All the decent deals are gone or disappearing quickly. This is why I called it a pain in the ass and why I don't recommend this. The more legitimate offers have disappeared, the requirements on the ones left are much higher and you seemingly have to fight to get the points you legitimately earned. They owe me 1400 points for something and will not return emails or acknowledge the issue.

It's getting shadier by the day, be careful.

For anybody that wants a free temporary email address you can use try Mailinator. No SPAM will ever come your way and it only takes a few seconds to check it. I use it all of the time for things you can't get by on that need an email address and/or won't take something like Yahoo or Hotmail. I've yet to encounter a problem.

You don't register or anything. Just put in your made up address like fake@mailinator.com and check the site.

Anyone have disputes with the Credit Card companies over getting charged after cancelling?

That is too funny, you can check anyone's email if you know the username

All clear so far, but I used a webcertificate on all the offers which only was loaded with a few dollars on it.

The AOL Cancellations wasn't annoying at all. Took about 3 minutes over the phone. Told him I was going overseas for 2 months, and that was that.

Now it is almost impossible as there are few high points/low cost offers, but only a few weeks again there were a ton of high point/low cost offers.

Impossible? Why? I already have around 10k now... I will order everything at once after I come back from xmas break.. I may try ordering a PS2 and a GBA together if they let me.. then I can sell GBA I still want my $5 back that I spent on that crappy info thing.. I refered around 100 people so far (not my own account, real people).. got 1k form there already ...

BTW, one more time, please stop PMing me.. people got to start reading the rest of the thread before PMing me

Man.. all this for a PS2. Do I really need another one? Maybe I can give it as a X-mas present and make some kid happy as a clam. Takes about 2-3 hours of my time that can be better used to download crap from the internet.

Paid $12 so far & got 300 points x10 so I didnt get points for 2 things. I have 3000 points right now. Will cancel all services after 10 days.

Edit: Did NOT get points from Simple Escapes, & 24Protect Plus.
