So I went through he free Zen list that has allegedly been vetted for scams etc. There's one for athelets to sign up on. I play a lot of sports so I figure what the heck. The reward is only 28 zen, not a lot, but something that might interest me. So I sign up and nowhere does it mention PWI at all. NO WHERE!!! Instead I click through screen after screen of annoying **** and now they have an email address of mine (albeit a throw away for just such an occasion).

So what's this about PWI? Are these all scams so you make money on our personal information for these sites, but we get nothing except spam? Well done protecting your clients you shills.

Signed,

A very pissed off cash using customer that might not charge their zen any time soon for trying to scam us.

Of course I'm sure this will be locked though so no one else reads it or must fall under the master thread........so in b4 the lock.......garbage

    Actually, these are very elaborate ads. PWE is using them to generate some extra ad revenue by putting these up, and giving us some incentive to check the businesses out. In exchange, for drumming up extra business, these companies pay PWE a fee for putting these offers up. That being the case, these free zen offers are listed with other companies that have no affiliation with PWE other than this offer. So it would be more surprising to find out that one of them did have something to do with PWI other than the free zen, then finding out they have nothing to do with the game.

    Rather I know they have nothing to do with PWI itself and I know that PWI collects advertising revenues as a result of using them. What I mean is that no where during the process does it mention any "Free Zen" or "Free stuff at PWI" offer. No where. So the trade of was I look at their site, sign up and I get free zen. I did my part, but there is no effort on the other end to compensate me for doing so as promised. PWI supposedly checked all these sites out to make sure they are legitimate and will give what they say. Obviously they didn't do a very good job.

    Have you checked the "My Wallet" section of the website. (https://billing.perfectworld.com/wallet). I haven't used these offers, but the zen should theoretically show up here. Or maybe it just takes awhile for the offer to take effect.

    I did it a while ago, and still hasn't shown up in game, or in the wallet.

    I checked out this so called way to get "free" zen..I saw right away it was an attempt to get u to sign up with unknown companies an give them all sorts of personal information that is later,with out your knowledge but with your consent by agreeing to the TOS of the offer, sold to even more businesses who then spam your inbox and your at home mailbox with all sorts of stupid ****... The whole time u are filtering thru your e-mail and mailbox at home, both PWI and the original company is getting richer all because they "said" you would get a very small insignificant amt of zen for "free", when in fact you will be lucky to see any of your "free" zen for atleast 3-6 months when the terms of the original agreement is met by all parties.

    I did about a half hour after I signed up (as it said it takes 15 minutes) and there was nothing. I looked now, almost an hour later and it is there. My apologies to PWI. I take it all back. I was mistaken. The free zen option worked as promised for the ad I did. It just took a bit longer then they said it would.

    Again my apologies for not waiting longer (say a day or two) and exploding like that. It's just all this economy **** is getting on my nerves and making me jumpy.

    I did the first PW offers, but never got anything <-< ...
    This time though, I actually got some luck, and managed to get 3 gold 67 silver.

    First off, there are different host sites with different offers for the "free" section.

    When you restart 3 page, if I remember right, you get OfferPal Media, Gambit (both red logos,)or SuperRewards (green label.)

    Gambit has one offer that is completely free, but the rest require a credit card even though it says "free." b:surrender

    SuperRewards actually has more free offers that requires you to just register to a site. One of them will take you through a long series of question, but most of the questions u can skip or answer not interested, so really, its just a matter of looking for thos "No" space. There is another offer though, that only goes through 4-5 pagees of questions that you can click "no," to and then your done.

    The only survey with Super Rewards that I found problems with is the Survery Panel Group.

    These worked on SuperRewards that I found so far-

    Gambit-

    awards - 139 zen
    Takes 5 minutes.
    Answer first few questions, then skip, skip, skip away.

    If you have problems the offers you should contact the offers about, and they will get back to you shortly. Also, please wait at least 15-30 mins if it does not come in right away. b:shy
