in It's gone, but was it any good?
Go Here for what appears to be a pretty good intro offer.

It's one of those deals where you sign up and they send you stuff to purchase till you cancel but they are even giving way a digi-cam when you sign up.

    You are very welcome to avoid this offer but hopefully you are not offering this as advice to others.

    Why would you advise that people avoid this offer since you have admitted that you 'Dont Know' what happens after the intro offer.

    AS I SAID - YOU CAN CANCEL AT ANY TIME!!!!!

    This LINK will take one to the same website. Here the offer is £1.99 for the same/similar package & you get a free travel alarm clock & wireless mouse (latter, if paying by credit card).

    These are their Terms & Conditions, which seem OK - but beware, see this comment by RufusA when the above offer was posted on MSE last year.

    Another thing to be very aware about is their Privacy Policy. If anyone goes for this make sure to tick the opt-out boxes on the Terms and Conditions page before placing an order, or be virtually sure to be swamped with junk mail :eek:. Finally, their customer line is an 0870 number.

    rizla01, my first impressions were exactly that of SkipClick, & it wasn't based on this experience by wirm or RufusA's comments - I've been involved with a similar company in the past & it wasn't easy to get out of. I'll be avoiding too (please don't take this personally :)). G

    GoofyCat. That was a very considerate reply and greatly appreciated.

    I understand the reservations but must admit, didn't know about any past experiences with this bunch.

    Thank You.

    I would advice anyone thinking of taking up this offer not too. Firstly its not even worth the £3.99. The info in it isn't even basic even someone with no knowledge of computers would know what it contains. I had a really bad experience trying to cancel it! Still have it sitting about the house somewhere. I have never even looked at it since the day it arrived!

    Presumably because it isn't a freebie and the free camera giveaway is a special offer. That is what the grabbit board is here for, no?
