So, it was supposed to have been delivered in 6 to 8 weeks, but ended up being delivered 10.5 weeks later. I received my card on 1/12/10. So, Bethany, hold tight! The Twilight t-shirts that accompanied the gift card were on back order, and that's the reason our order was late. I too was very antsy, but was glad when it came! Customer service responded to my emails very swiftly, so I don't know why they didn't answer you! But, that is why there was the delay, so I hope that helped you!

Some will and some won't.<br /><br />You need to see if it says one per household or one per person.<br /><br />Based on that, you can then determine if it will allow you to do it.<br /><br />If you can't find anything in each specific terms, then usually it won't let the order go thru if they won't allow it. It will then say someone in your house already signed up.<br /><br />Just remember, your husband may need to be the one then to take care of phone calling, etc since his name will be on the account. My husband also has do go sign and get notorized ( for companies that require that ). So, just make sure they are up for the work. :)Carrie @ Moneysavingmethods.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03180111156666321863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6220049951646758125.post-41465741539391526792010-01-09T00:12:05.991-05:002010-01-09T00:12:05.991-05:00Almost all companies are one per site per househol...Almost all companies are one per site per household.<br /><br />That means whatever the site is, myrewardvault.com for example, can only be done once. So, if that site offers multiple gifts...a free computer...free gift cards...free iPod, etc you need to pick only ONE gift and do that site. You can do that site again, even for another gift.<br /><br />Now, their site seems to be saying you can do their site again, but you must wait a year. That is a nice change. Although, a year from now the terms could be changed again. :)Carrie @ Moneysavingmethods.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03180111156666321863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6220049951646758125.post-42214301544053890852010-01-09T00:09:28.589-05:002010-01-09T00:09:28.589-05:00Elise,

It takes moments.<br /><br />They always seem good about responding when someone files a complaint. <br /><br />But, make copies of everything. Even your approval page showing you have been waiting since October.<br /><br />I would send them one more VERY nice letter explaining you haven't heard back and will be filing a complaint with the BBB if you don't receive a response, because you just don't what else to do.

Unless it is just a killer deal.<br /><br />They can value those gifts within a range and you have to pay taxes on whatever they decide it's worth. <br /><br />In addition, if it comes and is damamged you would have to go thru the hassle to get it fixed.<br /><br />Personally, I always recommend getting gift cards or checks and go buy exactly what you want instead.<br /><br />I have heard of others selling the products, though.Carrie @ Moneysavingmethods.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03180111156666321863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6220049951646758125.post-77599320784254493092010-01-09T00:01:40.761-05:002010-01-09T00:01:40.761-05:00Cheryl,

If you don't see it, you should be OK.<br /><br />But, you are right. Nuitech has changed their terms to 6 days recently. <br /><br />You just need to keep records of everything with Nuitech because they do ask you to prove that you were a member past the 6 days. So, keep records of payments, etc. If you do decide a product is not for you, make sure to get a confirmation email or cancellation number.<br /><br />If you decide to keep a product, they make sure you record the next payment, etc.Carrie @ Moneysavingmethods.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03180111156666321863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6220049951646758125.post-20907181813135115652010-01-08T23:58:24.688-05:002010-01-08T23:58:24.688-05:00Emily

Which is actually better than before. If you read the terms for different websites, you will see the name is different. For example, where yours says Net Radiance, the site I am reading ( for the $1,500 Costco card ) is actually called Reliant. <br /><br />So, my thoughts are, if the name in that section is different, it is a new sub company you can do that year. <br /><br />Let me know if you think different. I could be reading it wrong.Carrie @ Moneysavingmethods.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03180111156666321863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6220049951646758125.post-81088024769612021112010-01-08T14:46:19.792-05:002010-01-08T14:46:19.792-05:00Carrie, I am so excited to see you can do offers w...Carrie, I am so excited to see you can do offers with your husband. I was going to have him do the 1500 Costco one. Can you tell me do most companies/offers allow you to have a different person and credit card number but the same address and stull give credit. Do you know any that have not given you credit for them?Does it say anywhere in the terms and conditions about same address? I am running out of offers on Nuitech but I was seeing if my husband could do the sames ones on Nuitech.

I keep checking my status in the site, and it still says approved, and I tried emailing them, but have received no response yet. Since this is my first online offer ever, I am very anxious that it is going to pull through.

It only requires 10 offers and that laptop retails for $949 on Dell's website. Does anyone know what the "value" of that gift would be? I wonder if I might have the option to choose a check instead and, if so, how much it would be for. Also, does anyone have any experience with doing online offers for ipods, computers, etc. and then selling those items? I really need a new laptop, but I'd rather sell the dell and use the profit to buy a more modest computer. Any thoughts? And thanks again, Carrie, I love these posts!megs92https://www.blogger.com/profile/02445533811690208486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6220049951646758125.post-59291413052199050582010-01-08T07:01:23.677-05:002010-01-08T07:01:23.677-05:00Ok, Carrie, I've been following your blog this...Ok, Carrie, I've been following your blog this past year and am very impressed with your methods. This year I plan to take the plunge into the "Online offers" but I don't mind telling you I'm very nervous. I checked the Nuitech offer that you said you were going to start with. Here's what I'm seeing, please tell me if I've missed anything. Some of the offers have as little as an 8 day trial period, but reading the info for Nuitech, it looks like I just can't cancel before 6 days. So my thought is, if it's not something I want to keep, I'll have all the information ready to call on the 7th day to cancel. You indicated in your Nuitech Instructions, that "Some companies require you to remain a member past the trial periods to get your credit". I assume you are referring to the offers. Would that be in their "terms of service"? Where would I find that? I didn't find any that said that so far. I really can't afford to put out a lot of extra money, so I'm trying hard to be aware of everything. Thanks for your help.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14592382545191481311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6220049951646758125.post-85011450709359447042010-01-08T06:00:45.036-05:002010-01-08T06:00:45.036-05:00Hi Carrie,

I completed my offers and received a $500 gift card in August. I held onto the card and didn't spend it until Christmas shopping in Dec. It was so fun to have extra money to buy gifts for my 5 children and hubby. Money has been tight this year, so the gift card was the extra "fun money" to spend!
