Title: free laptops?
Post by: vawnthefirst on June 18, 2009, 12:09:49 pm

How do you feel about those ads for free alptops and computers? Do you feel those are gimmicks and scams? Has anyone believe the no credit no up front payment plans?

If it isn't a scam you will probably have to spend a butt load of money on other offers to qualify... and hope the laptop isn't some bare bones model.

Normally, when you get an offer for a "free laptop", they want you to spend money on like 9 offers with Silver, Gold and Platinum offers or whatever. It's not worth the time or money. :)

I have found that you have to go thru so many offers and then you have to suscribe to at least two offers. In the long run you probably will end of paying as much as if you would go out and buy the laptop.

Even if you follow everything to the letter and participate un the offers I think you would be lucky to ever get one. More stress than they would be worth IMO. You comply and jump through hoops. They get credit and never send you anything and theres nothing you can do about it. :bs:

Those offers seem to fit nicely into the old rule - if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

It's easier (and probably cheaper) to go to Wal-Mart and buy one off the shelf. Never mind whether or not they're scams.
Wal-Mart has good computers, believe it or not.
