In case you missed it, this month we announced our exciting new Refer a Friend contest. Just refer your friends to the Buxr community, and you could win fabulous cash prizes!
Our deal contests need more participants to judge on the value of deals you guys are submitting and by inviting new friends you help us make these contests more meaningful.
As of today, we are almost half way through the contest with no qualified referrals. This is bad news for us, but good news for you because winning a Buxr contest has never been so easy. Just referring a few friends might be enough for you to win this month’s $150 first prize!
We’ve made referring friends easy with many options such as ‘Share a Deal’ email, the Buxr badge, a text link, or our cool widget. Click here to see more details about our contest, and find out how you can participate and win!

They say good friends are priceless, at Buxr we think “Good Friends” are worth up to $150 a month! 
We are pleased to announce our latest contest: Refer a Friend. Just refer your friends to the Buxr community, and you could win fabulous cash prizes! By inviting new friends you help spread the word about Buxr, and make the contest results more meaningful.
Participation is easy, simply email your friends with a referral link, and you’ll get contest credit when they become eligible members. Beware, by friends we don’t mean your brother in the next room, or your live-in girlfriend. No friends in the same household please. If you have a website or blog, you have more options to refer members - the Buxr Badge, a text link or our cool widget.
The person with the most “Good Friends” (eligible referrals) at the end of the month will win the grand prize. Since we like to spread the wealth at Buxr, we will also be awarding prizes to the second and third runner up! See the contest rules for more details on how our new contest works and what your friends need to do to become your “Good Friends”.
With the Refer a Friend contest, the Best Daily Deal contest and the Monthly Deal contest we are giving our members more ways to win than any other deal site in the land!
So please help support Buxr community, and refer a friend!

Our July contest has just wrapped up and the winner is… we have a tie! TheBest and orangearrows each have 139 points and will receive $125 in cash as the monthly prize. This is the sum of our #1 and #2 prizes divided equally. Congratulations to the winners!
coree511 and niteprey2 were closely behind in the contest. Did we mention niteprey2? That is right. We have good news for niteprey2. Since the scores have been so close to each other we thought it would be fair to extend the third prize ($50) to #4, so this month coree511 and niteprey2 will each receive $50!
June was a great month (we hope you all read the guest blog post from our last month winner) and July was yet another fantastic month. We enter the month of August with our daily and monthly contests. Please go to the contest page for the current month to vote on the prizes.
The contest rules in August stay the same with just two changes:
- We will be reducing the daily prize for freebies from $10 to $5. Our long term goal with Buxr is to turn it into a shopping site for budget minded people and this is the direction we want our contests to go. Freebies will still receive +5 points towards the monthly prize, but as we stated earlier the daily prize for freebies is now $5. We consider anything that does not potentially involve an online product purchase a freebie. For example a free product sample is freebie but a printable coupon that comes with an online discount code is not. I am sure you will have more questions about this change. You are welcome to leave them in the comments and we will try to answer them the best way we can.
- We are reducing the penalty for the worst deal from -5 points to -1 point. You will still earn +1 point for a negative vote on the worst deal.
We have prepared one more exciting announcement for you. We will be launching one more contest this month where you are rewarded for inviting friends to Buxr. This contest is very important not only because it helps build the bargain hunting community at Buxr, but also because the more active members we have at Buxr - the greater variety of opinions we will have and the more meaningful deal votes will become in determining the hottest deals. We will have the announcement and more details about the contest shortly on this blog.
Again, thanks everyone for supporting our site, we look forward to another exciting month!

Well, my name is Samantha but most of you probably know me as Puhsyxpink. I am a 23 year old mother of 2, who searches, posts and submits freebies and deals online. Not too long ago I registered with a deal sharing site, Buxr.com and won their monthly prize!
As I said I normally look for deals, but Buxr.com gives you great incentive in sharing your findings with others. It’s competitive and other users let you know if there are any flaws in your submissions. They are honest and actually check it out to make sure it is correct and works as described. If visitors are just browsing the site, they aren’t being misled. I think Buxr.com is an awesome site for those looking to save money. No, I don’t think Buxr.com is an awesome site, I know Buxr.com is an awesome site! The admins are active and friendly. They respond to your concerns and questions promptly. They take your ideas and advice into consideration, and fix things as needed. The other users, post amazing deals and are also considerate and respectful to others. Buxr.com is a community, everyone is involved together.
I received my monthly winnings, a check for $300, in the mail. After cashing it I debated on what to do with it. Save it, spend it… and if I spent it, what would I use it on. After a ton of back and forth decision changing, I decided to spend it. Why not? I did spend time during each day and earn it. I spent it on bills, diapers and a night out on the town. My daughter was born in May, so I hadn’t really had a chance to go out and have a good time. I may be a mother, but let’s not forget I am 23 years old. I went out with a couple friends and had a great time at this local club called The Mix One 6. It was definitely long overdue!
And lastly, I want to say THANK YOU, to everyone who thought I submitted good deals and voted positively. At times it was a struggle with competing with others to post good findings. It was stressful at times, but it was all worth it when you belong to something that rewards you with use of a site that can save you money, prizes for participating and meeting some great people!

The results are in…. with 93 total points… the winner for June is Puhsyxpink!
Congratulations to Puhsyxpink the grand prize winner, who wins $300 in cold hard cash! Umesh was the next runner-up with 86 points, followed closely by Niteprey2, and Coree511! You can see the complete contest results on last month’s contest page.
We had a fantastic month, with great submissions from our entire community. July should be even more competitive as the stakes get bigger, and the community grows larger. Please go to the contest page for the current month to vote on the new prizes.
We really appreciate all the feedback you have given us throughout the month. In fact we are already implementing some of the suggestions we received. Starting next month you will owe us $10 for each worst submitted daily deal. Just kidding. 
Again, we want to thank everyone for supporting our site, we look forward to another exciting month.
