The answer is Overstock.com with a 6% boost! You can read about our new retail partner on our blog.

Three lucky Twitterers won $100 today - one of whom has made it into the top 20 in almost every contest and finally won today!

Twitter Contest Rescheduled

Well - we tried to hold our contest - but guess what - Twitter went down! Instead of seeing the dreaded 'fail whale', this time, we were all treated to a pop up to log into their staging server. Nice one.

We will reschedule the Twitter contest for the same time, same place next week - Thursday, October 2nd.

We did, however, happen to get our September question out there, so we won't reuse that one - that would be too easy! Sorry for the inconvenience, but hopefully this gives everyone enough time to brush up on their SmartyPig trivia and win big next Thursday.

Contest will be

  • Thursday, October 2nd at 3pm CST.

August Twitter Contest Winners

Well, at the last minute we decided to do something just a bit differently than the last couple of contests. Today - instead of throwing darts to pick the names, we decided to put the 20 names that were picked randomly from a number generator (from many, many reponses!) on Ingrid's arm and had Emma ride through on her bike to pick the winners! It was a blast!

Watch the video:

Congratulatons to our three winners, MatthewDP, Kathy_L and jensir!

Also, congratulations to the 20 who made it onto the post it notes, better luck next month: frojive, nickcooper, theGlenn, bakedlaurabean, salmndr007, webboy, spacecostsmoney, JessicaV1223, amywright, dalenz, HighSociety, michpendergrass, soZealous, daniAWESOME, ChicShoppaChick, cgarrety, mikehernalsteen.
