The Meaning of "With Intent to Participate"

Many people have asked how far into the survey they have to go for offers that say "enter email address with intent to participate." Usually these offers ask for 1) you email address or zip code, 2) your mailing address, 3) To answer some survey questions (mostly yes/no), and 4) for you to complete one or two other offers (most likely CC offers). So how far do you have to go? Some people claim to have gotten offers approved by just entering their email address, but it is recommended that you answer the yes/no questions until you get to the end when the prize appears. You DO NOT have to do the offers at the end to get credit!

Spamming/Telemarketers
A common question about completing free offers is, "Will I get junk mail/phone calls if I give out my personal information?" The answer, in short, is yes. If you give out your email address, you will definitely get spam email. But a good way to counteract that is to get more email addresses - that way, the spam won't get in the way of your other emails. As for giving out your mailing address, most people have found that they don't get too much junk mail, and nothing inappropriate. If you give out your phone number, you may get some phone calls.

Approval Rates
Tons of people have been asking (and complaining) about the approval rates for free offers. So I'll give it to you straight: not all offers will approve the first (or second, or third) time you complete them. To "redo" an offer, you simply go to your Pending Offers, click on the link for the offer you have to redo, and fill in your information again. Most free offers will approve in 1-2 days, so if it hasn't approved in 3 days, it's safe to redo it.
Not all of the offers approve the first time you do them. And approval rates are different for each person- one person could have an offer approve the first time they did it, while another person could have to complete the same offer five times to get it approve. I'm not sure if anyone knows exactly why this is, but there are some steps you can take to increase your approval rate:

1. Alternate between email addresses
If the offer requires an email address, having several different ones to give out greatly increases your chances of having the offer approve. Many people have quite a few email addresses they alternate between.

2. Don't do too many free offers at once
Most people recommend doing about 5 offers a day to maximize your chances of getting approved. Otherwise, you'll find yourself having to redo a lot of offers.

3. Don't clear your cookies while completing an offer
"Cookies" are pieces of info that are put on your computer when you visit a site. If you clear these while doing an offer, the site has no way of knowing that you were there. Some people recommend clearing your cookies before and after doing an offer, but I haven't noticed an increased approval rate from doing that.
The bottom line: be patient. Lots of offers will have to be redone, and persistence is definitely required, but hey... it's a small price to pay for FREE money, isn't it?

Offers
Offers are the most important part. Even without a credit card, you can make over $50 with free offers, and if you have access to a credit card, you can make over $1000. There are many different kinds of offers: 100% Free, Free Trials, Shopping, and Credit Cards. Unfortuanately, if you don't have a credit card, you are basically restricted to the 100% Free section. However, if you get a Visa Gift Card, you can use it as a credit card on offers. This means that if you get a Visa Gift Card with just $5, you can do all the Free Trial offers that don't require any money.

If you have more than one email address, it is good to switch them up between offers, as that is also a method of increasing verification odds. However, do not use emails that don't belong to you or you may get banned!

Don't do all the low-paying offers all in one day. This decreases your chances of verification. If you do 5 a day, then wait till the next day, you have a better chance of verification.

Just because you've made a lot with the low-paying offers is no excuse not to go for higher ones. For younger people (17 and younger), talk with your parents and explain to them how it works, and try to get them to help you make money by having them let you use their credit card.
