**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
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).
MORE TO COME SOON!!
Here are some SD'ers that have gotten FREE IPODS from IPS
For the noobs.

--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. |

walmart is the one place i've had problems returning mystery items in the past
Has no one tried this before?

Target recently changed their "no-receipt" policy. They now only allow no-receipt returns (actually they're exchanges only) for items under $20. Even with their previous policy (before it was changed to $40 and then $20), you wouldn't have been able to do this. Their system blocked returns without a receipt that were more than $100 (I used to work there).
There are certain laws and guidelines regarding how and what can be returned/exchanged (such as CD's/DVD's only being exchangeable for the same exact title once opened). iPods and such usually are only allowed to be exchanged for the same exact item IF they are defective.
Trust me, if you return a "defective" iPod to Target (with a receipt now obviously), you're going to be watched everytime you come to that store (and likely others in the area). I don't know how other stores like Wal-Mart are about it, but I don't know if I would want to be treated like a criminal everytime I shopped...
Ugh...keeps getting longer and longer...but with all the speculation of a 9/5 announcement and the fact that most (if not all retail locations - and apple stores!) are completely out of videos...it really makes you wonder if they are in fact getting the next gens. I could care less either way - I just want my video - current gen or next...
I should tell them to cancel my order and give me my points back

They owe me quite a few, which I'm hoping credit this morning or tomorrow, so I can order this thing.
I don't want to wait and see what the new one looks like, as all the spy shots tell me it looks like crap.
I had an idea though. Since wal-mart lets you exchange items without a reciept, could I walk in with this unopened ipod, give them the $50, and get a 4gb nano in my choice of color? Or would they shoot this down for some reason I'm not seeing?
Thanks!
I keep getting the same offers in my email .. its always vonage, itt, cruise email, and RV. What the hell?
Anyone have an old email with the link they could pm me??
Thanks!!
only about 400 to go for video.

I guess I won't try and trade it in at a wal-mart, if it's that bad of an idea.
2gb just isn't enough space though, and I hate HDD based players. I wish IPS had the 4gb colored nanos, even if they were 500 points more...

If you want to return it to walmart, I'd just wait until around the top of december before you order it. I can't guarantee they'll take it, but usually after christmas they take anything.
