Since freeipods.com worked so well for me, and I did actually receive a pink iPod mini for Michelle, I’ve decided to give it another go on freephotoipods.com. My 30GB iPod is maxed out (I’ve got nearly 40GB of music now and the battery life is starting to drain. A new 40 GB photo would be nice. So, if you want to help me out, use my referrer link, to sign up and complete an online offer. Once you do, you’ll be well on your way to getting an iPod photo of your own! Thanks in advance. :)

do I have to pay for these suscriptions?
if I don’t, then I don’t understand how can this thing be true, I mean, what do these companies get besides a bunch of suscriptors whose only interest was to get a free iPod ?

First off, it most definitely is for real. I already got an iPod mini off this deal, and I know a bunch of other folks who have received iPods, too. The “online offers” vary. Some require some sort of payment, some don’t. Some require credit cards, some don’t. Most are the sort of thing that are either free or very cheap trials, but you have to manually cancel at the end of the deal. The companies are probably banking on the fact that you will either love their product so much you won’t cancel, or you’ll simply forget to.
These sort of promotions have been going on much longer than the Internet. “Try us for free, and we’ll give you this free gift. Cancel anytime.” As long as you cancel, you really can get the gift for free. A lot of people just don’t cancel in time (probably because they forget).

I just tried to do this and I’m getting an error from the screen where you have the answer yes/no to their special offers…

So I shouldn’t even go and try this now???

Okay - it ended up working anyway - so Mr. Croft, you’re 1 referral closer to a free iPod.

Awesome, thanks so much, man!

Well I figured, who doesn’t need ink for their inkjet printer…that was (I think) the easiest choice to complete the offer. Spend $30 (which is like 2 or 3 cartridges depending on your printer) and you’re done. Nothing to remember to cancel, just buy ink. Hopefully I can get 5 people to do it for me now.
I tried to post my referral link, but it kept getting caught for questionable content (which was the URL).
