We've all got some kind of iPod for free or nearly free, and so can YOU!
Those who have received.....
iPhone or $430 GC
iPod Touch
iPod Video
iPod Classic
iPod Nano
iPod Shuffle
iTunes Giftcard
IPS Phone number 561-852-7377 x 203
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).

--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.

Quick Tip for Faster Completion of Offers :
Just another idea: I think that it's a good idea to use a separate (portable) web browser when completing this offer, as I dislike the various tracking cookies that all these sites will put on your computer. Download Firefox Portableand use it (along with Roboform Portableif you are going to be filling out the little boxes) to complete the IPS offers!
Friendly Tip when doing Offers
Make sure you keep track of the offers you do, at least the paid ones. If you do not get credit for them after a week, you can forward the confirmation for manual credit. If you are doing a paid offer MAKE SURE YOU READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THAT OFFER BEFORE COMMITTING SO YOU DO NOT FIND YOURSELF WITH HIDDEN CHARGES. Write down the name of the offer, CS# and any other information you may need if you do not end up keeping the product.
SomeoneNew's IPS Beginners Guide (Ver. 1.01)
Feel free to keep updating this list, as we all know getting MCR for offers at IPS is very slim. So, if you have success with a paid offer be sure to list it here so other people know.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this site legit?
Yes
How can they afford to give us these prizes?
An affilate company pays IPS for each new lead they get from you trying the offer. IPS will then share a portion of the profits they recieve with you.
Do I have to use real information when signing up for the offers?
No, but if you do not you risk the chance of IPS putting your account on hold. Some tips are to sign up for a free voicemail service such as AimPhoneLine.com and getting a seperate e-mail account (Yahoo,Gmail) for these offers.
The only thing you are going to be getting is a ton of SPAM e-mail and of course some phone calls. Most of the offers do not send snail mail, unless your requesting information on something that would require it. Just throw it in the trash if you don't want it. It's not going to do any harm using your real address.
What is the Sweepstakes portion of this site?
Each time you click on an offer, you earn an entry into the daily drawing for a free ipod shuffle. If you are selected you will recieve an e-mail letting you know you've one.
When you win you will receive an email from [email protected] subject: Congratualtions you have won an iPod Shuffle!
Dear XXX:
The purpose of this email is to notify you that you were selected as the winner of yesterday's drawing in the iPodSweepstakes.com Daily Sweepstakes. Congratulations, you have won a 1 GB iPod Shuffle.
Following is a list of what is required in order to get your iPod:
1. In order to verify your identity and date of birth, please provide us with a photocopy of your driver's license or your passport.
2. Please print out the Sweepstakes Affidavit of Eligibility located at http://www.ipodsweepstakes.com/IPOD_SWEEPSTAKES_AFFIDAVIT.html , complete it, sign it and have it notarized. Please make sure to fill-in all of the blanks.
3. A clear (preferably color) photograph of you. A small, headshot photo is best. A digital photo is preferred and you can email that to me at [email protected]. If you do not have a digital photo, you can send us a regular photo.
4. A few comments from you about your reaction to winning the 1 GB iPod Shuffle, your feelings about iPodSweepstakes.com, etc.
Please send all of the above (except the digital photo) by regular mail to:
Phil Nadel
iPodSweepstakes.com
945 Clint Moore Road
Boca Raton, FL 33487
If you have any questions whatsoever, please do not hesitate to email me at [email protected] or call me at 561-852-7377, ext. 201.
Thank you and again, congratulations!
Sincerely,

Do I have to submit my SSN number to them?
Only if you win $600 or more between all of their sites.
https://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?
When does this sweepstakes end? (directly from website thanks SomeoneNew)
How much is each point worth?
Based on current values each point is worth approximately 7.5 cents
How long will it take to get " " points?
Based on current trends, people have earned on average about 1,500 points a month. It all depends on how much time you put into it and what offers you do.
Can I do an offer twice?
That depends if your ethical or not, technically you should be able to complete each offer once through your personal page and then if they e-mail it to you once every time that offer is e-mailed. However, IPS has finally started to crack down on this and offers may appear unavailable after you've done them once.
Why did you bring up ethics?
Consider you paying a company to advertise your product through incentive based advertising. You get a bunch people signing up for your product more than once, basically just joining for the freebie. Most of these offers are offering their product as a trial or at a discounted rate and are loosing money by offering it. If you abuse these offers you are just bringing the industry down with you. Sure, maybe you don't care but if you see advertisers drop out or the point values for offers decrease you know why.
What are you on? I don't give a crap.
You might not, but it should be said regardless. Companies such as Vonage and True.com (both very highly paying offers) pulled out for this reason. No I'm not the moral police and you can do as you wish. It's just something that some people aren't aware of when coming into these type of sites.
Why aren't my Zip/EMail submits crediting?
These are notorious for having a successfully low rate of crediting. It's important to clear your cookies between each of them as they are mostly from the same company.
Nobody can tell you why some people have better luck than others, it's something that hasn't been solved. Some say they have better luck using Safari (Mac's browser) DSL over Cable , Firefox etc. It's not proven so if you don't get credit you can always try again.
What offers should I do?
That's up to you to decide. Nobody can tell you, because it is against sites terms. You can get a feel of what offers people have success in by reading the thread. If your curious as to what all offers are available you can sign in using the Trakker ( available here http://www.ispfusion.com/SurveyTracker/ ) and sort by point value.
Do I have to keep the offer?
If you don't like the product you are not forced to keep it. However, you should at least give it a genuine try.
If I don't like it how do I ....
It's not something that should be spoken of. All that information can be found on the companies website. Check the FAQ/Help/Terms section you should be able to find what you are looking for.
IPS seems to have stopped sending me e-mails?
This seems to happen randomly, and nobody has a for sure reason. If it's been over a week and you've not received any e-mails try changing your e-mail address from your account and see if that helps. Of course this is if everyone else is reporting that they haven't received them as well. If that doesn't help send IPS an e-mail and see if they can investigate.
Note: IPS rarely accepts MCR and gives you the points. It doesn't hurt to try though.
What is a manual credit request?
A manual credit request or MCR is a request for an offer that you have completed but have not received points for.
When should I submit for manual credit?
You should wait at least one business week before submitting for manual credit. This gives time for the advertiser to report back. If you do not receive credit, forward your sign up mail (including full headers) to [email protected]
What is the best way to submit a manual credit request?
Definitely not through the Member Support Form on the site.
You will need to send/forward proof of the offer anyway.
Thanks to dvsdevelopment for sharing this:
I have never been denied a manual credit. Since nothing credits for me all I do are the large ones and request credit. Heres exactly how I do it:
I open the confirmation email and click forward. When the new page opens up I send it to [email protected] and change the subject to:
ipodsweepstakes.com Member Support - Crediting of Points [email protected]
Then I add the following in the email body:
Name = Your Name
Email = [email protected]
Comments = Transaction Date: 12/07/2007
Offer: Offer Goes Here
Number of Points:32
Has this question been submitted before? No
Question/Comment:
Hello. I signed up for OFFER but never received credit. Thank you very much.
Thats it. I never use the customer support and I always just forward the email directly but change the subject and add their wording to the body. And I always send the email as soon as I complete the offer...I dont wait 5 days. Every credit Ive requested is granted the next business morning.

Quick Tip for Faster Completion of Offers :
Just another idea: I think that it's a good idea to use a separate (portable) web browser when completing this offer, as I dislike the various tracking cookies that all these sites will put on your computer. Download Firefox Portableand use it (along with Roboform Portableif you are going to be filling out the little boxes) to complete the IPS offers!
Friendly Tip when doing Offers
Make sure you keep track of the offers you do, at least the paid ones. If you do not get credit for them after a week, you can forward the confirmation for manual credit. If you are doing a paid offer MAKE SURE YOU READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THAT OFFER BEFORE COMMITTING SO YOU DO NOT FIND YOURSELF WITH HIDDEN CHARGES. Write down the name of the offer, CS# and any other information you may need if you do not end up keeping the product.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this site legit?
Yes
How can they afford to give us these prizes?
An affilate company pays IPS for each new lead they get from you trying the offer. IPS will then share a portion of the profits they recieve with you.
Do I have to use real information when signing up for the offers?
No, but if you do not you risk the chance of IPS putting your account on hold. Some tips are to sign up for a free voicemail service such as AimPhoneLine.com and getting a seperate e-mail account (Yahoo,Gmail) for these offers.
The only thing you are going to be getting is a ton of SPAM e-mail and of course some phone calls. Most of the offers do not send snail mail, unless your requesting information on something that would require it. Just throw it in the trash if you don't want it. It's not going to do any harm using your real address.
What is the Sweepstakes portion of this site?
Each time you click on an offer, you earn an entry into the daily drawing for a free ipod shuffle. If you are selected you will recieve an e-mail letting you know you've one.
When you win you will receive an email from [email protected] subject: Congratualtions you have won an iPod Shuffle!

I just went on ips' faq page, because I remember them having something about the "contest ending in march 2008" although most everyone believed it would be extended. And just checking it two minutes ago, here is what it says:
:
3. Timing: Sweepstakes begins at 12:00:01 a.m. ET on Monday May 16, 2005 and ends at 11:59:59 p.m. ET on Wednesday, March 31, 2010. |
How much is each point worth?
Based on current values each point is worth approximately 7.5 cents
How long will it take to get " " points?
Based on current trends, people have earned on average about 1,500 points a month. It all depends on how much time you put into it and what offers you do.
Can I do an offer twice?
That depends if your ethical or not, technically you should be able to complete each offer once through your personal page and then if they e-mail it to you once every time that offer is e-mailed. However, IPS has finally started to crack down on this and offers may appear unavailable after you've done them once.
Why did you bring up ethics?
Consider you paying a company to advertise your product through incentive based advertising. You get a bunch people signing up for your product more than once, basically just joining for the freebie. Most of these offers are offering their product as a trial or at a discounted rate and are loosing money by offering it. If you abuse these offers you are just bringing the industry down with you. Sure, maybe you don't care but if you see advertisers drop out or the point values for offers decrease you know why.
What are you on? I don't give a crap.
You might not, but it should be said regardless. Companies such as Vonage and True.com (both very highly paying offers) pulled out for this reason. No I'm not the moral police and you can do as you wish. It's just something that some people aren't aware of when coming into these type of sites.
Why aren't my Zip/EMail submits crediting?
These are notorious for having a successfully low rate of crediting. It's important to clear your cookies between each of them as they are mostly from the same company.
Nobody can tell you why some people have better luck than others, it's something that hasn't been solved. Some say they have better luck using Safari (Mac's browser) DSL over Cable , Firefox etc. It's not proven so if you don't get credit you can always try again.
What offers should I do?
That's up to you to decide. Nobody can tell you, because it is against sites terms. You can get a feel of what offers people have success in by reading the thread. If your curious as to what all offers are available you can sign in using the Trakker ( available here http://www.ispfusion.com/SurveyTracker/ ) and sort by point value.
Do I have to keep the offer?
If you don't like the product you are not forced to keep it. However, you should at least give it a genuine try.
If I don't like it how do I ....
It's not something that should be spoken of. All that information can be found on the companies website. Check the FAQ/Help/Terms section you should be able to find what you are looking for.
IPS seems to have stopped sending me e-mails?
This seems to happen randomly, and nobody has a for sure reason. If it's been over a week and you've not received any e-mails try changing your e-mail address from your account and see if that helps. Of course this is if everyone else is reporting that they haven't received them as well. If that doesn't help send IPS an e-mail and see if they can investigate.
Note: IPS rarely accepts MCR and gives you the points. It doesn't hurt to try though.
What is a manual credit request?
A manual credit request or MCR is a request for an offer that you have completed but have not received points for.
When should I submit for manual credit?
You should wait at least one business week before submitting for manual credit. This gives time for the advertiser to report back. If you do not receive credit, forward your sign up mail (including full headers) to [email protected]
What is the best way to submit a manual credit request?
Definitely not through the Member Support Form on the site.
You will need to send/forward proof of the offer anyway.
Thanks to dvsdevelopment for sharing this:
I have never been denied a manual credit. Since nothing credits for me all I do are the large ones and request credit. Heres exactly how I do it:
I open the confirmation email and click forward. When the new page opens up I send it to [email protected] and change the subject to:
ipodsweepstakes.com Member Support - Crediting of Points [email protected]
Then I add the following in the email body:
Name = Your Name
Email = [email protected]
Comments = Transaction Date: 12/07/2007
Offer: Offer Goes Here
Number of Points:32
Has this question been submitted before? No
Question/Comment:
Hello. I signed up for OFFER but never received credit. Thank you very much.
Thats it. I never use the customer support and I always just forward the email directly but change the subject and add their wording to the body. And I always send the email as soon as I complete the offer...I dont wait 5 days. Every credit Ive requested is granted the next business morning.

Ok, I haven't really perfected this method, and it's still time consuming. But basically it requires you to change your ip address, by using a US proxy, mainly type 1 and type 2 (anonymous and high anon.) Finding these proxys are the time consuming part of it all. The best method seems to be going to different proxy websites and looking in their forums and throughout their website for these.
I use elite proxy switcher for the program that controls using the proxy. (Using their plugin for firefox is really nice too!)
This works for some that don't want to post more than once, but doesn't work on all.
But still your best bet would be to log the ads you do (at least the larger ones) and hope they will manually post them. I called, and the guy who I talked to didn't sound like he wanted to help me out, he just told me to email Susan, which I did around thrus. and I haven't heard anything back yet....
This is much less likely to get you banned.

Right now, I'm going through my old emails and trying to get one of each of the offers that regularly credit for me, then changing email, etc. and doing it again.
For me, these offers are: Classmates, Healthy Samples, Final Payoff (even though it says you only have to go to p.2, I have to do the whole thing to get it to credit), Free Biz, Epoll, FusionCash as well as the Target, Subway, Walmart offers. Now that I'm using hotmail and IE, the Home Depot, Greenfield, Bally's and some of the auto insurance offers are starting to work for me. The Responsive Health ones used to be easy points, now they're starting to get very hard to clear. And Brandarama still rarely works for me. Anyone getting significantly different results?
