Glam VIP readers are invited to join ideeli

Most of offers are heavily discounted merchandise but the site says they have weekly giveaways. I just signed up so I am not sure what this will be like. my email says by invite only so I tried to set up an account on my private email address - i did not receive an invite on that account - i had no problem creating an account.

Ideeli is giving away some very pricey handbags, Prada, Balenciaga, Escada. unfortunately the giveaway and sale start times are secret so you have to check in a lot...like the Elle Sephora giveaway.

"If you're reading this, we're currently accepting new members, so you're in luck. But sometimes we close membership. We do this for two reasons.

First, we want to be sure we have enough quantity of the items we sell and give away to make a fun experience for our members. We naturally buy with the goal of selling out, but we want our members to have a fair shot of getting some of the things they love. As for giveaways, we keep the odds of winning the same, so unless we get more quantity of prizes from our sponsors, we won't add more members.

Second, the foundation of our business is getting the kind of women that our sponsors want to connect with, so we generally want to add members who come from other members or selected member lists from other organizations
"
 
Is this over already?

I can only find a login page and can't find a registration page...
 
I was able to join. thanks!
I found what they mean by giveaways:
What Is A Giveaway?

Just that. We give a lot of things away. For instance, no matter what, at least once a week, we will give away a special item - generally a great handbag. And the merchandise for our giveaways is some of the best items we get. Some of these giveaways have items in very limited quantity - sometimes only one or two units. Other giveaways will have tens or hundreds of units. All members can enter a Giveaway from ideeli.com at the time a Giveaway is live. All members will be notified of a Giveaway start time via email. Members that have text messaging will also be notified by text message to their mobile phone and can enter a Giveaway via their mobile phone.
 
I just signed up--and after doing so, I was told I could get a $25 credit for each friend I referred (up to 10). Did anyone else see that? You need e-mail addresses to send the invitations. Sadly, I don't have 10 friends I could invite!
 
Well, apparently I was already a member. I don't remember signing up.
 
I saw the refer a friend thing. You get the $25 in credit after the person makes their first purchase. I dont know anyone thats gonna buy this stuff. My friends are cheap LOL
 
I had to use the code on the homepage: cn82 to register.

Try just the home page, Tigger. http://www.ideeli.com That worked for me.

Thanks -- those 2 worked for me. The link posted in the 1st msg didn't, though.

Welcome CN8 viewers

Ok, I did a bit more research and found this:

http://www.ideeli.com/pages/faqs

1st ROW MEMBERSHIP: For all of our 2nd Row members, ideeli is free and there's no fee to join. If you would like to shop earlier than everyone else and access a greater selection of products, you should consider upgrading to 1st Row Membership. With a 1st Row Membership, you can:

- Shop an hour earlier than our 2nd Row members for ALL of our sales events

- Access 1st Row Only sales not available to 2nd Row members

- Receive sale and giveaway event start times on your mobile phone via text message

- Enter our Giveaways via your mobile phone

Please Note: During the summer, we're temporarily suspending the option to receive these alerts via text message while we migrate to a more reliable message delivery service, so 1st Row members who were receiving text message alerts will receive only email alerts until the new system is in place.

I feel a bit better now. :)

ENTRIES LEFT: 18284 OF 25000
Discuss this item (220)

Entries for drawing started at 2:30 pm est -- entered at 4:20 & there was still (see above) quite a few entries available. Good to know these don't disappear in like the first 30 min or anything. :) I was sure I'd missed my chance to enter when I saw the email. :teeth:

Edit ---

After you enter, if you click the "see drawing" button, it'll take you to a page w/your entry number:

Your Number: 5##6
You have been entered to win. Good Luck!
Check back to see the drawing at the time above to see if you won.

Kinda cool that you can see immediately if you won, at 5:30! :)
 
I also entered and hope that one of us wins! :marshmallow: Good luck! :luck:
 
do you think its the 1st row (paid membership) that wins and not the 2nd row (free membership)?
 
their blog has members discussing that

do you think its the 1st row (paid membership) that wins and not the 2nd row (free membership)?

think I read somewhere, when I was looking all over the site, that the first row members only get preferential treatment for the stuff that is on sale. the giveaway stuff is subject to contest rules which are pretty stringent. NY state contest laws are very strict, thanks to our former ethically challenged Governor, Elliot Spitzer.

"NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE DOES NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. .The laws of the State of New York, excluding its conflicts-of-law rules, shall govern these Terms and Conditions."
