Off-Topic / Flavored Cigarettes Ban in the US

« on: October 10, 2009, 07:14:00 pm »Message ID: 98377

Ok, so I've been smoking since I was 12 and then discovered clove cigarettes when I was 19 in college.  I'm 34 now and my primary choice has been clove cigarettes since then.  (I have quit for as much as a year before and smoked the occasional Marlboro but not primarily)  Now, Obama signs into law the "Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act" which now bans all flavored cigarettes, excluding menthol, from being sold in the USA.  After my initial shock and dismay, I have discovered that it will not be illegal for individual persons to obtain them nor use them in the USA, just that they cannot be imported for retail sale.  Now, while I'm sure there's some logical explanation to that about the flavors being more attractive to the younger crowds, etc, etc, some of us are just loyal and aren't quite ready to just throw in the towel or revert to standard cigarettes just because the government says so.  So...I'm reaching out here for 1) feedback always good, interesting & potentially educational especially if anyone else feels my pain and 2) any resources that any can recommend, preferably via internet, where I can get clove cigarettes (1st choice is Djarum, but I'm open on brand) ordered by the individual carton.  For those non-smokers who would like to rail against smoking altogether, please, there are other threads out there and for the diehard smokers, we're not really listening anyway because, well, we *WANT* to smoke.  Please help though if anyone has info.

Suggestions / PREPAID CREDIT CARDS??

« on: August 02, 2009, 06:43:31 am »Message ID: 76123

Has anyone ever used or attempted to use prepaid credit cards for the completion of offers?  I'm somewhat interested in signing up for a few things, but until I know for sure that I'm going to like it & continue to use it, I'd rather not run the risk of tying up my $$ in my checking account.  Sometimes the cancellation process isn't so easy and it becomes a hassle to do so.  SO...I was thinking about using the prepaid cards so that I can add $$ at my discretion that's not tied directly to my bank account & will limit the $$ sponsors can draw.  I'm just worried that sometimes it asks for address information and in some cases if the addresses don't match it will decline your participation.  Since it's a prepaid card, there really isn't a "billing address" and sometimes it's not even listed in your name at all. 

I'd love some advice if anyone's willing to share!!  Thanks!

Suggestions / Keeping Track of the Offers...

« on: April 19, 2009, 06:56:07 pm »Message ID: 48702

It's sometimes difficult to keep track of which ones you've done, which you dont qualify for, which ones are new...etc.  Sometimes even the icons & titles are the same so you can't even go by that to help you differentiate.  Would it be possible to provide the date the offer was posted on FC (and even make it sortable by date posted) so we could see which ones are newest and quit double, triple, quadruple clicking and getting excited over what we *think* is a really new offer?  Would it help anyone other than me?

Suggestions / $3 Forum Posting Suggestions

« on: April 12, 2009, 10:59:47 am »Message ID: 47087

Rather than us posting our samples & requests in a now humongous thread for the 30 posts/month, is there some way to make an online form that we can fill out?  Not only would it be easier for the members, Admin just *might* have an easier time sorting things out ... and save themselves some headaches?  It could filter to a certain email or something that only admin would be using....and it'd save space on the Forum servers from us posting the same posts more than once just to demonstrate what we've posted.  Any possibility???

Offers / MISSING DAILY OFFER???

Ok...so I know there was a hard disk failure & that everything was backed up successfully, but for the last 3 days (at least) the only offers that come up for the "daily" offers is Amp & My2Cents.  Where's the one for $0.10 where you click on 4 links in one section, visit one page for the 2nd section

It'd be nice if the most recent posts were shown first sometimes so you can see the most up-to-date responses especially if a thread is getting terribly long...kinda stinks sometimes to have to click through page after page to see a reply to the most recent thoughts.
