mGinger: Luck up a Lakh Contest!

mGinger: Luck up a Lakh Contest! Valid till Jul 31, 2008

I received one mail (pasted below in italics) from mGinger, which talks about having a chance of winning a cash prize of Rs. 1 lac. Those people who have registered with mGinger may find it interesting as one never knows when s/he can get lucky!

Those who are not a member, but want to become can simply click this link - Register with mGinger (this will put you in my network) and add themselves to the mGinger network. It costs nothing and requires you to receive few SMSes on your mobile. I would suggest not to pay attention on the earnings in the beginning as it'll be negligible. But, it's a good concept and may become successful in the future. I don't see any harm in registering with it for three reasons - 1) it costs nothing 2) we anyway receive so many SMSes most of them being advertisements, so receiving few more won't really add that much to our irritation 3) this is a good concept and we may see some good results as there have been cases in the past where some not-so-promising looking ideas succeeded brilliantly and who cares if it's not so successful... it takes not more than 1-2 mins to register and just forget after that. This is my personal take on it and you may certainly differ from it. So those who find their takes aligned with mine on this issue may proceed further and read the mail which I received from them today:-

Dear Niraj,

It's time to pick up your mobile phone and get into action! Because this time around, mGinger presents the 'Luck up a Lakh' contest. A chance for you to win a whopping cash prize of Rs. 1 lakh. No kidding!

Think a friend can bring you luck? Get him/ her registered immediately under your mGinger network before 31st July, 2008 and you stand the chance to win the lump sum amount. The contest ends at midnight, 31st July, 2008. So no looking here or there! Register your friends now! You never know who might bring you luck! You never know who might bring you a lakh!

All the Best,

Team mGinger

P.S. To win, your friend has to be a verified mobile user and successfully registered under your mGinger network.

Currently available exciting Movie Tickets booking offers

Offer: Currently available exciting Movie Tickets booking offers

Description: We have always (for the last 3-4 months) been having more than one movie ticket booking offer to pick the best suitable for us from. Few of those offers have expired now and it may be of help to you all to find all available offers at one place. This post contains small desctiption of those offers and the corresponding links which will take you the detailed offer page.

• VISA PVR Offer - one of the best in its category for sure. Buy 1 Get 1 Free type with a minimum of 2 tickets to be purchased. On 4 you will need to pay for 2 tickets and also on 3 you will need to pay for 2 tickets (for Platinum VISA Card). The offer is valid till Jul 31, 2008. Browse the link for more details.
• Double Fun Offer by BookMyShow - Buy 2 Get 2 Free on Fun Cinema tickets booked via BookMyShow. Browse the link to go to the detailed post.
• Buy 1 Get 1 Free on Deutsche Platinum - good offer, but the only problem is that it's only on Deutsche Bank Platinum Card, which is of course not one of the most popular in India. This offer is also valid for tickets booking at BookyMyShow only.
• Rs. 250 off on Barclaycard - valid on tickets booked through BookMyShow web site and through BookMyShow mobile application.

I've personally liked the VISA PVR offer, especially because PVR is located opposite to my house :-) I hope they will come up with some similar offer once the current offer expires and BookMyShow has always been full of offers and PVR can't simply ignore that fact.
