**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).

MORE TO COME SOON!!

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.

Okay, potentially dumb question: What will IPS do if the price of the new Nano increases?
It seems likely that Apple will drop the 2gb nano, as the price of flash memory has significantly decreased, and make the 4gb the bottom end of the nano range. However, the price is likely to be at least $150+ (please keep in mind this is all speculation.) So, if the new 4gb nano is say, $175, will IPS keep the points needed at 2000 even, or will they break their even point streak and make it 2500, or 2225?
I went to a few stores last night, and every single one was sold out of nanos and videos. I was told that new stock would be available next week.
It seems virtually guaranteed that we'll have both new videos and new nanos next week.
I'm sitting on my 2000+ points, waiting to pull the trigger the day the new ones go up now.

...seems rumor has it that its possible to mod your iPhone to accept Tmobile SIM cards BUT this will involve hardware changes to your iPhone (which 90 percent of the population will cringe on the idea of opening up their phone and possibly frying it...) - software changes may well be on the way but not yet finalized nor posted to the public.

I did encounter a company claiming to provide a service for this yet for a price. (this has not been verified nor confirmed) here's their site: http://www.iphonesimfree.com/

Check out the articles on: http://www.ipodhacks.com/

The person credited for initially hacking into the iPhone has a blog and wiki and may give you some insight on what's ahead....

Yup so I sit, redeemed on 8-10 waiting for a new video, I'm almost sure it will be the new model at this point but then again ya never know. I also have enough for a nano at this point so I'm waiting as well, may just get a second video or iphone depending. So the wait continues.

I always get both of them as email offers... though I have to correct myself on the i-credit point amounts... looking back at emails they seem to vary in points. Anyway, the personal page ad has only ever credited once for me and then every email offer credits as a new offer. FF here, and ccleaner is my cache clearer of choice (but I don't use it as much as I used to, and not much changed...)

i've got to take a loot at my ccleaner settings. i do all of that and never credits for me...
i thought it was me, but maybe it's luck sometimes.
I remember i got credited like 18 times for dotschools when some couldn't get it once...

Hey guys,
I'm new here and would like to thank everyone for their input! I used to think these sites were scams and that there was no way in hell you could get any of the prizes offered, but wow!!! This is actually pretty cool! In 3 days worth of solid clicking after work...I've processed over 2000 points....now I'm sitting back and waiting for the points to roll in...and they're definitely rolling in....and life is gonna get dry for me cuz I'm clicking away for 2 iphones...then...probably a video afterwards...

Question... The Brandorama and MegaPromotionsGroup offers....what the hell gives!!! I have yet to get any points for those! I started the "dot push" trick 2 days ago and still haven't seen any kick back...

I'm tracking all my work via excel...so I wonder if emailing the help desk with all my links for each offer for the email/zip entrys will work?

Any other advise on how to get those to work? I'm also still waiting on points from the 86 point ValueMax offer....I see the 4 $1 charges...now I gotta get the credit so I can cancel those. Oh sorry, does calling the ValueMax 800 number...cancel them all out or do you have to call several different numbers?

Thanks for the help everyone...

Sigh....

iPhone no 1 here we go!

Well my advice, Brandorama credits for me normally, but the zipcode ones suck, just pester the IPS team untill they give you a lot of them. If you annoy them they will give you the zipcode/email ones you deserve.

Also are you using 2 accounts or something?
