I've only been hopping for about 6 months but have won 3 $10 gift certificates and a $25 fabric prize, which was 4 yards of lovely white and cream tone on tone. I wonder tho--the gift certificates I have won, were all from Canadian shops. Hope that is coincidence.

The Shop Hop is a fun way to explore different shops online, and maybe expose you to some stuff you can't find at your local shop. That's it.
If you win a prize, it's a bonus no matter what the size of the prize. It's up to you to decide if you want to redeem it, but a shop owner certainly isn't insulting you by offering it. Sheesh!

I did the hop several months and never 'won' anything. I thought it was a lot of work and hours and hours of my time, which is worth something. I'm with Scissor queen. I could better use my time piecing a quilt together. It might be a gift certificate, but it is not really a gift.

I have been doing the shop hop off and on for a year or so and i have won a $10 certificate. I bought some blenders with it. They were running a sale and said i could use both the sale and GC and told me how to use both. When i got my order, one of the pieces was short and they hadnt honored my GC. So i emailed them, they called me back, and they credited my credit card for the amount. They said their system doesnt have a place to accept the Gc. ????? Then why offer it if it's such a hassle? I still play when i have time- it gives me something to do when i'm at the coffee shop with the DH( personally i'd rather be home sewwing) and if i win, it's a bonus.

I have done the Hop for a little over 2 years and have "won" a package of 6 - 1yd pieces of fabric, a $25.00 GC and about 6 - $10.00 GCs. Only one of the $10.00 GCs didn't get used only because the shop's stock was not in my taste. Since I do a lot of online shopping I loved getting these discounts. Plus I always enjoy visiting all the shops while I watch TV.
