SmartyPig

In our January Twitter contest, we asked about the new features that we are going to roll out in 2009, based on a blog post from 2009 and the tweeps had to name one. There were two possible answers: 

1. New mobile application (we accepted iPhone app) and
2. integration with sites like Mint, Geezeo, Wesabe, Rudder, Yodlee and more.

We went back to our tried and true method of picking winners – here\’s the video:

Congratulations to chewbocka, pkimp and BrettTrout, you have all won a $100 SmartyPig Gift card! Make sure to DM us your mailing address, so we can get your $100 in the mail. BrettTrout is earning his second SmartyPig gift card, as he also won the contest in July – he\’s a lucky guy!

Better luck next time to those that made it to the top 20 (out of 145 responses): adangross, abbieshipton, meatflag, SandiHockeyMom, denafurst, parterburn, seanwaters, afalker, AdamTReineke, abkadefgee, arthur, chadgramling, nukirk, stephadamo, SMMbutterfly, jezebelcapture, bourg_hetto.

Let the savings begin! SmartyPig will be giving away three $100 gift cards through our monthly Twitter contest – January 22 at 11am CST (we\’ve changed it up on you). We will tweet a question and give our followers 15 minutes to reply to us. The format:

1. After 15 minutes, we will be picking 20 random people with a number generator from the pool of correct answers.
2. We\’ll be bringing back a trusted method in selecting three gift card winners.
3. We\’ll post the process here on our blog, so everyone can follow along!

Make sure:

1. You\’re following us on Twitter.
2. We\’ll ask the $100 question on Thursday, January 22nd at 11am CST.
3. Answer the question correctly for your chance to win!

Remember: if you don\’t already have a SmartyPig account, it\’s free to set one up! Winner must be in the US.

Good Luck!

Whew! It\’s a long one, but we assure you that three people, have in fact, won $100 gift cards!
