    Okay, I'm really puzzled about this. It sounds good in theory, but what problems could arise in the future by signing up for one of these things. Mass junk emails? Mass junk mail? Never ending flood of who knows what of calls and letters, etc from companies wanting something. I've seen an interview with the guy that I believe runs this site. I know people who have signed up and gotten their free ipods, or whatever freebies are being offered.

    So is it a good idea to sign up or am I just looking for annoyances down the road?

    I know of a few people who completed everything and never got their Ipods. I don't know anyone personally who got a free Ipod. However, I just recently bought one (mini) and I love it! :)

    from what I understand you have to actually get the credit card, refinance a loan, get a hotel stay and all kinds of other crap before they send it out to you........plus they say they have to verify you have done all that before they send it out to you........by that time you have lost all interest cause you have a gazzillion credit cards and two houses that you never really wanted.....you think you're going to be upset you never got your IPOD????

    I got mine, I filled out some free offers and had 5 people use my reference to apply for theirs. It took almost a month and a half but suprisingly it came in the mail. I never had to buy a house or anything else I just signed up for little things that didn't require a credit card #. I did this about 6 months ago though so it may have changed since, but yeah the website is legit just takes a while.

    Forza,

    I know quite a few people who have got free ipods. Too much hassle imo

    Don't be cheesy and include your Ref ID in your link! This isn't a place to con fellow F-Chatters into helping you get your toy.
