I found a site that gives your $20 in free credit if you refer a new customer to them and that person orders. When you refer the new customer, you just put in an email, that person gets $20 in credit.

So....you go into the new account, order something under $20 so its free, and then your original account gets $20 in free credit. You could easily do this 100 times in a day and get 100 free small items and $2000 in credit if you were not morally against it. They don't have anything in place to stop you from doing it, but is it legal?

No, I will not post the name of the site because I don't want you guys stealing!

I've done that on this website before LINK by buying $5 socks and getting credit for it.

only did it twice though cause I really didn't need 100 pairs of socks.

The site I am talking about has tons of items and millions of users. You literally could get thousands of dollars a day in free credit, order the stuff and then sell it on Ebay or something.

Well if we establish it is legal and not stealing maybe I will privately share it with one or two lucky people.

Years ago(circa 2000) online casinos gave bonuses on your opening deposit. 20% 10% etc
I made about $500 that way by depositing $1000 and betting the amount of the bonus, $100 on black $100 on red. Cash out.

I did have one casino's check bounce(they auto refunded your deposit but mailed the bonus). But Playboys, casino-on-net , and some other one paid out.

TLDR, it's not illegal if the system allows you to do that.

To answer your question, it is legal. I've taken advantage of refer a friends for years.

How would it not be legal to use their own promotional rules?

Do you believe the extreme couponers are breaking teh law?

Same thing, bro.

I cannot comment on the legality of this situation, but morally, aren't we all obligated to profit off of other's stupidity (I'm not talking about children/mental retardation/uneducated people). But people who should know better, don't we need to take them to the woodshed. this is the only way they'll learn.

Think of it as an educational opportunity for them and you are the teacher.

Remember those days. Even got a 100% bonus one time. Now they make you bet the bonus 10 times before you can cash it out.

I know it is odd but when I say the rules a lightbulb went off. I tried it with 3 of my old email accounts, shipped the 3 cheapest items I could find to me for free all to the same address, and sure enough I got the $60 in credit on my original account. I haven't spent that credit but its obvious I could get a free item and $20 in credit every 5 minutes or so if I wanted to. All it takes it is making a new gmail, inviting that address to the site and then buying something free and bam $20 more in credit.

Why make a gmail instead of using a site like dispostable?

I am only wondering in this case because it is a bonus for "referring a friend" and you would technically be referring yourself.
