Anyone use BeFree? I have been using CJ so far, but I have a merchant that's only offering detailed datafeeds via BeFree. Just wondering what people think of them?

I've done a bit of searching and on the whole, people seem to be pretty pleased with them. There were a few people suspicious of their stats reporting, but it seems you always get that with any network.

They seem alright to me. Just wondering if anyone's had any bad experiences?

I'm a member but I haven't ever used any of the programs.

Befree and CJ are owned by the same company.

I use alot of BeFree programs. Including the one for my new clothing site.

Well, they're not different anymore...

I just read that everything will be handled through the CJ interface.

I tried to sign up with befree a few months ago and they never even replied to me. I'm pretty sure it was just a glitch and I fell through the cracks, but I haven't been in a hurry to sign up again. Perhaps just a *little* bitter ;)

That would be flyingpylon but don't worry about it.

I got the following e-mail last night:
