Give yourself a hand!

Why am I particularly jazzed up today, you ask?  Well folks, last night, ScholarshipPoints.com surpassed the 250,000 member mark!!  I know applause should be dealt somewhere, so I say give yourself a round of it.  That’s 1/4 million of you hard earning pointateers out there walking through the ScholarshipPoints doors taking surveys, reading blogs and other cool stuff to win free scholarships.  Bravo.

And speaking of scholarship winners, we have a drawing coming up!  We’re going to try and pin it to the 1st of every month, but since Captain J will be at home preparing various Superbowl cuisines on Sunday, Feb 1st, we’re going to have to wait for the work week (if you have any unique ideas for Superbowl food, post them below!!).  So, on Feb 2nd, 2009, the winners will be posted by noon.  If you check the homepage, you’ll see a giant orange button directing you where you need to go.  Winners page.  I’ll post the winners and 2 runners up for each scholarship, so LOOK FOR YOUR NAME.  If you see it, contact us at members@scholarshippoints.com with a nice big readable subject heading like I AM THE WINNER.

Remember, THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO WIN.  I won’t be calling/e-mailing the winners anymore.  This way ALL scholarships go to regular, deserving customers!  You earned the points, so you should reap the rewards, right?

Some news and notes:

One more question: If we built a cool Facebook application where it would show in your newsfeed that you entered a bonuscode like “Suzie Whatshername just earned 20 points by Digging Debt Reduction!”, would you use it?  I think it would be pretty darn cool, what about you guys?  Comment below.

Code: YIPPE250k

    Yes, I'd definitely go for a Facebook app like that. I hope everyone enjoys this weekend's AD-FEST (and the football game too!) :)

    Congratulations on membership. This is one of the best little known scholarship sites. I'm sure membership will continue to grow. Thanks for providing such wonderful service!

    I don't quite understand how the ZoomPanel 5x works. I was already a member with them before I came here. Does that eliminate me from receiving points for that?

    Never mind about my question. I just read the "Why the heck am I not getting my 5x daily login points?" blog and everything was well explained. Sorry about that :)

    I don't use any facebook applications. At all. So I wouldn't use this one either, but I still check the facebook, twitter and myspace pages.
