Get SWAGG and Give to SU2C

Posted on December 24, 2010 by Connie

SWAGG is a free mobile app (download here) that lets you shop smarter using your mobile phone. Buy, send or swap SWAGG GIFTS and organize your old school plastic gift cards.

For every download of the app between now and Dec. 31, 2010, SWAGG will donate $1 to Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) , up to $125,000.

Clever Girls Collective and SWAGG are sending a pair of movie fans to the Sundance Film Festival! Download the SWAGG app and then visit the Ultimate SWAGG Getaway Sweepstakes site to enter to win a trip for two to the Sundance Film Festival. Entry deadline is January 3, 2011, 11:59pm, PST.

Stand Up To Cancer @SU2C is a non-profit who strives to end cancer. They raise money for research and new treatments. Grants are given to teams of scientists who feel no need to compete against each other for money. Instead their full focus is on treatment. Celebrities donate their time each year for a live TV show that is shown on multiple television stations. Throughout the year, they create videos and take part in other events to keep Stand Up To Cancer in the Limelight.

The winner of the Sundance Sweepstakes will receive (for two people):

2 night/3 day stay at Yarrow Hotel in Park City Utah (Jan 21 – Jan 23, 2011)
Ground transportation to and from hotel to airport in Park City, Utah

Posted on November 18, 2009 by Connie

I’ve been listing blog giveaways for a while now, but am considering doing something a little easier like using MckLinky for people to come here and list for themselves. The reason for this is that this is becoming very time consuming for me. I get emails with information but I still have to checkÂ on links to be sure they are correct. Then list them and link them.

For those of you who use this blog to check out giveaways, I’d like to know how you feel about what I’m thinking. For those of you who list your giveaways here, would you list them if you had to fill out something like MckLinky?

Charter Camaro Sweepstakes

Posted on September 25, 2009 by Connie

A while ago I wrote about Charter holding a sweepstakes and giving away a laptop. Now their grand prize is a brand new 2010 Camaro 2SS. I don’t know a lot about cars but my husband said this is one rare car and it’s fast too. He was basically drooling when he I told him about it.

Just register for any Charter service and you’re automatically entered to win the Camaro. This runs from now until November 26th at noon. Charter will even pay the sales tax on the car for the winner. Check outcharter.com/camaro for the complete rules and to register for their High Speed Sweepstakes.

Along with the Camaro Sweepstakes Charter is you’ll get a $100 gift card when you buy 3 Charter services, $50 gift card for 2 services, and $25 gift card when you buy 1 Charter service. You can chose a Visa pre-paid card or a gift card for restaurants, stores that specialize in clothing, home accessories and more.

To keep up to date with their ongoing contests and discounts follow Charter on Facebook and Charter on Twitter.

You’ll never know what’s in store next. Besides the laptops, Charter gave away HDTV every day and Xbox
360s too. If you’re like me and like to enter sweepstakes, this is the type of company you want to know about.
