Oh I know this shit isn't free, i've put a ton of hours into recruiting for it and time is never free.
However, it is legit in that they do give you the prizes and you never have to give credit card info or payment of any sort.

And WHY are they doing this exactly?

Use your logic.

They want you to view the ads on the site which they get PAID to have on there, it would be a safe assumption that as Tmal said, most people never get far enough in to claim anything so they get a large amount of hits on a website that for most people gives them nothing (and hence is probably very cheap to run).

Hits = More advertising revenue.

I would guess that they get significantly more more money from advertising per 'refferal' than it would cost them to give someone '2 points' (I assume you need an astranomical amount to get anything thats worth much? their site is down atm so I couldnt check).

Ah but page views don't amount to currency... fair enough we get our prizes with our tokens, and the host gives us tokens because they get paid by the advertisers... and advertising nowadays costs a fuckload more than most syndicates get back through customers and purchases.

SOMEWHERE imaginary money is being conjured up for this... and that means debt, which always seems to bite the lowest in the food chain right on the derriere.

The client (us) gets a small amount by working for the host.
The host gets paid a fuckload by the advertisers.
The client (us) buys the product being advertised.
The advertisers make a fuckload by selling their product, that's what the advertising is for.

Simple business.

To pay off the interest the government borrows MORE money with MORE interest.

^ thus making your statement invalid. I'd like to see some hard evidence to back that up.
