I now almost have enough credits for iphoto and real racing 2 but not sure which I want more
is it possible for me to download these from the canadian itunes rather than my US account?
also, what's the downside of having all these apps in your download history?
I wish FreeMyApps had some square enix games like final fantasy, chrono trigger, etc
Still is a great concept though and Im not complaining at all since it works and they have some decent games.
Classy stuff there Demonface
Does it work if I'm in New Zealand and i created a US iTunes account without using a credit card number?
While they're technically not a scam, they've REALLY ticked me off. I used them for nearly a year and was very pleased with the service and I can't even tell you how many awesome apps I got through them.
Until I got my iPhone 5.
I had only had it for just over 2 weeks when I went to redeem some credits and I had an issue. I contacted their support. Long story short, it's been a month and a half and I still can't redeem my credits. They said I somehow violated their terms of service but won't tell me how so I can contest it or at very very least not repeat the same mistake on a different device. But as far as I know, I didn't do anything wrong and did just what I've been doing for the last year and what I've gotten quite a few friends and family members to do. I'm totally in the dark.
I've sent follow up requests to try to get some information out of them and they just delete my support tickets without even notifying me. They've ignored me on Twitter and deleted my comments from their Facebook page and blocked me from posting new comments there. This is literally the WORST customer service I've ever seen and I worked in that industry for a number of years with some pretty poor folks and I've seen and experienced some really bad situations. This is just inexcusable, even for a free service like this.
I have nearly $50 worth of credits that I can't redeem and they won't tell me what not to do in the future. I'm so upset with them.
I very strongly discourage anyone from using this service. Any company that treats their customers this way doesn't deserve to be in business.

Anyone heard/use this?
Some people are calling a scam and Im a little wary, but I gave it a try and so far I haven't noticed anything fishy. Basically you go on the site http://www.freemyapps.com/ on your iPhone and it asks you for permission for your UDID (different from your apple account ID). UDID are also used if you ever beta tested an iOS game.
Anyway I found this through http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/iPhone/FreeMyApps/news.asp?c=36017 but I still didn't really believe it so I searched it up on google and AllThingsDigital had an article about it http://allthingsd.com/20111213/freemyapps-offers-another-twist-on-cross-selling-within-apps/ .
So basically what you have to do is download free apps/games and then wait open it and wait 30 secs, then go back to the site and it'll add up points. When you have enough points, you can redeem them for a paid app/game. It does it through a code (like any code you redeem on the itunes store).
To my surprise I got Cut the Rope Experiment for free (checked my account, nothing seemed wrong, it shows free in my history). Got Fruit Ninja Puss in Boots and Bejeweled as well.
Still being cautious, but I've read on multiple forums that its also working. Im thinking of restoring my iphone to a earlier backup just to make sure the thing downloaded is gone.
