Even if it is semi legit, you have to except six "low cost" offers. They don't list what the offers are or how much they cost and it looks like they drag it out for a while. I'd stay clear of anything like this.

bingo

most of these "free" whatever deals involve signing up for 5-10 "offers" which cost you a little bit, and end up being around 75% of the cost of the "gift" or whatever you're getting

but the hassle of signing up for all of them and hounding the companies to make sure you CANCEL the offers and don't get repeatedly charged makes it almost never worth the hassle

(see: free ipod, free video games, etc scams of the past)

you'll get your GC or whatever the gift is but not without a lot of work, generally more than it's worth for saving a paltry $50
