Update on Free Electronics Offers

My free digital camera takes some outstanding pictures, I've been using it to take photos of all the hotel rooms I've stayed in over the past six months or so. A couple posts below you can see the view from my deck at Bora Bora Nui.

I'm still working on the free Xbox 360 though.

As long-time readers of this site know, I spent a lot of time figuring out the best ways to go about getting these offers. In general, you have to complete a marketing offer and get several friends (3 to 10, depending on the electronic item you seek) to do the same. If you wait long enough, easy offers will show up -- offers that are free or free for a trial period long enough to cancel without getting charged.

Customer service is slow, the company isn't responsive, but I've always gotten my items -- the iPod mini, the photo iPod, the desktop computer, Mac Mini, iPod Shuffle, to name a few.

The Xbox 360 (as I understand it) hasn't even come out yet but is due out in late November. But the one they'll be sending is even the $399 premium edition, not the stripped down model.

FreePay also has a brand new offer -- free iPod Nanos.
