quoted from their site... "There's still time to qualify for a Free iPod Shuffle! The deadline for this promotion has been extended to August 7th, 2005."

so you DON'T have to get 10 friends to join right?

Hasek.

P.S. can we do all 50 reviews in say the "Website Reviews" section? and it says "Your reviews must be of local businesses - reviews of national chains will not be counted toward your total"... so is Amazon.com a national chain or not?

You must do it on a local business. Amazon is national.

ok, what about a local movie theater, will that count as a review towards the ipod?

You have to invite 10 friends, they dont have to actually join.

I got all 50 but I'm afraid some of them are national chains... I hope this doesn't hurt me... I think I'll do a few more to make sure...

Crynos, how long did it take from the time you submitted the form until you got that email? I want to submit early so that I can write more reviews if some of them turn out to be ineligible, but I also want to wait for some referrals to write more reviews.

theclownoftightness

01-08-2005 23:47:32

Does anyone know if they are legit yet? I mean i started doin the reviews but has anyone gotten anything from them?

idrinklisterine

02-08-2005 00:02:57

Yeah, I got a $100 Amazon.com gift card from them.

Peinecone

02-08-2005 11:12:02

I confused on the reviews. Cause it says only local business', but then it gives you suggested review topics with books and movies and stuff along with business'. So do they count to?

[i8854b4fe7e]No more than 10 of your reviews can be for restaurants, coffee shops, bars or clubs (a list of suggested review topics is provided to help you get started)[/i8854b4fe7e]

And it says you only have to INVITE people, they don't have to join. So i went through my spam folder and invited them D

Your Judy's Book iPod Shuffle Promotion Claim Form has been received

Thank you for submitting your promotion claim form for our iPod Shuffle and iTunes promotion.

So you know what to expect, we'll be verifying the accounts of all participating members at the end of the promotion period (8/7/2005) and will fulfill all valid promotional claims within 4-6 weeks after that date.

We hope you'll continue to play an active role in the Judy's Book community, inviting friends, writing reviews and asking and answering questions.
[/quote6218881e23]

I will tell you how long it takes to get the e-mail.

I think you only get 5 or 10 reviews counted per ref. So you need 4 referrals to get the min. 20 itunes.

03-08-2005 13:03:06

I'm looking to join this little thing, pm me

also the wording on the site is confusing, i don't care about itunes just the shuffle, so if I write 50 reviews do I automatically get it, or do I have to get the 10 friends too?

thanks

J4320

03-08-2005 13:04:28

Only 50 reviews for the shuffle. If you refer 10 friends too they'll give you an iTunes thing.

Yeah, the reviews you do for this promotion wont count for the next promotion, so if your half way, might as well finish or get some starbuck cards

Either way, you need to invite 10 friends to get the shuffle. They don't have to join, though.

I'm pretty sure those 20 for the starbucks don't count toward the shuffle. A review only counts toward one reward.
