This is in response to John's complaints about the company. I am sure he is correct that it is a ripoff but they do disclose. At the bottom of the form is verbiage stating that you must complete at least 2 Silver, 2 Gold and 2 Platinum offers. A link to their Terms and Conditions provides more info. The link below needs to all be on one line. According to them, an "Offer" is: "Examples of Sponsor Offers include, without limitation, trial offers, credit cards, product offers, service offers and other low-cost or commercial Offers. Some Offers require a purchase to be made, while others are free trials that convert to paying obligations if not canceled or free applications that do not require an initial purchase."

From looking it all over, it seems that getting the free gift might be more work than it's worth but I don't suppose it's reasonable to expect to get something for nothing.
