   Hmm, I just tried this and was told to use a valid email address. Guess they don’t like Gmail. Seeing as nothing happends when I click on their privacy policy and terms and conditions links I have no idea if that is really the case or not. (Ok just tried in another browser. Must be the Firefox popup blocker. But the indicater wasn’t showing? Oh well.) Seeing as I use my Gmail account for such questionable stuff (that could potentialy generate alot of unwanted email) I guess I’ll miss out. Too bad.

   Hey Paul!

   I signed up with your link. When you get your 5 can you change the link to mine.

   Thanks & let me know.

   Yeah, the site is sketchy during registration with Firefox. I just went with IE.

   I was able to use my gmail email so far but i’m trying to finish up the process. The one guys process of using AOL seems maybe worth the try. Yeah, and Firefox didn’t work completely, yet seems okay now after logining in.

   They added registering for ebay and placing one bid as an option… that’s much better than AOL, I think. No cancelling required… just bid low on something with 7 days left and you won’t spend a dime (unless you want to), and you’ll have the ebay account handy for later use.

   So can anyone think of a way scam these guys?

   Like somebody signing up multiple times through other people’s links with multiple fake adresses and credit cards?

    I’m sure they verify. And if not, they’re not really getting scammed… their advertisers are. So it’s probably better not to do that. :-)

    yes, there are lots of those out there. This isn’t one of them, really. Yes, eventually people won’t get to participate because it grows exponentially, but it’s not something you’re paying for, so they’re not bilking you. And there are lots of people who have received theirs in the links referenced above, and in a variety of other sites if you google it.

    Scrivs said his was ordered and set at pending, so we’ll see soon, from someone we know isn’t working for them. :-)

    Their server seems to be getting slower and slower though. Guess they weren’t ready for the traffic. Ipods are much more exciting to people than most other equivalently priced goods, I guess. :-)

    Daniel – just be patient… take a look at each of the offers, and the second popup window will tell you how long each of them takes (max).
    It looks like AOL takes a day or two… the friend I helped register in the evening with the ebay one was confirmed the next morning.

    (e) Users may refer more than 5 friends to try and maximize likelihood of getting credit and minimize the time it takes, but cannot receive credit for more than 1 iPod.

    What am I supposed to do if I already signed up without using a referal? Am I out of luck? Most places expect you to sign up via a referral, understandably. I can think of maybe two friends/family that might help me out. Any ideas on getting the other three?

    My part of the offer was completed and already confirmed. I’m not going to post my referral link here based on the disclaimer, but if someone can point me to a place willing to help me out that would be great.

    Thanks.

    Only need 3 more complete referrals, use the ancestry.com because it is quick or the AOL one if you don’t feel safe with the other one. Thanks.

    Richard – all that means is no one else benefited from your signup. It doesn’t affect your ability to complete the requirements in any way. You just have to complete one offer and get 5 friends to complete one using your referral link.

    Sucks, but it makes sense I suppose. Those flat screen TVs and monitors all run around $375-$450 and the ipods run from $250-$300…so they’d need more signups. That and the flat screen CRTs must cost a bundle to ship because they weigh so much.
    And yes, it changed for people who’d already signed up… but not sure if it changed for people who already had 5 friends who’d completed their offers.

    But in the signup email it says 5 people. Now I can see if they sent me an email a few days before stating they were going to change it for the ones that didn’t have 5 but either way, thought Id give a heads up since it suprised me when I saw that. I emailed them but am waiting for a reply.

    Word of advice: eBay DOES NOT ask for credit cards on registration IF it uses what it thinks is a fee web-based email account. Use your ISP’s free mail service (in my case verizon) and register for eBay as many times you’d like under 5 FREEIPOD accounts.

    Do an advanced search for working/sealed electronics in the 5-10 doller range (that have just recently begun) and bid.

    Sony Wega Received: Free Flat Screens Proves To Be True

    When the free iPods site became known, many were quick to write it off as a scam, even after proof was presented to show otherwise. Soon after, the free flatscreens promotion started, and again people cried foul. Well, to…

    Ha, sorry about that, yeah, I got outbid. XD

    But um, my stupid friend bid on a good digital camera worth $500 for $384 that still has 6-7 days left. Now tell me someone will outbid THAT? :(

    Anyway, does anyone know how long it takes for it to update on how much complete referrals you have? It’s been a while and my friend already completed his offer.

    Does someone know a way I could get more referrals? It’s so hard to get one & I really need help. If you’re willing to add my new Conga Line, would you?

    If not, I’m sorry about this. If you do need help on something I could offer to help (graphic designing, HTML stuff?), and maybe you could help me get a referral? I feel really stupid making this comment. :/

    Happy -
    Takes a while for some of the offers to confirm… ebay is a 1-3 days, AOL’s 2-3, a couple of them are instant, and a few take 2-4 weeks. Click on each offer and it’ll tell you how long confirmation takes.

    And if you weren’t clear that people’d have to sign up for an offer when you sent it to them, they probably wouldn’t do one.

    Give it some time. By the end of the week, you should have more confirmed. :-)

    I signed up under someone’s referral link, typing in only my email and password. I did not click the confirmation mail and I didn’t enter anything else. However I think I did confirm the other account, but still didn’t enter anything. I didn’t complete my offer or anything else. I did this twice (on accident) and on the third time I actually added my personal info, completed my offer, etc. Is this considered multiple accounts? Will that person I referred be placed on hold?

    Here’s my question. Maybe someone will know. My friend and I both signed up and got our five referals. However, even though I secured my five before he did his five, his five were confirmed within the site before my five (I currently only have two in the green, one of them being him).

    If there a particular reason that something like this would happen?

53. JC

    July 28th, 2004 at 6:18 pm

    53

    Seems simple enough. His 5 people signed up for offers with faster results than yours did, or there were some irregularities with yours, like mismatching email addresses or something. Or 3 of your friends signed up and didn’t do offers, while all 5 of his did. A couple of the offers have instantaneous results — the ones that require you to buy stuff, or get “free” stuff while paying shipping and handling… the pet medicine one and the professor video ones, I think.

    Hi all, was wondering if anyone has noticed the security issue from the freeipods site for when they try and sign up for these free offers?
    All the offer’s I’ve tried (except the AOL one since I don’t want that on my system) are asking for confidential information on an unsecured link. I’m wondering if I’m the only one who has noticed this or if anyone else has?
    Cause I would really like to do this, but not at the risk of having my information spread out there.

61. JC

    July 30th, 2004 at 2:27 pm

    61

    Actually, that’s not the case. It probably looks that way because they wrap the page you’re linking to in a frameset and the frameset might not be SSL… but your submission to ebay or wherever is definitely secure… view source and you’ll see it’s all SSL.

    Edward, my friend placed an order on Thursday 7/29, she still hasn’t gotten it yet (obviously not that quick). It takes a few days to over a few weeks (or maybe a month +) to ship.

    Hey I have a Q, how come I can’t access the freeipods site on this computer but I can on my sister’s computer? I could before. Also we’re on the same network. Strange.

    Sweet! I’ve been wanting an iPod for way too long now, and the chance to finally get one without having to sell my soul to the devil, is making me really excited. :D

    Congrats on getting the iPod, just make sure you don’t use the headphones it came with in public, or you’ll get mugged. I suggest using Shure E2c earphones, which I’ve been using for a while now and dearly love for their supreme quality.

    Enjoy the new iPod!

    Excellent, Scrivs. Can’t wait to get mine. I have a 3g 15 gig that I bought a year or so ago, but I’m sure I can find a good home for it. :-)

    And I’ll second Matt on the E2 earphones… you may recall I posted about them on my site, and also had a post here about various competitors… just keep an eye on ipodlounge.com, they post special deals on the shure phones from MicrophoneSolutions.com pretty frequently, you can usually get the e2 phones for about 75 bucks (e2 & e2c are the same thing with different packaging… e2c is targeted at consumers, e2 at professional musicians, but the phones are identical. with the e3 series, the only difference is that the C version is white to match the ipod, and only the part that goes in your ear, not the cable)

    JC: I was reading your weblog, and saw that the joi-ito.com discussion sold you on the E2c. Amazing because that is the exact same discussion that made me buy the E2c too. That guy should get some compensation from Shure, I’m thinking he had convinced a lot of people to buy the E2c. :)

    I meant to say, its hard trying to get rubes to sign up under your referral, esp. when they can’t seem to complete an offer. I myself went for the GM card offer on my first link, but it hasn’t registered and its been several weeks, so i went AOL and that was 10-4d in a week. now i need average thinking people to get their rear in gear.

    Ok yeah, so I thought it was all gravy for the longest. I had gotten 4 completed referrals and I knew I had 1 more in the bag (a family member purchased something off of petcarerx.com). So a week later from that date, I’m still sitting here at 4 completed referrals waiting on that 5th one. I have sent 6 emails to varioius email addresses at gratis internet as well as to freeipods.com’s support address. I have received no response in a full week. Believe me, i want to believe in this thing, and I do for hte most part, but when people who are doing ebay offers and getting 1-3 day verification, when i had a family member to actually make a purchase, and still not received her verification. Something just isn’t right with that. Anyone had response from freeipod.com’s or gratisinternet.com’s tech/service support?

    What part of “Comments are to be used to discuss this deal and not for posting of your referral links” is so bloody difficult to understand? But then, I suppose if you’re too lazy to type out the word “people,” actually reading an article isn’t going to happen, either.

    did you guys have to verify your email to get the ipod like it says? i clicked “verify email” a day or two ago but never got anything (checked my junk mail folder just in case but no go).

    R, A friend of mine had that problem as well, and is still waiting on verification for her purchase from petcarerx.com. Thats the most frustrating part about it. I haven’ theard back from freeipods.com’s tech/customer support on the matter either.

    Linus, they are under heavy traffic, just bear with it. You will get that several times aday, especially in the mid-afternoon when they are more proned to update the status of accounts.

    can anyone help out on this freeipods offer, I can do the same if you just explain how to back out of those offers! Thanks to all!!!

    I am sitting in PROGRESS 2 … since Monday afternoon. Hoping to advance.

    On the topic of the DATE changing when the STATUS changes (ie. from PENDING to IN PROGRESS 2 to IN PROGRESS 3) … my date hasn’t changed, and I’ve moved from PENDING to IN PROGRESS 2.

    I’m anxiously awaiting the iPod :)

    nothing has changed for me status-wise since monday either… i’ve referred a few people since then and they haven’t even showed up on my progress yet. i’m guessing it’s just really busy, hopefully they’ll updaten everything within the next couple of days.

    Scrivs – here’s a link for ipodlounge… post on Shure e3c earphones on sale for about 125 bucks. The e2c are less expensive, but the e3c is more comfortable (softer in-ear material) and has slightly better sound, or rather, slightly different sound… better is subjective. They’re also a good bit smaller.

    Cool, for now I went with some Sony earphones with some noise cancelling technology. Left them in the car, else I would shoot you a link. Work very well, comfortable, and look uber cool on my globe (head).

    Does anyone know if they freeze your account if you do two accounts from the same computer? Do they check your IP Address? I’m saying if you have a different, name, home address, and email address, but you do it on the same computer, so you share an IP Address.

94. Scrivs

    August 5th, 2004 at 4:32 pm

    94

    I am pretty sure you would be safe Nathan as long as you logged out of your account. Of course if you weren’t logged out I don’t see how you could register a new account anyways. In any case, they were not prepared for the onslaught of traffic. My freeflatscreens account from waiting for 2 days to 7 days.

    You get what you pay for.

95. JC

    August 5th, 2004 at 5:13 pm

    95

    I dunno. I’d clean the cookies first, just in case. The IP address is irrelevant… people using AOL all share a small number of IPs, people on a network behind a firewall, all those have the same IP.

    If you do all 5, they might be a little iffy… who knows? :-)

    I have a question. I didn’t realize at first that it said that you can’t have 2 in the same household and my sister signed up for it as well. I emailed them to ask them if they can delete her off of my referal list. Do you think they will put my account on hold or delete it because i asked well ahead of time?

    ok guys wats poppin..umm can sumone who already got their ipod answer this question..thanks..well right now gratis is confirming that i got 5 ppl..that’ll take a week..my question is..after i get my ipod..can i use the same account to get another ipod? will they clean out your referral list..sumone describe to me what happens thanks dudes. 1

    Hey Scrivs, how do I know what cookies to delete? I don’t want to delete all my cookies. Can I just do it in a different browser instead of IE? I’ve logged in in IE and Netscape, so should I do it in my realplayer browser?

100. Scrivs

     August 5th, 2004 at 9:00 pm

     100

     I have been getting through on all browsers so it doesn’t hurt to try another one. I would think the cookie would use the freeipods.com domain.

     they DO check IPs. this is unfortunate for me because, although i didn’t cheat, 2 of my referrals were made from the office i work at and hence apparently shared IPs. so i got denied for 2 of my referrals even though they were legit. you better believe i sent customer service an email about that…

     Bob -
     I chose the AOL 45 day one. came in handy the other day, too, I had to test a site in AOL. But I’ll cancel before it’s up. Most people probably chose the ebay offer. It’s the easiest.

106. iridium

     August 7th, 2004 at 9:16 pm

     106

     Unfortunately they have closed the ebay offer. I have completed my offer (completed it a week ago) and have only 1 referal complete his part yet. I have 21 other who signed up and are jacking off or have not completed offers. That sucks, ppl should complete offers when they sign up. I hope my 4 other refereals complete their offers soon and I get my free iPod

107. JC

     August 8th, 2004 at 1:01 am

     Maybe they’d be more inclined to complete their offers if you didn’t insult them?

108. Remy

     August 9th, 2004 at 3:51 am

     108

     Since they closed the EBay and ancestry.com the easiest ones left are the two AOLs (Broadband and MUSICnet) and Rhapsody. I reccomend Rhapsody because you can cancel your subscription within the client so you don’t have to bother with customer service.
     Any thoughts?

     Not to be an ass, but it will get you no where telling everyone to respond like that. We got some sensible minds here my friend. Use yours.

     This is a total scam. I had 6 unique signups under me five of them completed their offers, and after about 5 days they were all rejected claiming that they were not unique. How could that be possible when six different people signed up under me?
