Follow the Rules

This past year at school, our faculty members had fun determining our personality types according to the Gary Smalley styles. Being the beaver that I am, I have a natural tendency to want to follow the rules. Even if you do not have that natural tendency, you will not be a successful sweeper if you do not pay attention to the rules. You will need to read the fine print to determine whether you are eligible to enter, how often you may enter, and whether you even want to enter. Sometimes reading the rules reveals stipulations that you could not or would not desire to meet, or that the prize is not what it seemed to be. Most sweepstakes have pretty much the same wording, which makes them easy to glance over, but sometimes unusual wordings will seem to pop off the page. Most of the time there will be a place on the entry forms to confirm that you have read the rules, or if not, there will usually be a statement that by entering you are agreeing with the rules. In keeping with this tip of the day, I have a sweepstakes for you that makes it REALLY good if you read the rules.

I have been collecting points from the caps and cartons of Coca Cola products for a long time. I have used them to redeem for magazine subscriptions and photo albums, but most of the time I use them to enter sweepstakes sponsored by Coke. Right now I'm saving most of my points for the next time they have a Disney cruise sweepstakes, but here's one that I would love to win. To enter to win a set of 4 tickets to any Six Flags park worth $160, you would normally need to spend 6 points (2 bottle caps) per entry up to 5 times a day. If you are being a good little sweeper and reading the rules (click the link for the full rules), you will see how to enter for this prize without spending any points! It almost makes me feel sorry for people who are needlessly spending their points, but the beaver in me decides that they deserve it for not reading the rules. Happy Sweeping!
