I want one bigtime, I tried the damn Pepsi promotion like a million times and came up blank... <_< But this deal is now available for Canadians, it was exclusively in the U.S. only up until now.

Just a heads up, You need to do two things 1) Sign up for one of their offers (I did the Columbia House offer because you don't need to pay a cent, they'll send you DVD's but you can send them back to Columbia house and still have the offer completed as far as freeipods.com goes, which is all that counts. and 2) Refer 5 people.

This sounds like a scam, and I thought it was when it first came out until I saw on Tech TV that it's a legit deal.

Check out this site if you want an iPod but can't afford one.

p.s. Mods feel free to delete if you must, but it really is a harmless deal.

It IS a scam, just because they paid TechTV to give them credibility doesn't change the fact that it IS a scam. Haven't you learned anything about the trustworthiness of media all your life? :P

Nah you'd have to pay me to use a Mac product, I'm a certified Mac hater :lol: I'd much rather spend $200 for a Dell DJ if I wanted a big MP3 player, right now I have a flash-based 512MB one that works great :D

Besides I wouldn't want to end up on some gazillion mailing list for Columbia House or something :P

I used to but I never use it so I don't have one at my new place now. I usually just stuff all the flyers I get into those prepaid postage envelopes for credit card companies and mail it back to them :D

Yeah but, iPods are great. they're small and they hold more than your pitiful little 512 flash mp3 player! I hate Mac's but Apple did well on the iPod.

btw, thank you for signing up for those that did, you know who you are. Just need a few more peeps to sign up ;) :ph34r:

No problem it was kinda funny cuz I had read this post then, I went and checked my bank account balances and they had an ad up.

I already bank with them so why not help brothers from other mothers out. LOL!!

I've got about 10 people joined. But only 2 completed offerers... Do the columbia house one! you don't have to pay a cent unless you keep the movies they send you... and even that's iffy. I did it just to get credit for a completed offer and just returned the dvd's back to sender so Columbia House wouldn't be on my ass.

How much does an ipod cost? It must be quite a bit if you can afford to go to Oahu, but not an ipod... :ph34r:

First off, it's none of your business what I can and cannot afford... secondly my trip to Oahu was worth more in personal worth than a piece of music playing hardware and was totally worth every single cent.

I want an iPod, this deal is legit so why not try and take advantage of it?? I swear to christ this site is something else...

Credit information, wtf? It's columbia house canada. You give your name and address to get credit for completing an offer with freeipods.com. Nowhere do you need to give your credit info.

Get a life buddy..

People will still be required to pay for the service somehow and that involves giving out information of either a bank account or a credit card. If you really want something done don't jump on peoples cases as soon as they use the wrong smilie thing.

Could you loan me 5 dollars


MOD edit: Easy MMM.

Pay for what service?? I don't get it. I recieved the columbia house movies shortly after I signed up and sent them back. Thus getting credit from freeipods.com. I didn't have to give any bank account or credit info.

Quit making shinguard up. The dude above and I are square on the whole "smilie" issue until you decided to open your yap about some credit/bank BS.

So your saying that Columbia Hourse won't ask for credit card information in exchange for the first DVDs you get?

Yes, that's exactly what i'm saying... As long as you aren't blind and are able to click the "Bill Me" option when you sign up.

Just a heads up, they've added the 20 gig w/ color screen to the list. 3 more completed offers and it shall be mine! muwahaha

Also what's up to those who wasted time signing up but didn't complete an offer? Columbia House is where it's at if you don't want to pay a cent or give out credit info.

Just make sure you send those dvd's back unless you really want to go through with the columbia house offer.

Way to resurect this... How am I bothering people by letting something that was lost posted in AUGUST fade away?

I did end up buying a 60gb iPod in December. So mods delete/lock this.
