Today's giveaway is a new Camry + 5K to help with the taxes...I hope that you all joined. I would love nothing more than to know it went to a long time member but you have to enter!

But it is a nice bonus for the professional contest enterers who just go around the internets joining contests.

It's sad that it seems to have become all about the numbers. The loyal long-term members are pretty much here to stay so there is no need to do anything to benefit them.
Not to mention the loyal long-term members have likely referred most of their friends and family to sd already.

It's not my call...there is a thread in the SIS forum for your opinions on the matter.
This thread?

By the way, I updated my referral. I hope those 10 bonus entries help them.

Under My Account click on Setting & Options, then click on Edit Profile and you can add the name of the person who referred you to SD.

I've never used referrals, not even when I was doing C&S for a while. No one I recommended SD to even knows my user name, other than DH of course. I want to be able to 'talk' freely in the lounge without someone IRL knowing what I said. I recommend things based on what I like, not to get points for anything. Life's too short to mess with that BS. So I find it a little irritating that SD feels the need to reward people who do referrals when I recommended SD to friends it was because I felt SD was a great site for deals. Sadwalk

I agree 100% with that statement - I too recommended people to the site for the same reasons - and I value my privacy - I certainly don't use my real name here - and don't give people I recommend my real SN here either. So for long-time users here - we loose out on this deal - because we value our privacy - and we have referred so many people in the past as it is.

Maybe we should be rewarded by post(s) and/or rep points - now that's an interesting idea Scratchchin

Yes, thank you! It was hard to find. I agree with ace, I thought it expired.

Would you mind adding a 40' or 45' Boat to this give-a-way - we sure would like to have a larger boat Pray something slightly larger - and oh make sure it has a bow thruster in it - that would definitely be a plus in my book Thumbsup Oh, and include one year's worth of free gas Woot Woot Woot
Secret You forgot to ask for the trailer and new truck large enough to pull the boat and trailer. LMAO

A boat that size does not get trailer-ed Nono2 and a new truck would not be needed in this case Nono2 For this size boat, it would be pulled from the Marina via their lift system and stored at a boat yard nod and a custom made cover made for it Whee Oh, they should include the custom made winter cover as well, I can tell them where that should be done as well - I know the perfect place to have that done - they have all the layouts for the covers for just about any boat out there to make a custom winter cover nod The beam size would be well over the size allowable on the roadways, therefore not allowed to be on a trailer Teehee
