$50 Walmart Gift Card Contest

Free Walmart $50 Giftcard!

Ok, I’ve got bad news and then crazy awesome news.

The bad news is that I’m not going to be giving away all $400 in prizes over the next few days. Wait, put down the rotten vegetables!

The crazy awesome news is that I’m going to instead be giving away even more in prizes over the next few weeks! I was contacted by a few amazing companies last night that wanted to help sponsor some prizes, so I’m going to be stretching things out in terms of making the contests open to a lot of people. I’ll be holding a contest per week from now until at least March! Throw in the March Madness Contest and it’s hard for me to even fathom how much I’m going to be giving away over the next few weeks!

Of course, I said I’d give away something today and darn if I don’t keep my word! So for today, all you have to do is make a post on your blog about HIF while linking back to us with the anchor text “freebies” and then leave a comment here with a link to your post. Just write something cool about HIF and make sure you include the proper link back. Here’s an quick example:

Hey, It’s Free! is one of the leading sites on the internet for freebies. They filter out all the spammy freebie offers and the guy who runs it, Goob, is pretty legendary to boot! He’s even giving away a $50 giftcard to Walmart this week! So check out HIF and start getting some freebies in your mail!

Or something similar. See how the word “freebies” is linking back to HIF? That’s known as anchor text in nerdy, Internet lingo. You learn something new every day!

It doesn’t matter if your blog is on your own site, Blogger, Myspace, or wherever else you may write on the net. Just make sure you write a little something about HIF and link back to us with the anchor text “freebies.” If you don’t have a blog, then don’t fret! Posting this on a message board you frequent counts as well, as is any other place you can think of. Be creative and chances are I’ll accept your submission. Make sure you don’t forget to leave a comment here with a link to where you made the post so that I can verify it. Then, at the end of the week I’ll pick a winner!

As for what some of the future contests will be, well I will say that one of the upcoming ones rhymes with “scavenger hunt.” Wait a minute, I think I did that wrong… Oh well, if you’re not already a member of the forums, you might want to join up! :D

The next few weeks are going to be freaking awesome, if I do say so myself!

Boring Fine Print:

  • Contestants must be 18 years or older and live in the US.
  • Whenever multiple correct answers have been submitted, I’ll use random.org to pick the winner.
  • Contestants must use a valid e-mail address when leaving comments. Otherwise, how am I going to contact you if you win?
  • Contest ends this Saturday at midnight. The winner will be notified and announced on February 1st.

coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope i win this gift card.

Hey Goob, I love your site; however, was disappointed to see my name wasn't included in the contest for $50 Wal-Mart gift card. In fact, I had written twice. Maybe I'll have better luck next time. This is the best freebie site around. Love you anyway!

Here is the link to my post. Does this work? I'm new to this blogging and just try to figure it out.

No kidding!, you really are the best freebie website out there. This will be your 3rd appearance at Cheap Tricks. Check It Out. http://cheaptricks.wordpress.com/?s=goob Keep up the good work.

I posted about this on my blog! Thanks for the giveaway.

I also posted you on Famzam and sent you an invite! Fanzam.com

(Goob: The link didn't come through correctly! Add me as a friend on Myspace and I'll check out the post myself.)

I hope LJ counts. I posted a blurb about HIF on mine. ^_^

Deni, who said Facebook doesn't count? Is this true, Goob? (Goob: Mikel, for this contest, Facebook isn't counted. This is due to the fact that we'll be having a Facebook themed contest soon!)

I don't have a blog but I love your blog. I wish that I could be entered in your contest.

I also posted on my website blog http//:cutepea.webs.com

Hi Goob, I gave your site a nice recommendation on the NetSweat Fitness Blog. You'll see a direct link to the post at: http://www.netsweat.com/

Thanks so much for your generous giveaway!

ALL MY FRIENDS WILL SEE MY BULELTIN BOARD AND SHOULD LOG ON. HERE'S THE LINK (Goob: People, please destroy your caps lock! Not only does it make it look like you're screaming at us, but it more than likely will cause your comment to be marked as spam. In addition, your link didn't work Sasha. Add me as a friend on Myspace and I'll check out your profile. )

i posted the blog or myspace.com/jenessee and search my blog

on yes also I failed to mention I love hif and Freebies----yea

Hey if Cassidy wins I will take her Walmart since she hates them. I love them and would love to spend her $50 card.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, Goob! Can I just call you Goob like that even though I don't really know you? :) I made a link to your WONDERFUL (said in a non-sarcastic and yet non-kiss-butt way) site so my fellow budgeting mamas could get some free swag, too! You can see it here: It's A Mama Thing!. I would love a $50 gift card to Wal-Mart, even though the Wal-Marts in my city scare me....if I win, I will just wear a black hoodie and shop at 2 am when nobody is there. ;)

Goob- It's posted on my blog and who I'd like to meet. ;) MySpace URL www.myspace.com/sahm_4 To bad Facebook doesn't count, I have more friends there, and already member of the Hey Its Free group. Game on.... My family and I love Hey Its Free. Thank you for all the fun!

Hey Cassidy, you can send you hated WalMart giftcards to me! I would be glad to take them off your hands! lol Could always use money towards groceries or for my daughters birthday on Feb. 7th. Wanted to get her this dollhouse but don't have enough money for it since it's $70 and my husband was laid off. Damn economy. No Christmas for us. Luckily we had family that gave stuff to our daughters since we couldn't. Anways... send em to me!! lol

Hey Goob! Great idea for a contest and a great way to get those freebie links out there! Well done. Here's my link, http://generopolis.com/wpblog/2009/01/29/hey-its-free/ which is on my own freebie blog, Generocity...hope you don't look at this like competition! The post I did was a bit fairly long -- but I also cover other stuff too, including how to get free video game disks. All the best -- and please draw my name first!!

Hey it's free Hey it's for me. Hey mny thanks from me to thee.

http://www.facebook.com/notes.php?id=735839649 I've been trying to post my entry here for a while and I seem to be having some trouble. Here's what I wrote on Facebook (you can see it if you log in). "Remember Goob? He's the guy who scours the Web for the best, non-spammy, 100% legit freebies (See my last note). He's now running weekly contests on his site. This week's prize is a $50 gift card to Wal-Mart. Check it out." Goob, I can send you a screenshot on e-mail if you can't see this.

Why would i want a Walmart gift card when I already have 4 unused ones that i recieved as gifts? I hate Walmart and all their corrupt, unethical business practices.
