Free Nintendo Wii Game system?

Today We examine the persuasive "Free Nintendo Wii" Offer

Up to recently there was literally no such thing as a 100% Free (Free meaning: You pay absolutely nothing) offer.

Apparently the old system was based upon consumers not completing enough qualifying offers in the time provided- giving revenue to the company but not the product to the consumer

This site (and in reality it's network of sites/offers) turned that around-in fact since August 15th, 2008 they altered the method for consumers to actually promote and allow 100% free items!

What is the catch? Well simple enough you must complete offers that require $0 $0 Shipping and handling - i.e. free trials or credit cards (sign up for discover card get it and use once-on anything...

so as long as they keep this system you can in fact get anything they offer for free- we will keep an eye on this to see if it stands true- check back for updates

offer example: http://www.games-toys-free.com/rd_p?p=104137&t=6758&gift=22694&a=22694-

This is a SEO catalog page they use SEM (paid listings) to advertise- I would disable the code following the .com but that seems to re-direct you to a default page not the offer...

Free: Truth in Advertising Rules

What truth-in-advertising rules apply to advertisers?
Under the Federal Trade Commission Act:

• Advertising must be truthful and non-deceptive;
• Advertisers must have evidence to back up their claims; and
• Advertisements cannot be unfair

What makes an advertisement deceptive?

According to the FTC's Deception Policy Statement, an ad is deceptive if it contains a statement - or omits information - that:

• Is likely to mislead consumers acting reasonably under the circumstances; and
• Is "material" - that is, important to a consumer's decision to buy or use the product.

What makes an advertisement unfair?
According to the Federal Trade Commission Act and the FTC's Unfairness Policy Statement, an ad or business practice is unfair if:

• it causes or is likely to cause substantial consumer injury which a consumer could not reasonably avoid; and
• it is not outweighed by the benefit to consumers.
