I have been an on again, off again member of OLS (aka http://www.online-sweepstakes.com/) for several years. In fact my first paid subscription was back in 2005. OLS has helped me win a number of small prizes over the years, a few gift cards, a few useful things, and even a few things I wonder why I bothered entering the contest for in the first place.
OLS is more than just an Sweepstakes and Contest site; it is a community. It is a community of many interesting, diverse people from all over North America, and I would even guess some from other continents as well. The people in this community are generally friendly, kindhearted, and... well... lucky! After all, we're all there to win a little, learn a little, and share a little. For those of you who frequent OLS, I am known as Schmoolander. I also have to be honest here.. that OLS is the *only* sweepstakes site I've really looked at. I know it is the best... but I really haven't done any comparisons :)
As a member of OLS, I have an uncontrollable urge to check my mail daily, my email every minute, peep out the front door for FedEx, UPS, DHL, and other delivery services, and get excited when a box is on my doorstep... even if it is something I ordered myself. With my birthday coming up (and no, I won't say exactly when, so don't ask), I expect a few more things in the mail... cards, the occasional freebe signed up for online, etc., but today I got something unexpected... a second "My Parent Rewards" card. I'm not completely sure where the second one came from; maybe it was a mistake; maybe I won a second blog contest and was never notified. I received my first one only two weeks ago. I have yet to use it, but it looks promising. Now, I'm not here to review the card, tout its pros or cons, or any of that. In fact, they aren't even a sponser of this blog. It just happens that I have an extra card, and decided to try my very first blog contest!
...And just to give back a little to OLS, this one is only for OLS members.
The giveaway:
1 unopened, unusued, My Parents Reward card (http://www.myparentrewards.com/)... from my mail to yours. No sponsor. Just a prize. No need to visit the site, comment about it, etc.
Here's How To Win:
1) You MUST be a member of OLS, and have been a member since before December 21st, 2009 (the posting of this blog entry). You do not need to be a paid member, just a member.
2) You MUST comment on my blog... otherwise I won't know you entered. Please comment something about OLS. I really don't care what. Or comment about the Blizzard of 2009. I am going to respond via email care of the blog for the winner. If you do not have an email address as a public part of your profile, please enter it in the comment.
3) If you win, you may choose the prize for yourself, or for any other OLS member. The winner email will ask for your OLS username, or the username of your designated prize recipient. I will verify you on there.

I've been on OLS for a little while (username is MamushiLove), but only really got into entering sweepstakes 1.5 years ago. I've won a lot of gifts for my loved ones and myself since then. :3
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty new to sweeping (Oct. '09) but OLS seems pretty good so far.
ReplyDeleteOLS has been such a great find! However, UPS came to the house today and I thought I had a surprise win, but it was something for someone else, so it has ruined me in that respect!
ReplyDeleteI'm a ols member.

Enjoy the possiblity of winning something but most of all it is so nice how OLS members help each other with codes and other info.
ReplyDeleteAs for the blizzard of '09, it stinks!

I've been a member of OLS for years and love, love, love it.
ReplyDeleteYou know I think of life before OLS (sweeping) and after. My kids sometimes complain I am on the computer too much, but they do not mind the cool prizes I get them. For my sister's Christmas this year, everything I had for her and her family was wins (usually at least 75% of our gifts are wins). Her son loved the bike. Her daughter loved the art set; she loved the autographed book and audio book; and her husband will like the cooler. My name at OLS is cluster (original, I know)

Thank you
I am degood on OLS. I don't post all that much on the forums but love the site and have been a member for the past 4 years. I have them to thank for all my wins over the past year and most of my kiddos x-mas gifts are wins from the flip camcorder, to a balance bike, to various DVDs and video games. Our christmas would be alot smaller without OLS!

I have been a member of OLS since January 2003, when the site I had been using went dark. Since then, I have won many small prizes (sweeps, blogs, members-only giveaways) and a few top prizes from major national sweeps. I have to give a lot of credit to OLS for helping me find sweeps, figure out quickly if I'm eligible (I'm a "void in Florida"), and keep track of what I've entered. I recommend the site to all my friends who say, "You're so lucky." They could be too, if they spent some time on OLS. I'm Taminar, by the way.
ReplyDeleteI love OLS. I've been a member since 2006 and am still hoping for a big win while I enjoy all the small ones.
ReplyDeleteI've been a member of OLS since 2003. I love how easy it is to use their site and look for sweeps :)
ReplyDeleteI am so thankful for OLS for all of my wins. The site is so fun. Thanks for the chance.

Merry Christmas.
I love OLS! I'm a long-time member there.
