Contest Winners Alert: Pls Post Your Contest Wins Here

[soleprovider]

How about keeping the conversation in this thread strictly to that of the wins of our members?


99% of this thread is contest wins. Who cares if more active members than you(and me) want to discuss something? Why does it offend you so?

Newegg.ca $50 from the grand opening sweepstakes win. They finally gave me the money!
Long overdue since I won this like 2-3 months ago :lol: Managed to save $30-35 bucks and free shipping while purchasing an e8400 cpu. :)

First, and most importantly, NO disrespect taken and I appreciate the tactfull way you responded.
As you may be correct ( I may be mistaken on this one, I won't go so far as to say you are wrong ), I feel that you are splitting hairs and I am quite sure that several contest organizers would possibly disagree as well.

I am 100% on board with contest entering services such as the one you indicated as being in the no-no, but when it indicates entries generated by false means... I don't see the line between clicking one button and filling out an entire form ( IE a MACRO completing the form for you ) vs. having the above mentionned do it. Again, it may come down to symantics (? My spelling is off I'm sure) but using an auto-form filler negates the need for users to take time to fill out contest forms. In effect, the ONLY thing it does not do in generating the entry, is click the submit button (in many instances. Some you may need to be involved with to complete).

Either way, the spirit of the post is the same. Guess I just got fed-up with all the posts re. cheating, etc lately (but hey, I guess it's a free world).

Anyway, sorry for my own off topic rant. I'll get back to trying to hunt down other contests for people to enter.

GL all and keep those wins a comming!

I have been doing this for many years and this very topic comes up time and time again. People have gone as far as asking the sponsor their opinion to get a better understanding of the use of Roboform and usually come to the realization that Roboform or form fillers are acceptable. The automated entry is a service usually which is paid and they enter on your behalf in the masses which is a definite no no and in my opinion are two totally different programs.

In the end its up to the individual if they want to use form fillers or not and no matter what there will be people who agree with you that it shouldn't be acceptable but the rules are pretty clear cut I think where it stands on form fillers and the use of automated entry's. Assuming though that those of us who use Roboform are cheating is a bit of a stretch.

Either way, good luck and hope to see your winning announcements soon :)



I apologize for starting this mess. I find that if it is available to everyone - then it is fair to use. I didnt use it before because I really did not believe it worked - OMG was I mistaken. If I find out it is truly considered cheating, I do plan to stop using it.

Yes and no, automated entry is available to anyone but it is a definite rule breaker since you are not doing the entering but someone/something else is.
roboform, google, yahoo ect all have these formfillers available


How about keeping the conversation in this thread strictly to that of the wins of our members?

There should be a stickie with a new thread for general contest chat and questions. Alot of people have questions that they need to ask.

Ask a mod/admin if they will do that but until that happens I think keeping the sweeping chit chat here is a good idea because it keeps the clutter to one area vs in where all the sweeps are. I personally don't mind either way especially since its a few questions/chitchat per page.

CONGRATULATIONS! You have won a double pass to the advance screening of "Slumdog Millionaire".

I missed this in the freebie section, I'm glad I still get to see it for free. YAY. Won from showbizmonkeys.

No disrespect but you are mistaken and misinformed. Roboform is not the same thing as a automated entry which is what you are trying to imply. When you see in the rules where it states something such as "Entries generated by a script, macro, or other automated means will be disqualified" it is referring to services or programs that enter sweeps for you without you having to do it yourself.

Example of automated services is something from this site ( one of thousands) http://www.squidoo.com/entryservices.. which is what the above part of the rules mean. so unless the Rules actually state that the use of Form Fillers or that Entry forms must be hand typed / manually keystroked then using roboform/google ect form fillers is perfectly acceptable and a legit entry.

As for blatant cheating such as entering for your fish or changing your name a bit and using another email addy, Im with ya 100% and I would be the first to turn those people in if they admit to it. But if they enter themselves and lets say their spouse into the same contest that is one per person then they are within the rules and as long as they have the other persons consent then its all within the rules as that other person would be claiming the prize and winning. Hell I enter for my kids into contests daily that is only open to them But im entering on behalf of them and perfectly within the rules as my kids would be the ones winning.

Are there a mess load of cheaters out there? hell yes, and i believe that karma will come back around to bite them in the arse. Will there always be a way to cheat the systems? Probably, and there will always be someone playing it.

First, and most importantly, NO disrespect taken and I appreciate the tactfull way you responded.

Wow, I didn't know this was such an issue. I always assumed roboform or google form fillers were okay. Now I don't know if I'm cheating or not. I use that google or IE feature (don't know if it's called a form filler or not) where you put in the first letter or number for each field and the program shows your name or address and then you have to click on it to finish the field. I can't see how this could be considered cheating or be what is intended by the prohibition against automated entries. I can't imagine that I'm supposed to ignore the shortcut and let the program finish my name, like I'm supposed to keep typing what's already there and clickable.

Hmmm, curiouser and curiouser.:confused:

I want to help clear things up on this so as not to cause any undue confusion:

Most importantly, I do not know with any certainty that Roboform (or any other similar product) is in any way considered a form of cheating. I simply have my own personal interpretation of the rules.

Another RFD member (who has been contesting for longer than I) indicated that there have been instances where contest organisers have indicated that using form fillers are ok (I can not corroborate this myself, but have no reason to doubt her word). The essense of the post was not a "HEY, YOU SHOULDN'T DO THAT!", but more an observation of what I felt was a hipocracy in the forums that was causing undue flaming/heated discussion/hundreds of irrelevant posts to the contests at hand (and generating a lot of anger.... That's a bad thing at Christmas :D)

Take my point of view for what it is (a point of vue/personal unvalidated interpretation of the rules). Do not feel threatened by it. If my statement causes any doubt with you in your use of Roboform, feel free to contact a contest sponser of your choice and validate if it's ok or not (and please feel free to identify if you do so and the response provided).

Other than that, GO WIN SOMETHING ALREADY! JUST NOT MY TV (not sure which one is mine yet, but one of 'em has gotta be! LOL! :lol:)

I'm trying, I'm trying...lol! I really do hope you win that TV you're hoping for (btw, did you ask Santa for one...heehee?), but I can't promise I won't be competing with you for them, sorry..lol. Both my mom and I need a new one so, sorry, but in my family you have at least two competitors that I know of. But hey, there seems to be a lot of TV contests, would be tres cool if a few of us win one!

Good luck....and if you do win, I expect a very enthusiastic post telling us about it...lol.

Well, when I first started contesting several years ago, when this topic came up on a board (not sure which one, because I frequent a few), I took it upon myself to contact three randomly selected (lol) companies, and all three said that they would consider Roboform to be in conflict with their rules. I personally don't use it, because I don't want to be disqualified after having wasted my time entering all of the contests. I seriously doubt though, that most would KNOW if you used it, but again, the decision is one that each contester will have to make for his/herself.

OOooooh!
The better half just called to say that FedEx just dropped off a package and it looks laptop sized.
I'm not letter her open it 'till I get back from work though... Maybe it's the laptop, maybe some other random win... Who knows... Oh, the anticipation!!!! Will update later tonight (I'll try and include a pic too if I can)

[simo_8]

I'm jealous of all these winning posts! But congrats to you all!!! :) I basically started entering a ton of contests everyday a few weeks ago. Patiently waiting for a significant win :p

[mnepper]

Wait for it, it comes faster than you think. Just gotta get past that first month or two as contests come to a close.
I started just this past summer (won a couple of local radio contests and got hooked :D).
Didn't really see any online wins (except some small instants here and there) until I had time to get quite a few daily's under my belt with lots of entries.

It'll come, and an early congrats for when it does (unless you win my TV, then it's on! :evil: :lol:)

Ditto - that's the prize that enticed me to enter. The swag doesn't seem like much but it may turn out to be a nice prize if the backpack & dvd are good.

[sharonnelt]

So I like the pen a lot - the t-shirt is kind of cool and the dvd is well its the dvd. The hat is ok but my husband has now about 10 of these swag type hats from all the movie tickets i have won over the years.

re: Bidchka's comment - I was the first runner up - name was right after the winner in Ottawa on Metro's list - sux would have liked the PS3. But I am absolutely not complaining. I LOVE WINNING. Would love a phone like yours and still waiting for that lovely LCD to come my way.

[DealGiver]

how do you guys keep track of these emails you get for winning ones? as in when you enter all these contest....I ahve started to receive so much junk email....?

[mnepper]

Personally, I have a dedicated account I use for contest entries.
I get about 30 or so messages in a day, but quick to clean out.
Helps keep it exciting when all of a sudden on sais I win (although, truth be told, I have apparently won every europeon lottery ever conceived :lol:. The last time I added it up, I had won about 930ish million euro in one day! Why am I still working! LOL!)

[simo_8]

haha I've won those European lotteries too! :p I use one of my email accounts that I don't care so much about. They usually all go to the junk mail folder so I always check there. Who would've thought it'd be exciting to check my junk mail folder? :p

Actually I have been contesting for not even a month. I record on a word document the draw dates or dates that they are supposed to contact the winners. So I check in on them to see if they've announced winners. Then I delete them off the list. It's fun going into a period or day where there are a ton of contest draws being made. But VERY disappointing when you won't win any. :p

[simo_8]

Forgot to mention that for the daily ones, I put them on my quick links bar so I do those all at the same time of day everyday and so I don't forget any of them. :p

Very organized, but it has yet to pay off for me :p

Congrats guys.. very nice win on the scrub free contest..

[vorthex]

Congrats everyone...

I have a question:

Do you all only enter contests that are posted on this site? If not, what other sites do you use to enter contests?

[mnepper]

Myself, I check around the 'net at other sites and if I find something not on the board, I post it (so you're not missing anything I'm finding anywhere else).
That said, I also always have a pen on me though in case I walk through a store with something going on.

And for anyone in the Ottawa downtown core, the Tim Horton's on the corner of Bank and Glaucester has a raffle on the go for a Tim H's coffee machine... (just an FYI)

[AnnaBanana]

Congrats everyone...

I have a question:

Do you all only enter contests that are posted on this site? If not, what other sites do you use to enter contests?

I too only enter from here, but if i'm really bored then i search around and if i find something new i post it here... i would HOPE that's what others do too!

Good luck everyone - lots of contests ending Dec 31st!!

[Kalel]

Actually its funny some people talk about those Euro lottery winning e-mails. I was listening to a Toronto radio station recently and they called up (the e-mail contained a phone number) to inform them there e-mail was no logger working and if they could get a snail mail address to mail the info or connect someone so they could give the info. They did this 3 different times and instead of being put on hold like the person at the other end claimed they were hung up on. When they called back the 2 next times the person said sunspots must be efffecting the lines.

Had a book arrive at the house from random house. Its called "When In Rome" by Gemma Townley....have no idea what contest it was or anything. No release form...nice Christmas present thou :)

I got the book too and my mom too. I vaguely remember, this was in a magazine. They were giving away copies of the book to the first 1000 people to enter. Looks like a good read.

We won our first text contest. I've only ever entered about 3 of these. I sent the entry from my husband's cell phone so he is the official winner.:cheesygri

Sponsored by Molson, we won the Keg Ultimate Feast. Dinner for 6 at the Keg, maximum $2,500 total bill. And a limo to pick us all up and drive us home. This is a ridiculous amount of money for food and drink - works out to over $400/person. I have no idea how we will spend it all in one night unless they allow us to take the remainder in gift cards.

Very excited. This is going to be fun!!!

Just got an instant win from the Disney "What Will You Celebrate?" Sweepstakes!

http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=639046

And which of the four prizes did I get? The pin....

Still better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, and I never usually win from those instant wins! It would be nice to get one more decent win before the end of the year though.

Nice win.. I remember about 13 years ago my girlfriend at the time won a voucher for Jump Cafe ( I think it's still in the BCE Place ). NO LIMIT on how much we can order.. I tell you, it's easy to spend when you don't have to pay for it. We each ate like royalty and left a hefty tip on top of that. All paid for by the voucher she won.

[minemine]

good day all... lots of great wins show up hear...
I'm fairly new at this, have been somewhat active since april of this year, and I've had some succes

Won a $50 GC to 2for1 Pizza on the radio...they had me on hold for Rapid Fire (answer 8/10 questions right to win) but they ran out of time on that segment so they asked me just one question (who starred in these 3 films?). I quickly googled it and won! LOL...going to a potluck on Christmas Eve and I hate to cook, so I'm just going to bring a bunch of chicken wings from 2for1 Pizza! :lol:

That's awesome! Congrats! So many of you win from radio stations. I don't even listen to the radio anymore. Even in the car. I only listen for traffic reports.

Are you going to put the wings on your own dish and pass them off as your own? :p I know I would. haha

Radio Stations are soooo easy to win from! I listen while at work, and manage to get a phone call in here and there. My co-worker is used to me by now saying "wow that's awesome!" and "OMG, I can't believe it!" :razz:

Thanks guys... I'll admit that 1st prize photo contest WAS the coolest!
for those interested, our picture was the mad scientist pulling his hair with tons of physics formula being him (even one questionning Einstein's theory of relativity... they really liked that part they said)

Yes like that $1000 prepaid visa winner... I get all kinds of comments on our that visa card...

xansmommy... which was yours?

Re: Canoe.ca contest and Rogers HD contest? Has anyone won the dailys for Canoe. Do you know if they are informing people daily or are they saving it up until the end. The Rogers HD contest ended Thursday and I was wondering if we had any lucky RFDers out there. The entry form is still up but the rules stated it closed.

I grabbed this from the rules for the Canoe contest:
"a. On January 6, 2008 in Toronto, Ontario at 12:00 PM, Eastern Time, the potential prize winners will be selected by a random draw from all eligible online Entries received."

So it looks like your entries don't go to a specific day's prizes, but to all prizes.

2 tickets anywhere in North America (including Hawai), Carabeen or Mexico $3000 (or less... but we plan for Hawai...) air canada


Cool. Ditto (won 2 tickets) and ditto (Hawaii). It's a bit of a drag that we're on our own for finding accommodations though. Do you have any leads? (For someone who didn't just win $25,000) :cheesygri

[mnepper]

:-0won the 200,00 for Moxies restaraunt from Gallo wines contest,has anyone used there Moxies gift certificate yet and if so what are the rules on useing it,thanks.

Rules were pretty simple. Let them know up front that you have the gift certificate. Supper is for 4 (drinks are ok on the bill). Whatever you don't use, you loose, so SPEND SPEND SPEND!

When we did it, we made sure to go over our limit a bit and just split the difference.

Also, you can't use the card to leave a tip, so be sure to be ready for that!

Other than that, enjoy your meal! We did!

[iluvsdadeals]

Received a big package in the mail last night and got all excited. It ended up being a big white t-shirt from the Bell Bigstar contest (http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=640489&highlight=sympatico). Didn't even know I had won anything from that one.

I've never won from Showbiz Monkey before, and was surprised that I had to register at a different site in order to claim the tickets.

Is that not how they've done it in the past?

[Kalel]

I am thinking they are doing it this new way to prevent a people who have multiple e-mail accounts from "stuffing" entries and then scalping the extra stuff or depending on the software they are using limiting the amount of entries a specific isp/account can submit. I always find it interesting that it has a phone number spot on the entry form but myself nor my sister never got a call re prizes. Also wish they would post winners so if for some reason if you are a winner but did not get notified you can contact them finally. Re this latest contest I found it real odd cause according to the website they chose winners before the contest deadline.

[DonnyFenn]

Well, the OP didn't specifiy whether to exclude radio station stuff, so I'll include that. :D
About 10 years ago, I won a draw to play paintball for Sam the Record Man against a CFOX team, premium rentals and all the paint we could shoot for 4 hours. :cheesygri
About 8 years ago, I won gold tickets with Paddock passes for the Vancouver Indy from a Chevron draw.
In 2001 I called into CFOX when I recognized the first couple chords of Jeremy and got a pair of win-to-get-in Pearl Jam tickets for the Commodore (club-sized venue).
In 2003, I asked a couple hundred people in the local Ikea if they were "Agent Fox", and ended up finding the guy. $400 for that.
In 2006, I answered a dead-easy trivia question on the same station and won tickets to Velvet Revolver, and about $200 worth of exhibition pass tickets.
This year, I simply asked the station for tickets to sold-out Apocalyptica, and they gave me meet-and-greet VIP tickets!
Most recently, again from the same station, I won a couple of great Chris Cornell tickets and a pair of Tom Morello tickets as well. So CFOX has been good to me over the years!

Wow! Yes they have! Some nice radio station wins there and some nice concerts! :) Keep it going!

Well, the OP didn't specifiy whether to exclude radio station stuff, so I'll include that. :D
About 10 years ago, I won a draw to play paintball for Sam the Record Man against a CFOX team, premium rentals and all the paint we could shoot for 4 hours. :cheesygri
About 8 years ago, I won gold tickets with Paddock passes for the Vancouver Indy from a Chevron draw.
In 2001 I called into CFOX when I recognized the first couple chords of Jeremy and got a pair of win-to-get-in Pearl Jam tickets for the Commodore (club-sized venue).
In 2003, I asked a couple hundred people in the local Ikea if they were "Agent Fox", and ended up finding the guy. $400 for that.
In 2006, I answered a dead-easy trivia question on the same station and won tickets to Velvet Revolver, and about $200 worth of exhibition pass tickets.
This year, I simply asked the station for tickets to sold-out Apocalyptica, and they gave me meet-and-greet VIP tickets!
Most recently, again from the same station, I won a couple of great Chris Cornell tickets and a pair of Tom Morello tickets as well. So CFOX has been good to me over the years!

[Happy13178]

fORM FILLER but not the point. I hate that it is unlimited. Makes it very diffficult to win anything.

I don't think it makes a difference really....won twice more in the past few days....got a snowshovel as instant win from Canadian Tire contest, and "Can you Keep a Secret" by Sophie Kinsella in softcover from Random House.

A lot of companies are closed this week or have very few staff working, so I doubt that there'd me many winning emails and phone calls sent out.

The first few weeks of January have quite a few draw dates, which are probably from contests that are wrapping up on December 31st.

Good luck to us all!

[Kalel]

Well notrip wins in 2008 but my 2 biggest wins included a Sony Bravia 32 inch HDTV and 52 free passes for the new AMC theatre in Toronto. Not that I am complaining re no trip win but did not enter alot of non national contests with trips as prizes since I am not working right now and do not have a valid passport. Maybe i'll win a national trip which includes spending cash I can use to renew my passport. This being said I had a CAnadian trip be worth more one of my USA trip wins.

Finally Best of Luck Fellow RFDers I hope you all will have a safe and big winning 2009.

[pickmepickme]

An update and a warning or reminder for those who win movie passes.

My sister went to Revolutionary Road with my winning pass, but they had already sold out by the time she got there. She had arrived at 5:30 for a 7:00 screening, but was out of luck.

Most winners read the fine print and realize that screenings are always "oversold", because a lot of people simply don't end up showing up, but I've always gone early enough (maybe 45 minutes before the start), so was really surprised that she was turned away a full hour and a half before the film started.

This was the first screening that I'd won for the VIP room though, so maybe they gave out as many tickets as they would have for a larger venue and therefore ran out of seats a lot faster, or maybe they've started to "oversell" even more. Also, I had never won from Showbiz Monkeys before, and maybe they give out a lot more passes than the other contest organizers do?

:(

[Guido13]

I got passes too from showbizmonkeys too.

I arrived just after 6 pm. However, they didn't exchange passes til about 6:30. Then we formed a line up at Cinema 3 (I dont think it was the VIP cinema). We waited about another 15 minutes before being ushered in. About a fifth to a quarter of the seats seemed to be reserved for Press. By the time the film started, seats were still empty for about the first five rows. So I can't imagine they turned your sister away. Maybe, you can call the theatre re: the mix-up. Who knows, maybe they'll give you passes for a future film.

She is going to be very disappointed to hear this.

She had been especially looking forward to going to the VIP lounge (that's what the passes said), so it looks like whoever was on duty at 5:30 had no idea what they were talking about. And since you say that there were a lot of empty seats, I wonder how many others went earlier and were turned away too?

I suppose I could try to complain about it, but I'm not holding my breath.

Thanks for the info though.

Ive won about 8 times from Showbiz monkeys. They do not give out the tickets until 1 hour before the show and there always are tonnes of seats. I have never been turned away. I find her situation a bit odd.

I'm sure now that she must have spoken to somebody who had no idea what they were talking about, but she had also really wanted to see that film, so it was even more disappointing. But if they don't give out the tickets until one hour prior, why don't they say that either on the ticket or in the email the sent? But then again, others who have won from them in the past said that they didn't go through a third party website for the tickets (like they did THIS time), so maybe that is why they didn't mention the hour factor in their winning email notification.

Luckily though, she both lives and works in the Yonge and Bloor area, so she hadn't gone far out of her way to see it.

I guess going too early doesn't always work out.

Weird, We have been to dozens of screenings with won tickets and as of the last time we went, we always were able to go, Now granted some times the seats were pretty full but it seems there is still a few seats left over.

If I was you I would contact the sponsor and let them know and maybe with any luck they will mail you another pair to another show

I have been to many screenings too, and never missed out.

I think contacting the sponsor is a very good idea, because I doubt that the cinema itself would prove very fruitful.

THanks.

Definately spoke to the wrong person - send an email to showbiz monkeys maybe they will give you another set of tickets to the next show.

I just got a call saying I won tickets to a world junior game at the Civic Center in Ottawa. All I know is I need to pick the tickets up at someones house and it's for Jan 3 @ 6:30 but when I check the hockeycanada website it says "relegation" but I'm not too sure what this is.

Is this worth going to? I'm thinking of calling back and letting them draw somebody else's name as Im in Kanata, it's pretty far.

Geeze, who makes a return date during holiday weeks. Doubt they were even around themselves. They will probably be okay with it coming in late. It's not unreasonable to away for the holiday.

Sorry, the link I put in was messed up...I fixed it now.

I ALMOST won something on that "make your prediction" site last week.

I am amazed at the level of detail they put into this play-by-play contest result paragraph... but I am also kind of bummed. (I'm JakeMorris)


Here are some fun and very interesting statistics on this question. The first prediction was entered on Dec 21, 2008 at 12:09am. The last prediction was entered on Dec 17, 2008 at 11:24pm. The first correct prediction was entered on Dec 21, 2008 at 12:51:57 am. In fact, 2 members, Llewella and JakeMorris made predictions for "Prison Break" at exactly the same time - December 21, 2008 at 12:51:57am. JakeMorris, however, changed his guess to heroes at 12:52:10am and then back to prison break at 12:52:15am giving up what would have been a first place tie. These 2 final guesses are only 18 seconds apart!

I misread the entry process and didn't realize that if I inputted a new answer it would get rid of my original one. Talk about a close finish though!

First win of 2009, I won a Sleeman's jacket as part of the intro of their No. 20 Ale. OK, so it wasn't an RFD contest -- I had to sample a pint of the stuff served by an attractive young promotional rep at the curling club and enter a draw... But since it's the first win since 2006 I'm glad the drought is over! (Also got the 6 women's razors last month, but that's different :) )

[ladyb]

Today I won a loonie at a comedy/financial presentation at orientation at school. I was the only one in the whole room (200+ people) who knew that the pic on the screen was of Rupert Murdoch. OK, maybe I was the only one willing to admit it. Wheeee. My boyfriend won a 1 GB thumb drive for answering a question posed by Michael Olson (chef/husband of Anna of Sugar fame), then had to explain to him that he isn't actually a student there.... :)

A number of years back there was a Molson promotional thing going on at a local bar and I won a Molson Canadian jacket. First we take shots at a net with plastic hockey sticks and earn ballots into the draw. And I won the draw! :p Congrats

[tmoon]

I dont know if you consider it a win, But today I got confirmation that logitech will honor a free replacement of my 4 year mouse. Best customer support ever!

Congrats on the wins everyone, Im only new to the contest scene and every day checking email is fun :)

[Raycaster]

In my books that's a win!

Just been lurking lately not posting...

Thanks to all for making 2008 a big success in prizes.

Finally won that Vtech phone and Big Trip.

Big thanks to Bidchka as a big supporter. Man if anyone needs encouragement to enter contests they just have to look at his results.

If anyone here is disappointed by not winning, don't give up! I went almost 3 months during the summer with ZERO and then won 3 prizes in 2 weeks!

[Spidey]

I was on a major dryspell as well, then won 2 prizes on 1 week. One was the free Molly maid service for a year

Today I won a loonie at a comedy/financial presentation at orientation at school. I was the only one in the whole room (200+ people) who knew that the pic on the screen was of Rupert Murdoch. OK, maybe I was the only one willing to admit it. Wheeee. My boyfriend won a 1 GB thumb drive for answering a question posed by Michael Olson (chef/husband of Anna of Sugar fame), then had to explain to him that he isn't actually a student there.... :)

Tonight was the "mature student" mixer at the college. Other than e-mails sent out to mature students, it wasn't well advertised. There were 6 of us that showed (and one latecomer 10 minutes before it ended). There were door prizes and the organizer decided to draw for everyone....so I won a $25 Canadian Tire gift card. Woo Hoo. Also got free drinks, sandwiches, veggies, fruit, etc.

[Absolute]

A little late, but on January 3rd I won the $500 gift certificate from the Henry's on Bank Street, as part of their 100th Anniversary giveaway to the first 100 customers at each store.

Nice streak you have going. Too bad we aren't winning the Leafs Sportsnet vtech phone, that way maybe Gordon Chow would give us a ring on the last game of the year. If you answer, it's worth $50K

How did you find out about the Vtech win? Did they call you because the website hasnt been updated

[HarmanKardon]

And what about the febreeze win? Did they email you or did you get it in the mail. I entered every friggin day and heard nothing.

[HarmanKardon]

With the Vtech one's they call you and ask a skill-testing question. However, they are slow to update the winner's list.

Has anyone on the board actually lost a prize because they couldn't do the STQ?

Or has anyone ever given the wrong answer and been given a second chance?

What time of day do they call?

[kcotoulas]

i believe the stq for vtech is
10 * 10
+ 20
/ 4
=
30
they called my wife at about 5pm

[Bidchka]

What time of day do they call?

Vtech 2007 called around lunchtime.
Vtech 2008 called around dinnertime.

Both times same lady and same STQ.

[Bidchka]

My first time I had to answer the STQ for Vtech 2007, I made a mistake. However she was nice enough to say to me " are you sure you want to go with THAT answer ?" :o

However that being said, I did lose a trip prize that time because I didn't answer the phone with the proper "codeword"

[Bidchka]

My wife and I were all excited to use our two $5 gift cards at Orange Julius in the Promenade this past weekend. Guess what ? It's closed. I don't think there are any others anywhere near me.

I read the back of the card, good thing it's good at any Dairy Queen too :)

[Happy13178]

Vtech was a call around lunchtime, Febreeze was via mail, no other contact.

[morality28]

for the people who have won through vtech.....do you delete those annoying confirmation emails they send everyday? I know it says you don't have to answer them but I'm just wondering

:confused:

my second trip i won (grey cup in grand prize trip in 04) i got it wrong and the caller said i got the question wrong and was asked if i used badsm and i stated i used bedmas and they stated i try again. so i tried based on what it sounded like what they said and gave that answer which was different then the one i did when i used bedmas and they stated i was correct and i was awarded the grand prize.

[Happy13178]

I'm still entering that one...the STQ for 3 in to win was easy...10 x 10 + 20 / 4. Still, I had to get a new phone soon anyways, old ones were getting sketchy, so this was excellent timing. :)

Not sure... Although the Crema 4000 coffee machine ended yesterday hmmm...

[AmberMoon]

Thanks to all of the contributors to the contest forum!

What happens if you don't pick up the phone? I get a ridiculous amount of telemarketers, so I tend to screen my calls to the numbers that I recognize. Would they leave a voicemail? Would they try to contact you via email or no such luck?

For the V-tech contest, I never get a confirmation email.

I get lots of telemarketer calls too and know that I've missed out on prizes. Most recently I missed a call from Cottage Life. The prize was a lot of Christmas ornaments, no biggy.

When I won the Raptors Vtech contest, they left a message on my answering machine for me to call them. Did the STQ over the phone. Also caller id was not unknown name/number there was a company's name on my callers Id's list, just can't remember the name of the promotions company that called. Good luck

[Kalel]

it all depends on the contest people. i have won contests and received no phone call or e-mail. i should note i always check my spam/junk folder before emptying cause i do not want to find out later i missed out on a prize. this being said i can remember one time i won a contest and my name was posted on their website before the contest was suppose to be over.

I ended up picking up the Panasonic SDE-SW20, the underwater camcorder. I already have the Olympus 1030SW for scuba diving, so I figured I might as well grab it. I tend to drop cameras and get them wet, so this seemed like a safer idea.

I also picked up a lens cleaner brush, camera bag, Olympus flotation band for the camera, and something else I can't remember. :) Not bad for only intending to buy the brush, with a $10 certificate!

I've gone three times to the henrys in thornhill.. i'm 3 for 3 with $10 GCs

Lol, not bad - for the large line up at the beginning, they were still giving out gift certificates to late comers who weren't waiting in line, after an hour. Well, downtown, at least!

[Raycaster]

I won a $25 GC from Henry's waiting in line in Ancaster.

I think a woman who parked sideways taking up two spots won the $500 GC.
She got out of her car, stood for a moment looking at her parking job and then went to the line. In Ancaster that's normal parking unless you can find an empty HandiCap parking spot.

Anyways... (Down from the soapbox)

I bought a plastic cover for my New Apple Touch. Got home only to realize the the Gen1 and Gen2 are slightly different shaped...

Should take it back but avoiding the hassle...

There wasn't a hundred people in line at the Thornhill location either. They didn't even give out all the envelopes right away.

I must have entered 500-600 contests in the last 3 months, many of them ending Dec 31. Nothing...:cry:

Hope something happens soon:lol:

I enter more than 100 daily. Bidchka enters probably more than 200 daily. So 500 is about 3 days of entering for us. Be patient because you will win. And then its all worth the effort :cheesygri

Yes, I actually did the math last year and I win about 1 contest for every 1,000 I enter. I enter about 100 daily.

I've won 3 contests so far this year with a total value of $375. I guess I'm a little ahead of the once per 1,000 for now, but it will probably average out to that in the end, lol.

O.k. I guess I'm a little short;) So of course my next question is...where in the world do find that many available contests:?: I do try to keep bookmarks organized by daily, weekly, etc but I never find that many.

Do you find it difficult to manage what contest you can enter, and when? What I mean is, knowing which ones you've entered already, and if applicable, when you can enter again?

I usually don't worry about the weekly contests too much. Enter them once and if I remember later one, I'll do them for the next week. I have my daily contests lined up on my quick links. About 50 of them (some of the links have a handful of contests in it like tribute.ca). I'd say I enter over 100 a day. Because I always find a few one time entry ones that get posted or a few new daily ones to enter.

Keep at it everyone! I was losing hope but finally starting to win SOMETHING. :p

I use a program called Sweeps. Its free but no longer supported or updated. Ive used it for over 6 years now and had it crash twice, meaning I lost all my contests. A way around that is to backup the config file, which I do now via an external drive.

You can put in how often it can be entered (daily,24 hours, weekly, every 7 days, monthly, etc) Once you enter you hit done and it goes green. it wont turn red again until the alloted time is up to enter again.

Works for me, check my wins list in another thread

I enter about 150 a day and have seen good results but you need to enter a lot to win a lot.

[Bidchka]

I enter more than 100 daily. Bidchka enters probably more than 200 daily.

probably is a good word to use ;)

Are you spilling my family secrets :lol: :razz: :D


And like calliesmum has learnt, it doesn't hurt not to shave.

:lol: Brother, I expect a birthday present.

I use a very simple method for my contest entries. For entries on RFD, I click the THANKS button located right below the first post. That way when looking for new contests...I already know if I entered them or not. Very useful for onetime entry of contests.
I have a folder called contests on my IE favorites. Each day I click thru them. Each contest is ordered by name - STQ - UPC if needed - Expiry Date.

[Bidchka]

:lol: Brother, I expect a birthday present.


I'd much rather give you a baby gift. ;)

[Deans21]

I used to enter a ton of contests but after leaving the Pepsi Win Every Hour contest empty that one year, I sort of quit for awhile. I recently came back and won an XBox through the Score. Now I'm back to all my dailies!

Just keep trying.

[TYinYVR]

I enter maybe 25-50 a day but it all depends sometimes more sometimes less. But I only enter the contests that I want to win. I don't enter EACH and EVERY contest I find. If I did I would be entering 20 hours a day.

The only thing is if a contest gives you a entry every day, enter every day. Most people just enter once and come back and say. "I never win:(:(:("

Just remember if the contest is advertised on TV like the TSN 1 million dollar shot contest. The odds of winning are not great. I think they said they had over 100000 entries. Better odds than 649 but not great.

Better chances are with local contests in your area, from your local newspaper, Radio or TV stations.

If you enter every day you will win something. Maybe not the BIG 1st place prize. But usually a secondary prize.

You more likely to win a contest with 1000 prizes. Like 5 big prizes and 995 small prizes. Then a contest with just 1 grand prize.

Just play the odds.

I'm at 8 wins over the past 30 days, half small, half medium. Before Dec 31st I was doing about 200 a day, but a bunch closed, think I'm around 100-150 now. Before this last month, won almost nothing for a couple months. It all evens out in the end.

I would have to disagree with your comment contests advertised on tv. I won a trip to Las Vegas from City TV and Speakers Corner. It was davertised durning Speakers program, on its the S.C. website, all City TV owned tv stations and their other websites. When I won it I was told only 4 people entered and in fact one of the runner ups was underage so on top of the top prize I got that as well. The best advice is enter cause you never know and one thing I think we can all agree on is you cannot win if you never enter.

[rcit]

Great info! Thanks everyone...I know it will happen...just waiting it out:D

[calliesmum]

I am with you, wanting to win, something big, but to keep positive, our household has won lately: 2 tickets to New in town, 4 tickets to Revolutionary Road, chick flicks but after Strangers and the other ones hubby made me sit through, he can sit through a chick flick and any complaints and I will use my passes on my friends LOL

But would like something other than movie passes, although I like going to see a movie for free once a month it has been for the last four months.

Trip, cash, big tv ( sorry Bidchka, I am after your prize) a car, and Stereo System oh and a Wii , I really want one of those, and an Ipod, there that is my wish list,

We should start a wish list section in winners and see who gets closest to getting everything on their list at the end of the year, keep us focussed,

Just received the basket of LaCoupe products I won from Glow.ca and was quite surprised when I opened the UPS box. They had put the basket in a box with a few pieces of packing paper on the top (no padding) and low and behold everything inside was covered in a thick layer of shampoo and conditioner. An entire bottle of shampoo and half a bottle of conditioner was covering everything in the basket. I just spent 30mins trying to wash everything that was salvageble. Don't get me wrong, I know that there are people who would have liked to have won this and I am grateful for the win but come on, they could have used some bubble wrap or something.

Sorry, that's the end of my rant. Congrats to all of the recent winners :)

[slimmswitch]

I just realized today Crush never sent me my T-Shirt i won, so i went to the site and looked at the winners list, and behold my name was nowhere to be seen.

Not Cool,

Sent them a email but who knows if they'll even check that email address now.

I'm like Corona above, and don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth, but the Crush T-shirt is perhaps the flimsiest tee I have ever seen. Looks like it cost way less than a dollar to manufacture. I was about to put it into the Goodwill box when my son said that he could (and does) use it to sleep in.

And I'm only saying this so that you'll know that you didn't really miss out on anything by not getting it.

Way to go! That's 2 RFD for Hoover!
Let's hope we see more!

Did you find out what watch it was? As per the contest rules, there is the standard one with an ARV of $185. There is also the one for PIN entry winds with an ARV of $275...
Hope it's the latter for ya!

UPDATE:
Oooh! After re-reading the rules, now I hope you got the small watch (for both our sakes).
They are doing the general prize draws first, then ALL entries earned by PIN (including bonus entries from PIN submitters) are transferred to the PIN prize draws. No limit on prizes per participant, so we may have a shot at some grand prizes yet! LOL!

Seriously, Thanks Bidchka and everyone who contributes to the forum. I will take many pics and post for your enjoyment. If I had the money I would buy a little something for everyone while I'm there.

Funny thing is....about 3 months ago I was the grand prize winner in the HBC contest and I won luggage I never thought I'd use. This is too CRAZY!!!!!!!!!

Oh wowwww....to cool! Congrats...even if I was really crossing my fingers on that contest...:cry: lol. Enjoy!

Congrats on the win and can you stop hoggin all my prizes please :P

LOL...+1

I received a snail mail from "Promotion Solutions" today, enclosed was a $15 card to starbucks.. no congrats or who it's from. I'll count it as a win though - yay!!

congrats on the win

[ladyb]

Just received the basket of LaCoupe products I won from Glow.ca and was quite surprised when I opened the UPS box. They had put the basket in a box with a few pieces of packing paper on the top (no padding) and low and behold everything inside was covered in a thick layer of shampoo and conditioner. An entire bottle of shampoo and half a bottle of conditioner was covering everything in the basket. I just spent 30mins trying to wash everything that was salvageble. Don't get me wrong, I know that there are people who would have liked to have won this and I am grateful for the win but come on, they could have used some bubble wrap or something.

Sorry, that's the end of my rant. Congrats to all of the recent winners :)

I totally understand. When I won the Bick's prize pack this summer they shipped 12 jars of pickles, relish, etc. The corn relish was broken, so I called the contest fulfilment company. She wasn't exactly pleasant (and I wasn't looking for replacement, just to advise) and she sent 2 more jars of relish. Unfortunately, the 2nd jar of corn relish was broken, too! If anything they need to know their packing job needs improvement.

My second prize is a new digital camera acording to online sources has a SRP of $160. Now I got to figure out if I should hold onto it and sell the replacement I bought last year or sell the newer camera and keep the one I bought last year.

This is just a friendly reminder to pick up your prize won:

SilverCity double pass.

Tickets must be picked up by end of business day Wednesday, February 18, 2009 at The Hamilton Spectator Customer Service Lobby.

We have computers though, even though hubby came home to see it, I told him before he opens it to decide whether we really need it, maybe we can trade it for GC for something we could really use, renovation stuff other electronics, I want a home theatre system,

But happy it came, poor hubby, he looked so sad, but I don't buy into getting the newest and the best everytime it comes out, it is cool though, a really new concept, we will probably end up keeping it ....

I won the HP Pavilion from Staples, and we love it! Web cam and built in mic work great over Skype with family out of town.
The only thing I would suggest you consider (if you already have a laptop):
-it comes with Windows Vista 64 bit (if it's like mine)
I would have MUCH pref'd if it didn't, but considering this one blows the roof off our old one it was a no-brainer to keep.

So far, love it. Hope you are happy, no matter what you choose!

On to my exciting first wins of 2009 :o
A Disney enchanted call
and a ice melter pail from Canada post clear the way

[sharonnelt]

I won a pair of passes to see the Pink Panther next Thursday - too bad I am in Sunny Florida - dont worry - I am sending someone.

[llsaro]

:confused: I was informed by T1 Fulfillment that I was a weekly winner in the Get Some Luck Sweepstakes. I received the release form, filled it out and faxed it in. TODAY I receive another email asking if I received their first email and reminding me that the multiplication in the skill-testing question had to be done before other steps. The skill-testing question read " 4x2-2x3". I'm 45 years old and have been taught that you do math from left to right. If there are brackets, you do the things in the brackets first and then incorporate it from left to right. As there are no brackets, my answer was 18 as 4x2 is 8 minus 2 is 6 times 3 is 18. Do you think I could/should argue this if they come back and say I'm not a winner? It's only for a $25 2008 Silver Hologram coin - but that's not the point. I believe they should spell out any "special" rules for their skill testing questions before the fact and not after. Any and all feedback welcomed.

Answer is 2.
Brackets Exponents Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction (BEDMAS) is the order ;)

Soda.....great song. Deal Princess, were you a punk rock girl back in the day? =)

I'm not sure what GOB has been up to lately...I think they've been out of action for a little while. They must be releasing a new album.

Last I heard they aren't in the process of making a new album. The Banshee Song from their last album has been playing on a lot of radio stations latley though.

Answer is 2.
Brackets Exponents Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction (BEDMAS) is the order ;)

It all depends as I have stated in other posts there have been times and given the skill testing math question over the phone I used BEDMAS and was told the answer was wrong and before anyone asks I did use a calculator. Lucky for me the times BEDMAS was wrong I was given another opportunity and a "hint".

[mnepper]

Lucky for me the times BEDMAS was wrong I was given another opportunity and a "hint".

It's an unfortunate truth that not all contests follow BEDMAS (even when given in written form). If the contest goes true to mathematical conventions, a written equation should ALWAYS be done with BEDMAS.
As a rule, when someone gives me an STQ over the phone, I write it down as they say it, repeat it to them, and then ask if it is done using BEDMAS or in the order they gave it to me. Then I calculate and answer. Haven't had anyone give me a hard time yet (and I've had both situations of doing it in order and in BEDMAS - and one where she wasn't sure and had to work it out herself before telling me! LOL!)

[ladyb]

My very first online contest win, years ago, was for a box of Nelson DeMille books from Time-Warner. I received a call from their office to do the STQ. I did it first on paper and then quickly on a calculator to confirm, and gave her the answer. She told me I was wrong. I asked her to do the math and when she did, she found out that the answer SOMEONE ELSE had written down for her was wrong. :)

[Spidey]

Energizer prize was an electronic connect 4

[llsaro]

Thanks for all the help. I "resubmitted" the BEDMAS answer and am hoping they'll accept that. Guess we'll wait and see.

Brackets I understand.
Exponents? what are they
Division
Multiplication
Addition
Subtraction

I must write this down somewhere and should I be fortunate enough to ever get my name drawn for something else I'll asked - One Room Schoolhouse Math or BEDMAS. :cheesygri

Exponents are often referred to as "To the power of" IE 2 to the power of 3 equals 8 (2x2x2). They are indicated as a superscipt (2 exponent 3 would be written as a normal 2 with a smaller 3 as superscript to the right of the 2).
It should also be noted that roots are included in exponents (ie sqare root, cube root, etc)

My funniest skill testing question was what was is the name of Toronto's football team. One where BEDMAS would not of helped. Anyway I got it and funny thing is it was for tickets to the 2004 Grey Cup in Ottawa. At the time of the win it was not known who would be playing in it but ironically (if that is right term) Toronto ended up being in it and winning it.

Thanks Kcotoulas for posting this link about phone #'s, received a call yesterday from a 206 # and found out it was a scam through this link, seems like alot of ppl are getting calls from this particular #..hmm guess someone sold my phone # to someone!!

I got the same winning email but am not sure how to answer the question. I know what Bedmas is but, there are no brackets to do first. Left to right? I also entered the question into google and got an answer in which they added the brackets......


Edited - Duh.... I guess it doesn't matter if there are no brackets shown. Just move on with the steps of Bedmas. Brackets, Exponentiations, division, multiplication, addition then subtraction.

[dmdsoftware2]

Oh my god :) Can't believe how rusty people are with their math :) I think BEDMAS was done in grade 3? hehehe

Most contests throw the brackets in as a reminder what operations are done firstly. BEDMAS is universal, so if you see any math equation, it is considered wrong if you don't follow BEDMAS while solving.

[kcotoulas]

Just make sure you don't reply to the actual message she sent because then everyone she wrote it to can see your address!

Btw, bedmas was grade 7:).

I dont think it's being rusty , i call it being careful, i've had a few contests where they did not follow bedmas. They just said do it left to right.:-0

I got the reply that someone else had sent her with their answer and address. Don't type in the "reply all" box at the bottom of the email. Go back to the top and hit "reply" under her name or the whole group will get it!!

[Kamloops]

I answered both ways, bedmas and without using bedmas and received this response. Also I got an email replying to her from someone else that entered showing her answer and personal details. Yikes!

You won the gum!
I should have put something in the message about BEDMAS. I've gotten that question alot. Definitely will next time : )


Gum will be packaged next week, so you should receive it shortly after.


Thanks!

Hey Juicy Fruit Fans,

There are a few of you who have your Facebook settings so we can't contact you through a Facebook message. Because of this, I'm having trouble notifying some of the gum winners. Can you please adjust your settings for this site - thanks!

[AmberMoon]

I think this was my problem as I have it hidden i think, I believe I fixed it, we shall see if not ill send her a quick pm. Only requirment was a basketball theme which it was ( No Not photoshoped :P) So we shall see.

I think many people haven't got notification yet. There were 12 people notified in the same batch as I was.

By the way, how to you fix the issue so she can notify you? Fortunately mine came through fine, but I am sure many others are wondering how to make sure they will receive their email.

Thanks Chris, I realized now that I definitely should have put a note in about BEDMAS. I'll make sure we do next time : )

Gum will be packaged next week, so you can expect your prize soon

So the correct answer is the product of BEDMAS.

Let me just garauntee you that small prizes like that spark even more interest in entering contests. When I joined last year, I was losing hope that I was ever going to win, and then I won a pedometer (yes, a pedometer win got me hooked on contests) and its been a hobby ever since. Congrats on the gum! More wins will come for you soon

[Softprog]

Hmmmm
I received a phone call from 514-874-1862
I couldn't answer because I was in the shower ;)

I tried to call them but the offices were closed .
The recorded message said "Welcome to OSL communication"

I'm kinda intrigued by that especially since I know they let the phone ring about 15 times.

Maybe it was phone spam maybe I won something...
hehe who knows?

Don't worry, OSL isn't spam! They're a marketing firm with a lot of big companies, who probably were calling about a contest. =)

I've worked with them through Dare Foods many times, placing contests on their website. This would be their Montreal office, although they also have a Mississauga one.

[diamond_girl23]

Won a $50 GC to 2for1 Pizza on the radio...they had me on hold for Rapid Fire (answer 8/10 questions right to win) but they ran out of time on that segment so they asked me just one question (who starred in these 3 films?). I quickly googled it and won! LOL...going to a potluck on Christmas Eve and I hate to cook, so I'm just going to bring a bunch of chicken wings from 2for1 Pizza! :lol:


Okay I quoted myself above because I waited the obligatory 30 days before I tried...and won again! The exact same way! So my first win of 09 is another $50 GC to 241 Pizza. Awesome. :razz:

[Phikshin]

Well this week has been very good for me. It was my first win since I was like 8 (other than like 5-10$ in lottery once a year). I first won a years supply for being one of the first to submit a picture in the juicy fruit contest and then they contacted me today and I won the grand prize which is a ps3 (it also says that theres a chris bosh jersey and a years supply of juicy fruit but not sure if there included in that). Pretty happy right now.

[diamond_girl23]

Okay I won 2 for 2 today (and its only 12:45pm!)....2 different radio stations, the first one $50 to 241 Pizza and just now I won a pair of tickets to see The Colour Purple at the Canon Theatre. I had a choice to pick one of 4 doors...the other prizes were luggage or trip to Mexico or even $5G! But I got a pair of tickets to a show...oh well!

[cassmat]

From the Air Hogs contest....a screen saver, which I declined, lol!

At least I started the month off right!

Awesome. I would love a PS3. If it says you were to get a Bosh jersey too, I wouldn't let that go so quick. Congrats once again and hopefully we won't need to wait another 15 years before we hear another win from you again.

"Your online entry was drawn as a selected entrant for the Herbal Essences Fantasy Hair Contest. "

I'll be shooting during the first intermission (against 2 others).
If only one person gets the puck in, they win.
If more than one, it's a random draw of those who score.
If no one gets the puck in, it's a random draw between all 3.
So at least, no matter what, someone will win the prise.

[jane22]

Hey everyone,

I submitted my declaration & release form on Monday for the Garnier Live in Style contest. I sent an email to the contact name provided informing them I have faxed the documents and asked for confirmation of its receipt. I called yesterday and left a voice mail message, but I have not been contacted.

I simply want to know that they received my fax ( the requested method to submit the forms), should I keep trying to contact them?

Forms were to be received within 10 days of the email, today will be 8 days.

STQ was 2 + ( 4x7) /3 = 10

[mnepper]

Hey everyone,

STQ was 2 + ( 4x7) /3 = 10

Yet another example of PEDMAS out the window!!!
By PEDMAS rules (which are the way all mathematical problems are supposed to be solved), this STQ should have been:
4 x 7 = 28
28 / 3 = 9.3333333333333333333333... (or 9 1/3 if you prefer)
9 1/3 + 2 = 11 1/3.

Now, jane22, is it safe to assume this was written on the forms exactly as you indicated it?

And don't worry, I'm sure who ever came up with the STQ meant it to be 10, they just didn't pass math in high school! LOL!

[jane22]

Yes that is exactly how it was written. I also received your other answer but figured they would never have a decimal as the answer. Has anyone ever had a STQ with a decimal before? other than .0 :)

ps: on my 4th attempt to contact Sid Lee I have received a response that my forms were received - phew!

Ya I had one from Rogers for a trip to Cuba a few years back. It was a while ago but i clearly remember the answer being something like 3.25 or something similar. I had to do it three times because I thought like you, that they wouldn't give a question with a Point in it. The person who gave the STQ only laughed when i gave him the answer because I told him there is no way this is right even though it was)

I googled and didn't find much. I visited their site and saw that their "memberships" are worth $5950.

Anyone ever deal with these guys?

I haven't posted in this thread for months, mainly because I've stopped entering most contests. I deleted my entire Contests bookmarks folder and unsubscribed to my daily contest feeds. Part of it was a long stretch of bad luck throughout 2008, but also I realized how much time I was spending (and wasting) giving out a lot of personal information. In hindsight, it was a good decision because my luck has moved on to other parts of my life.

Good luck and happy contesting. :)

Best to you Prodigy! Glad to hear you're having luck with other things now that you've stopped entering.

I've had quite a bit of luck since I started, but any long stretches without a win make me start to wonder if it's worth the time and personal info. So far I have concluded that it is, but that may change as well.

May your good fortunes continue, however they manifest themselves!

Finally after 4 months this stinking prize finally arrived.

http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/bidchka/DSC_0110.jpg


Yup that title isn't a typo.

Under my coaxing, my mother-in-law won a contest from Sears. She won the Limited Edition Knight Rider MIO GPS holder. The way she explained it, it was kinda funny too. The woman calls and immediately my mother-in-law is saying "sorry not interested" before the lady could explain she won. So afterwards, my mother-in-law says to the lady " What in bloody hell am I going to do with a GPS holder when I don't own a GPS ?" And the Sears lady responds, "Yeah, I know, it's a foolish prize" And then the lady asks what the closest Sears store is and my mother-in-law tells her the Shops on Steeles location. The Sears lady says, sorry that one doesn't count and she had to pick a different location. The Shops on Steeles location is about 1 and half minutes walking from her house but instead she has to drive to Promenade now.

Thanks for listening to me babble.. :D

My first full year of contesting (2007) netted me prizes totalling just over $8,000 and I won about half that last year.

I spend about 1 hour a day entering contests, and do so while I'm enjoying my coffee in the morning, so I guess I "earned" about $22 per hour of effort that first year and only $11 per hour last year. I don't consider that a waste, because I used to just watch the news in the morning while drinking my coffee. Now, I have my coffee, enter the contests AND watch the news in the background, lol.

Glad to hear that other things are working out for you, even if contesting didn't.

You know what - I am just having fun at this. I think this year so far I have won about $100 worth of stuff but it is just so much fun. I decided not to contest while I was on vacation and i do not regret that decision. It is something to be done in your spare time and you will eventually reap rewards. I enjoy reading when others win. That being said - I still want the BB and the new TV. Cross your fingers!!!

I would have to say that these days they have only occurred to CD or DVD wins. However once ( back in bandcamp ) when I entered a Family Channel contest I came home one day from school to find a box sitting on my porch. Turns out I had won second prize which was a top of the line Sony VCR. That goes back about 20 years tho.

I agree...sounds like someone stole the batteries. Mine already had batteries in the game, and then they sent an extra pk of AAA batteries.
Probably not worth to contact them...too much trouble!

Should have came with it BUT you are talking about $4 worth of battery's and I seriously doubt your time and energy is worth $4 but worth a lot more. Plus the rules do not state battery's will come with toy so just move on :)

Some people might thi this comment is petty but if you get a damaged prize I do not think it is a waste of time informing someone about it. It's not like they said if you win we will send you a damaged product. It would be one thing if a corner had a nick or part of the instruction booklet was foolded. Its not very good business after all it effects your enjoyment.

Most contest have a clause in their rules that state they are not responsible for lost, damaged or stolen prizes. Of course it dosen't hurt to ask if your prize has been damaged but most will direct you back to the rules and state they are not responsible;e.

[horsie]

I also got a coupon for the Dole Salad Kit. I played everyday but never got the winning message. I guess they didn't end up giving them all out through the instant win game.

It's a small win but for some reason I tried really hard for it.

:D

[Kalel]

Still I think given the circumstances a major damaged gift/prize is not professional. I can understand if it was a case of the prize being damaged due to the way it was shipped or the way the delivery was handled they should. I have had friends who got ddamaged prizes with the rule stated and the company replaced it like I said what use is a damaged item plus considering in most cases the company could have a big charge shipping the prize out with the thought/idea that the gift/prize would be delivered intact but if it does not get delivered intact they are not getting there monies worth either.

I wish. But it would also require a time machine, the Isle of Wight Concert was in 1970. This was just tickets to see the movie on the big screen presented in HD. It was only being played tonight and then released on disc later this month.

It's OK Bidchka, sooner or later you'll win a time machine too, so you CAN go see the concert. ;)

HAHA....yeah I realize that. I just thought they were re-doing the concert and maybe the remaining members of the band were getting back together or something as that happens all the time now.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I guarantee that if I win a time machine, you can come too :)

Local contests truly are the way to go. The prizes aren't often glamorous, but the number of people entering pretty much guarantees you a win.

Watch out though, many contests specifically state that only manual entries are accepted and probably use software to detect manual keystrokes.

That's a good question, because we'll actually be in Europe at that time.

I was thinking of giving them to "Kids Up Front", the charity that gets tickets to events for free and takes terminally ill children to the event.

[pickmepickme]

Well, what's hard for me, and I'm sure Bidchka too, is when you win only two tickets, you have to choose which of your kids to take.

:confused:

But since he'll be in Europe (have fun, Bidchka), he won't have to choose one child over the other this time.

[Bidchka]

I was actually unsuccessful in a prior attempt to donate tickets to them. If anyone recalls from last year, I won two tickets to a Montreal Alouettes home game that didn't include transportation. So I called them up and they said that Montreal was the only major Canadian city that they didn't service. :confused:

[Bidchka]

With Ty? I noticed in one of his threads him saying that he's going to Europe. It's so nice to see you guys getting along.:D


I knew someone would spot that.

I am not sure where Ty is heading, but I'm heading to London with the family for our biannual trip to visit family. In 2007 I attended an awesome Arsenal vs. Blackburn match. Hopefully this time I'll be going again since the family has seasons tickets to the 'Ars.

And before anyone asks..yes I will take my laptop with me :o

gigil, most times they will can arrange extra nights for you at your expense and change your flight for you too..so you can get the most time out of your trip.

ive won 2 trips this yr and both times they have told me i could extend the amount of days if i wanted extra time..but at my expense.

im broke..so i said no :P

Did you read the email Edmond sent as a followup. Initially, the prize was a run of engagement pass for two. The correction now reads admit two for advance screening only on March 4th. As for delivery of tickets, you have to go and pick them up yourself or give someone your id to pick them up.

[vorthex]

cant remember the contest name but it had prizes for the new i7 Core Extreme processor and Far Cry 2.

I won the Far Cry 2 for the PC.

I got 3 emails...the most recent was a few hours ago stating that you don't need to pick them up in person anymore, you print out a form and bring it to the theatre to exchange for the passes. I always expected it to be an advance screening, so it's all good for me. Plus, I don't even remember entering it, so everything's a bonus.

I posted this in my welcome thread, but I wanted to share with fellow RFD'ers here since it is a contest win -- I am last week's winner of TripCentral.ca's Daily Trip Trivia Challenge. The trip is for a week, and is an all-inclusive package at the Melia Cayo Guillermo in Cayo Coco, Cuba.

The only thing I'm being asked to pay for is departure taxes. I've been sent some reservation and information forms which I need to fax back this week and I've been informed that my tickets will be electronic tickets, delivered to me via e-mail, a week prior to my departure date. Call me paranoid, but I'm just used to getting receipts for everything and having tangible tickets. The site seems reputable enough though, so I'm not sure.

Bottom line is that I've never won a trip through a contest before, so I guess I'm wondering if all of this is normal? Like... what is the typical procedure for something like this and what sort of questions should I be asking/what should I be on the lookout for?

Apologies in advance if this should be in its own thread -- no hijacking intended here. I just wasn't sure where I should go about posting this... a "contest win" thread vs. a "travel" thread.

Anyways, any feedback on any of this would be really appreciated. Thanks, everyone! :D

alot of trip tickets for one week are emailed tickets. I've had a couple of trips with itravel2000 this way. There is nothing to worry about.

Thanks for the input, kcotoulas. I've PM'ed you as well to find out more. And yeah the taxes are a bit of a blemish on an otherwise great win, but for what I'm getting I'll take it, lol. It helps that I did my taxes really early this year -- my refund has me all covered!

That's awesome! I've been entering that contest everyday and some of those questions totally crack me up...LOL

Anyway, I also won a trip late last year to Italy and it was the exact same procedure. E-tickets are the way to go now (I have travelled quite a bit and haven't had an actual ticket in years!) and the only reason they wait til closer to the date to send you your ticket is probably because they've reserved them and want to make sure nothing changes. As far as the taxes are concerned, I paid a total of $600 in taxes (which includes the two of us) on a $6000 trip! It's a great return on that little bit of money you have to pay out. Have fun!

A quick OT question if I may...

How does everyone store information for daily entries which require UPC or PIN numbers? With Robocopy yes it's nice to fill the form, but I still have trouble managing this EXTRA information. I had tried adding the UPC when I add my bookmark, but then copy/pasting it later is an annoyance.

Anyone??

An update to the Intel Core i7 Far Cry 2 contest I won back in January. I haven't received my prize yet but heard from another winner in the UK who said she received a core i7 920 processor instead of the core i7 965 Extreme. The 920 goes for about $360 while the 965 goes for more than $1200.

http://contest.ubi.com/Main.aspx?Context_ID=20&Activity=COREI7_EMEA&Zone=EMEA&Locale=en-GB

As you can see this a huge price difference and I'm pretty sure Intel cannot substitute a prize for one worth so much less. I guess I'll find out soon when I get mine if they're doing this to all 30 CPU winners. I guess I'll file a complaint if they do.

Ya that wouldnt be too fair and if you do get the lower value one I would speak up as the rules always state equal or greater value after what the prize is if they have to substitute it.

[Aerya]

I started entering contests in early December, and my first win came in yesterday. I won passes to see I Love You Man at my local independent theatre on Thursday the 12th. It was from DOSE.ca.

I'm not super excited, because well, a lot of people win those, and I've won passes from DOSE before when entering just once... and I *think* I only entered once this time too.

Oh well. Maybe next time will be bigger.

Just out of curiosity, how many people steer away from using Roboform b/c they're scared their entry will be disqualified?

Or, to better rephrase the question...how many of your contest wins have been with entries that were filled in using Roboform (or any other automated form filler)?

I started using Roboform a few months ago, and I wanted to know if my losing streak as of late had anything to do with it ;)

[kcotoulas]

I have won probably at least $5000 worth of prizes, all with using roboform (unless its flash)

[ladyb]

thanks for the response. One more question tho; does continually saying no when they ask you to sign up to receive newsletters, etc, affect your chances to win or are they completely irrelevant?

It doesn't affect it. I still usually say yes as it's a way to find out about contests they have in the future. That's why I have the "junk" mail account. These companies are looking for traffic to their sites, which the contests generate.

All of my wins have been from entering with roboform from small items like CD's to cash and trips. I think the ones that would DQ someone for using Roboform are far and few

i also use roboform however is there any way to save the way a specific page is filled out? i know i can make a rule for a specific field, but it takes too much time i would like the program to save the way i filled it in and use it next time, i read somewhere about passcards that i understand work as above but i have the free version of robo, and wonder if there is a way to this. thanks

robo lets you do it, I think on the free version is only a handful of pages you can save how you fill it out and unlimited on the pro version ( which is what i have) fill in your form and then click save on the toolbar and presto every time you go back to that page you can click the button on your tool bar that is associated with the page

In all of my contest wins I have never used usform or any similar programs and I have won thnigs like trips, a HD TV and some smaller stuff. My thought isd if a person is entering so many contests that Roboform or similar programs make things easier then they are entering to many contests. I should mention to that probably 90% of the contest I enter I only enterr once even if it says I can enter more then once.

Rules say you get to pick the jersey colour.

[tominto]

I spoke too soon; I just won a watchmen swag bag from metronews :)

I won the IIHF Jersey too, I picked white(Home)

[Helios]

Congratulations!! You are a winner of the “Race to Witch Mountain” contest on Tribute.ca. You have won a double advance screening pass to see Race to Witch Mountain.

I haven't been winning much this year either (total of 6 prizes worth a total of $475), and I'm hoping that if I whine about it more wins will come my way too!

Whining works for me but no major wins since December - really want the bugaboo or the new washer and dryer.

I don't see any winners posted for the A Channel Washer & Dryer.. I wonder, since they closed the morning part if they will award the prize :confused:

How do people here determine what month/ year they won a prize in? Do you prefer to go by when you receive, when you are told, when the contest closes?

2009 seems to be a slow start for some.. our times will come!

This is a letter I have to sign and return with my choice of color.
And this was the first news I had about this contest win.

[bug]

Got my prize from the Intel Core i7 Contest today. Intel France goofed and sent a core i7 920 processor instead of a 965 Extreme though. I contacted them and they replied:

Dear Winner,

Based on winners’ feedback of the core i7 contest, it happens that an internal operational mistake happened during the prize delivery process.

---The order of Core i7 Extreme Edition processors has been changed to Core i7 920.

We want to sincerely apology for this.

We are now in working the process to make sure that you receive the right prize and value you won.

We will keep you informed.

Please contact me if you want to have more information.

Best Regards, and please accept our apologies again, as this was not meant to happen.

We are taking all actions to make sure this will not happen again.

Here's the pic of what I got:

The 920 goes for about $360 and the 965 about $1250.

I was notified today that my review of Little BIG Planet was one of the winners for last week! They told me the game I won would be randomly selected from a pool of PS3 1st party games. My review has yet to be posted on the website though... This is my first win of '09 so I'm very excited! Hopefully they start pouring in now :cheesygri

(ps. I think it was Bidchka who posted this contest, so thanks! if not, then thanks OP from that contest!)

also, I saw that slimmswitch had a few reviews up on the site, any winning notifications for you?

[Utopian]

Anybody receive news of where the S.C Johnson Maxim party is going to be. The lady said someone should be in touch with me soon when I phoned her last week. Would be nice to know where it is and what is going on?

Wow what bullshi*.

I won the Far Cry 2 Intel contest. I won the PC game, unlike bug which won the CPU. The game sells for 29.99 on Ebay.

I received the game in the mail, and it said customs documentation missing. I now receive a bill in my e-mail for $32.50 WTF!?!

What a lame ass contest. Anyone have any suggestions?

As the above poster said, contact the sponsor BUT for future reference, most contests will have a clause in the rules that state they are not responsible for any fees associated with receiving the prize such as DUTY, Customs, Brokerage fees, taxes ect. Almost all rules have this clause. That being said it could have been a goof and the sponsor will offer to reimburse you but if they don't, its not their problem that you won a prize from another country. :)

Well the problem is they claim the PC game is worth $102 Canadian...???? It sells for 29.99 or cheaper on ebay...

[bug]

Well the problem is they claim the PC game is worth $102 Canadian...???? It sells for 29.99 or cheaper on ebay...

Who claims it's worth $102...UPS?
It's an OEM version not meant to be sold on its own and as such should be treated as a promo item worth nothing. I would call UPS about this and ask why they think the value is $102. The retail version is $49.99 at FutureShop.

I sent you email addresses of the guy in charge of handing out the prizes at Intel France, but don't expect a speedy reply. I also gave you the Intel USA support email info who you should also contact.

[Kalel]

Well I think I got proof of the saying things happen in threes. For most part things have been quiet for since my last win of advance passes to see "He's Just Not That Into You". Well in past week I have won the following 3 things from 3 different contests.

1) A HP Photobook

2) A Messenger Bag and Mouse Pad

3) Advance Passes to see Knowing and 3 Do It Yourself Time Capsules.

I am almost tempted to get lotto ticket since the iron is so hot.

[WandaJean]

advance passes to 17 Again

[AmberMoon]

Well the problem is they claim the PC game is worth $102 Canadian...???? It sells for 29.99 or cheaper on ebay...

Well see now that you explain it a bit better I can see your concern., If the sponsor doesn't help you can fight it with UPS. So what I suggest is printing out the rules of the contest which are http://contest.ubi.com/Terms.aspx?Context_ID=20&Activity=COREI7_US&Zone=US&Locale=en-US and as you can see they value the game at $49.99USD suggested retail price ( Ebay doesn't count) Along with any emails you may have that can help prove their estimated value is wrong.

Hopefully you are able to either get the sponsor to cover the costs or they lower the value of the item to the correct fee amount. I would hope the sponsor covers it as UPS sucks with those brokerage fees and chances are even at $49.99USD converted to Canadian value, you will be paying a pretty penny in fees

+1 If its OEM the sponsor may be able to contact UPS and correct the shipping invoice. I know a few years ago my mom sent me some photo albums and had told the shipping company who ships through UPS that it was gifts of no value and when it arrived UPS wanted to charge me like $75 for the albums , IN the end the other company who shipped it ( Like Mailboxs ect) contacted UPS and corrected the shipping information to reflect that is was a gift and I did not have to pay

Just had a baby on Sunday the 15th - Eliana Leah - wins since birth have picked up - got a call re: vtech phone - raptors.

Yippee... Hoping for the bugaboo call next week...

The baby is far better than ANY prize you could possibly win!

Congrats and enjoy.
