The Super-Fantastic, Recession-Destroying Where I've Been Mobile Giveaway

The recession: You're tired of hearing about it, but you're still probably playing it safe on travel expenses. We understand. That's why Where I've Been is giving away $500 in American Express Travelers' Cheques! All you have to do is subscribe to the Where I've Been Mobile Community. Let's hammer out the details:
  • The $500 Travelers' Cheques promotion runs from July 20th to August 10th. So act fast! On August 15th, we'll select the winner at random.
  • To sign up, text the word "travel" to 89074, and you should get a response confirming your place in the WIB Mobile Community and the $500 promotion.
  • This message will remind you that "Standard rates apply"--in other words, however your texting plan is set up with your service provider, you will be charged that amount for each text you receive from us. It'd be the same as receiving a text from a friend. Can we be your friend? We're not in it to scam you--no hidden charges, no funny business, just a few sweet periodic promotions and offers.
  • Now you're probably skeptical about what "periodic" and "promotions" really mean. You're sharp, pilgrim. Let it be clear: We're also not in it to spam you. You will receive one text from us every few weeks reminding you of a new giveaway or promotion. No signing you up for jokes, no semi-frequent philosophical questions, no late-night pillow talk. Just stuff that we think can help you out--free round-trip airfare, big discounts, iPhones. You'd like that, right? We thought so.
  • As of now, this giveaway is only open to the United States and Canada. But we promise we haven't forgotten the rest of the world--we're still working on making the current promotion and all future giveaways international, so stay tuned to find out more.
  • If you ever wish to quit receiving promotions from us, all you have to do is text "stop" to 89074. It's that easy.
Have we convinced you yet? We hope so. Imagine what $500 can buy you in your dream destination--that's, like, 43 round-trip camel rides in Egypt. If you haggle, you might even be able to buy the camel. But don't take our word for it. You'll never know until the sweet bounty rests in your very hands, so join the WIB Mobile Community today!

Cheers,
The Where I've Been Team

Can you please give more info in terms of what you're going to send out, and how can I regulate the kind of deals I'd be interested into? Thank you!

Hi!

This is our first text message promotion and we want to make it as user friendly as possible. Our first promotion is $500 in American Express Travelers Cheques for the winner to use on their next travel adventure. Future giveaways will be prizes like an iPhone, round-trip airfare, or even a trip to vacation destinations like the Bahamas or Australia!

If you sign up for the Where I’ve Been Mobile Community by texting TRAVEL to 89074, you will receive a text every few weeks letting you know when we’re giving away new prizes. Then, if you are interested in that weeks giveaway simply text back to us and you’ll be entered; if you are not interested in that weeks giveaway, no worries--just ignore the message and keep an eye out for another one that you’d like to enter.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to email me anytime at katy@whereivebeen.com

Cheers

Hi there, do you have a standard rules & regulations page for your sweepstakes Vegas giveaway? Searched for it on the site but couldn't find it. Thanks!
