I do like looking into these things sometimes cause i have got some great stuff for free. Looking into it this is what I found.

This is basically a scam. The idea is for you to sign up to the company and then purchase products from their sponcers. The sponcer then pays this company for helping them sign you up and the company then uses that money to send you your "free" gift.

This was taken directly from the source...

"We are a Premium Rewards Network that is committed to rewarding qualified consumers with high end gifts when they participate in marketing promotions. The concept is simple. We work with a select group of sponsors such as Citibank, Blockbuster, and Columbia House that are looking for consumers interested in their offers. When you participate in their offers, they pay us, and that covers the cost of our gift to you! Our members are extremely important to us. We have a great selection of premier gifts to choose from and we only work with a select group of sponsors that we qualify as Best of the Net offers."

So its not a true scam in the fact that you get nothing. I can't comfirm you actually get a gift from the company but you basically spend a bunch of money to get a "free" gift. However I am convinced that this guy is not so much a nice guy that happened to sign up to our forum the same day he found this amazing offer, and instead works for the above mentioned company.
