What, you may ask?
I broke down and redeemed 90,000 Oodles for the Keurig Coffee Maker. I have finally resolved myself to the fact they are not going to bring back the Amazon or AMEX gift cards (they've been gone for months).
I know that now, since I redeemed some Oodles, they will probably make those gift cards available again just to spite me. It's a conspiracy I tell ya!!
I'll let you know when they release me from the padded room. :-)
We now return to reality, already in progress.

Congratulations on redeeming your oodles for the coffee maker!!! I was so tempted (not to mention frustrated as well) to redeem the coffee maker until someone told me you need to buy the type of coffee grounds that come in special cup or something. Meaning you cannot make coffee using coffee grounds easily purchased from grocery store. Is that true?
ReplyDeleteThis is probably a stupid question but are you required to pay for shipping?
Well, Cong!
ReplyDeleteIn the past three weeks, I ordered two Walmart and 1 Sorphia 25$ gift card. Never seen any amazon or AMEX cards.
Congratulations! Love your blog.
ReplyDeleteHello everyone!
ReplyDeleteIt is true that you cannot brew coffee from coffee grounds (like Folgers). The Keurig uses pre-measured cups for coffee, tea and hot chocolate. The cups aren't very expensive. They come in assortment boxes. I've seen them at Bed, Bath & Beyond, Kohl's and even Office Depot. It seems they are always on sale. I usually see them for $10 or less (and you get quite a few cups per box. I tried my mom's. It makes it quick and easy. As far as I know, you do not have to pay for shipping on any of the prizes.
Congratulations on being able to snag the Walmart cards. Those seem to go in seconds. The Amazon and AMEX are really popular (I see people complaining on GSN's forum about them all the time). Unfortunately, you only see vague answers from GSN about prize availability.
Thanks for all your kind comments.
Keep on Oodling!
There is an attachment you can purchase for about $15.00 that will allow you to use regular coffee grounds. We have had our Keurig for about 2 years and love it can't wait to get to 90000 oodles so we can get a second one. We get our K-cup from Green Mountain Coffee dot com, they have a good price, better then I could find locally. You will love your Keurig fresh coffee all day long. Thanks so much for your blog, it sure saves time when doing the daily trivia. Thanks again and keep up the good work it is very much appreiciated. I had to post this as anonymous as it wouldn't let me use my gsnID Taterpapa1
ReplyDeleteI share your frustration Rowdydog and after almost seven months of Oodling I did redeem a McDonald's gift card about a week ago now that the 46" HDTV is gone. Seems like they eliminated all the big ticket gift cards and I also haven't been able to get the Walmart cards when they're available. So maybe I'll wind up with a Keurig too even though I'm not a big coffee fiend.
ReplyDeleteWow! I didn't know the Keurig was so popular.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to know about the attachment that lets you use regular coffee. I stand corrected. :-)
Thanks for letting me know about Green Mountain Coffee. I'll check them out.
The sad thing about it is in 5 days I could get another one and have Oodles left over.
It was inevitable that someone would get the original 46" HDTV. If I didn't already have 2 in the house I may have gone after it myself. I do think that 425,000 is a bit steep for a TV that is only 6" bigger. There's not that big a price jump in the stores.
I will probably keep collecting Oodles and let my balance grow some more in the hopes they will bring back the gift cards or something I can really use.
Thanks for all the info and I'm glad my blog helps.
Have a great weekend!
Ive already redeemed for the sony webbie camera and Im holding out for a good home depot card or something similar. There are those darn idiots that use the cheat codes and bots that tell them when prizes are replenished and snap them all up the second they are there. It is frustrating. The moderators in gsn forum got so fed up with people complaining about it now forbids people posting about it ha ha. even after redeeming for the camera, i still have around 60k oodles. Maybe I can get lucky and catch the gift cards when they are back
ReplyDeleteGood Luck!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had one of those "bots". Maybe I might have a chance of getting one of the gift cards. :-)
that must be what they are using to cheat on continual high scores on games such as catch 21... it gets old seeing the same players over and over with top scores. you know they are cheating somehow.
