Community Updates

A few things have happened over the past month. I mentioned in the last monthly update that we awarded a record number of members in a daily contest. Since then we broke that record and it now stands at 10 awards. The particular contest day falls on November 29, which is the contest immediately following this year’s Cyber Monday!

Another important update is related to the influx of new members our community has seen this past month. All newcomers will now have to prove that they have the skill to distinguish a bad deal from a good one before they can fully participate in the contests. More details about this change can be found in this discussion topic.

One more change was introduced just yesterday and has to do with the number of deal votes members can make daily. The limit we added however is fairly high and should not have any practical implication for most of the members. I updated the wiki to mention it, but some of you already noticed the change and are discussing it.

Kindle Fire Giveaway

Our last giveaway was a blast! 170 of you have participated and one lucky winner will have their Kindle Fire tablet from Amazon in mail later this week. We have prepared another giveaway for you guys, this time with a little twist. To participate, you need to come up with an acronym for BUXR. Here is an example:

• Best
• User submitted
• Xtremely
• Reliable deals!

To enroll, please post your entry as a comment to this discussion. We will select the most creative acronym and announce the winner next Tuesday. Kudos to DebsFreebies who came up with the idea for this giveaway. Do you have an interesting idea of your own for our next giveaway? Please let us know!

Friends Contest Update

We don’t have a friends contest winner this month. Remember, you only need to refer 5 friends to qualify for the prize and we award up to 3 members each month! Help Buxr grow, tell your friends about our little community and win $50 next month. Click here to find more about how this contest works and how you can refer your friends to Buxr.
