    2 Stars Blue Carrots need generous amount of manure 01/04/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages A nice looking shopping protal site, the vague possibility of free shares

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I just cannot see this site becoming a profitable online business

    Well, don't I look a total dingbat! No, I'm not referring to the photo on my profile page, I'm referring to the fact that I was persuaded to join Blue Carrots last week thinking I could be making myself a bit of free money. Blue Carrots have been around for nearly two years now, and so, in terms of giving away shares in their company in return for loyalty, they were one of the first companies to launch on the net with this idea. The concept is simple, you register on the site and get 1000 free shares. You don't need to shop at the site, or give them money. Something for nothing, and we all ... more

    4 Stars Feeling Blue 24/03/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages free shares; email; community-based

    Disadvantages Disadvantages 'hidden' information; cashback ending; shares not worth much?

    BlueCarrots started as an ISP and portal, with new members particularly attracted by the idea of free shares. The site has undergone a number of redesigns since its launch in August 1999, with it most recently describing itself as a 'community based shopping portal' - but this looks set to change again. There is also a fair range of general and themed content, including various semi-exclusive competitions, plus usual facilities such as discussion boards. Free shares are still on offer (1000 for joining and bonus shares for introducing new members). You need to remain active (e.g. login once a ... more

    5 Stars Free shares and other perks at Bluecarrots 01/01/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cashback, free shares, regular competitions and disscussion / film / book reviews.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages May never float onto stock exchange

    I have been with bluecarrots.com for nearly a year now and their site is very handy. You gain when you sign-up free 1000 shares and if you are an existing members or new members, you get a further 500 free shares. You only see these shares if you are a loyal customer. This I mean is after a year, you will get a third of the shares, after two years, slightly more, and after three years, the full 1000 shares. I am not quite sure how the bonus 500 shares get distributed though. You also get cashback on purchases through 101cd.com, bol.com, Dixons, Currys, etc which ranges from 0.5% to about 7% ... more

    2 Stars No wonder these carrots are blue 26/06/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages None

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Where's my cashback ??

    Bluecarrots the cute and cuddly sounding site was launched as a ‘Users Portal’ offering free shares and cashback on purchases through it’s online partners. That, however, was back in the days of spiralling valuations for internet stocks – the days when putting dot com in the name of your business brought investors flooding to your door waving wads of cash and the internet seemed like the surest one way bet the world had seen. Bluecarrots today seems like a different proposition – it is ending the free shares for new members (as a step to formalising some value for ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Free shares and the cheapest top ten albums I've found

    With the news that Bluecarrots is set to demutalise there has not been a better time to get in there and grab your 1000 free shares A well rounded site with news, games and free email (not brilliant but worth having as an extra). Earn cashback on all your shopping from a wide variety of UK stores. There link with BorrowRob gives you top ten albums at the cheapest I have found them anywhere in the UK (after cashback).
