Amazon gives Twilighters a sweet treat

Amazon.com is celebrating its 10th anniversary with 10 weeks of sweepstakes starting today and ending in mid-December. Prizes range from $10,000 diamond earrings to a high-def home theater and a dream kitchen.

This week, Amazon is taking a stab at luring Gen Y shoppers to its site by offering two tickets to attend "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" premiere in Los Angeles and a chance to meet members of the cast.

It's not a quick and simple enter-and-run giveaway, though -- you have to create, add to, or share an Amazon Wish List to automatically be invited to enter. And then the site will surely keep tabs on your list, reminding you it's there and encouraging you to purchase.

It's smart -- they're giving a little with potential to get a lot back.
