They also offer various hotel and amusement parks, but they are not gift cards. (And I do not believe they are that great of a price.)
They also offer various travelling helps, but I think they are of limited use.

Hi Guys,

Here is some more info that I took from Montried on FW. I do not agree with all of his statments, but it is information, and you can use it to make a more informed decision. About the spam - I have not received ANY spam from deal pass or freeipod. But, I would expect them to spam. I would provide an email that has an automatic spam filter. (Gmail or the like.)

Tricks
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- many dialups/DSL has Dealpass has 'value added programs'. Call them up and ask for it. I just got off the phone with AOL and they sent me to Shopping Essentials
- Vacation rental on Travelocity was followed by the Passport to Fun offer + $20 travel rebate

- Find affiliate links that will work. Most commonly they are found as value-added sales from large online e-tailers (eg: VistaPrint, Linens-N-Things, Snapfish, and VictoriaSecret). Other places commonly offered after calling your credit card company, AOL, DISH/Cable, or cell phone company (value added program offers). The final option is to use google and search for the program that you desire. Occasionally you will find official sponsored links on a sidebar or at the top, or look at the results for what appear to be link farms and sign up there.

- Find 'free item' sites and signup YOURSELF for these sites with the purpose of gaining the link, not gaining the referral credit. Signup to these sites using a bogus email to prevent SPAMMING. Look for the programs offering "FREE $25 Gift Card", usually to Lowe's or WalMart. These are links that will bring you to a dealpass program
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is how you can sign up for the programs: (I used the freeipod.com link)
Here are the 2 links. The first is a referral back to me. The 2nd is going straight through freeipod without any referral. I do not care which program you use. I will gladly take down the referral link if it is a problem.

1. http://ipods.freepay.com/?r=28936293
2. www.freeipods.com
3. https://www.membershipme.com/savings.asp?ID=yfdptawal003 - Just Passport to Fun

There may be ones offered on membershipme.com I was told by a Dealpass rep that Membershipme continually rotates their Deal Pass offers.

Here is the different offers:

Today's Escape: With either choice, after you log in or register, scroll down on the offers until you see "Get a Free $25 KMart Git Card. Try a Free 7 day Today's Escape membership and get a free $25 gift card...."

Passport to Fun: Same as TE. Scroll down until you find this text: "Try the Connections Entertainment Servicefor $1.00 for 7 days and receive a $25 Wal-Mart Gift Card. Save at movie theatres, restaurants, theme parks and top retailers with Passport to Fun"

Shopping Essentials: After you sign up for either offer, you will be offered the choice to also sign up for Shopping Essentials.

A couple of other things that may be of interest to you -
1. It may be possible to get a year for $19.95 +$1. Here is how it works:
Call the respective numbers for your program (will be listed in your confirmation e-mail, which may take 3-6 hours to arrive). Ignore the first "sales pitch" (it's all automated, don't worry). Press "1" for your account, then Press "2" to access your account by phone number. Enter your phone number, then press "#". Follow the prompt to cancel your account, listen carefully and you will be offered the opportunity to change from monthly billings to one-year of the program for just $19.95. You MUST wait until you receive your confirmation e-mail to complete this step!

With all 3 of my programs I did this and was able to get them for $19.95. Both of these programs I was able to get for $19.95 a year - and it automatically cancels at the end of the year. The extra $1 is the "trial fee." (The extra $1 was only charged for Passport to Fun.)

A couple of other notes as a caution -
1. I save the receipts of everything that I buy. I also keep close tabs on my credit card to make sure everything shows up properly. I have not had a problem, but I am being careful.

If there is anything that I can do to help, please let me know. I would love to help in any way that I can.
