This coming month is going to be “Giveaway May” at Consumerism Commentary. Every weekday, I will feature a new giveaway for readers. It will be simple to enter, usually just requiring a comment and one other action (such as subscribing to the RSS feed, following me on Twitter, or liking Consumerism Commentary on Facebook). Each day will offer at least one more opportunity to come away with a minimum of a $50 Amazon.com gift certificate. Consumerism Commentary is partnering with other blogs and companies to bring a big selection of free goodies to readers.
There will be some surprises along the way. Expect to see a few popular and valuable gifts this month, and these won’t be announced until the morning of the giveaway. I’m still in the process of lining up sponsors, as well, who will receive special mentions in the list below and on the day they sponsor.
Here’s the schedule. As I mentioned, some information will not be announced until the morning of that day’s giveaway or the night before, so keep checking back here for the updates. Winners will be contacted directly and privately to confirm eligibility and announced at a later date.
Important note. In order to enter one of the giveaways, you must look for that day’s giveaway entry on Consumerism Commentary. Each will be posted around 6:00 AM Eastern. Later that day, the link will be added to this article. For example, to enter the giveaway for May 2, you can click on the date in the table below to find out what you need to do to qualify.
Keep visiting this page for updates and subscribe to the RSS feed to ensure you don’t miss any giveaways.
The winner of each day’s giveaway will be chosen at random. There are some eligibility requirements:
- You must have an address in the United States.
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You and everyone in your family must not be affiliated with Consumerism Commentary.
- It must be legal where you live to participate in this giveaway.

All this enthusiasm is great! Keep in mind that you’ll need to check back every morning to find out what the giveaway is and how to qualify. I appreciate all the comments on this post, but if you’re interested in winning, there will be challenges to look out for.

Nice Flexo.
For those following this post: Keep in mind you need to visit a different page to actually enter the giveaway. Commenting here does not qualify you. There will be a new post every day outlining what is required to enter. Here is the giveaway for May 2. The links will be added to this post, but not until mid-day. It will be quicker to always look for new articles at Consumerism Commentary.
as always, thank you flexo for the opportunity to gain something extra in addition to what you provide to us all on a daily basis!
thanks for the giveaway contest flexo. I’m looking forward to some of the questions you’ve got prepared for us readers.
contests are fun
I love my Amazon GCs. Thanks for the opportunities.

Looking forward to joining in on the festivities!!
I love giveaways! I’ll make sure to also “Like” you. ;)
Thanks! Great giveaways!
flexo, i know you stated the winners will be informed when they are selected, but it is generally a day or two after each giveaway is announced? i am just trying to figure out when i should be giving up hope for each giveaway.
thanks
It’s taking some time to pick the winners. Only the first day’s winner has been confirmed so far. So don’t give up hope!
haha, thanks! never! great job with this, i would imagine it is a great deal of additional work. i am sure it will pay off for you and the site when it is all over.
I have NOT won yet!!…
