Well, it took almost 2 months for us to get ours, but we got one. As did two other bloggers I know here in Houston. (One of those bloggers got a free TV from Gratis too, and I think a purse is on the way also.) And Promoguy got one too. So I don't think it's a scam, but I don't get why they aren't upgrading your completed offers. I'm sorry…

I've removed the link to spare anyone else from signing up. I've complained to them with no result. Basically, short story, they suck donkey balls.

I think it is a scam. I signed up and it never got credited, not for myself as having it done nor for the referer. I wrote an email and never heard back (one has to go through a bunch of web pages until one can send an email on the issue). The goods have long time arrived. Also emailing this company resulted in a dead line, i.e. no comment back. I definitely think it's a scam at this point. Maybe a few lucky people out there get it to spread the word how cool it is, but it's not. It seems to be just another way to get stuff advertised for cheap.

Thanks I appreciate your contacting them! Actually, I think you have more of a chance getting somewhere than when I complain about it (as a "third" party) – since YOU were the one who completed the offer. We'll see.

Yeah, I completed the offer (and got the goods delivered today) and it still shows as if I didn't complete an offer. Will email tomorrow the company which had been the offering side as well as the freeipod people who put this up. More out of principle than thinking it will change something.

Well if you'd like to know the catch it's this: I have had PLENTY of people sign up, however, only 3 are marked as having completed the offer. Some of these people I know for a FACT have actually completed the offer, yet they haven't updated the accounts. I contacted their customer service, and I got an automated response back. Stinks of SCAM to me…

Heh, in the end I found an offer I could go with (ink, who doesn't need ink for their printer), but I had to change browser as Safari had some kind of hiccup and I hope that your name as referer didn't get lost in the process. If it did get lost, let me know and I see what I can do to get you that referer point.

With the best intent do go through the process (I like Blockbuster, so it sounded not too bad or so was my thought) and going to begin the process myself to get oh such a cool photo ipod – but I'm sorry, just too much junk – of course that the site was not able to handle neither Safari nor OmniWeb and only ol' IE was able to go through the 'optional, but no way around it' survey (the other browsers just errored out on this step) ticked me off, but then the offers are really not usuable (for me) and I know I can't get 10 people to go through that for me – so I didn't finish the process (not even sure if it kept you as referrer when I had to copy/past URLs from Safari into IE to continue the process.

You really deserve getting the iPod, I've learned a lot from your site. So all I can say right now is "good luck" and hopefully a few others will find 'good enough' stuff to sign up themselfs for.
