The official 'I got approved on Tuesday April 19th' thread

Anyone else in the club? took me bout 8 days i think

WHAT THE HELL?!!?!?! I'm STILL waiting since the 1st. First come, first serve my ass.

im still waiting too...but im only been waiting since the 15th

I'm thinking I might and hoping I will.. Requested approval on the 10th, I'm thinking if not today then sometime within the next couple days.. But I'm REALLY hoping today.. I mean I'm losing homework time checking freeiPods heh...

Requested on the first...still waiting...

1st approval request sometime in March

2nd approval request 4/5 and waiting...

Hearing how others are also waiting for approval. Annoying

Hearing about how other people got approval even though they applied after you evil evil

Congrats to geej86 btw. Glad it worked out for you.

Okay now that I got a chance to settle down, I'm glad to hear you are approved.

Approved!

That does it for me, NintendoDS, Mac Mini and the Ipod all processing! WHOOT!

i'm sorry! its unfair but i can't complain lol

Yessir. I think they must have done a big batch today. I was waiting since the 2nd. I'm very, very happy today.

hehe, How long have you been waiting?

not approved.....they said one of my referrals was not unique. they could have told me that 3 weeks ago! anyways, one of my referrals has the same last name so i'm sure that was what did it. i sent an email explaining that i had a relative with the same last name sign up. i didn't see anything about relatives in the TOS so hopefully this will be taken care of. I hope it doesn't take a month to get re-approved that would be terrible. it is almost like gratis makes money on the amount of time people have to wait to get their free stuff.

damn it... I am still waiting... Submitted for Approval on the 10th...

PsychoAU

submitted on the 14th. i guess i missed the approvals today

Find someone else real quick. Same thing happened with my FGS, but it got approved the next day after re-approval, seems they didn't need to recheck my others.

LMAO!

I have been waiting for more than 2 weeks after re-submitting for approval

Requested approval April 15. I was soooo excited after waiting like 15+ days for an offer to go through that one of my referrals did...and I'll get approved since I know all my referrals are legit. )

How long until STV, do you think?? I've had this account open since November... it's about damn time I get something.

Took me 3 hours to get approved on freeipodshuffles, redeemed at 4pm yesterday )

Well after putting in for my second approval, after more than 2 weeks I finally received APPROVAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I can't believe I finally got approved and was able to order my iPod

If I could give any advice to someone doing this it would be to not use any relatives. It doesn't matter even if they live in another town, having someone with the same last name do an offer is a good way to get put on Hold. You will just have to have them go to their account and explain that they are just a relative of yours and that you don't live with them. It should get cleared up but I will just take a week or so.

I am sorry to say that its likely that when you get your refferal fixed that you will get dropped to the bottom of the queue and you will have to wait again for them to reapprove you. I just went through the same exact thing.

I FINALLY got approved on the 19th as well. I had been waiting for approval since April 1.

My order status is "processing". When should I look for it to be updated?

did anyone go STV today? I was approved last tuesday, figured today would be the day for sure, but alas, nothing...

Hopefully sometime this week...

Anyone pester gratis yet to find out?

Will gratis ask questions when they're waiting to approve? Just curious. I've been waiting for approval since the 18th.

I got approved on 4/19 also. I read somewhere Gratis does STV's on Mondays! Lookin like 5/2 for STV. I want my iPod!

I submitted approval request on the 18th too.. Still waiting.

Add me to the long list of people stuck in "Processing". 10 days and counting. Reading about how someone else here is 3+ weeks on STV isn't giving me a lot to look forward to.

Well, it's 2 May (a Monday) and still no STV for me. Anyone go from processing to STV today? Some encouragement would be welcome...

5/2 Monday- still processing! I think Mr & Mrs Gratis took a 2 week vacation ( ! Are there more than two people working there lol ? Hoping for some STV SOON!

Finally! My order is processing and I'm waiting to go to STV. Anyone know about how long it takes before I get it?

BTW, Congrats to everyone else in the "Approved on 4/19" club!!!! Wooo-hooo!!!!

I have been processing for more than 5 days already, any idea when my iPod will be shipped out?

Well, that sucks, heh. Looks like Ill be stuck at the "approval" phase for a long time, and processing/stv for even longer.. I guess this was a shitty time to get done with freeipods -(

Although it may not be this bad for everyone, but my friend who got his IPod last Fall said he had to wait 3-4 weeks to go from Processing to STV. But I've heard others go STV within a week.
