You're still on walmart?

What are the next best alternatives?

Walmart seems convenient bc I am planning on just buying prepaid amex/visa cards with a loss of $10. Is there a similar option available at another store?

This is weird. I just received 3 gifts in the last 5 minutes.

1) From 24 hours ago - I forgot to go through giftchain site
2) From a few hours ago - I went through site (did addt'l after and they came instantly)
3) From a minute ago

But that's not the weird part...

I previously got a bunch of junk, SR, $5 credits, and 250 MRP

These three were:
1) $15 on next walmart purchase
2) $20 Amex GC
3) $15 on next ________ purchase - This one the email has a blank instead of writing "walmart" - which I assume is what it means - but not really sure....

....this promo sure is unpredictable. Plus it seems that the ones that get "clogged" and arrive late are better gifts. Coincidence perhaps.

I'm starting to suspect they have monkeys pushing through the emails at the other end, especially when you win something bigger.

Just a question to make sure I understand this promo properly. Why do you guys buy stuff now online and sell for less value etc, can't you just send by mail to recieve the same prizes?

Who says they'll be any prizes left by the time your mail gets to its destination?

Is it first come first served basis?

As opposed to rationing out the prizes over a certain period? I can't say for sure, but I'd imagine its more first come first served than rationed.

Anyone confirmed that buying dell egift cards from dell.cashstar.com counts?

S G · « **Reply #259 on:** November 30, 2011, 11:32:06 AM »

Does anyone know how to use the shareable gift cards? I sent it to my friends but they get an error saying that "this gift isn't for you.."..
