Yes it’s true! We are now giving away money through our GiftGrabber! We don’t know of any other company that has ever done something like this before so this may be a bit baffling and you may even be a little skeptical, so we hope to answer all of your questions concerning “how” and “why” we are doing this.
(You can Play GiftGrabber now, or click the “Play GiftGrabber and Win $$$!” link on the top right of every page in our store.)
We have one central “pot” of money that anyone can claim, at any time. Every couple of minutes this pot grows by $0.01. Anyone can claim this pot at any time and when it is claimed a few things happen:
- The pot will reset to $0.00 and show “JUST CLAIMED” and the “pot” counter will start all over again. This is true for the winner as well as everyone else who is watching the counter.
- An email will be sent to the first person who clicks “claim”. This email contains a unique promotional credit number. Please note: Becertain to double check your email address and type it correctly. The winning certificate will be sent to the exact email address that you type in the claim box provided. Also, the email containing the
certificate number and expiration date will be sent from no-reply@petkaboodle.com, so it is important that your email account does not block email from this address. To be sure, you may want to add it to
your contacts.
- The winner can now use their claimed amount towards any purchase before it expires (24 hours from the exact date and time that it was claimed).
How to use your Promotional Credit after winning:
- Once you have received the winning email, and if you already have a PetKaboodle.com account, click the link to log in and activate your credits. If you did not have an account prior to clicking claim, one has been created for you using the email address you entered. All you need to do is click the verify link in your winning email and change your password to your preference. You must be logged in to your account use your credits.
- Once you have all of your items in your cart and are ready to check out, simply choose “proceed to checkout” from the cart screen.
- *Very Important* On
the “select payment” screen, the “Store
Credit/Gift Card/Gift Grabber Credit” check box should automatically
be checked. If for some reason, it is not checked, be sure to check
this box if you want to use your credits. This checkbox is what applies your account credits to the
order. If this box is unchecked, your account credits will
not be used on the order and will not be deducted from
the total. They will remain on your account until they
expire. (GiftGrabber Credits expire exactly 24 hours from the
time they were claimed). Credits can not be applied
after checkout is complete, so be certain that this box is checked and
your grand total is correct before clicking pay.
GiftGrabber promotional credits expire exactly 1day (24 hours) from the date and time that the winning claim was made. Once your winning credit is
expired, the credit number becomes invalid and any amount of credit applied to your account that was not used will be removed from your balance.
Your email is always kept private and NEVER shared. Your privacy is our top priority and we will NEVER sell, rent, or share your email address with anyone. You will NOT be subscribed to any form of
mailing list by playing our GiftGrabber game. Your email is solely used to send your promotional credit and to create a shopping account to use your credit after winning a claim.
Why are we doing this?
It’s quite simply really. We’d rather give our advertising money to you! Now, if we gave all of it to one person we’d have one REALLY happy customer. But that wouldn’t be fair to everyone else. On the
other hand, if we lowered our prices by the amount we’re giving away, each product would only be lowered by a fraction of a cent! That wouldn’t help anyone at all! So what we decided to do was allow you
to decide how much of a discount works for you! For example, maybe you want to claim the GiftGrabber and use it to offset your shipping costs,
or tax. Maybe another website sells something for a little cheaper but you’d rather buy from us, whom you know and trust. The GiftGrabber
could make up the difference allowing you to buy it from us for the price you want!
There are no strings attached and no “catch”. Just simple advertising. Our hope is that our GiftGrabber catches on in a big way allowing us
to reach many customers and to eventually give away, not pennies every couple minutes, but dollars every second!
Now go give our GiftGrabber a try, and if you find it helpful, or even just interesting, please tell us. And by all means, please tell your friends!
