The great thing about that banner..... You in all reality have to do 2 of three different types to give you a total of 6 offeres that you have to pay for. One being a car loan and another being an up front of $400.00. I just got done reading the terms and conditions. What a scam.

The only problem is that the iMac is not for review it is a gift for you to keep if you purchase 6 items so that you can even review any items at all. Those are the terms. They will not send you anything untill you buy 2 things from them and you wont get the iMac untill you buy 6 things.

That explains it, to be honest I hadn't really checked into it. Who would check into it hoping to get an imac.

Well who wouldn't want a free iMac? Anyone in here that would reject a new iMac? No? Didn't think so. Plus it is good to analyze things like that to see how some companies might try to sucker you into buying something, this would come in handy to answer the origonal question of this thread.
