Sponsored Post: Gilt Groupe $100.00 Gift Certificate Giveaway

Pictured: The fabulous finds on shopping club Gilt Groupe.

Back in 2008, when I started The Recessionista, there weren’t many places were you could find the high-end designers on sale for good prices.  Occasionally I would see something at Loehmann’s, but most of the time I was waiting for H&M to sign up a new designer (which only happened once a year) or digging through the racks at TJ Maxx or Marshalls hoping to find a bargain.  When I found out about Gilt Groupe in 2008, shortly after I was featured in the New York Times, I was literally over the moon.   For the first time, I could find some of my favorite designers, ones featured at New York Fashion Week and even Paris Fashion Week, at deep discounts.  As I celebrate four years now doing The Recessionista, I wanted to do a special reader giveaway with one of the partners that I have been working with since the beginning to make readers aware of affordable deals, and that is Gilt Groupe.  Where else can you find discounted Valentino, Milly, Temperley of London, Armani and Marc Jacobs, just to name a few?   As a token of reader appreciation, I’m pleased to announce a giveaway of a $100.00 gift certificate to shop at Gilt Groupe.  Gilt truly has it all from fashion, to jewelry to vacation, and now they even offer food and wine.  Here’s what you need to do to enter.  This is a social  media contest, and if you read here, that’s what I like.  You will get an initial entry by leaving a comment about your favorite designer or deal on Gilt Groupe.  Then, you can get additional entries for following me and Gilt Groupe via our various social media communities, like Twitter and Facebook.   You’ll also get an additional entry for joining Gilt Group if you’re not already a member using my invite.

This contest will starts now and will be open until Feb. 14th, 2012 at midnight EST.   The contest is only open to US Residents.  Make sure to enter your name and email for each selection, so your entries will be counted.   Submit your entries using the Rafflecopter Widget below.  It’s easy to use, simply sign in via Facebook or via your email, then follow the instructions. If you don’t see the Rafflecopter widget, leave a comment using the comment button underneath the post with your email address or click the Read More Link,  underneath this post.

Note, I am calling this a sponsored post because I earn a small referral fee if you join Gilt Groupe using my invite. However, Gilt Groupe is not paying me to run this contest or write this post. The opinions here are my own.
