How do you spend your Oodles?

[DialgaChampion]

Just thought it'd be fun to ask everyone how they spend their Oodles, or how they plan on spending them, if you haven't done so already.

Do you redeem them for Auctions, Donations, Play to Win Tournaments, Sweepstakes, or simple "Buy It Now" prizes?

other than the gift card promos, there hasn't been anything interesting to me lately 'cause i don't go for sweepstakes etc. that i know the odds are with the house. and my kitties already have enough cat beds.

so i keep getting more cat beds for local animal sanctuaries. not just for their kitties but for their bunnies, and for baby chicks who need to be warm since the beds are thermal (and some parts of hawaii are quite chilly.) they are great for orphaned kittens too. this way i just accumulate at whatever pace feels good for my health and when i have enough for a bed i cash in. thanks, gsn, from teaming up with me for the animals here who need comfort

also i was wondering if i got another entertainment weekly subscription, would it add on to my existing one, i.e. pick up when that one runs out? i remember someone mentioning that once. otherwise it's hard to figure when to buy it because that's the prize that can take 10-12 weeks. i wrote to help but haven't heard back yet tho it hasn't been long. anyway, that's something for me i enjoy that i could see re-ordering if it works that way.

I have entered a couple of the contest but mainly I have just snagged some gift cards.

Nothing since June 2009..so frustrating.....


When the tv was a regular prize, someone got to it before me, then they quadrupled the price and it wasn't around anymore when I had enough....

Now that they have auctions, maybe I stand a chance to get a big prize, but I went all in on the tv auctions, $500 Walmart card & Ipad only to get outbid.....

Someone has over a million oodles and I know of at least 2 others that have close to or over 700,000...I have 577,000..I just want to get a nice bigger prize and fade away...but its always out of reach..sigh.........

hi have you, or anybody out there, found any gift cards as "buy it now" since the holiday promos? just wondering if they are still worth searching for a few times a day, are there lucky ones to snag once in a while? thanks.

Mostly gift cards. Those have been a great way to get a really good start to my TV on DVD collection.

Have also gotten a WoF board game and a Millionaire DVD game.

I haven't seen any buy it now gift cards since the holidays, mrs kittens. I have looked daily for them.
Hope you are doing well. Think about ya often.

thanks for the answer, and most of all for your kind concern

it's been rough, but i figure if i extend my magazine subscription it's one more reason i have to stick around! (hey, gotta have a sense of humor when i can.)

and i hope you're doing okay

Yeah, I should clarify, the gift cards I get are the "buy it now" ones too. Wish there were more of them on a regular basis.

ooh ooh so have you found some since the big promos? that would be encouraging to hear, though i don't expect it. just don't want to keep being the mouse looking for the cheese when there is none lol.

I've spent the majority (96%) of my Oodles on electronics: the Sony Blu-Ray player and the Sony Bloggie. Eerily enough, both have become Auctions or Play-to-Win, so those worked out in my favor in avoiding drama, lol. I would estimate 3% goes toward Double Trouble games, and 1% goes toward sweepstakes entries.

[mrskittens]

oh, i wasn't thinking...i've spent lots of my oodles on electronics too -- two of those sony digital photo frames, sony wireless headphones, sony (theme here?) ear buds, and also two magazine subscriptions, four gift cards, a bottle of syrup -- but yeah there were five kitty beds and probably another down the road. i sure would love to add on to my magazine script tho.

Nothing since the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale. I just mean overall.

Well, let's see. I started off with books. Twice I got the book of the week. Then I saved up and got the digital bathroom scales - I love those ! I used everything I had then and had to hurry to have some for the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales, but I did manage to get 3 $10 Starbucks cards then. Now I'm just waiting for something good to come along. I did enter the 5 hr gc drawing today, tho. Wish me luck !
