Here's what I just read on a link I clicked while reading through this thread:

From a senior Gratis representative: Due to suspicion of frauding the ebay offer, Gratis Internet has had to pull the eBay offer down. It is unclear right now whether or not this offer will come back any time soon. Please try one of the other offers listed on the site... and remember only try the one(s) you are seriously interested in trying. Gratis Internet will go away if enough people are not really interested in the advertisers and just cancel right away...

Is this train still moving?

n/m. I found an active thread on another board.

 

[Stuggernaut]

Damnit!

I had 6 people doing the Ebay one...and they ALL got revoked..hehe

I'm just going to have to wait it out or get in another line I guess...I don't think this one is going to move at all now with the free ebay thing gone.

 

[G4life98]

i was toying with the idea of just offering people a couple of bucks to be a ref once they are all complete and accepted by the site...it just seems easier that way.

 

[Malleymal]

I got 4 people and they all got accepted so far....


and 7 otehrs did it... so maybe I have to have them try the other ones....

 

[Mason]

So the ebay is gone for good? That really sucks. I guess all the referrals that aren't confirmed by now are ebay ones that didn't go through. Everyone that did the ebay offer needs to go back and do another one now if they want this thing to keep moving. It's really up to you guys.

 

[B'z-chan]

I'm thinking about getting some people to help me out with it since Ipods would be nice still and so would a 27 inch tv, but that ebay crap got me all pissed off. I hope theres some way to get around it.

You can make multiple accounts and it'll still work?

 

[btrboyev]

mason: did you get 5 completed referrals for the ipod?

I did the ebay offer and it been hasn't revoked..so I guess I gotta find others someplace that will help out.

 

[Particle Physicist]

are you guys still doing this?

i'd like to join both freeipod and freeflatscreen.

man.. if i wasnt banned for a month i wouldve got on this sooner.

 

[Mason]

Well I just checked my accounts to see if anything changed, and nothing has.

The people that did the ebay offer and never got it confirmed need to go back and do a different offer!

To answer btrboyev's question, I have 2 completed ipod referrals and others are unconfirmed. I have 2 completed flatscreen referrals, and 2 others that are unconfirmed (leaving me needing 4 more in addition). I hope everyone hasn't forgotten about this or given up. Just go back and complete another offer guys, c'mon!

 

[Desperado]

No credit card so take me off the list. =/

 

[Particle Physicist]

suggestion: you should drop the people that dont respond after a given amount of time.. to the bottom of the list.. should help move things along a bit quicker.

 

[B'z-chan]

I'm gonna do the Rap... offer for you Mason (could you pm me the link again) Sorry i havent been able to devote anytime due to school mainly.

 

[Justin Bailey]

Just to let you guys know, I just got my 20 GB 4G iPod from freeipods today! w00t!

 

[Archaix]

Ugh, I sent an email about not being credited and they said I have to wait 4-6 weeks. Fucking bullshit. It says 1-3 days and I've got to wait over a fucking month?

 

[M3wThr33]

Anyone got the average time on AOL for BB? David Dayton signed up for it 16 days ago and no credit has been given yet. He'd be my #5.

I signed up for the AOL 9 offer(not broadband) 20 days ago and haven't received credit yet.

 

[carbonbased]

If anyone is interested in a more organized free Ipod referral list, http://www.ipoded.tk/ has one that's pretty easy to use.

 

[Malleymal]

I have 7 people completed on my refferal list for the TV, I need one more person and I think its going to be my mother.... Miracle burn, credits u right away, and so does the video proffesor, i think I am going to have my mom do the INFONE and I should be done, I will let you guys know when i get my TV, which is the most expensive tv on the choice of four you can choose from?? also you have to make sure that you do a seperate offer for each person... only one offer per referral

 

[Malleymal]

I am going to start the ipod one now.... I would latch on to whoever needs a referral... let me know...

 

[btrboyev]

i sure could use a referral ..but youd be the first

this guy is running an information site for the ipods and the flat screens. If you send him $10 paypal and your referral link he will put your link on his front page for 24 hours. I did it and got almost 30 people in that one day. iPod for $10? yes please.

(no, my link is not up there anymore so I'm not pimping it for that reason.)

how long did it take for you to get you link up on the site?

 

[Celicar]

This works! I got my ipod about 2 weeks ago. Deciding on whether or not I want the tv. Don't really need one, but for practically free, should I pass this up??

 

[Nester]

My iPod finally showed up today after being accidentally sorted to the Duluth UPS center instead of the St. Paul/Minneapolis center.

The site is down now, but apparently gratis is going to start offering free Desktop PCs. The site was up for a little bit but I guess Gratis didn't intend on people finding it yet. 8 referrals needed, just like the Flat Screens deal. The site will be http://www.freedesktoppc.com Gratis has also already registered http://www.freepsp.com already too, but nothing is up on that site yet except a placeholder.

How do you sign up for and get your link posted on this again? I didn't see a link to sign up.

 

[carbonbased]

Just click the donate button.

 

[sprsk]

do i have to install aol9.0 to finish the thingie.

 

[Archaix]

do i have to install aol9.0 to finish the thingie.

I believe so. I hardly used my AOL account before cancelling it, and I never got credit for signing up. I think you may have to actually make use of the service before they credit you. I signed up more than three weeks ago, and have yet to receive credit(I did get an email saying they would contact me back about my complaint within 2 business days, but I'm not holding my breath...the credit was supposed to be given in 1-3 business days)

 

[sprsk]

so i should do something other than the aol one then. how do i cancel the aol deal.

 

[Archaix]

Call AOL and deal with some jamacian woman who won't accept "I want to cancel my subscription" until you interrupt every sentence she begins by saying "I really, really want to cancel my subscription".

Or at least that's how I did it.

 

[sprsk]

damnt, ill call them tomorrow

 

[Malleymal]

F the aol deals... do all teh others, like in fone and miracle burn, they credit right away
... thats how I got my 8

 

[shoplifter]

Obviously there's no order to this anymore since Mason hasn't edited the thread in 3 weeks.

If someone wants to toss me a referral, go ahead.

I would think that it is just because they aren't crediting anybody's offer, not because he abandoned it.

check your PMs .

 

[MIMIC]

I need 4 more referrals.

 

[Mason]

Referrals still have not been credited. People who did the ebay offer have not gone back and done another one since it didn't go through. DO NOT GIVE REFERRALS TO PEOPLE CUTTING IN LINE. If you think this has gone to hell, fine, show your distaste by taking your link somewhere else, NOT BY CUTTING IN LINE.

My point is that you haven't updated the list in 3 weeks so we have no idea where the hell we are in line anyway. I'm not saying it's your fault, it may very well be someone else not doing their part. I don't know.

 

[Mason]

I haven't updated because there's nothing to update.

 

[Particle Physicist]

well.. you have yet to add me to either list.. and what about my suggestion?

"suggestion: you should drop the people that dont respond after a given amount of time.. to the bottom of the list.. should help move things along a bit quicker."

cause those people probably forgot about this.

I suggested that a while back....people didn't seem to like the idea. But that's where this is headed pretty fast.

:/ well.. ill keep bumping this till they notice.

 

[Stuggernaut]

I agree with what he suggested....I think a lot of people gave up on it. I know a few people I had working mine outside of here dropped it when the Ebay thing vanished.

I keep hoping this will spark up again...still waiting patiently (and fully completed I might add ;P)

 

[Friend]

Consider me out. I just donated and put myself on the waiting list at freeipodguide.com. I have to wait till december though, but its likely to be faster than waiting here. Thanks for organizing everything Mason but nobody seems to be cooperating.
