A Small but Useful Tip

Just a tip: I try to be very cautious when things say free this or that. I am sure all of you readers are as well. However, what I usually do to verify if it is a scam or not is check if other people had posted problems with the website or company. I will the following in the search engine box, like google.com, "free money from home, forum" and often times it will come up with people discussing it with either good or bad experiences. Hope this helps to serve a reminder or new advice. (more to come on how I saved myself a lot of money from being a victim of a scam!!)

(almost) Free trial....with benefits!

So on Jan 30, I signed myself up for a free trial of www.Travelersadvantage.com and www.greatfun.com just to get $20 worth of Exxon Mobile gas gift cards and $10 gift card at Circuit City just for paying $1 for the trial at Great Fun. Today I called to cancel so I wouldn't be assessed a fee at the end of the month. Well the lady at GreatFun offered me $40 worth of rebates (the explaination she gave me was that I spend a total of $40 at any place such as gas station or restaurant and turn the receipts in to them and I get money back for that as an incentive) so I figured I would feel it out once I got the rebate forms in the mail. Say I end up being assessed the monthly fee (I think 11.99) and I get $40 rebated that is about $28.01 in free money back to me. We'll see. Either way I have used my $20 in Exxon Mobile gas cards and it works great!!

Now, my only thing I will update is on whether I pay the $11.99 for the rebates. Gotta take some risks sometimes...
