There are couple of ways,
you can PM "your friends" at this site with your URL.
You can also post your URL at sites that allow such thing. For example, faxwaxxet.

I got to 50 last night just by retweeting a lot of people on Twitter. Some of them did the same for me and eventually I made it.

Well, no email from Lowe's with the gift card info but hopefully I did everything right. If I can do it anyone can! Just keep retweeting everyone on Twitter that uses the #plantatweet hash tag and some of them will return the favor. Also make sure to check into Foursquare every day to earn a point.

I completed this on 5/5/12 (and took a screen-shot so it would capture my points, completion notice, and the amount of gift cards remaining on the ticker in the background) and never received an email for the e-gift card 7 days later like the completion email had promised (you'll receive an email immediately after completing).

After posting on Lowe's Facebook page on their main wall that I had yet to receive any additional emails after 7 days, they said they would look into the matter if I provided my Twitter handle. I did, and less than two business days later, I got my e-gift certificate!

I would suggest taking a screen-shot when you do complete your 50 points, and if you don't receive the gift card within 7 consecutive days (be patient and wait the full week), then post something pleasant asking that they look into the matter on their Facebook wall, and include your Twitter handle. The people running their Facebook site seem to be very nice, and I expect they'll take care of it fairly quickly. Good luck! Smilie
