Quick note on the 2nd vs 3rd generation issue. In the 8GB version, the only difference between 2nd and 3rd generation iPod touches is the software. Check out the timeline at the bottom of the Wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod_Touch).

bah! Mine apparently shipped today, or that’s what the teller told me. So what generation will it be? Will it be the newer one, or does key and apple have an under the table deal, and key gets to give away all the unsold touches? I will be very sad if I have to sell my little ipod touch to get a camera.

I can’t wait to receive our iPod! We did this so my husband could have one (I have one) but the other day my touch screen got shattered….so I feel quite “lost” without my iPod..haha. We fulfilled the requirements about 4 weeks ago, so hopefully soon. Also…someone said theirs was a 2nd generation, and someone else said 3rd…I’m grateful for either, but a 3rd would be pretty cool!

Did you get any notification that you qualified or did your ipod just show up?

I opened my account in July around the last couple of days of the promotion and completed the requirements ( one debit card purchase and two direct deposits) by end of Aug. I just got my iPod Touch and it is a 3rd gen 8 GB one. Enjoying it

I satisfied all of the requirements to receive my iPod but when I called to confirm this they said that we didn’t get a “Marketing Number” when we opened our account and therefore were not eligible. I rechecked the rules at https://www.key.com/gen/html/mkt-q210-touch-faq.html and saw no mention of this requirement. The branch manager I spoke to is looking into this and I am awaiting a call back. However, I have a sneaking suspicion that this hidden detail will disqualify us. Has anyone else had this problem and, if so, did it get resolved? This sounds to me like an unfair business practice. If having a Marketing Number is a requirement then it should be clearly stated on the rules page. Since it is not, I believe we are owed one iPod Touch…

The 8gb IPod Touch is 1st generation according to Key customer service. Also if you signed up for this promotion make sure you get the rewards debit card or you will never qualify. If I had not checked into my qualification status I would of never qualified in time for the promotion deadline in October.

Can anyone tell me whether you’ve received the 2nd or *3rd* generation 8gb iPod Touch? Thanks.

Does the debit card transaction also have to be $100?

Forgot to mention. The IPod came within about 2 weeks of my qualifying. I didn’t have to do anything else, it just arrived at my house in a FedEx envelope, a really nice surprise, and of course, I was also sceptical that it would happen this fast! Thank you Key Bank for keeping your promise!

I signed up for this approximately 6 weeks ago and just received my IPod yesterday. This is a nice deal! My branch is the one in the International District of Seattle. The woman who helped me open my new account was very helpful, writing down exactly what I needed to do to qualify. I have had no problems with Key Bank and I am very happy with this deal. The IPod looks great, has 8 Gb and is WORTH the effort! Good luck to those in the right areas.

This is lame. I live in central Ohio, and there are Key Banks in the area. What’s with only allowing those in parts of Ohio get the reward?

Opened a basic checking account few days ago and the process was a breeze. Got a phone call from a local KeyBank branch the next morning to confirm the application and the rep was fully aware of the iPod promotion. She mentioned the required debit card transaction in order to qualify for the promotion can be a pin-based transaction or a credit card-like transaction. Will see how long it takes to get the welcome packet as well as the iPod…

Unfortunately, it’s not available for residents of Pennsylvania either. :O(

shame its not available in my area would have liked to get my hands on one. Seems like the coverage area is very limited.

has anyone gotten it yet? I met my requirements and I’m dying to get it. Hopefully it won’t really be 90 days to wait.

Just so everyone knows, it turns out that this offer is only valid in certain marketing areas. I have a keybank .5 mile away in Roy, Utah but I am not eligible for this offer.

“Direct deposit transactions are limited to: payroll, Social Security, pension, and government benefits. Automated payments exclude Key Bill Pay, debit card automated payments, PayPal® transactions, and account-to-account balance transfers.”

you can find this info if you click on the link and scroll to the bottom

Is it true that we can simply transfer money from PayPal every month to fulfill the direct deposit requirement? Also does debit card transaction mean one has to use his/her pin at the cashier but not the credit card type of transaction?

How did you get the older promotion Jonathan?

I thought you lived in CA. Or was the coverage back then different?

I tried a NYC zip code, and the following error came up….

Is anyone else getting a message that says the offer code doesn’t match with the account type (although the account is one of the ones that is eligible and the offer code is entered automatically)?
