We have been working hard to build up our online social communities this past month and could use a little boost. We thought to ourselves... let's see if we can get a boost by offering great prizes on twitter.

We will hold a random drawing on Monday, August 3rd, 2009, where a follower of ours will be selected to win our grand prize: an iPod Touch (approximate $300 retail value for the 16-gig model) and $200 to be given in their name to a charity of their choice. No matter how many follwers we receive, we will select one grand-prize winner at random.

BONUS!!! If Accessrx.com reaches more than 2,000 followers by Monday, August 3rd, 2009, we will also award 2 more iPod Touches (16-gig) and $400 in charity money (each of two additional winners will receive the iPod Touch and $200 for charity).

We will also be giving away at least 20 other prizes, regardless of how many followers we obtain (prizes have not yet been decided).

    Win Intercontintntal Dubai Prizes - ends 8/09

    From Thursday 7th May, InterContinental Dubai Festival City will begin a summer of amazing prize giveaways, launching the first treasure hunt in Dubai to be directed by Twitter alerts.

    Every second Thursday until the 13th August 2009, the hotel will place a series of ‘Keast Tweets’ on its Twitter profile informing the followers of the location and time where they can collect their stunning gift from InterContinental’s Chief Concierge, Adam Keast. The locations will change, however they will always be near an accessible Dubai landmark. Followers will have to stay poised for the ‘Keast Tweet’ alerts, which will be posted once a fortnight for 16 weeks, to learn where and when the fastest person may claim each of the prizes.

    Prizes are promised to be extremely attractive, ranging from a stay in the Presidential Suite complete with dinner at the fine dining, award winning restaurant ‘Reflets par Pierre Gagnaire’, to spa treatments and helicopter tour packages. The contents of each prize will be announced to all Twitter followers of the hotel, before the ‘Keast Tweet’ clue as to the whereabouts is revealed.
    This will be one of the largest ever giveaways over Twitter, the modern and highly publicised social network medium, but one which the hotel are confident will become extremely popular in Dubai. Since the start of 2009, InterContinental along with its sister hotel Crowne Plaza Dubai Festival City have taken advantage of social network media such as Twitter and Facebook as a method of communicating directly with current and potential customers, and offering exclusive online deals. Recently, the hotels also gave away free room nights to whomever of their Twitter followers were the first to reply at a certain time.

    The ‘Keast Tweets’ giveaways will soon be the talk of the town, so stay alert for the next one by following InterContinental Dubai Festival City on their Twitter profile at

    www.twitter.com/intercondfc


    The hotel wish good luck to all their followers, and advise them to keep their running shoes handy!

    Win a Macbook Air - ends 7/16

    DealsPlus is turning 3 years old, and for some reason, we're giving you a birthday gift! For the next 10 days, starting July 6, we'll be giving out a Macbook Air every day for the next 10 days. That's ten Macbook Airs!

    As of this giveaway, we are combining our services with Twitter so that the valuable information we carry about sales and specials can be shared more freely. Check out our new home page!

    Update! - July 8, 2009

    After a long, coffee-fueled debate in our executive cardboard meeting room, we've decided to make several changes to the contest rules:

    • Eligible entries are now tweets made @dealsplus, rather than using the hashtag #dealsplus.
    • Entrants are now limited to five (5) tweets, or entries, per day. If you get picked and you have more than 5 tweets @dealsplus for the day, we'll pick someone else.

    • Too difficult? Just tweet this!

    These changes were made out of respect for Twitterdom. They take effect Wednesday, July 8, 2009!

    How to Enter

    There are a couple of ways to to take a crack at winning your cool new Macbook Air and iPod Touch:

    1. Re-tweet a deal or coupon. Good places to find them are the home page, or the coupons page.
    2. Simply tweet @dealsplus in any of your tweets on Twitter (say that five times fast). Be as funny or creative as you'd like!

    You can tweet @dealsplus up to five (5) times for each day the contest is running (until July 17th). Each tweet will count as one eligible entry and winners will be chosen by Rand-Metrius, the DealsPlus God of all things random. Each day's contest starts at 12:00AM PST, and ends at 11:59PM PST.

    Winners will be announced on our Twitter page, so don't forget to follow @dealsplus to see if you've won!

    The Rules

    1. Contest will run on weekdays (M-F) from July 6 to July 17, excluding Saturday and Sunday.
    2. Limit five (5) tweets/entries @dealsplus per user account. If you get picked and you have more than 5 tweets @dealsplus for the day, we'll pick someone else.
    3. One winner per Twitter account.
    4. To enter, you must send out a tweet from your Twitter account @dealsplus. Each tweet with @dealsplus included is considered an entry. The rest of the tweet text is up to you, so have fun with it!
    5. Blatant usage of scripts or automated tweeting processes of any kind will automatically disqualify you from the contest.
    6. The winning prize will be a $1,399.00 gift certificate to the Apple store which maybe used toward the purchase of a Macbook Air laptop with Apple's "back to school" promotion (iPod touch comes free after a rebate with the same promotion).
    7. No purchase necessary to enter. You do not need to have a DealsPlus account to participate.
    8. Once contacted, winner will be responsible for providing the correct mailing address and personal information.
    9. All entrants must be 14 years of age or older.
    10. Each "day" starts at 12:00AM PST, and ends at 11:59PM PST.

    iPod touch giveaway - ends 7/10

    To celebrate and announce the upcoming Happn.in iPhone application, we are giving away an iPod Touch on July 10. Here’s the deal:

    To enter, just @-reply Happn.in within Twitter – that’s @happn_in (note the underscore). We will randomly choose one winner on July 10 at 5 PM Eastern Time.

    TO INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING (three-fold): be sure you are a follower of one of the Happn.in cities on Twitter – check the list to find the city nearest you.

    Happn.in makes Twitter more useful (see this recent blog post for why we think Twitter is mostly not useful right now) – we collect local data so you can see what people are Twittering about around you. Currently, we have over 130,000 people following 67 Happn.in cities worldwide. With our upcoming iPhone application, we’re going give our users even more ways to engage with their local community through Twitter.

    Starting Sunday July 5, you can throw your name in the hat for our 8 GB iPod Touch Giveaway, and on Friday, July 10 at 5 PM Eastern, we’ll choose one of you at random.

    Contest Rules

    1. Contest runs from July 5 through July 10.
    2. You enter by replying to @happn_in from your Twitter Account (doesn’t matter what you say, but if you use profane or offensive language, we’ll disqualify you and think lowly of you).
    3. If, on July 10th, you are a follower of one of the 67 Happn.in Cities, you will be three times as likely to win the contest (think of it like this: anyone can get a raffle ticket, but Happn.in followers get THREE raffle tickets). You can see the full list (with links to their Twitter accounts) at Happn.in. You can follow more than one city, of course, but this won’t increase your chances.
    4. A winner will be chosen at random on Friday, July 10 at 5 PM Eastern; and will be announced via the official Happn.in Twitter User (@happn_in)
    5. The winner must provide us with a legit mailing address within 7 days of the announcement. We will attempt to contact the winner through Twitter Direct Message (though, that person must follow @happn_in for us to be able to do that). The 8 GB iPod Touch will be sent out within 7 days after receiving the mailing address.
    6. We reserve the right to change or update these rules as necessary.
