I've won $50, I've won $50, I've won $50 dollars!!

As you can probably tell, I'm really excited. I recently bought a CD (Hello Pig by the Levellers) from cd-wow and was generally pretty impressed by the low cost of the CDs and the speed of service but not nearly as impressed as I was by the fact that I HAVE WON $50!! (Its only just happened and I really am excited!)

I actually found out about cd-wow on dooyoo which proves what a wonderful resource it is (as if we needed proof) and thought that I would take a look. It was not that attractive on first visit as it has a very limited range of CDs available which appear to be mostly chart music and recent releases which don't interest me. They list the top 75 CDs although it isn't clear whether this actually corresponds to the charts or is just the most popular 75. There is an option to search for anything that isn't displayed but the range still seemed incredibly limited. There was a section announcing forthcoming releases which was quite useful.

However, the greatest band of all time (The Levellers) recently released a new album so I had a look at cd-wow and there it was for £8.99 (postage and packaging is included in that price).

I eagerly tapped in my credit card details and awaited my email confirmation. I was extremely disappointed to receive an email saying that my card had been declined and advising me to contact my bank. My bank, however, had no explanation for this as I am within my credit limit (miracle) and the card was valid. So I emailed cd-wow and they advised me to try again. It worked the second time and the CD was delivered four days later.

All in all, pretty good service.

But then it got better. I was sitting here trying to do a final hour of work on my thesis when I received a 'how was it for you' email inviting me to fill in a short questionnaire about my shopping experience. Alway keen to be distr
acted from work, I filled in the short questionnaire and was presented with an online scratchcard which offered me the opportunity to win $50. Dooyoo know, I nearly didn't bother as I always think these things are just a swizz! But I scratched away with my mouse and I HAVE WON $50 (still excited - it doesn't take much - will I even sleep tonight?!?)

So, a relatively limited range of CDs at great prices, with quick and free delivery and friendly customer services. Great.

Oh, and did I mention that I won $50?
