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'm just using 1 account and only working towards the first iphone right now...splitting my time between 2 computers and 2 accounts would be kinda slow. I had my popup blocker (firefox's and ad block plus plugin) running the first 2 days, then the 3 day I turned them both off and noticed a much higher and faster crediting of my processed points getting credited.

Oh and by processed, I mean I've have done the work of over 2000 points, but 900 have credited thus far, I'm sure there will be some loss, but I'll worry more as I get further along unless it's a big point offer

Sitting on 998 pointsyummy Wasn't that bad, seeing it only took me a week to get this much yummy but I think I am running out of easy offers. but IPS doesn't seem to be worth it compare to other sites, where they give you money for doing these offers. mmm might see if they come out with the new ipods, then I might do more IPS

If you're cool with spending a dollar or two... CompleteHome and GreatFun are both good offers... you DO get the gift card mentioned in the offer (they email you a form you send in online) -- The points are decent, too.

Oh, also... MPFree, 100tunes, phonehog, and satellitesweeps are all offers on IPS that are owned by the same company over IPS. Quick credits!

check at www.anything4free.com

Those athome rewards, and essential shoppers offers don't charge you right?
I canceled and even got a confirmation email of the cancelling and I still havea $1.15 charge.
Hopefully it will get removed by tomorrow.

at home rewards and similar deals automatically sign you up for savings club, which is a $1/month so its not free



By clicking "Submit" on the next page, you also agree to activate your separate membership to Your Savings Club at the special low price of just $1.00 per month. To ensure continuous service, your membership will be automatically charged/debited each month at the then-current membership fee to the credit card you provide today or from the checking account associated with the debit card you provide today. If for any reason you are dissatisfied, call Your Savings Club toll-free at 1-800-316-8774 to cancel, and you'll no longer be charged/debited.

Hahaha! Yeah, but the question is did you get the points immediately?? I'm still waiting for my ValueMax points and I signed up for that 4 days ago! I wanna cancel out today from that service, especially since they charge my PPCC already!

How long did it take for the points to reflect? I still didn't get the 86 points for joining and it's been 4-5 days now. I've already submitted my dispute with help desk for the points and included all the info and forwarded email. I'm just trying to get a better understanding for future offers... oh congrads on getting your phone slickBreezie...any input or help you can provide to aid me on my way would be awesome!

Awesome work! I just processed 2523 points after 5 days now, 1107 credited...and now it starts to get bit slow ...I'm still waiting to see if the MegaPromotionsGroup and Brandorama will work with the email dot trick mentioned way back...so far I have yet to get any credit for those. I've started cookie wiping now...so we'll see how that works out.

I can't get the e-mail dot trick to get me any credit. Does it only work/ credit for gmail? I get the e-mails, but I don't get the points.
Any advice?
