Disclosure: I am a Windows Champions Blogger for 2014. As part of my participation in the program I will have the opportunity to try out new products and promotions.
I JUST used StubHub for RedSox tickets! Love them!
I just started doing the Bing rewards!
Shhhhh don’t tell me this. I am addicted to Windows 8 apps.
I love the Overdrive book reading app for libraries. I use it on multiple devices and can sync my books.
Guidepal would be one I’d be interested in. I love learning about hidden gems in the areas I visit.
I like the idea of knowing what’s going on in my city for a stay cation — I’l have to see if my Windows phone has this as an app.
I don’t have a Windows phone, but I’m going to be using StubHub to by baseball tickets for the end of the month! So excited to see our home team! I think my fave app is Instagram!
I’ve never thought to check out StubHub before. I’ll have to add that into the mix.
Thanks for sharing, I love earning points and rewards for simple stuff like searching.
Stub Hub sounds so cool! I can’t wait to get my hands on a Windows Phone!
