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.

Unless it's something new you don't get shipping back however you get to keep 2 out of 3 of the CD's and whatever bonus they send you.
Their agreement stated:

"You can also return everything within 10 days and receive a full Shipping and Processing refund upon your request."

I made sure to read it in full before I agreed. Big Grin

I noticed that freecreditreport.com was an offer on IPS. 84 points!

I did it and though I haven't received credit yet I recommend it. It's free (just make sure you cancel the trial they plug you into), legit (experian credit report), and safe. My family has even recommended it to me in the past, just MAKE SURE you call and cancel. They'll charge you 12.95 a month after 30 days if you don't.

I just e-mailed IPS about another dotschools that didn't credit. I swear, dotschools never credit for me, I always have to do manual credits on them.
Any other bigger offers that are new?
Sitting pretty at 2117 points, I hope the new nano goes up on IPS tomorrow!

I've only ever gotten Dotschools to credit twice, once through e-mail and once on the Personal Page. I've emailed them about other ones, but I never get credit, even if it is a different one. Also, I'm not even sure if they're releasing the new iPods tomorrow, just announcing them from what I hear. So it might be a bit later that IPS gets them.

I'm thinking that since it's super hard to find Ipods in stores or online, and considering that apple usually announced Ipods and Imacs the same day they release them, they should be available from the apple store tomorrow. This makes me expect that we'll be able to get the new ipods very shortly, if not right away.

Wow on the video professor. I was wondering about mine... did you send everything back for a full shipping refund, or have you even gotten it in yet?
I kept what they sent for the "trial", called them and cancelled so they wouldn't charge me. The guy i talked to wasn't too pushy with upselling something else...fairly painless to cancel.

But they still charged you $6.95 for shipping which you won't get back.

I'm going to call and verify but according to the website you get it back if you send everything (the "free" ones too) back.

You just have to request it once you've sent the 1 disc back (and you need to call them to get a return code before you do) and you use an online form on their website .. look around the customer service link.

Anyone have any issues with zooba?

Anyone want to give me some lovely tips since I still need 3000 points for my damn iphone?

Sweet?

Sweet.

Thanks for the info... I'll probably just pay the shipping but that is good to know. Stick Out Tongue

I think somebody mentioned a catch with Zooba a while back but I'm not sure what it was.

Edit: Ah, here's what I was thinking of... https://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?sduid=238367&p=7642089&highlight=zooba#post7642089

Slightly OT, but if ooinkjet doesn't work out for folks as a place for good, cheap printer ink, I can recommend ink4art.com. I've been buying my printer ink from them for 10 years. Once you're on their e-mail list, you get discount codes pretty regularly, and their generic ink is great and the cheapest around--between their usual low prices and a discount coupon, I recently stocked up on black and color cartridges for $5 each for my Epson 777i.

The points are nice, but if all you wanted was a copy of your credit report, go to www.annualcreditreport.com for it. 100% free and you can get a report from each of the credit bureaus. No catch at all.Smilie
