wildblue 7 #1 May 12, 2005 There was some discussion awhile ago about the free iPod site - well my free iPod showed up today. A few tips if you're going to do it: Don't be in a hurry. Everything with these people takes forever. If they say "...normally takes 3-5 days" plan on 10-15. I think it was almost 2 months ago I first submitted my account for review/order, that took a week, they put me on hold for what they thought was fraudulent activity, took a week to clear that, they reviewed again, finally placed order. Yes, they review your account. So, don't try to sign up for multiple offers yourself... And if someone else in your household is going to sign up, have them use their work address or something. I wasn't trying real hard, I think it was 8 or 9 months ago I first signed up... if you're really in a hurry for this free thing, just go buy it. Get a new email account. Whatever email address you sign up with will start getting spam. Start a new hotmail account or something. When you send someone the link/email to sign up, tell them to check their junk mail if they didn't get it. Also, ask them to tell you they've signed up and wait for your "ok" to complete an offer. I missed out on 2 people doing something because of whatever reason, it didn't give me credit for referring them. Have them sign up first, then check your referals to make sure they're there. Do offers you're actually interested in. I can't say enough good things about the blockbuster online dvd rental, so I've been telling people to try that one. The rest... eh... I wouldn't suggest doing something and trying to remember to cancel it later (and don't cancel right after signing up, that's part of their "review for fraudulent activity) If there's not an offer there that interests you, check back later - they change. Actually, I was planning on doing the Napster trial, but it's not there anymore. So if there is one there you're interested in, hop on it. Most of the offers really are free, but some might require you to pay something to join, or if you forget to cancel during the trail they charge you, or you have to buy more stuff later... read the print carefully to figure out exactly what they expect you to do to get credit. I'll let someone else put their referral link in this thread if they want - you can only get one offer from each site. I am however going to start with the Free PSP site now, and give that one a shot. So, if you want to try, click that and sign up, and let me know you did. EDIT to fix clicky... EDIT to add (because I think it's important and in case someone doesn't read all through the thread) Make sure you allow pop-ups for the site and read exactly what you have to do - there's one or two that you don't get credit for the offer if you don't go beyond the free trial. Most of them it doesn't matter though. Heck, I even got a $10 gift certificate to amazon.com with the offer I did! And in case you didn't read on the site what you were signing up for, you do need to get 5 other people to do the same thing you just did. It's not really all that hard - especially with something you might actually want to try like blockbuster online. Some of the other offers seem like a ripoff though. But keep checking back, the offers change from time to time.it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottbre 0 #2 May 12, 2005 You're suck a lame-O, you did all that crap and didn't even get an iPod photo. The free ipod referral program I did was much simpler and easier than yours: All I had to do was referral 379 different dollars to this one company, and they sent me, completely free of charge, a brand new 60GB ipod photo!! It's getting delivered today. Best part of the referral program I used: no SPAM. "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildblue 7 #3 May 12, 2005 I don't get any spam either... an acocunt I never check does though. $379 is 18 jumps. I don't really need an iPod (or even a photo iPod) - my old 32mb Nomad II was working just fine. But hey, for free....it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I definitely don't need 60 gigs. Plus, those white ear buds? They suck. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightingale 0 #5 May 12, 2005 Cool! I signed up here for the iBook, but they have iPods and all kinds of other gizmos too. My brother got an iPod from here a while back. The Free Project Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have to get 5 people to sign up under your referal number and do one of the offers too before you get an ipod.it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #11 May 12, 2005 WELL THATS NOT FREE!!! it's the same with the psp.My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conundrum 1 #12 May 12, 2005 QuoteWELL THATS NOT FREE!!! it's the same with the psp. Actually it is free, just cancel the offer you select and you pay nothing. If 5 people do that under your name, voila; and no one pays anything. I never got mine becaue I couldn't get 5 people to do it under me, but I know several people who have gotten iPods and TV's for nothing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nanook 1 #18 May 17, 2005 Multi-level advertising. You solicit for the companies, saving them a lot of overhead and advertising costs. Smart. It seems to me anybody that has succeeded in getting a free ipod has earned it. Even if they didn't pay for anything._____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
