July DIY explosion!

Welcome to the July DIY explosion! *lights a Roman candle*


We will debate musthavefreegifts and consumergain, and review a treasure-trove of new YFD links. On all entries, I strive to give thorough, preliminary discourse for each network so members become acquainted with the DIY before seeking them out. Comprehension is key to successfully clamber any mountaintop in the freebie world, as hard as it may be in the early stages. I'm eager to fill in the blanks with these companies as well as teach the fundamentals. So let's begin!

musthavefreegifts (MHFG)-- This company has a reputation for arduousness. Reports of credit retractions; waiting weeks (for an update) until sudden notification of being DQed; slow to respond. Although, a "glitch" in their system can be contributed to the numerous subtraction of credited offers, much like I-Deal. Numbers even went south after qualifying for these gifts, but that was OK since the status on them showed "being processed." The timeframe yields 30 days, so everything must be done within that period. Also, the offers still credit after 30 days, you just aren't allowed to try new ones. You cannot participate for another gift in a 30-day timeframe from when you last completed one. And you mustn't complete any offers until you receive the confirmation e-mail otherwise those offers are subject to rescindment. They once allowed multiple prize fulfillment, but now the terms state only one gift per lifetime. Their shipping schedule rests at 6-8 weeks.

How the account page should read:

"Account Status

You are a Level 5 user.

Your selected prize: Merchant gift card of some sort - 500 (value)

You have clicked on 15 offers.

We have received verification for 6 of 5 offers.

Click Here to complete more offers.


Shipping Information edit

Your prize is being processed.
Please allow 6-8 weeks for shipping."

This usually means you're good to go even if the offers retract. Despite enduring languish and hardship for weeks, MHFG prevailed! Members lucked into a cornucopia of $1,500.00+ gifts. Below are the links I have. The offer count may have skyrocketed on some, you all will have to check. :)

consumergain-- Here's the lowdown on them. They're known to have 6 offer/$500.00 gc, and laptop deals of equal value. Awhile back people received gift cards, now checks are a common source of payment. They credit fast with the exception of the last page, which you have to do a CC offer(s) on. The wait on the CC offers to process is generally 3-5 weeks. The shipping time is expeditious. I would say overall they rank 8 out of 10, but that's mostly due to the OOD.

^--- Isn't the best, but it's the norm. 6 offers/$500.00 check, 2 OOD on the last page, i.e. CC offers.

Now, my favourite DIY network ever... *drumroll* YFD/Netblue! You go through the same steps as YTB/Brandarama. Sign up, complete the survey, and do the required amount of offers per page. Start-to-finish you're looking at 2-3 months total with the 56 day deadline in tact. After 56 days you may request manual credit (MCR = manual credit request), and they should be able to assist you provided have your billing statement and/or confirmation(s) handy. The old rule was 45 days, but it's changed. I found some links you guys may be interested in...

I haven't ascertained the payout ratio/offer count on some of these. Just experiment a little to find out. :)

Well, DIY has left me depleted of energy once more, lol. It always does. Anyway, I hope this blog was instructive and enjoyable for you visitors; I had fun writing it! Exhausted now, but expect a new blog in the not-so-distant future... though I cannot say when that will be with accuracy.

Some more fireworks for you guys, lol...



Uh-oh!! I hear my siren going off! Ahhhhh, I keep calling myself "Site Cop Wozniack." I better get used to the change, it's *Grade Monitor now. ;)
