    I also think it's a bad idea.

    1 - I have to pay £5 for something I can quite easily do myself.
    2 - I guess you will apply for everything? I wouldn't really like it if I got sent usless freebies which are a waste of everyones time.
    3 - It won't work. As said before if you apply for a lot of people from the same IP it will probably mean nobody will get the freebe and not only that but it might get removed due to abuse.
    ...etc...

    That would totally spoil the fun of looking for freebies, wouldn't it? What do you think?

    hum its a good idea in theory but i wouldn't pay £4.99 so i can get freebies which i can get for free if i do it myself.

    i agree lol :rotfl:
  • this topic is old... why was it bumped?

    reguardless, while I agree with most the objections, i'd like to point out that freebies aren't free... they take up your time. And time is money. Everyone knows that.
