ChristianPF is turning 3 years old!
It has been an amazing 3 years since we launched CPF.
Over the last few years we have had over 3 million unique visitors, posted over 1000 articles, made some great friends, and have a fantastic group of readers who made it all possible.
Linda and I are truly thankful and want you join in celebrating with us!
We are celebrating by giving away an Apple iPad! And five $20 Amazon.com
How The Giveaway Works
Basically there are 6 ways to enter the giveaway. Some are simple and can be completed in a few seconds and others require a bit more energy.
The more you do, the better your chances of winning! See all the ways to enter the giveaway below.
6 Ways To Enter The Giveaway
| Entry Method | Entries Awarded | Details and Instructions |
| Ebates Signup | 10 | Ebates is my favorite online money-saving tool (my review of Ebates). This requires a little more effort, so those who follow through will be rewarded with 10 entries.
|
| Link from your blog | 4 | Mention & link to this giveaway in a blog post. Then leave a comment below with the blog post URL. |
| 2 | Mention (and link to) this giveaway on Facebook. Then leave a comment below with your Facebook username and be sure to add me as a friend so I can notify you if you win! | |
| 2 | Mention this giveaway on Twitter (using @ChristianPF). Feel free to use this sample tweet…
And make sure you follow CPF so I can contact you if you win! |
|
| Google Buzz | 2 | Follow me on Google Buzz (click the big blue follow button). All followers will automatically be entered to win. |
| Forum Post | 1 | Go to the ChristianPF forums and leave a comment or start a new thread. |
Other notes about the giveaway
- Read and follow the instructions (above) for each entry completely.
- Entries will be accepted until midnight CST on June 17th.
- We will randomly select winners on June 18th using Random.org.
- You can do all 6 methods, but only one counts for each category. The maximum number of entries possible is 21.
- If I suspect that someone is trying to cheat or manipulate the giveaway, they will be automatically disqualified.
Why Ebates? I regularly use and highly recommend Ebates, but some might wonder why we are offering so many entries for Ebates signups. The reason is that they have a decent referral program and hopefully it will help offset a little bit of the cost of the iPad. Too bad Apple wouldn’t just donate a free one for the giveaway. 
Even if you don’t sign up for Ebates there are plenty of other ways to enter!
Thanks again and have fun!
The Giveaway has now ended – thanks for being part of it!
