Default The Wise Bread contest winners

I see a lot of people have won Wise Bread contests.

Can you give us not-yet winners the low down on how quickly you received your prizes and what the Amazon gift certificates are good for?

hey girl!

I was out on vacation when I won, but Will sent me an email, telling me that I had won, I emailed him back and he emailed me the certificate! Presto! I think the gift certificates are good for anything on the Amazon site. I just entered the code before I checked out.

Good luck, I will keep my fingers crossed for you

The funniest moment is when I say:

"You've won a $20 electronic Amazon gift certificate"

and people think

"Oh, so the certificate is only good for electronics?"



Bad phrasing on my part I guess. It just means the certificate comes through your email. Like Kav said, you can use it on anything at Amazon.

Hi Kav, I've missed your posts! I hope you bought something completely un-mommy related with your gift certificate.

Thank you for the answers guys.

I'm super psyched to have won an Amazon GC (and already gotten it - Will, you are amazing!) - problem is now I have no idea what to spend it on. Paralyzed by too many choices, I guess

I received the gift certificate a day or 2 later. I forget hehe. But remember it not being a long wait.

Still haven't spent it yet . Trying to decide if I should buy a DVD box set of something I normally wouldn't get. Or buy something I have been thinking about buying for a while... decisions decisions.

Congratulations. Amazon sometimes surprises me with a great deal in their Gold Box. If you're looking for ideas, they may have some recommendations that suit you, since they know what you've bought from them before.
