Freebies Review

If you’ve got some time on your hands and live in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, or the USA, Freebies is a site to earn points and prizes. The location is important as many of the prize opportunities are limited to specific countries. Points are traded in for gift cards or payouts through PayPal. Each prize opportunity has its own timing and size of the prize.

What Is Freebies?

Freebies.com offers coupons, free prize draws, free samples, and giveaways by having you look at or experience an advertisement, video, or article on a subject. They also use daily inspiration messages, daily memes, #shareables, and riddles. Trivia questions and polls take time, but also put you in a position to win prizes or earn points. Many of the riddles and trivia are shared on Facebook – which does link to your personal account. Some of these are published directly by Freebies and some are from external sponsors/advertisers. The members’ only draws are for gift cards or cash.

Who Can Participate?

The rules on who can be a member are limited to residents of Australia, Canada (excluding Quebec), New Zealand, the United States, or the United Kingdom. Players also have to be 18 years or older. For the external prizes (non-direct Freebies.com), there are different rules and regulations depending on the sponsor/advertiser. In some cases, people from other countries can play.

What Are the Prizes Offered by Freebies?

Players can get things ranging from iPhones through to Lululemon yoga mats to electrical kettles and inflatable lounge chairs. Points collected can be used to purchase things in Freebies’ Point Store. Polls and surveys generally also collect points. Coupons can be collected for discounts on purchasing items. Then there are the members’ prizes. What is weird is, that a section of their site talks about monthly prizes, and then in their terms and conditions, they go on about a $500 gift card draw that takes place twice a year.

Who Owns Freebies?

Freebies is “sponsored” by Bricormedia Inc., a company out of Ontario, Canada. There are email and snail mail addresses (post office box) plus an online form. Bricormedia has offices in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, and the US. This is a company with a tag line “get your consumers to your website to sell products, engage in services, interact, complete a questionnaire, register for your newsletter, and more”.

What Are the Terms & Conditions?

Freebies.com’s terms and conditions are strictly for members only. The actual points accumulated go towards a monthly prize tier. The top 10 members win a $25 gift card and the 11th to 50th win a $5 card. Members from 1 to 400 top points go into a draw for a 1/$100 gift card, 2/$50, and 1/$25. For other prize links and sponsors, the terms and conditions are specific to their site.

How to Collect a Prize?

Spend your points in Freebies’ Point Store and your purchase is a click away. Keep in mind, that you will have to pay for the shipping and handling. Delivery depends on where it is coming from and who the supplier is. For members’ prizes, there is no timeline for how quickly you get your gift cards.

Freebies Feedback and Complaints

That is one of the things to watch for at Freebies.com. The only complaint found was referred to an external supplier who didn’t deliver and wouldn’t return the shipping and handling costs. Other than that, it looks like this is a fun site with some interesting things to do and a chance to earn points, win prizes or buy things.

Is Freebies Legit?

If you have the time to sit online answering stuff and don’t mind a lot of advertising, this looks like a fun site to surf around on. Oh, and if you’re a resident in the correct country to actually earn points. There are a few weird things in their terms and conditions on members’ draws.

This site does have a lot of interesting options on how to gain points and prizes. I particularly like the trivia questions and though I chose not to share that strawberry shortcake recipe on Facebook with all my friends, I did save it.

This site is upfront in that it’s a marketing and advertising site that shares information and gathers people’s contacts. At the same time, there is a heap of things to earn and win.

  1. Well they said I was getting free paints. I guess I should have come here before I gave them my name and address. I am usually smarter than this.

  2. Scam never give info. There need to be a law where you can sue them for false advertising

  3. I signed up for this via an Instagram ad about it, thinking it was an actual thing. I know some people have claimed it’s real, but I disagree. It takes you on a rabbit hole from one info questionnaire to the next, and even after clicking “confirm” on any one, it takes you to another one in an endless loop so you never get to “confirm” any “shipment” you get emailed about. Speaking of emails, I’ve gotten over 80 of them in the past 2 days from dozens of companies claiming I’ve won a free Samsung TV, a free $500 Walmart gift card, a free $1000 Amazon gift card, on and on–and it’s such a scam. Asks you to enter in your debit information (of which I have NOT done and I pray no helpless soul ever does). Will not be giving them my information ever again. Please do not trust this.

    • **Full Disclosure: I am part of the Freebies.com Team**

      Just wanted to let the community know that a new Freebies.com site came out April 2019.

      We collected the many recommendations from our members and designed our own sampling program that is only open to our members to ensure you get more freebies, more often. You can earn ballots (old members will remember them as points) and exchange them for full-size free samples or enter prize draws:

      Current Free Samples: https://freebies.com/free-samples/

      We also have a pretty active Facebook Community, so if you want to talk directly to our team please DM our page at Facebook.com/Freebies.

      Thanks for taking the time to review the new Freebies.com!

  4. False advertising!!! All you get for free is spam emails & non-stop calls. Don’t waste your time people. I completed multiple surveys only to receive nothing but irritation in return.

  5. Thought I was paying shipping cost for a free bottle of keto lean but was charged 93$ 2 weeks later! Scam alert
