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

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.

I never got emails and I've never needed to look beforehand, I assumed it was straight forward. I still can't figure out what I need to do.

Haha ya OK buddy. Why don't you check out my previous posts on this forum before you make stupid posts and see if I am one of those people. I spend half my posts telling people to shut up about trying to scare people. I have no reason to scare people, I was just trying to warn people since it happened to me. If I post the email message than it's linking this name with my account name and that doesn't do anything good for me because it if I say anything on this forum than IPS could see it and take action, some freebie websites watch this forum. Obviously none of these things occurred to you. You're right, I got 3 shuffles and 5 gift cards on one account and I'm trying to scare people into not abusing IPS Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

You know that's theft right? If you don't think it's theft it's deception at best. You are going to LIE regardless. You're not going to walk into a store and say "Yea, I got this free online, but I'd rather have cash so you can buy it from me for full retail price?". If you want money for it, sell it on eBay.
Not really. My CircuitCity used to willingly take them back with a small restocking fee (so not full retail price, it was like 10%).

IT'S THEFT. Even if you only get 90% of THEIR retail, they don't pay RETAIL, the pay WHOLESALE. You are stealing. People like you ruin returning items that were really purchased.

See I think you missed the point here. The original question was "any stores". These ipods used to COME from CircuitCity, it was THEIR stock before IPS switched to CCIT. I used to take my ipods back to Circuit City also (I was NEVER charged a restocking fee though and I did it three times). Thats a totally different scenerio than walking into "any store" and trying to get money or exchange it.

I tried myself, walmart, target, heck even circuit city (after IPS switched to CCIT) and none of them would have the likes of my "I got this as a gift" bs. I hear it works better around Christmas when stores are alot more lenient about their return/exchange policies. But its a total hit or miss, one walmart will do it ( I went to three total), one told me NO right off the bat and another took the ipod and scanned the hell out of it before telling me it wasn't their stock.

I mean if they do do it, then thats their policy to allow it. I didn't walk in saying "I got this HERE". I didn't lie (it was a gift for my time and efforts filling out offers), so if they took it I didn't feel bad.

laugh out loud What are you talking about? I don't think the industry of taking back items that were really purchased is ruined. I've never had a problem returning anything that I had a receipt for. Where is returning genuinely bought items with a receipt been ruined? Confused

I'm not usually one to argue this point, but you're not seeing the big picture. The original selling price of that iPod is a moot point. Let's say an iPod is successfully returned to a store and the customer is reimburced the retail selling price of $79. That store will put it on their shelf and sell it for RETAIL price - not WHOLESALE - at the same rate of $79. In the end, nothing was stolen, nothing is uneven, and nobody got the short end of the stick. Seriously. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)
