Hotcouponworld is throwing another contest party and this one is easy to do.

Love Hotcouponworld? We want you to shout Hotcouponworld from the virtual rooftops and have a chance to win one of three Amazon.com GCs in the process.

Here's the deal:

We all know Hotcouponworld is the #1 grocery community on the net. It has the largest coupon database, the most accurate and honest deal matchups, and of course, the most amazing members on the web. Now it's time to let others know that HCW really is the best site for coupon deals discussion and friendships.

RULES:

For every blog post, response comment to an news story or article, tweet on twitter, facebook post or any other place online you want to share us, come back here, post the link and call it an entry. You can enter as many places as you want, as many times as you want (be sure you're posting different information with each post or tweet and you're not out their spamming the internet :biggrin:).

So, if you posted on posted something about HCW on facebook and twitter today, post the links back here in this thread so I can give you credit. Use one post per URL, meaning, if you post it on facebook, make that URL it's own post here in the forum. If you post it on Twitter, make that URL it's own post here in the forum as well. That way, there's one URL per post and I can count each URL as an entry to the contest.

NOTE: If you post to Twitter, please use the hash code #hotcouponworld in your posts.

If you have any questions, please post them here or PM me and I'll get them answered.

First prize: $100 Amazon.com GC to the person who gets us out there the most.

Second prize: $50 Amazon.com GC

Third prize: $25 Amazon.com GC

Contest ends on March 15th at 12 midnight Pacific Time. Winners will be tallied and announced the next day.

Thanks for keeping Hotcouponworld the best coupon site on the net.

Have fun and GOOD LUCK!!!

Is it ok to mention HCW most anywhere? I'm writing a mini-book on couponing for beginners and really want to include Hcw as a resource...just want to be sure it's not some legal infringement...

Also, I'll be encouraging moms at my MOPS meeting this Tuesday to take advantage of HCW...does that count for the contest? :)

Thanks!

I posted this (http://frugalityinthemaking.blogspot.com/2009/03/need-some-free-music-for-your-mp3.html) before the deadline yesterday, but didn't mention it here until this morning. If it doesn't count, that's OK just disregard this

Dont the posts have to be made after the start date of the contest?


I thought so too, but apparently not. Wish I had known! And I feel really bad for Abagailsmommy. She had a lot she deleted.
