Weekly Winners! 9/28/07
Friday, September 28, 2007 12:05 AM

I'm glad to report at least 2 wins this week!

 

1/ As you already know we had our first SM / Winners Circle Draw on Tuesday night for $50 cash.

Congratulations again to our winner - Slokay! 

2/ We also had our first Golden Jigsaw winner!!

Congratulations to MustangChick for winning the daily quiz on Monday!

It definitely will be worth while to continue getting answers in every day, I'm sure we'll see some more familiar names on this winners list soon.

3/ Scoutmom won Fact or Crap Tuesday evening - but who will be the winner in the live game on Friday night at 10pm EST? Tune into irc #steeplemedia to watch or play along! Don't forget to check out The Dish for daily Fact or Crap fun

4/ It doesn't seem like Brand Port Sweeps have announced last week's winners still - I wonder if they are having prize problems again? The week before they had to substitute 10,000 BP points for the $10 iTunes gift Cards. So, we still don't know if we had any winners last Sunday BUT I'm going to encourage you once again to participate in this because the prizes just got even better! This Sunday top prize is 2 x $1000 Gift Cards! The following week top prize is 3 x $1000 Gift Cards! I'd love to see a Steeple win one of those :) 

5/ Next eScavengers is Sept 30 at 9:30pm EST for 5 DVD's of your choice! Make sure you play! I also found 2 more adventures were added to the arcade to play for doubloons, so I quickly did! It may take a while, but eventually you can get enough points for a prize! I also just discovered something rather interesting. If you select an arcade adventure BEFORE signing in, you are presented with a MUCH LARGER number of available adventures. After selecting, but before playing you log in, then play!

6/ We played week 8 of Covet last Monday night. It was a bit of a shamozzle! Some people got the question a full HOUR ahead! Sadly, I was not one of those!  It will be interesting to see if the issue is mentioned at all or ignored. I don't see any more winners announced (they have announced up to week 4 so far) but our very own UNRULI1 was mentioned in the blog entry entitled "Video Challenge 2"

Hopefully this means she has won a prize for week 8! Several names were mentioned, so perhaps instead of 1 winner they are choosing 3 for week 8? Let us know Unruli!

Only 2 more to go, so make sure you enter for your chance at a prize. Is anyone having a go at the video challenges?

 
That's all for now - please do let us know of your wins so we can share your excitement!

Don't forget to get those submissions in by 6pm tonight for site of the week! Covet is nearly over we need a new game with big prizes!

Have a great weekend!

FREEBIES! 9/27/07
Wednesday, September 26, 2007 8:39 PM

This week I got another Dove sample, Natural Sugar substitute, Nivea Hydro Gel, Daisy fragrance sample (must be from ages ago, I'm not bothering with these anymore), coupon for free case of capri Sun and Clean and Clear Cleanser. My free subscriptions to Blender, Spin and Better Homes and Gardens have started arriving and Elle Decor started last week!

I also got a coupon for $50 off an order of $200 or more from Bobby Jones, which I believe is a golfing wear brand. If anyone is interested, email me and i will send it to you. Expires Nov 30, 2007.

Here's some new ones you might like this week. Don't forget to check Walmart freebies - they have 5 up right now but 2 are diaper related and 2 are hair related.

1/ FIBRE ONE cereal from Start Sampling.

2/ BOARD GAME about healthy eating for kids called Staying Alive, Lost in the Mountains!. Register, then click on game banner on left, then checkout. FREE!

Speaking of games and puzzles - came across the PIECELESS PUZZLE! Have you guys seen this? This looks pretty cool, especially for younger kids - those pieces always go missing, don't they?

If you help them spread the word, as I am doing right now, they will also send you one for free! I can't wait to see if it's actually difficult enough with all the pieces connected like that.....

Anyway, check it out!

If you would also like to help spread the word: "All you have to do is help us spread the word about it through blogs, online forums, and your email network. Simply forward a link to your post or send a copy of your email, along with your name and complete mailing address (no P.O. boxes) to pr@gamewright.com Please allow 4 weeks for delivery."

3/ Chinese Silk Woven handkerchief for requesting brochure. You don't have to fill out the 2nd page either apparently, but I did anyway - only a couple of questions.

4/ Solar Schoolhouse calendar. Looks nice! Register to receive. Sent out in late Oct / early Nov Just need to fill in name and address for calendar

5/ SUNSWEET samples - try early in the morning, because it's telling me they have reached their daily quota right now... (LINK REMOVED! I have tried all kinds of times and it always says they are out! Pfffft!)

6/ PROTEIN SHAKE Rocky Road flavour - you MUST copy and paste this info in the comments box at bottom of request form:

FREE SAMPLE
New! Pro Complex
Rocky Road
OFFER CODE: PCW1004

7/ Unity Transition Journal - I think some people will really enjoy this. I might get one for my Mother in law. It is religious with weekly themes focusing on hope, peace, love and joy. It's a 12 days of Christmas program.

8/ ACTIQ welcome kit - comes with a free fanny pack, cabinet safety locks, luggage locks and a children's book!

9/ CLINIQUE HAPPY perfume sample - not a scratch and sniff but an actual little purse size bottle! You send an e-card, then you will get a coupon to print out and take to your nearest Clinque retailer for your bottle.

10/ ATKINS ADVANTAGE snack bar - although I think I did this one because I just received a coupon for a box of Atkins shakes for free, so you may get that.

You might want to check out these (thanks Scoutmom!) from P&G. I think I have applied for all of these separately but you might find a few new ones in here:

P & G

Enjoy and let me know what you all are getting!

Don't forget to get your site of the week entries in by 6pm tomorrow night!

I still have a few CD's to give away and rather a lot of makeup :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shopping Bargains! 9/26/07
Wednesday, September 26, 2007 12:00 AM

I can't resist, I'm going to go with TANGA again for today because I know that Tangathon is going to still be going!

Last Tangathon I scored 3 board games - and some really cool card games for kids. I also scored an Epson Picture mate digital photo printer which I LOVE for $39.99.

The last 3 Tangathons I have missed out on trash - but the one time I scored trash, it was awesome! For $1.99 plus $3.99 shipping I got several board games, toys and knick knacks

Plus I WISH more people would come and do Tanga PUZZLES with me! I am pretty bad at them by myself!

Tanga also has 'levels' of membership now! When I just went up a level, they gave me $5! Every time you move up a level, they give you $5! Awesome! Levels are based on points, so you don't even have to purchase if you don't want to.

So, come on, who's in?? 

TANGA 

$50 Draw RESULTS!
Tuesday, September 25, 2007 10:43 PM

 We had our $50 draw tonight at 9pm in irc #Steeplemedia.

It was very exciting.

We began with a round of Fact or Crap with Zach - very fun! If you win you get to choose a bag between 1 - 40.

You get whatever is inside the bag. Might be nothing! Scout won and chose bag #37 which sadly contained nothing :(

For the $50 we had only 5 eligible players! Wow! Awesome odds!

I chose a number between 1 and 100 and closest to my number won!

CONGRATULATIONS again to Slokay, our first $50 draw winner!!!!!

It's not too late to get involved! We will be having another draw as soon as the pot reaches $50 again and we are already at $30! All you need to do is use the referral link to sign up for Jellyfish, and then come join us when you can to play in irc #jellyfish!

 

 

TANGATHON!
Tuesday, September 25, 2007 10:35 PM

Did I tell you how much I love Tanga?!

It you love board games, toys, electronics, you really should check tanga out too.

Last Tangathon went for about 4 days I think...... 

And I can't stress enough, if you see a garbage bag, buy it!! 

 

CHECK IT OUT HERE!!!

In to WIN!! 9/25/07
Monday, September 24, 2007 9:18 PM

First up, in case you haven't yet heard (where have you been, in a cave?!) show up in irc #steeplemedia TONIGHT at 9pm EST for your chance to win $50!! You must have used the SM referral to sign up to Jellyfish and you must be present at draw.

Once I know who is in the draw, Zach will host some fact or crap whilst we prepare, then the draw will begin! 

Good Luck!

I must confess, I have been dreadfully busy of late and haven't entered much at all. When I have a minute I am catching up on Golden Jigsaw, and sneaking in a few live msn games, because I still am hoping ot get an xbox one of these days!

 

But I have scoured my favourite sites and picked out these for you to try this week.

1/ GENERAL MILLS - pretty decent chance to score $25. Grand prize is $1000. They give you a code if you don't have one.

2/ DALLAS COWBOYS - heaps of prizes, sure to be some winners here eventually. 1160 chances to win $5, 24 autographed footballs worth $120 and a bunch of other prizes in between.

3/ GAMETAP - grand prize of a nifty computer, but a $20 Best Buy GC would be fine with me too!

4/ ORANGE JULIUS - win a Nano or a shuffle! Or, if you are super lucky a $5000 pre paid credit card. Lots of $5 Gift Cards being won.

5/ HGTV - stacks of prizes plus I just love stuff that helps me get more organized! Admittedly it's only 1 prize a day for 90 days, but I'm hoping not so many people are interested in these prizes...

6/ VOILA - play on Wednesday for a chance to win $1000, but you can play each day for a heap of small prizes - and they will give you a code if you need one. ( 014500012345)

7/ MARIE CALLENDER - Cooking.com gift cards - lovely! Something about the cooler weather gets me excited about baking! Enter UPC's: 0071284526, 2030337290, 2030237290 (codes may change but these worked for me today)

8/  EDGE instant - win a nice TV or a Nano. Don't know why but I fancy a TV to go with my Wii / Xbox / PS3 when I win one!

OK thats it for me for today! 

Oh, and by the way, those 3 entertainment instants are still going! Go check WC archives for links if you don't have them. 

See you at 9pm! 

WOW!!! I just checked BP SWEEPS and the prizes are awesome this week! Watch 10 ads by Sunday midnight to get 10 entries in the draw!  They have 2 x $1000 AmEx Gift Cards, 2 x $250 Gamestop Gift Cards, 10 x $100 Visa Gift Cards, 25 x $20 Barnes and Noble Gift Cards, 50 x $10 Best Buy Gift Cards, and 300 x 1000 BP points!

 

 

 

Site of the Week! 9/24/07
Monday, September 24, 2007 12:00 AM

First off, I want to remind all you Jellyfish players to show up at 9pm tomorrow for the $50 cash draw in mIRC #steeplemedia!!

You gotta be there to win!

Ok, thanks once again goes to Unruli1 for the site/s this week!

I will send you an email shortly and we'll see if there are any prizes left you would like! 

This is a 2 part site of the week

The first is BEAUTY SNOB which has a daily contest at noon EST. The prize is a beauty product. they had 20 radiance masks to giveaway, hopefully they are starting a new giveaway today.

All you have to do is be the first person to identify (by submitting as a comment) the celebrity shown in the picture the publish. You can only win once er month, so we can help each other all win :)

They have a sister site, BAG SNOB - this looks really hard! You have to be first to identify the bag shown in the picture (eg by designer name) to win the prize. If you know your fashion / bags, this is a good one for you - I'm sure there is less competition here!  

They seem to have been running these since July, so hopefully they will continue for a while longer.

See you at noon!

Don't forget to come play Covet tonight also!

Weekly Round Up! 9/21/07
Friday, September 21, 2007 12:00 AM

Well I haven't heard of any huge wins this week, but there were wins!

1/ Our best score was for those who were able to convert guru points to cash on Jellyfish this week! Awesome!

Thanks to referrals, the Steeple account was also able to collect cash and I am pleased to announce our first $50 CASH draw which will be held on TUESDAY, Sepetember 25th, at 9pm in Mirc #steeplemedia. (Changed from Monday due to people being absurdly busy on Monday nights lol)

Please come along for your chance to win! Whilst I am setting up draw hopefully Zach will run a quick game of Fact or Crap for us too! SPECTATORS WARMLY WELCOMED! It should be rather exciting plus I might need help from an ineligible Steep :)

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

This money is available due to referrals, and due to contributions in the jellyfish chat room. Therefore, you MUST have used the steeple referral to sign up and you MUST be a regular contributer in jellyfish chat. I think that is fair - if you have issue with that, please feel free to email me before Tuesday to discuss, I am always open to opinions.

If anyone's eligibility is in question, i will defer to an anonymous vote by the rest of the people in attendance.

If you want to be elligible for the next draw, make sure you come by and chat with us when you can!

The cash will be via Paypal transfer, after the cash is made available to SM, which may be a week after the draw.

MAKE SURE YOU ATTEND!!

Still haven't joined Jellyfish? Click HERE to check it out!

2/ What did i tell you about BP Sweeps?! We are going to see winners here, I know it. Give it a try! This week I won 1000 points again (not too exciting, basically worth $1 but I'm not complaining) AND Slokay won 10,000 points (which can be traded for a $10 gift card!) Not the big ones, but we will get there!

Check it out HERE and get your entries in before Sunday!

3/ I missed out on eScavengers by 2 seconds last time we played! very exciting! They have changed their format and you can now play some adventures ANYTIME for doubloons - and then trade doubloons for prizes. I was very excited until I played about 5 of them and it told me there were no more available. Hopefully they will add more soon.

4/ Last but not least, come on guys, it's time to pull out the BIG GUNS! Tell me where all the real GEM web sites are! You know, the ones where you find all those SUPER bargains or FREEBIES, the ones where you play GAMES for prizes! Email by 6pm tonight and whichever I feature on Monday will win a CD!

Otherwise it's gonna be a busy weekend for me again............help me out guys!

Have a great weekend!

P.S. Don't forget to play Covet and Golden Jigsaw! See Winners Circle Forum for answers!

The Golden Jigsaw is Back!
Thursday, September 20, 2007 4:51 PM

And it looks pretty simple.

I see 5 pieces available. They give you the website, you basically just follow the links.

So far so good.

They also have a new DAILY challenge which are questions based on the day's websites.

You have 24 hrs to email the answers and be in the draw for the prize.

I think we should put these in forum each day - but just one post for now. Just put date and keep adding under "Golden Jigsaw Daily Quiz Discussion

So far this week I have received: about 20 coupons for buy one get one free vanilla coke coupons from Vocalpoint, Kashi cookie, Personality Code Blinky (yes, I ordered one - hey I reckon they deserve to have to send a bunch of these out at least after what they did to the legitimate Wii winners), Ziploc steam bag, Natural Choice Cat food coupon for 4lb bag, Loreal Vive Pro, and my two 2smrt4u rings. I also received a sample pack from Vista print. (Who will print you a set of  'free' magnets, calendars etc but you have to pay $5 or so shipping. However the sample pack is totally free)

In to Win 9/18/07
Tuesday, September 18, 2007 1:00 AM

 I have 3 things to share before I list some instants for this week.

 1. Something weird is going on with BP Sweeps this week - it looks like all entries are carried over a 2nd week. So the $1000 TV is still up for grabs and you can get 10 more entries for this week by watching 10 more ads. If you missed out last week, you can also catch up by watching all 20 ads, then have 20 entries in the draw.

2. I have no clue how this happened, but apparently I won a BB gun this week. So weird. I am clueless about guns! Maybe I'll add it over on the prize exchange forum. Speaking of which - does anyone has a second hand desktop they might like to trade for any of the things I have won? I'm looking to get one for my DD who has a birthday coming up.

3. The Steeple Media Jellyfish account successfully turned points into CASH which means.....we are ready for our first $50 draw amongst referrals! I am thinking next Monday, Sep 24 at 9pm in mIRC #steeplemedia. You MUST be both present and a Steeplemedia referral to be eligible. If your eligibility is in question, it will be decided upon by the majority of those in attendance.

I hope many of you also managed to turn points into cash today. I know a few of you managed to score over $100 - fantastic! If you haven't joined yet, check it out HERE 

Okay, on with more winning!

I am beign lazy and going with the Quick and Simple contests this week. Well I tried with the instants but my computer is doing funny things and it's time for bed!

QUICK AND SIMPLE 

9/16 (shiny) - Orgnx hair care from LaCOupe.com (16 prizes; ARV $100)

Get Paid to Read!
Monday, September 17, 2007 1:38 AM

Anyone like to read?

For the site of the week this week I would like to introduce you to an online bookstore. It's rather magnificent because they really do seem to have those hard to find books and out of print books. On more than one occasion I have found something I was looking for here when I couldn't find it elsewhere.

ALIBRIS 

And now they are even better because they give away 5 x $100 (in the form of a Gift Card for Alibris) every month now selected at random from everyone who submits a book review! The more reviews you do, the better your chances! Every month!

I think this is an awesome chance for avid readers out there to have a say and score free books!

Check them out anyway - great bookstore :)

 

See you tonight for COVET I hope!
