Change in Payment Threshold for Cashback Payments

As part of our ‘Back to roots’ strategy Free Coin, from today is changing its payment terms. This is to help us streamline our business to make our service the best it can be. We’re being completely open with what we’re doing and how it will affect you.

From today the minimum payment threshold has been increased from 1p to £3 and you can now only be paid by PayPal or BACS. This is to reduce the time we spend making payments to members in order to free up time to improving our service.

Anyone who has requested a payment before today will still be paid, even if it is below the new £3 threshold. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Free Coin to go ‘back to roots’

Just over 2 years ago we founded Free Coin, it was a cashback site that aimed to be better than its competitors by being unique, offering excellent service, having staff that were always available to help resolve any problems that may arise. We formed it so that we’d have all the best offers and pay great cashback rates and, for a long time, we did that well. However, over the past few months we’ve been working on lots of projects, aimed at making the site bigger and better. But unfortunately it took us much longer to implement than we’d hoped, and we were spending a lot of time and effort trying to get everything right.

This came at the expense of the awesome service that we feel our members deserve, we feel we simply weren’t doing things as well as we could because of these extra time constraints, and for that we’d like to say sorry. So today, we’re proud to announce our ‘back to roots’ strategy, where we will attempt switch out focus away from the new projects and start doing what we do best again: running a cashback site that aims to be there for its members.

So we’ve already closed Free Coin Australia, and we’re going back to using our old domain name freecoin.co.uk rather that the international freeco.in domain. We’ve removed categories from the site that were not used by the majority of our members and we aim to now focus on the free cashback, daily cashback and other no purchase cashback offers. We’re currently in the process of getting some new daily clicks to add to the site and these should be live by next week, we also hope to acquire lots of new retailers over the coming weeks.

The ‘back to roots’ strategy will also see the return of the infamous Free Coin Newsletter, with our tongue in cheek humour and great offers, straight to your inbox. These will start to go out again within the coming weeks. The sign up process has also been changed to reduce the amount of information that we require from our members, to make the sign up process simpler and quicker. We’ve also got some tweaks to the layout planned which will help declutter the site and make important information easier to access and we hope that this will help new and old members alike.

Overall, we hope mostly that Free Coin can begin to offer the awesome service we feel our loyal members deserve, boost the earning capabilities from increased free cashback offers and just make the site a much more enjoyable place to be! We’d like to thank our members who’ve supported us over the past 2 years and we hope there will be many more to come.

Free Coin Newsletter 29th August 2011

We hope you’re having a good bank holiday weekend. The weather is not great, but at Free Coin it’s always sunny. (Well the colour scheme is close enough)

As you are probably aware a few weeks ago we sent you an email to ask you about what you thought of a payment system we have proposed to introduce. If you don’t know what we’re going on about click here and get up to speed.

After analysing the responses we have been astonished. When we decided to run a survey to get your views on the proposal we we’re expecting the opinions to be split about 50/50 with half wanting to change and half wanting to keep the old system.

However, when we looked at the results 91% of members questioned said they thought the new system was an improvement and it would make them use Free Coin more than they currently do. 86% of members told us they wanted us to change to the new one (no we don’t get why the percentages are different either).

So, we are happy to announce that the final weekly payment will be made this Friday (2nd September). After this the minimum payment will be lowered to 1p and you will be able to withdraw any amount and get paid at the beginning of October.

We will also display a schedule of how the new system will work within the members area so that everything is clear to you.

Whilst we were collecting comments we also received some great feedback about other improvements we can make to the site. We have listened and expect some news very soon!

Delay to this weeks cashback payments

Due to an unforeseen shortage of staff on Friday we were unable to make the payments to our members yesterday (Friday 26th August). All cashback payments will be made before the bank holiday is over and normal service will resume from next week.

We thank you for your patience and understanding! :)
