been accused of operating primarily on pyramid schemes
...it has launched a number of websites offering free merchandise, most
notably iPods, to users who register and complete membership

signing up and paying for a service or subscription.
...offers typically consist of trial memberships, service subscriptions,
credit card applications and the like; some require credit cards
during registration, and a few involve payment of some kind, causing
critics to claim the "free" label a misnomer
