I got a $20 Borders card and I don't know why

Seems like a weird thing to post right? Well today I got a $20 dollar Borders card from Gather and I have no clue what it's for. I am expecting a $50 dollar Borders card but that one on my rewards page still says processing so I don't think that's it. I already got the one for inviting 5 people and I haven't won anything that I know of.

 It does say: Valuable Gather Member, Congratulations - you've earned it! Thanks for your participation in our promotion. Enjoy spending your reward, and make sure to look for eve nmore promotions in the weeks and months to come. See you again soon on gather.com

 

So was it because I uploaded videos during that promotion? Or...? lol Anyone get a surprise gift card that they don't know the reason why they're getting it?

 Whatever the reason....thank you Gather!

I was going to say for referring 5 friends, but if you're sure you got that one, then I don't have any idea.
Nothing Fancy Sep 15, 2007, 6:55pm EDT
You probably had 5 referrals sign up. It's a gather promotion.
Shannon W Sep 15, 2007, 6:55pm EDT
No, I got that one already. I only had 5 people sign up period. Still pondering....
Taylor ~hopes no one forgets her!~ Blue Sep 15, 2007, 6:56pm EDT
may be they are showing you their love...I hope that happens to me too... :)

Anyways congrats to you
Nothing Fancy Sep 15, 2007, 6:56pm EDT
Can you get it more than once?
flit . Sep 15, 2007, 6:56pm EDT
I think there were some for commenting on videos, also
Birdee F. Sep 15, 2007, 6:56pm EDT
bonus!
Nothing Fancy Sep 15, 2007, 6:56pm EDT
I am sorry - guitly I posted without reading. I will go hang my head in shame - sorry!
Shannon W Sep 15, 2007, 7:00pm EDT
I'm not sure if you can get it more then once. That'd be interesting to know. I invited 6 people and 5 signed up and I pretty much don't know anyone else to get to sign up lol
Melanie S. Sep 15, 2007, 7:01pm EDT
I wonder if you won for best comment on a video, or for posting a popular video, and just didn't realize it hehehe. Either way congrats on the surprise card!!

Are you sure that you didn't win one of the family photo promo thingies???
Lisa Frost Sep 15, 2007, 7:02pm EDT
cool for you, but I wouldn't argue..
Leigh V. Sep 15, 2007, 7:06pm EDT
Nice surprise, huh!!!
Marianne R. Sep 15, 2007, 7:10pm EDT
I sent out the referral thing, but only 4 have signed up. I need one more person who will definitely join before I get my $20 referral GC.
Mary M. Sep 15, 2007, 7:16pm EDT
Don't question a good thing! :)
Sue * Sep 15, 2007, 7:18pm EDT
Don't know-but, take the money and run!!
Brian .. Sep 15, 2007, 7:19pm EDT
hmmmm...
I would advise asking one of the
Gather guides to help you find out
what this one was sent for.

Weren't the first 100 members who published videos when the video publishing thing became available supposed to get a $20 gift card??? I'll bet that's it!!
Victoria H. Sep 15, 2007, 7:20pm EDT
Way to go Shannon! Whatever it's for! I hope I get one! I'm pretty sure I was one of the first 100 members to post videos too.
Shannon W Sep 15, 2007, 7:23pm EDT
Oh, did they get a $20 dollar card? I thought they only got 100 points! lol

Did you get one too then?
Shannon W Sep 15, 2007, 7:23pm EDT
Yeah, you posted videos before I did that day so if that's it, you should be getting one.
Kathy F. Sep 15, 2007, 7:34pm EDT
I just wish I knew how to find out how many points we need before we get a gift card. I'm kinda new and I can't seem to fing that information ANYWHER. It's not on my account page or profile page. CAN ANYONE HELP ME!!!????
Kelly M. Sep 15, 2007, 7:50pm EDT
Congrats on the winnings no matter what the reason!
donna h. Sep 15, 2007, 7:52pm EDT
lol... good for you. ...I never got my 50.00 gift card that was "sent" out in July!
☀ Aunt Shanny Sep 15, 2007, 8:01pm EDT
Hurry up and spend it in case it's an error!
Sandra L. Sep 15, 2007, 8:09pm EDT
Congratulations. It's a windfall. LOL
Nana to Seven Cutiepies Sep 15, 2007, 8:11pm EDT
You won a promotion, I suppose it would have been the video one since you already received the one for signing up five people.
Danielle P. Sep 15, 2007, 8:13pm EDT
Way to go!!!!
Digital Diva S. Sep 15, 2007, 8:18pm EDT
I got one too for a photo that was picked because it was something they were looking for - but not a contest. Not sure, I had to go look up the photo and the promotion and still haven't figured it out for sure but found the link to the winning photo and it was my brother's cat - maybe family photos group.
April H. Sep 15, 2007, 8:29pm EDT
Well I double checked the list Bridget kept of the $winners for the Family photo promo and it was not for that so I bet it was for the first 100 videos posted. Congratulations
Alainia~ Tha one n only~ a. Sep 15, 2007, 8:35pm EDT
congrats! Spend it on those beautiful boys!!!!
Pam H. Sep 15, 2007, 8:52pm EDT
I'm so jealous Shannon.
Carolyn K. Sep 15, 2007, 8:55pm EDT
Very nice! Congratulations!
Elaine A. Sep 15, 2007, 10:22pm EDT
Congrats Shanoon

I am wide awake, after falling asleep from the benedryl ;-(
Jo C. Sep 15, 2007, 10:30pm EDT
Congrats! I have 3 I am supposed to get and wonder how long it takes to get them but they are for $10 each, not $20. Still, it feels nice.
Alena Chauntee AKA Kitten Sep 15, 2007, 10:34pm EDT
COngrats. I still need 2 more people to join to get my borders card as well.
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Sep 16, 2007, 12:14am EDT
I wouldn't ask why. I would just spend it before anyone can take it back!
Frances Virginia M. Sep 16, 2007, 1:06am EDT
That is a wonderful surprise.
Teresa W. Sep 16, 2007, 3:17am EDT
How cool! I bet you could find something for your sweet mother for Christmas if you put your $50 card with that one too!!!
Heidianna "Coriander" T. Sep 16, 2007, 3:25am EDT
Don't look a gift card in the mouth! (Or something.) :)
Charlotte McClain Sep 16, 2007, 8:36am EDT
Lucky you. Sometimes the gift card gods smile on us.

Way to go Shannon, those are nice surprizes.
Sandy (back in Ohio...blah!) Sep 16, 2007, 5:16pm EDT
Congrats on getting a card. It is nice to get one you are not expecting.
Pam T. Sep 16, 2007, 5:48pm EDT

Congratulations!

Was I supposed to get a card for posting in the first 100 videos? I got 100 points for doing so but didn't know we'd get a card too? In that case Gather owes me TWO $20 cards.
Genenette R. Mar 22, 2008, 5:04pm EDT
That is great I am happy for you...Congratulations to you. I am still working on my very very first Gift Card Ever. I am saving for a $25.00 gift card from home depot. I only need 400 points or so still.
Sophiya S. Apr 20, 2008, 1:10pm EDT
it seems like you won it for another promotion
