Who Wants a $25 Visa Gift Card?

written by John Chow on July 8th, 2008

Visa Gift Cards

Hey everybody! I have a really cool incentive offer that will make you money, get you free products and help my Top Affiliate Challenge Team XY7.COM win the competition.

I will send you a $25 Prepaid Visa gift card if you order the Online Handbook ($4.95 shipping) and Google SEO Supervisor ($4.95 shipping). Your out of pocket cost is $9.90 so you will make a net profit of $15.10 and you’ll get the two products completely free!

I only have 20 gift cards so the first 20 people who take advantage of this offer will make the money and get the products for free. Order them both, then email me (johnchow @ johnchow.com) your receipt as well as the address to ship the Visa gift card too. There is no catch. You spend $9.90 to get two great products and net a profit $15.10 from the $25 gift card I will send you.

Only 20 cards available so act now and don’t miss out!
This offer is good for US readers only.

I agree. But, then again, $10 is 1/4 of a tank of gas right now!

This is just to show us that we should all cut the crap, and start doing something that will bring more money. I should go to sleep now, it’s 2:56 in the morning here… See you guys tomorrow!

Shouldn’t you be off ruining your contestants chances rather than posting on this ‘how i con people to make money blog’? :idea:

I’m sure the contestants are getting their share too. They don’t seem to disappointed to be dropping like flies. I think they’re just hanging around for their cut when it’s over.

I probably just made $10 reading this post. Maybe if it was like enter your email to win. But not to spend $15 to make $25. Sorry, not enough ROI for me.

I don’t think that it is a bad deal but on the other hand, this is a popular blog and I would be one of the unlucky few who order the stuff and not get a gift card. I like the idea of it though.

I don’t really like using prepaid Credit Cards. Not worth the effort for me sorry.

Anyone not using Credit Cards is CRAZY! I have gotten hundreds of dollars already this year in free merchandise and cash back just for using my Credit Cards (and I pay it off in full every month).

Interesting offer. Good luck to everyone that does it!

Random question John: what camera was used to take that picture? I like the quality.

HOLD ON JOHN. We’re both are Canadian. Is this available to Canadian readers as well? It would be weird if not :lol:

I would have taken this offer but not a US resident.

I think John should do a similar promo for non-US readers in the future, when he’s not under the constraints of a TAC-like environment.

Only 20 people could get the free cards but I guess a lot more signed up for the good info.

OK John, I’m game. These are two good products and you can expect me to give the visa card away on my own blog in August.

James Wilcox said on July 10th, 2008 at 12:42 am

John I ordered both of these, but I had the option of choosing a cheaper delivery cost for the second item. I hope this counts…I hate to say it but the landing page was awful and sped me through the process…maybe too much.

Hardly,all you would have had to do was buy the two things and then send him a email with proof. Its not hard at all. If it took you a hour or a little over thats more than minimum wage.

Mike Huang said on July 10th, 2008 at 6:13 pm

Hmmm, each of those offers usually pay out $10-15 on a “Get Paid To” site, but if John goes directly through the network, he should be earning $30 or more just from the people that sign up to those offers. Smart strategy, but I hope that those offers don’t have more charges…

Mike Huang said on July 10th, 2008 at 6:15 pm

BTW, how many people did this “offer”? If it’s over 20, how would you refund the people that couldn’t make it…? :(

There’s one catch John Didn’t mention…the kit they send you is $35 if you decide to keep it and use it. Of course if you can make more money than that in a short enough time period using what you’ve learned it’s worth it…still waiting to hear from John if I got one of the cards.

I just got the “Online Handbook” which it turns out is an introductory package with no information at all whatsoever by Online Business Systems. John did you read this thing before you pitched it to us? As it turns out, on further investigation, this company wants to sign you up to sell Herbalife and as part of their recruitment system you also sell this “Handbook” to others to get them interested. Not my bag at all and I’m sending this back to avoid the additional $39.95 “to cover the cost of the materials” which amount to a pitch about online marketing (nothing I didn’t already know) and a dvd pitching the same information along with an audio cd of the same. I feel like I was suckered John…but the other thing you offered was worthwhile and has some good information all delivered via pdf files.

John, I received my gift card last week, and when I went shopping on Sunday I was told by the cashier there was only $8.05 on it. What happened to the other $16.95?
