I’ve also went ahead and reviewed the referral requirements for the different iPods and put my recommendation below each review.

1. YourFreeVideoiPods.com by Transcendant Innovations

Rated as a Grade A freebie network by Anything4Free forums, this is the network that sent me iPod straight from Amazon.com within one day of my eligibility. This site has hundreds of free, easy offers to complete, and a customer service team that really cares about you. The company was started in 2005 with its iPod website and has recently expanded to include several more free gift sites. I personally recommend this network above all because of my great experience with them.
Use this site for: iPod Touch 8gb (5 referrals)

2. iPods.Free4Me.net by Free4Me Networks, LLC.

The second Grade A freebie network that is also a favorite among freebie enthusiasts. Since its launch in 2005, it manages 16 different free gift websites and over 50,000 registered users. The best part about this site is that they offer more gift options than just your typical iPod; see all their iPod-related free gifts and offer list here.
Use this site for: Altec InMotion iPod Audio System (4 referrals)

3. iPods.123StuffForFree.com by 123StuffForFree

123StuffForFree has shipped over $260,000 in free prizes since its 2005 launch. Also rated Grade A by Anything4Free forums, it maintains a list of over 200 forum testimonials from happy customers (an amazing feat for any company!). They also have an unique anti-scamming policy which states that any user banned from the 3 major freebie forums may have their account placed on hold. This is a policy that prevents scammers from getting away.
Use this site for: iPod shuffle 2gb (3 referrals)

4. Apple.CustomOrderThis.com by CustomOrderThis

CustomOrderThis gets big points from me for being one of the only websites to offer phone support in addition to the typical instant messanging/e-mail. They are also popular for their active monthly promotions and diverse freebie gift site list. Although rated Grade B on A4F, they are bound to be upgraded soon with their growing popularity and commitment to their customers.
Use this site for: iPhone 8gb (8 referrals)

5. NewVideoiPod4Free.com by FCANet, Inc.

NewVideoiPod4Free has the lowest referral requirements of any of the freebie sites on this list. Although this means it takes more offers to fulfill the requirements, most of their offers are listed as free or less than $5. This means you can still get an iPod Touch for less than $20! Their Grade B status and extremely active customer service representatives make this another great website to get your free iPod online.
Use this site for: iPod Classic 160gb (4 referrals)

(Notable mention) #6. OrderCash4Free.com by Order4Free, Inc.

This list was supposed to be only 5 sites!! Oh well, you can call this unethical blogging, but I had to mention another favorite site of mine, OrderCash4Free! Although it doesn’t directly have iPods available, I felt compelled to share with you another great opportunity to make money online. OrderCash4Free allows you to continue completing their site over and over, essentially giving you free cash for as long as you can provide referrals!

Green Reporter is a free, easy-to-use program that automates the checking of referrals at your favorite incentive networks. Eight of the top incentive networks are supported, including Transcendent Innovations, GetFriends, Freepay (Gratis), and OfferCentric. In a simple interface, each incentive website is listed on a single line alongside the number of greens, yellows, and red referrals your account has.

For more information or to download, visit Green Reporter’s website.

Gratis is also taking heat for having its Truste seal-of-approval revoked. Truste is a nonprofit organization enabling consumers to have trust in websites based on their privacy policies by monitoring and certifying web and e-mail privacy policies.

With this new privacy issue and Freepay’s 90-day account notice, Gratis-Freepay just keeps going down the drain with experienced freebiers. Beginners to the freebie/incentive industry should choose their sites wisely – why support a company with so little regard for protecting and serving its consumers fairly? Do your research before participating in any incentive network!

Existing Users:

· With a start date of March 1, 2006 – existing users and their associated referrals will have 90 days to complete all offer requirements specific to the FreePay websites of their original account signups.

· Upon completion of all offer requirements, existing users will have the ability to download and print an “Approval Form” that must be filled out in its entirety and mailed with a postmarked date no later than 30 days of completing their offer requirements.

New Users:

В· Beginning with the date of new account signups on FreePay websites, new users and their associated referrals will have 90 days to complete all offer requirements specific to the FreePay websites of their new accounts signups.

· Upon completion of all offer requirements, new users will have the ability to download and print an “Approval Form” that must be filled out in its entirety and mailed with a postmarked date no later than 30 days of completing their offer requirements.

Freepay users are outraged with the change, with myself included! Anything4Free, an amazing freebie forum, has demoted the Freepay network down to grade “C” after being privileged with high marks for over two years. To have only 90 days to acquire 20 legitimate referrals for Freepay’s free laptop is absolutely insane! I am having trouble finding 5 referrals for the famous FreeIpods.com.

This change has marked the end of the Freepay network for many elite freebie-seekers. Why the change? No one knows, but many speculate it is just simply – because they can. Just as a Anything4Free user said, it looks like they just got greedy.

Signing up is FREE and you get a $5 cash and 100 visitors just for doing so. They also have a affiliate program 5-levels deep (or 10-levels for gold membership), getting you more cash and more credits!

It took me about 2 minutes a day for 2 months (not every day) to reach the $30 cashout. It was definitely worth it, and I’m working on my next $30! This site is easy, legit, and pays via Paypal. With the money made from simple PTC and PTS sites like this one, I build up my “test spend” reserve – using this free money to do test spends on new online programs.
