Sprint Palm Pre Gift....From Facebook

[RanGT]

So you know those pointless gifts that you can give your facebook friends...mostly at a cost so more pointless. well the free ones are nice.

BUT NOW THERE IS ONE FOR THE PALM PRE!!!! but it gets better....

you can get a free credit for sending it. I really don't care for these gifts but this is a smart move on sprint's part bc some fb users LOVE giving gifts and this is really bringing prewarness to the general public. two of my most non-tech friends know about it.

Good Job Sprint!

Free credit for what?

Free credit for what?

The person you send it to gets credit for purchasing a gift to send to someone else. So you are doing them a favor by sending it.

credit for purchasing a gift from where?

[RanGT]

its the facebook 'give a gift' program.

you send a gift....aka an icon.....aka 'your worth one of my $1 even though i could have said on a fb wall post'

its how fb makes money....so, you are giving them a free credit. i only posted bc i like that sprint is giving awarness about the pre. normally a company would have given a free gift....but they are giving free gift AND credit so they can buy a different gift.

[catallah]

Well the person who you gave it to can buy the free gift...

I'm still not getting it....lol
they can buy the "free" gift?
if it's a free gift, why do they have to buy it?

so I send my friend a pre as a "free" gift on facebook, then what happens?
do they get the free phone?
do they have to buy it? for how much?

[catallah]

You send them the gift, they receive the free gift, shows up on their wall. Then they receive 1 credit towards a gift of their choosing. Catch is, gifts cost 10 credits. So unless 9 other people send them this type of gift, they really won't be able to do anything with the credit.

its not a real gift. its a FB gift.
