This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Scam, scam, scam. I went to the website www.getitfree.us and found their free offer. They offered several samples completely for free, but I needed to reply to several questions and surveys. I wasted about an hour, ‘coz the website redirected me to other websites and surveys. It was real scam, so please be careful and post comments about you things with them. Total scam, so don’t deal with them and post comments about your experience with this company.

How can you say its a scam when you admit yourself that you do get samples for free. It sounds to me that your mad because you had to give your address sometimes and fill out surveys. How is it a scam? They never even asked for shipping. I don't know what i will and wont receive but it will be interesting to find out.

It's a scam, everything that OP said is true, you get nothing but time wasting surveys and non-stop telemarketers trying to sell you the crap you said you didn't want in the surveys. I'm getting calls from Japan for Christ sake !, I don't know anybody in Japan. And there is no way to unsubscribe, once they have their hooks in you your trapped.
Avoid like the plague is my advice.

I received a Sharpie . black fine point from getitfree.com in less than 3 weeks after filling out my info. I have filled out hundreds from different sites. And getitfree.com has sent me about 75 percent of what i apply for.
If companys run out then u were too slow.

I'd like to know where "Government Name" saw anything in the complaint about the person actually getting any of the supposed free samples. It says they 'offered' several samples, not that the complainer qualified for any of them.

And read other reviews of the site, sounds like well over 1/2 of the people who have tried to use the site, haven't gotten so much as a single sample as a result.

These comments made me go back and re-read the site, as I became suspicious. This is the fine print at the bottom of the first page of the site:

"We cannot guarantee that you will receive any of the Offers that you request, as Offers are subject to availability and are often made by other entities. Offers distributed by GetItFree are limited in quantity, and GetItFree reserves the right to substitute sample product based on availability. Offers that are not distributed by GetItFree are monitored by other entities, and we are not responsible if such Offers are no longer available, change, if you do not receive the Offers, if you do not qualify for the Offers, or if any other issues arise."

Translation: We can't guarantee that you will even receive any of these offers. We have the right to substitute what you thought you were trying to get with anything we want. Besides, you might get nothing, and we are not responsible for that. Oh, and you will have to "qualify" for the offer, which means taking a survey or giving us your personal information so we can sell--ahem, USE it as we wish. If we decide to send you something, we might.

I think they just want your information so they can sell it. Offering free stuff is how they get it. It's like fishing. Companies use all kinds of tricks on the internet

It's lie. It's a bold face lie. Get lt free has no intention of giving anyone anything free. They lie to get contact information to sell. I challenge anyone who has received free stuff to come forward.

It's a total scam, the only thing free is the survey information they get for free. I've tried for 6months. The offers in emails are NEVER offered on the site, and when you finally DO get to samples and request them, they never come. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME.

This website "Get it Free" is a total scam. They direct you to one survey after another, and slowly extract vital information from you. I have never received one item from them, although I have gone through numerous surveys and questionnaires. I highly recommend staying far away from this bogus site.

I agree and disagree. You don't appear to get any samples after taking repeated survey after survey.

BUT...

I don't think these surveys, which ask the EXACT same questions over and over again, are being logged by any system. There's no way this information would be purchased by any entity looking for credible data. I think the idea is to lure you into clicking one of the many ads, with just so happens to correspond with whatever answer you chose, and redirected to sites with additional offers. It's possibly just exposing you to ads to generate ad revenue.

Legitimate surveys (even if the surveyor is gathering the data for illegitimate reasons) will ask you to create an account, so the data can be measured properly. Not to mention, so you won't be asked the same questions again and again with no way of knowing if the same person answered them. So, yes, I agree you're probably never going to receive any samples. But the site is likely just trying to cycle you through ads.

Well I also fell for this "getitfree" scam, and yes it is very much so a scam. why do I say this? just like everyone else who also say "lots and lots of time for only one survey" so they say. 4 days, 10-12 hours a day for one survey, so they say. only I did receive something in the mail, I was called and told by a getitfree rep. that my $100 amazon gift card was on its way, I just needed to give my cc numbers to them for shipping and handling for my "totally free $100 amazon gift card". so I did, my badd... but 4 days later I received a bottle of dietery supplament capsules. some people say "if you don't like it then don't do it and quite crying about it" well there are some idiots who do it anyway not to mention any names "myself" so I looked for every address they gave me for all the componys they're site was from on my maps app on my phone. some addresses I found in the middle of a baseball field at a elementry school, some were found in a lake, and god only knows where else. either way don't be an idiot like me and fall for this scam. I honestly don't know how people like this can get away with such a thing but lesson learned I guess. by the way, just after they took my card numbers the next day my bank told me I was overdrawn from many purcheses made from who really knows. and after all this I still never got my free amazon gift card...

For those of you that say that you have not received, there will be a couple reasons for that. 1) NEVER DO ANY THAT REQUIRE ANY SURVEYS. Those you will never receive anything by scam emails from. 2) You did not complete the proper process completely. 3) They had discontinued that particular offer. Or 4) because some do ask for a small shipping charge and you did not pay and I X out of that and do not pay myself either. I have been on getitfree.us for about 3 years. There is only one thing that I have never received from that site and that was a black and white pug dog salt and pepper shaker. I have requested it twice and never received it. But if you click on the proper link and do not get a survey or a request to pay the shipping cost, you get the free stuff. I have gotten ring sizers, stickers, vegetable seeds, dirt text kits, construction and landscape samples, upholstery samples, test products, Bible study books and Bibles and LARGE print bibles, etc. They do what they say. But here is the thing. STOP BLAMING THEM. They are nothing more than an avenue for you to get free things. They themselves are the not the ones that are actually giving you free things.

Get it free is definitely a scam...did exactly what they asked with all that survey junk. And when when it was time to except the sample it said that could not be found. I did it again and it was a complete run a round. I agree it’s just a fishing lure to get info, and then when they have it they harasses u like the telemarketers that call u nonstop even after u request to be taken of the list.

Signing up for get It Free the samples I have filled out those surveys time and time again never ever getting to the end of the survey a survey is in my eyes to better a product or to find out what products people like. But I end up lying halfway through the surveys just to say no to this no to that of that finally I get frustrated I close out.

I replied to two different emails to verify my address for two different gift cards plus an additional Amazon card. This was back in December of 2023. I contacted the company's customer service in March and asked them why I should keep answering their emails when I hadn't received my gift cards. I then provided the information they wanted. They replied on April 15, 2024, that it took 4-8 weeks to receive items and to have patience. I replied that it was past that threshold, and I have not heard from them since. There is a reason that they have an 'F' rating with the BBB. I wish that I had learned all of this before I got involved with them.
