HELP! Rookie mistake- Can I re-do trial offers?

[crazymomof4]

I'm such a ROOKIE!

I joined a GPT site w/o investigating it and I think I will get burned!
Last night I got carried away on Panda Research. I completed a total of $100 worth of surveys and free trial offers, including the $30 Blockbuster trial!!!
Now today I started get bad vibes when not one offer was approved. I researched Panda (a little too late! ) and they are high on the list of scam sites! It seems they like to keep your completed offers "pending" for like, forever.....never pay out!

Stupid, stupid, stupid! What makes me mad is that now I probably cannot complete those offers on legitimate sites where I would actually get paid!
Do any of you "Experts" out there know a way around this? Is there a way that I can re-do these offers using an alternate email addy and cc? I'm not looking to carry out fraud, I just want to get paid for offers that I honestly DID complete!

unfortunetly because you need to use your real name and address, if you dont it is fraud, you cant repeat any offers.

Oh honey my biggest suggestion would be to only use the sites that we talk about on here. That way you will be safe.....I am sorry about Panda.

Wow that sucks! I wish I could have warned you about panda.

The offers you used the credit card to complete no you can't repeat those it will be fraud and the sites really crack down on that. The free ones without the credit card yes you can repeat with a different email address.

I'm sorry this happened to you.

Drat!
This is really one of those things to chalk up to "You live and learn!" Right?

Tomorrow I'm going to call and cancel all the Panda trials I signed for.
I just want to clear my slate of anything having to do w/ Panda and forget it ever happened! Just move on!
(I'll keep the Blockbuster one for at least the first month to give it a try!)
But why should I wait and chance an overcharge on the others if Panda isn't going to verify them anyway?

I have a few friends interested in GPT and I feel good knowing that they can learn from my mistakes. Yup! I'm sticking to the sites recommended here on the DIS! Why I went out on my own and joined Panda is beyond me!?!??!?

Please research all rewards sites before getting too heavy in them. I would stick with the tried and true sites like Sunshine rewards, creations rewards, quick rewards, treasure trooper, and cash duck.

Sadly it was mentioned that this board was mentioned on an aggressive rewards board on the internet as "fresh meat" and a place where people could spam about new sites that may or may not be legit so be aware of that before you jump into any new sites because they may or may not pay out and they may not pay out for all the offers you do because they are not following the rules of advertisers and affiliates properly. A few things to look out for are sites that pay for shopping at either Amazon.com or Walmart.com. Those 2 places do not allow incentives for shopping so I'd question any site on their legitimacy if they offer those. (There are other red flags but that is a pretty obvious one since mypoints and treasure trooper are the only sites contracted with walmart.)

What's strange is that I am the type of person who never jumps into anything (not even a WDW vacation ) w/o totally researching it! This move was totally uncharacteristic of me and that is why I'm so mad at myself. I can only say that I totally "got caught in the moment". A stupid mistake-- not likely to occur again since I've given myself quite a mental "tongue-lashing"!!!

Today I plan to spend my "work-from-home" time canceling all my Panda offers and educating myself further on the in's and out's of GPT sites...................oh, geez I also have to prepare a presentation for the PTA meeting @ 3pm! Almost forgot! gotta fit that into my day too. One of the best things about work from home is the flexibility it allows you!!!!!!

Oh drat! I'm so sorry!

Now you just need to join some of the sites mentioned here on the board have some real fun earning your rewards.

It's ok - don't kick yourself too hard. Just let it go and start on another site that has proven to be good.

No more spur of the moment stuff just come here and ask - someone is always around to help out!
