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.
