We understand that a lot of users can't purchase CSC directly from the cash shop, either because of the economy or because they just don't have the ability to. That's why last year we started accepting the Ultimate Gaming Card!
Now, we're offering Sponsor Deals which are as simple as watching an advertisement, for a few Cash Shop Credits. Like it says on the page, make sure to read the fine print below the advertisement, and always use your best judgement before giving out personal information! If you are worried about your personal information, you can read about the company that we've partnered with here.

I hope some of the links get fixed. My computer almost caught several viruses off of them.
Pretty sure I got a virus from one of these adds. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_wink.gif" border="0" />
Not too happy about that.
I guess it's my fault, but I don't see why these are needed.

I love sponsor deals! However, I hate how half of the deals turn up nothing, and are little more than a waste of time... Hopefully that won't be the case here.
I have done a bunch of these and only gotten credit for a few of them... the rest i have had to 'contact support' they say it will take 1-4 days to address this... I hope they resolve it and get these offers fixed or removed!!!
Sucks when you do the survey and stuff and don't get credit. I am already a netflix customer so that sucks lol I'd love 2k CSC.
I just clicked on the link and it re-directed me to entirely different page...is that suppose to happen?
POKEMONESS; I've noticed that the links change on almost a daily basis (?), so maybe the videos have been taken down.
For example: I've clicked several survey links that said that the offer was no longer available, and some links have showed up that I have not noticed before.

I've already earned 136 CSC. The ads are not in your face (like Neopets) and some of them are quite easy to do.
Some links I don't trust, others I do. Usually sites have little to no control with what their sponsors put in their ads, since sponsors want advertising freedom (even if it means putting up malicious links :/) I've had no problem with viruses or anything of that sort because I use my better judgement...
Running a site costs money, and I'm glad Subeta has not resorted to crazy, in-your-face advertising like Neopets and other sites have, or resorted to having their players pay-to-play. All I have to say, really, is thanks. x3

Can you only do the videos a certain amount of times? Because I've watched the 3 videos that originally showed up for me IDK how many times, now the only one that shows up is one that gives 2 CSC. x.x
This is better than ads all over, and actually pays users to consider offers (with fake money of course). I like it, I'm sure it won't morph into MC DONALD'S BURGER GRAB GAME.
Also, don't ever download anything. Toolbars, applications, games... DON'T DO IT. They DO give viruses and I've tested.
Oh my goodness, this is a bad idea. I play several MMO games that have this very same thing - and guess what? A friend tried to do it, downloaded some game, which completely destroyed her computer. These "free offers" are flooded with viruses and other computer-eating infections. I am very disappointed in this... I was praying I wouldn't see such a thing here.
If someone plans on doing this, a tip: USE A TRASH E-MAIL, BECAUSE THESE COMPANIES /WILL/ SPAM YOU. Don't ever do any offers requiring credit card/cell phone info, since those will actually bill you.
I just can't believe I'm seeing this here. I really can't.

I don't understand why everyone is freaking out so much. The site has ads in two places, both of which are beneficial to users. If you don't like them, don't go to those pages or get Adblock. It's not that hard to avoid them.
It costs a lot of money to keep a site up and running and Keith has managed to come up with some very creative ways to get that money. He could have raised the prices in the cash shop, or make it so all users have to pay to play the site, but instead he managed to come up with a way that helps everyone.
Subeta is far from Neopets. Neopets has, what, 5 ads per page? Not to mention they don't bother to look into what their site is advertising, where as Keith has clearly done that. This is new. It hasn't even been up a day yet, so yes, I'm sure there will be some problems and some sketchy sites. But I also trust Keith and the rest of the staff will take care of it. Subeta, unlike other sites, has never been one to ignore when something goes wrong.
I did a couple offers and got close to 500 csc without anything harmful getting on my computer. All it takes is a bit of common sense. If something seems sketchy to you, just don't do it. Nobody is forcing you to. But to those who use the cash shop often, or just those who would like to, I think this is something nice to try, and I also think it's a great addition the site.

oh god, they're ALL super sketch <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_confused.gif" border="0" />;;; whyyyyy
i see that the concept is good, and i tried a few offers, but i sort of feel bad about the people who pay real money for their csc or work super hard to buy it with sp. The CSC will deflate, and these people will have paid more for their csc than its worth.
i also agree with most of the users here and fear that the site will have ads everywhere eventually. I think these should be a limited time only thing <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

Hmm. To get my "free" CSC I have to buy something from the sponsors...?
I guess this is something that will make it easier for people from some countrys to get CSC and harder for others in smaller countrys. I want to be happy for the ones this works for but I just feel a little irritaded... <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/smiley_sadface.gif" border="0" />

Ugh, one of the reasons I liked Subeta was that they didn't have these bullshit things. Screw this, I ain't touchin' 'em. I'm gonna keep getting my CSC the old-fashioned way: sP or PayPal.
At least the ads are all on one single page, and not littered everydamnwhere like on Neo. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/smiley_xface.gif" border="0" />

Last time I did this kinda thing for "virtual money" I was getting over 1K of spam mail a week. Im still getting some to this day. I aint gonna d/l anythin so surveys only for me. Right over to my brand new email.
@BloodyClaw
Same, but I already used that once and it worked fine.
We already have most kind of payments except for mobile payments so I hope they add something like that soon, would be easier for many people I guess ^^;

@BloodyClaw and Harkness
The offers depend on the country you live in. USA probably has a lot more than e. g. Switzerland, Austria etc.

Interesing. Few hours ago I saw thing like "Pay with cell phone". I have some spare cash on mine so I wanted to check the prices and now it's... Gone?
I also only see two link. I HAD a link to a video ...but it vanishes shortly after the news was posted.
I wonder why it shows me only 2 offers while everyne is talking about watching videos? :/
Haha, I just downloaded something and my computer told me it was a virus. I don't trust these things, anyways. I dont like to give personal information and stuff...
YAY! I love you don't need a credit card because mom doesn't like credit cards! wait, you get cash shop credits for watching the movies, or you have to pay credits? <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />

I hope we won't end up like neopets...-scared-
Several of the survey links say "within minutes" and I'm still waiting for my CSC. When I go to the help link, it asks for proof. Some of these aren't sending proof emails. This is a gyp.
I had the same issue as Johnnie with the face bar thingy. I registered and restarted my browser and have even restarted my computer since then (last night) and no CSC. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" />
I agree that it's a good idea in theory, but the truth is that many of these offers don't work. And most of them put you on spam lists and can give you viruses.
Thank you for thinking of your users, but I'm not going to be using this.

Thanks Subeta <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" /> I love the surveys, I happen to fit into a lot of them lol. And also, perfect timing on one with the auto insurance quote- my hubby had just asked me to get a new one and see if we might want to switch to something cheaper <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif" border="0" /> Getting CSC to do that makes my day <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif" border="0" />
What means "Status: Viewed"? I have downloaded, registered and installed this software (my comp is almost dead anyway <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />), but still see this and no CSC =)
And why it shows only two offers to me?

Well nice for the Subeta people to make even more moneys. But there is no way i will fire out my personal information like this.
I got my credits in a few min, when you download something you can always take it off your computer after you get the credits, i buy from online stores all the time, I hate going shopping anymore, love online buying
Credit card information required to receive Cash Shop Credits within minutes.
Purchase required to receive Cash Shop Credits within minutes.
Eh, it's a nice feature, but very useless for me since I have only 2 offers offered (and one of the sites is like banned by my country's Tax and Customs Board). xD
I do hope the CSC deflates thanks to this.

There must be different offers for different areas (I'm in Finland). I only see a handful of offers, none where you could earn under 100 CSC, and nothing where you don't have to either buy something or give personal information. One of the links goes to a page for joining a contest that ended in 2009, and another says it's for a survey but goes to a market study where you order a handheld scanner and scan your groceries!
So far, for me, the whole thing is useless.
