I joined this contest online just a couple of days ago and I was surprised when I checked my email today that I won! I feel so lucky. I never thought that out of the many people who really wanted to win I was the lucky one. Another good thing is that it's just in time for my boyfriend's birthday. I was planning to surprise him with an island getaway now I don't have to spend for the place since I already won. How about you, have you won something in your life that made you so happy? I would love to hear your story.

Wow! Congrats! What I've won online is $100 from Paypal's wishlist last year. It was only for Asian accounts and I was really happy!

It was only offered to Asian Paypal users at the end of 2009, it ended last December and they started paying users last January until March I think. Actually it was an app in facebook that encouraged users to visit the app and the users earn from each signup. It was $1 each signup. Other users even made multiple accounts and made big from it.

$100 is good money! Good for you! Is that something that happens every year? I would love to join that contest!

Wow! That's so cool! I have never won on any contest like that in my life (except those that are academic related). Sometimes I get so skeptical in joining such contests, especially those that are online, thinking that those are not true.

At first I was also skeptical but since it's a free contest and I don't have to loose anything I gave it a try and I was really surprised that I actually won.

It is an honest contest, so you have nothing to lose. I belong to their rewards program, already, so I entered, too. Thanks for sharing this with us.

That is so awesome!! Congrats to you! :-) I've never won a trip or anything like that, but I've won different contests where I've signed up to receive full size products, online. I am a freebie fanatic, so often when I come across freebies there are always sign ups to win something bigger than just that free sample! I hope you enjoy your trip - you definitely deserve it!! :-)

In this difficult times who doesn't love freebies? I would like to join more contests and get as many freebies as I can Some people may think that I am being a cheapskate but it doesn't matter as long as I get to enjoy life without having to spend that mush. I will definitely enjoy this trip and I hope you also get to have more of those free samples

Congratulations Caliya! I am happy for you! That is truly awesome! i have never won anything like it, be it online or otherwise. I am very skeptical about such online contest and although sometimes i join, i usually do it for the fun of it,never really expecting to win anything. I hope you will enjoy your getaway! hope u will post your experience of your travel/stay in that resort. Have a nice time!
