It's not exactly free power but I've replaced my heaters with Antminers so they are kinda running free power...

How does that work exactly? Could you explain?
Instead of paying for heat (electric/gas), you pay for the electric used by the miner, the miner then provides heat and Bitcoin. You were going to pay for the heat anyway just this way you mine some BTC and recoup some of your costs, sometimes even profiting.

I cant find cheap miners, what are the official websites for it?

Thanks
Whats your definition of cheap?

There is a group buy for Europe going on with the sidehack USB miners, maybe that would interest you.

Some of the users on this forum made posts where they claim to get free power, where do they get this power from?
Some people get power included in rent - In some cases these people loose their free power when their landlord notices a much higher electric bill.

Some people are students and dorm - limited free power from their dorm rooms

Some people are in government housing.

I've heard that if you pre-order a unit from bitmain, It normally always ROI and than makes some. So I might save up money and hopefully get a new batch miner in the future. Maybe s7 or whatever they have next.
This is not always true, there is always a risk when purchasing a miner that you won't ROI. And if there was no risk everyone would be doing it, basically only put in money you can afford to loose.

AFAIK, if you use a credit card to buy the gifts and then chargeback on it, the account with the gift will lose it and will also become suspended. The same goes for Steam credit. That's why people aren't likely to trust a newbie selling a reversible item.
I am aware, these are obtained by social engineering, not by chargebacks
So they are being obtained without being paid for? Or in more simple terms being stolen.
