It's here!
My free 20 GB iPod arrived via FedEx at 9:15 this morning. I'm as giddy as a schoolgirl. "People really do win on MTV!" So I can now say with conviction that freeipods.com is not a scam. Not only did I get a free iPod, I also got two free $10 Amazon gift certificates from joining one of their offers.
The details: I completed all the requirements on September 7, at which point my status on the site changed to "Order submitted to vendor, waiting for product." On Friday, Oct. 15, my status changed and I received email informing me that my iPod had shipped. It made the trip from Shanghai in great time, arriving via FedEx three days later on Monday, Oct. 18.
A big thanks to everyone who completed an offer on my behalf. I suspect this may spur some further activity on the conga line, so here are some referral links from fellow Static Zombie readers. Help 'em out by clicking on one of their links, signing up, and completing an offer-- then post your own referral link in the comments. Let us know once you reach 5 referrals, so I can remove your link and avoid having people "waste" their sign-up.
To help Chris: done, link removed

But MAKE SURE that you keep on the Ipod people to give you credit for these offers. I only ever had one offer besides my own confirm as completed (and I know for SURE there were more that should have been), so I have a list of signups without completed offers, and as a result I'm still listening to MP3s on my Rio S50.
I'm thrilled for Peter, but I think there are gaping holes in the system. At least I got a credit card out of it that I'll prolly never use. :)
Posted by: Chris Lemon on October 18, 2004 10:44 AMThanks for the update. I was just thinking about this the other day and plopped a post into your original article yesterday, so this was very timely.
Guess I'll have to sign up now.

Is that how it's supposed to work?
Posted by: Travis Eberle on October 18, 2004 06:05 PMTravis - I don't think so. It would appear that Pete is posting the links in the main portion so people can just click on them - when someone gets done I think he will add a new name to the list, but you'd have to ask him.
Pete - thanks for putting my name up there! My Amazon GC was nice, but an iPod would be even nicer.
