So How Does The Rewards Program Work?
Certain incentive promotion programs (each, a “Program”) are made available on this website (“Site”), as operated by Net Radiance, the Site’s owner ("Company"). By applying on the Site, consumers can attempt to qualify to receive a variety of gifts from us (“Gift”) after fulfilling the applicable Program participation requirements (“Program Requirements”).  The Program, Program Requirements and any and all other aspects of the Site, are governed by the Site Terms and Conditions (“Terms and Conditions”).  To access our Terms and Conditions, please click on the link at the bottom of this page.  To the extent that anything contained herein contradicts or is in any way inconsistent with the Terms and Conditions, the Terms and Conditions shall control in all respects.

Qualification for Gifts is based on satisfactory completion of a requisite number of Offers.  Offers include Company Offers and third party Offers.  Some Offers are hosted on the Company’s websites and others are hosted by third party partners.  Offers from third party advertisers that participate in our Program (“Third Party Partners”) are often hosted by the third party advertisers who pay us to send consumers to their websites, where these consumers consent to receive their solicitations and/or where consumers participate in their Programs. We reward consumers with the applicable Gift with free shipping in exchange for satisfactory completion of the requisite number of Offers and adhering to all of the applicable Program Requirements!

By providing your personal contact information by and through the Site, you grant Company, and its Third Party Partners and other affiliates and third parties, the right to use such information for any and all purposes set forth in the privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”).  To access our Privacy Policy, please click the link at the bottom of this page.  To the extent that anything contained herein, or in the Terms and Conditions, contradicts or is in any way inconsistent with the Privacy Policy, the Privacy Policy shall control in all respects.

Easy Steps to Get Your Gift

To receive the Gift associated with the applicable Program, you must complete the following steps:

1. Register for your Membership with us by providing accurate, valid and complete contact information (you must provide your full legal name, postal address, land line or mobile telephone number and valid e-mail address) as requested so that we know where to ship your Gift, and other commercial communications as set forth in the Privacy Policy. You will not receive your Gift if you provide false, invalid or incomplete information during the registration process or thereafter.

2. For example, a promotion, Microsoft Xbox, you must complete a total of 3 offers as follows: Page 1 - complete any 1 offer; Page 2 - complete any 1 offer; Page 3 - complete any 1 offer to get your gift. You must complete the Program exactly as indicated on each applicable page of the Site and in the applicable Program Requirements in order to complete the Program currently featured on the Site (the “Incentive Gift”). If you do not correctly, and fully, complete the number of Offers required on each page, you will not be entitled to a Gift. If you have any questions, please contact us.

Examples of Offers required by the Program Requirements of our Third Party Partners include, but are not limited to, trial offers, credit cards, free quote requests, product offers, service offers and other low-cost or commercial Offers. Typically, there are a variety of Offers presented for your selection on the applicable pages of the Site - some Offers require a purchase to be made, while others are free trials that convert to paying obligations if not canceled or free applications that do not require an initial purchase (and can be cancelled without obligation if you do not want to consent to the purchase after the free period ends).

To 'complete' an Offer, you must sign up for the applicable Offer, get approval for your application from the applicable Third Party Partner, (where applicable) get activated by the applicable Third Party Partner for such Third Party Partner’s Offer and meet any and all other conditions and steps required by such Third Party Partner for that Offer. For some credit card Offers, the card must be activated by making a purchase, balance transfer or cash advance in order for the Offer to be considered 'completed'.

When our Third Party Partners report to us that you have completed the requisite number of Offers associated with the Program, to their full and complete satisfaction, which they may withhold for any reason in their sole discretion, your account (“Member Account”) will be updated accordingly and you will receive a Gift redemption voucher (“Gift Redemption Voucher”) from us. It will typically take between four (4) to six (6) weeks before we get confirmation of your completion of the requisite Offers associated with the subject Program from the applicable Third Party Partners. The Gift Status section of your Member Account shall indicate the results of this process, so please be patient and be sure to check the Gift Status section of your Member Account regularly. Be sure to print out and keep the pages showing that you have signed up for each Offer as you complete same.

3. Check the Gift Status section of your Member Account at least weekly.  Print out and mail your Gift Redemption Voucher when you receive same in your Member Account. Be sure to check the Gift Status section of your Member Account regularly so that you know when your Gift Redemption Voucher is available for you to print out, complete and mail in for your Gift. You must send in your Gift Redemption Voucher within ninety (90) days after your Gift Redemption Voucher is made available to you in the Gift Status section of your Member Account or your Gift Redemption Voucher will expire and you will not be entitled to receive your Gift. Once you have sent in your Gift Redemption Voucher, the Gift Status section of your Member Account will be updated. Be sure to keep a copy of your Gift Redemption Voucher. Upon our receipt of your properly completed Gift Redemption Voucher, it will take six (6) to eight (8) weeks to ship you your Gift. Please be patient.

How much will the Gift cost me?
Your Gift, including shipping and handling, is free upon completion of the requisite Offers associated with each Program and Gift.

Some Third Party Partners require you to purchase products and/or services, sign up for a paying membership or participate in a trial offer for products, services or membership that may convert to payment obligations if not canceled within the free trial period. Others require approval or activation of an account (For some credit card-related Offers, the card must be activated by making a purchase, transferring a balance or getting a cash advance for the applicable Offer to be considered “complete”).

In case of any discrepancy or an audit regarding the completion of your Offers, you may be required to provide proof of completing the Offers in question, along with associated statements.  In order to protect you, we may request proof of identification, especially when fraud or identity theft may be suspected.

Our Programs are presented to customers by invitation only.  This means that you will only receive valid links through our e-mail advertisements, pop-up advertisements, and/or web page banners.  Links obtained through friends or other venues usually are obsolete and will not enable you to qualify for Gift redemption.

The notary section of our Confirmation Form and our Gift Redemption Voucher are present for your protection, as well as ours.  This notarization assures us that you are the person who qualified for the Gift, and assures you that no other person purporting to be you can claim your Gift.

You will not be able to receive credit for your participation in the Program if you do not complete the Offer through our Site. You must complete the Offers from our Third Party Partners precisely as set forth on the Site in order to receive a Gift.

Is there anything else I should know?
