Other offers like ebay, stamps.com, and the new microsoft offer are offers directly through those companies and they do not sell your information to anyone.
The best way to tell, in my opinion, is to read the print at the bottom of the main page of the offer. If it says "we are not affiliated with avon", then they are in essence purchasing your name, address, email address, etc. from you in return for the credit that you get.
