robotech_masterSo, I happened to read this article on Wired about a site called FreeiPods.com. Unlike those fraudulent offers you see on eBay, though, this one appears to be legit...just a fancy version of those "try X and we'll send you a free widget!" offers that have been around through the ages. You go through a trial offer (usually a free and easily-cancelled thing), they send you a free iPod, either a 20 gig version or a 4 gig "miniPod," your choice. (I can't see why anyone would pick the mini, but who am I to say?) If you already have an iPod, they'll give you a $250 iTunes Music Store gift certificate instead.
Offers include things like 45 free days of AoL, a 99 cent trial month of the RealRhapsody music service with 5 free burns, a $20 minimum order from an on-line pet supply store (and I needed to get some more Frontline anyway, soooo...), Columbia House DVD and BMG music clubs, a GM credit card
The catch is that, in addition to participating in the free offer, you have to get five of your friends to sign up for a free trial as well in order to qualify for the iPod. Uh-oh. I'm somewhat hesitant to expect that I can talk even one of my friends into trying something like this, let alone five.
But, what the heck...it's probably the only way I'll ever end up getting one. I went ahead and created a disposable email address on my domain to use for the service (it'll also be an interesting experiment to see if I get any spam from it, since I don't intend to post it anywhere in public).
So if any of you-all would care to try it, and thus act as one of my referrees, just click the link to get started.
(Anyone? Please? :)
