PRESENTS THE
Post a Deal, Win a Gift Card
SUMMER GIVEAWAY


Introducing the next giveaway here on GottaDeal.com! After the huge success of the last 4 giveaways, we're not wasting any time and are starting another one right away with very similar rules.

Over the next couple months, we are going to award giveaway entries to forum members who post qualifying* deals in the Online Hot Deals forum. You can earn a maximum of 5 entries per day - one for each qualifying* deal you post.

At the end of the contest period, we will choose 4 winners. Each winner will receive a $50 gift card from the store or web site of their choice.

In addition, the member who posts the most qualifying deals during the entire contest period will receive a digital picture frame!


OFFICIAL RULES

  • Promotion period begins on June 16, 2008 at 12:00am Eastern Time and ends on August 31, 2008 at 11:59pm Eastern Time.
  • All registered GottaDeal.com forum members are eligible to participate in this promotion, including temporary and permanent moderators.
  • Members found to have created multiple forum accounts for the purposes of accumulating additional entries will be disqualified from the promotion.
  • You will receive one drawing entry for each qualifying* deal thread posted in the Online Hot Deals forum during the contest period.
  • Only your first five qualifying* deal threads will earn you entries each day. Each daily period starts at 12:00am and ends at 11:59pm Eastern Time.
  • Grand and runner up prize winners will be randomly selected on September 1, 2008 from all entries earned during the promotion period.
  • Winners will be contacted via private message and/or e-mail to claim their prize. If a prize is not claimed within 14 days, it will be forfeited.

* Qualifying Deals: In order for a deal thread to qualify for an entry for this promotion, it must satisfy ALL of the following criteria:

1. The thread's title must include the name of the retailer the deal is for.
2. The post must contain a link, even if it's just a link to the retailer's home page.
3. The deal must be from one of our partner retailers (see list below).
4. The deal must must be unique and not be a repost of a recently posted deal.

We reserve the right to disqualify any deal thread for any reason. Besides these mandatory criteria, we also ask that you be as descriptive as possible in your thread title. Where possible, include an image in your post. If there is a specific method to get the deal, provide step-by-step instructions. If a coupon code is needed, be sure to include the code in your post. Please do not directly copy and paste deals from other sites forums - you may "borrow" the deal, but type the title and post in your own words. Directly copied posts may be disqualified from counting for the promotion.

CONTEST UPDATES AND HELPFUL HINTS:

PLEASE SEARCH BEFORE POSTING DEALS! RE-POSTS WILL BE DELETED!

MAKE SURE YOUR DEAL IS A LEGIT DEAL AND NOT JUST "FILLER" TO EARN AN ENTRY!
THESE "FILLER" DEAL THREADS MAY NOT COUNT TOWARDS THE CONTEST!


PLEASE TAKE TIME TO READ THE ENTIRE CONTEST DESCRIPTION BELOW
YES, IT'S LONG, BUT IT WILL SAVE YOU TIME TO DO THINGS RIGHT THE FIRST TIME


SIMILAR DEALS POSTED FROM THE SAME RETAILER ON THE SAME DAY MAY
BE MERGED INTO ONE MASTER THREAD - COMBINE DEALS WHERE POSSIBLE!


PLEASE REMEMBER TO USE DOLLAR SIGNS $$$ IN YOUR SUBJECTS AND AVOID ALL CAPS!

DO NOT POST DEALS FOR ON-GOING SITE OFFERS THAT ARE NOT LIMITED TIME,
SUCH AS A FREE SHIPPING OFFER THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOREVER, ETC...
THESE DEALS MAY BE DELETED AND WON'T COUNT TOWARD GIVEAWAY!



If you have any questions about the promotion, please reply to this thread or PM me.

Oriental Trading

Also, there is a chance that Amazon.com will be added back as a partner retailer starting with the next contest. More on that later.
