ScholarshipPoints Milestone

29 January 2009 404 views 118 Comments

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
