$50 Target Gift Card Contest

Posted on 02.11.2009 at 1:09 pm by in Contests, HIF Contest, Money

Win a free $50 Target gift card from HeyItsFree.net

So I’ve got a $50 Target gift card just sitting here and not being spent, so how about we remedy that? In order to win, all you have to do is follow Hey, It’s Free on Twitter and tweet the following message below:

Goob is giving away a free $50 Target giftcard! You can win by following @heyitsfree and retweeting. http://bit.ly/14tRIa

The contest will end this Sunday night at 11:59pm and the winner will be randomly selected from the people who are following Hey, It’s Free on Twitter. Fingers crossed Random.org doesn’t somehow try and force me to win my own contest again :D

    Quick item to add: There’s a glitch on Twitter now where people you’ve added have been removed from your list. For example, I was following HIF and now? I can’t follow HIF and it won’t let me readd (supposed to wait 24 hrs, coming fairly close to that soon).

    So maybe instead use a #heyitsfree to tag the posts, Goob? In case anyone gets hit with the same glitch that I’ve experienced…

  2. #2 Goob | February 11th, 2009 at 01:25 pm

    I hadn’t heard about that glitch. Has Twitter commented on it?

    Regardless, if anybody is having issues following @heyitsfree then just comment on this post and we’ll work something out.

    I am very new to Twitter, I put the “Goob is giving away a free $50 Target giftcard! You can win by following @heyitsfree and retweeting. http://bit.ly/14tRIa” in the “what are you doing spot. Is that what we do??

    (Goob: Holly, post a link to your twitter account here and I’ll have a look to make sure everything looks right. The link to your account should look something like http://www.twitter.com/USERNAME )

  4. #4 Adam | February 11th, 2009 at 01:32 pm

    Yup. Two parts to the issue:
    http://twitter.zendesk.com/forums/31935/entries/21399
    and
    http://help.twitter.com/forums/10713/entries/14959

    I first thought it was the latter, but apparently its the former. That’s why I suggested maybe changing the contest to a #heyitsfree tag, because then you could go to search.twitter.com and find everyone who tagged their posts. :)

  31. #31 Lisa | February 11th, 2009 at 04:36 pm

    I am new to the Twitter world … Not exactly sure what it’s function is … Do I just paste the requested message into the ‘What are you doing’ area ? I did this already and it posted it to a list and that was it … Did I do it right ?

    (Goob: Yes, you simply paste the message in the “what are you doing” field and it’ll broadcast to the world!)

  32. #32 Amanda | February 11th, 2009 at 04:57 pm

    Hopefully this is right, since I, too, am new to twitter.
