This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

This site is similar to PhoneHog in that it allows a customer to earn points through completing offers and when subscribers get 1000 they are about to cash them in for a free iPod. Yet I have noticed that although I usually receive low rewards (5 point ones and such) I am never credited for the high ones. I completed 3 very night point offers True.com (140 points), Netflix (132 points), and Bob Green's Best Life (85 points) I have yet to be credited for any of them weeks later. I have contacted member support about this on multiple occasions but have gotten no reply.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
A. Hyden

BEWARE..Looks like it turned into another scam site.
Something is going on with this site. It no longer is getting it's rewards out to people that they have earned. Im still waiting for a 16gb Ipod touch over 13 weeks now. They said it would only take 4-6 weeks to be shipped. They no longer answer their emails and you can not reach them by phone. They say they will respond to your email in 24 hrs and nothing for months now. They also have not done their daily drawing for the free ipod either. Everything has stopped as far as for the people that are making them money by clicking on their advertisers links. Someone needs to investigate them as they are still getting advertisers and not fullfilling their end.

Check out this site on whats happening
slickdeals, go to the lounge and type in ipodsweepstakes, scroll down to The OFFICIAL iPod Sweepstakes Thread!
read the last 20 pages.

This use to be a great site now it looks as it is another scam.
I would not recomend this site at this time. Cut your losses and run.

Hello. I have been a member at ipodsweepstakes.com for quite a while.

Yes, it's true that sometimes, you do not get your credit. You should know, however, that this is not the fault of the ipodsweepstakes site or their management! This is a problem from the people who you signed up with for credit. I had a problem with NetFlix too, and when I sent a support ticket to ipodsweepstakes about getting my credits, they said they were sorry for the delay, and credited me immediately.

People should realize how this system works. The advertisers that sign up with ipodsweepstakes agree to inform ipodsweepstakes of membership validation. In many cases, the reason you won't get immediate validation is because you used different personal information on the signup site, than you did with ipodsweepstakes. If you email is different, they can't verify that it's you, and Netflix, for example, can't confirm it. This is what happened to me. When I signed up with netflix, I used a different email than I used with iPodsweepstakes. When I asked ipodsweepstakes about it, they responded quickly, and credited my account.

I hope that helps!
