So this free iPod Shuffle thing is getting annoying. I actually got three people to sign up, but only 1 person actually “went green” as the lingo goes. Only one persone completed their offer and verified that it was actually complete. I kept emailing the other two people, but one is completely unresponsive and the other apparently only checks his mail every three weeks. All you have to do, if you complete an offer, is wait 15 days and send the people a copy of the offer confirmation email. Is that so hard? I’ve done it twice now, and every offer I’ve ever done has gone green.

I finally got desperate and openened myself up for a fourth referral trade, which has gone green in less than 72 hours. So now I have four people signed up, and still only two referrals. This has gotten to be more work than just finding the $125 for the damn thing in the first place. Why won’t these people put for the effort, it takes like 15 minutes on a saturday afternoon to make sure all your offers are valid and accounted for. The guy who only reads his email every 3 weeks or so even said he would be checking his offers that evening… it had already been 17 days, he should be green by now and I should have my damn iPod.

Bollocks.

Well… these people are helping you to get something everyone else has had to pay for.

I say cut them some slack.

But I met them through a referral trading community, so I’m helping them get something for free in return. I’ve held up my end of the bargain, they should do the same.

Okay, if you are helping them as well I think you are being reasonable.
