NeverBlue's Amazing ** 52 ** Purchases Required for "Freebie" CPA Offer

by kindsvater

I was looking at so-called 'free' CPA offers requiring purchases to get a $250 gift card.

One offered on NeverBlue really stood out.

To get a $250 Mcdonald's Gift Card all one has to do is:

- Use a valid email address,

- Submit accurate contact and demographic information for whatever is asked (address, phone, etc.)

- Make 2 Silver Group purchases,

- Make 2 Gold Group purchases,

- Make 9 Platinum Group purchases,

- Refer 3 friends who also do all of the above and make the required number of purchases.

Grand total: 52 purchases required.

In other words, a complete scam. I'm guessing 0% of participants ever get a gift card.

    I am guessing you are right...

    No one gets the gift card, and no one gets the commission, and the marketing company makes some money and gets the consumer's contact information.

      It is an email CPA submit, so affiliates get paid without purchases needing to be made.

      It is the consumer who gets screwed. After providing their personal information that is then sold, and after maybe completing a couple "trial" offers that pay a commission to the merchant, they give up.

    Look on the bright side, at least you didn't have to actually EAT at McDonald's! This CPA offer may have actually saved your life!

    :rolleyes:

    Seriously this is a good example of a CPA offer not to promote. Too many people get hung up on the amount that a CPA offer will pay out as opposed to seeing if it is actually an offer that people will respond to. I can't imagine anyone going though all the steps to complete it.

    If the CPA offer asks for more information than you have to fill out when you see a new doctor then it's time to look for another one!

    I myself am not even into CPA marketing (yet) by I have ran accross these many times, as an actual user, and let me say, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that your not actually going to get anything. Like your mamma always told you, "if it sounds too good to be true, well then it probably isn't."

    With that in mind, and as others have said, an ideal example of an offer than I wouldn't take from either perspective (marketer or user).

    A lot of the CPA offers(that convert) these days are similar. Maybe not as extreme, but still shady.
