since you completed your offers, etc. I put all this stuff in my PDA calender and it works out pretty good. Also, as aluded to above, use an alternate email address with decent spam filtering (gmail has worked well for me).

The company that runs everyfreegift.com (yf-direct) also has (at least) 2 other sites, anyfreegift.com and offergift.com which offer some smaller products for completing 2 offers (including xbox ps2, ipod mini).

The cash card is nice, maybe even better than Laptop. Think I might try after NOv. when I get a little money.I'm just worried i used up two easy offers, but i guess i can get another coupon book from a different city, and sell er on e-bay, or reapply for blockbuster after i cancel my free trial.

I did get a free iPod from those guys. There was a good site out there that gave me step by step instructions on how to make it work without having to spend a dime. I'm not sure if I can post the site here or not because I think the site has referral links on it. So, if you want, PM me and I'll send you a link.

I guess your time isn't worth anything then.

Well, it didn't take more than 15-20 minutes.

This is probably in the wrong forum by the way.

I got $1000 in Best Buy cards from exclusiverewards.com and only ended up costing me $26.85 in the end.

Whee!

I'm currently working on a free iBook from EveryFreeGift after seeing someone who actually got one. So far, I've spent around $60 on offers, with an estimated $30 more to go. Considering I'm getting some other stuff out of the deal (CDs from BMG, Entertainment Book, Blockbuster rentals), I think it'll be worth the time investment for a $1000 laptop.

Not sure where to post this, maybe OT, but I'll just try here.

Anyone know much about the site giftapolis.com ?

I don't even see them listed at reseller ratings and I'm wondering if anyone has an opinion about them good or bad.
