If You Watch Ads, Virgin Mobile Will Give You Free Minutes
Tuesday May 30, 2006
In a move that reminds me of when AllAdvantadge.com used to pay people to watch ads -- which didn't succeed -- Virgin Mobile think they may have a good take to the concept: "Be paid to watch ads". Starting June 14, Virgin will give you one free minute per 30-second commercial watched on your computer or received on your phone as a text message. Furthermore, you need to answer questions on the ads you just saw.

Assuming that viewing an ad and answering a question will take about 1 minute, this means an average of $12 to $15 per hour in free minutes at an average value of 20 cents per minute, with a maximum of 75 per month. But that's without mentioning the hypnotic effect these ads will have on you to make you spend more.

that crap doesnt work i watched all the adds and it still hasnt given me the minutes for it yet so dont belive any of their lies
Justin, I don’t wanna talk for them but I’m sure a company like Virgin has no interest in ripping their customers off of 1 minute here and there. I’d recommend calling their tech support before concluding that they are ripping you off. Good luck. Eric
they are lying it never works the suck and they want you to watch those stupid ads and never give you any minutes the cellphones person is from virgin mobile
Justin, you must be doing something wrong because every time i watch an add and reply i get my min. i dnt think there trying to ripp you off, i think your full of a bunch of bull.
