Guest Post By Nicole from Nicole’s Nickels:

I recently got a Wii and a Wii Fit delivered via FedEx to my doorstep. I paid just $36.34 out of pocket for them! It may seem unbelievable but it’s true. I clicked on a banner, the kind you’ve probably see every day on the Internet – advertising a $500 giftcard or in my case, a Wii and a Wii Fit. You probably haven’t clicked on these as they scream scam! They aren’t – they’re actually legit and with some careful reading and close directions following, you can receive the prize you select in about 8 weeks!Here are 5 sample offers (I chose the first):Wii and Wii Fit
$500 Target Gift Card
$100 Visa Giftcard
Blackbery Pearl Flip Phone (Unlocked)
$100 in Restaurant giftcards

Choose your prize (the higher the value the more offers you will have to complete) and enter your email address (I do a new one for each one of these that I do) and then register your information. I keep a spreadsheet with all of my information – you should copy and paste the terms and conditions from the first page into the spreadsheet. Make sure you know how many offers you need to do in each category to qualify for the prize. Skip to the last page where it says “platinum offers” and start there since there are the fewest (and most expensive) offers on that page.

Complete the required number of offers, making sure to copy and paste each offer’s terms and conditions into your spreadsheet. Please note that you cannot do more than one offer from the same parent company and this may require some research. You may want to get a Visa giftcard from your bank to use for these offers. You could also use a virtual credit card number – check your credit card’s website to see if they offer this service. My Citibank and Discover do!

On the spreadsheet, document the following information about each offer: name, website, price of trial, length of trial, price of monthly membership, number to call to cancel, copy and paste the entire terms and conditions. This spreadsheet will come in handy should you want to cancel any of the trials.

Do the required number of offers in 1 sitting and give yourself 2-3 hours to get them all done. Make sure all offers you did show as “pending” when you log back in on the main page to “check gift status”. If all offers haven’t changed from “pending” to “approved” by day 13 you may need to do some replacement offers. Replacement offers credit within a few days. Once all offers have approved, you will be able to print a redemption certificate and a W-9 to mail to the company. You should mail these documents with delivery confirmation (not signature confirmation or certified mail) and wait for your status to change to “processed”. If this doesn’t happen within 2 weeks of the postal service’s website showing the company received your documents, send them an email. Once processed, just sit back and wait for your prize. I did my offers on December 29 and had my prize February 20. It took me 3 hours total and cost $36.34 for my Wii and Wii Fit.
