You know the ones, like gadget city or ones that pop up on your email and what not, where you have to sign up with 2 or 3 offers, like columbia house, credit cards or netflix or whatnot...
are they worth it?

It depends if you feel the "requirements" are worth it for you, as well as the ENORMOUS amount of Junk Mail you will get as you will then be entered into copious lists. I would recommend opening an email address specifically for such things so your regular email isn't inundated with garbage.
I found with the few times that I was going to do it it seemed like I was going to spend more than the product and would have wound up doing things that I wouldn't normally do or sign up for...
But good luck

Don't fall for it you will end up with endless amounts of spam. The first thing they ask is for your e-mail address. Don't put it in there. Most of them have rules and if you can read though all the boring pages it states it is a drawing to win. So, even though they have said it's yours it's not. The odds of winning one is not worth the millions and I do mean millions of spam you will receive.

You aren't getting it for free. You are giving them information in returun. Usually you have to provide something ridiculous right at the end after you have given them a lot of juicy info.
If you want a first mortgage on a house you own you can get about anything as a prize.

Its a very close decision. refrigerator because i love my liquor chilled. iPod I continuously have my ear buds in attempting to track out the chaos that surrounds me. you favor a laptop or pc to download suggested tunes, plus i'm hooked on answering questions no count how mundane or extraordinary they get. i ought to stay with no telephone i grow to be drained of all the telemarketer calls any techniques.

Definately not. Trust me, it IS and endless amount of hassle. After about twelve thousand phone calls, I just gave up.

NOOOOOO! Stay away from POP UP Ads!! Very,VERY bad. Not only can they bring spyware and/or viruses...they also ask for a TON of personal info...require you to do stuff and it leads you around in circles without a payoff. Stay clear! "If something looks too good to be true, it usually is."
