Does anyone know of a REAL site that can get me a free ipod? I don't want it to ask for a credit card number, or do surveys. Affiliate links would be ok though.

It's just that I want to have a contest for my members to win the ipod, but I'm currently poor.:thumbdown:

Most of the offers require you to enter your CC so good luck if you find one that doesn't because I doubt you will

**Hobbit** · 07-28-2006, 10:33 PM

Well if they require a cc then they're OBVIOUSLY not free. *sigh*

I think you're missing the business model behind the whole "freebie" craze.

In fact, it is possible to get an iPod for free if you have 5 friends willing to help you out. I'm not going to go into it on this forum publicly (don't want to crowd things in about not earning money), but you can PM me if you want.

Usually they charge $1 for verification purposes and they refund it. So they're still free?

:yes:

They make money on you and your 5 referrals completting offers, in which they are affiliates for. The money they make is enough to get you a free iPod, assuming most people don't complete their offers. That's how I see it at least.

007 is absolutely correct. The mainstream "freebie" sites do have some offers that are free to do. You have to have a credit card to prove that you can pay if you go past the trial period. Stamps.com is a good example of this.

If you think you can get five friends, go for it with freeipods.com

Good luck!

wow i didnt even know that, i never trust anything online with credit card numbers, even though i dont have one for myself, i know people with bad experience in getting scammed, so even if they were free, for real, i still dont think that i would trust them until someone i know closely gets it

The CC is just to verify that you're a real person

The CC is just to verify that you're a real person, and hopefully one who will forget to cancel your offer at the end of the month and end up paying for a second month.

I know I had Rhapsody for a few months more than I had planned to.. among other offers as well.. LOL!

**Hobbit** · 07-29-2006, 03:41 AM

This has helped, I just wish I didn't have to enter my CC. Hmm, does anyone know of one that I can just refer a few people? umm I'm probably insane, it doesn't exist hah.

**Hobbit** · 07-29-2006, 03:45 AM

I changed my mind, I'm willing to put in my CC, BUT someone give me a legit site

. I've searched and I haven't found anything.

EDIT: So far I've read that freeipods are legit, any tips to not get charged?

Yes, exactly. I did something similar, so next time I cancelled the same day (for the offer).

**owb3d** · 07-30-2006, 04:23 AM

**fenryr** · 07-30-2006, 04:46 AM

No tips but if you do a trial offer, just be sure to cancel on time and double check again. They can be shady sometimes and charge you for the next month.

So what could he do?

www.freeipods.com is legit. However, there are a ton of sites that ship out faster.

Check out www.anything4free.com/forums and look in the Grade A legit section. You can pick any of those networks and rest assured that you'll get your item if you follow all the rules correctly.
