Multiple Accounts and Free Credits

    Sorry I am still new here and I don't know if there is an existing thread for this in the past, could find anything under search...

    I know that you can have a master YSM account and multiple accounts underneath it, afterall the option is available. However is it against TOS and illegal to open multiple accounts with each having free credits, for example, having 20 accounts and signing up $100 free credit with each account thus having $2000 in free credits? I've noticed some people on here and some people I've talked to doing so and having a ton of accounts with a bunch of free credits. I just wanted to double check with you guys to see if anyone knows more about this.

    I only have one account and my original thought was that although you can have more than one account, you probably should only be allowed to redeem the credits once and that's it. Any ideas?

    Yeah, but if you open the account just for the free credits and only spend the free credits, you will get in trouble... Not a great business model either.

    No u can use the same credit card... but I recommend u to use a different Email ID.. but I have heard that u can use the same email id too.. i never tried that.. but u can use the same credit card for sure.... but DONT USE THE SAME COUPON TWICE... thats why i have listed multiple $100 credit coupons here http://www.minterest.com/yahoo-search-marketing-coupon-credit/ please feel free to post here if any of that is not showing the credit... or is not working....

    Signup only if u see the credit on the billing page......

    This was the reply sent by Yahoo:
    "Thank you for your e-mail, we are happy to assist you today. We are unable to allow you to create multiple accounts advertising the same website in order to take advantage of the promotional credit each time." does this mean you can use different website in multiple account?

    sorry for bumping up this old thread.

    i have a question. we are not allowed to create multiple accounts advertising the SAME website.

    By same website, does it mean same root url? or just same url?

    For example : do i allowed to create a account to advertise http://www.mysite.com/a.htm
    and to create a account to advertise http://www.mysite.com/b.htm ?

    thanks in advance.

    Your site says if they disable your account because your site doesn't qualify and they'll refund the $30. Would they refund the $30 if your account gets disabled for any reason before it's used besides the site approval?

    Yes they will still honor their refund policy.
    I signed up using 1 of the promo links for 1 of my sites promoting payday loans.

    They rejected and said my site is promoting stuff they are not allowed to advertise... :confused::confused:
