Super easy contest!!

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=51624979579

Become a Facebook Fan of SR and post on our "wall" which SR merchant you like best. This is a great way for you to get your friends involved in SR without them having to sign up for a membership. Hopefully they will see what we do and what we have to offer and then they will want to become full-fledged members. :)

Do you have to be a member of facebook? I clicked on the link and it's asking me for a password and login info.:(

Do I have to RSVP as attending the event to be able to post, or am I missing something?

Okay, I'm new to this. How do I join SR's page?

I just became a fan and tried to post something on the Wall. I entered the scrambled security words at least a dozen times and I was never able to post. Is there a waiting period? I am Facebook ignorant. I don't have a text plan and really don't want to give Facebook my cell phone number to "verify" my account through a text.

Good question! I'm already a fan of SR on Facebook - can I still play?

To join SR's page, you can create a facebook account, then follow Tricia's link in the first post to become a fan.

Once you have an FB account (I don't use my cell phone for mine), you just have to become a Fan of SR (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sunshine-Rewards/46793773548). Once you are a Fan, you can post on our wall. There shouldn't be any wait period. The RSVP just puts it on your calendar so that you are reminded of it.

That's what I tried - I successfully signed up to be a fan and then typed a message to post on the wall. When I hit "post," it asked for two security words separated by a space. I typed those security words at least 12 times and gave up. It said if I was tired of trying, I could give them my cell phone number and they could verify my account with a text. I'll try again and see if it likes me this time.

ETA: I tried with Firefox and IE and, for whatever reason, it just won't let me post on the wall despite entering the crazy letters/words many, many times. Oh well.

That's odd. I've never been asked to type words before being allowed to post. Not sure how to help

Cool- thanks for another contest Tricia! My 7 year old lost his shuffle sometime over Christmas time. It would be fun to get one for him for free! Of course now he wants a nano, but I think he's a bit young for something so expensive!!!!

I just tried to post and had the same problem with the words. Tried probably 15 times before I went ahead and verified my cell phone number since it will be changing to a new one next week.

UG! The stupid words got me too... I tried multiple times with multiple browsers...and it won't let me post.
I don't think my cell phone would work... so I guess I can't enter this one... someone post please if you figure out the guess the word problem.

We've had a huge jump in referrals since we started this. Looks like some of you are sending along your Facebook friends. :)

Be sure to give them your user number in case they decide to sign up at some point! Even if they do not use your referral link, they can still enter your number on the signup page. It can sometimes be hard, though, to tell people about the referral thing because you don't want them to think that it is a pyramid scheme.

I have my link on my facebook side and I just hope that people are smart enough to look for a referral when signing up. Maybe not me but someone you know. I get tons of people I don't even know.

I think it is only the people having to enter captcha (the words) that are having problems...

I know that the microsoft captcha got hacked today...so many people may be switching to recaptcha which is what facebook uses...just a guess...
Here is the link to the info on the microsoft captcha..

I'm hoping that it will be fixed in a day or two and I can post on the wall for the contest...

Just posting this for others in the same situation.

I must be a dope because I can't find where to post on the wall. I clicked on both links. Brings me to SR page but no where to post on the wall. Going to try Firefox.

I found it through Tricia's link and posted. I guess I'm not as dumb as I thought. :blush:

I hate to admit it, but this is 100% completely beyond me. When I click on the link and log into Facebook, what do I do when I've gotten to the SR page?

If you look towards the bottom of the page you will see people's posts on the "wall". Just add your post!

Sorry . . . I still don't get it. I only have a Facebook account because I was invited a year ago and haven't been back there since then. When I click on the link I get to a page where it talks about confirmed guests and I still can't figure out what to do. :(

Haven't read through all the posts since earlier today, but is this contest open to all members, or just people that join as new facebook members?
