Help me get a free iPod (then get one for yourself)

iwz by iwz · Jul 22, 2004 · Ask eZabel · 288 views

Sup homies. Guess what? I'm abusing my admin privileges and using you all for my own benefit/profit! HAARRRRR

Haha, just kidding. Only I'm kinda serious.

Check this out: www.freeipods.com. If you click that link, sign up and complete one of the offers (most of which cost you nothing, or you can cancel out of almost immediately), you can help me to get a free iPod! I only need 5 of you to do it. I'll let you all know when I have 5 referrals completed.

That, my dear friends, rocks! Once you sign up using my referral you can then refer other people (you can post your referral links into this news story and ask others to use your referrals) and get your own free iPod. It takes 5 completed referral+offers in order to get one, and yes, it does work. Plenty of people on line have already received their free iPods.

So, maybe if you can't donate to eZabel.com right now (guilt-trip), you could at least use my referral ( http://www.freeiPods.com/default.aspx?referer=7253338 ) and complete an offer on there (such as bidding on something on eBay) to help me get a free iPod. AWESOME

Here's some proof that it does work:

Note: when you go to complete an offer, you have to turn off any popup blockers you have enabled. There are instructions that pop up from freeipods.com.

To use the eBay offer, you have to sign up with a NEW account and then bid on something. (Doesn't have to win the auction)

Also, I suggest using the Ancestry.com offer. It gives you instant completion of your offer. You must give them a credit card number to sign up, but you won't be charged if you cancel within about 12 days. Don't cancel immediately tho.

Nice, I used the Ancestry.com one, and my offer has already been completed. Most of the other offers take a few days, or weeks, to go active.

modestjesse modestjesseOG 2004

I don't even see Ancestry.com as an offer.

iwz iwz

I didn't see it until I logged out and then came back in... It appeared at some point

modestjesse modestjesseOG 2004

I signed up you can use my link as well:

It'd be nice to get another iPod. :)

iwz iwz

thanks! if you complete an offer, then I'll just need 4 more people :)

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

Ian, I think I did it right when I signed up so it counted for you. Here's mine:

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

I completed my offer..so everyone should click miiiine!

iwz iwz

Okay, a few of you have used my referral link and signed up, thanks!

Any questions on completing the offers?

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

I think the ebay one makes the most sense. Find a real competitive item and bid once.

iwz iwz

yeah, definitely. just make sure to make a new registration

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

Do I have to do it through their link? It hasn't been working right. And do I have to use the same e-mail address you think?

iwz iwz

You have to do it through their link, but I don't know if the email address matters.

Once you bid on something, though, it takes 2-3 for it to clear with freeipods.com, so give it time.

modestjesse modestjesseOG 2004

I did it with a different email addy. But it still hasn't shown that I've completed the process. I'll give it till Monday to see if it updates.

My friend did the Ancestery.com one and quit right away but I show on my screen that he completed the process.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

Ancestry.com hasn't been showing up as an offer for me.

iwz iwz

Yeah, I'm not sure how that works. Some people see it, some don't. And some people only see it after logging out and back in.

modestjesse modestjesseOG 2004

That's what I did, bid on an Atari system that I knew would sell for munch more then I bid.

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002

ok.. massage my feet and i'll give you a free ipod

deanh77 deanh77Founder

I signed up for the aol free trial. bring on the cds!!! maybe I can build a little shed out of them.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

I know it makes the most sense to get the big ipod..btu that little pink one is so freakin cute!

modestjesse modestjesseOG 2004

I really like the mini from playing around with it, but I've got over 3500 songs on mine now. That would never fit on the mini. It's nice to have a personal jukebox anywhere you go.

iwz iwz

How many of you have actually gone and completed an offer so far?

modestjesse modestjesseOG 2004

I did under your name. I'm still waiting for eBay to send my thing over saying I completed it. If I don't get it by monday I'll do it again with another promotion.

But here's mine:

deanh77 deanh77Founder

I did. can't get into my gmail account to check on it though... I have to verify my email address to freeipods.com

iwz iwz

seems you're not the only one having gmail problems right now. a bunch of people can't get in

deanh77 deanh77Founder

ok, I finally got in, it says that I completed my offer. I still have to verify my email address with freeipods.com, which doesn't seem to be working for some reason...

deanh77 deanh77Founder

ok, my offer completed. here's my referral link:

hi mrs. schaino! (mike's mom, in this particular instance)

rocksupastar rocksupastarFounder

if i had mod power id mark this as stupid and then kick dan in the head....

superhero superheroOG 2004

you already kicked my sister in the head, JERK

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

Does it work both ways? Like..because I used Ian's link does that also make him my friend and take care of one of my 5 offers?

iwz iwz

no, you have to find your own five people to use your link. you should post your link here (it's on the referral page

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

I thought I did..maybe it wasn't the right one?

Help me!!: http://www.freeiPods.com/default.aspx?referer=7261517

iwz iwz

Here's a quick way to complete an offer on there Without using a Credit Card:

deanh77 deanh77Founder

whats the latest on your status? get 5 people yet? (I should show up as one, my offer is completed)

iwz iwz

So far only 3 people have completed their offers. :( 2 to go. (You were the first)

I have like 14 total referrals tho, so I'm sure at least 2 other people have done their offers, it just has yet to clear.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

I did it! Did it show up?

iwz iwz

yep! yours, dean's, and another random person's came through

thanks!
