Try Your Luck Thursday 02/11/2010

Posted on 02.12.2010 at 1:00 pm by in Contests

Hey, I’m a day late! I know, shocked, right? As a consolation, I updated the Try Your Luck Thursday winners page and holy cow. Hiffers have already won more prizes this month than I expected would happen all year. NotLoggedIn won free milk for a year, Mariann and Amy won free pants through Dockers, and Wendy won a date night package prized at $1120! And those are only some of the bigger prizes over the past few weeks – there’s no telling what y’all will win in the coming months!

Speaking of Dockers, make sure you enter each day to win one of the 2,990 free pants they’re giving away. Expires 02/15.

How does free Subway footlongs for a year sound? The best part of the campaign is that you can enter up to three times daily. No purchase necessary; new playable codes are updated each day on their Official Rules page (Scroll down to (vi) Daily Complimentary Codes). Ends 04/15.

Brides.com is running a weekly Kohl’s giveaway over the next three months. This weeks prizes are Fiesta Dinnerware Sets. Ends 04/30.

Finally, Gillette is giving somebody and 10 of their friends a Hometown Bar-B-Q with an appearance by a NASCAR driver. They’ll also get a Gillette prize pack and an autographed hat (by the driver, not a Gillette employee). Ends 04/30.

EDIT: I just found out that Sears is giving away six Craftsman power tools. To enter, simply follow the BlueToolCrew on Twitter. End 02/18.

I’m looking for a new way to share the extra 20 or so contest I’ve found. The old way was a spam magnet, so for now, I’ll just list them.

  1. Playtex $3,500 room makeover (04/02)
  2. Maytag Washer and dryer combo Retail value: $2,398 (03/08)
  3. Spy Optic Bodega Sunglasses (??/??)

    Woohoo! Won a free pair of Dockers for my hubby. It’s fun to win, even if I can’t actually wear the pants! Well, I am pregnant, so maybe I could pull it off…

    My answer to “#9 Chris” is no, you don’t have to sign up. If I’m given the option (some contests make you sign up), I always choose no. I’ve won contests where I’ve opted to not receive mailings.

  17. #17 NotLoggedIn | February 13th, 2010 at 12:35 am

    Heads up on the Qdoba one: The coupon is good for only two days after you win/print. Example: if you win on the 13th, the coupon expires on the 15th. I never heard of Qdoba before this, and had to Google to see if one was “accessible”. I went just because I had the coupon. If you’ve never been, and are familiar with Moe’s, it’s comparable. It was good – worth the trip.

    Oh Merci.

    Okay going to continue to sign up.

    Cheers
