Get points toward prizes by trying out products and services, signing up for free offers and doing surveys! For our users, there is no easier way to get free prizes for trying out products and services that you normally would, for advertisers ranging all the way from Blockbuster to Earthlink Internet Services to Doubleday Book Club. You can rent movies, shop for clothes, try out that new beauty lotion - and get points for these everyday purchases! But not everything costs you money - you can also get points from trying out hundreds of offers that are completely free! Advertisers pay us referral fees and commissions in order to get customers such as yourselves to sign up for products and services. We pass most of that to you as sweeteners - so that you can benefit from your own online activities! What do you have to do to get money? Register with us, and then start doing offers. The pointage you get is listed with each offer, as are the offer description and requirements. Make sure you meet all the requirements and wait for the points to start rolling in. Completing an offer usually includes signing up with real information, at a minimum. Some will require purchases, or free trials, or play (if a casino offer). Others will include completing surveys, or entering sweepstakes... and much more! Refer your friends and earn 10% of their cashout value! Come try AppleFreebiez today! Are there any requirements to join AppleFreebiez? To join, you should have a computer, an Internet connection and a desire to get your free iPod! You should also be at least 13 years old and a resident of the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany or France. We take care of the rest! To get your prizes, you must ensure that your account has been confirmed (by clicking on the link within the confirmation email) and that your personal and payment information is up to date. Once you earn enough for your prize, a redemption button will appear and you may choose to redeem. Once you have done that, we will review, and if approved, we send your prize within the month. What is that warning about proxy servers that I see? Our rules prohibit the use of proxy servers to access offers and gain credit. This ONLY applies to people who willfully and maliciously use proxy servers to hide their location and otherwise fraudulently misrepresent themselves. Users cheating in this manner will be denied payment and banned if their behavior demands it. Several major ISPS and campus networks, including AOL, use proxy servers to access the Internet for their users. Users in those situations will be excepted, as they are not doing anything wrong. We can tell if you are one of these, so do not worry about it. Nothing will happen to your accounts or cashout because of it. My friends and family want to join, but they share an IP or address with me. If other people are using your computer or live in your household and want to join AppleFreebiez, we must know and give permission before all of you can be paid. Frequently, advertisers do not consider multiple same-address or same-IP signups to be genuine, so it is more for your sake that we have this policy. If we do allow multiple accounts on the same IP or physical address, then all users in question must do different offers from each other. We cannot be responsible for non-credit if you do not follow those rules, and we can withhold payment as that behavior is not good for our reputation. Registration, Confirmation and Passwords If you can't register, one of these situations may apply:
I'm an International, and can't register. Check that all information is entered properly. Enter your information as requested and you should be able to register. You should receive an email from us at the email address that you used to sign up at AppleFreebiez. The email contains a link which you must click in order to be confirmed. Once you have done that, the 25 point signup bonus will be credited to your account, and your referrer will receive credit for your referral. I have not received a confirmation email. If you have not received the confirmation email, you have the option of resending a confirmation email. Just click on the link that you will find on the top of the page once you login. It should say something like "Your account has not been confirmed", along with a link underneath that that will automatically resend you a confirmation email. If you have an email address given to you by Comcast, RoadRunner and several other Internet services, it is likely that they routinely categorize our emails as spam and place them in the spam folder or delete them immediately. These emails include not only the confirmation email you need to confirm your account, but emails telling you of offer completions and any support emails from us. If you are such a case and you think that our emails are not reaching you, please contact us by sending a registration support inquiry. What happened to my signup bonus? If your signup bonus has not been credited, it is likely that you have not confirmed your account. Do so, and the problem should be fixed. If I'm not confirmed, can I still do offers? You may do offers and be credited normally, even if you aren't confirmed. However, you will be unable to successfully redeem if you have not confirmed your account AND you do not have complete and correct personal and payment information listed with us! Entering a wrong password triggers a page in which you can choose to reset your password. Choose that option and then enter the email address associated with your account. Once you do that, look in your email inbx for an email from us. You should then click on the link in the email, which will reset your password to "test." You may then login and change your password to something you can remember. Referral Links, Bonuses and Cashout Bonuses What do I get for referring people? For referring friends and family, you receive 10% of their earnings. They must confirm their email address AND make a successful cashout in order for you to receive the bonus. Refer lots of people, and ensure a steady stream of revenue from their activity! When do I get the referral bonus? To earn your referral bonus, your referral must confirm their email address AND make a successful cashout in order for you to receive the bonus. Thus, your referrals have to be active and check out as legitimate users in order for you to get paid. With this system, we never have to deny any referral bonuses or penalize you for problems linked to your referral's accounts! How do I know if my referrals have signed up? On the welcome page, you will be notified of the number of referrals you have, and the number of confirmed referrals. Your account page lists all your referrals and their status. All bonuses earned from referrals will be listed on the completions list once they are credited. Your exact referral link is found in the Referrals section, along with lots of media you can use to attract referrals. It should be in this format: http://www.AppleFreebiez.com/?ref=USERNAME, where USERNAME is YOUR username. Make sure it is correct, otherwise you will not get the referral bonus for any referrals you make. Where should I post my referral links? Post your referral link in your MSN Messenger, or AOL Instant Messenger, or your ICQ profile. You should also post it on your personal website, if you have one; on your personal profile on Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Bebo or Friendster or similar communities; and in your signature on any of the forums that you are a member of. If you make distributable media (Flash, ringtones, wallpapers, movies, soundclips), you may want to reference us in it. You may or may not choose to include one of our banners. You may post it in threads and send it to friends as well, but ensure that it is not spam. We will take immediate action against users accused of spam, as we do not support the usage of our product to detract from the user experience at other websites. One of my referrals joined up, but I have no credit. Are you sure they signed up using your referral link? If you supplied them with an incorrect one, or they did not sign up directly after clicking on your referral link, you will not be getting any referral earnings from them. However, if they have signed up under you, you will see them on your account page. Once they have confirmed their email address, you can start "earning" from their activity. Because you do not see credit from them doesn't mean you will not earn money in future. Our scripts will automatically credit you the percentage of their earnings as soon as they make a successful cashout that is approved. Can I have international referrals? Yes, you may, as long as they are one of the five countries eligible. Offer Information, Missing Credit and Problems What are the requirements for each offer? Requirements for each offer are listed under each offer in each section: normal, distributable and shopping offers. Generally, you will have to signup using correct information. Sometimes, a purchase will be involved, or a subscription, or a free trial, or entering a survey. Always pay attention to the requirements - if you do not follow these, you will likely not get credit. I have a question about an offer which I have NOT done yet. If you have questions relating to offers you are thinking of doing but have not yet, you should consider seeing if it is mentioned on the forums. Frequently, there are discussion of the best offers out there, tips on deals and savings, and other helpful hints. Also, feel free to navigate the advertiser's website for more help, and make use of their customer service staff. If you have additional questions which you feel we could answer, send us a Non-Credit-Related Offer Inquiry. Where can I find a certain offer? On the welcome page, you will find a search box that will assist you in finding particular offers. If you cannot find the offer using the search terms you initially entered, try different combinations of letters, or shortened versions of your search term. Sometimes offers are listed under similar names, or there may be spelling errors on our part. Your Account page should have a link to a page containing all of the offers you have completed so far. Also included on that list are the pointages attached to each, as well as the status of each (approved or denied). Unfortunately, we have no data on offer status PRIOR to completion, as we do not handle the transactions you initiate on advertiser websites. Offers that you have completed disappear from the pages, so you don't do them again. However, you should still pay attention. I have a non-credit-related customer service issue with a specific offer/advertiser. Where do I go? If you have an issue with an offer that is not credit-related, you should attempt to work it out through the Customer Service department of the advertiser running the offer. We will be of less help in these circumstances. You should be able to find a contact number, email address or inquiry form on the advertiser's website. If you have a credit issue, do NOT approach advertisers. You will likely not get credit, and it may jeopardize our relationship with advertisers. Instead, go to the non-credit support page. We can better assist you here. Offer credit is denied for several reasons. The most likely reason is that the advertiser felt you entered invalid information or made an invalid payment. While this usually means fraud, it isn't necessarily so - sometimes you do not meet their requirements of a customer. Financial offers in particular require customers with the right type of credit and who are in a position to need and accept the mortgage, loan or whatever they are trying to sell. Sometimes they review sales and find that you are not a new customer. If their requirements are for you to be a new customer, then you will be denied. Rather than delete these denied completions, we leave them up so that you do not complete them again. If you do attempt them twice, there is no excuse that you "forgot" you did the offer before. We do not permit offers to be completed twice, especially when one completion is denied. Casino Information, Missing Credit and Problems What are the requirements for each casino offer? Requirements for each casino offer are listed under each offer on the Chance Games pages. Typically, they involve a deposit requirement, a wagering requirement and limitations on joining other casinos in their casino family (if you do, you will not get credit for subsequent signups). The deposit requirement MUST be deposited up-front and immediately on signup. We suggest that you use NETeller or some online payment method other than credit card - most credit cards will not transfer to casinos, and if they do, the delay can often nullify your commission. I have a question about a casino offer which I have NOT done yet. If you have questions relating to casino offers you are thinking of doing but have not yet, you should consider seeing if it is mentioned on the forums. Frequently, there are discussion of the best offers out there, tips on deals and savings, and other helpful hints. Also, feel free to navigate the casino's website for more help, and make use of their customer service staff. If you have additional questions which you feel we could answer, send us a Non-Credit-Related Casino Offer Inquiry. What's this about casino families? The list of casino families is posted here. Do not do more than one casino in a casino family, or you will not be able to receive the pointages for those additional signups. Casinos are very strict about this, and they have many ways of ensuring that "double" crediting does not happen. Do not attempt it and then appeal for credit, as we will not be able to help you. What do I need to provide in order to keep my casino credit? Once you have completed the casino offer, please submit a casino credit request with pictorial proof that you fulfilled requirements. This may include confirmation emails from the casino stating your deposit amount, screenshots showing how much you wagered (usually displayed on the account page). You may also get this proof from the casino cashier, who will provide you with your betting history on request. I have a non-credit-related customer service issue with a specific casino. Where do I go? If you have an issue with a casino offer that is not credit-related, you should attempt to work it out through the Customer Service department of the casino. We will be of less help in these circumstances. You should be able to find a contact number, email address or inquiry form on the advertiser's website. If you have a credit issue, do NOT approach advertisers. You will likely not get credit, and it may jeopardize our relationship with advertisers. Instead, go to the casino non-credit support page. We can better assist you here. My casino offer credit was denied. Your casino offer credit was likely denied because you withdrew the money too early. We suggest you play and keep your winnings in the casino for a couple days before attempting to cash it out. Early cashouts can nullify your commission, even though they may have supplied it earlier - it goes against the spirit of what they are trying to do: getting you inspired to play at their casino. Redemptions, Missing Payments and Denials When must you redeem, and when are redemptions honored? We review all prize redemptions soon after they are made. During the month after the redemption, we will deny or approve and then send your prize. When you attempt redemption, your order will go through an approval process. The initial status is "pending", and depending on our decision, can go into a payable or denied state. If it is given "tentative approval," it is in queue to be ordered. We can then put it into "awaiting shipment" and "shipped/sent", which mean exactly what they sound like, or "cancelled," "denied," and "details verification." If it is given status "details verification," you may have to provide identification to ensure authenticity and accuracy. You may only cashout AFTER you have at least the minimum point value for your chosen prize in your account balance. When your account balance reaches this amount, a redemption button will appear which you can click. If you are still unable to make a redemption, ensure that 1) you don't already have one pending, 2) you don't have any denied offers which could be dropping your balance from what you expected and 3) you are not fraudulently completing offers. Can I cancel and remake redemptions? >You may cancel your redemption at any time, and all the points in that redemption will return to your balance. You may also remake your redemption at any time. I need to change my payment information but don't want to mess up my redemption. Your payment information for a redemption may not be changed once the deadline for that redemption is past. You may change the payment information on your account, but it will only affect future redemptions. If your prize redemption was approved, it is past the requisite waiting period for your redemption payment method AND you have not received the gift, please let us know. We will inquire with the merchant and redeliver if necessary. Your redemption was denied for one of the following reasons: 1) Missing personal information. We cannot issue payments if your address is not complete and correct. This is definitely an issue when it comes to prize payments - if we don't have a correct address, your prize will never get to you. 2) Fraud. If you've committed any infraction of our rules, your payment will be denied unless we feel your situation warrants nicer treatment. Infractions include creating fake referrals, creating multiple accounts for yourself, having multiple accounts in one household or IP without permission, entering in fake information, cheating offers with fake credit cards, etc. For international users, this includes clicking on or completing any offers that are NOT chance games offers. For an account to be cleared after a redemption denial, the user must undergo additional account verification. The verification page provides information on how to complete this simple verification procedure, including acceptable identification and fax instructions.
