Its a classic py sch. Those who get in early will most likely get whatever the sch. is about. Those who get in later in the game unfortunetly wont see anything more than added spam in their inbox.

Mock them relentlessly for their stupidity until they are reduced to tears, alternatively, set them on fire.

Or, you could just complain on ATOT.

I can't get in on this anyway, since I've already completed offers through Ancestry.com, AOL, etc. for my XBox. (Which I already have) Not that I want an iPod anymore. The iRiver is looking so much better after I compared the two.

Perhaps you misunderstood my statement. I did not say the iRiver looks better astheticly(sp?). I said it was looking better, as in overall. The iRiver has more format support and more features, not to mention it doesn't require a special application to transfer files since it reads like a normal external HDD.

Don't mean to turn this into an iPod vs. iRiver thread. I just considered the pros and cons and arrived at my decision accordingly.

well, i use and like how itunes manages the ipod, so I go with it. And everything I have is mp3... so not a big deal for me. My biggest complaint about the H120 is the little jog stick. that thing is annoying IMO.

As for looks, fine, don't like it... i like my sleek aluminum ipod mini (and 3rd/4th gens) :p

It is legit...they lose money when someone completes enough to order one but make plenty money off the people completing offers that never complete their 5 referals.

Ive gotten my 5 and my order has been placed for my 20GB iPod. My order is In Progress 3 right now and should be shipping out soon.

Well, I decided to give it a shot. I have a dog and needed some dog crap anyway, so went ahead and did the pets one and got my own "instant" credit. Anyone wants to sign up under me, what the heck, send me a PM.

I'm thinking about trying this, I have a few questions though. So I sign up and do one offer, that's simple. My dad owns 3 properties, could I use each of them as a different refferal? They are all under his name. Would this work? Thanks, if this gets locked could someone please PM me

did anyone receive theirs yet?

and why is everyone so against this? it's not like it costs anything?

total time: less than 10 minutes.
-create a new hotmail junk email account (2 minutes)
-go to flyertalk and register, use first link in conga line, add name to conga line (2 minutes)
-go through free ipods registration process (2 minutes)
-click on ebay link and register with ebay (2 minutes) - you don't even need a credit card if you provide them with an email from an ISP (AOL, school, etc)
-verify link sent to ISP email (1 minute)
-place bid on an item (1 minute) (i've noticed that the big sellers are automated, so they rarely leave negative feedback if you happen to win)
-sit and wait...

WORST CASE: you wasted 10 minutes and get a lot of junk email at an account you don't use; win a $0.01 auction and get negative feedback on an account you don't use
BEST: $300 ipod for 10 minutes of work = $1800/hr. How many people here earn that much?
