A couple of days ago I was on Field Agent. They had a Just for Fun! category listed at $0.00.
They want you to go to a designated location and take a pic of the best halloween display in the store. No pay and they point out they are not charging their clients for this. You can do up to 20 of these! I am failing to see where the fun part is.
Each submission gets you into a drawing for a $25 Field Agent credit. I suppose this means money since you wouldn't buy anything from them.
