Hola All ... I stumpled upon this thread & am happy to se a few of you concerned about all the "freebie credits" scams .... BUT, don't trust a BBB report >>>

a few facts ... (fr Wikipedia, but you can find this info everywhere, even the BBB website)

The Better Business Bureau (BBB), founded in 1912, is a corporation consisting of several private business franchises ... not a governmental agency as some people think

BBBs gather and report information on business reliability, alert the public to frauds against consumers and businesses, provide information on ethical business practices, and act as mutually trusted intermediaries between consumers and businesses to resolve disputes other agencies turn to these reports & ratings to screen companies for contracts & negotiations; heck, even the news media use these reports to verif the reliability of a business entity

BUT

The CBBB is governed by leaders of local BBBs, as well as by senior executives from major American corporations, and community leaders such as academics and legal experts. A study by a business school dean at Marquette University found that ninety percent of BBB board members are from business.[2]

Each BBB entity is run separately. BBB entities are chiefly funded by member businesses. The national CBBB receives franchise fees, which amounted to $131 million in 2007.[2] CBBB also receives funding from corporate partners and sponsors.[2]

okay .. so are you thinking yet?

Basically, the way the BBB funds itself is by having businesses pay to be rated & listed in thier directory ... they can't be trusted to accurately rate ANY business entity because those businesses PAY for their rating ... don't believe me? Read for yourself cuz I directly qquoted fr the Wikipedia article, & check out info on investigative reports over that last couple of years abut the scam the BBB is running telling us all who is "reliable" or not ...
after reading all the info on page one^^ whew, glad i never checked on any of those!!
i only watch the videos for the tiny gc reward, 2, 3 or 5 gold. it adds up!!
we did fill out one for lower car insurance quotes, we got 15 calls the next day,(let them all go to voicemail) then never heard from them again, and we did get $6.00 gaia cash on that one.
mom was looking for a interest free credit card to transfer a balance to then pay off with no interest, so she applied for the discover card, 0 percent interest for 6 months on new bal transfer and i think we received $20.00 gaia cash from that or maybe higher.

those are the only offers that we completed and all were safe. thats it!!

thank for making this thread!

Honestly Gaia needs to get it's s**t together; offers that SCAM you?! Just taking advantage of kids signing up for things that don't know any better, or as you said the non-tech savvy. It makes me sick to my stomach.
thank you for the information

wish i would have checked out this thread before i did the free offers... stressed i only did ones that needed my email.. i gave the one i dont use anymore. dramallama luckily i have got nothing but spam from doin so.
yum_puddi Wow, I'm really glad I didn't go for any of the "Free" Gaia cash.
Free, of course, in quotation marks because none of the cash is actually free,
save for the stuff we're getting from the cash trees now.

Also, why is this in the chatter box? yum_puddi

It's a good thing I'm super cautious about that stuff. I can't afford gaia cash, but never tried getting the free stuff...
A lot of the things I tried actually work. I got 200 cash out of it but Im really careful about what i do. I garantee the kmart coupon thing actually works.

I never even gave out my address and never even tried download them because they looks like scams from the start stare But I did made an extra email for spams xDD So I only put my email... and spams all they want, I doesn't necessary cares smile and I check my computer for virus every month and yet no virus ^^
Many are scams. However, all offers are just not worth it. We're all better off buying gaia cash rather than completing offers.
Are you still doing the pentition? I really want to sign it.
I sucks that you have to pay for something that's free already! Isn't that whhy we try to earn FREE cash because its free!?

You guys need to see that, if you want free gaia cash, give fake info.
I give my fake address and everything because I don't trust the offers.
but I only fake on car insurance and like those quizzes.
