Did anyone submit for Approval on Mon 3/7? Or that week???

Just wondering who out there started the approval process on 3/7.

I submitted on saturday. got one of my referrals on hold on monday. got him taken off hold, and sent in again on tuesday.

S

I submitted for approval on Sun and got approved on Tues. Probably be in processing for the next week or so.

I sent in on tuesday also

Damn, I am still waiting for approval

same, today will be ur 5th business day though

Makes me nervous that some got approved so quick

I applied for approval on Monday as well, and haven't heard anything. Makes me nervous too, because this is my 4th attempt at approval! Same 2 referrals keep getting put on hold, then taken off. Humbug. It's always taken them some time to get back to me, which worries me. They have, however, made note of this (so they say) in my account, and one of my referrals' said they told him that they made a note in both his AND my account about the issues we've run into. Fingers crossed...

ya, nothing for me yet, this is the longest approval so far for me

UPDATE!!!!!

I checked my status...and nothing changed, I am still pending approval

rofl. This is makin me mad. Its been 5 days! PLEASE APPROVE ME! I've waited long enought. (

5 busines days though......

Hopefully tomorrow will bring the anticipated APPROVALS!

haha so true

its monday its monday plz get me apporveed!

Ok, one buiness week down, anyone out there who submitted for approval gotten it yet? Gratis must be busy...

Well I sent in a support ticket. [quote8cada9f742]I submitted my request for approval 7 days ago, and am wondering if freeipods is experiencing delays in processing approvals. Or if even though my accound says its pending approval, did you not receive my request.
[/quote8cada9f742]

That was at 943am est, still no response

I received a response

Sorry for the delay. Because we review each account individually, it can sometimes take longer than the stated time. Also, we are currently experiencing an influx of accounts requesting approval. Please wait 2 or 3 more days at the most. Thank you for your patience.

On Hold!!!!

I had 6 Greens and they put 1 on hold and even though I still have 5 Greens My account is on hold.

wow! that sux, lemme check mine!

still nothing on mine! Probably have to wait till tommorow!

Yah. This sucks! I've been doing this site since august. Cant wait any longer.

My luck, ill get it, and it will be like, destroyed by DHL.

ive been working since september and ive been waiting for approval since wednesday cry - and also when it said an influx amount of approvals - does that mean like a large amount?

probably, this sux and I thought freeipods would be a breeze after freepsps and freegamingsystems, jeeze i got approved for freepsps in hours!

DA da da DAAAAAA

I just checked this morning and saw something I've never seen before

"We have approved your account and referrals. You may now order your totally FREE iPod."

I sent in a CS inquiry about having it shipped to work, I'll let you all know what the outcome is!

Congratulations!!

LEt us know what they say!

Just got this a few minutes ago...

"If an item has already shipped to your work address the order will be automatically held. We advise shipping to an address that has not previously received an item from us."

So, that says to me that if anyone here had already gotten an iPod, they'd place it on hold. Well, I know I'm the only one here that's done this, so I'm going to have it shipped to me at work. What's the worst that can happen? I've already been though the works with them, what's another dozen CS inquiries? lol

LoL Good Luck!

yeah good luck! tommorrow will be my fifth buisiness day so ive got my fingers crossed ) - i wonder when the next shipping date is?

yesterday was my 5th business day and still nothing!

Still nothing here! I just want my iPod...(

I know! wtf is up!

I submitted for approval on 3/9, nothing yet. This is my second time around since Gratis put one of my referrals on hold (was taken off hold last week).

well todays my fifth buisiness day i hope im approved

I sent in a cust. service ticket yesterday, and this is what they said

"Thank you for submitting your account-- we are reviewing accounts as quickly as possible."

didnt really help.

^ ha no help at all - do you think i should send one in since ill be going past 5 days?

I dont know.

I'm already past 5 days. (

I'm past too! ?

Nick is upset! Nick wants his iPod. Its been 8 months now, and its getting a little upsetting.

lol this is getting annoying ( i just want to get approved - at the end of march it will be my 6th month

does someone have any ideas what i could put in a cs letter so that i dont come off sounding like an ass?

why is this taking so long?, that sounds good

I did mine on Tuesday, 03/08 and today is the 6th buisness day.

Does anyone know if they e-mail you when you get approved or just update the web-site?

just site is updated

[quote74ee814678="kaymin"]just site is updated[/quote74ee814678]

OK. Cool, thanks for the info.

np man! I am on the same boat!

lol i sent them one saying that but in a nicer way

NO! While you have completed all the requirements to get a FREE iPod, we have reviewed your account and referral offer completions and have placed your account on hold. We have determined that your referrals appear to not be unique users. Because we make money from advertisers who only pay us for unique users, we cannot credit you for these referrals.

You have not received credit for 1 or more of your referrals because they do not appear to be unique user(s).


I know i did everything correct and the person i reffered is a close friend who did everything correctly! cry i sent in a cs thing - i really hope i get approved because i didnt work this hard for nothing

OK, this is starting to get a little questionable...

Everyone that submitted last week is either on hold or most likely will soon be on hold, by the looks of it.

HAS ANYONE RECEIVED APPROVAL? From last week that is

yeah your right. . . weird i didnt notice that. . . and not to mention it took them like way longer with us then its supposed to take - i wonder whats up?

its pissing me off.

Well, we'll see soon enough I guess. I submitted for approval last week -- on Friday 3/11. Still waiting.

No way they can claim my referrals aren't unique -- they're spread out all over the country, each in a different state, and none are relatives. No chance of duplicated names, addresses, or IP's. If they put ME on hold, I'll definitely feel like something fishy is going on. I doubt it though, why would Gratis risk their good reputation by being shady? Their reputation is what has kept them in business all this time. I'm sure honest mistakes are made or over-zealous auditors get hold-happy at the slightest thing, but to hold EVERY submission in one week is extremely unlikely IMO.

I just think its becuase they have opened soo many new sites in the past few months and probably haven't expanded their staffing

Either way, its taking was longer than what I bargained for, and I have friends and family telling me I should have never wasted my time on this.

Ive sent in two customer service tickets about this. I sent in one the other day, and I got a shitty responce. I sent in one today, and am still waiting for them to respond, and it was at like 3, two hours before the business day ends.

I feel that if I had spent all this time I spent on freeipods on something productive, then I would have been so much better. In fact, if I had just worked for those hours I would probably have had more money than an iPod costs.

Also, I haven't been approval processed yet. I submitted last week Tuesday.I guess I'm just holding my breath for a hold in the end.

[quote5ccfab2366="kaymin"]I just think its becuase they have opened soo many new sites in the past few months and probably haven't expanded their staffing[/quote5ccfab2366]

I don't agree! If that was the case then why are some of the other sites getting 2 dday approvals?

I sent in a ticket asking why I was on hold on the 14th and I sent another one in the 17th. I have yet to get a human response to either one of them!

Even if they do take my account off hold, then I have to re-submit for approval??

I got approved on the 15th and submitted on the 7th. HOWEVER, this was my 4th attempt at approval, and have submitted now 21 CS inquiries to them. What I've noticed is that if you get a reply from them that even wafts of a canned or automated response, immediately re-submit the same question. They actually get you something real, I know this because there were both grammar and spelling mistakes in their replies. I'm still processing a the moment, and expecting that the next STV should be any moment now.

RealtorKen, yes, you do need to re-submit for approval once you're off hold. It might help you to request manual approval...submit a CS inquiry as soon as you hit the approval button. You'll get a canned response, but they state that they're supposed to read all your inquiries when reviewing your account, so it should be noted by them. Personally, I requested manual approval and it didn't speed anything up, nor did it help because I still got put on hold that time. I also requested it this time, and politely quoted several of their responses and got a pretty nice message back from them. I asked if they could scrutinize my account, and two of my referrals that kept getting on hold, very closely, blah blah blah...maybe they were shocked that someone would ask to be checked CLOSER, and finally relented!

This is a game, and it's all about perseverance. I've heard of others who got approved on their 4th try. It sucks, and the time I've invested into this could have bought me a new Photo iPod, but I just made up my mind that it wasn't going to NOT happen. If you're legit, and determined, you'll get approved. Eventually.

I sent in for approval on the 10th, and still nothing yet... at least I'm not on hold yet, as it seems everyone who sent for approval then got put on hold.

Dear Gratis, One of my referrals shows on hold. I have NOT comitted fraud. What is the exact problem with the account. I have contacted the referral and he has said he has completed everything correctly. He is interested in the offer and I did not "walk him through the process." I do not have multiple accounts. Please release the hold and issue as I believe the requirements have been met. I take fraud very seriously as well and I take my reputation seriously. Thank you for your time and attention in this matter. Tim Cole

I sent this in after i was put on hold - i wonder what will become of it

Submitted yesterday... we'll see what happens ;)

God damnit to hell and back!!!!!

My referral that they put on hold by accident before, was put the fuck on hold again! Im so damn pissed off right now. They took him off hold before, because they had made a mistake. I want my god damned iPod. My mom is pissed at me, and saying she told me so! God damn. I sent them a cust service ticket about this. I think is is piss poor work by Gratis. Instead of me submitting a secound time after he was taken off hold, I should have been approved right way.

Hovigga, not to sound clicheéd, but I feel your pain! They did that to me 3 times before I got approved. Like I said, I've submitted 21 CS Inquiries. Mine kept getting off hold and back on and so on... iPod Shuffle, the bad kind! My 2 work with me at my office, so I could just mention it to them and POOF, they were off. It does suck, and you're absolutely right to be pissed off! Once you cool off, start in with the CS inquiries and stay on them. But Be polite! That's what got me out I think...

Good Luck!

yeah this sucks - i got to thinking about it and a while back the refferal that got put on hold me and him are friends and so he was completing free mini macs - i didnt have a credit card and so he lent me his to do it with - mabey they think its the same account because he used the credit card i used with mini macs for free ipod - but they wouldnt put me on hold for that would they? if they did do you think i could get it worked out?

what do you suggest i put in a cs ticket lance?

Woah woah woah, slow it down there Blinky, my head's a spinnin'! P

Ok, so you used his card to complete an order on FMM's, right? And he subsequently used the same card for FIP? Ok, I think I got that. Umm...I'd see what they say in response to your CS Inquiry, and remember to be polite. I don't know if there's any sort of crossover, but it's not out of the realm of possibility - Gratis pretty much has a "We get to do whatever we want" clause built into the ToS that you agree to. Did your friend get credit for you on FMM's? Was it the same offer on both sites? I dunno, honestly, but I'd get another referral if you can.

I had my best friend do one for me a LONG time ago, and on the second try, they slapped a hold on him and he hasn't gotten out of it (I'm not sure how hard he tried, but whatever). I lucked out when another friend of mine saw my link on my email signature...God Bless Ganesh!!...and signed up. Point being, my buddy lives in DC and I live on the tropical island of Door County, Wisconsin. He said they though he had referred too many bad referrals, but he didn't refer ANYONE! shock I'll be interested to see how this one turns out...

I got APPROVED!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH.

I take that back about wasting time. I'm on processing now )

I cant believe I dont have my iPod by now. I put a shit load of work into this. Been doing freeipods since august, I have asked tons of friends (who really, arent great friends), asked like all my family, and made a website, but I still have no iPod.

Doesn't look like I will be getting mine! I wrote this to them

[quote55d79040aa]Hi, I just recieved your response and I don't understand how me telling my mother how to sign up is a violation, I was simply referring a legitimate sign up. This is a word of mouth referral site and I was doing the same as anyone would do by telling her it was legit and all you have to do is sign up and complete an offer... I do not believe that this is against the rules. How does one get refferals without talking to the person and explaining the procedures, and thus violating the terms of service? May I please just ask why even though I had 6 people complete your offers I can not receive my iPod?

RealtorKen, that looks like it's a canned or automated message. As somebody else here said, and I've experienced it myself, following up with another CS ticket will usually result in a personal response. I know when one of my referrals had a problem and I contacted CS, they replied with an automated response that didn't answer the question. I immediately sent another reply explaining that the canned response wasn't helpful. The next day I got a personal response from a human that addressed my specific problem.

It might be worth a shot...

I think some of their processes on putting people on hold has a good chance of being wrong - for example the IP address thingie.

I had 6 greens and 1 green was put on hold. I know the guy and this is the only one he's done. He's on hold for some reason now. Maybe his IP address was used before by someone else since the ISP uses DHCP.

Well, he doesn't care since I paid him to do this for me and he's never going to log into his account ever again. But, still .... it's kinda scary coz' what if it's your account?

My fucking referral was put on hold again, after he was already taken off ounce.

Can you please let me know. I am am completely confused why this is on hold. I thought when you say "walk through" referrals, I was in violation for explaining to my mother what to do. After talking to people on a internet forum that I found after this issue arrose, is it true that what is meant by that is like a colelge campus signup? If thats the case then I really do not think I violated any rules and maybe should have submitted under the " I don't believe I did anything wrong" link.

dammit, the account my bro did from my dads got put on hold!

Approved after five months since my signup. I submitted for approval on 3/9.

(, me feel like shit. everybody else get approved, nick have to wait. (

The user in question lists your name and shipping address-- it is a duplicate account.

wtf???? how would he even know my shipping adress?

grrrr forget about the refferal - does anyone have a suggestion as what to say in a cs ticket just to get the account off hold - i still need to talk to the friend but i think he put my name or something insted of his own omg im so p.o'ed and now all my friends and parents are giving me "i told you it was a scam" crap - so how should i go about explaining this to gratis

have your friend send a ticket saying he wrote the wrong name or address and you say the same thing on ur account

ok ill do that

Gratis,
I contacted the refferal that was put on hold and he said he thought he was supposed to put my name. He said he is also sending in a cs ticket explaining his mistake. I take fraud seriously and i wouldnt have let this happen if i could have. I would also like to know if I had been talking to him while he filled it out wouldn't that have been breaking the rules by "walking him through?" Gratis please dont punish me for my friends mistake.

does that sound ok? Does anyone have a suggestion what else i could put?

I personally don't understand the "walk through" I think it is a back door to get out of sending too many iPods. The answers they have given me would lead one to believe you can not even tell anything about the process to a potential referral.

yeah - i took that part out - i dont get it either ?

Hey all,

Wow, Ken, Sounds like they're really trying to squirm out on you. I'd keep after them, persistent and polite. I've noticed (because I tried getting belligerent with them) that they seem (to me, anyway) to respond better if you're pretty respectful. Putting in statements like "I take fraud seriously, too," and "I understand your concerns" are good phrases that might help. Then again, it might depend on the CS person, too.

The "walked them through it" line is BS in my opinion, because, really, they can't prove anything to that end. There's no quantifiable way for them to know that someone was "walked through. I could be visiting a friend it Tulsa, OK (disclaimer I don't know anyone in Tulsa, OK) and ask them for a CC, sign up under their name, complete an offer using their info, on their computer and gratis would never know the difference. Unless they have psychics...which would really piss me off. wink Damn psychics (said in Homer Simpson-esque voice)

At any rate, I'd keep on 'em. Don't let the bastards get you down!

Oh, and I'm still "Processing" as of 10 minutes ago...

My referral was taken off hold. )

I sent in a cust. service ticket, asking if I could be manually approved by one of their staff, so that the automated system, doesnt do the exact same thing again.

I got approved today!!! D I submitted for approval on 3/10/05. Good luck to those who are still waiting.

congrats

they wont take my last refferal off hold cuz it was my brother at my dads house! Doesn't violate any rules!

my refferal was taken off of hold but i need one more person to sign up lisighsli o well at least i still have a chance at a free ipod

I was just approved today. Submitted on 3/11. So they're a bit slower than usual but they came through for me.

Well, here we are, it's been 2 weeks to the day since the last STV...ANYONE out there gone STV since then? I haven't seen anyone saying they have, so I'm assuming it's a big no. At any rate, even if you discount the day I ordered, it's been 5 business days, and no change in status. Any day now, I hope... roll

Well this is my current ticket list. If you notice I even tried the may have a violation. Still nothing...just filed a complaint with BBB and am ready to file my complaint in small claims court. I am going to give them 10 more days. Yes I know the tems of service are going to be tight to try and beat but for the cost of filing $36 it would be worth it in my mind to make them hire an attorney in my state to defend them. It would cost them a lot more then the cost of the damn iPod. I currently have 2 unrelated cases I am involved with. Plaintiff on both, 1 in Federal District and 1 in State Supreme Court.

being a dildo is the easiest way to stay on hold on gratis sites. just nicely and calmly explain the situation over and over. most of the time they'll take you off hold eventually unless you really fucked up like greened for yourself 2-3 times

Ken, slow down, man. I got really frustrated there for a while, too, and I've been at this since september. Threats, BBB complaints (I threatened one once, they pretty much did nothing) and litigation won't get you an iPod any faster. Oh, and what state DO you live in, so I don't go there and piss you off, get my ass in court! ;-)

Seriously, here's my CSI list...note the dates.

Can you explain why there may be similar information contained between you and your referrals?

Think I am getting somewhere?

Refresh our memories, why ARE there similarities?

Out of my six green referrals 1 is my mother and we share same name and 1 is my girlfriend. The other 4 are just email contacts. I honestly have not violated any of your terms of service. If I ever do complete another gratis site I will make sure that I will not put my close friends or family on my referrals. I now understand how strict the terms of service are. I apologize that I caused so much trouble with my account. I had read the terms before I signed up and my interpretation of the rules was that, by having my mom sign up when she came over for dinner, wasn't a violation. From what I understand now, it still isn't a violation just not recommended. I appreciate your thorough help in this matter.

LoL, I just thought I would update everyone... I still not have been approved. Tell me this is not the longest damn process.

OMG!! FINALLY!!!

lol congrats....sucks about the wait

I got a question for those of you that have been put through the ringer by gratis.... Do they automatically ask a bunch of questions up front when you're waiting for approval?

I've been waiting to get approved since 4/18 and I'm wondering if they're gonna start asking a bunch of questions.

10 days isn't that long yet. A lot of us had to wait anywhere from 14-19 days just recently. Worst case you probably only have around another week or so to wait. Of course then you have to wait at least a week while its "processing" and then another week after its STV. And then another week till all of the planets are in alignment...So you should be good to go in like August. wink

btw they don't ever ask you questions out of the blue afaik. Either you'll get put on Hold or one of your referrals will get put on Hold. Then you or your referral will have to make a customer service inquiry. Again its afaik but don't expect them to just start asking you questions. Your notification that they have a question for you is that they put your account on Hold.

That sucks. I guess I'll just sit around and wait like everybody else. roll
