If this is a serious concern, we recommend you create a new email account strictly for the purpose of signing up and maintaining your FreebieFreebie.com account. Free email accounts are available from Hotmail and Yahoo! Or go to the contact page and i'll send you a gmail invite or two...

While everyone wants to find an offer that is totally free, there aren't always totally free offers to choose. FreebieFreebie.com does a good job of keeping a very limited amount of totally free offers on their site. We've also found that a lot of the free offers are only active until about noon each day, and are then removed. Also, when people catch on to a certain free offer, the word spreads on the internet, and FreebieFreebie.com will eventually remove it.

But keep in mind that FreebieFreebie.com can remove credit AT ANY TIME for ANY OFFER you've completed. This is the risk you take by playing around with the free offers, and cancelling it before the 30-day trial is up. FreebieFreebie.com strongly suggests that you continue with the offer you selected, beyond the minimum time period.

Secondly, make sure you DO NOT have pop-up blocking enabled on your browser. When you click the offer you are interested in, two things should happen. ONE: a page will open for the offer you clicked on. TWO: a pop-up window from FreebieFreebie.com will appear telling you what you need to do to complete the offer, and when it will be credited to your FreebieFreebie.com account. If one of these things DOES NOT happen, you must check your internet settings. Signing up for an offer without the two above things happening may result in your offer not being linked properly through FreebieFreebie.com . As a result, it may never be credited to your account!!!

If you get ANY sort of error page when clicking on an offer, your internet settings are not correct and will not allow the offer to be linked back to FreebieFreebie.com . Whatever you do - DO NOT manually type in the website address of the site that has the offer. YOU MUST click the link from FreebieFreebie.com for the offer to register properly to your account. If you have any doubt whatsoever about your internet settings, use some one else's computer.

As soon as you have 12 or 14green status indicators, you have completed your referral requirements for FreebieFreebie.com and your account will be put in for "review". As soon as your account is approved for completing the referral and offer requirements, you will be sent a brand spankin' new iPod!!

Some good places to post your link include internet message forums, your personal blog site (if you have one), chat rooms, and in email messages to your friends.

Here is an example of a referral link:

www.freebiefreebie.com/index.php?r=26056

If your friends don't trust you that FreebieFreebie.com is not a scam, just send them here to our website, FreeiPodIreland.tk, and we'll set them straight!

Besides, the folks at FreebieFreebie.com "review" each account once you have received 5 referrals to make sure each referral completed the offer process legitimately. They want to make sure they haven't been scammed before sending you a $299 iPod. If they have any doubt as to how you received your 5 referrals, your account will be placed on "hold." From what we have heard it is very difficult to get your account out of "hold," and FreebieFreebie.com has not been known to be very prompt responding to customer support inquiries.

If you really want a free Ipod, play by FreebieFreebie.com rules, and play fair. It may take a long time to get your 5 referrals (if took us 3 months), but it will be well worth it when you get your free iPod in your hands. Don't try to "cheat" the system, because you will most likely only end up having your FreebieFreebie.com account suspended.

Even after your account is approved, it could take another 2 weeks to receive your iPod. This is because FreebieFreebie.com does not keep a large supply of iPods on hand (why would they risk spending thousands of dollars to have iPods sitting around their office? remember - they HOPE you don't get 5 referrals - 'cause that's how they make money). Once your account is approved they will send the order out to their supplier, but if the supplier does not have iPods in stock you will have to wait until they are available. We had to wait another 7 days for our iPod to become available from the supplier.

Once an iPod is available for your account, it will be shipped. We received our iPod via DHL, so we had it 3 days after our "status" page told us that our iPod had shipped.

Overall, it took about 30 days for us to receive our iPod from the time we had completed the requirements. Be patient - it'll eventually show up!
