Qype rewards reviewers with Birthday Bingo

Qype, consumer reviews site, is celebrating its 5th birthday with the launch of Birthday Bingo, a six-week prize bonanza.

Attracting up to 22 million visits a month, the site is giving Qypers both old and new the chance to win fantastic prizes just for writing a review.

Every review, whether by a loyal Qyper or a new user, from 10 words to 100 words will be counted as an entry and placed in the draw with a chance to win. Prizes include the long awaited and much sought after iPad 2, Mastrad kitchen kits, a year's cinema tickets, Starbucks vouchers and more.

Each week from now until 15 May, five lucky reviewers will be selected at random and rewarded for their efforts.

Launched in 2006, Qype features independent trusted reviews and recommendations for over 1.65 million shops and services across 166,000 cities worldwide, and is fast becoming a household name.

Qype's app makes it easy for users to write reviews across a comprehensive range of services from restaurants and shops to doctors and childcare. Available free to download on all smartphones, the app allows consumers to upload reviews on the move at any time.

Says Richard Dennys, Chief Marketing Officer at Qype: "We're thrilled to be celebrating this milestone. In five years Qype has become an internet phenomenon."

"We know our success is based on the reviews our customers post, so Birthday Bingo gives us a chance to thank them, and to encourage others to get involved. Qype is about consumers empowering consumers; a new review appears on Qype every 34 seconds and through this giveaway we're hoping to generate even more."
