Last month we launched a new Facebook page and with it, we began a contest in which 5 lucky Fans of the SeamlessWeb page would each win a new iPhone.

As it turns out, there were some snags in the iPhone plan (namely that you can't buy an iPhone without activating it on the spot, which we cannot do for our winners), but that has not deterred us, as we are offering our winners iPod Nanos and free SeamlessWeb food discounts (of comparable value). This way the winners won't even be tempted to order over the phone. On that note, we are happy to announce our first 2 winners, Lori Farber and Robert George. Congratulations and thanks for being Fans of SeamlessWeb!

There are still 3 prizes remaining so be sure to become a Fan of the page and put your name in contention for the great prizes that await the winners!

SeamlessWeb is giving away 5 new iPhones this month to friends who join the awesome new SeamlessWeb page on Facebook, which we’ll be updating with all kinds of cool videos, pictures, and other SeamlessWeb content going forward. Just become a fan of the page to be entered to win one of the new 3G iPhones! Simple as that!

Last week we gave away 500 of our new t-shirts to some of our favorite SeamlessWeb members and we want to keep spreading the love by sending a shirt to the first 50 people who email us (with your size and color preference) at myseamlessweb@seamlessweb.com.  Hugs...

Be on the lookout for SeamlessWeb's super-friendly street team, which will be coming to a neighborhood near you sometime soon!  The team comes strapped with  discount cards, free umbrellas, t-shirts, magnets, chocolates, and all sorts of other goodies so be sure to stop and say hi when you see those bright red t-shirts and sunglasses this spring/summer!  MANY more pictures here!

In the past few months there's been talk of strange things afoot on the streets of New York. Like Bigfoot or Spitzer's self-respect, no-one has actual proof that these things truly exist, but we still believe. This is the best evidence we've seen so far...

Of course we're talking about SeamlessWeb's official bright red rain ponchos, which have been released into the wild by the thousands. Delivery guys across the city have supposedly been donning the red capes on their delivery routes, rendering them impervious to Mother Nature's assaults.

Now we're asking you to help us prove these things exist by providing photographic evidence. All you have to do is snap a photo of one of these ponchos in the wild, post it online, and send us the link.  We'll send a $20 coupon* to everyone who offers conclusive evidence, once and for all. We've heard that they're red and say "STAY DRY" on them, but that's all we know....

*One reward per member. Other restrictions may apply.

I was just looking over the keyword searches that have been bringing people to the blog and nearly 50% of all searches are for "SeamlessWeb promo code," "SeamlessWeb coupons," or "SeamlessWeb discounts" or some similar variation.  We have been giving away a lot of discounts and promotion codes through the blog, but I thought this would be a good time to remind everyone about our Delicious Discounts program, where hundreds of restaurants are offering 20% discounts to customers who haven't ordered from them before.  These discounts are a great incentive for you to discover some new restaurants and the 20% off covers the tip, meaning ordering for delivery through SeamlessWeb is even cheaper than picking up the food yourself!

So please do stay tuned to the blog for more promotions and discounts in the future, but remember: there are hundreds of discounts waiting for you right now!  Just look for the save 20% icons on step 2... enjoy!

Do you work in an office where people order food?

Well, if the company pays for your food, you should definitely get a SeamlessWeb corporate account.  Your company will save money and time, while you and your co-workers will never need to save receipts and fill out and submit expense report for overtime meals and/or catering orders.

If the company doesn’t pay for the food and everyone just orders on their own, you need to check out our new Virtual Café program that will give all your co-workers a 30% discount off all SeamlessWeb orders for TWO MONTHS! To help your company participate in this program, just have your office manager, controller, or head of HR email us at myseamlessweb@seamlessweb.com to get the details (very simple).

Become the most popular person in the office and spread the word about how SeamlessWeb makes life just that much easier!

As a token of our affection, we're offering 25% off your Valentine's Day order.  Enter the code VALENTINE in the promotion code box on February 14th to receive your oh-so-sweet discount.  So that we don’t make any of your other Valentines jealous (shh, we won’t tell), we’ll give them 25% off too -- just tell them about SeamlessWeb using our friend referral tool and we’ll include a code in the email they receive for 25% off a Valentine’s Day order.  And, if your friends are new SeamlessWeb members, then as soon as they place their first order you’ll also receive your $5 referal reward coupon to use later.  Mmm...

Congratulations to the Giants and their fans on that ridiculous win last night!  David Tyree will never have to buy a drink in this town ever again...

In case you were curious, Giants fans outnumbered Pats fans in our weekend survey by a 4 to 1 ratio- not all that surprising given SeamlessWeb's strong presence in New York, but interesting nonetheless.  As exhilarating as the victory of our hometown team was, we still feel bad for all the Pats fans out there who lost the undefeated season in its last minute, so here's a discount code for them to use tonight only for 20% off a SeamlessWeb order.  We hope that a good warm meal from SeamlessWeb takes some of the sting out of last night's loss...

Code:  NEXTYEAR

Giants vs. Pats? NY vs. Boston again?! You need to make sure your party is stocked with plenty of food by Ordering Early* and using SeamlessWeb to find tons of great restaurants for pizza, wings, and subs.

Just enter GIANTS or PATRIOTS to get a $20 discount for your party!**

* We recommend all food orders on Sunday be placed an extra hour early.

Another rainy day in NYC means another great chance for you to use your SeamlessWeb umbrellas!  We've already given away 400 500 umbrellas this month and have 100 left just waiting to be mailed none left for the time being.

And always remember -  umbrellas will keep you pretty dry, but ordering your meals on days like this through SeamlessWeb will always keep your socks dry and your stomach full!

Update- sorry folks, we're fresh out of umbrellas for the moment.  We'll let you know when we get more in.  Thanks to the hundreds of people who have asked for a SeamlessWeb umbrella! 

Looks like New York is in for some rain over the next couple of days, which is great news for umbrella salespeople and SeamlessWeb.

We love the rain because everyone stays inside and orders food. Now, you already know that ordering on SeamlessWeb will expedite the submission of your order to the restaurant on a day like this, but did you ever consider placing your order an extra 15-20 minutes early? Delivery food veterans like the SeamlessWeb staff know that rain and snow can slow down delivery guys on their way to your door so we always order early and give the restaurants a little more leeway than we might on a normal day.

Speaking of umbrellas, we’ll mail a limited-edition SeamlessWeb umbrella for free to anyone who wants one*. Just email your name and address to myseamlessweb@seamlessweb.com.
