1. Sounded Great - Free 42" Plasma TV - I'm skeptical, but cautiously I wade in.
2. Started their process -seemed harmless -answered "No" regarding interest in various items, then arrived at a page that annnounced; "Congratulations. To qualify for the TV... Fully complete 3 of the sponser offers listed below" "TOP OFFERS PAGE 1 OF 3" - VERY MISLEADING - READ ON.
3. The next several"computer screen" pages listed multiple offerings from merchants, credit card companies, etc. I start to order some print cartridges from one site. They request Credit card information. So I get cautious and check out the Free deals on the complaint site. Some say its an obvious scam, others suggest that by persevering they got their free iPod, Game system or whatever. SCAM is correct - READ ON.
4. So I go back to the Online Reward Center site and go through the several "computer pages" of offers and find 3 that are semi-useful. I can do this I think. Now I've already purchased $70 of goods - but it will be worth it I think.
5. After successfully completing their requiremnent I continue of their next page - WHAM - Another Page, just page 2 ("TOP OFFERS PAGE 2 OF 3) in their clever numbering system. Now there are more offers (some repeats), and - now I need to do 6 more. Then a final "Page" ("TOP OFFERS PAGE 3 OF 3") where I must select 9 out of a measly 16 choices. TOTAL 18 needed, and many offerings preclude you from others. You can't really get 5 credit cards from CITI bank, even if they call them different things! BOTTOM LINE - I GOT SUCKERED INTO PURCHASING MANY ITEMS BEFORE LEARNING HOW IMPOSSIBLE THIS REALLY WAS - I really wasn't interested in getting 5 additional credit cards or male enhancement items. Rip off - stop as soon as you can in this process. This company gets commissions for all of it's sales - it created a process that's smart enought to sucker me in (giving them profits), but in the end not be able to complete to qualify for the reward.
