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.

Yeah, I'm thinking that they might release them earlier than we think. If PC Mall is getting them the 7th, and everywhere else is sold out right now too, it wouldn't make sense that they're getting old ones.
kinda sucks case i got a nice griffin iclear case for the 5g i was expecting hehe

Well heres to hoping its a touchscreen/widescreen ipod.. that way I dont have to hack an iphone to do what I want it to.

Hmm, I'm sitting pretty on 1996 points right now.
I'm debating ordering the current nanos, which I like, or waiting until after the keynote, and maybe getting stuck with the rumored new nanos, which look hideous.
It's a tough call... maybe I can still order a current nano day of the keynote if I hate the new ones that much.

right there is gizmodo's mockup, if you read a little bit about it, apple's lawyers told them to take it down, ergo, it seems they figured out the look of the new nanos

The only nano ull be able to redeem for is the 2gb silver on. U get no other choices, so id suggest go for more points or wait to see what happens. I can guarantee u that the new nano will not look that hideous. Apple is smarter than that laugh out loud


Although, they did make the new imacs worse the the previous white ones nod

I'm not so sure. The logic behind this new device is sound, and apple legal would not be so blunt and forceful in removing a faked image.
Also, if you read carefully, that image is made based upon spy shots taken with a camera at some event. I saw those photos before they went down, that device is at least a prototype.
And yes, even apple makes huge mistakes. the new imacs are crap, and the first generation shuffle was a huge mistake (at least how I see it it was.)
I think that is how the new nano will look, but I'm not convinced what we'll see next week won't just be a new ipod video, and they might hold new nanos for later.
Then again, the time is ripe for a full ipod line refresh, giving all 3 ipods a new look, we'll have to see.

Wow, if that's the new nano, it's pretty ugly. Hey, even Apple screws up at times--I own an original iBook (aka Hello Kitty purse), which I sort of liked--the handle was really helpful for a butterfingers like me--but that clamshell design didn't impress a lot of folks. (Hmn, that Mac is still running fine 8 years later...do I get the last laugh?laugh out loud )

Hmn, if the 4 GB colored nanos are now the oldies, do you think IPS will start offering us them? I would be happy. Will keep my eyes peeled for sales, too. We have 2 iPod-wanters in my house.

On the bright side, 4 of the 6 offers I did yesterday credited. But I'm with the poster upthread who said s/he's worked pretty hard for points. So many of those e-mail and zip things just. don't. credit.
