* Most sites require you to be a U.S. resident - some are open to Canadians and the U.K.
* You may need to be 18 or older
* You probably need a credit card. Some offers allow you to use checking account, instead.
1. Click the given referral link (Here is the latest donator's FreeiPods.com link if you do not have one) and sign up. Remember to use valid information! Use one of the links on the left side of the page if signing up for one of the other sites.
2. Complete the marketing survey - note that your answers do not have any impact on your ability to receive an iPod.
3. Once signed up, you should receive a verification email. If you did not receive an email, go to the My Account page and click the link to send the verification email - you may also change your email address on that page, and then send the activation link to that address. (Note: There have been problems reported using Hotmail addresses)
4. Sign up with one of their partners and complete an offer. Skip down to see instructions on the different options for completing offers. (It can take up to a few days for the offer completion to appear on your account)
5. Refer some friends and have them complete 1 offer each. The number of referrals required varies between sites. FreeiPods requires 5.
6. Wait for your free iPod or other free gift to ship!
When signing up and completing offers, make sure you aren't blocking cookies. Cookies are the way free gift sites track offer completions.
Offers:
Note: Offers generally require a Credit Card to complete.
* There are too many offers to list. Generally speaking, you will find: diet supplements, shopping offers (eg. for printer ink), credit card applications and services such as Blockbuster Online.
* Choose the one you are most interested in! Remember: choosing an advertiser based on how easy it is to cancel them is bad for Gratis/Freepay, since they profit when they provide their advertisers with valid leads.
If you do not wish to share your credit card, there are options available. Many banks will sell you "charged" cards that have a certain amount of funds on them. Additionally, PayPal Premium Business customers may use a "Virtual Credit Card" to register for one of the above. You can purchase a charged-value credit card at Coinstar stations (usually at grocery stores) for a $9.95 service fee. Finally, MySimon and ePassporte both sell online charged-value credit cards. ePassporte cards have a $20 minimum intial deposit and their service fee is $5.
The following activities are against Gratis/Freepay's terms of service and WILL result in a hold:
* Mass-posting your link - this means posting it anywhere where it is unwelcome, including chatrooms and forums.
* Encouraging others to cancel offers after signing up - via a website or in any other medium.
* Walking referred people through the signup process.
* Having more than one account with the same information (email, home address, etc).
* Buying, selling, trading, or giving away accounts, regardless of said account's status.
Please complete your requirements in a legitimate manner in order to ensure that this program continues.
