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.

Got my 2 XM Satellite Radios from Satellitesweeps (redeemed last week). Both were shipped at the same time (redeemed them a few days apart). Came from WalMart, and not only are they Roady XT's, they are the more desirable old version (green/white packaging) with real FM transmitters!

The newer (FCC friendly) version of the XT (red box) requires a direct connection (called Sureconnect) to the vehicle's antenna to use the FM Modulator (more wiring involved).

A good day indeed.

Hooray! Heh, waiting a week will be no problem. I'm about halfway to a nano now, counting the points for which I have confirming emails and am still waiting for IPS to credit ... I would be happy if 2,000 points would now get me a 4GB second-gen nano ... I liked the old bright color scheme. These new colors seem too muted to me.

Of course, the iPod Touch looks totally awesome ... wonder how many points IPS will want for that??

Wow, I can't believe they dropped the points on vonage like that.
Of course, they've done that with other ones too (I remember when dotschools went from 60 to 48 to 96 now)
I don't think I'll do vonage now, all that hassle for 180 points?
I wish I'd done it at 360 tho...

I've seen the Roady XT for anywhere from 39 up to 79, except WalMart, who've been blowing 'em out at $28.76. Still a decent receiver with nice features (unlike the bargain basement dicontinued Sportscaster). Admittedly a modest prize, but took next to zero effort (2 days for the first one).

Quote from Kristin :
Nah, it's more like $0.08 per point ($80 per 1,000 points) which is exactly in line for 5,000 points for a $400 phone (and also lines up for the video, nano, and shuffle if you do the math). I'm thinking either IPS knew the price was going to drop or perhaps they were already getting it for the lower price, and that's why they were 'priced' at only 5k points from the beginning.
Ahhhh, you're right...bah me and my rushed math on that...hmmm that really sucks tho...5000 is hard workings to reach....

I'm needing to pickup speed again tho :\ hmmm maybe figure out which ones credit instantly and that you can do more than once...

Go RVing ... did this morning (from yet another bonus email) before heading to work, credited about an hour ago for 18 points.

I wonder if you did Vonage from one of the emails (one that hasn't expired, that is), would it credit at 360? And dot schools is showing up twice on my personal page, at 96 and 56 (I think) points. Go figure. Stamps.com is back--does anyone know, if I do that, can I get credit later if they bring photostamps back?
