GetItFree Exposed — Is It Fake or Real?
GetItFree Review
They say nothing is for free and GetItFree.us is just one more example. It doesn’t seem to matter what you click on, it takes you to another site where they want you to register, take the survey and/or jump through other hoops. So it might not cost you money, but it certainly costs you time. Of course to top it off, then I find out I couldn’t win because I wasn’t a resident of the United States.
What Is GetItFree?
If you are a resident of the United States, you have the opportunity to receive things for free (freebies), coupons, deals (discounts on purchasing things) and sweepstakes (raffles). There is also a video and blog menu where you can click and watch or read. The things for free are pretty cool, though you’ve got to individually register for each. Some of the sweepstakes take you to the advertiser’s home page and some pop you into another raffle site. The rules depend on where you are, so check them out. Well, if you can get to them. Many of the sites check out your IP and won’t let you go further unless you are in the US of A.
Who Can Participate?
This site is “for United States use only”. There are a few sweepstakes and freebies that people from Canada, Australia and New Zealand can play or get but they are far and few between.
What Are the Prizes Offered by GetItFree.us?
The Shelby Car sweepstakes particularly caught my eye. There is a heap of prizes in the sweepstakes ranging from a Cuisinart Deep Fryer, prizes from Martha Stewart (daily), to win $5,000 to a Camero. Coupons are mostly for groceries – okay boring. Discounts are available from everything to a special dog harness to power tools. The freebies mostly include sample sizes for health drinks and skin care products.
Who Owns GetItFree?
Clicking around getitfree.us, there is no information on who actually owns this site. They are based in California or so they say. There is a support email address, online form and email address if you’d like to advertise on this site. Oh, and there is the name of their legal agent for any infringement with a PO Box address in San Diego.
What Are the Terms & Conditions?
The terms and conditions are pretty thorough about the site, though focuses on protection issues versus how you get your prizes, coupons or freebies. For each of these, you need to check the specific rules or terms & conditions of each game/freebie that you go into.
How to Collect a Prize?
Ditto with getting your prize. Each sweepstake has its own rules and regulations so you’ve got to go in and check out when a draw ends, whether you have to do anything to enter and how you receive your prize. This gets pretty time consuming. Coupons and discounts are automatic, meaning you get them after you enter your details. I guess the freebies come in the mail and that depends on how quickly they are processed.
GetItFree Feedback and Complaints
Once you get by the link advertising, there is a heap of complaints on receiving junk emails and advertising. Several comments listed all the different stuff that was received as a direct result of registering for a prize – none of which came from the original sweepstake.
Is GetItFree.com Scam or Legit?
This is not a scam, but instead looks like it is a data miner that is after your contact details to share with advertisers. There are no complaints that people didn’t get what they asked for whether it be prizes, coupons, discounts or freebies.
Bottom Line at GetItFree.us
If you do live in the United States, you could have some fun with this site. There are some good prizes though given some of the comments regarding the spam aspect, I’d make sure you use a standalone email address.
Pros:
Great Range of Prizes
Coupons and Discounts for Things
Things for Free
Cons:
Only for US Residents
Different Rules for Each Offer
Spam, Spam and more SPAM?
This site gets a thumb’s down for the time for going into each and every site to play, get a freebie, receive your coupon or get a discount. There’s got to be an easier way to win.
Gale Joiner
Never could claim prizes. Is this a scam? Would rate less than one.
Kay
Thumbs down from me …its all spam spam spam from this guys, they allow non us residents register but don’t allow them to receive rewards??.. I say its a scam!
Al Hart
Piece of crap!!!
Tried to play the game, but could never WIN.
They are dishonest and UNDERPERFORM.
Disappointed
I went through the same nonsense as everyone else weeks ago when it began popping up as an ad on Words with Friends 2. Just like with Publishers Clearing House, you can think you’re done, but you’re never going to be done. Always one more screen to fill out over and over and the screens all look alike even for different products. Then the emails and text msgs start slamming in. Most annoying too, are the ones that claimed I showed an interest in that item when several of them were ones that I deliberately avoided, especially medicare. They ignore that and contact you anyway. I have not received any of the promised items at all, but I saw a few people here saying they did. I didn’t want to give it any stars, but your site isn’t acknowledging the minus sign. To be clear, ‘Get it free’ does not deserve any. They are not worth the time answering surveys, let alone reading the small print on each one…where they probably buried any disclosure that they are data mining.

I have never gotten anything free from “Get It Free.” It was a waste of my time. Please remove my name and information from your website.
Cynthia Turner
I keep doing the surveys and NOT GETTING NO WHERE!! SCAMMERS
M Richar
I am very careful with this site and have learned which things to click on and which to avoid. Anything that says you have won a $100 gift card just ignore it unless you want to jump through hoops and pay by signing up for & completing task. If I get an email from them and it says I get a free gift card(no amount stated) I click through and complete the same old silly survey and bypass all offers on my way to the goal. Sometimes it works out, sometimes not but I never sign up for or buy anything. I have gotten AMC gift cards, Taco Bell gift cards in the mail, and an Amazon e-gift card by clicking through. All have been $5 amounts. It’s something I guess but free since I never pay for or buy anything.

NO STARS IF POSSIBLE. Fake. Beware. Just wasting your time and I believe they sell your info.
Laura
What a waste of time! Don’t do it unless you just have time to waste and waste! Every sweepstakes and such takes you to different pages after pages and you never get anywhere. You can never really submit your information to enter the sweepstakes. It’s a bunch of bull. This site needs to be shut down.
Anthony
Worthless waste of time. You have to click through so many offers with no way to decline any of them. And you get so tired of it that you eventually just close everything and you never get anything free. It’s nothing but a scam…
DOROTHY WOLFE
Have signed up with this place so many times and never gotten the first them from them. All they ever do is ask questions about stuff and want you to sign up for other things. THEY NEVER SEND YOU ANYTHING THINK IT’S A TRUE RIP OFF
Ben
Got an email from them a few weeks ago saying my Makita drill set was on its way. Even got a shipping number which was actually valid. The other day a yellow envelope shows up and I was like wtf lol. Inside what a word search and a star drill bit…… Far from the Makita Drill set they said… Scam all the way. Stay away!!!
Dick
Tried several times for tools and have received nothing or my time. It’s been several months since the first try so they’ve had time to process.
Tom
All the 5 star ratings are fake. I tried to get free stuff about 10 times and nothing but empty promises and flat out lies. Lies all lies. I cant stand a liar
Stacy Hickox
Like so many others, I have tried numerous times to get “free” stuff and always the same thing…A bunch of “junk mail’s” and unfilled promises. Definitely a SCAM website.
Justhane
Spent ten minutes trying to find these freebies. A week later got spam emails.
Mary Poling
“Get it Free” is a worthless site that sells your information and you will never receive not 1 free item from them. Only headaches from the 100s of other sites calling and emailing you every day…
Tammy jo evans
like y’all I’ve tried it too and it is a scam I’ve been promised so many things and say congratulations you got this blah blah blah I have not received anything and my dewalt drill set I haven’t received it I haven’t received anything and now when I go on there and try to do the survey to get another thing it won’t even let me get to where I’m supposed to go it just keeps sending me over and over to this that and the other back to 2016 with freebies they have supposedly given out.
Linda Edwards
I love get it free. It is legitimate and I look forward to receiving my items.
Susie Brown
Super easy an fun with no cost to me gotta love this stuff that’s free
kc berg
Got DeWalt tool today. (i forgot about it that I subscribed it for a while)
Thank you Get it free.
Nancy Nguyen
The surveys don’t always take me to my freebie and direct me to something else but then again get it free is the only site that has actually sent me something for free
Doryan Roman

Jackie G
I have redeemed a lot of samples from get it free such as makeup, money, and gift cards! I am expecting a CoverGirl mascara when it arrives I will give 5 stars
Olga Lukecha
I got amazing mask! It was very refreshing and nice to my skin – gonna açaí this test. At first I didn’t believe that it would even be close to good, but being completely honest – it was very good to my dry skin
John Williams
Awesome products with the highest of quality..have not got knockoffs or had to sign up for other things just to try out anything they offer
Paula Cooper
This is my favorite website I have been blessed with all the free items from get it free. This is the real deal not a bunch of run around trying to figure out how to get your free sample. Best ever everyone should give it a try. Thanks again get it free love it
Mark Glass
I got a Dewalt chuck for my drill let me tell you it was very useful when putting screws in. Get it free very cool thanks for everything look forward to get more free things
SteveEbey73701
Links in the emails they send me, go to a blank page at google.com and the unsubscribe link does the same thing. Have sent a message to email and got nothing back. Considering filing a class action against them if I can find enough people to make a class. If interested, post here, I will check the comments regularly
Gladson Samson
They say nothing is for free and GetItFree.us is just one more example. It doesn’t seem to matter what you click on, it takes you to another site.
Tanya
There are so many items like tools and food products to restaurant and store gift cards that I’ve received simply from taking short surveys and filling in information. And all these gifts were completely FREE! This has been the best FREE site I’ve come across in years! Highly recommended!
Georgia L Holcomb
I hear a lot of good things and for that I give the 4 stars. I personally have not received anything from the site no matter how much I fill out and for that I give you a -. Please change my mind.
Bella
I actually got an eyeliner for free. I actually wasn’t expecting it at all because usually this is all a scam but I mean, i got it for free.
Neil wilson
It’s a scam. In small print it says you must return the product in 2 weeks if not wanted. They then charge you triple the price, yes triple. I contacted the California attorney general, and a review is in process.
Ronnie Rogers
Its a little difficult to learn how to start getting samples
James McClure
Got it free! Dewalt drill bit extension. Thank you.
Laura Dean
I’ve received some great samples! A few seem to be missing, but I am a fan of get it free.
Shelby
I received a free Sharpie marker in the mail today! As a nurse, I use Sharpies every day & can testify that there isn’t a better permanent marker on the market. Thanks, GetItFree!
Lori
It’s not a scammer it’s actually real and I’m happy about that and they also give you tiny little cute samples that I think are the best.??
Christopher Guajardo
Is a great website for free gift cards free Nike stuff free everything at first because I saw all the negative reviews on Get It Free. Us and then my first shipment came out to me today and that’s when I realized oh no it’s not scam this company actually sends freebies
Randy Miller
Received my Dewalt drill bit today. Thank you very much, I like it and added it to the rest of my tools!
Miloni Shah
I got Nyx eyeshadow today and I love it. Thank you for the sample. Looking forward to more of it.
nicole
Hi! Today I received in the mail a free NYX soft matte liquid lipstick and I am so happy that you sent it to me. Thank you so much it made my day! I am definitely looking forward to more items!
Tammie Elliott
Got my Dewalt drill bit thing. Not what I was expecting but still nice. Thank you.
Leigha
I need to correct something that was said in this main review. People do not win anything free. Not even sample size portions. I noticed an advertisement one day and thought why not I don’t need to give my credit card information so it won’t hurt to try to sign up for a free Swiffer wet jet. Getitfree sends me dozens of emails per day telling me I have something waiting for me. They are liars and your email address will get sent out to hundreds of other people who will email you daily about things that are too good to be true!
Nikki Rizzo
I love the free samples and coupons that I receive!
Joe MacElrath
Several times I tried to respond to offers and after clicking on page after page, answering all their questions, I was never taken to a page where I could order the sample promised. Don’t waste your time on this one.
Herma J M Huggins
I’d been getting it FREE for over 6 months. Finally, I tried to email about prizes NOTHING….No phone numbers. The public should not have to be subjected to FRAUDULENT websites…..Why haven’t our governments gotten involved…
Jan Galloway
I’m not impressed. I too have taken every survey. And nothing. Except a waste of time. I have unsubscribed several times. And I keep getting the daily text. I have responded with stop and unsubscribed online also. It’s SCAM!
Evelyn Martinez
Hi! I just applied on GetItFree for some free pens and markers. The information process was actually kind of short. Assuming they don’t really need any of that information other than to send spam emails, I put random answers. Also if you keep receiving the daily messages when you’ve said you’ve unsubscribed, just block the number! Have a great day. I will update again if and when my freebies ship.
Penny
Same here I always get it to it free I try to get a free DeWalt drill set I did answer the question I still haven’t got it yet
