RETIRED: *Official* iPod Sweepstakes talk & OFF TOPIC talk! ****NEW iPODS ADDED**** Including new shuffles, nanos, classic & touch!

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.

How are you getting manual credit for offers that don't send you a confirmation email, like dot schools for example? I've done 1539 offers but have only 1739 points. I've done dotschools at least 10 times never getting credit.

As far as zooba goes, I read that warning, but the site does say you're charged 9.95 a month, but that if you return your first book your account is canceled and you're given a refund. Hopefully things will work out.

From their site:
"How can I cancel?
If you don't like your first book, simply send it back to us; we'll refund your money and cancel your membership. Otherwise, you may cancel at any time after having purchased a total of just 3 books. In order to cancel, go to the website, click on Account, go to Contact Us and select Cancel My Account from the drop-down menu box. Tell us why you would like to cancel and we'll take care of it for you!"

Apple said these have all been shipped to stores (at least the nano and video) and will be out this weekend. That means, no more old ipods, which means IPS should haul ass to get the new ones up there, as I don't think the old ipods are available anymore.
I also hope the new shuffle are out in the same timeframe, I want a light blue shuffle bad...

I'm having such a hard time caring about this "ipod touch" it seems really lame. It's just an overblown Ipod.
All I want is a nano, and a shuffle. The shuffle to beat around and not worry about, and the nano to keep my music on for reals.
This touchscreen is really lame, my PDA kicks the Iphone's butt.

Quote from MattMcQ :
Sent my email yesterday asking for Manual Credit for 956 pts. Also attached all my email/zip offers just to see if they would give me anything.

They just credited 875 of the 956 (1 Dot for 96, not the 56 pt one, gave me 8 for eplay not 20, and didn't credit Coastal Synergy 13)
Then they also gave me credit on 56 pts. of email/zip offers!!!! (of the 334 I'm waiting on)

Big time...total I got 931 manual points today!!
Good for you, but frustrating for me, because I got an email refusing to credit me for 24 pts of email/zips, and am still waiting on another 400+ points I've emailed them about (of which 160 are backed up by confirmation emails). Sigh.

I got a private phone voicemail from one of the schools on Dot schools; will send that as backup if it doesn't credit in a week or so...

Starbucks integration? How much more desperately trying to be hip can Apple be?
Would you like an extra shot of pretentiousness with your coffee sir?

Wow, and it's going to take them until 2009 to have this feature totally rolled out?
LAME
