One of the biggest prizes and most popular happen to be Apple products. A free iPhone, Mac Mini, Macbook Pro, etc. A quick Google search undercovers multiple blog posts, or should I say “blog” posts about happy winners who ended up spendinig a little bit of money taking these required “free” offers and getting thousands of dollars worth of Apple for a few hundred bucks.

… Then I start to wonder, how many of these “blog” posts are actually strategically placed advertisements? Wouldn’t you feel better completing some risky free offer if your online friend at some-whack-blog-here.com did it with success? Sure you would. Me? I’ll pass.

Yes, I could spend just a couple hundred bucks on a Free Mac offer that sounds legit, comb through the terms of service, pay some of my friends to take out pre-paid credit cards and help me on this endevear, but what if it fails? What if it was really a scam, or my completed offer doesn’t give me the credit points I need in time? As Steve Jobs says, “Boom.” It can happen. What if I’m spending $200 to $300 per possible scam site? That can add up to a free Mac in no time.

Save up some money and then visit the Apple Store. If you don’t need the money, then it’s “free.”
