Grant offers now pre-authorize the credit cards of consumers for approximately $80 to thwart off people with vcc's, and gift cards. You might notice your conversions for grant offers going down because of this.

Some consumers are hip to the free trial gimmick and don't want to be billed again so they use gift cards, not gonna work no more.

Works fine for me, considering I make over $200/day with them and have been paid by my networks.

Hey pofecker, do you have any tips on making that much? And if you make 200, do you think its possible to make like 2000 a day from them?

I tried using my gift card preloaded with $50 bux for one of those make money with google from home offers....declined. Then I used my normal credit card and it went through fine, then I noticed a authorization charge for $67.90 .

I know people that make over $2.5k a day with grant offers. They all have great landing pages that link to their blogs with plenty of unique content. The trick is to choose a grant niche, not just 'grants'.

I dont doubt it, although there are plenty of companys that don't pre-authorize.

damn, my birthday is coming up soon and I really want to get this dooney and burke purse but I need to make some money first. I never even thought about picking a grant niche, I always went for 'grants'. Time to fix my ppv campaings.

Keep in mind that pre-authorizations piss people off and the advertiser knows it. It's one thing when you goto the gas station and they do it to make sure you can afford what your pumping, but for an online trial? Decent method to stop gift card/vcc use, but there is something to be said for more whitehat techniques promoting this.

I don't use incents, trickery or anything else that would violate my networks TOS with this. There is tons of money to be made without cheating.
