Some probably not all give the reward only after you jump through a near impossible bunch of hoops, they make money from search of the 13 or so different offers and product trials you have to sign up to, read the small print and the terms and conditions link carefully.
One affiliate solicitation revealed the stats for one such offer, indicated that something like 1 in 27,778 visitors to the offer ended up getting a prize.
"Program Review Getofferstoday.com is a freebies site that is simple and easy to use and has served over one billion people in the past 3 years. They have sent over 10,000 laptops and 26,000 unique gifts in that time period and they pay for shipping and handling! There are no future obligations, the gift is the user's when they complete the program requirements."
Here's an actual disclaimer from a more shady Free iPad cell phone account billing CPV ad:
"Participation may be required to claim your prize. This page, and any page on this website, are not to be taken literally or as a non-fiction story."
