Okay, I'm just wondering what you guys might think about this situation.

I first learned of freeipods.com while visiting my parents. I signed up at their house, but used the shipping address of where I actually live. Since then I have also signed up for another offer at freegamingsystems at my apartment.

Anyways, I reffered one of my parents at my house and they signed up (I didn't walk them through it). They did it on a different computer (a laptop) that shares the same internet connection (so is probably the same IP address). Anyways they used their address for shipping.

My question is even though we both live in different households, and used different shipping addresses, would using the same internet connection cause any problems that may lead to me not being approved?

I think that different computers means different IP addresses, not totally sure, though.

We live in different area/zipcodes, and used 2 different credit cards. I wouldn't think there would be a prob, but all this time waiting for people to go green just gives me too much time to think.

Don't know how I'm gonna make it through the wait while requesting for approval.

Same internet = same IP. They might think you made two accounts and placed your parents and your account on hold. I'd PM Jake and check with him first.

not such a great idea (not trying to encourage scamming) but they only allow 1 signup per houshold / family...

Nothing about families there.

It's a problem.

No matter how different the info is, the names, the e-mails, address, none of that matters if your parent signed up from the same internet connection that you have signed up from.

Best thing to do is to either PM Jake, or send in a support ticket, explaining your situation.

It sounds like a legitimate mistake but that's for Freepay to decide. They will be able to answer your questions better than we can.

Here is Jake's reply to my problem

As long as both your account and your parents account are truly legitimate, the same IP address will not cause you any problems.

Sincerely,

So I guess I don't got nothin to worry about, since both accounts are truly legitimate. Thanks guys, and Thanks Jake for understanding my problem and soothing my nerves.
