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).

MORE TO COME SOON!!

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.

Well, I'm leaving for a trip Monday night. My iPod is SUPPOSED to be delivered today. Online tracking is not showing it has even gone out for delivery, but the last lady I spoke to at the 800 # called the hub and driver and confirmed it was on the van for delivery. So, hopefully it will show up today. Otherwise it's going to be returned to sender...no one will be home next week.

If you don't receive it today just call the 800# and ask for it to be delivered when you return. I've done it plenty of times with no problem.

I asked them about this (previously on other packages also), and she told me that they would have to attempt delivery and then I could call and verbally release it (since delivery requires a signature), and then they would leave it at the door. I told her I didn't want to authorize something to be left at the door that was worth so much, and she told me it was the only option. She said that in order to do a "vacation hold", there would be a fee. I'm getting annoyed with FedEx. Last time I had a prize coming, I was going out of town as well. They had it out for delivery a day early, since it got into town a day early. Well, halfway through the day, they decide, "Hey, it's not due for delivery until tomorrow, let's just take it back to the station when we're done and deliver it tomorrow." Don't even get me started on when they would just leave notices on my apartment door saying they attempted delivery, didn't knock or anything. It seems like the they have screwed up logic. Then again, I've had issues with UPS too...and they don't like to show up until almost 9pm.

I'm waiting till my boyfriend gets off work, if it's not here, we're going out to the hub, because the tracking still doesn't show it's out for delivery.

Wow, do you people eat and sleep?laugh out loud And definitely clear cookies--it's helped me with crediting, although Brandarama and Mega Promotions aren't crediting for me at all, not even with the gmail dot shift business. (IIRC, gmail is the only one you can do this with.) I'm going to e-mail IPS again after the holiday, although they haven't responded to my last 2 e-mails...
what gmail dot shift business?Confused

it's when you have your gmail account email address like so

[email protected]

that counts for 1 crediting by the offer systems on some offers
but you can fool them sometimes and get multiple credits for the same single email address by putting a dot in somewhere and pushing around to get credited multiple times like so
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]

and so forth

Word! I'll be emailing them about this soon...and again on the Reunion one, as I haven't been credited for that yet ... or a bunch of others, including Big Buck and Synovate. And Cell Rewards, which is a Gulfstream Internet sister company (sheesh, you'd think at least that one would credit the next day, but no...still waiting!) Confused

Must stop up at Walgreen's for a PPCC so I can do ValueMax, etc... did Blockbuster (already a member of Netflix), so we're awash in movies this weekend Smilie

Quote from ngwoosh :
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 always get those and GoRV'in to credit using Firefox clearing cookies before hand and using different information on each..make sure eveything is different.

EDIT: Just got Health Quotes (another great offer) and another GoRV'n to credit

Has anyone else done the York Photo and had it credit? If so, how long did it take?

Also, 1934 points..getting closer to a video. Still need to get a PPCC somewhere, that'll make the last 1000 easier.

I dunno about fraud man, I mean even with clicking all those offers that dont credit, we still get stuff for virtually free, so I for one am not going to complain about the ones that dont credit, ill just keep clickin till i get what I want.

I did York Photo yesterday; no credit yet. Like DaveHavok, I'm running out of things to click on. I don't want to put my SS# in, so the credit card apps are out. I was searching for a decent photo to do the Photostamps offer, and then it disappeared. Sure hope that one comes back!

No longer getting Go RVing in my e-mails. Sigh. I did enjoy watching those videos, and our Sunday paper has a story about a cross-country camping trip. How cool would that be, to RV across the country? If only I had the time and money! Big Grin
