I know these have been floating around for a while, but they were only offering the 4GB ones and you had to accept 5 vendor offers.

Now you can get the 20GB 4th generation version which is the newest one. All you have to do is sign up for one offer. I picked one that can be dropped in just a couple of days for $5.95.


Use one of the links below.

Is this really legit? and if so, how many friends do you have to annoy to get one?

It works, although I'm still working on mine. Couple of my friends have them already. You need to refer 5 peeps.

Signing up for AOL is probably the easiest one and the one that won’t cost anything. It's a free trial (you do have to give CC info), but it's like a 45 day free trial. To make it easier I’m giving you the number to cancel it later before the free trial is over. The number is 1-888-265-8008.

I think I'm good on my referals, so someone else might want to add there own referal link up on here.

Thanks for those that signed up. Cheers and heady tunes for the winter.

I'm currently waiting for my IPOD to be shipped having completed the referals. I'll let you guys know when I get it. The offer is definitely legit. The problem is finding people willing to go thru the effort to finish it.

Mines all set to go, but ecost.com the company that ships them out is out of stock, supposedly getting more in on sep. 1st. This company, gratis, is legit, and also have www.freeflatscreens.com and www.freedesktoppc.com :D

I am helping out on an investigative project about this very topic right now here at the TV station; it is a legitimate offer, but there are a few catches.

I'll post more info when I get it, you'll find t interesting... ;)

Maybe I'm shooting myself in the foot here, but if you check out their terms (http://www.freeipods.com/Terms.aspx), it says this:

4. Availability of Product

(a) This website nor it's parent company, Gratis Internet, does not guarantee the availability of any product on our website; on occasion, products may be back ordered from our supplier or their manufacturer. In cases involving backordered products, we do not guarantee that the products will ship within any given period of time.

So basically, if they run out of the first batch...yer screwed. Doesn't seem fair to me.

I signed up for AOL, but it hasn't given me credit for it yet. How long does this take?

Anybody wanna help a brotha out?

Sign up for RealRaphsody for $.99 for the first month, it's actually a really cool service (but make sure you get a dedicated free email account)

I got my free 27 inch Sony Wega a couple months ago. I posted a thread about it, but nobody seemed to care to ask me how I did it. Oh, well. It works, that's all I know.

I need one more referral on my ipod bid. Here's the link if anyone wants to go for their's

Bump, cause I've needed 2 more people for months. The credit card offers are bullshit. 2 people have signed up through my referral and didn't get credit cause thay didn't use the cards. Fack.

BTW, a guy in my office got his a couple weeks ago, so it definitely works.

that company that runs freeipods.com has been slacking lately, very long waits for shipments, and a bunch of other crap. THeres a fairly new company, I've already received an ipod from them, but you can also get an iriver mp3 player, or a couple others, OR you can get 275 bucks paypal'd to you, or a check sent to you. heres the link for that deal

Red Baron did you do a report on this?

I remember trying that last fall. I signed up for a trial version of Netscape Internet and cancelled a few days later by email. Well turns out Netscape double charged my account and never cancelled either of the accounts until it drew out for another month, and I caught the problem on my bank statement and called them. Well next month I get yet another Netscape debit! I called them up again and they said, impossible! After much arguing they found the second account that was still active and finally cancelled and credited me for that.

On top of all this, my friends signed up for offers and the Gratis website never recognized them as completing it! Be careful with this as the companies that run the offers are shady and rely on people to forget to cancel or be to lazy to fix problems like I had. I spent about an hour on my phone to fix the situation and the tech support is obviously located in India because you can't understand nary a word customer support says.

I signed up and got the IPod Shuffle a couple weeks ago. I did the offer with completehome.com for $1, and on top of it all they sent me $20 in gift cards for Home Depot. Not a bad deal at all.

03-08-2005, 09:22 PM
I just looked, and there are a ton of offers, no more 5 crappy choices...If anyone wants in, please hook me up on your way.

I also checked out the freeIPod deal some days ago. A friend of mine did it, found 5 ppl and got his 20 gig IPod. He sold it on ebay the same day for $270. So I checked it out some more and came across some things that made me hesitate. :confused:
I am taking a E-Marketing class and our teacher told us to check the URL. If the site you would type in your CC info does not start with httpS://... it is not a secure site. Means anyone with a little skill can read your information. And if I wanted to get some CC info, I would try my luck with those free stuff pages.
So, freeIpod redirects you to the offer pages and they always have the VeriSign seal, which you can trust. But the URL is something like http://www.freeipods.yaddayadda.blockbuster.blabblabla... . You are on the Blockbuster page but still on the freeipod domain or something (sorry for the unprofessional advise). I noticed that and clicked on the link under the VeriSign seal. It says there, this site is VeriSign protected, but only if the URL is https://w ww.blockbuster.com, or whatever...
So, of course you have to get redirected by freeipods so that they know where you came from and can credit you. But still, it seems to me as if freeipods and those sites make money by collecting your data and selling it. :FIREdevil

Maybe I am wrong and I have never heard of someones credit card getting charged for stuff he did not order, but it's your decision.

Though,.... a free IPod would be sweet.... :)
