SunshineRewards: “Win a BookSwim.com Membership at Sunshine Rewards”

Enter at SunshineRewards.com

We’re always excited when we introduce a new merchant at Sunshine Rewards but even more exciting when we can do it with a contest! SR has partnered with our newest merchant, BookSwim.com, to give you a chance to win a membership for yourself AND a friend!

What is BookSwim? It’s often called “Netflix” for books but that’s completely do it justice. BookSwim is a membership based service that allows you to rent books for as long as you want. You simply choose the monthly plan that works best for you and then visit their site to start queuing up your books. They will then send the books to you from your list. Take as long as you want to read them and after you return them, they will send you more. It’s a perfect solution for people who love to read but are tired of paying $10-30 per book. Unlike the library, you won’t be on wait lists for months just to get new releases. And now on with the contest!

The prize: A 2-month membership to BookSwim.com for both you AND your nominee (plan will be the 3 books at a time plan given as a $50 gift card).

To enter:

1) Leave a comment below telling us who you know that deserves a BookSwim membership and why (one entry).

2) Twitter about the contest and leave a comment below with your Tweet (one entry).

3) Post this contest on Facebook and leave a comment below with what you posted (one entry).

4) Blog about this contest and leave your link to the post below (two entries).

Entries must be received by midnight Eastern on July 6, 2010. Open to U.S. residents 18 and older only.

Real Women Scrap TV: “Bookswim: For Avid Readers Everywhere”

Read the full article at RealWomenScrap.com

Okay, maybe not only avid readers. You can be a casual reader too. But, you are going to love this. Bookswim is to books what Netflix is to movies. So now instead of ordering new movies to watch all the time, I can order my favorite new books, read them, return and repeat!

Bookswim is offering one lucky winner a FREE 3-month subscription to their service. No strings attached. Just go here for the official entry form. It only takes 30 seconds to enter!

Bookswim is the first online book rental service that delivers hardcovers, paperbacks and college textbooks directly to your home. They stock all the latest bestsellers, new releases and classics! Read the books as long as you want with no late fees. Even choose to purchase and keep the books you love.

This is where it separates itself from all other sources:

* Library books have limited checkout, late fees, and long waits for new releases
* Paperbackswap books have a low fee, but very seldom have new releases and they aren’t new
* Bookstores well, the cost can really add up if you go through books like I do

If you just can’t wait and want to get signed up now, you can get $10 off by using the code: REALWOMENSCRAP10.

Happy Reading!
