I heard about a marketing trial on the radio, where companies give $1,000 to consumers to spend from a gift card and they study what the consumer purchased. I called the number and was asked a few basic questions and told I qualified. As an added benefit, I would get a 30-day free trial offer from freeshipping.com. If I didn't want to use it, w/i 30 days, I could call them and cancel. Free shipping would also provide a $15 rebate. I called free shipping to cancel w/i the 30 days, but they said that they would not provide the rebate unless I made a purchase thru freeshipping.com's website (which I was not informed of when I made signed up to receive the $1,000 giftcard). I did not intend to spend money on a purchase thru their website and wanted to cancel the membership, which they did, but I did not receive a rebate. When I received my "$1,000 gift card", I was VERY unhappy having been scammed into being given access to a coupon site where I can download coupons onto a card.
