AOL tends to be a little difficult to cancel.

They're stubborn. Haha. However, I did the AOL For Broadband trial for something else a while ago, and cancelled by mail rather than by phone, and there was no hassle.

ancestry.com was a pain to cancel too. I had to yell at the guy (after a 20 minute discussion) before he finally cancelled it.

...wow. They were a little pushy with my dad, and he wussed out and passed the torch to me. I was just very terse and answered basically all the girl's questions with, "Actually, I'm just looking to cancel my account." It worked.

Errr, yes, please get your parents' permission.

You'll need a credit card number for the vast majority of the offers, anyway.

Heres another offer description:

Blockbuster: Sign up for a 2 week trial of their mail order DVD service. If you choose to keep going with it you can have 3 DVDs sent to you where you have as much time as you want to watch them. When you are done merely ship them back at no cost. This service is easily signed up for and easily canceled. Your credit card number is required though.

Haha, I had to call twice, cuz the first time, it was this really sweet girl who kept trying to flirt me into keeping it. So I broke down and let her send me whatever email that is they asked to send. I know, I'm a softie

Hey guys, I'm back. If Luke wants to take over fully from now on, thats cool with me. Or if he wants to transfer it back over to me, thats cool as well. It's up to you man.

I added this rule. Tell me if you think it needs revising.

"If you were one of the 5 who did an offer for either Danny or I before this thread was started, and you would like to be added to the list, simply PM the person you helped and tell them the email you used to confirm it. They can then inform the person in charge to add you, and you will be added to the end of the list (it wouldnt be fair to those who found this thread first if we put you at the start, sorry). This rule was added so that those who helped Danny and I can join the list as well, but not at the expense of those who are already on the list. You still may not join the list if you helped someone outside of CGR or if you did not help anyone at all. It would be unfair and against the general idea of this thread, helping out other CGR'ers and in turn being helped by others."

Mike, your referral for FreeiPods.com just went through for me.

(Not that I'm complaining; I needed one more and thought it was going to be fulfilled by someone else a week and a half ago, but it still hasn't gone through...) I have a feeling you must have clicked on the link in my sig ages ago when I first put it there and entered your email address (I remember yours coming up very early on), so you counted as my referral, but didn't sign up for anything. More recently, you clicked Bryan's link and actually completed an offer, but because you logged in with the same email address, the referral went to me.

Mike Graham · 08-31-2004, 11:02 AM

I hope I did not experience similar problems with the other offers.

You do it. It's not my project.

Casey · 08-31-2004, 11:50 AM

ok. I did the iPOD for apparently nothing a while back, but kind of abandoned it, but I want to start back up with the PC's and the flatscreen. So, which PC is the best?

Case

Mike Graham · 08-31-2004, 11:55 AM

I would think the Dell.

Yeah, the Dell is the best as far as I can tell. It's the only one with a P4 as opposed to a Celeron.

That said, I'll almost certainly be selling mine (provided I get enough referrals and all) for money to upgrade my current PC.

Casey · 08-31-2004, 12:13 PM

Man, I can't wait till one of us actually *gets* something. I'll be excited.
