12 Days of Speedy Delivery

12 days, all it took was 12 days for the folks over at Honey Nut Cheerios to pay out the five dollar reward I had won on my first day playing their Sweet Rewards Giveaway. Now, it may not seem like anything special and, quite honestly, it may be a fluke but a payout of a reward in less than 2 weeks is incredibly fast turn around for any sweeps. When I went out to check the mail today I was not expecting to find a check waiting for me but there it was:

Most contests, giveaways, sweepstakes etc tell you to expect your reward in anywhere from 4 weeks to as much as 18 weeks from the time it is rewarded to the time it actually shows up at your address. Months after moving out of my old place my roommates received a package for me (ended up being a CD I wasn't wild to have anyway so I told them to keep it) but I suppose it just goes to show you just never know. So thank you to the lovely people over at Honey Nut Cheerios, you already had my approval for making the best of all the Cheerios but your quick pay-out is much appreciated.

Didn't exactly win anything today but a check in the mail is always welcome and Microsoft's Club Bing updated their list of available prizes early this morning. I quickly turned over those hard earned tickets (28,600 of them) for a brand new Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W230 Camera, here's hoping the folks in their rewards distribution center are as efficient. If luck is with me I might be able to gather enough tickets up in time to order the Cuisinart Smart Stick Hand Blender they are offering as well (only 16,500 tickets).
