Thread: UPDATED AGAIN- All info re: Bingo game is here

  1. Re: Let's talk about Bingo!

    Oh Kimmy, what a creative thought! I am not usually one for gift cards but I am working so hard not to have an excess of products I am not using in my craft room. A gift card would allow the winner to purchase something that they truly would look forward to using. The winner could decide a local shop if the like or a online store and either way a gift card could be purchased online...or a Visa/mastercard could be purchased for that matter. Anyways that is far easier and cheaper that mailing prizesto a coordinating person and then mailing them onto the winner.

    What do others think of a gift card?

    I think the gift card idea is great! Then the winner can splurge on something they really want. But I'm good with whatever everyone else wants to do.......

    I am good with either prize amount. I think we should mail them to the organizer. On the bottom of my signature is an "immortalization" of my winning numbers. Once I post this message I will count and edit!

    **Both games were 10 numbers.

    Thoughts?

    Joanie, like I said, for this first start up game I would like there to be some excitement over having a nice prize for the winner. For any subsequent games that we have, we don't need to have any prize or just one small item. If you are uncomfortable with sending a prize in you can certainly pass this time and play next time when you will have more opportunity to be online.

    Re: Let's talk about Bingo!

    While I do think the gift card idea is a good one, I am not personally really comfortable with people sending me money. A bunch of checks, while I am willing to cash them will be a hassle, I certainly don't want people sending cash- you just don't know these days and I am really not set up to accept Paypal although I guess I could figure it out. I did take PP when I sold some stamps once.

    If the majority of players want to do the gift card, I will bow to the will of the people. Again, part of my role as hostess is to be the prize collector and mailer.

    And yes, there were 10 numbers. I was considering cutting it down to 75, but will probably keep it at 100.

    Definitely don't want it to turn into a big hassle for you Kathy! Maybe easier if we all send a small prize and some stamps? Like I said, I'm good with however you choose to go about it. The fun is in participating in the daily checking of your numbers.

    Re: Let's talk about Bingo!

    I would never want to look a gift horse in the mouth so please don't think this is a complaint, just a thought to consider. I had won a GinaK gift certificate as a prize. I think it was for bingo. Anyway, I was thrilled and really love the stamp set I picked out. The bummer was that it cost me something like $15 for shipping and handling to get it. I am sure rates are better for US gals, but just a thought I had.

    Heather-I have experienced that too...yeah I do know takes away a big piece of a nice prize. So that is why I was suggesting a gift card to the winner's choice. It could be to a local business for you if a card could be purchased online or to an online store if you use one from time to time or a generic card like a Visa gift card that you could use at you local crafting store than is not online.

    I have won prizes where the host has done this for me and I have the gift card code in literally minutes from talking to the host.

    Truly I am fine with whatever works best for you Kathy.

    I'm in! I like the $3-5 prize idea, but I'll go along with whatever the group decides. If I remember right each player picks 10 numbers out of 100 and 5 numbers were called each day.
