Points For Christmas!

The holiday season has arrived, and my Gather friends and connections can expect to see a lot more of me! As, I am trying to earn enough points to get a couple of $50 gift cards to buy Christmas presents for my loved ones with. The only job, I currently hold is a very part time gig working on a website.... very part time.

Anyways, that's my goal. To get at least a couple cards. Almost have enough for the first one, but am still working on it.

Besides points for Christmas, I feel it's time for me to get active on Gather again in general. I have my career goals, and writing is one of them. I need to get my writing skills improved and the creative flow of writing back in my system completely.

Oh! As part of my getting back to Gather efforts, I will be scheduling out time, to at least view and db some points to my connections! I have been horrible about that I know! I am hoping to start making it up to people very soon!

 Anyone else trying to earn those points to shop for Christmas?

I just cashed in some of my points for Borders gift cards....I need a new stove, so after Christmas I'm going to save up for lots of Home Depot cards.

I hate to admit it, but I am giving gc's to my brothers for Christmas. This way they can go to the store and buy exactly what they want.

I'm glad to see you back, Sarah. Here's some points to make your Christmas better!

I hope that you can get as many points as you need to get your gc. I know that it would be nice to pick up a few extra points myself so that I can get borders gift cards for my niece and my daughter. They both love to read and it would be really rewarding for both of them to be able to buy some books they can read over and over.

Good luck and let us know if you achieve your goal.

Oops! Forgot to mention, that I will keep those who want to know, up-to-date on my progress!

I'm not because of all the sites I visit to earn GCs, Gather has the worst selection and nothing that works in my neck of the woods for gifts.
Nanci B Dec 3, 2007, 2:27am UTC
The people I could give them too don't have macys or Borders nearby.
Nanci B Dec 3, 2007, 2:27am UTC
None of them are into Home Depot although most of them don't have a Home depot nearby either.
Nanci B Dec 3, 2007, 2:28am UTC
And since you can only use on Borders card per order, I would have to save up for a $50 one rather than a bunch of smaller ones.
Nanci B Dec 3, 2007, 2:28am UTC
So it is unlikely that I will cash out again before Christmas even if I have enough points.
Nanci B Dec 3, 2007, 2:29am UTC
I also don't do as much Gathering as I used to so I am not getting points as quickly.
Nanci B Dec 3, 2007, 2:29am UTC
But I am willing to help anyone who wants points for Christmas so I hope these have helped.
Sherine W. Dec 3, 2007, 12:00pm UTC
Hope you are able to get all the cards you want!
Heather W. Dec 3, 2007, 12:42pm UTC
I'm trying to get another card and hope it gets here so I can use it before Christmas.

I'm trying to save up this month so I can break the 3000 mark -- probably won't happen but I figure it's good to have a goal.
Sarah McSib Dec 4, 2007, 11:58pm UTC
Thanks everyone! I do believe I commented everyone who's responded thus far! If you didn't get a comment back from me yet, then post here and I will get to ya!

I know how it is, we are haveing a Borders Christmas here.
Denise B. Dec 5, 2007, 7:47am UTC
my hubys hours always get cut back during the winter and we struggle just to get by.
Denise B. Dec 5, 2007, 7:47am UTC
So everything I earned here I used for Christmas gifts :)
Denise B. Dec 5, 2007, 7:48am UTC
It is what we can do and isn't bad at ALL :)
Denise B. Dec 5, 2007, 7:48am UTC
Good Luck with your points too :)
On a mission, can't talk now, Trying to give fifty points (at least) to all my connections for Christmas, or whatever:

Ten unsolicited points from the world's worst connection. Merry whatever you celebrate!
