Just wondering how long you waited for your free ipod? Like when you signed up, when you got approved, processing, STV, shipped, and recieved date?
Me
Signed up in August this year however gave up hope for three months, until one day I checked back and noticed I only had one more person to go
I was approved three days ago and am currently processing. It'd be nice if we could just get one thread instead of multiple threads of people asking how long it would take.

I started this back in Mid October, got 5 referrals than I got put on hold, explained the situation got off hold, then got 1 more referral because one of them wasn't approved so all in all the timeline is something like this.
Signed Up Mid October
Placed on Hold Late December
Got another referral Approved and Processed all within 3 or 4 days
STV Waiting on product Took about 2 full days
It Shipped and I should receive it this Thursday January 20th. So after i submitted for approval then to get my ipod the whole system pans out to be around 2-3 weeks.

no, you just have to be REALLY good at being able to sell this to everybody you know.
online, offline, if they say no that doesn't mean you can't get 'em to sign up.
make it sound like the offers are best thing since sliced bread AND you could get free stuff. you have to sound 100% fully convinced.

Selling the sizzle and not the steak!
I literally asked everybody I knew; if they said no, I asked again!
Some people can market like madmen; I respect their skills.

I'm hoping for a quick approval. Reading this forum has me a little worried.
Signed up on Monday 1/10 had 5 green by Friday 1/14 and asked for approval.
Wish me luck.

So, I signed up on Tues. the 18th, and completed my referrals on Wed. the 19th at around 8PM EST. I am currently awaiting approval. I think I got my referrals rather quickly, but the other part of the process is out of my control. Let's hope i'm as fast as your bro!

I signed up in the end of July and went STV in mid august for quite sometime before the status actually changed to "shipped" on august 6th..........
I received mine.. sep 28, or so. around there...
But right now it won't take that long since I heard a lot of people are working on orders now.

I've been able to get 7 referralls in 2 weeks. Put your link on the amazon.com marketplace items, under iPod.

Yeah, but your advise almost certainly is a violation of the ToS that Amazon has set up.
Besides, 132 yellows for only 6 greens? I maybe have as many yellows as greens, and most of those are people I told to 'sign up anyway, and see if there's an offer that interests you'.

I know that it most likely won't happen, but I'm hoping for the super fast turnaround that was discussed earlier in this thread. Am I to understand that Gratis does approvals on Saturdays as well? I was upset b/c I felt like the wait would have been more tolerable if I started the waiting game on a Monday instead of a wed. evening. The funny thing is, I'm not even in a big hurry for the iPod itself, I'm just tired of people laughing at me for having faith in Gratis.
Can't wait to gloat.

I don't think Gratis would do approvals on a Saturday. Saturday isn't a business day. Do they work Saturdays? Intriguing.

I was just going by this post. No one else said anything about the Saturday approval, so I thought that it might be true, but I guess not.

I started in July. I was one of the first people to sign up on freeipods.com. Then, i kinda slacked off and didnt look at my account for...4 months. then my original 10GB first generation ipod died, so i started doing this again. now, i am STV...waiting on my ipod. how long does STV last anyways?
