Who wouldn't want a few extra dollars before the holidays? I know that I would!

From December 10-18, Gilbert the Gift Cad Machine is giving away more than 100 gift cards as they get ready for Gift Card Weekend.

Plus, you can earn more entries when your friends like Gift Card Weekend too. How many people take your recommendations?  Each person is worth another chance to win. Show your influence and get some clout.

What is Gift Card Weekend? It's the perfect time to redeem all those holiday gift cards. Gift Card Weekend is January 6-8, 2012. During this once a year event, participating retail partners give special offers for gift card redemption. That means your gift card will be worth more than the face value. A great bonus coming out of the holiday shopping spending sprees.
