Gift card giveaway (quick one).

by

It’s a gloomy, overcast day here. Maybe it is where you are, too. So I just decided to do a quick-turnaround $20 Valentine’s Day gift card giveaway, to brighten everyone’s mood.

My mood, because I like to give things away.

Your mood, because you might win. (It could happen!)

Maybe you’d use the prize to brighten your day: getting that book you wanted, or picking up some really good lip balm and lotion to deal with winter dryness. Or to brighten someone else’s day – either a “just because” gift or a Valentine’s Day (or Galentine’s Day) present.

Instead of making an executive decision about this gift card giveaway, I’m going to give the winner a handful of options and let them decide. The card will come in part from the Shopkick app, so I’ll be pulling those options from the app’s rewards center.

A quick word about Shopkick: It’s one of my favorites now that I’ve finally gotten a smartphone. Pretty simple to use: You get points for scanning UPCs from certain products in drugstores, department stores, supermarkets, pet emporia and other retailers, and then trade them in for Fabulous Prizes. (Specifically: gift cards, PayPal, or contributions to Feeding America or the American Red Cross.)

If you actually buy any of those products, you get a bunch more points. You can also get points for watching very short videos in the app. (Think: 10 to 30 seconds.) Although I don’t buy all that much, I am having a lot of fun with this app. (If you’d like to join, go to https://www.shopkick.com/ and fill in the referral code WIN358965.)

Now: On to your choices. Although 47 options exist, I’m gonna limit them to the following:

 

Amazon

Apple

Bed Bath & Beyond

Foot Locker

Kohl’s

Lowe’s

Old Navy

Sephora

Starbucks

Target

Ulta

Walmart

 

How to enter to win

 

As always, it’s fairly simple:

Be sure to leave a separate comment for each entry (e.g., “Subscribed via e-mail” or “Follow you on Twitter”).

When I called this a quick-turnaround giveaway, I meant it: The entry deadline is 6 p.m. PST Friday, Feb. 5. If I don’t hear back from the winner by 6 p.m. PST Saturday, Feb. 6, I’ll have the random number generator pull a new name.

  51. What a great idea! We are shoveled out of the snow, and more expected this weekend. Wednesday was my first day out in about 5 days? I imagine some people are going stir crazy and need a pick me up.
