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.

I posted earlier, that I called PCmall (the place where IPS orders thier ipods from) and they said they will have ipods back in stock on the 31st of august, so as for getting a next gen (which hasnt been announced yet) not gonna happen, I'm thinkin. But the videos are definitely delayed till first week of september. So we got some more waiting to do. But that still falls well within thier stated 4-6 week delivery. so we wait for another 2 weeks, im cool with that. I'll be ready to jam some music by then as much as I am now. plus I'll be ready to redeem another one as soon as this one hits my front door LMAO

on a cooler note, I just recieved my 250$ best buy gift card I won from MGM Grand woot!
That means they won't even send them out until the 4th, since I highly doubt they'll send them the day they get them in stock (1st is sat, 2nd is sun, 3rd is labor day). Sigh, guess I won't even have it by my birthday. BOO! Good thing I'm not messing with this anymore. I just wanted my iPod and I finally got there and did that, now I'm done.

I think they're going to release a new nano before a new video-- gizmodo posted pix of supposed spy pictures of the new nano (ugly lil bugger) and apple immediately contacted them to take them off their websites. Usually when they post stuff that's wrong apple doesn't tell them to take it off =P

No way Apple would release an ugly iPod. They have WAY too much to loose. Apple's biggest selling line is the ipods.

I HIGHLY doubt that theyre going to make such and ugly ipod nod

Quote from dorylynn :
I started this mission with a shuffle in mind, then I couldnt' stop, so I decided to go for the Ipod Nano, now that i have enough points for the nano, I'm contemplating the video player. I am beginning to think that they do this promotion just so people like me who are indecisive can't stop doing their stupid offers.
Anyways, I finally am getting my NANO, I think! I finally got a response from the helpdesk and they thought they could give me 100pts to shut up and leave them alone...WRONG! I have another address for you to use to bother them for your points, just make sure you keep all those confirmation emails from all the companies you fill out offers for and the dates as well. If I had not, I never would have gotten this far. Here is another helpdesk email address to bug them with. """"" """""Use this address cuz its the only person who has answered my hundreds of emails about not getting credits.
TIP: when filling out email offers for brandarama or megapromotions, put a period somewhere in your email address and you'll be more likely to finally get the points from those ones. So say if your email adress is dorylynn76, use the email address dorylynn.76 and you'll get the credit.
I guess I am done with this site, moving on to the myfavefreebies.com I like GC's and I can earn them there. Anyone wanna telll me the easiest way how?
Congrats and thanks... but wow, hundreds of emails bugging them about crediting points? How depressing. The wiki post indicated IPS had good customer service. Guess things have changed. I'm shooting for the nano...anyone know if they have color choices, or is it just silver?

since the tracker has been discontinued - I have to manually track my activities with an excel spreadsheet (boring - I know) but it works for me - since I make sure I get credited for the points coming to me....

I guess I was lucky not to talk to a live person yesterday although when I called Bargain Network - that CSR was pestering me to stay and pay $39.95 for the whole year!

For anybody wanting to cancel AtHomeRewards;

I've had trouble cancelling online for the past few days. Constant error messages, etc. I found a live number for them through some searching. Just call 888-425-5874 and give them your member number and tell them you want to cancel. The woman I spoke with didn't ask any questions and gave me her name and a confirmation number right away as well without my asking.

I still think they have pretty good customer service. While offers do not credit like they used to, I'm amazed they have never lost their cool with some people sending them email after email after email, their responses are always pretty professional. Also, IPS hardly ever revokes points or goes ape shit about "fraud" or imposes restrictions about where you can log into your account from.

You guys think $150 for my used white video is an okay deal? I dropped it in the parking lot of trader joes, so it has two tiny scratches on two of the corners.
