I won a $15 Amazon gift card... and you can too!

When Matt and I were in Vegas I ended up playing on a Monopoly community gaming station and winning $14 from just a single dollar. It was actually a lot of fun, there were six of us at the table and we were all talking while playing. (Matt and I aren't really gamblers so a $14 win was big for us)

Anyway, I didn't really know what the new community thing was other than I liked it, until we returned home and I decided to play the Monopoly town Instant win game from WMS gaming. I haven't played any Instant Win games this summer since we've been so busy but decided to give this one a shot.

I've been playing the instant win for about two weeks now (and actually learning about all the games I played in Vegas) when Tuesday night I won a $15 Amazon gift card. Such a great reward for clicking the mouse a few times.

So you wanna win $15?
Here's How:

Visit the WMS.com site and click on the Instant win box on the lower left corner.

Sign up for the instant win and sweepstakes game (must be 21 to play)

Start by selecting one of the new slot machines and spin the reel to see if you're a winner.

You can play up to five times per day for a chance to win a prize.


The instant win game runs until September 28th and you can only win one instant win prize so get signed up.


::Prizes up for grabs::

2 Grand Prizes: $5,000 - done by drawing from all entries

100 First prizes: $50 Amazon.com gift card
200 Second Prizes: $25 Amazon.com gift card
2,200 Third Prizes: $15 Amazon.com gift card
2000 Fourth prizes: $10 Amazon.com gift card


One of the reasons I love instant win games (besides the prizes) is because they're actually a lot of fun - and this one doesn't disappoint.

Free Swag bucks & CVS giveaway!

Today is a great day for all my readers that haven’t signed up for Swagbucks yet.

OnOurWay Online has been given the chance to offer extra Swagbucks for any new sign up from today until Friday, April 3rd at midnight!

Have no idea what I’m talking about? Read my original post on Swagbucks HERE.

It’s a great program that I’ve used to purchase a new waffle maker and a whole DVD organizing system (post to come). I use Swagbucks every time I search the internet and am very happy with the results. I’ve purchased many Amazon gift cards but you can also trade in for Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, and Target cards as well. There is also a plethora of musical swag, books and now even a kids section. (which I might have to swag a few things from)

Today is your lucky day because every new sign up who uses the ONOURWAY code gets an extra 2 Swagbucks on top of the 3 just for signing up. That’s 5 FREE Swagbucks! You can’t pass up that opportunity.

All you have to do is...
- Make sure you’re a new registrant to Swagbucks and make sure to use my code ONOURWAY to earn your extra 5 points. You can sign up HERE.
You will earn 3 points for the sign up and 2 points for using my exclusive code - ONOURWAY. (The code is case sensitive)
After signing up with the special code you’ll only have 40 swag bucks to go before you can cash in for your first Amazon gift card. You'll be shopping in no time.

Remember: the code is only active until Friday, April 3rd so make sure to take advantage of it while you can.


Now to the GIVEAWAY
And to add a little extra incentive and celebrate this great swag sign up we decided to host a CVS giveaway. You can win 3 CVS reusable totes and a $5 gift card to the store of your choice (CVS, Walgreens, or Rite Aid).

There are 4 different ways to enter and you can do one or all of them to receive extra entries.

- Sign up for Swagbucks and leave me a comment letting me know you’ve received the extra bucks.
- Leave me a comment with why you love Swagbucks or what you’ve used your bucks to purchase.
- Follow me on Twitter and tweet about this giveaway – make sure to leave me a comment with your twitter name to receive your entry.
- Sign up for my RSS or email subscription feeds and leave me a comment letting me know you have.

This giveaway and the extra Swagbucks both expire on Friday, April 3rd at midnight so stop reading and get swagging!
