Readers vote: Trader Joe’s gift card is tops! Email subscriber drive launches today!

trader-joes-paper-bag-logoMore than 300 readers voted in my poll about which gift card they wanted to win in my email subscriber drive. The top choice – Trader Joe’s – squeezed out a win by three votes! Thank you for participating.

UPDATE: Target is now tied for the No. 1 spot. Because both TJ’s and Target were so popular and because some readers may not have a TJ’s near them, the winners will get to chose if they want a gift card to TJ’s or Target. I think this is the fairest way of handling the situation.

Here is how the subscriber drive works:

1. The drive begins today, May 26, 2009 and ends June 9, 2009.

2. One existing reader who already receives my weekday OR weekly emails will win a $25 gift card to Trader Joe’s. If you already receive my emails, you are automatically entered to win. You do not need to do anything to be eligible. You do not need to email me to double check.

3. One new reader who signs up between May 26 and June 9 to receive my free emails will receive a $25 gift card to Trader Joe’s.

4. Winners will be chosen at random on June 10. I will email those readers to make sure the email address is valid. Readers will have 48 hours to respond. If readers do not respond, alternates will be notified.

5. Winners will be announced on the blog. Gift cards will be mailed to the winners.

    I shared with my various social sites. Great contest, thanks for offering it! TJ’s & Target are great for the family.

      Well I could tell you that reading BargainBabe.com helps, but in truth it’s a random selection. But reading and commenting a lot will certainly help your karma!

    Will you elaborate on what you mean by “random selection”? How is a person selected who already subscribes? It may already be a done deal; I am so far behind in my e-mail. If so, I guess I’m not a winner, except for benefiting from all the good advice on your site!!! [kiss, kiss, kiss]

      Hi Diane, by random selection I mean Hubby writes a computer program to randomly select readers. As each person subscribes, they are given a number (as in first subscriber, second subscriber, third subscriber…) I give Hubby the range of subscriber numbers by looking at the dates the contest ends and begins. So all the readers who subscribe before the contest starts go into one pool. The subscribers who join during the contest go into another pool.

      If you do not respond to the winner notification email (beyond the 48 hours I allot), then yes, you don’t win. If you read Bargainbabe.com regularly you’ll know when the contest ends so you can pay special attention to your email those days. Hope that helps.
