$5000 By Thanksgiving

[dgridley]

Hey, Blingo.com has posted on their homepage that someone will definitely win $5000 by Thanksgiving just by using Blingo to search! No registration required.. I've won movie tickets.. would be nice to get my hands on that $5k!

Sounds great! Is this open for everyone?

 

[dgridley]

Hm, you'd have to read the rules to be sure but I think the prizes are US only.. not positive on this.

The best part of Blingo is Blingo Friends.. if your friend wins, you win too!

Yes, Blingo is US only.

I just won yet another iTunes gift certificate a few days ago.

Shame its just US but congrats on your win :tu:

 

[dgridley]

Congrats.. iTunes wouldn't interest me, but the movie passes do.

Pity it's only US residents.

I was wondering - how do they make a profit if they're giving away so much?

 

[deleted984054565403]

Yes, between the ads and the search itself, investors, plus its sponsorship from Publishers Clearinghouse, they've got a great, profitable website.

Do they accept PO Boxes? :p Else I'll get my associate's address in the US, sounds like a good site!

Even refreshing Blingo's homepage, I still show it available.. someone won a movie ticket 16 mins ago.

Since PCH came in, they've been giving about 2 or more $5000 prizes away per month.

Ooooooh, sexy. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for this so much! I am going to use this as my search from now on. It uses Google and looks quite nice.

 

[dgridley]

It's "powered by Google" but still doesn't support an Images feature and I think the reported results are different as well, but I still use it when I haven't already used Google on the toolbar.

For some reason, I only get a fraction of the results Google gets. I've been using Blingo as my primary search engine for over a year, but if I want accurate search results for domain buying/selling purposes, I still go to good old Google.

 

[dgridley]

Agreed.. I do the same.. only 10 of your searches count toward a prize anyway..

[texasgamer]

nice. I am going to start using this for my searches!

I use the blingo firefox search instead of my address bar when entering addresses. Takes a couple of extra seconds to get where I want, but since the results Blingo gives aren't as good as the actual google.com results, this gives me a way to still use it.

My neighbor REALLY wants that Mustang! (along with everybody else!) Me, I'd take the cash...

They just gave away another big prize: $2,500. That person won and also won it for their friend! Now on Blingo.com, they are giving away a new mustang or $20,000! Wow!
