John Tamplin Disney Aulani Hawaiian Trip picture

(PRWEB) May 07, 2012

John Tamplin of Granbury, Texas took advantage of Sweepstakes Today’s (http://www.sweepstakestoday.com), free membership 2007, he said in an interview today. He learned about the premier online sweeping site from a friend who had become a 10K member there.

But it wasn’t until this year that his wins put him into the 10K Club it was reported. Tamplin actually became a member of the prestigious 10K Club when he won to tickets to the Michael Jackson Immortal World Tour by Cirque du Soliel eight days before he also won the Grand Prize on Disney’s Online Hawaiian Getaway Sweepstakes, but he didn’t recognize it.

“It turns out that the Cirque du Soliel trip actually put me over $ 10,000 worth of won,” Tamplin said. “I just didn’t realize it until I also won the Hawaiian Getaway. (In fact) I had won over $ 11,000 in trips in just the past 8 days.”

“We were able to include my wife’s daughter and her husband on the Hawaii trip,” he continued. “It was almost unbelievable to have an ocean view room at the newly opened Aulani Disney resort, and eat breakfast next to the beach area every morning overlooking the ocean. A $ 500 spending credit, rental car, and round trip air transportation was also provided. The trip was something we had wanted to do for all of our lives. So now Hawaii is marked off of our bucket list,” he chuckled.

No stranger to sweepstakes wins, Tamplin has collected two NASCAR trips, one by Dodge and the other by Pepsi plus numerous prizes ranging from $ 25 to $ 100 dollar cash and gift cards, dishwashing detergent, and t-shirts, he explained.

Asked how he feels about becoming a 10K Club member he responded, “Being a 10k member does make me appreciate Sweepstakestoday.com more and I feel obligated to help and encourage others in their efforts. I use the (online sweepstakes) site 99.9% of all of my entries, so without Sweepstakes Today, I would have won very little.”

Sweepstakes Today LLC began offering sweepstakes online in early 2004. The company is based in Tulsa Oklahoma and uses custom Microsoft ASP/ASPX programming developed in Salt Lake City, Utah. To date, the popular web site (http://www.sweepstakestoday.com) has published over 35,000 sweepstakes, giveaways and contests.

Answer by that_girl_4455
It doesn’t hurt you. Having many creditors accept you can help you but denials do not hurt you. If you have 50+ requests (whehter they are denied or accepted) it may knock you dont a few points (possibly 10) but that is only if you credit is already bad, because it is just adding to your ‘history of bad usage’

Answer by BigB
The fact of the matter is that if you’re careful about where you shop and who you trust your credit teasing info with, shopping with your credit card online is just as safe as shopping with it in a brick and mortar store. When you do use your attribute card online, make certainly that you only use it on secure sit. You can tell if a site is secure by looking at the URL address. If it starts with https:// instead of http://, the site is secure. Even if your credit card information should fall into the wrong hands, most credit card companies have fraud protection policies which limit your liability to pay for fraudulent charges. If charges that you didnt authorize appear on your credit card statement, you can call your credit card company and dispute the charge. I recommend IE 7.0 and above as it checks for Phishing. In the field of computer security, phishing is the criminally fraudulent process of attempting to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit teasing details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication.Let me know if this helps!

Global Hotel Exchange, world-wide Internet reservations with no merchant discounts, commissions, or distribution fees of any kind.

London, UK (PRWEB UK) 28 March 2012

WIHP (World Independent Hotels Promotion), one of the leading hotel marketing companies in Europe, has recently closed an agreement with Global Hotel Exchange to further expand revenue channels for hotels in the WIHP network. WIHP is already working with numerous OTAs ensuring the distribution of hotels is properly managed on all possible platforms, to create a win-win situation where hotels increase their profits and benefit from the traffic generated from these sources. For WIHP clients, Global Hotel Exchange is another channel of distribution, which offers obvious advantages to both hotel owners and consumers.

Unlike most OTAs (online travel agencies), GHX charges no merchant discounts, commissions or distribution fees of any kind to hotels. Global Hotel Exchange does not collect any funds from the hotel. Total room rate, taxes and all other charges are collected at checkout by the hotel. Global Hotel Exchange sends complete reservation data upon booking with full details necessary to hold each room. For travelers, Global Hotel Exchange eliminates corporate travel pains such as pre-travel credit teasing blocking, prepaid room fees and inflexible cancelation policies. The traveler will only pay hotel fees upon arrival at the hotel. The whole purpose of Global Hotel Exchange is to facilitate a direct dialogue between guests and hotels, thus removing the impersonal middleman. WIHP hotels are always interested in receiving the better possible representation online, and GHX provides excellent means at no cost:

“It’s in WIHP’s DNA to work with independent hotels and develop ways for them to increase their distribution. We have worked with many OTAs and have partnerships with them. For us GHX is more than just an OTA, it follows our philosophy of generating bookings for hotels at the best possible cost. We are proud to be able to distribute our hotel clients through GHX as one of the most innovative distribution channels of the last decade,” said Martin Soler, WIHP’s Marketing Director.

“Global Hotel Exchange is gallant to welcome WIHP and their clients to a new worldwide league of hotels reshaping distribution and service in favour of consumers. By selling rooms direct to consumers, and without the added costs of OTA and travel agent fees, WIHP and other GHX hotels will have more resources to serve consumers, and offer lower prices as well. With some 1230 hotel clients worldwide, this collaboration with WIHP adds significantly to the GHX value equation, for hotels and their guests,” added Global Hotel Exchange CEO and Founder Thomas Magnuson.

PayNearMe, the cash transaction network, today announced the availability of a new mobile cash payment system, changing the way millions of consumers pay their bills and purchase goods or services.

PayNearMe’s mobile service is designed to provide cash consumers, including those who are unbanked and underbanked, with a cash-payment option that utilizes a tool that is already a part of their everyday lives. Currently more than half of U.S. mobile phone owners have smartphones, and prepaid smartphones commonly used by cash consumers and the unbanked are one of the fast-growing segments of the mobile market.

“Since its inception, PayNearMe has offered the most effective mechanisms for companies to serve cash consumers, including the un- and underbanked,” said PayNearMe CEO Danny Shader. “By adding a fully mobile payment option to our platform, we’re not only providing businesses with the ability to better functioning their existing customers, but we’re giving them a foundation from which they can expand to reach unexampled audiences, such as mobile gamers and the next generation of consumers.”

The mobile barcode then can be scanned at payment locations, such as more than 6,600 participating local 7-Eleven® stores, enabling consumers to quickly and easily use cash to re-pay loans, subsidize bills, and buy goods and services such as Greyhound bus tickets.
Within days of deploying the mobile option, Greyhound experienced a high volume of mobile transactions, averaging more than 20% of its PayNearMe cash payments.

“Our passengers represent a wide transverse-section of the public, but the one thing they have in common is their smartphones,” said Dave Leach, President and CEO at Greyhound. “We want to make it as easy as possible for customers to purchase bus tickets, and PayNearMe’s new smartphone-enabled barcodes have granted our passengers a great way to pay for their tickets using an essential part of their everyday inhabited.”

“We are excited to be among the first companies to provide our customers with the PayNearMe mobile payment experience,” said Dave Tomlinson, President of Progreso Financiero, which provides financial services to the Hispanic community. “In doing so, we give them greater flexibility to turn their phones into cash-payment tools, making their overall experience in paying off their loans with Progreso Financerio effortless and convenient.”

PayNearMe’s mobile option is the company’s latest offering to serve cash consumers, including the un- and underbanked population.
