On December 3, 2008 I announced that Sierra Trading Post was sponsoring a chance to win one of five $50 gift cards. Sierra Trading Post mailed those gift cards out before Christmas but I didn’t announce the winners on this blog.

So, with that thought in mind, I’m pleased to announce the following winners of our $50 Sierra Trading Post Gift Card prize challenge:

• Diane Legge (Sanford, FL)
• Deborah Vink (Henderson, NY)
• Shedrick Lee (Lansing, MI)
• Patricia Englehart (Seabrook, NH)
• Joyce Kwartler (Chester, NY)

Congratulations to each of these winners. They were randomly selected from among those who answered all quiz questions correctly.

Again, I thank Sierra Trading Post for their sponsorship of this prize challenge. I invite you to use our exclusive listing of Sierra Trading Post coupon codes to save even more next time you shop with them.

A couple weeks ago I announced our Wenger Swiss Army Turin Collection 3-Piece Spinner Luggage Set prize challenge. Today I have the privilege of announcing the winner.

The winner was selected using an online randomizer tool. Here’s how this process works. Each quiz entry is given a unique number and this randomizer tool selects a random number out of this pool of sequential numbers. We then look up who matches that number to find our winner.

For this prize challenge, which was sponsored by LuggagePoint.com, I am pleased to report that our winner is Steven Beckham of Cedar Bluff, Mississippi. Steven sent me a photo and wrote the following in response to my email notifying him that he won. I share it below with his permission.

This is great!  I love to travel but until now I’ve never had any good baggage to carry my stuff in.  This will make traveling so much easier!  Thanks Shopping Bargains!

Steven also told me that for his last flight he had to borrow a bag from his roommate so this set comes at a great time.

Again, I thank LuggagePoint.com for sponsoring this giveaway and I extend thanks to all who participated in this prize challenge. Don’t forget to enter our latest one where you could win one of five $50 Sierra Trading Post gift cards.

I have the privilege of announcing our latest prize challenge. It’s sponsored by Sierra Trading Post and is exclusively available for U.S. shoppers at Shopping-Bargains.com. For this prize challenge, five (5) people will be the proud recipients of a $50 Sierra Trading Post gift card.

We are thankful for Sierra Trading Post’s sponsorship by providing $250 in gift cards for this drawing. We are also pleased they have been listed with us since 2004 and are a popular destination for our shoppers. As a regular Sierra Trading Post shopper myself, I strongly recommend them for brand name clothing, home decor, outdoor recreation, camping gear and much more. I’m sure you will be impressed with their discounted prices and their website’s ease of use. Don’t forget to grab one of our Sierra Trading Post coupon codes when you go and save even more on top of their already great prices.

Okay, back to this prize challenge. How do you enter? Just fill out our prize challenge form and you’re entered. We’ll randomly select five (5) winners in about a week. Have fun!

Oh, one more thing. Sierra Trading Post has a lot of great products for Christmas — binoculars, gloves, camping gear, clothing and so much more.

For our special Thanksgiving prize challenge you will have a chance to win a Wenger Swiss Army Turin Collection 3-Piece Spinner Set from LuggagePoint.com. This fine luggage set retails for $650 but sells for $269.95 at LuggagePoint after their special 10% discount. LuggagePoint also ships it for free as an extra bonus! I wish I could enter this prize challenge but I’m disqualified as a member of the Shopping-Bargains.com team.

Here are some details taken from LuggagePoint.com — the luggage set includes the following product features:

• 28″ Spinner
• 24″ Spinner
• 20″ Pilot Case (this piece is not a spinner, just a 2-wheeler)
• Made of Durable 1680D Nylon Material that resists scuffing and tearing
• Three zippered accessory pockets on front panel of all three pullmans
• Fully lined interior features zippered suiter pocket
• Removable wetpack provides storage for wet clothing or toiletry items
• Interior adjustable tie-down compression straps
• Pilotcase features zippered pocket with padded computer sleeve, accommodates most 15″ laptops
• Telescopic locking handle system with lightweight aluminum tubing
• Bottom bumper grip assists in lifting suitcase
• 360 Degree Spinning wheels on 28″ & 24″ Spinning Pullman
• 2.5″ Expansion for extra packing space
• PVC corner protection
• ID Tag sewn to rear panel of bags
• Riveted side & top carry handles
• Heavy Duty die-cast zipper pulls

So how could you win this Wenger Swiss Army Turin Collection 3-Piece Spinner Set? Just take our prize challenge and you’re automatically entered. You answer only four simple multiple-choice questions about LuggagePoint and this spinner set and then submit your name and email address on our convenient prize challenge form and you’re done. Sounds easy, doesn’t it?

We don’t sell or share your personal entry info and only pass on the winner’s name, email and shipping info to the prize sponsor so they can ship the luggage set to them. One more thing: If you win we will contact you via email first to request your shipping address — you don’t even have to submit that now!

Before I close I want to also share a few great things about LuggagePoint, our prize sponsor. LuggagePoint.com carries more than 200 brands of luggage, backpacks, mssenger bags, handbags, wallets, sports gear, laptop cases, business cases, travel accessories and more. The have a 110% price match guarantee and free continental U.S. shipping for orders over $99. They have a great online marketing team and have been a joy to work with for this prize challenge. Please consider LuggagePoint for your next luggage or related purchase (don’t forget to use our LuggagePoint coupon codes to save even more).

One final thought: Be sure to visit LuggagePoint before you submit your prize challenge quiz. While everyone finishing the prize challenge is entered into the drawing, it helps to answer the questions correctly. We don’t make the quiz difficult but we do want you to get to know our prize sponsor so please check out LuggagePoint.com and products.
