Zip code submits for Real?

    Are these one field offers legit? I don't mean do they pay out, I trust that they do, I just don't understand how someone can give a $250 gift certificate for just submitting their zipcode, or is the zipcode the first step in a longer process?

    But, we do get paid for just the zipcode submit correct?

    submitting the zipcode is first step in a process which usually includes signing up for many offers or newsletters etc.. but u just get paid for zip entry it doesn't matter if they don't complete the offers. BUT dont get the idea of just getting your friends to just input a zip as then you will be asked by the network not to promote that offer as your leads would be of poor quality.

    Right, that's not a very sustainable business model anyway, not with the number of friends I have anyway!

    I am still amazed at the "generosity" of the offers. $500 gift cards, xboxes for filling out some surveys? Has anybody ever actually recieved there prize. I'd like to promote these offers but how can you get repeat visitors if these offers are scammy?

    Just as any site does label it as advertisiment and dont vouch for the offer. :)
    Yes people actually do receive the items if they do all the offers etc.

    The offers are legit, just like xboxundone wrote: the zip submit is the first step for the users, they must do other stuff to receive the prize. Just read the terms and conditions of these offers and you will understand better...

    Yes, I agree... legit. The surfer needs to jump through some hoops and might end up spending as much as the gift card costs, but if they comply with all the terms, they'll get the freebie. For example, the surfer might have to 'participate' with 10 sponsors to get the gift card. So they'd need to buy printer ink with one advertisers, sign up for a credit card for another, join some book club for a third, etc, etc.... then maybe require to sign up a friend who does the same thing.
