Freebiechick posted this offer on the forum and with all the toy recalls due to lead going on, I figured it would be a good one to share with our blog readers too.   This kit is from protect.our.kids.org and it is free other than shipping. 

Here is some info on it from their site:

The Get the Lead Out screening kit can help you make your home safer. The kit contains two Lead Check swabs, a test verification sheet, reporting forms, manufacturer’s directions, MSDS data sheet, information on recent recalls and a tip sheet about what you can do to help stop toxic imports. The screening kit is free – you just pay $3.00 shipping & handling per kit.

* Shipping & Handling Fee $3.00 per kit

For anyone who does not know what Netwinner is, its a free game site where you can earn free gift cards.   I joined awhile ago skeptical about actually getting paid out but I am pleased to say that I just submitted for my first $25 MasterCard gift card so it does work.   And since I know for sure that it works, I figured I would post the details here on the blog for our readers so you can start earning some gift cards as well.  🙂

How Netwinner works is you sign up (and receive 1000 bonus points for doing so) then you simply play the game until you hit 25,000 points – once you reach 25, 000 points you just submit your claim for your gift card.  At first I thought 25,000 points was one heck of a lot and that I’d never get my gift card, but I actually got the points pretty quickly – I joined in May and claimed a $25 card at the start of October. 🙂

Here are some details about how Netwinner works from their site: “After registration, you can begin winning! Pick 4 two digit numbers and 1 one digit bonus number and click the WIN!!! button. The game automatically checks your picks against all 9 simultaneous ways to win and immediately notifies if you won. Win cash or points and it’s always FREE TO PLAY.”   I always use the quick pick button when I play since its faster, but you can also select your own numbers if you want.

Netwinner also has instant win prizes (i.e. instant win of a $25 gift card) that some people on our forum have won.  So overall its definitely worth signing up for.  Even if you only make a couple spins a day/week your not out anything since its free and your points will keep adding up.  Of course the more you spin, the more you win and the quicker you’ll receive a free gift card! 🙂

Happy spinning everyone and good luck – I’m looking forward to reading about all your wins in the comments!

Prue

 EDIT: Oh and you also get points for referring people – so be sure to send your sign up link to people so you can get more points and get your card even faster! Also, if the people you refer verify their email addresses, you also get 10% of what they win everytime they win. 🙂
