Dear Raymond Luxury Yacht,

Congratulations! You have been selected to receive a prize by
registering in the 2008 Nobody Outcleans The Maids Instant Win Sweepstakes,
administered by ePrize.
You have won a 20$ Omaha Steaks Gift Certificate!

Well, that at least covers the shipping......

[tomjose]

I was just wondering wat you guys used to enter the form fields in online contests? Roboform or any other software? Will the contest holder know that you are using software to fill in the form?
Thanks

[ahsalloum]

Roboform, as far as I know. Some of the big winners use it here, so I don't think it'll be a problem. :)

[AmberMoon]

Thanks

Roboform Pro is what I use, But Roboform normal is good enough and is free. I have used it for several years now and each year my prize winning balance beats the previous year


On a side note now that I have it and have used it, I was a grand prize winner of a VIP Cineplex Card good for Unlimited movies for 2 people for one year. Value roughly $7,200 if I use it every single day ( /cheer we huge movie goers)

[AmberMoon]

Congrats Ambermoon! I thought you weren't on this forum anymore, hadn't seen any posts from you in a LONG time.

Im still here, I just tend to stay out of this section and let those others occupy it, I stop in maybe one time a week to see if I missed any Contest that were not on other sites dedicated to sweeping. I tend move on to the other sections of the board. :) Im sure Ill be chatting up a storm when the next Pepsi contest comes around :)


I have to thank Ambermoon actually. She posted the Sharp Environment contest last year that allowed me to win my Sharp Aqous TV
Thanks Ambermoon

Congrats hun, Im in the market for another TV as hubby changed his mind and wants one for our bedroom ( after I sold the other one ) hopefully it will be a win and not a cash purchase lol

Congrats AmberMoon, I believe I posted that contest. Nice to see that even though I am not winning anything, someone is!

Similar prize wrong contest :) - Im not winning a lot this year but what I am winning is higher priced items so I guess at the end of the year it balances out lol.

Seeing this alot lately:

ellecanada - some contests are coming up "Restricted"

Canadianliving.com - Tivo contest - Restricted.

Somedays they work, somedays not...

The pages come up but application screen just says "restricted"

Wondering if the contests have gone 24hrs and I've doubled up by mistake?

I've had the same thing happen to me. It's because you need to wait at least 24 hour between entering.

Is it beannie baby month or something ?

I won another beannie baby from a different contest.

[cofh]

Wouldn't it figure... I've been persisting in my contest entries despite not having won anything of significance since August of last year. Finally we get a call saying we won the following in the Konica Score of a Lifetime Contest:

A trip for two (2) to the 2008 IIHF World Championship, Canada Gold Medal Game in Quebec City which includes: two (2) nights accommodation (standard double room occupancy) in Quebec City, Quebec, round trip economy airfare for two (2) from a major Canadian airport to Quebec City, Quebec, transfers to/from the Quebec airport and to/from the hockey game, two (2) tickets to the 2008 IIHF World Championship, Canada Gold Medal Game in Quebec City at Le Colisée Pepsi on May 18, 2008. Trip must be taken May 17-19, 2008. Approximate retail value of each Grand Prize $3,000 CDN

Sad thing is, we will be in Europe for two weeks during the dates of the trip so we had to forfeit the prize. :mad: At least it gives me some hope for upcoming contests.

Congrats to all the other winners here and I hope that any future winners don't have the same bad luck we had with this one!

Wasn't it kinda weird seeing a STQ instead of the usual sorry screen. It took me a second to figure out what was going on when I won.

Congrats !!

[cheleen]

LOL! It was VERY weird seeing that screen come up. It didn't even tell you what you won. You had to answer the question first, then the next page it told you! :) It was quite a long question too!!

I got the French email today also.

I emailed her yesterday and told her I faxed in the form and if there were any problems to let me know because our fax machine at work is a piece of crap. She replied telling me she'd check the fax and let me know if she needed anything else, but haven't heard back, so it must be ok.

Got this today. How appropriate for a shoe-ho like myself. Problem is it appears I actually have to be present at the draw to win (unless I'm reading this wrong) and the draw is in Winnipeg! I'm in Ontario! If anybody can see anything in this that is different from what I'm understanding, please let me know. OR, if anybody is willing to attend for me, I'd make it worth your while (if that can be done). Got all excited since I never win contests (ok I won one over a year ago worth $500) and this is for shoes after all..lol, but from what I'm reading I may not be able to accept even if my name is pulled! Here are the rules that were posted with the contest post. I'd appreciate any help!

I'm in Ontario! If anybody can see anything in this that is different from what I'm understanding, please let me know. OR, if anybody is willing to attend for me, I'd make it worth your while (if that can be done). Got all excited since I never win contests (ok I won one over a year ago worth $500) and this is for shoes after all..lol, but from what I'm reading I may not be able to accept even if my name is pulled! Here are the rules that were posted with the contest post. I'd appreciate any help!

OUR APOLOGIES FROM DOTFUSION!
Dotfusion sent the Winnipeg Town Shoes Evite across Canada by mistake.

K..normally I would look at an email like this and sent it straight to spam. BUT...it came from MochaSofa and Reader's Digest. I know MochaSofa runs a lot of contests and I've always assumed they're reputable, but...well, read for yourself and please let me know what you think. Sounds too good to be true and it doesn't name any specific contest. I do subscribe to both MochaSofa and Reader's Digest online, but it still just sounds fishy, fishy enough that I'm afraid to click on the link...lol. Has anyone received this? Know anything about it? Have any suggestions for me?

FIRST & FINAL ENTRY NOTICE
Your quick reply is essential for the chance to win the $500,000.00 prize.

Dear Xxxxx Xxxxxx,

3 minutes!

That's exactly how fast I could transfer up to $500,000.00 into the Xxxxx Xxxxxx bank account should you be named winner.

In about the time it takes to call a friend and say "I just won $500,000.00 from Reader's Digest," funds would be withdrawn from a special prize account in Montreal, and deposited directly in your bank account.

Wire transfer is the fastest and most secure prize payment method, and it guarantees that $500,000.00 will be available for your immediate disposal. You would have that option, or if you preferred, I could have the prize cheque delivered by overnight courier. The choice would be yours, and something you could start thinking about if you activate the Access Code within the next 24 hours.

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? You are the ONLY person in Canada who has been issued the 6 prize numbers we've reserved for you. And, you are the only person who can enter them into the final draw for your winning chance. Activate your Access Code right away by clicking here.

Less than 1% of households passed our strict selection criteria to receive our offer, but in your case I can definitely say:

IT’S OFFICIAL Xxxxx Xxxxxx! YOU MADE IT! But the clock is running out. Reply to this final notice email right away!

Now it’s all up to you, Xxxxx Xxxxxx -- you must make the most of your opportunity. Simply click for the Official Access Code and access the private web site to activate your Prize Draw Numbers now.

Yours truly,


Marisa Orsini
Prize Award Administrator

P.S. When people receive a Prize Draw invitation -- like the one you now have -- they often decide to discard it, thinking they won't win. Well, if you ignore your invitation, you definitely won't EVER win anything from Reader's Digest.

It takes about as much time to read this email as it does for me to transfer a $500,000.00 prize to your name. Don't let this guaranteed chance for thousands of dollars slip away. You could definitely become our next big winner.

BTW Bidchka.....congrats againnnnnn....lol! Got an extra horseshoe by any chance?:cheesygri

[AmberMoon]

Looks like spam to me.
If you won that much pretty sure it would not be in a email. Also the phrases "transfer a $500,000.00 prize to your name." are usually spam related just like the email lottery. I would simply pass it by

Nikita, I received an email much like that one about 2 weeks ago.

I activated my code number and havn't heard anything since.

Not sure if it said Only one in CANADA but it did look like the above "too good to be true".

I remember activating the code but it just sat there so I assumed it went thru.

Usually keep the important contest emails but this one got turfed so I can't repost it here, sorry.

Marisa Orsini is the name that was on my signed and endorsed Readers Cheque a few years back. While this is probably a bulk email, the chance is there to win.

[Nikita]

Thanks guys for your responses. I guess it won't hurt then to click on the link and do whatever I'm supposed to do based on what Spidey and Raycaster have said. But I won't count on anything. This week has been just so wierd for winning. First I get an email telling me I"m a finalist for a $4,000 win in the Town Shoes Shoe-aholic contest only to get one a couple hours later telling me it was a mistake! Then I get an email from Pigsback telling me I won 2000 points for the Sizzler Quizzler, only to have them fold, then this! Uggh...ohhh well, good thing I have a good sense of humor. Or maybe it's a sign I'm about to really win something...lol?

I received the same thing, although through snail mail. It also had my name on it. I think it looks alright.

[sleepegirl]

You entered the “Purina” contest on Pigsback.com and have been selected win a Canon Powershot SX100 8.0 MP Digital Camera and a Dynex 7” Picture Frame (valued at $500 CAD)!

(so long pigsback.. its been great...)couple days later i won the fit quiz on there and won a 1000 points.... now those points are only good for that fire sale thing... hope what we get is good

i gotta go and enter into more contests now lol good ol RFD got me hooked

ohh.. does anyone know by chance how long it actually takes for the prize to arrive??

[ungars3]

ohh.. does anyone know by chance how long it actually takes for the prize to arrive??

Congrats on your first win!

The prize delivery time really varies from contest to contest in my experience. Some will get it to you within a week, others actually take the 8 weeks. Most of the time they say to allow 6 - 8 weeks for delivery of the prize.

[Lone_Prodigy]

My parents get those "Publisher's Clearance" magazine subscription things all the time. Just for fun they fill out the "no purchase" option and mail it back, then a few weeks later get another letter telling them they're much closer to a prize. I wouldn't say it's a scam, but they just string you along forever.

Congratulations! You recently entered the Kellogg's Fun Pack to Go Contest, and your name has been selected by the independent judging organization to be eligible for one of the prizes.

It arrived today.

Great Job Gang!

Nice haul Bidchka, (as usual). There is a nice NERF black cover for the DS at EB that will save that badboy from scratches and dings. I got one for my kids.

I really enjoy pics of everyone's winning so heres my April Swag, minus my bag of seeds (MIA). I included the free Olympic Coins holder that just arrived yesterday from the Canadian Mint.

http://home.cogeco.ca/~lenn.price/AprilSwag.jpg

Been a slow month but I just keep up'n the entree's. Someone has to keep Bidchka honest!

[sine]

I have had an incredible dry spell lately, but I found out that I won a trip for 2 to NYC and $500 from a local contest for Westjet. Might be the biggest prize I've ever won and I was planning a trip there for this fall anyways!

Very nice bounty. I like the box of golf balls. I thought it was just a sleeve.

[slimmswitch]

Hey guys,

Just wondering do must of you find the you win mainly on Canadian contest only sites, or have you won alot with Canada/USA contests aswell?

[Raycaster]

I would guess it all boils down to the math.

Easy: Local Store and local radio stations.
Hard: Canadian Only
VERY hard: US & Canada

Contests that require some work are obviously easier to win as most people don't want to make videos or submit essays etc.

I've only been playing for 6 months and have won a Wii and Sony Stereo but both have been from contests withing 100kms of my location.

Of course, you have to "play" to win so... anything is possible.

[smith2]

Congratulations to all the recent winners.

[caper2007]

Hey guys,

Hey slimmswitch, I don't usually bother with Cda/USA contests unless the prize really intrigues me (big cash with a well-known brand name sponsor) I am a little more choosey in what I enter from south of the border since one time I started getting calls on my cell phone (used almost exclusively as a contact phone number for contests only) telling me I had "won" a vacation in Florida if I could only give them my credit card number to pay for unincluded expenses :evil:

So I tend to stick with Cda only, unless its like for a well known dish soap etc.

Good luck and have fun :)

[caper2007]

I won a $25 gas card today in the first pin I entered in the Pepsi Max contest. So of course, being so encouraged, I went straight out and bought another $5 worth of pepsi pins and nadda... so my profit is down to $20. :lol:

I've had a few other small wins since the New Year, a box of singles from Aero etc, nothing worth posting.

[bug]

hi bug! where is the contest section for these sites?

thanks

HardwareCanucks posts contest on their main page every month or so. As for Techwarelabs, this was their first contest in over a year. Their last one was in Dec 2006.

[Kalel]

Hey guys,

Just wondering do must of you find the you win mainly on Canadian contest only sites, or have you won alot with Canada/USA contests aswell?

Now I am not much of a contest junkie as some here but to find a worthwhile USA/Canada contest is very rare and from my own experience in regards to most of the contests that both Americans and Canadians can enter/win generally its a prize that might be worth less then a hundread dollars or if you live in Canada you might have to pay for it to be shipped up here. I find it interesting I have seen Canadian/USA contests where they say both can enter but when you go to fill out the entry form it does not have any provinces in the pull down and a CAnada or USA pull down. That being said I did win a trip in a Canada/USA contest ran by an American company and in the early stages the amount of American entries outweighed vastly outnumbered the amount of Canadian entries. But hey Canada got the last laugh as a bunch of Canadians beat them. Mind you some of the crazyness with the trip and events durning the trip were not that great which would cause one to think maybe they were not pleased with the outcome.

Fianlly for the most part I only open Canada only contests unless I see a realy cool Canada and USA contest or just a USA contest then ask a friend or family member who lives there if I can use their address and enter if I get thumbs up. Makes me wonder if in USA contests that allow CAnadins to enter if when they draw a name from Canada they play dumb and say oh I have to draw another name cause they do not want to deal with the hassle of sending it up here and anything else. Of course I am sure none of those contest people would ever admit toi it.

[pickmepickme]

How ironic.

"We hope that excellent service from now on will compensate for any inconvenience you have experienced."

Excellent service on what? Did they start a subscription for you anyway and expect you to pay for it?

I stopped entering eprize contests awhile ago, because they just seem so unprofessional and untrustworthy.

Congrats on all of your other wins though.

Did anyone check winfreetickets this week to see if they won the REM tickets?

Anyone notice the winning name?

The same person that posts on her popular contest web page she rarely has time to enter contests anymore?

hmmm... congrats to her as she deserves it for all the help she has provided others but...

To her credit she mentions very little information about the winning site.

[slimmswitch]

Sorry guys just one more question about prizes winnings,

I've one a instant prize before where i answer the skill testing question at home (via internet or release form that i print out) and then send the release form.

But for those that have one more contests, do you find the notify first via email with the release forms with STQ? or do they call and ask you the STQ?

Or with phone calls they just dont ask the STQ?

Just wondering.

Slimmswitch

If they call you with the win, they usually ask you the STQ on the phone right then and there. Since my husband isn't very good at math, I usually enter the contests all in my name so that we won't lose out on a prize because he got the answer wrong, lol. He is much better than I am at other subjects though, so can answer all of the kids questions on science and nature.

[caper2007]

I've learned that its a good idea to keep a (quiet) secret calculator next to the phone at all times :cheesygri

[Bidchka]

Whoo Hoo!! I just played The Maid Home Services Instant Win contest and got the skill testing question, then it said "you won a gift certificate for a The Maids Home Services one-time regular maid service clean!"

They do not have these anywhere in my area, so it looks like I will get the cash equivalent as stated in the rules!!

Anyone know how long it takes to get the email from them confirming your win?? http://themaids.eprize.net/sweeps2008/index.tbapp

**Edited to add the email just came!!

TWENTY FIVE (25) FOURTH PRIZES: One (1) gift certificate for a The Maids Home Services one-time regular maid service clean. Certificate must be redeemed before September 30, 2008. Winners outside of The Maids Home Services service territories, as determined by sponsor in its sole discretion, will receive the cash equivalent. ARV: $150 USD.


Take a look at what happened to my "The Maids" prize win. I hope EPrize actually fulfills their commitment to you.

Let me know how it turns out.

[TYinYVR]

Bidchka I would send the letter back to eprize or themaids.com here (http://www.maids.com/aspx/contact.aspx)

Because usually if they give a GC away from a US based company. They give Canadians a GC for a Canadian based company. I know for another contest they gave away Target GC but for Canadians they gave a HBC or Chapters GC. But maybe that was just the sponsor of that contest.

cheleen I think you should be ok because if you goto their website and enter your location. There have Canadian locations. At lease there is a couple in Vancouver. But I don't know about your area. I sure you can give it away to someone who can use it as birthday gift if you can't use it yourself.

As for stq I have never answer a question by phone. Most of the instant wins is by email but for the major ones I always had to fax my release and question back to them. And the American Questions are usually way harder then the Canadian one.

[Bidchka]

Bidchka I would send the letter back to eprize or themaids.com here (http://www.maids.com/aspx/contact.aspx)


I replied to the confirmation email and I received a response 20 minutes ago. They tell me I entered my full address and then entered United States as my country. From here, I should contact Good Housekeeping and "update my mailing address".

First off that's a bunch of horseshirt. Of course I entered Canada and not only that, the letter I got from GHK clearly had Canada in the mailing address. ePrize screwed up again and is trying to pass the buck.

So what am I supposed to do according to them, call up GHK and say "Hi it's Jeff and this my updated mailing address. So you can now send me my free years subscription."

That'll fly :!:

[Bidchka]

They really suck at customer service. Can somebody tell me how I could have put United States down in the registration form like they said I did.

My check arrived today from this contest! $150 check because there is not a Maids Home Service anywhere in my area. Nearest one is almost 4 hours away. The check is drawn on bank in Omaha, NE, so it is in US funds. :)

I do think they will fix your prize. Maybe try phoning the head office of the Maids directly as the contest is sponsored by them. There is a phone number on their contact page you can try.....

You can reach The Maids International, corporate office of The Maids Home Services, by writing or calling:
The Maids International
4820 Dodge Street
Omaha, NE 68132
(800) 843-6243

If that doesn't work there is a phone number (not a 1-800 number) on the "congratulations" letter they sent me. It has the same address as listed above. I can PM it to you if you like.


EDITED to add... Good Housekeeping subscriptions ARE also available to Canada so it should be easily sorted out.

[Kalel]

In my own experience most of the contests I enter have some sort of skill testing question on the entry form. I do keep a calculator by the phone but you should know I have had skill testing math question (there are non math ones and I have gotten some of those) anyway BEDMAS is not always right. I won a Grey Cup prize pack and they gave me a math question and I used BEDMAS and they told me I was wrong but thankfully they gave me a second chance and even told me to us which sounded like BADXS and di the math question based on that and they told me I was right.

[Bidchka]

CONGRATULATIONS!

I'm a bit disappointed. Take a look at the gallery from a Henkel/Lepage "Ultimate Fan Contest" http://www.powerplayers.ca/enUltimateFanGallery.aspx The rules clearly state that the picture MUST include you and you MUST be age of majority in your province or territory. The winner is the first picture on the third row. He doesn't look old enough in any province or territory I'm aware of. It was only a $500 cash prize so I hope he buys himself something cool with the money but I wish they had stuck to the rules.

BTW, I'm in they gallery and no I'm not the guy with the shaved 3 on his back.

Is it just me or is the digital camera stipulation part of the prize a stupid thing. What if you do not take enuff pictures or satisfactory pics they will come to your door and say we want our camera back. Dumb.

Well before I tell you what I won or will win. I will not be getting it till mid June I have this to share including myself the contest I won had 99 other people enter. Of those other 99 97 of them did noit do supply everything they needed for a chance to be eligable for a prize so they were disqualify which meant the 3 prizes that were going to be awarded but of myself and the other 2 entries I was the only won to win since the other 2 could not give an answer to the skill testing question. With that I won from Rogers Community Tv a 32 inch Sony Flat Screen TV which is good cause my recent tv is on it's last legs. Like I said they will not be able to get it to me till mind June but it will be worth it and I am hoping the delay means it wil be one of the newer ones that hits the stores around that time. The cool thing is I am not working and have been trying to save for a new TV but now that I won this I can use the money I saved towards something else.

Turns out great since I was planning on heading there today to pick up the tickets to Don't Mess with the Zohan that I won last week from them!

[ungars3]

Hum... well they didn't mention anything when I was talking with them. I don't know if the movie tickets actually count as a win though, since it was through the Bear Rock Rewards program. I won the tickets in one of their online auctions, technically I bought the tickets with Rock Rewards Points. But in the e-mail they sent me they said I ''won''. I guess I'll find out if I have to chose then I get there, if it comes down to it, Bluesfest all the way.

Have not won from Dose yet but when I have won from tribute it usually just arrives no email or call but then again its only been passes

[cofh]

This is the first big win of the year.

We are the winners of the Carlsberg be Part of the Game contest. Prize is a trip for two (2) to Vienna, Austria. Trip includes: round trip economy air fare for two (2) from a major Canadian airport closest to the Prize winner's place of residence in Canada (hereinafter referred to as the "Departure Point"); two (2) nights 3- or 4-Star accommodation (based on one (1) room, double occupancy) as chosen by the Contest Sponsors, plus two (2) tickets to Match 30 of the UEFA EURO 2008 (Semi-Final).

ARV $15,000.00 (sounds like a lot for a two day trip).

So we'll be tired when we return, but it'll be fun. The wife is a little anxious about it because she has to present the Man of the Match Trophy, but it was a requirement for accepting the prize.

WOOHOOO!

Ah, congrats cofh! I would kill to go the Euro Cup! :eek:

[Kalel]

Boy at the end of the trip you are sure going to have one wicked case of jet lag. When you look how long to get there and back and who knows how much sleep you will get once there. Unless the trip is 4 or less hours away and more then 2 nites I will not enter. I find it interesting alot of trips for contests I have seen been 2 nites or less.

Anyway have a interesting trip.

[Kalel]

Lets just hope you get your Hulk pass in time for it still to be good I can remember a vast majority of times I won passes from Tribute by the time I got it the pass was no longer any good becuase the movie was no longer at the chain the pass was for or the movie was out of theatre.

On a side note to go with my big TV contest notification from last wek I got notified of 2 more contests wins today. I was a runner up in a Star Wars usa contest. They will not tell me the prize they want to keep it as a surp[rise but the value of the prizes are from $10 up to $1000. Also from the Toronto Star I won was one of the winners of there Mysterys of Mars contest. Its alot of events surounding the new IMAX Mars movie, the new Science Centre exibit and other stuff approximate value $150. Hoping to get notification next week re when I will get my new tv and if not the model number and specs on it.

They will not tell me the prize they want to keep it as a surp[rise but the value of the prizes are from $10 up to $1000. Also from the Toronto Star I won was one of the winners of there Mysterys of Mars contest. Its alot of events surounding the new IMAX Mars movie, the new Science Centre exibit and other stuff approximate value $150. Hoping to get notification next week re when I will get my new tv and if not the model number and specs on it.

Boy at the end of the trip you are sure going to have one wicked case of jet lag. When you look how long to get there and back and who knows how much sleep you will get once there. Unless the trip is 4 or less hours away and more then 2 nites I will not enter. I find it interesting alot of trips for contests I have seen been 2 nites or less.

Anyway have a interesting trip.

Yeah don't I know it. The irony of it is that last month I was in Budapest on vacation and had planned to go to Vienna for a couple of days. We ran out of time and didn't get a chance to go. SO I guess we'll get our day trip after all. It'll be an experience that's for sure.

All my hardcore Euro fan friends are eating their hearts out.

Ah, congrats cofh! I would kill to go the Euro Cup! :eek:

I did not realize movies were so expensive in BC or is there something you get on top of the passes?

[pickmepickme]

I've seen that before and I thought that it was because they considered an advance screening more valuable than a regular ticket.

[AmberMoon]

Firstly, Congrats on your surprise.. I have won major prizes where no STQ was given for whatever reason (employees who just don't care?) and have had prizes delivered within a few days of notification. So it is completely possible it could be from that contest BUT no one will know until you got item in hand and see the paperwork that should arrive with it .. It could even be something your spouse didn't tell ya they bought :P

Congrats again

This is a horrible thing to have happened to someone and it immediately brought to mind the person who was called to say they were bringing a package to her, yet she didn't know of any contest that she had won.

Sweet. Nice to see all the winning on here

[WandaJean]

thanks..but it is a bulit-in dishwasher and there is no place in my apartment for it...a very nice prize..but I can't use it...I don't think they would appreciate me cutting out space in the kitchen lol.
I thought is was a portable one:(

[Nikita]

Wanda Jean, have you spoken with the contest sponsors about that? I've heard of a few instances that lead me to believe that reputable companies will try to accomodate issues such as yours, even though the rules always say 'prize must be accepted as is' or w/e it is they say....lol. They may be willing to change the prize and give you a portable one. I believe they're less expensive anyway, so they might be willing to entertain the idea.

What a great prize, congrats on the win, now let's just hope you can actually get it...cuz it sucks to win something and not get, even more than not winning at all...lol...at least IMO!

Congrats to you too marksmom!

[WandaJean]

I am not even 100% positive the contest I posted was the one I won it from, I have it in my apartment living room right now. I got no company or contest info with the box, just Scratch Sweeps 90 Yrs or something like that..no contact no nothing.

You have the dishwasher in your living room? They just delivered it? Didn't you have to sign a waiver first? If so, you could sell it and still be a winner, after all it's brand new, you'd probably end up with a pretty good win even by selling it for less than it's worth. Then, if you really want one, you could go buy yourself a portable dishwasher with the proceeds...and live happily ever after....lol.

[WandaJean]

I only signed the delivery papers, no waiver, no stq, and I wouldn't even know what to sell it for its 429.00 on the site I listed.

Nice to see Spidey back on the board!

I think Spidey was the one to inspire me to take up this bad habit!

I also won a pass for 4 to the screening of Get Smart but I got it 3:30 the day of...They forwarded a pdf file for the pass but seeing that it was 4 hours till the show and 40 miles away... Also the fine print mentions that it is not responsible for over booking.

In the future can those pdf files be given away or is my name in print waiting at the theatre?

I just won an exercise mat from the Dairy Farmers contest... not a 'great' prize but instant wins are always good!

[slimmswitch]

No name needed... Just give them the print out, and they ask how many tickets you want.

P.S. It was a good movie..

AnnaBanana was there a special pattern you used lol? Damn been trying for 3 weeks and winners seem to be on several sites but I've been shut out! Some people have won more than once but after 20 tries I think I matched only a pair twice!

A person on another site said they won for the second time the very day the first prize was delivered!

I thought with Bidchka in Paris the rest of us could start winning. :twisted:

He probably hit a internet cafe everyday to keep up on the contests!

[cofh]

Just won a pedometer in the Dairy Farmers Winners Every Day Contest.

Anyone here who has won this think it is worth the postage to get it?

Thanks Wind-Up Records & SunTV !!

Thanks for asking.

It was alot of fun. So much history and many sites to see everywhere.

Yeah, I actually kept up with the larger contests. I probably shouldn't be saying this, but the chill.ca winner also brought their laptop and kept up with their contests daily too.

It's too bad the main sponsor doesn't open up their contests to Canadians because they have a similar trip to every city on Seether's current world tour.

Congrats to all the wins lately! Twitchyq... a win is a win is a win... i think ANY win is a good win! (Ok so some are clearly better than others... paris... whistler...switzerland..!) - but still, i've been entering Dose.ca contests FOREVER and have never won any of them, so congrats!

[TYinYVR]

I talked to the contest person about my trip to Whistler.

I'm staying at the The Westin Resort (http://www.starwoodhotels.com/westin/property/overview/index.html?propertyID=1199&iATANumber=), and taking The Whistle Mountaineer (http://www.whistlermountaineer.com/)up from Van. I still don't know if I should go in Aug or maybe the second weekend in Sept after the holiday.

And yes I have won trips before, to LA for the Peoples Choice Awards and the Grammys. But I been to LA so many times (Like 12) And it looks like I'm going to be going down to LA again this fall. I don't enter contests for trips there any more. I rather go somewhere I have never been before.

Well I got a sorta unexpected surprise today. A little while I go I reported that I won a 32 inch HD LCD TV from the Rogers Spot the Logo contest. Now first and foremost it got delivered on Tuesday second of all based on the rules and communication it sounded like I had the set that retails for between $800 and $900. So when I got it up to my place since I do not have a proper stand for it I kept it in the box but took out the packing slip to see what model it was so I can research its features in case besides the stand stand I need anything else. Here's the surprise I was only able to find info about it on the Future Shop and Sony websites. FS had it listed at $1200 before tax and Sony $1300. Its the most recent set and its a BRava so I got a lot bigger and beter prize then expected plus to make amends for the delay in getting it to me they threw in a Rogers TV fleece sweat top. Originally I thought I might of sold it to a friend to get a slightly smaller set since my place is not that big but noiw that it seems it is real kick ass set I might have to try to figure out away to keep it.

[Spidey]

I hope you don't mean tonight's 6/49 Spidey....cuz nuh uh...I'm already holding the winning ticket...:lol:

Gotta get positive. Attitude like that won't win you anything.

I've been playing the Dairy Farmers contest since it was posted, and only just won yesterday. It's the only thing I've won all month (June was looking like it was going to be an "empty" month). Celebrate the wins of your fellow RFD'ers and we'll do the same when you win something :)

Question for everyone thats won a contest...

Do you find that contests normally call/email on the day of the draw or do they usually wait a week or so to notify the winners?

Everyone is different. The guy said he was supposed to wait till next week, but he thought it would be a good call for the long weekend.

He was pretty funny, must be a prerequist to work for Comedy Central

[jopojo]

Guys, I was wondering, when you get contest wins, how do the contest sponsors contact you? Is it usually a phone call, or is it though email?

I'm afraid of picking up the phone (even though I have caller ID :cheesygri) because I do not like dealing with telemarketers. I think that I may have missed out on contest wins because I do not pick up the phone if a caller is listed as a private or unknown listing.

Email would be a pretty easy way to get a hold of most people IMO.

[kcotoulas]

Get your paperwork printed from the online site. Come into the office with everything filled out and the proper documentation ready, otherwise they send you home. Since it's open, you probably won't be able to get a rush on it done. Not a big deal since it takes only a couple of weeks. I believe you can choose between mail to your house or pickup at the office. I had mine mailed to my home.

Ok, today Im having a really good day.

1. Win My zohan new York trip
2. My hot tub rental I won for the long weekend is being setup for my party tonight.
3. I get Monday off for a 4 day weekend
4. I just got back from the post office, I got a $190 refund cheque from the gas company. IM on equalized payments and they used the old owners as my base cost per month and I guess Im more energy conscious then they were

So im thinking some days are just GOOD

[TYinYVR]

For my whistler trip I got a phone call and email. The stq was on the entry form so I didn't have to do one. Just signed the press release. The us site that I won my other trip from. Had a stq in the millions. And I had to fax the answer back, the question wasn't over the phone.

Congrats Spidey. Maybe you can meet up with Mary Jane in the cable car over New York. :)

I have won stuff with no calls or e-mails telling me that I won a prize. Sometimes in the rules it states how they will contact winners and finally that I have won stuff where for the math question the methodf was not BEDMAS. On a side note did anyone hear about the lady who was awarded a prize in one of their contests even though she got it wrong both times but was able to proove she had a disabilty.

Its usually really easy to discover if the person is a telemarketer. As soon as i notice that, i say "No thanks" and hang up. I use to be very polite until i realized that they keep talking until u actually hang up the phone. So now I do, my wife still tries to be polite and sometimes it takes minutes to get off the phone :lol:

As a former employee of the call centre industry, I can tell you that the most powerful thing you can say is "Please put me on your company's do not call list". Most call centres are 3rd party; by asking to be put on the company do not call list, you can't be called for any of the companies they represent. Keep in mind it may take a few days to a month for this to go through. You may also want to go to the Canadian Marketing Association website

http://www.the-cma.org

They have a do not contact list for their members, although the telephone supression service will be phased out once the National DNC list starts in Fall 2008.

I have been home on a pretty constant basis since being laid off in February. I've entered my name and phone number on thousands of forms over the years. I have had a grand total of 5 telemarketing calls this year so far (most recent asking me if I wanted my ducts cleaned). One thing I make a point of is to never check the box asking if I'd like to allow "specially selected partners" to contact me....that might be working. :)

Cheers,

[Bidchka]

People always ask about how contests contact winners.

I was called yesterday for a win in the Real Cream Corner contest that ended May 31st. I won a Cusinart Pure Indulgence Frozen Yogurt / Ice Cream Maker. The call came from an unknown number. The rules stated they could call or email and if they can't reach you within 5 days, another entrant will be selected. The draw was suppose to be done on June 16. No idea if they had tried someone else by phone previously or not. Would they have emailed me if we had been away and not answered the phone? Who knows. I always answer my phone and never screen my calls for this reason. Takes only seconds to hang up on a recording or telemarketer. Maybe some sponsors only try once to get in touch? I don't know. For me, it is not worth missing that call! (For our $75,000 Campbell's win, we were notified by phone as well. And that was in the early evening when you would not expect a contest win call!) :)

2. (a) Participants are eligible to win one (1) of five (5) Prizes, each having an approximate retail value of $99.00 and consisting of a Pure Indulgence™ Frozen Yogurt-Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker (ICE 30BCC series)

Sad, it's my biggest win since the last pepsi contest...

[Nikita]

I recieved a full size Physician's Formula Organic Wear Bronzer for being one of the first 1000 recipients to sign up for it (Flare Magazine). Very nice, perfect color and real nice packaging...lol. I've bought this brand before so I'm guessing it's about $25-$30 retail, so not much of a win, but a win nontheless...:)

[TYinYVR]

I just got a call from the Metro Concourse contest.

I won the $500 GC

I picked it up today. I was thinking of getting a Digital SLR. My wife was thinking Digital Camcorder. The married guys know it'll be the camcorder. :o

Digital single lens reflex camera. A really good digital camera, I'll let someone else go into more specifics if they want to.

After I won the $1000 Walmart GC, my wife was upset with me that I was thinking of spending it on 50" Plasma TV. She has since "allowed" me to buy whatever I want. I made the agreement with her that if I havent won a TV by Christmas and finally finish the basement, I can buy it. She knows that I've always wanted to win a TV (damn the hours I have wasted on the Pepsi contest) and I enter these contests so it really should be my choice. I would hate to buy normal everyday things from Walmart and use up the GC without having anything to show for it. And I know that come Boxing day, if I buy the TV, she wont be thrilled with me but at least I'll have my TV. :cheesygri

[Andrew_Hanna]

Gratz on the wins guys

[Bidchka]

I'm a wife who doesn't even know what a DSLR is? Could someone fill me in?

It's one of those cameras that you can attached various lens to it and you get a much higher quality picture. Basically they are high end digital cameras.

Honestly, it's just staying positive and having positive karma. if I win something I don't need, I offer it up ( ie: mp3's, tickets to events etc.. ) that way it will be returned in spades to you.

don't get down, it's not christmas everyday.. just enjoy it when the prizes role in.

[WandaJean]

I am always thinking positive...well about the contests anyways. I am always giving (some of)my wins and freebies to family friends. I even have little contests of my own lol. I just wrapped up some lush products to send to a friend since I ordered doubles lol.

On another forum I gave away about 20 Tim cards and about 5 other GC's from pigsback. I have given lots of stuff away on there.
Do you enter contest where you don't want/need the prize but can always pass it along?

Thanks friends. Believe me I tried for the DSLR. The wife won this time.

I even woke up early today and stood in line @ Henry's for their gift certificate contest. Did anyone else do it ? What did you win ? I won a $10 GC. Problem is, Henry's is extremely overpriced, all I could get was batteries. But I saw two very very happy participants. Each walked away with the $500 GC They got the DSLR I wanted ( $479 + taxes )

Congrats to them !!

Congratulations! Look who's won free stuff in the Crush Hollywood studios Tour Contest. that's right, you've already recieved the picture frame, and this package contains an additional prize.

But first, we got a little explaining to do. In the prize section on the website, we told you that you could win a crush branded picture frame, but after you entered your PIN, we told you that you won a digital picture frame. Well, we made an error and we're sorry if we created come confusion. So were setting the record straight - we're giving both picture frames. And, because we know you enjoy the bold flavourful taste of crush we're giving you coupons for free crush 12 packs!!!!

[Nikita]

Would it earn me a date if I could ? :lol:

ROFL! Good one! I know I'd be impressed with a man in good enough shape to be able to do that!

If there's one of these places in Windsor and you're really not going to use it, I'll woman up and offer to take it off your hands....lol! I know, I know, I'm soooo generous...hehe! I love dance and have wanted to try yoga. Are the dance tickets for ballet by any chance?

Anyway, I'm sure you must know somebody who'd be interested in using the tickets. Sell them or give them away.

I won 2 tickets to tonights premier of "The Dark Knight". Sounds like it is going to be a great show! :)

Congratulations! Look who's won free stuff in the Crush Hollywood studios Tour Contest. that's right, you've already recieved the picture frame, and this package contains an additional prize.

But first, we got a little explaining to do. In the prize section on the website, we told you that you could win a crush branded picture frame, but after you entered your PIN, we told you that you won a digital picture frame. Well, we made an error and we're sorry if we created come confusion. So were setting the record straight - we're giving both picture frames. And, because we know you enjoy the bold flavourful taste of crush we're giving you coupons for free crush 12 packs!!!!

Looks like I'm a potential winner in the 2008 MTV Movie Awards Contest. Free movies every week for a year. $600 value. I just recieved the email.:cheesygri


In the spirit of keeping a campaign promise, I'm posting in here that I won an award for Favourite Off-Topic Poster ($50 GC, plaque and Tshirt). K...promise fulfilled...lol.

If it's just tickets, you will likely be sitting next to me.

I just received my first "second" email from the Green P parking contest and it seems that they want us to pick up the prizes. I have now won 5 of these gift certificates (total of over $1,000), and even though the rules don't state a one prize per person, I'm going to be very embarrassed picking up so many! I already feel greedy about winning so much (and that's why I only posted 2 wins here), but don't know if I can actually go into their office and claim so many.

Do any of the other multiple winners in this contest feel this way too?

:(

Spam filter maybe? I figured they'd phone me.

I've had some major wins end up in my spam folder with no phone calls. Always scan your spam folder and check emails often, have seen some contests where they only give you a couple days to respond also. Dont give up just yet sometimes it takes some time for them to even notify you after the promotion has ended. Good luck

My first contest win was at like two months after entering contest...and it was $10 kitty litter. Most contests winners arent chosen for a couple weeks after contest ends. Dont give up and you will win plenty. Patience :)

DON'T QUIT YOUR DAY JOB

Leave the jokes to people who get paid to tell them.

Hehe nice to see everyone winning these days.

As for me, I got fired from my job for entering contests, so no more contest entering for me. Six accounts, over 200 contests meant 4-5 hours a day even with roboform. I've moved from big city Vancouver to Saint John, New Brunswick to start all over again. At least I got to enjoy my trip to Barbados after the pink slip.

The only contest I'll be entering is the annual Pepsi one in October/November, so I'll see everyone then. ;)

It takes a while. I've been back entering "hardcore" since April. Here are my winnings:

April 2008: Poynt Music Downloads (2) and 2 Movie Passes

May 2008

Weetabix 3 months subscription to Style at Home Mag
MSN Music Download from Nestle Blue Freezer Contest

June 2008

June 26 - Dairy Farmers Winner every day - pedometer w/am/fm radio

July 9 - Logitech - 5 Puretracks downloads
July 11 - Tic Tac - 1 Puretracks download
July 18 - Maple Leaf Fresh Grill - $20 Grocery Gift Card instant win (from mail-in NPE)

Think positively, enter many contests, do an occasional Non-purchase entry, and don't dwell on winning! Have fun with it!

It is all pure luck (with the exception of the annual Pepsi contest :P if you don't sleep you're guaranteed a prize). So far I haven't received any winning confirmation by phone, but I never pick up the phone unless I know the number because our house gets spammed by these promotional/telemarketing numbers all the time, frankly I got tired of answering them.

Anyways, never give up! Enter in the contests that have prizes you are interested in, you don't want to win something that you don't want lol I don't think that would be very satisfying. You're bound to win something one day, look at AmberMoon :P Grr I'm so jealous!!! You are the Pepsi-winning-goddess period

Thanks to RFD I spammed contests for about 2 weeks straight and finally gave up for awhile.

Today was my lucky day, Mentos called me and told me I won the secondary prize of $100. I am very pleased. It even went past the expiry date because their emails were going in my spam folder.

Thanks RFD! I am now $100 richer.

[pickmepickme]

What does spamming contests mean?
:confused:

[scottyoung02]

Just responding to every post on the boards. I call it spamming because I have no recollection which ones I even entered.

Doh, should never do that. Keep entering just do it on your time, even if you only get one or two in a day,. thats 1 or 2 more chances then you would have had not entering.

/shakes head Just pure luck. Lets see if I can pull 5 for 5 this year /crossing my fingers ) Pepsi contest has to be my most favorite contests to win from.

On a side note, you should really answer your phone because you could be passing up prizes if they are calling and you are not answering, they could simply move on to the next name. Not all wins are just sent or email notification. When I won my trip to Tokyo they only phone once before they moved on to the next winner. I answer no matter what and if its a solicitation call I simply tell them to please remove me from their list and do not call again and I do not have many unwanted calls and I enter thousands of contests a year for the last 4+ years

Anyways Good luck and see ya in Oct :evil:

[Lone_Prodigy]

Pepsi contest is all luck... I entered every day last year and won nothing.

[kcotoulas]

Agree completely. Two years ago, me and my wife both won 360's and last year nothing. Mind you last years contest was alot cheaper than most years contests with something like 20 out of every 24 prizes being NHL 07. And I had no interest in the videogame. Hoping for alot more real prizes this year. Last years contest ran from September 9, 2007 to November 3, 2007, so we are getting close

[Softprog]

Just a quick note about the Hershey Light the bat contest.
The TV is not the 42PC5D like the contest page states but the more recent 42PG20 model.

I agree. Learning about the history of an area is very fascinating. In my area of Yonge/Major Mac, they have these plaques all over the streetscape depicting what the area used to be used for and such. Most of my area was a tulip farm about a hundred years ago.

Today was lucky for me my husband and I both won bottles of Coke:cheesygri

[SCRawl]

Last week, I won a contest (from the Fan 590 radio station in Toronto), the prize for which was to throw out the first pitch for last Friday's Toronto Blue Jays game. I also got to meet the "Marias" from "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria", as they were singing the anthems, and Larry Miller, who was there to promote the "Just For Laughs" shows last weekend.

There were actually two "first pitches": mine and a comedian/actor, Craig Robinson (from the American version of "The Office"). Unfortunately, due to a mix-up, I was announced for his pitch, and he was announced for mine. It threw my wife for a momentary loop to see, after I'd been announced to throw the pitch, a large black man step out of the truck to do so. (I'm a relatively scrawny pale man, in case the scene isn't sufficiently set.) Still, a fun time was had, and I'll have the memories until I inevitably succumb to dementia. Oh, and I can definitely say that the Blue Jays are undefeated when I throw out the first pitch. Well, the second first pitch.

[smith2]

Congratulations everyone on their contest wins, this is sure turning out to be a very lucky board.

Errr....... sounds a bit fishy. Do you remember a FedEx contest with $100,00 and a KIA car? Also, if all the contacts are in the UK, why are they awarding dollars? I would contact someone at FedEx or KIA.

Or, give me the $400 and I will work it all out for you. :)

Hey! That's the same guy who delivered my U.S. $143 million spanish lottery cheque when I won.

I'm so happy because I was the second runner up, but the 1st place winner thought it was some sort of scam and didn't send in the $4,000.00 prize claim fee - what a dope!

Now the only reason I read this thread is so that I can hear my laughter echo through the halls of my 112 room mansion when Bidchka posts the details of one of his many, many wins of puny little prizes. Haaa haaa haaa!

Enjoy your new KIA and $100K raymondly! ;)

And I wish everyone here would win at least once a week. That would be so amazing. Let's all think positively and maybe it can happen, eh Spidey ?

To be honest, I am pretty sure alot of the RFDers are winning alot they are just not posting their wins for one reason or another.

[WandaJean]

I myself usually only post the bigger wins and well since the last win I had was a 5.00 indigo online gift certificate...I didn't bother.
I would be more than happy to post a big win...its going to happen...I just wonder if RFD will still exists when it does.....lol....or should I say...I willl win the big one...when hell freezes over and I am invited to the skating party...hehehe....just kidding..I always think postive...thats why I enter so many.
Good luck to all

[Kalel]

Just curious what do you classify as a big win? Is it something with of value of $100 or more or something you won in a contest that only had one winner or something else?

[WandaJean]

I would classify big as anything more than a e-giftcertificate.... lol...I guess my biggest win( most valueable) was the wakeboard.

I won a secondary prize last month from the "Ford Great Escape" contest to meet Gretzky in Phoenix that included 2 shirts, a jacket, a HNIC bag and a bookk called "By the numbers" (good read btw). I know its nothin special, but it was won when I went on RFD for the first time and just entered in a bunch of contests for a couple hours :) Ive since joined and Im gonna spend just a couple hours a week entering just to see what happens. After all, someones gotta win...... :) I tend to have pretty good luck with radio contests. But yeah, thanks again for the contest postings, appreciate it

To be serious - just for a second - I agree that your attitude plays a huge part in your success (not only in winning contests) and I appreciate that you and other RFDers take the time to post all of the contest opportunities. It's fun to read about everyone's wins. :)

Now back to my life as a jaded mega-lottery winner! :D

[Bidchka]

I post everything simply because it reassures those RFD contest entrants that haven't won, that people do in fact win and all you have to do is stay positive and enter regularly. Sometimes the prize is a book or cd and sometimes it's a trip. Whatever the prize, stay the course and you will win.

[kcotoulas]

this is my favorite thread to read because of all the wins, even small ones. seeing someone win in a contest, gives me extra excitement in continuing to enter that contest.

[raymondly]

Now the only reason I read this thread is so that I can hear my laughter echo through the halls of my 112 room mansion when Bidchka posts the details of one of his many, many wins of puny little prizes. Haaa haaa haaa!

Enjoy your new KIA and $100K raymondly!


You are correct, however, my mansion echoes with the sounds, of salesmen. Of salesmen.....

I won free movies for a year in June, under tribute.ca for the Forgetting Sarah Marshall Contest. She gave me 104 passes, however can only go to Empire theatres and there are only 3 theatre around toronto area, not even in toronto :(

That's an awesome win. Be sure to enjoy it as much as possible. Take in a movie a week. Does it include pop and popcorn ?

It's true... I bet theres tons of people on here that don't post their winnings. Last year, I wasn't even trying to win contests, but I managed to snag a $450 MP3 player and a $1500 laptop. This year, I've gotten hardcore into contests and I have done too badly so far. I've just started in June and pretty much have won something every month since. Not to mention TONS of free pop and other small things too that I don't post up. People make their own luck here.

[cqueen2]

When I got my free/won my free passes from AMC I shared some of them with important family and friends in my life. In return some of them have done things for me like treat me to movies that do not show at AMC, dinners and other things. I usally try to if I can share any prizes I win with friends or family. I know some might call me Earl but I think its good karma. As for contests I generally share info with friends and or family cause I feel if I cannot win I am happy if a person I told about the contest won.

Back to entries as I have stated as of a few years ago I satarted a computer journal where anytime I win something worth $10 or more. I do not enter everything nor enter more then once (after all most I enter you can only enter is once). This year has been a good one for me I usually average a few thousand every year and this year I am around $2500 and still have about 25 % of the year to go. HaHa as I typed this checking one of my e-m accounts and have been notified I won a gift card from Rexall for a contest that ended in May. Top prize is 1 of 10 $1000 or one of 20 $ 250 ones. Will call them them durning business hours to see what I won. Should be useful either way I have some B-days coming up and gift card can help me with some of the gifts since I am not working right now.

So basically guys the marketing/contest firm Precision Marketing that ran the Green P contest is not a company worth dealing with. As most of you know, they decided to change the rules to the contest without informing anyone and then decided that they wouldn't award the prizes. I received this email today.

Congratulations on all your wins in the Green P contest, unfortunately due to the contest rule changes as of July 15, 2008 there is a limit of 3 prizes per household, therefore we must disallow your win dated July 29, 2008.

I'd call GreenP and complain -they probably don't know what their promo. company did. 416-393-7275

I read the rules when I enter the first time, not after entering for 2 months, so if they changed it who would know?

[slimmswitch]

Marketing and Promotions People like that really erk me... They make the contests holders/sponsers look so unprofessional. Just like when GolTV changed the rules of the "Best Goal Scream"contest on the last day of the contest...

ouch, I would also contact Green P and go over the marketing company. I would search google for the Cache Page of the rules

Keep us posted

Why would you bother? From the sounds of it Bidchka had said he didn't really have need for the prizes, so why kick up a fuss over them if you don't really care about them?

They didn't just change the rule overnight either. I noticed that they had changed the rule to three prizes around the date they mentioned. Most of these companies have some kind of clause that reserves the right to change the rules during the promotion.

Now if they were trying to screw him out of all his prizes or change something after the release forms had been filled out and accepted, I would consider that a problem.

When I won the GM Apprentice contest I filled out the forms to accept my trips and the release forms clearly stated that they all included $1000 spending money. After I faxed the forms back and they began booking the trips, they tried to tell me the $1000 spending was not included. Luckily I had a copy of the original rules, pointed to the clause in the signed release that stated that spending money was included and kicked up enough of a fuss, that they were forced to give it to me.

I don't think it's worth the hassle for a prize you don't really want, nor does it necessarily reflect the worth of the marketing company. Who knows, it could have been some summer student responsible for sending out the release forms and was not aware of the rule change.

If they had already received the release for the fourth prize and accepted it, I would say they SHOULD award the prize, but if not, I would say they aren't really obligated. It's sketchy but not enough to blacklist the company altogether.

That's my feeling anyway.

I would have to agree with you on the point that the prize isn't worth the hassle. I would consider it, lesson learned.

Okay I'm not crying foul here and do not post as much many but more times then not I have noticed sometimes when I reply to something or post something I might not get a reply. Now are they just overlooked or are my posts to wordy and thats why nothing is said re them? I am not saying I would expect a reply or acknoweldgement for every post but it makes me wonder.

The more notable prizes I've won from random single-entry draws in the last year are:
- 30 GB iPod Video (worth ~$300 at the time)
- MacBook (13.3" white Core 2 Duo, worth ~$1500 at the time)
- OKI Data B2540 MFP (worth ~$300 at the time)
- US$50 American Express gift card

First three are from IT trade shows/conferences I've attended, and the gift card was from an on-line IT survey.

I agree if Bidchka is not interested or could care less then let it pass. I missed Bidchka saying that. I have been lucky so far with promotion company's. They are quick and any time I have had a problem with a Prize they are right there helping to correct the problems. I do believe that if the rules were changed after he had won prizes 4th / 5th that he is entitled to those prizes. Rules being changed in the middle of a contest is not always acceptable reason, because what is to stop them from changing the rules right at the end of the contest? ( Not that it would happen)

Hmm not really sure why you asked this out of the blue but I personally feel that unless your posts inspire me to address them that I will simply read your comment and move to the next one. I took a look at your most recent comments and they seem fine so not sure why questions arent being answered for ya. Anyways here is your reply :P

[ungars3]

So finally got the TV (last possible day to deliver the prize within the time limit stated in the rules!) that I won, problem is that its the wrong one. On the release forms it stated that I would receive a Samsung LN-T4061F 1080p LCD TV valued at 1500$, instead I got a Samsung LN40A330J 720p LCD TV valued at less than 1000$. I e-mailed the marketing company right away and they said they handle the situation and advised me to not open the box in the mean time.
The woman I've been dealing with has been very helpful and friendly, hopefully things will be fixed very soon.

[slimmswitch]

Good luck,

We also received the TV from the cadbury contest earlier this week, I would post pics but Nabate already posted his pics.

Congratulations to all the other winners, I love to see what every one wins, almost makes me want to start entering lots of contests again, I had a good year last year about $12000, my favourite prize was the Pepsi TV.

Funny you say about getting a tv worse then what you thought the tv win I had recently was better then one I expected. I do not know about others but I always like getting better prizes then ones expected.

Prize substitution is not all the uncommon BUT one thing to keep in mind, most rules will state something along the lines of (The Sponsors reserve the right, in its and their sole discretion, to substitute a prize of equal or greater value if a Prize(or any portion thereof) cannot be awarded for any reason.) so if something happens along the way you should always get equal value or higher NEVER EVER lower

I know its unlikely a prize would be subsituted with something of lower value but I am sure most of us who have won usally gets what was in the rules and its probably pretty rare to get something higher in value.

Hey, I'm with you on that. I won $25 from Pay Day (I thought I'd won only $2, so it was extra sweet). Nothing from online entries this month....YET :)

Is it showing for anyone else ?

I see it ok.

It's a $20 GC for a grocery store. ( doesn't say which one )

And it still doesn't say which grocery store. An envelope just showed up from The Premium Factory with these GCs inside. Not even a letter of congratulations.

I just won a Mountain Hardwear back pack as one of the "pack-a-day" winners(worth $149.99). After I entered the contest a few days ago, I actually received an email right away saying I was an instant winner, but figured Id wait to be contacted again to see if it was legit. Seems like it is cause I was contacted today :) I already have a back pack I like so this one is obviously goin straight to ebay, but yeah..... :)

I just won a $10 Puretracks gift card in the Dell/Telus Instant Win game.

Lame prize, especially when I had two laptops and two puretacks up at the time. Why couldn't it have been another laptop?

Oh well, a win is a win.

[pwnd]

I have been entering contests for about a month and this is my list for my first month of contesting. I would like that thank everyone who posts the contests that they find.
-$40 from the Mars bar contest
-4 free cokes and an Olympic pin from the coke contest
-free music download from Logitech (what a great prize)
-Box of coffee from Nescafe

Hopefully bigger and better things are on the way.
Thanks again everyone and good luck.

[Softprog]

Bidchka wins a lot because

1.He's disciplined and participate in contests daily.

2.He participates in a lot of contests. I mean a lot more than the average contestant.

3.He's not from Quebec where you can't participate in about 80% of the Canadian contests.

Simple as that.
It has nothing to do with his particular luck.
Do the same thing (if you're not a Quebecer) and you'll win as much.

I don't believe in the "attitude" factor. For me it's like believing in astrology.

Sorry but your thoughts can't influence a random draw.

Sorry but your thoughts can't influence a random draw.

Ive entered many local draws, say at a city picnic, school function, etc, etc,

The last one was at a big public school summer BBQ, tons of people, and they had draws for $50 Walmart goft cards. Everyone was entering. As I put in my ballot I told my kids, this here is the winning ticket.

20 minutes later, my name was drawn. Now Why would mine out of hundreds of people be picked. Its happened to me on more than one occation to. I can count at least 5 times in the last 2 years.

Was me saying that what did it, no. But I have that attitude all the time. So call it fate, luck, the stars, etc. But there has to be something to it, otherwise why does it happen

bah
It's exactly like the athletes who are saying they won because they visualized themselves winning. The problem is that the first 10 probably imagined themselves winning too. Funny how the ones who finish between 2 and 10 never talk about positive visualization.

I'm pretty sure that among the participants in the draw of your example, many said the exact same thing than you and had the feeling they had the winning ticket.

No matter your attitude you can't avoid the implacable laws of statistical probabilities.

That being said, the positive attitude may keep you motivated to participate a lot and in that sense it can help.

Generally speaking, the contestants with a negative attitude tend to give up pretty quickly. It's why we have the tendency to overrate the positive thinking when we win. We win because we didn't give up, not because we believed.

Anyway it's an interesting discussion :)

P.S.
Hope my English was understandable enough.

[bluevektor]

LOL I didn't realize my innocent little comment would incite such a discussion about luck, attitude and athletic mentality. Interesting comments though.

yeah OLG is very picky be prepared to have a photocopy of ur Drivers ID when u send out those forms. I had to for the $20 Itunes gift card. :|

[Raycaster]

In July I entered just under 4500 contests (many daily). Bidchka won atleast 5 prizes in July that I had never even heard of! That may give you an idea of how much effort he or many of the winners here put in.

For the record, I won a Wendy's $5 GC for all of July's work. Obviously July entries won't pay off for a few months...

On another issue, did anyone else get an Thornhill Smile Centre Invite into the $10,000 makeover? I asked earlier but they just sent out the official invites today. Still wondering if this will turn into a "time sharing" party and be a total waste of time. The "draw" reception starts with cocktails at 6:30 and meet and greet with the dentists and facilities. The draw concludes at 7:30...hmmm.

A tank of gas and a few hours of my time worth it? Bidchka I'm allowed to bring a date... Wanna come?

I don't think I'll be going because I'm helping my parents move their stuff to storage since they're moving.

Hey it's Pina,

Guess what? You've won entry for you and a friend to Dean Blundell's Sausagefest! It happens this Friday, August 15th, at Sound Academy. And who says you never WIN anything!

Yeah, after reading the THREE page release and picking out words like "legible identification" and "complete and return within 72 hours" I figured I'd photocopy my driver's licence and enlarge to 200% to make it easier to read. Wouldn't you know it, after using fax machines for the past hundred years without issue, my third page got jammed in the fax and the report said failed. So I did it again and then called their 1-800 line to confirm everything was ok. I was assured everything was.

Hmm, according to to your horoscope, you will not believe in these things until early fall, when you'll overhear a gorgeous blonde mention that she only dates pure-hearted new-agers who have beautiful auras and give off groovy vibes. In that moment you experience a sudden bar-side conversion.

Then, two months later, a planetary shift will cause disharmony to manifest between you and Summer - that's with 3 m's and 2 r's. However, you...

You will have to pay $3.99* a minute to learn how to keep this Cosmic booty call connected.

**For entertainment purposes only. May cause bladder weakness, wheezing, attitude adjustments, and induce bad subroutines.

You know thats some BS and frustrating when u have only 72 hours Ive sent forms twice once cuz I swore I never seen completed so I just wanted to make sure. Although with the amount of use that your fax machine gets (from all your wins) I'm not surprised it finally started jamming up.
But on a brighter note
OLG should have it out to u really quick. They mailed out my itunes card in a HUGE plastic envelope :rolleyes:

[Kalel]

In my opinion a cin is a combination of luck of the draw and the stars. That being said and I think we will all agree with this you cannot win if you do not enter.

Won a gift card from Gallo Wine contest, $200 dinner for 4 at Moxie's. Got the prize forms in the mail, no email notification, but all looks legit. :)

[jado1978]

its legit..i used mine last weekend that i won on me and the wife.

used up half of it on driinks and 3 pizzas to go.

the manager was upset with us..because its only suppose to be used for 4 people and moxies pays 75% of the tab and gallo wine pays 25%.

we dont have have a moxies here so we had to drive 1 1/2 hrs and knew nobody in the city that had a moxies.

ahh well manager got over it..he knew i didnt have 200 bucks on me..so he let it slide and we took the pizzas home and a bottle of $30 gallo wine...hehe

Hello from Family Channel

You/Your child's entry has been selected as a potential prize winner of Family's "Behind the Curtain" Contest.

[AmberMoon]

Guys, I won a book but when the Fedex lady came to deliver it, she asked for $12 in fees. I asked her to come back on Monday. Should I be responsible to pay those? It's not even something I really want.

If its from the states its probably brokerage fees, when your mail lady comes back ask her, if it is you have two choices as is see it

1. Pay the fee and try contacting the company who you won from and let them know, many times the major company's have it set up that any fees even brokerage is paid for by them and it is possible that it was a over site and they will either send you a refund or compensate you in some way ( NOT ALWAYS)

2. Send it back and contact the company and let them know and let the ball lay in their court. They may direct you to their rules (if its there) showing that any fees associated with border crossing ect is the responsibility of the prize winner.


Always assume that any contest that is conducted out the USA or anywhere else besides your home country can have importation fees and or brokerage fees with it

Whenever I win something from the USA and get notification before it is sent I ask them to mark item as a gift which they usually do. I state that if they do not them or me or both of us might get charged extra feees which usually helps them to mark the item appropiately. If that does not work some packages come with a packing slip comes with a form you can send to the appropiate pay (depends on who charged you) where you can request a possible refund. I have done this and stated sometimesw item as a gift and that it was not marked that way. Sometimes I get refund that way.

Very smart. When I was shipped the XboX360 faceplate, he told me right away he was marking it as a gift with a very low value to avoid any issues.

Nope, it just showed up. Wasn't expecting it at all. I usually get a phone call or email informing me of a win, but not this time.

received 6 UPS packages today. Thought they were 6 free 500ml of coke from that coke contest. instead they were 6 of the olympic pins. i dont remember winning one pin let alone 6 of them. weird but i'd rather have the pins that free coke

Me too! Except, I was supposed to get 3 free cokes & 1 pin. Instead I got 4 pins. I would much rather have the coke, at least you can drink it. What are you going to do with all of your pins?!? :confused:

[cassmat]

I got 6 pins, all UPS...oh well, the men have tie clips at our work and keep losing the backs, so these will work...

[kcolasan]

I won $25 in the Scotties Paper Towel contest. Not sure where the gift card is going to be for though.

Boy, been a tough summer for contests...

A month ago I was notified that I was "one" of the selected to participate in a $10,000 dental Makeover draw in Thornhill. Instructions said cocktails at 6:30 and draws at 7:30.

70 minute drive to Thornhill via $$$ 407.
1/4 tank of gas.
Got there early and did the meet and greet.

Probably close to 50 people there! Never would of gone if I knew that.

Anyways 3 of the 4 prizes went to people that showed up just for the draw at 7:30!

70 minute ride home wondering how much the 407 bill will be...


PLEASE someone SHOOT me before I do that again. A $10,000 back deck is a different story!

I didn't want to start a new thread but am I the only one who's annoyed by the weekly (or so) sportsmiester thanking blitz ?

I know it starts with a good intention and I'm all for thanking the OP but bumping 3-4 pages worth of contests completely messes the forum.

I'm visiting regularly the forum to check for new contests and it becomes very confusing, with all those bumps, to quickly identify the new ones.

I wanted to send him a PM but it looks like he disabled this feature.

[kcotoulas]

I completely agree. Lately it has been really tough following the new contests with sportsmeister and spidey bumping up threads that have been dead for over a week. Spidey tends to even bump contests that have expired for no particular reason. There seems to be 7 new pages of bumps each day. I have no problem with people bumping up a one time entry contest, to keep track of whether they`ve entered a contest or not. but there is no need to bump up every thread. it is really annoying

[ungars3]

yup I agree as well. I was on the verge of mentioning something too. The whole forum goes out of whack with older contests that I'm assuming people weren't too interested in being send back up to the front.

[pickmepickme]

I'm in total agreement. I've just gone through five pages this morning, and the last time I checked the board was at 6:00p.m. last night. :evil:

If a contest is still going , what wrong with bumping it up, no matter how old it is. Ive seen many contests get entered again because they are far down the line, but bumped up again they get some more entrires.

You know I was thinking about it. In all honesty, it was still worth it. Had you won you would have been saying, " I was skeptical but it was worth it". So basically nothing ventured nothing gained. At least you had a chance this way. I think the worst part was that I had to work that night and couldn't meet you.

Hi Guys,

I am sorry that you guys feel that way. Although it may seem inconvenient to you because of their bump blitzes you can in fact sort the contest threads list differently. Instead of the default newest posted message on top you guys can sort the contest list by thread start date, that way they will be ordered chronologically. As well, it's just a click of the mouse to toggle between the two sorts none the less so you can still see the latest replies. I think it's an amicable compromise.

What do you guys think ?

[Bidchka]

Nice wins Bidchka. Just how many contests do you enter everyday? Congrats again.

Too many :o

Couple hundred a day.

[Hot Like Wasabi]

Too many :o

Couple hundred a day.

Wow...that's a staggering number!

[ladyb]

Wow...that's a staggering number!

Having a program like roboform helps...I was entering about 50 a day, and it was taking me 2-3 hours (and I type 78WPM). The first couple of times I used Roboform, I was done in just less than an hour, and twiddling my thumbs :) Then I realized I had MORE time to enter more contests. Yay!

[Bidchka]

The Civ Rev t-shirt arrived today along with a pile of coke pins. I was supposed to receive a pile of free cokes. :(

Bidchka, sometimes I feel you try to hard to be nice to everybody. I check 3 or 4 different forums on this board and changing the way the topics are presented to me makes no sense. No one has a problem with threads being bumped up, if there is a reason to bump them up.

If i don't check this thread for a couple of days, I will NOT be bumping up threads that have been dead of a week. There is no reason for it other than upping your post count. Now if someone tells me a good reason why they do this than I would have no problem with it.

I understand people bumping up a 1-time entry contest so they can keep track of whether they entered or not. This makes sense

But there are hundreds of people that check out this forum and only two people that bump threads up from a week ago. This is very annoying. Just my thoughts but I doesn't sound like I am the only one with these thoughts

[rockthecasbah]

I think I won an iTunes $20 giftcard from OLG. Purulator ALLEGEDLY came over to drop off the prize but there was someone here the last 2 days and no doorbell. Not even a card that gives you the reference number.

I just got a phonecall saying that they made a delivery attempt and now my package is at a location for pickup.

What tards.

[kcolasan]

Thanks RFD!!! I won 2 free flights from the Air Canada contest! Just in time for my honeymoon this year too! I think I'm having beginner's luck :)

Hi kcotoulas,

Just to say upfront, I'm not looking to flame or anything. It's just me thinking out loud. ( and using my double major in sociology )

I don't think I'm going out of my way to be nice to everyone. Just ask any of my exgirlfriends, they won't say I'm too nice at all.

I also find it a bit tiresome too when I wake up and there was a "thank you" blitz. I don't believe it's done for post count. That's nonsense. I believe they do it as a mark. So they know they have checked out the contest.

I see the online communities in the same light as my real life communities. Thus even though there are others that do stuff I find annoying or simply don't agree with, the mature thing to do is deal with it. If I walked around Toronto thinking that everyone that pissed me off had to get a tongue lashing from me, I wouldn't be a very good citizen. So whether my 75 year old grossly overweight neighbour insists on wearing a bikini or the driver in front of me must do exactly the speed limit on the highway in front of me, I have to remind myself that they are not doing anything wrong and adjust. It's no different here. They aren't doing anything contrary to any RFD rules. A good community looks to foment good ties. Maybe we can just ask them to come up with a different scheme.

Does that make any sense ?!?!?

If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.

Googling for "reader's digest 72nd sweepstake" seems to show that a lot of people have gotten these kinds of letters before. So chances are it's not legit.

Just found out that I'm a winner of the "E.R. Season 9" DVD from need coffee.com by checking a winners list posted on an American Sweepstakes site.

If you enter any contests on need coffee.com, you have to check the winners list because they don't notify you if you win, they just send out the prizes.

BTW, all 3 winners of that E.R. DVD are Canadian, and that website is American. :D

So my wife decides to tell me over dinner that CFRB called today around noon and it went something like this...

ring ring
wife: Hello
caller: CFRB ( and they hung up )

So my wife checks the call display and calls them back. She explains what happened and the voice on the other side says " Oh yeah, you were supposed to answer the phone in a certain way and since you just said hello, it was wrong so we had to move on to the next name"

Now does this sound like any contest you have heard of ?

Since I have been in Canada I have not seen these type of contests but I do know they exist usually through radio stations where you have to say something along the lines of " Hello I listen to 99.3fm in the morning with soandso

On a personal note I would hate to enter one of those because no one in my house would answer the phone that way no matter what the prize was

SIMPLE PLAN-LIVE IT UP LIKE A ROCKSTAR CONTEST (posted by TY!!!)

I just got a call on my cell saying that i was a potential winner of a third place prize ($100 Rogers voucher) - waiting for my call back and my skill testing question!

Thanks TY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, just wondering if you have received anything yet? i won the same price.

[Spidey]

Spidey actually did win (I think he said $27,000) from that same site. I remember him posting once that his cheque had 'Marisa Orsini's' name on it. (BTW Spidey, where are you, haven't seen you posting anything lately.) Anyway, I don't remember the details, but hopefully he'll see this post and give you more info. Is it from Reader's Digest?

Ive been on holidays and I refuse to take my laptop with me. Yes it had her name on it. Its in a frame with a picture I took when i received my cheque.

So the readers digest thing is real, from first hand expereince

Hi everyone - I'm new to this site and pretty new to "contesting" in general - thanks to everyone who contributes to this great resource.

I've won a few things since I started doing this in March (I was inspired by the CBC documentary about it - maybe someone here was in it?), but nothing big so far:

$50 gift certificate to a local restaurant (Halifaxdining.ca)
Waterpik Showerhead (Canadian Living Green Contest)
Tickets to a Simple Plan Concert (MuchMusic - found the link here - thanks!)
Stouffer's Panini Prize Pack
Divine.ca "Free Your Feet" contest

I've pretty much given away everything I've won, but I'm still finding it a fun little hobby!

Anyway, look forward to being a part of the community and I hope I can help out!

[cofh]

Awesome job guys!!! Keep up the good work, I'm still waiting for my car win :(

Join the club. I will win a car before the year is up. Hope you do too!

I've won a few of those so far. It's the new green tea canada dry ginger ale. It's actually really good. when you go looking for it in the stores, it's a 1.5 litre bottle and be prepared to pay the taxes on your free bottle. :confused:

they first sent me an email around 3:00 pm and they followed up 10 mins later with a phone call.

BIdchka you say
Let's keep this winning thing going until WEH

do you think they will actually have one this year?

[Bidchka]

Bad luck, but just think crank caller and move on... You aren't exactly short on wins this year so another will follow.

I did a little investigating and as it turns out 1010 CFRB @ 10 - 11 AM on Saturdays has a Travel Show and if they answer your question on air you have a chance to win the weekly prize if they call you. You have to answer the phone with the phrase they give out during the show. Only people who had their questions answered get the chance. Since I didn't read that part of the rules, I was not aware of this part. As it turns out, the prize was trip. If my memory serves me correct, a trip to Haliburton. This weeks trip was to Daytona Beach.

Oh well, maybe next time. :(

[twitchyq]

I won "Season 2 of Dexter" from Astral media in Toronto (either from 97.3 EZ Rock or 99.9 Mix fm... I can't rememebr which one I entered)! What a great show!!

I recently won a bottle of Lacoste Dream of Pink Limited Edition EDT Spray from Inside E (Kontent Publishing)... one of 100 winners. I couldn't find whoever posted this contest so I don't know who to thank.

Thanks again RFD.

Apparently I recently won a movie package for 4 from Cineplex Odeon, including tickets, popcorn and pop. I'd post the link to the thread with the contest, but I enter so many of the things that I can't keep track :P

I haven't received the prize yet, but somebody did contact me and I did fax a form away. I am suspecting that the prize will be a pair of coupons for 2 tickets, pop and popcorn as available at Costco. It's my first win on here, hurrah!

For any contest they quote the Sug Retail Price for any prize. A DVD value is usually $40.

[Jason]

The other thing to note is that the value is quoted at the start of the contest so the value of the prize is pretty much guaranteed to drop over the duration of the contest.

"Wedgie-Free Wednesdays" contest.

I guess I won't have to worry about wedgies anymore :o


Since I entered of course for my wife. When they contacted me they wanted to know the size to send. Was it wrong of me to just guess my wife is an XXL

You guys are going to laugh as much I did on this one.

After much fighting and lots very patient waiting, I'm finally getting the new equivalent of the model TV I won. Its being delivered tomorrow and I confirmed that it is indeed the correct model number this time before delivery. I can't wait to set it up! The last day according to the rules that they had to get the prize to me was August 7th, which they did, but the wrong model (purposely it seems, hoping I wouldn't notice) and now almost a month later Samsung finally fixed their mistake. And boy did it ever take a lot to get them to even do that. But its over with!

P.S. congrats on all the recent wins guys! Tomorrow is notification day for the iMac winners, hopefully we'll see lots of winning posts for that!

[pickmepickme]

Congratulations to all the winners. i get to finally report a small win $10 gift certificate in the Giant Tiger contest. I think I will keep it for myself, normally I give anything I win to other family members, including my Pepsi TV, trip to Britain. I think I need to put a stop to that.

I never enter travel contests unless they're for a family of four (for my husband, myself and two sons), because I have always been told and read in the rules, that travel wins are ABSOLUTELY non-transferrable.

I am really surprised that you were able to give your trip to Britain to someone else, and this may change my mind about entering those contests. Maybe I'll start entering them and then give them away to many of my family and friends who DO love to travel and are also happy to leave their kids at home, lol.

I gave this trip to my parents, the rules stated that when you were contacted you had 9 days to return the documents listing the names of the two people traveling,mind you the trip rules said travel must be taken before dec 2008 but part of the trip included all meals, lodgings, drinks, fishing etc and the bed and breakfast the company is using are fully booked until next Sept 2009 so they say the trip has to be taken then.

[Spidey]

Its weird that most trips are for 4. Lots of family are for more than 4. The Whister trip I wont was for 4, but they said we could take our youngest son just had to pay a bit extra for the extra seat on the flight (which wasnt much really - came to a couple hundred I think there and back) Didnt think it was fair to leave him behind

[matdwyer]

Wow... I entered a bunch of contests the other day, and just won 2 gala tickets to The Other Man (with Antonio Banderas), $400 gift bag, meet and greet with celebrities, private box, food, etc. from bell... wow! first win! :lol:

[Mistress]

wtg everyone on the wins CONGRATS to all winners and good luck to all contesters.

Recently I have won 6 soccer balls from Danone,3 hotshot dispensers and a bunch of cappucinos from Nescafe and $20 iTunes card from OLG.

[Bidchka]

I got the call from Hanes just now. When she asked sheepishly if this was for my wife or girlfriend and I said yes, I heard her sigh and make the "phew" noise. Was rather funny actually.

I posed this question before and don't think I ever got an answer...just wondering if you win a vacation for say 4 people, what happens if you don't want to take 3 others with you? What if you wanted to just go with your partner or alone? Anybody ever have that experience or ask a contest sponsor about that?

In the majority of cases you forfeit the other tickets, simple as that.

Turning into an excellent winning streak for me. Two weeks ago I won a $1000 gift card in the Cadbury Contest, last week I won an iMac in the Energizer contest, today I come home to a call from OLG about the Music contest. He didn't mention the prize and it was too late to call back, but I assume it is an 8GB iPod Nano. Still have to call back Monday and answer the STQ.

Bidchka, did you not win one of those? Was the STQ over the phone or on the Release forms?

One win a week is alright with me... :cheesygri

Congrats. You have a nice streak going. Let's see what's ending next week to keep your streak alive...ahh yes, the $1000 from Staples. I hope you win it!! I hope you win it!! I hope you win it!! That's cuz I'd like the tv from sportsnet.

No wonder I haven't won anything over tickets lately, you keep snapping up the prizes from my hands. :lol:

I was an instant winner. You were likely the weekly winner. I won a 2 Gb shuffle and yours is the nano. My STQ was on the form.

This site rocks. We really win more than any other contest site.

no no no.. only one undies win.. they email you first then follow it up with a phone call.


Since I usually take photos of my prizes, would there be any objections to a pic of the XXL undies on somebody rather than my usual display on the green leather couch in my den. :cheesygri :D

Thanks for the info. Since I've been taking the prizes from you, you can have the TV and I'll take the $1K. Fair?:cheesygri

more than fair. Here's hoping for the both of us...

The Whister trip I wont was for 4, but they said we could take our youngest son just had to pay a bit extra for the extra seat on the flight (which wasnt much really - came to a couple hundred I think there and back) Didnt think it was fair to leave him behind

The 3 trips I won were for 2 people. The freaky thing my second one (the one to Vegas) I had a friend who joined me lives in the USA join me. Anyway the flight I was to take was not direct one but 2 seperate plans. For my friend to come up here to meet me would of cost them $1000 each way. Anyway when I talked to the contest people stating that the person I wanted to join me was in the USA they stated I should contact the airline to see if there was away my friend could meet me up with me at the airport where I would change planes. Now when I contacted the Canadian head office they stated as long as my friend confirmed with the airline a week before the trip but when she contacted the USA head office to see what she needed to supply to them so she had it for when the time came up. They told her that they could not gurantee even if she confirmed that a seat would be availbe. So me and my friend decided rather then taking a chance and have my friend stuck at the airport in limbo she would meet me in Vegas since the cost for her to get to Vegas from where she was located was alot cheaper then having her meet me up here. I notified the contest people and they ended up I guess because of the money from the ticket they saved they sorta gave us a slightly longer trip at a slightly nicer hotel. So who knows what happens I guess it depends on the contest people.

cofh,

I would be surprised if there is not anyone here who would not want to win a contest a week but I think unless you enter tons that is rare. I know for my own experience for a person that does not enter everyday or even alot I am lucky if I break more then 30 wins a year. For me a win is anything that I know is more then $10 or suspect is worth more then $10. I doubt if I enter more then 500 contests a year. I keep a journal of my wins and next year if I can get into the habit besides recording wins I am going to try to record contests I enter. Anyway this year I have only 14 wins but I am just shy of 2500. When it comes to wins usually I go 2 or 3 weeks without a win then I might win 1 or 2 then hit another drought. So my thoughts do as much contest entry and winning as you can/like but try not have it be the only thing in your life. I have had good experiences with prizes I have won, good times with the contests I have entered to win or hope to win and have had things fun not associated with contests.

I missed Purolator on Thursday and did the pickup Friday. There were 2 boxes. I was hoping they'd send full price coupons, but no, they sent product:

Unfortunately, one of the jars was broken, and it was the corn relish. Drat! They include a phone # to call if anything is broken. Will do that Monday. Here's the rest of the prize:

The Bick's logo on the front is a sticker that can be peeled off.

Holy crap! That's a hell of a lot of product... It must have cost a pretty penny to send all that. Coupons would have been smarter.

Congrats!

I'm not naive enough to think that that will actually happen, but it's nice to get a string of wins. I am VERY stringent about entering my contests every day, to that point that my wife and family ask me if I've done my contesting that day. And I thought I'd left homework behind when I finished school :)

I have not had anywhere near 30 wins a year, but I am selective about what I enter (bigger prizes, generally - CDs, DVDs, books, etc I don't bother except for the occasional single entry). I have won at least one big trip every year and several significant electronics prizes and gift cards.

It's a significant time investment, but I think I've got a decent return. As long as I still enjoy it, I will continue doing it (whether I win 1 prize a week or 1 prize a year). My perspective will likely change when I have kids, but for now I will keep puttin' in the time.

Congrats to all the new winners.

I love entering contests each year but I tend to get burnt out entering too many contests. When I start going to 4 or 5 different boards searching for every tiny contest, I usually lose interest a couple more months later. It's usually around Christmas after spend hours each day doing the Pepsi WEH.

I still haven't won a trip or TV and those are the two things I would love to someday win. It's an amazing feeling to win and this year I have decided to limit myself to only entering on two boards. I still enter 100 contests daily but most of them are great prizes that I really want to win.

Congrats to drv123 (wow free groceries would be nice), cofh(you won both prizes that I wanted) and everyone else
