I thought it would be fun to end the first week of Giveaway May at Consumerism Commentary with a bigger giveaway. Like many of the prizes I’m offering this month, this takes the form of a gift card from Amazon.com. I generally choose Amazon.com because they sell a wide variety of items, both necessities and wants, so there is something for everyone.
If you’ve missed the four giveaways earlier this week — or even if you didn’t — from now until 10:00 PM Sunday evening, you’ll have a chance to win more. Because this is the last giveaway, I’m offering extra time to qualify. Most other giveaways end at 10:00 PM the same day, but for today’s giveaway, the eligibility period is extended by 48 hours.
Again, qualifying for entering the giveaway is simple.
- Become a fan — or “like” — Consumerism Commentary on Facebook. If you are already a fan, don’t fret. You will qualify, too. If you’re not, you can use this button to make this process of “liking” Consumerism Commentary easy:
- Scroll to the bottom of this article or click here to view the form where you can leave a comment.
- Connect to your Facebook account by clicking the “Connect to Facebook” button. None of your Facebook information is stored here.
- Leave a comment to let me know that you are a fan of Consumerism Commentary on Facebook.
Don’t forget to become a fan and leave a comment before 10:00 PM Eastern Time on Sunday, May 8 to qualify for the $100 Amazon.com Gift Card giveaway. The winner will be chosen within a few days after this giveaway ends and contacted shortly thereafter. Once we confirm the winner is eligible, the gift card will be delivered by email within a few days.

I am glad I became a fan of you on Facebook because before I did you had 666 fans. I am glad to be the one to up that number. :)
I added a comment under my FB account but I don’t see it. Maybe it has to be approved?
I liked CC on facebook, but I’m really uncomfortable connecting any comments to my facebook profile (unique name that’s easy to google and all that), so hopefully this is enough!
