Microsoft has teamed up with Ellen Degeneres in order to help spread some holiday cheer via its search/decision engine. Online shoppers now have available the “12 Days of Giveaways,” brought to them by The Ellen Degeneres Show and Bing Cashback. According to Microsoft, all that users need do is watch the Ellen show and enter the sweepstakes in order to get a chance at winning the prizes lined up for them.
“What better way to get in the holiday spirit then some fun giveaways and shopping! If you have seen Ellen Degeneres’s annual 12 days of Giveaways that is starting today you know that it is sure to bring you holiday cheer and great ideas for holiday gifts,” revealed Kristin Meldahl, from the Bing team.
12 Days of Giveaways was launched on December 3rd, 2009, but users still have plenty of chances to win as the sweepstakes have only advanced to the second day at the time of this article. Microsoft notes that there are an additional 11 days of giveaways. Those who wish to participate need to navigate to the Ellen website and sign up in the form at the bottom of the page. The contest is open only to US residents.
“Each day Ellen will give away some very cool gifts to her studio audience and this year, the Bing team has partnered with the Ellen show to highlight the hottest picks for this year, places where you can get great deals on the items online (sorry…not for free here), and an easy way to find more great deals for your holiday shopping. Ellen will choose new items every day until December 18th,” Meldahl added. “We hope for those of us not lucky enough to be in Ellen’s audience that bringing you deals on her favorite products can be the next best thing.”
But even if Ellen Degeneres doesn’t deliver, online shoppers can still take advantage of the offerings that Bing Cashback and participating online shops are offering. Bing Cashback account owners that buy products online through Microsoft’s search/decision engine will receive cashback payments from the online retailers that have partnered with Microsoft for promotions. Signing up for Bing Cashback is, of course, free.

| Comment #6 by: Yvette Burrows on 10 Dec 2009, 01:20 UTC | reply to this comment | Ellen Degeneres has great 12 day giveaways. But sad that we in Toronto, Canada cannot participate even though her shows are shown on Canadian Television. I feel I have missed out on the wonderful give aways of today, epecially the $100 Shell gas card, the rimless sun glasses, the Samsonite travel case and the note book. All of which are such useful gifts which I could really use, as I have lost my job and have been home since Feb'09. Its difficult to travel as I am just making ends meet.. So even though I watch Ellen's show everyday I feel that we her fans in Canada loose out on these 12 day giveaway. If I could be present on any of these 12 days I would love to be present on one of her shows but dont know if I will get tickets before the 12 days giveaway get over!!
Thanks and I hope this message is passed on to Ellen she said on her show to visit her on the Bing website.

| Comment #6.1 by: Brenda on 18 Dec 2009, 09:38 GMT | I agree with Yvette, we get the show in Canada and watch faithfully everyday. Not being able to travel cuz of money problems, and not having crediit cards, makes it hard to get to be there. I think Canadians should also be able to win on the 12 days of Christmas giveaways. Maybe not the gift cards but the other gadets, and electronics should be availiable for us to win. That is like the O magazine, I would have loved to be able to purchase it. I recently lost my stepdad and my little puppy Rascal 2 devesating deaths to me. Lost my home which my mother and I lived in together. Now she is with my brother and I miss being with her. They say she is not well and I can't imagaine life without her. We have come from being poor all of our lives. Would have loved to give her a christmas to remember as we never know if it is her last. Just wanted to add this comment to you in hopes that maybe someday soon we will get to partake in your joy of giving and recieving, not to sound greedy. We do love you here in Canada and think your have a wonderful show, thanks for that. Love to all of you at this time of year. Tell Porsha to have a wonderful funfilled christmas as I know you will make it that way. xo |
| Comment #7 by: Linda Sherr on 10 Dec 2009, 15:47 UTC | reply to this comment | Dearest Ellen,
I just want to say that you are a blessing to TV, to women and to the gays! You are generous with yourself and your show. THANK YOU!!!
As a mom of a gay guy, and he, who has a spouse and 3 beautiful adopted children, it is nice to see a gay person on TV in such a positive way.
I can not watch your giveaways, without tears. You, your staff and sponsors do wonderful work for people in need. There are so many people needing help in our country at this time. I know it must be hard for you to pick which one will get the gifts.
Keep up the GOOD work and have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!! |

I think that what you do for people is great! Keep up the good work. May I ask a favor? with your vast audience, would you have them say a small prayer for me and my family. I have CHF and October was heart attack # 5.
Again keep up the good work

| Comment #29 by: faye Tackett on 12 Feb 2010, 14:55 UTC | reply to this comment | I am writing to your show on behalf of my brother and sister in law. I know you help families sometimes who are having a hardship. My brother and his wife are both out of work (like alot of people), but my sister in law has been diagnosed with acute renal failure due to medication the doctor prescribed. She was in the hospital for about a month during Christmas '09 and now has to have dialysis 3 times a week. The doctor was hoping the kidneys would resume normal voiding,but that has not happened. She is now on a kidney list. So of course she cannot work. My brother was laid off of his job the week she went into the hospital. He can not really look for work because he has to take her to dialysis. He draws unemployment but it barely pays the food bill and gas to drive her to the doctor. My brother has had seizure since he was about 2 years old and is on medication for that (he is 40 now). They bought my Mother's home after she passed away so there is a mortgage and lots and lots of medical bills. Cobra insurance is very expensive but he has to have insurance. He is very proud and wont ask for help. Please pass this email on to Ellen. Thank you for any help you can give this family.My name is Faye Tackett and my phone# is 336 727 4606 |
