  You telling me, I went through the entire Hepatitis medical survey including the mandated PDF download in order to get 120 credits. And gave them my email for web health emails (SPAM). And at the end I got a whopping 5 credits for my time. Took 20 minutes just for the survey and the real kicker was that I didn't even get a  disqualifying message for not passing the survey. So watch out for this survey.

  My point in the original post is that these are not my words, but are WGT's.  So for all the people (except people in my country club - lol) that feel duped by the 'free' credit sources, remember that WGT did warn you.

  There is a Latin phrase that we should all know....  :)    you know what i'm talk'n bout  :)

  If we have to pay, it's not exactly free credits, is it? I'd rather call it a rebate!

  The operative verb here is "EARN".

  1. to gain or be paid (money or other payment  Credits) in return for work or service.

  Having to work or give service excludes any "free giveaway".

  It should read "Earn credits for shopping online."

  It does say that! The OP just did a cut and paste from the offer page.

  No it doesn't!  It says "Earn free WGT Credits by.....shopping online"

  The word free is the whole point here.
