During the first period of the Toronto Maple Leafs game tonight, my wife's name was drawn, so she automatically won the Vtech phone.

Since I wasn't actually watching, I'm not sure if she was the qualifier for the Nissan Roadster as well. There was two penalties in the first period.

Let's hope.

I am already ordering shoes from Townshoes to give to my friends as gift. Those GCs printed "valid 12 months from date od issue" on the back, is it legal?

Otherwise, I am having hard time to choose another 10-15 pairs of shoes/handbags from them - not a lot of choices there.

I got the barbecue, which was also a part of the prize, a couple of weeks ago and the cheque last week. My streak (one big win a year) is alive! (That's 2009)

It's a sweet prize, but I may end up selling the TV. I don't have the room for it, but I could use the money.

I also got a prize pack from the GE It Pays to Make Smart Choices Sweepststakes last week, which is just a reusable shopping bag, a reusable water bottle, and a $5 coupon for a GE Energy Smart light bulb. There's no comparison, but a win is a win... :)

Thats odd I won a $500 GC from Town shoes and my gift card says nothing on the back about it being valid 12 months from date of issue. Only restrictions is typical gift card stuff bout being stolen or damaged. Also says the gift card cannot be used online and only may be used at Town shoe stores.

You had what $2500 in Town shoe "gift cards" to be used in 12 months? Well personally I could blow that much as a woman can never have too many shoes. Sucks u cant wait for newer styles to come out and buy shoes you really like rather than just buy so u dont lose the money if u wait too long.>:(

Well, less than 10 months if the GCs does expired.

Believe me, I am a shoe-aholic. I have over 50 pairs of shoes (some were still new and I have a pair not my size - I bought them just because it is beautiful!)

Town shoes doesn't have store here in Quebec, and I don't find any "really good looking" one I want from their site - another reason I was ordering a few pairs for friends.

I don't know if their store in Ottawa is big or not (if anyone call tell me), maybe I will drive the whole family down there to try-on shoes.

I got a call just before from Transcontinental Media Inc. My name was drawn as the grand prize winner for the Febreze Festive Holiday Party Contest (http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/febreze-win-festive-holiday-party-co-hosted-sebastien-centner-nov-30-09-a-785278/)

I have not answered the STQ because I was driving at the time and didn't want to talk on the phone while driving, but I'm confident with my BEDMAS when I return her call tomorrow.

The grand prize consists of a holiday house party for winner and a maximum of thirty (30) guests at the winners residence, catering arranged and supervised by Sebastien Centner + an in–person consultation with Sebastien Centner prior to party. Approximate retail value Grand prize package: $6,000 CDN Dollars and includes all food and non-alcoholic beverages, service and kitchen staff, linens, glassware and tableware but does not include applicable taxes and gratuity for service staff. Party to occur in winners’ home between December 1, 2009 (pending receipt of all release forms from winner),and January 31, 2010 (excluding December 23, 2009 – January 1, 2010) and subject to Sebastien’s availability.


Well, we had our party last night. It was arranged that we had the party at Panorama which is the 51st floor of the Manulife Centre. It was a blast and everyone had a great time. It was also a nice surprise to show up and find a little gift basket from P&G waiting for us. The customized M&Ms were a nice touch too.

Thanks P&G !! Thanks Sebastien !!

I . Is it a standard thing for them to ask me to send in a copy of my photo ID?


I ALSO WAS WONDERING WHAT OTHER HERE HAD TO DO TO RECIEVE PRIZE


The Canadian readers digest contest I won only asked for my address & phone number.

BUT THE contest for USA & Canada wanted the same info as above. But I had to pay $50 to get a notary pubic to sign the letter I got in snail mail & I had to fax & snail mail the original letter

Anyone else every won a USA Canada contest had to do the same? Also money is to paid in USA or Canadian ..Should I take the USA money ?

I've had to provide copy of photo ID on an occasional prize, but never a notarized affidavit. That is out of the ordinary I would say.

Well, we had our party last night. It was arranged that we had the party at Panorama which is the 51st floor of the Manulife Centre. It was a blast and everyone had a great time. It was also a nice surprise to show up and find a little gift basket from P&G waiting for us. The customized M&Ms were a nice touch too.

Thanks P&G !! Thanks Sebastien !!

I've had to provide photo ID a few times too, but never the notarization.

I've seen others report having done so though, especially on US contests.

I won $1,000 from GE last year. The US company in charge of the promotion wanted me to have the form to be notarized and for me to fill out a W8-BEN US tax withholding form. I first questioned them on the W8-BEN, so they said that wasn't required. I then asked if I NEEDED a notary, or if a non-family member witness would do. They were very accommodating and let a co-worker sign the form.

In December I won a pair of Sennheiser Headphones (they are actually earphones), I got a parcel delivery notice today, so I think that`s it. They never told me which model it was so I don`t know what I`m getting, but last week one person received CX 680 Sports worth around $120 US, they are so new, they are just hitting the stores now!

The letter is dated Dec. 11, 2009. The release forms to be sent back via letter or fax. They want the form sent back postmarked by Jan. 6, 2010.:lol:

So I'm not sure if I should still send the release forms? It's already past the due date. Do you guys think they want the release forms back despite it being past the deadline?

The exact same thing happened to me today. Got a notice to report to the Post Office (Prize Patrol Office :twisted:) and was expecting to see either the missing torchbearer pin we ordered months ago, or a Brio Block Prize won before Christmas, and there was these torilla warmer bowls.

The release forms included a stamped envelop, so I will send them back so the contest sponsors can have all their paperwork in order. (I would not want to discourage any contest sponsors if it becomes a hassle to have their legal paperwork in order)

You are right Waiting, it was a nice surprize :)

They give the free cruise as an incentive to try to get you to sign up for a time share vacation package. This is the 3rd time I've got something like this in the mail and into the shredder it went.

Most Zellers and The Bay contests have entries that come from instore purchases and online entries as well.

I stopped entering these about a year ago (would enter religiously every day), because I truly suspect that they only draw from the instore purchase pool.

They have had many contests where they had huge numbers of prizes to award, yet only one or two winners show up on contest sites. I can't believe that all of the hard-core contesters aren't winning, and would guess that the one or two that DO post wins, may also have made a purchase in the store as well, and just coincidentally won via that route.

Hi!
Watched a television program on Contesting about 6 months ago.
The show focused on various people who entered contests for a living.
I remember a lady winning a Smart car because she could win anything on cue and her son needed a ride.
Do these people have some sort of secret?
Since then, I've been spending 2-8 hrs a day entering.
Can't seem to win anything.
Was the show a bunch of hooey?

The show wasn't a bunch of hooey. There are people who do enter contests all the time, and those who win often (our own Bidchka being one). I've met Carolyn Willman (also featured in the show) and she is one of the most positive people I've ever met. I'm not sure I totally believe in the Law of Attraction, but keeping a positive mindset certainly helps.

Doesnt it include spending money. I had to turn down a trip for two to India last year because I couldnt come up with money for taxs and fess, came to $1200 for two people, and no spending money.

If everything is paid for except food, live on sandwiches and Kraft dinner for 9 days

Its all about positive thinking. The show ":The Secret" is a good thing to watch. Positive vibes atrract positive things. Have you ever noticed the people that say they never win anything are negative people.

Dont think so, check my winning list. In all rights I dont have a better shot than anyone else that enters, but I win alot.

Ive said many times entering local contests that this is the winning entry, and 8 times out of 10, I walk home with the prize.

Ouch. Well if accomodations are paid for and the like are paid for, really i just have to worry about food. Depends if you can live on the cheap for 9 days. A few loafs of bread and some sandwhich meat can take care of your lunches, and a couple boxes of cereal for breakfasts.


Ive won a few trips the lat few years (Whistler, NYC, Halifax) and I know the Halifax one wasnt any spending money. We lived on the cheap food wise for the time we were there, and while it kinda sucked, we still had fun, and looking back, it was no big deal eating cereal every day for breakfast.

All depends if you want to survive on the same thing for 9 days or not. Hope you can work it out

Shame it not a cash payout, I see alot of trip contests now that let you take a cash payout instead.

I'm pretty sure you can expedite a passport as long as you go to the passport office in person, just costs more. You also get access to hospitality events which means food. If you're not really into football, would it be possible for you to sell your tickets when you get there (to one or both games) and just enjoy Florida?

Not true as I won a zellers contest few years ago with only online entries. It was that contest based on their A-Z commercial they had. The X prize was an xbox 360.Other stuff was mostly household supplies. It was pretty cool they delivered the whole prize with loads of stuff in a HUGE zellers crate kinda like a treasure chest as it was hinged with a handle, I still have it.


Most Zellers and The Bay contests have entries that come from instore purchases and online entries as well.

I stopped entering these about a year ago (would enter religiously every day), because I truly suspect that they only draw from the instore purchase pool.

Very glad to hear that, but are you 100% sure that you never stepped into a Zellers store during the 3 months that the contest ran?

I still think it's incredibly strange that there are only ever 1 or 2 winners on the contest sites, when they're giving out 100's of prizes on some of their contests.

Yes I'm sure I didn't even have a HBC card which u need to get entries into it. I got one AFTER I won as I had a coupon and a $50 gift card they gave me with the xbox 360 for bonus points if i buy a game and wireless controller. I bought halo3. So it was when that game was released when I won the contest for time reference.

You can definately expedite a passport. I did it about 4 years when I won a Visa contest. You can get one next day, 2-7 business days or regular. Different price points of course. Hopefully you can work it out and go!

nope-no spending money..I am so stupid for letting my passport expire in 2000 and not renewing it...im an idiot.

If you live close to a passport office and hand in your form in person, it takes around 14 working days. If you pay $30 extra, they can let you pick-up a day before departure (if under 14 days).

Hi all,

This is not what I would call a contest win, but it certainly qualifies as the biggest win of my entire life.

This morning at approximately 2am, my wife and I welcomed our first child into the world. We have been trying for several years and were convinced that it wasn't going happen when my wife found out she was pregnant in March.

I didn't have any big contest wins this year, but I'm attributing that to using up all of my luck with this conception :)

I am a very happy man right now! The highs I've experienced from some of my biggest contest wins don't hold a candle to this!

I was thinking the same thing! Even walmart, groceries for a long time! But she did say specifically a Jewelry store, so we will see what I can get.

"Prizes are not transferable and must be accepted as awarded, with no substitutions of any kind, except by the Sponsor (as defined herein), who reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value in cash or otherwise."

It says that in the rules so maybe a cheque?? Has anyone else ever asked for cash before instead of the prize? HOw does that work??

Daughter also won this from Score for Winnipeg. HOWEVER, she went with a friend and they did not come on till after 11:15 pm, people kind of ticked off...so she went home because she had to work the next day...did not even get to see them. Hopefully it will be better for you.

She was really pumped up to go and then does not see them. I suppose she could have stayed but she works at 7:00 am...so they left.

Hi all,

This is not what I would call a contest win, but it certainly qualifies as the biggest win of my entire life.

This morning at approximately 2am, my wife and I welcomed our first child into the world. We have been trying for several years and were convinced that it wasn't going happen when my wife found out she was pregnant in March.

I didn't have any big contest wins this year, but I'm attributing that to using up all of my luck with this conception :)

I am a very happy man right now! The highs I've experienced from some of my biggest contest wins don't hold a candle to this!

Congrats !!

Congrats on you little one, Cofh.


Awwww :) Congratulations!!!


How wonderful. Congrats on your little arrival. This is the best win ever....


Hey buddy...Congrats. We have 2 little ones. We also thought that at first.. just wait until they climb into your bed at night and decide it's a good place to poop.. :razz:


I will agree that you've won something better than any contest on RFD.

A huge congrats and enjoy that little bundle of joy!

You didn't mention if it was a girl or a boy though.

:D


That's awesome. :D

Congrats to you and your wife. :)


thats better than any win, congrats. is it a boy or girl and what did you name her/him


Soooo..... What was the skill-testing question? Did you complete it without assistance? :D


Congrats Papa Cofh,

Kinda puts things in perspective doesn't it? Welcome to the wild world of parenting!! Enjoy.


Congratulations!:) Did you have a boy or a girl?

After the sadness of having to give up my huge win yesterday, I was blessed with the news that my son and dil are having another child, I'm going to be a grandma again, and that beats out any contest win:)

Thanks everyone.

We had a beautiful little boy. He had us worried for a couple of days because his blood sugar was very low and he had to be put on an IV for a couple of days, but now he seems to be eating fine and his blood glucose levels are almost back to normal. Ah, the joys of parenthood.

We've gotten our first poop and projectile vomit episodes out of the way and we survived, so I look forward to more adventures. We went into this with our eyes open, so we don't expect that it will all be feel good joyous moments - parenting is work, but we believe it's worth it and we love the little guy to bits already.

The skill testing question for our little prize was "Are you willing to completely give up all of your freedom for the next 15 to 20 years?" "Hell yeah!" must of been the right answer cause here he is. :)

To make this post somewhat on topic, I'll say that in a few years I'll finally be able to enter those fruit loops and other kids contests using our little guy ;) A future contester in the works.

Yes, Cofh, the best prize of all.

I have to say that my 18 year old son took a very long time to get this far though, but I wouldn't have given up a moment of it.

I'm glad that your medical issues were resolved, and I hope that you don't have to have that kind of parental worry again for a long time.

And if you think that you love him now, you won't believe how much more you'll love him a year from now (and on and on and on!).

Enjoy!

A few things to report today.

1) I got my Guns N Roses tickets today from The Score. Very disappointing as the tickets are in section 308 row 6. The rules says the tickets are worth approximately $200 and I checked ticketmaster and floor seats are going for 90ish.... so I don't know how they got that number... You think I should email them to voice my displeasure? I know it's a prize and it's free, but shouldn't they advertise it a little bit more accurately?

2) Girlfriend and I got our Bio-K+ wins from Twitter today. They sent some brochures and an FPC for a 6 pack of their Bio-K+ CL1285 drink.

3) Cheer replied a second time to my email about their faulty instant win game.

Thanks for getting back in touch, Simon.

I'm sorry the information supplied in our initial response was not helpful and I'm sharing your frustration with the rest of our team.

As a goodwill gesture, I'm sending a couple complimentary Cheer coupons by postal mail. Look for my letter in 2-3 weeks.

Stop back anytime.

Karen

Cheer Team
Wondering if they are FPCs or just $ off coupons.

4) Won again from Chillonline! Run of engagement passes to the Book of Eli.

Oh ya for imgur, if the image is too large like the one above, if you simply add a lowercase L ("l") to the end of your URL just before the ".jpg" part it will resize the image for you

so instead of

You would use

and it would appear like this instead:

what's the barcode on it?

On what? I was joking about the +$50 value.. I have no idea how much the hat is worth. I just didn't really care for the "Wrigley" embroidered on it.

Toboggan had a 49.99 price tag on it. Another poster brought up that the wonder logo adds value to the toboggan, making it worth the $100 Wonder says the toboggan should be worth.

I won a new car...

Not really, well sorta.

Mine got totaled last night in an accident. Other driver, in a company business van, lost control and was doing 360's on the icy road when he hit me. I almost made it out of his way, but he took out the passenger-side front of my car. I was travelling slowly, and with studded tires - my air bags didn't even deploy, but the front section of my car is crushed up to the wheel well.

I had been returning from town where I had picked up daughter from a friends house. Neither of us was hurt at all, which is the important thing. Same for the other driver. But we were almost home! Like 1 km away.

We're pretty sure mine's a write-off, a 2006 toyota corolla, which was 4 months from being paid off, urghh! Oh well, guess its car shopping time again. >:(

Name just called on the radio for a trip for 2 to Bahamas or Jamaica. I qualified for one of 4 trips, draw date it tomorrow.

odds are pretty good becaue if peoples names got called and they didnt call back in 10 minutes they were disqualified and only a certian amount was called per day. Calls have been happening for 10 days.

Heres hoping


Bad news, no win. And I guess its 4 draws, but one draw every Friday. And the people that qualified for the weeks draw have to be requalified again.

There were 81 people in this one, and someone called in for something and they asked her to pick a number between 1 and 81 and she picked 26 or something. I was just drawn yesterday so I was number 76 or 78.

Aww, break my heart! LOL...when I saw your first post was two days ago I raced through to todays posts....and was sooo disappointed >:( Sorry for the crappy luck...now time to start winning again...that's an order...lol!


agreed january has been a very bad month for me entering contests

Sorry to hear that dre, especially cuz it was the month of my first two wins....which I'm taking as a sign that they're just going to keep coming, like Bidchka's...lol (yep that's my story and I'm sticking to it). Actually I'm fully expecting to win a trip this year, don't know why, just feel it in my bones...:D Of course, RFD will be the first to know when (not if) that happens...after my family of course...;)

Wouldn't you want to win a car the old fashion way in a contest?:)
Think the only win you have from this that you don't have to bring your car into the dealership to fix the faulty gas peddle... but the biggest win out of this is that everyone is alright!

Thanks btc, you are right, no injuries is a huge win :)

I don't think the 2006s have any problems with the gas peddle (could be wrong, I haven't kept up with the news), but as I plan to replace the car, if totalled, with another toyota product, I will have to ensure I don't get one of those gems...

And you are also right, I really, really want to win a car now... the daughter is very close to driving age and we will be needing two vehicles in the yard for sure.... although after her experience last night, I am not so sure she's in a huge rush to get her beginners, she was pretty upset by this new experience. (We both felt fine today, a little stiffness but otherwise no worse for the wear)

I found all 16 eggs today and I didn't get one entry. Finding the eggs is only so you can get a BOGO free coupon. I think you have to have a pin in order to get entries into the grand prize draw. I think there is instant wins such as the one Vilmark won but the eggs themselves don't do anything. I think you can go back each day and find the same 16 eggs. If I'm wrong please correct me. :)

vilmark
Feb 1st, 2010, 08:57 PM
collecting the eggs is only for the 2/1 coupon. after 16 eggs you get a coupon and you can get a total of 3 per person. so once youve collected all the eggs 3 times dont waste you time doing it again.

the only way to get entries is via entering pins from packages of specially marked m&m's or for refering people and they setting up an acct via your email.

so how people are getting 1000s of entries is beyond me.

the only way to get entries is via entering pins from packages of specially marked m&m's or for refering people and they setting up an acct via your email.

so how people are getting 1000s of entries is beyond me.

Didn't you say that you were thinking of cheating from now on (above)?

I guess that is what these other folks are doing.

NO I said Im probably going to tap out at about 100 entries. And I have no idea how people get 100's or 1000's unless they are somehow cheating,

I have no idea how to cheat at it. But thanks

yup jane22 thats the pin I entered, I have no idea how all those people have 100s of entries, I recieved 5 for the pin, and 30 for referring 2 people that made accts. so Im at 35 and probably stalled their until I find some eggs when im out in the next few days. But honestly im probably going to tap out about 100 or so. Im thinking so sort of cheating going on.

just reread my previous post and would like to clarify my bad typing.

last line is meant to read.

Yes, this is the one I can't make it out. Thanks Jane.

I am just surprise those on the leaderboard got almost a thousand entries already!


the person in the lead now has over 3000 entries - I've been keeping an eye on the leaderboard this afternoon - her points are increasing by increments of 5 every 2 - 3 minutes or so - so she either bought 600+ small bags of m&ms, or ....well, I hate to say it, but could she be running a bot? a random code generator?

I think honestly they are cheating because, come on who is going to spend over $1000 on M&Ms and have the patience to enter them constantly for the last day, It really is sad.

I fired off an email to the contest and see if they do anything.

Edit: Ive been to shoppers and Loblaws today and they didnt have the specialy marked packages yet, so no entries for me today.

The contest is only on for 2 days! If he/she is not cheating, someone meant to tell us that he/she either had bought over 200 bags of chocolate or refer over 200 friends.

And the most ridiculous thing is most of us can't even find the chocolate in store yet.

The thing with the M&M contest is that there is probably a bug in the instant prize attribution. I'm on another forum and they're supposedly winning prepaid cards at an incredible rhythm so they are in fact buying a lot of M&m bags.

I think they are winning an instant prize with each code (either a prepaid card or chocolate).

The real odds should be (as stated in the rules) 1/1108 not 1/1 ;)

I have seen some claiming that they won 32 prepaid cards .
I'm not sure they will honour that.

I think there are no more instant prize left.

I just began entering contests about 3 weeks ago. So far, I have won a set of hockey cards (instant win on a current contest), a chance to win a Cineplex Olympic passport (draw from finalists' pool is on Monday) and a portable DVD player and a DVD from a Tribute contest. I am stoked and hoping to win one of the umpteen trips or cars that are prizes in contests that I have entered. I must admit that this takes a lot of time, but it seems to be paying off.

From the rules:

"Sweepstakes is open to legal residents of the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta,
Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario"

I don't actually have a Safeway near me, but I entered and won the cards too.

Good luck, vilmark!

Where does it say anything about winning hockey cards? There's a picture of it but in the rules, all I see are the first, second and third prizes and nothing about what the instant win prizes are.

The rules aren't laid out like most, and the following is found way above where you see the stuff about first, second and third prizes.

Somewhere else in the rules it also says that the instant win prizes are valued at $12,400, so when you deduct the gift cards, the hockey cards are worth only $10 a set.

"Instant Win Game offers and prize descriptions, and odds of winning are as follows: There will be a total of 1,184 complete sets of 2009-2010 NHL® Superstar Trading Cards available to be won and sixteen (16) $25 Safeway gift cards. 20 daily prizes per day will be given away during the Promotion Period. Odds of winning an instant win prize are 1:20 per day."

... and now for the rest of the story:

My car would have been paid off in November of this year. I planned to drive it, car payment free, for several years and maintained it well.

I had studded tires all around, and was driving for the conditions at 50 kms in a 70 km area. (Blowing snow) Too bad the van that was approaching either was driving too fast or had no winter tires because just as he got close he started spinnning in 360 degrees circles.

I tried to avoid him by pointing my car into the other (his) lane. I almost make it. But my car hits the van's passenger-side back quarter panel, near the bumper. (He had spun almost in a complete circle when we collided) He fetches up with his rear end partly in the ditch, on my side of the highway, facing the direction which I had been going.

My engine was still running, no damage there. My air bags did not deploy. All of the damage is above the frame, no structural damage. But to repair all that is broken would be $8890... but Insurance company states my car is only worth a $7,775 payout!

So amount I still owe, $4600, leaving me a grand total of $3000 for a new car! URGHH!!! I feel sick to my stomach. It feels like someone just stole $10,000 from me! I am not ashamed to say that as a single parent who often struggles to make end's meet, its a huge financial blow to loose the car.

And it kills me that the van got to drive away from the scene.

Sorry guys, just had to vent >:(

Well, your other option is to have the car repaired (cost: $8890) using the insurance money ($7775) and continue to drive it and pay of the balance as planned. In that case, the numbers would make it a $1115 loss, which isn't good, but isn't $10,000 either. Just trying to think positively :). HUGZ!

Wow Caper2007. That just sucks royally. It is truly amazing how it all works once 'it happens to you', and how it differs from province to province, insurance corp to insurance corp. When my car was hit (100% responsibility found on other driver) 3 months ago there was a huge debate as to whether it was a write off or if it would be covered, but never at any point was there the issue that I would have to pay anything - unless of course I had to buy a new car. What they were willing to pay for repairs is how much they would have given me for a writeoff - although I had no say as to which route they went, as they repaired and I would rather have been paid out because of the type of the frame damage involved. Guess I should consider myself lucky! Crappy way to start your year.

Hi Caper,

I too may have "possibly" worked in the auto insurance industry, somewhere in this great country, wouldn't want to say where - obviously.

There is definitely some "room" to move on claims that are paid out by insurance company's - sometimes as much as 15%, so do not accept their first offer.

Do your homework, and go back with a reasonable number, and the facts that support that number.

Hope that helps.

mystictiger
Feb 7th, 2010, 02:58 PM
Thanks Vilmark, I haven't yet accepted their (first) offer. I told the guy (while chocking with tears) that I couldnt talk anymore that day. This was the other guys insurance company - call from Ontario.

I then went to my own insurance company to see if anything could be done. They have submitted a claim through my own insurance company to see if the value comes back higher... your information is good to know.

Yes, I bought it from Toyota dealership. They have already called me to "see how I was getting along with the accident stuff" ... waiting to sell me a new car I am sure. I will try to enlist their help in coming up with a fair market value for the car...

Thanks again for the advice. :)

...................... (ie they have you screwed in all directions).
..................

Agreed. Been there. I hope eventually some better options work out.



......................
I even asked about taking my new studded tires off the vehicle prior to signing off on the write-off, ................


I have never used studded tires. Is the price big difference from regular tire?

If you are planning to get another car using those more expensive (should be) studded tires. I suggest you get 4 cheap tire from scrap yard to put on the car for them - so you can keep the studded tire.

When I finish a leashed car, the requirement only need 4 tires in driving condition when return. The last one I returned I had 2 all-season/2 winter tires on it (or they will charge me $150 each tire)

Whatever mystic....

You know, in the three odd years I have been a member, I have tried my best to keep on topic, and to positively contribute to RFD. My mistake for seeking advice, support and encouragement from my extended family in RFD. I can now see why others have had difficulty with you, a johnny/jill-come-lately who frequently makes needlessly critical comments and wonders why people respond harshly to her.

You can see in my subsequent posts yesterday, that I had already moved back on topic, congratulating others for their wins - before you added your two cents worth.

Perhaps it would be best to return to lurking in the shadows?

I also received a certified letter from the post office. It was from Huggies. At first I thought it was the gas card that I won, but it was a Ticketmaster giftcard. I called to check the balance and it's a $250 gift card. I probably had entered some ballots but had never heard back about it.

So I suggest if you won one of these, you go and get them done quickly. I went to Fairview Cineplex ( Don Mills/Sheppard ) and was told by the manager that very few theatres are participating in this promotion. Fairview is not one of them either. He said that the Sheppard Grande was the only theatre in the area that was participating. I instead went to the only participating theatre in Richmond Hill and spoke to Derek the manager there. When I showed him the winning letter, he had absolutely no idea what it was, what to do with it or how to redeem it. After he left to find out more information, he came back and proceeded to process the passport. He mentioned that I was the first person to redeem it there and that there was only 5 available at his theatre. I told him I found that hard to believe with so many being given out but he insisted. None the less, I showed him the POS material on his cashier's desks promoting the contest and showed him the part about the passports being prizes in the contest. Anyhow, I was amazed at what I got from him. Individual tickets for each day :confused:

Good mail day. I finally received a waiver form for the Kellogg's Frosted Flakes Striped Ticket Contest my dd won on Feb. 02 (she won a prepaid $50 Visa).

I also received the Olympic tickets I won through Hello BC Get Into the Games contest. They are for the womens 500m speedskating final and they are AWESOME section 113 row 3 which I think is right on/near the finish line three rows from the ice!!!! Unfortunately my childcare provider just got diagnosed with breast cancer on Monday so I probably won't be able to go :( Her problems are definitely bigger than mine right now so my thoughts are with her instead.

Today I received a phone call followed up by this email:

Congratulations!!!! You have been randomly selected as a potential winner for our Air Canada One-day Break-away Ice Hockey Experience contest!

It was a trip for two to Vancouver including airfare to see an Olympic hockey game, ground transportation and the opportunity to hang out in an Air Canada Hospitality venue with all food and drink provided. I was ineligible to accept because, as luck would have it, I am already going to be in Vancouver that day and I would have to do the travel portion to be eligible.

I'm bummed out because it would have been a lot of fun and I have never won anything this big before but on the other hand I would rather have someone win who can take full advantage of the travel portion as well. Hopefully someone from RFD will be getting a phone call tomorrow AM! Good Luck!

Too bad you couldn't accept that Fenk, but someone else will be very happy tomorrow.

I just got a phone call from a woman with a very heavy accent that congratulated me on winning a vacation in Florida, described how I could pick up the included rental car to drive to my free accomodations. (I didn't ask if it was an armoured car.:lol:)

Because I could hardly understand her, I asked her to send an email and she said she would, "Of course, but before you get too excited over your win, there are a few questions..." She had my birthdate, which I had obviously generously supplied in my entry form, asked if I was married or single, could travel within 12 months, and in good standing with Visa.

She kept going on and on and I asked if she was going to ask for my Visa and she said yes. I told her that if I won a trip, I would give that information when I was arranging the trip and she said, no, no, no you have it give it now, so she could send my package. I told her that she'd best be calling someone else to "make them happy" because it wasn't working with me.

She kept saying that she was with America Universal Studios, "You know Universal Studios, don't you?"

I think someone else on RFD got a similar call. I am very careful about what I enter and as I have no desire to go back to Florida, I can't remember entering. Does anyone have any thoughts?

there's a toll free number in the rules that people can call if they have technical difficulty with the STQ - I believe there's a time limit as to how long you can wait before calling, but I don't remember what it is - they then let you do the STQ over the phone, so you could try calling and see what happens...

If you are unable to input an answer to the skill-testing question at that time due to computer malfunction or other technical issue, you must contact customer care (“Customer Care”) at 1-800-868-0968 within 48 hours of receiving notification of a potential win to request that the time-limited skill–testing question be conducted live over the phone

I've been getting a lot of those types of e-mails from the UK. Of course, lots saying I won such and such Euros too. And I'm a lucky beneficiary of some dude!!!

Not sure where they grabbed my e-mail from, but whatever. It's what you expect from contesting I guess!!!! :D

I have to say I won the best prize ever. When Wonderbread (Westin) had all those contests where you could enter for each store and they had different prizes per store I entered my moms name for all the stores that had olympic tickets as the prize. Well, last month she found out she won. She wouldn't believe it until she actually had the tickets in her hand and saw that it was for hockey. She and her sister (both in their 70's) traveled from Vancouver Island over to Vancouver yesterday and went to the hockey game - USA vs Switzerland. She called me last night. The excitement in her voice was all I needed to hear. She and her sister had the time of their lives. She said the excitement was amazing and they had the best seats in the house (row 4). They sat with all the Wonderbread people and a few other winners. She just kept saying over and over, thank you so much, we had so much fun.

The best thing is, a week after she found out she won, she won more tickets from another store (same contest). Those tickets are also for hockey so they are traveling back to Vancouver tomorrow (they both still work and had to work today) to see Canada vs Switzerland. Just hearing mom's voice was the best ever. I was so excited and happy for her.

NIce win,congrats!



I have to say I won the best prize ever. When Wonderbread (Westin) had all those contests where you could enter for each store and they had different prizes per store I entered my moms name for all the stores that had olympic tickets as the prize. Well, last month she found out she won. She wouldn't believe it until she actually had the tickets in her hand and saw that it was for hockey. She and her sister (both in their 70's) traveled from Vancouver Island over to Vancouver yesterday and went to the hockey game - USA vs Switzerland. She called me last night. The excitement in her voice was all I needed to here. She and her sister had the time of their lives. She said the excitement was amazing and they had the best seats in the house (row 4). They sat with all the Wonderbread people and a few other winners. She just kept saying over and over, thank you so much, we had so much fun.

The best thing is, a week after she found out she won, she won more tickets from another store (same contest). Those tickets are also for hockey so they are traveling back to Vancouver tomorrow (they both still work and had to work today) to see Canada vs Switzerland. Just hearing mom's voice was the best ever. I was so excited and happy for her.




Just wow, thats an fantastic story;)

I was unable to answer the phone earlier today so my friend took the call. They asked for me and said they were calling from Microsoft? My friend asked them to call back at 4pm (they did not of course):confused: Wondering if that was a win? Or telemarketing survey ? I checked the caller ID it said the number was private. Go figure. How often do legit contest wins come from Private #'s. Only one I know of that did was Much Music but they at least leave a decent msg and way to call back.

It was from a local Travel Agency in a small town just outside of Windsor and was for residents of Windsor/Essex County only so I guess the pool of entrants was small relative to national contests. And how cow, I leave in 10 days! Woot woot! Thanks to all of you guys who post contest and especially who post your winnings, were it not for seeing how often people do win, I probably never would have got into contesting...but you have all kept me believing I had as good a chance as anyone so kept on going...and it paid off!

I know how you feel Caper. I've been contesting for just about 2 years now and I haven't won a trip either. Just as well I suppose since I have very limited vacation time at this point. I haven't won any cash prizes yet either. I'm hoping 2010 will bring some luck to both of us :)

I used to do contesting around 25 years ago, when you had to mail in all the entries :eek:

I won a Wardair family trip for 4 to Florida with P&G, and a trip for 2 to the Caribbean, I forget who that contest was with though

A bit of a story with the Wardair prize - the entry form said it was worth $3,000 - when I found out I won, I went to a travel agency and picked up a Wardair brochure so I could check it out, see the hotel etc. I got looking at the prices, and added up the cost for 2 adults and 2 children, and it came to $1500

So I wrote P&G and asked why such a difference. I didn't hear back, so I then wrote to Consumer & Corporate Affairs Canada - got a phone call from them a few days later, wanting more info.

The end result - P&G sent me a cheque for $1500 to make up the difference - there were 9 other trip winners, and they all got a cheque as well.

So I figure that since most contest rules now say they won't pay out the difference between the actual cost of a prize, and what the rules say a prize is worth, it's probably because of me. LOL

I spoke with a P&G rep sometime later, and he said that it was an error with the promotion company they used, in the printing of the contest form, so who knows if they were trying to make the contest more appealing, or if it truly was an error.

Oh, and if you never flew with Wardair - it was awesome! Real china dishware, real cutlery, steak, a warm towel to clean up with afterwards, crayons and things for the kids to play with....

I was a travel agent when Wardair was in business, and Max Ward used to throw the best parties in town. These were industry parties, when a new seasonal brochure would be launched, and he was a real fire cracker.

They also used to offer the best discount to travel agents, and I would often go to London, England for the weekend for $25!!!

And you're probably right about the new disclaimers, they probably fudged things a lot more before you complained.

Yes, Echo, let's make this the year that both of us win a trip!

I would go anywhere, even within my own province.... I find it odd that after more than 3 years of faithful contest entering, the trip prize still eludes me....!

After 3 yrs no trip for me either:(

I knew this was my year! After a year of contesting and winning nothing, I finally (after two smaller wins in January) won a big one....a trip south...yayyy me..lol. I'm so excited. It was from a local Travel Agency in a small town just outside of Windsor and was for residents of Windsor/Essex County only so I guess the pool of entrants was small relative to national contests. And how cow, I leave in 10 days! Woot woot! Thanks to all of you guys who post contest and especially who post your winnings, were it not for seeing how often people do win, I probably never would have got into contesting...but you have all kept me believing I had as good a chance as anyone so kept on going...and it paid off!

K...can you tell I'm happy,happy,happy...lol?:cheesygri:cheesygri:chees ygri

That is awesome. Congrats. Have a great time!:)

I used to do contesting around 25 years ago, when you had to mail in all the entries :eek:

I won a Wardair family trip for 4 to Florida with P&G, and a trip for 2 to the Caribbean, I forget who that contest was with though

A bit of a story with the Wardair prize - the entry form said it was worth $3,000 - when I found out I won, I went to a travel agency and picked up a Wardair brochure so I could check it out, see the hotel etc. I got looking at the prices, and added up the cost for 2 adults and 2 children, and it came to $1500

So I wrote P&G and asked why such a difference. I didn't hear back, so I then wrote to Consumer & Corporate Affairs Canada - got a phone call from them a few days later, wanting more info.

The end result - P&G sent me a cheque for $1500 to make up the difference - there were 9 other trip winners, and they all got a cheque as well.

So I figure that since most contest rules now say they won't pay out the difference between the actual cost of a prize, and what the rules say a prize is worth, it's probably because of me. LOL

I spoke with a P&G rep sometime later, and he said that it was an error with the promotion company they used, in the printing of the contest form, so who knows if they were trying to make the contest more appealing, or if it truly was an error.

Oh, and if you never flew with Wardair - it was awesome! Real china dishware, real cutlery, steak, a warm towel to clean up with afterwards, crayons and things for the kids to play with....


For my wife's trip that she won from Slice, a similar thing occurred. When she was working with the travel agent to arrange the trip it only came to $3500 and it was advertised as a $5000 trip. So she asked for things like day trips to be included to make up the shortfall. Initially they said ok, but then they changed their mind. They told her she had to use the $5000 only for the items listed in the prize. So she changed her hotel to the Beverly Hills Wilshire. Shortfall no more :D

I actually found the sponsors very easy to deal with. I wanted some changes and they were able to accomodate me completely. Most importantly they had me going to Breezes Veredaro, but I wanted to go back to the resort that I went to before, breezes Jibacoa, more expensive. They had me in a gardenview room, I wanted an oceanview room, more expensive. It was a trip for two but I wanted to go alone, more per person but less overall. They wanted me to go during Spring Bread...ugghh....a bazilliann teens, I wanted to go either before or after, but after was flying only out of Toronto and I didn't want to do that, so they gave me March 1 from London. So we talked back and forth and I got what I wanted. And $500 spending money, most of which I'll probably bring back, since there's nothing to buy there, even for a shopaholic like me...lol. So tomorrow I pick up my intinerary...then I will exhale...lol.

Thanks Bidchka! With the new baby I've specifically been avoiding contests where the prize is a trip, as he's too young to travel and we couldn't leave him for any longer than a day or so.

I remember entering this one because it was a day away, not too far from home and would be a nice little break for us. It was nice to win it! More wins to come for both of us I hope! :cheesygri

I'm willing to be that you won the trip to White Oaks. Am I right? They were nice enough to offer to extend our stay at a discounted rate, but one night away from baby is going to be hard enough.

Well if you consider that the trip was free, then we can consider it a contest win, but in actuality my inlaws took us away for our 2nd anniversary. We took our son with us and he was just over 1 at the time and my wife was pretty pregnant at the time too. So I wouldn't rule out taking your little one.

Either way, have a lot of fun, it's a nice place.

As for the trip, I already live in Toronto. Has anyone had a similar experience with this where part of their prize includes a trip to the area where they reside in? Will I still get to stay in a hotel here?

Wheeeee!!

Awesome win! Congratulations!

Wheeeee!!

Excellent win! Yes, you should get to stay in a hotel, and maybe get some extras thrown in as you don't have to travel! Maybe other trip winners can give you suggestions on how to negotiate - I've not won a trip contest yet so I don't know.

But for the full pampering, yes a hotel is essential! Congrats :)

Wheeeee!!

Congrats on the win! You can use the hotel in Toronto but ask if there is cash value of the flight and if it is possible for you can get cash in lieu or possibly a travel voucher, perhaps?

I previously won a similiar prize with a trip to NY but due to scheduling with the stylist, they offered a travel voucher for the full value of the prize. The voucher was a credit with a travel agency. I was able to use it a few months later to book a trip to Europe with the difference paid in cash. :D

Congrats to everyone else on their wins!

when you win a blog contest, does the subject line of the email they send say something about winning? I don't always open my emails in a timely manner, and I sign up for a lot of newsletters with these blog contests - I'd hate to miss out on a win because I didn't respond to an email in time - I try to do a quick scan of my inbox a few times a day, looking for "win" or something similar in the subject line...

HAHA I laughed, the tshirt is brown and basically see thru so figure if you wear a 2nd tshirt underneath it would be okay.

Nestea/icoke for the winners who won more then 1 nestea for a year on her/his own name and not dads/sisters........


For all Sweepstakes Prizes: The odds of winning a Sweepstakes Prize depend on the number of eligible entries received during the Promotion Period. Limit: 1 Sweepstakes Prize per person.

so i think thats it also for the grandprize....we can't win anymore.

We are the Judging Organization handling this contest for Treehouse TV. Your online entry was drawn as a selected entrant for the "Believe In Play" Contest. You entered the contest online at www.treehousetv.com.

all it says is its a playskool prize pack worth $19.99..... not a huge win but ill take it.

treehouse contests seem to be quite easy to win! :)

I disagree. It says one SWEEPSTAKES prize per person. Meaning if they happen to draw your name twice for the sweepstakes, you don't win again. The instant prizes are not considered a sweepstakes prize.

Everyone's won the $25 gift card from them :p The first draw is actually supposed to be today (March 5, 2010) so it's probably a glitch. Sorry to burst your bubble. Many of us are still waiting on a reply from them.

Nothing we entered here, but we won the grand prize for renewing our Senators ticket package early. The prize was "Win Your Seats", but we can get a package up to $2500.

So we went from paying ~$1000 for a 20 ticket package (we go to 10 games) 300 end, to getting 2 half seasons tickets, 300 Centre, free. Also 22 games is way too much for us to get to, so we'll be selling at least half and paying for the following years package as well.

I like, is nice.

received my gas cards from huggies today!
They say "TruCa$h Mastercard"....I wonder if I can use the for things that aren't gas. Like other purchases from gas stations (food, bus tickets, lottery tickets, whatever)?

Or if I can use them for shopping in general. It doesn't say gas anywhere. Not even in the terms and conditions on the paper it came with. it just warns you not to pay at the pump

If you JUST received a call, then there may also be a chance for the rest of us to win some of the other prizes too.

Congrats on the MP3 player, even though it wasn't the prize you wanted.

I dumped all of my entries into the laptops.
