Widget Fidget Gidget
Ok, it’s kind of technical to explain but…. Our widget provider has switched platforms. Now, they are not supporting the previous platform. What this means to you and us is that all of the widgets that you have so industriously embedded around the Web-O-Sphere are now rendered useless. :o( We are searching for a new widget provider. But there won’t be anything we can do...

More Bonus Store purchases...the close-out sale!
Post from ICS user Kimberly in her blog, My Good Cents: My ICS Bonus Store Prize Arrived! A few days ago I wrote a post about the ICS Bonus Store closing.

As Americans, we are all struggling to rebound, too, and our fighting, never-say-die spirit is evident. InstantCashSweepstakes.com is not built to make you rich, and we never claim to do that. All we want to do is provide you with a fun,...

The problems seem to all have been resolved to the best of our ability and to the best of our knowledge. One casualty of InstantCashSweepstakes.com 2.0, however,  is Internet Explorer, version 6.

"You play to win the game"....Herm Edwards
Nobody embodies that winning spirit more than Gregory F! He has made it a point to know and understand exactly how ICS works, and then made it his business to work every possible angle. As a result, he has 653 invited friends, which translates to INSTANT CASH! He wins when his friends win, and with that many friends, he has gotten more than $80 this month on MATCHING prizes alone!

Attention ICS Community!
Hello, ICSers! Wow! I want to tell you all how impressed I have been (for the most part) with the quality of many of your surveys.

Only 20 People so Far are eligible to win $1099!!!
How about  those odds? Yep.   Here we are less than 40 days away from the end of the  sweepstakes and only 20 people have registered for the ICS tax cut $1099 sweepstakes  and met the criteria of inviting 10 friends to join ICS. Obviously we’ve created the sweepstakes to grow our site and to reward those helping us do just that. Finding 10 friends to join ICS may be a big challenge but to...

Your Odds of Winning $1099 Are Unbelievable!
As I write this, we are two weeks into the $1099 Tax cut Sweepstakes which ends on 4/15/09.  At this moment, 227 members have registered for this event BUT ONLY 12 ARE QUALIFIED TO BE SELECTED AS THE WINNER OF $1099. Maybe our rules are too obtuse???  We felt it necessary to create a strong set of restrictions in order to prevent cheaters from un-leveling the playing field.  If you are not a...

Now you can skip surveys that you don't want to...
The “skip” button has arrived at ICS.  Use it sparingly because you lose 1 survey for that session for each use.  Skip 5 surveys and you get none that session. It won’t show on surveys you that have previously answered nor on market research surveys once we launch that biz. I hope that you are all happy, David

The ICS $1099 Tax Cut Sweepstakes
Earlier today we announced our biggest sweepstakes ever, “The $1099 Tax Cut Sweepstakes.” (TCS)  The purpose of this post is to explain the TCS in less formal words than he rules as laid out in detail on the TCS registration page. The TCS begins on 2/15 but was announced today so that you can begin to put yourself in a position to earn “chances” (think “lottery tickets in the TCS”).  The purpose...
