SMS the Correct Answers & Win Giftmate Gift Vouchers

This time Giftmate is giving away free gift vouchers through Neo Sports, which is the sports channel which is broadcasting the current India and South Africa Test Cricket Series. And this offer is valid through the current test series.

It seems that Neo Sports is also currently running an SMS contest wherein if you send correct answer for the question that has been asked during the cricket match every day you can win Giftmate voucher for free. I am very surprised in which the Giftmate is coming back again and again with such offers every day. Not sure how they can manage to giveaway this much free gift vouchers.

To win the Gift Mate gift voucher, you need to send the answer for the given question in the format prescribed there. And

On giving the first right answer to any of these SMS contest, you will be eligible to receive a GiftMate voucher worth Rs. 100
The above statement was found in the terms and conditions at Giftmate. Not sure what it means?! It could either mean that only the first SMS that they receive with the correct answer during the contest period will win the Rs. 100 voucher or it could also mean that all the correct first answer from any number of people who send the correct answer will win Rs. 100 voucher, not sure.

If you answer it correctly and were able to answer all the subsequent questions too, your account will be topped up with Giftmate voucher worth Rs. 10 and so on for every correct answer, but also remember that the SMS charges for any premium number is Rs. 3 and hence you are gaining here only Rs. 7.

Only those who give the correct answer are eligible to win the gift voucher. And all the existing Giftmate users can also avail this offer. The Giftmate vouchers will be sent within seven days through either SMS or email.

After receiving your gift voucher, you need to login to your Giftmate login and activate it, then only you will be eligible to use those vouchers. This gift voucher will be valid only till May 31, 2008 and after that it will lose its validity.

Again only the users and readers here need to confirm the SMS that we need to send the SMS and the correct format in which need to be sent, as I am again not sure about it, as I have not watched the cricket series till now as Neo Sports is not available in our city!

Just remember that this is only a contest unlike the Giftmate’s previous offers where everyone will be getting the gift voucher for doing the required thing as asked by them. Here it is not the case, it could be that only a few selected people could be termed as winners and I would suggest you be careful in sending SMS thinking that you will be wining for all the SMS you sent, since the SMS you send could be of premium rates and hence you might end up losing in the intent of winning some gift vouchers. Try this at your own risk.

This offer will be on during the entire India-South Africa Test Series. You can find more about this offer and learn about its terms and conditions, here.

This offer was suggested to me by Sharad Bengani.

One more question they have said that the GiftMate voucher IDs shall be disbursed via SMS within 7 working days on the mobile number and also said that the voucher will expire on 31st so what if we don't get it by the 31st as also this contest will be running till the 30th that's when the series ends.
