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.

Do you think IPS will have both the 8G and 16G ipod touch and how many points do you think it would be?

Probably just the 8GB, they seem to have the lowest amount of memory on the other things. I can't be sure, though, because they did have the 8GB iPhones when there were also the 4GB ones. So, they might possible have the 16GB touch.

I figure it will probably be 4,000 points, though, assuming they keep everything else at the current price amount.

ill probably do that too, but i dont see any sane person spending all that money on 16gb. shake head If any ipod should have a 12o gb capacity, it should be the touch, especially with the big screen nod

I'm (relatively) new, too, and found it helpful to read the first 20 pages of this thread, then the last 20 (which at the time was in the 360s, IIRC!).

As far as IPS offers, Go RVing is always good (credited 5 times for me so far, and the videos are actually kind of fun to watch). Clean Air credited pretty quickly, as did Continental insurance quote and Affordable Health. I'm doing Blockbuster now and will sign up for eFax soon, plus I've heard Great Fun and Complete Home are good. However, I need to get a prepaid credit card before I do those. The Free Credit report one is also legit (and the only one I'd ever give my Social Security number to).

I"m waiting for Dot Schools, York Photo, Reunion, and several others to credit.

Keep a list of what you do each day (offer name, points, etc.) so that if you run into crediting problems, you can contact the help desk. GL!

I'm so frustrated, spent about an hour completing the e-mail & zip code offers & i was only credited 6 points. Most of them was the first time I entered them too.

Ok, I tried weeding through the posts in this thread on Vonage, and after realizing how many times it has been mentioned I'm just going to ask.

I want to do the trial, but I'd like to hear from somebody else that has done it first. With the "free router" they send you, my understanding is that if you cancel the service after 30 days you get charged for it. Did you have any trouble with that when you canceled within the thirty days? Are there any other catches I'm overlooking? It may even turn out that we keep the service (My wife and I have discussed it seriously several times) because we don't have a home phone... but I'd still like to know what I'm getting into.

I'm constantly getting the Vonage offer emailed, so it's time to just do it. Suggestions and experiences are greatly appreciated. Stick Out Tongue And thanks in advance.

They should start having in-between points for the other stuff. 2500 points for the 8GB nano would be cool!

So besides the colors, is there anything different about the shuffles? I'm just wondering if I should try to dump the ones I have in the old colors? I was saving them all gor christmas gifts, but maybe I should sell and just buy the new ones.
