$50 Walmart Gift Card Contest

Posted on 01.28.2009 by Goob in Contests, HIF Contest, Money

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.

    I have to admit I was afraid I wasn’t going to get a bailout so this will definitely help me to better my financial situation…thx Goob…u rock!

    (Goob: Haha, just think of HIF as the nation’s fail-safe in case the government collapses! )

  4. #4 Pamela | January 28th, 2009 at 12:07 pm

    Do you have a facebook that we can add you to or only myspace?

    (Goob: There’s a Facebook badge over on the right sidebar that takes you to the Official HIF Fan Group. Joining said group will help enter you in an upcoming contest :) )

    Talk about a challenge, but I think I did it. I started a blog just so that I can enter, I am a bit blog impaired so it’s a pretty basic blog.

    I just posted my thoughts on my blog!! This was so fun!

    Goob

    Why are the three posts in which I submitted by blog address not listed above anymore? I was the first one to post this morning and it’s gone, too!

    (Goob: The links didn’t come through correctly, they simply directed to Myspace.com – Add me as a friend on Myspace so that I can see the blog post and I’ll consider this your official entry.)

  25. #25 kimmello | January 28th, 2009 at 01:56 pm

    I sure hope I did this right, cause I’m still learning html layout on myspace :^

    I think you need to find a way for non bloggers to be eligible for the give a ways. Seems you are punishing us faithful users.

    Come on guys, let’s get together on this.

    (Goob: I clearly stated in a comment above that non-bloggers will have more than ample opportunities to win future contests :) )

  34. #34 Nikki | January 28th, 2009 at 02:31 pm

    Here’s my blog post! (I anchored “freebie” on my blog)

    Since a big part of my job consists of searching the Internet for deals and shopping in brick and mortar stores, I’ve become somewhat of a shopaholic. One site that I go to virtually every day is Hey! It’s Free. Everything I’ve seen on that site has been a valid freebie, and there’s some great stuff out there. I sent away for a religion book, got a Betty Crocker calendar and learned that Krispy Kreme was giving away free doughnuts on Election Day – that one was yummy.

    So if you have some time, check out that freebie site, and see if there’s anything you can use. But, remember, I check the site often, so I’ll know if you get me a freebie present ;)

    I just posted my addiction to free stuff on my blog. I confess, I have a problem. I can’t seem to stop “freebieing”. I check my email and hey it’s free daily. My postal delivery person is probably going to go “postal” on me when she notices all my freebies she’s having to deliver!

  37. #37 LAURA | January 28th, 2009 at 03:07 pm

    Just put it on my Facebook account and Perfspot.com as well as Myspace.com/lgingerbread

  40. #40 fanniefarkle | January 28th, 2009 at 03:31 pm

    I tried to post a new thread at Teri’s message board about freebie websites (and left it open to posts about any freebie site so it wouldn’t look like spam), but the mods have not yet approved it.

  42. #42 Camille | January 28th, 2009 at 04:03 pm

    Hey, I posted little something about you guys on my blog. I really enjoy browsing your site and I hope the others I recruit will too.
