RETIRED: *Official* iPod Sweepstakes talk & OFF TOPIC talk! ****NEW iPODS ADDED**** Including new shuffles, nanos, classic & touch!

This thread has been retired and locked, preserving it for reference. The new thread can be found here.


**NOW OFFERING** IPS gives you $75 Click to enlarge

1gb shuffles - 1000 points
$75 iTunes gift card - 1000 points
4gb nanos - 2000 points
80gb classic - 3000 points
urlhasbeenblocked - 4000 points
iPhone - 5000 points

This has nothing to do with deals. Thought I would make a thread to talk about IPS and off topic chatting so we can't get in trouble.

Well hows everyone doing?
Almost 2k points.

Now IPS is one of the greatest sites to earn and win ipods for free ( or almost free )

IPS Phone number 561-852-7377 x 203


SOME COMMON FAQs


Do I have to use my real address and phone number?
NO! You can get a virtual phone number or use your favorite Burger King, McD, etc.


Should I make a new email address?
This is a definite YES. Make a free yahoo, gmail etc. Hotmail has problems. You will be getting THOUSANDS of spam emails.


Why won't my farking points credit, it's been over a week?
If you are having trouble getting certain offers to credit, (most of us do) you can email IPS [email protected]


I just cashed out for an IPOD, does it really take a long agonizing 4-6 weeks?
Well, NO, most of us have received our IPODS within 1-2 weeks and sometimes sooner!


I didn't get a confirmation email/shipping email, will I still get my iPod?


YES, you will. I sometimes don't get either email and still get the iPod days later


If you win a shuffle from the daily drawing, you'll receive it approximately 3 weeks after you get the notification. This assumes the following: it takes about 4-5 business days from the time you get the notification and IPS getting your documents by mail, they take about 1 week to process your win (from my experience), UPS takes one week to ship. They will not automatically send you a tracking number. You can not substitute the win for 1000 pod points (many people have tried and have been denied).

iPodsweepstakes tips

From mattyG

Quote :
*Updated* Easy Points for New Users

Sign up bonus = 200 points

True.com Free Trial (easy, cost 1.15, refunded. cancel online) = 152 points

True.com Free Trial round two (make sure u cancel first one and r logged out) = 152 points

Netflix Free Trial (i think theres a holding charge but it doesnt show on my credit card, easy to cancel online) = 136 points

Britannica Online (easy, cancel online) = 56 points

Gottaplay $1 Trial (charges you for a month upfront then refunds if you cancel within 10 days. cancel online) = 84 points

Emusic $.99 Trial (cancel online, easy) = 48 points

so theres 828 points in 20 minutes. you can omit the last two and get ~700 points for free.

notice that this is only current as of this post and the offers can change as the blockbuster offer did. make sure you read before you sign up.
--First of all I suggest you use another email address other than your personal one (hotmail seems to work best) because you will receive a lot of spam in your inbox when you sign up for all these different offers.

--Don't use your real phone number. I got a free online voice mail from http://k7.net/ It will send you an email when you have a voice message, although, I never bothered to listen to them.

--If an offer says you receive a certain amount of points for entering your zip code, that's all you have to do. You can close everything else out (you'll get pop ups.) Same goes for the email address offers.

--I didn't do any offers that required a CC# for a free trial but a friend did (I always forget to cancel the darn things.) She got enough points for a Nano in about 10 days with the free trial offers. I got enough points for a Shuffle in 5 days sticking to just the totally free, no CC# required offers.

--I didn't do any of the free ring tone offers because most tend to charge you through your cell phone carrier. I didn't want to chance being nailed with a fee of $9.99 on my cell bill so I didn't do any of those.

--Make sure you check the email address you used to sign up for your account and the offers (use the same one) because some of the offers require you to confirm through the email they sent. It won't take long before you'll be able to tell what junk mail is and what requires you to confirm.

--I suggest keeping track of all the offers you have completed. That way, if for some reason you don't receive credit, you can contact iPodsweepstakes with the date you completed the offer. They have outstanding customer service and will happily credit you for the offers you didn't receive credit for.

--Don't waste your time emailing them with a question. If you have a problem, question, or concern call them. They don't respond to emails in a very timely manner, but like I said, their phone customer service is incredible.

--Offers usually credit in 5-7 days, some sooner, and some longer.

--Click each link every night to get the max amount of entries into the nightly drawing. You can click the link and close the window before it even pulls the page up. You just have to have clicked the link to receive the credit.

--If you have anymore questions, don't hesitate to PM me and ask. I don't mind helping out.



mod edit.. the deal talk thread was closed for fighting, attacks and other stuff. these mega threads are nearly impossible to moderate. you're on your honor here, we see any crap going on here, this will be closed too.

Just got this email back about adding the new Ipods.........

******,

We are in the process of updating our site to include these new items. Please allow us some time to make the changes.

Thank you,
iPod Support

I would suggest everyone to wait a week or so, obviously if you want the new Ipods.

There's an xm thread somewhere here, $150 will buy you more than a year if you use it the right way. Check out the thread, they talk about Sirius in here too:

Wow.. i just started this ipodsweepstakes.. and somehow I think I'm making it harder than it looks... I've personally tried to go through ALL pages to catch any tips, but its so long..

I don't really like giving out CC #s out either.. I tried all the easy one w/enter your email such and such, but all I've got credited is 251 for the past week.

Does anybody have any SHORT, brief step by step?

Sorry, I'm a noob Big Grin

okay thanks alot, i guess i'll give it a try, but for some reason i've done the email/zip ones and they won't credit. i believe we only have to enter our email or zip, or has it turned into like MFF? Gorving and Bowflex are the only ones that have credited for me

GREAT!! Frown

I just signed up today, just got interested in this thread. Happy for all of you that got something.

I just want a plain clip on shuffle, i dont even care the color. (checked on ebay, they are too much for the money I have Frown

So, I been doing offers for hours now, since I signed up, AND I FORGOT to click the email comfirmation, from signing up. (not from deals, but original sign up for this)......

I see NO pts yet, and I have re-sent the letter again to my email, I still have not got it, to confirm......Nor do I think I get any pts, I just earned, which i even signed up for a CC offer.. SHOOT!!!!

I am lost, and dont see thoose good deals, offered in 1st post by OP. I cant find anything good, and I guess I wont get any credit till I confirm??? and lost everything I did already... I have already got other emails from deals I signed up on.....

ughhhhhhh having a bad last few days friends Frown
Melody

*****CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW MANY CONTEST ENTREES YOU START OUT WITH??? I am afraid I lost all credit for my signups, because I didnt click (because I just now got it, and didnt know I should of waited), I didnt get, or click welcome email till now...BUT I have I Think an entree for from what I clicked on and have listed(keeping track) the amount of what I signed up for seems about the same of entrees. In other words, I have 12 entrees, but still no pts(maybe I have to wait for them to show)....BUT I NEED TO KNOW IF YOU START OUT WITH ANY ENTREES.....because if so, I DID loose everything I signed up for, before I got the email confirming my IPS membership.......I have done about 12 things, so unless u start out with contest entrees, I dont need to freak out.

Hope this was clear, I am tired, sorry if this is everywhere. THANKS to anyone who can help.

No see thats why I asked you to post the email. I wanted to take it in for myself and also because I don't fully yet believe you're the first and only person they've threatened. But for real, its more like, you can't bullsh*t a bullsh*tter. All tryin to tell ME that they ban people.. when i was doing the exact same thing LMAO

BTW wondering if this works??? can you send back the XM radio lik etry to get money from walmart?? or exchange? thanks :-)
you can...but the radios aren't worth anything. I exchanged one of the XM radios i got at circuit city and got a $20 gift card. I sold the other one on ebay.

*****CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW MANY CONTEST ENTREES YOU START OUT WITH???.[/QUOTE]

You will still get your points credited to your account, whether or not you have confirmed your account. BUT you will not be able to redeem anything until you have confirmed it. So just keep requesting the email until you get it- you will. Sometimes their email just takes longer to get to you.

And you start out with 0 contest entries everyday. You get one entry for every offer you complete and they start again at 0 after the drawing everyday.

Don't panic. HTH
