After getting the run-around from Audacity and my local talk radio station personnel, I finally tweeted the program host who drew my name out of the hat for the weekly gift card giveaway. The producer tweeted back with an email address to contact him with my information.
Looks like it’s been taken care of. Within minutes, the producer looped me in on an email chain with their promotions director, who had previously ignored my attempts to contact him, said he’d get it in the mail today to me, and I should receive it within 2-3 days, which sounds about right from there to here. Evidently, being a bit of a (polite) pest works. The producer even checked his records, and told the promotions guy that I had been “persistent,” and told him which week’s drawing I had won. He knew I wasn’t BS-ing him.
I really, really wanted that gift card, because I love seafood, and there’s a location within 10 miles of me at which I could use it. If it had been a gift card to, say, Target, I might have let it go. Nope, a gift card to a seafood market that specializes in crustaceans is far too valuable to me to let it go.
Let’s see what happens. I want those crab cakes and lobster bisque! YUM!
