How many contests do you guys enter? I enter quite a few per week but I've never won anything. The last thing I remember winning is a Star Wars action figure like 4 years ago, which is probably like the most expensive thing I've ever won. Kind of sad really.

I think the thing thats crazy when some people win contests and have stories done on them or asked they are usally contests you can enter more then once and or are contests that in one way or another have employed some sorta shortcut. While I enter more them most my friends and family I do not enter everything I see. Also you got to keep in mind the types of contests most people enter and how they enter. I would think most are give general info like name and contact info, some sort of trivia or answer some skill testing question and method of entry sending or submiting your name, contact info or dropping off a ballot. Lastly the value of the prize won. I myself in the five years have averaged between 10 to 30 wins with a total for most years being between $500 to $3000. Now sure the bulk of the things have been cds, passes, gift certifcates but there also has been exclusive invites, trips, hotel stays, etc.

Slow year so far for me, I've won:
World Trade Center DVD
Alliance Atlantis DVD Pack
Just as my sig says.
Nothing too great yet this year, I'm hoping pepsi has a good contest again this year so I can go 3/3 (I didn't get in on the Ipods they had the first year, but I did win 2 xbox 360s the 2 years after.)
I enter just about everything I see minus the ones I don't really have a use for the prize (baby stuff are the ones I usually skip). I have about 20-30 daily entries at any given time. I probably enter 50 or so different contests every week.

I'm a little picky about the contests I enter. Unlimited-entry contests I avoid because I don't have the time to keep clicking and typing. Single-entry contests to win one grand prize have really low odds, especially if they're for U.S. and Canada. Also, if it requires membership and the site looks sketchy, I won't enter.
I prefer daily contests where I can use Firefox's saved form info to enter quickly. Also, the more prizes the better.
I won a trip to Toronto in March, and also a Dell Axim PDA in February. Haven't won much lately though... maybe they have blacklists? :D
My sig contains all my wins for 2007. As you can tell, I listen to the radio a lot.

Just got the forms for a win in the Microsoft/AMD Vanishing Point contest - the one where you could win a trip into space.
I didn't win the trip into space.
I got third prize which is either a copy of Windows Vista Ultimate or a copy of Microsoft Office Ultimate. Pity my computer can't handle them...
Oh well - not bad for a contest that was open to Canada, US, Australia, Germany, UK, France, Italy, Spain and a bunch of other countries too. I didn't complete all the puzzles either - only about 20 of them so I really can't complain.

You do not want to know how many i enter DAILY more then i want to count. I have been doing this since the pepsi 2004 Contest and each year have won more then the last. I personally think i do pretty good but not as good as some that i have seen( My top prize has been arv $10,000) But one thing that has happened every year since 2004 is i have won a trip each year, First year was to BC Whistler, 2nd Year was to Cuba all inclusive, Last year was Trip to Tokyo but was able to change it to NY.. Hoping this year brings a biggie with lots of spending money

I've been at this more or less steadily for almost two years now. I don't put in a crazy amount of time -- let's say half an hour per day, on average. To date, I've won:
Chapman's Ice Cream package (mostly $50 in GCs for their product)
Wireless Keyboard/Mouse (from Hershey's)
$25 Roots GC (from Mazda)
Dell Axim x51 PDA (from Canadian Blood Services)
A box of Jolly Ranchers with a free downloadable ringtone
And that's it. Maybe $500 worth of stuff. I've had more luck with actual freebies.

I've started seriously entering contests in November last year. So far have won only some whey powder (which I don't use).
Before I used to enter only ocasionally. I would enter Now and eye contests weekly and I won a few CDs, quite a few movie passes.
Anyway, I must admit that I haven't won anything exciting so far.
I enter most of the contests I find on the websites like this one (and contestcanada.net). I don't mind entering daily contests, but I enter only once. I figure the odds are ok even for those.
Biggest thing I've won so far must be jacket. I've also won some books, comics and a modem (when they were expensive)

I won't go into specifics but heres a crazy situation for you in a contest where I won a trip I also won of the three runner prizes since one of the other 3 people who had entered the contest was underage therefore unable to win a prize. I bet not many people here can say that they have won more then one prize in a contest and if so probably only a contest that you can win daily which thios was not one.

I started entering contests in 2002 as a joke with my sister. It was the Cadbury Contest (2002) where you took a picture of yourself with a Cadbury Egg and if you seen your picture posted, you had aboiut 24 hours (or 72, I forget) to reply and you would win $1000. I won that and shared it with my sister. That hooked me on contesting! I don't enter that many contests, and when I do, I make sure they are reputable companies so I don't get spam emails. So far I have been lucky! It takes me approx 15-20 minutes per day, in total, to enter all my daily contests. Some days I don't enter anything. Hit and Miss. I like the instant win contests best! I have won LOTS of things. This is just a very small example of stuff I have won. I have also won CD's, DVD's, MP3 Players, CD Players, Movie Tickets, Games etc.......
*After I won a few contests, I started keeping a list for my own reference of things won, the value and the date.
Here are some of the highlights of what I have won.......
-$1000 cash from Cadbury’s How Do You Get The Inside Out Contest (March 2002)
-Sony Playstation 2 System - Skittles Guess the Flavor Contest – Nov 2002
-Fuji Digital Camera Package from Cadbury Contest – April 2003
-Year Supply of Skittles/Starburst Candy - $400 – Frosters Bite Me Guess Me Contest - June 2003
-52 Coupons each for 2 pkg. of Skittles/Starburst Candy & Coupons for 104 Slurpees from Macs Froster’s Contest - Oct 2003
-3 Month Membership to Curves - Royale Tissue Contest (2005)
-$75,000 trip for 6 to England from Campbell’s Soup to live in a Castle for a week! Complete with maids, Butler, Chef - May 2006 - My Husband's win!
-X-Box 360 System from Pepsi with Forza Motorsport Game - $570 - Oct. 2006
-PlayStation 3 System from iCoke - $659 - Nov. 2006
-$100 Gift Card for Sport Chek – Subway Contest - Dec. 2006

Eh since people are posting their lifetime wins I guess I'll put mine down since I started around the first pepsi xbox 360 contest (1.5 years ago I guess that was). I was stoked when I won that one, since my brother had already won a 360 from muchmusic and I stopped entering the contest, but a week later I checked my email during class and it said I had won (a redraw for sure). That's when I seriously started getting into contesting.
Now let's see if I remember it all.
Scaletrix Race Car set - Shoptvcanada (2005)
Xbox 360 - Pepsi wineveryhour (2005)
Xbox 360 - Muchmusic (2005) - Helped my brother win that one, they called his cell and I told him what to say to win, I still have the recording on my computer from the episode.
King Kong for PS2 - Don't remember the sponsor (2005)
Case of Brisk Iced Tea - Brisk (2006)
4 NFL hats - Snickers Instant Win contest (2006)
Gameboy Micro - Humpty Dumpty (2006)
UTStarcom PPC-6700 Cellphone - Microsoft (2006)
Nokia Cellphone - Sponsor? (2006)
Xbox 360 - Wineveryhour (2006)
World Trade Center DVD - Tribute.ca (2007)
DVD Prize Pack - Alliance Atlantis (2007)
If I remember more I'll edit this post.
No major wins (nothing over 600ish dollars). But I love winning electronics, the UTStarcom win was funny because I was out looking for a new cellphone when I got the call that I had won a phone, lol great timing there.

I would not say thats anal I have done the samething for the past few years except for anytime I have won anything over $10 is appprox value. This came in extremely helpful when a tv show did a segement and interview with me re some of the contests I have entered, what kinds of contests I enter, how I enter and even showed off some of the details or prizes I won. Incidently to you fellow winners would you say the vast mority of contests you win are ones you enter just basic info, involve answering something trivia or math question, submitting something (like essay or photo) or dropping or mailing a ballot/entry form. Maybe a neat addition is what you had to do to get the prize(s) you won.

Aye they always inflate the values for some reason but i still post it on my win document at what they value it, If i have to pay taxes on it then i would make sure i would seek out the information to lower the ARV to real value but thank heaven we are very lucky not to have to pay.

Neat I bet that was interesting, Is it uploaded to Utube or something i would love to see it. I know there is a few others who do the same thing and some who are even more excessive that what i do hehe.

I truthfully can say its all the same from my win list, I have won from entering just my email to the 3 page long survey entries. I'm not sure if it really matters but i do beleive that their are tons of sweeps out there that are deciving and aren't real hence where we get so spammed with emails . I have a few tips ill share to help maybe
Tips
Most honest contests have Privacy policy's on the page along with complete rules ( not those with 1 liners and vague)
Do not ever give out your SIN/SS # regardless
If you are unsure of the site ask around ( ask here) as i am sure alot of people could tell you if its real or not
A true contest win you will NEVER have to pay shipping on UNLESS it states so in the rules ( Very few make you pay)
Shipping of prizes is a hit or a miss when it comes across the border You may get hit with customs/duties Major corporations usually are the ones who will pay any fees associated with mailing it to you, If you get dinged with charges from the border Contact the sponsor of the contest and ask if you should have ( I have heard some winners sending the email/notice of win to postal services for refund but cant confirm)
Most know this but Canadians Never have to pay taxes on wins ( /cheer)
Emails and spam are a pain in the butt but over time most people can see the differences between spam and a win, Most wins will have the promotional name in the subject and/or the sponsors name in addition to "Congrats" winning ect
If you cant remember entering the contest simple search on the internet to find the promotion may jog memories I do this to confirm all my wins as i know i entered it that i found it from somewhere on the internet.
Phone Call wins or email wins that state you need to come to a ceremonies, timeshare, sit thru a meeting ect is NEVER a win.. If you are unsure ask them to mail you the Rules of the sweepstakes or to mail you the information first ( this usually stops them)
Read the rules this is a big one, Make sure you are eligible- Rules protect you and the sponsor.
Anyways these are what i usually follow hope it helps some :)

Alright, here's a question to those who have won multiple times - and bear with me, because I know it's been asked before. Are you using roboform or another form filler, or do you manually enter your information? Secondly, are you entering for just yourself, or do you enter for other family members where allowed as well? Because I've been entering consistently for about 8 months now, and with the exception of an XBox 360, which took me roughly 2000 entries in the Pepsi contest, I have won nothing!

I use roboform for every thing and i can tell you it has not effected my wins, you will be fine to use it. Manually entering will take you forever and you will have the same chances as roboform filling in the information as you would with handtyped
I enter for myself, I enter for my daughter when the sweep is for her age and once in a great big blue moon do i enter my husband. Make sure you read the rules on entering for the whole family as it could get you DQed
My only advice to you is be patient and enter often, Sweeps that are open to USA & Canada have hundreds of thousands of entries and you have a very small chance of winning. Contests that are open to all of Canada have a lot less entries so your chances just got a bit better, and Local sweeps have the best over all odds, also dont forget the snailmail contest those i think have a better chance of winning over any of the above
anyways good luck in your winning for 2007

I enter less than 20 contests per day, and some days I don't bother entering at all. Takes me under 20 minutes to enter everything. I fill all the forms by hand and I win TONS of contests. I rarely enter the daily ones everyday, it depends on my mood. My favorite are the instant win contests and I do try to enter those few everyday.
I really think it just all boils down to luck. Go ahead and argue that if you want, but that is my thought.
You do increase your odds if you enter many different contests per day and do it daily, but I believe if you are going to win, you will win with one or few entries. So far for me it has been the case. To date, I have won well over $82,000 worth of stuff since I started in Spring 2002. I took a long break where I entered nothing for close to a year. The novelty kind of died for me for a while. I did a quick count of my wins and have won over 80 things so far. (I do NOT count wins such as lottery tickets either in this total).
So I think, just keep at it. Keep entering what interests you and don't make it a daily job that takes hours. :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Another thing to watch is make sure your IP is not deleting emails automatically that they think is spam. Shaw (the contest email I use) has a setting which gets them to automatically delete what they think is spam and you would never know it if you got a winning email that they deleted. This is set by default and you have to change it through webmail.
To check your settings (if you already know, sorry) do this....
-sign into Shaw Webmail https://webmail.shaw.ca/ (**you HAVE to sign into webmail to change this setting)
-click on EMAIL FILTER tab (beside the delete button)
-make sure you put a dot in the Disable Junk Email Filtering space. Hopefully there is not one on the delete junk mail space! If there was, you will never know what might or might not have been sent!
Telus has a similar setting too.

Yeah, I always enter by hand as well, and I don't spend a lot of time everyday on them. I could use Roboform, but Firefox has a "saved-form" feature where I can just hit Tab and it brings up all the previously-entered options. I usually only enter myself, and if it's a kid's prize then I'll enter my little brother. Instant win ones are nice because you don't have to wait.
I agree it's all luck as well... when I won the trip to Toronto, I had no idea what contest it was because I only entered once then totally forgot about it. :D
I use Yahoo, and I always check my Spam folder.

I always use RoboForm.
I've never entered anyone else from my family into a contest, but I do send them an e-mail about a contest if I think they would be interested in the prize being offered.
My favourite contests are Instant Wins and One-Time Entries. They're easier to keep track of. :D

I have never used roboform and I will probably never wil. I am curious for those of you who use it and enter more then 50 contests a day and or spend more 30 minutes a day entering would you still do that without roboform. I know unofficially it makes no difference but am wondering would you still have those totals if you did not. I would very rarely enter more then 30 contests a week and for the past few years according to my guidlines I mentioned above I average between 15 and 30 wins a year which is more then most my friends. As I stated in my tv interview I generally only enter if the prize is something that interests me, something I could never win because its so expensive or could never be purchased or something I can share or pass onto a good friend or family member. As someone sorta stated above keep entering cause you never know when you might win. Also as I stated above I once entered a contest that 3 other people also did I won the grand prize (which was a trip) but because of one of the 3 runner ups (there were 3 runner up prizes) was underage I also got a runer up prize as well.

See what slows me down are the flash based entries, is there any way to fill those out using a program like roboform because my version won't fill them out. I could write a macro or something to tab and type in the words, but since every entry form is different it would take some time.

Thanks all! It's pretty hard to compete with all those Americans, especially with a continent wide instant win like this one.
The American promotion company means serious business though. ID verification within 5 days, which forces your hand in who to bring along too quickly, change of plans, etc. I had to submit all my completed forms with notarization from the United States Consulate ($30 US fee). Patted down, metal detector, answering questions from the American diplomat behind bulletproof glass before giving his authorization signature.

2 CD's from some unknown contest I didn't have to fill out forms for...
20$ US Mastercard Gift Card from the Best Western Knock Knock contest (instant win)
Oh, and the instant win from Oral B Pulsar contest that got me a toothbrush and toothpaste
And this week I got 700 airmiles from the AP Journey to Win
June 4 -Movies for a Years thanks to iCoke approx. value $1400. Depends on the limits of it I guess - I could pack a lunch and spend an entire day at the theatre...

Just got the forms for a win in the Microsoft/AMD Vanishing Point contest - the one where you could win a trip into space.
I didn't win the trip into space.
I got third prize which is either a copy of Windows Vista Ultimate or a copy of Microsoft Office Ultimate. Pity my computer can't handle them...
Oh well - not bad for a contest that was open to Canada, US, Australia, Germany, UK, France, Italy, Spain and a bunch of other countries too. I didn't complete all the puzzles either - only about 20 of them so I really can't complain.
And I just got a copy of Office Ultimate in the mail today - retails for $899 in Canada! Anyone want to buy a copy; I'll give you a really good deal....

When signing up for all these contests the main attraction is getting your email address.
Is it cool to just have a junk email account without real information to enter with or do they expect a legit email account to be entered?

Many service providers allow you to have more than one email address. I use Shaw and they allow 10. I have a seperate email address for contests, but the interesting this is I NEVER get spammed on my contest account, but I do occasionally on my personal email account. I am also very careful about the types of contests I enter. Reputable companys and I always click NO for receiving additional informaion. Some contests require you to sign up for a newsletter and I never enter those either. Just open up any email account for contests, but make sure you check it often as some have time requirement for you to get back to them, and make sure the spam filter is off as I have heard of people finding winning notifications in their spam folders.
Good Luck!!

It should be known sometimes the way websites can track and ensure people are not entering multiple times is by tracking a computers ISP. That way if the rule says one entry per family or hosehold they know someone is pulling a fast one since its pretty hard to get a duplicate ISP.

Depends, read the rules it will tell you if you are responsible for taxes amd such but usually they are covered ( 4 trips and didn't pay a single cent) also the hotel depends again on the sponsor, since it is coke I will assume it would be 3-4 star hotel to say the least and chances are you will be located somewhere close to the event .

Airport fees and such are usually covered by the sponsors when they buy your ticket. I was nervous about this, because 1) I'd never won a trip before and 2) I haven't flown for 15 years. Thankfully I just had to go up to the counter and identify myself: they then printed me the tickets.
We stayed at an expensive hotel in the heart of downtown Toronto (over $200 a night.) The sponsors only covered the room rate: everything else came out of our pockets, including internet, mini-bar food, and even parking. I was surprised when they charged us $80 for parking, when we didn't even rent a car! Definitely ask thoroughly what's been paid for and what's extra.

Flew 4 flights and one was in the back because fc was sold out for that plane. And stayed at the Beverly Hilton and had to pay the taxes on the hotel and any extra costs like movies and phone calls and parking for our rental car ($25 a day).But you should know that . Taxes for our 5 night stay $325 us. But that is why they give you 500 or 1000 spending money. Only thing is because I won the trip from a American company they had a cheque for $500 at the hotel for us. And because I'm Canadian and was from out of state. I couldn't cash the cheque at a bank and had to wait until I got back to Canada. I even went to a money mart but they wouldn't cash it because the company wasn't in the phone book. It was a sub company of excite and didn't have entry in the phone book . Crazy, so I had to put everything on my credit card until I got back home. Then we got to the hotel on Sat and the awards where Sunday and CBS was suppose to fedex the tickets to the awards to the hotel and they didn't. And our contact number was a Monday to Friday number. So we didn't get to goto the awards. So on Monday at 9:00 am we phoned our contact person at excite. And with in a hour we got a phone call from CBS NYNY head office and they said they would fly us down again for the grammys. So two weeks in LA for the price of one win!!!
Contests usually fly you coach and it's usually your cost to get to an major gateway airport. But it all depends on the sponsor and rules. Just ask your contact person.
Congrads on your win. I also enter that contest but I think only once. Say hi to Jerry for me :)

Alright, I won a 50$ iTunes gift card from the TD 'tell your friends' contest. No notification call or email, just a release form arriving registered mail out of the blue.
Not a huge win, but it has reinvigorated my urge to contest! I was starting to flag, after not winning anything since October..

From the anythingbutzen.ca contest, I've apparently won what the text of this e-mail says:
Hi Steve,
Congrats on the prize. Here are the details for Prize Pack 4:
Digital Head Buds
Headphone Splitter
USB 256MB Jump Drive
Total: $102.98
You are still qualified to win the grand prize. Good luck!
Your prize will be sent shortly.
"Shortly" means 4-6 weeks, but I guess that's not bad. We'll see.

PS I just received all four of my caffeinenow/eprize prizes today, so although they take the full 10 weeks to deliver, they are legitimate. This should put to rest all of the debate on the multiple caffeinenow/eprize contests.

Here is only one of the sites I visit, i belong to email groups, paid online sites, other freebie forums and above all i do a lot of searching for them also. Now remember 200-500 is ballots, it could be those contest that are daily weekly ect.
Its really not that many when you think about it. but it takes a bit of time also to start a cycle, when I first started entering contest regularly i was spending hours trying to find a handful of contests

so i do that
it increases my odds
and obviously it had some issues this morn (the web site, as another lady in the yahoo group won multiple times as well)
i am not sure if i won itunes on all the wins as the save screen was different on some of them
two had the trip thing, one had the umm..year internet, and the other two were itunes
i did jot down one code though, but thought they would actually send an email with the codes
i had to get to work so was sorta rushed

Personally, I think Amber has every right to post what she wants. No one's forcing anyone to do anything: it's an open public forum.
However, I do also feel that RFD is a community, and in a community we share. Again, no one's forcing anyone to share everything they find: after all, just look at the Hot Deals forum, where a majority of viewers don't even have accounts. Those are the ones who hoard all the deals, then flip them on ebay/craigslist/BST for a profit. It's gotten so bad that I end up just PM'ing other members about deals that I find, rather than post them on RFD.
It all comes down to personal beliefs and your own moral code. There's no right or wrong in this situation: Amber has a right to withhold information, and TYinYVR and cheleen have a right to voice their displeasure.

100+ codes?! Where'd you get a hold of all those T_T
Anyways I just won the same contest too!! Luckily with only around 10 codes total though :)
Cheers
Sorry I wasn't clear enough. I meant 100+ codes over the course of the contest. NOT all at once. Usually I entered 2-3 a day. The day I won I entered 10 pins at 4am though. My sister's looking forward to her new phone. She's already with Rogers and her current phone is a piece of crap since she's dropped it a million times, lol.

On Friday night got a winning text message from Anythingbutzen.ca.
Went thru the prize claim process but missed seeing what I won.
On Saturday I googled Anythingbutzen and winners and got the winners list. My name was already posted saying I won a $100 Levis Store Gift Certificate.
I had already sent a message to Brisk asking what I won, Today I got a reply stating that I won
Hi xxxxxxxxxx,
Congratulations, you have won Brisk Prize Pack 2, which consists of a 48 Pack of AA Batteries and a Brisk USB 256mb jump drive. We will send your prize shortly. Thanks!
- The Brisk TEAm
End result, the winners list was changed reducing my prize...NEATO!

I just won this Sony 40" LCD TV (http://www.sonystyle.ca/commerce/servlet/ProductDetailDisplay?storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&productId=1003858) in the Sony score goals contest:D . This is definitely my biggest win to date (after 5 years or so of contesting), and it was quite a bit of work to win. Suffice it to say they now know me at the local Sony store! The TV's resolution is only 720p, but what am I gonna complain? I think not!
I also won a 10$ iTunes gift card a couple of weeks ago, but that didn't seem worth posting about. Hopefully the long distance charges it cost me to fax in the claim form are less than $10:| .

I wish I could keep the bikes, but I just bought a house and $20k (assuming I get that much) would be really helpful for paying down the mortgage a bit. Also, our we don't have anywhere secure to park the bikes, so I'd be afraid they'd get stolen.
I'm going to see if the dealership will buy the bikes back, unless anyone knows a better way of going about selling them?!?

some days i get to enter em all, and other days, like today, i just enter the 300 (they are the ones i'm after like the sunlight contest etc)
entering from roboform is really fast, and i've got mine set to open up into a firefox browser

In the PRIZES section, it says "That’s right, play every day and you could win as many prizes as your luck brings you.", so I guess you can win more than 1 instant win prize.

Thank you for your recent inquiry. Between Friday, September 21, 2007 and the morning of Monday, September 24, 2007, we had some minor technical difficulties with the Wired for School contest Website which resulted in some extra Instant Prizes being awarded.

And a lot of movie previews are over sold (They give out more tickets then seats in the theater, like airlines) and most are first come, first serve. 10 mins is a little late two. I would say 30 min is good, but 45 mins is better for a good seat. But I live in Vancouver and it might be different in your city if you live in a smaller town.

When we went to "The Kingdom" premiere, we arrived an hour before-hand and got probably the best seats. For "The Simpsons", the line was enormous: even arriving an hour before barely got us seats side by side. We were only 15 minutes early for "Blades of Glory" and we were forced to sit apart.
So it really depends on the movie. Thankfully I've never had to sit in the neck-cramping section (ie. the front.) :)

Whoo Hoo!!! On Friday, Oct 12th my daughter and I were watching Deal or No Deal, one of my favourite shows. Commercial came on and I started to get up. A very short blurp came up about entering to see Howie Mandel at the River Cree Resort and Casino in Edmonton. They gave a email address to email with your case choice. We didn't really catch the email positively, so we watched the rest of the show and hoped it came on again. It didn't. An internet search of the contest found nothing. (Global TV). I took a chance, emailed the address we thought we had heard and waited for it to bounce back to me as undeliverable. It didn't, and I forgot about it.
Yesterday I get an email from Global TV!!
You have won a pair of tickets to HOWIE MANDEL at the River Cree Resort and Casino on Tuesday October 30th AND dinner at SAGE (valued to a maximum value of $250).
I LOVE Howie Mandel!! I just picked up the tickets! 2 - $95 (plus service charges) tickets and a certificate for dinner SAGE valued up to $250! That's a $450 night out!!
I have to start starving myself right away!! How can you eat $250 worth of food?! (I don't drink) The receptionist said it is a VERY expensive and terrific restaurant! I am excited!! :)

why the hell am i not that lucky?
i am OFFICALLY debating on quiting my job and becoming a full time contest enterer and livining on a disability pension for the rest of my days until i win at least 50 GRAND worth of prizes.
i could do that....i really could....just "try" and "get a job" and fail on purpose...yes...yes....it could work....about a 1000 every month for rent and i can earn up to 500 extra...it COULD WORK....just as long as the goverment doesnt find out about the 2 harleys in the basement....hehehehe....
though srsly...i really hate some of you.....32" lcd tvs, harley sportsters, xbox 360's, nintendo wii's, video games, dvds, appliances, trips, cars....all because you people are complete contest PSYCHOS.....
tell me....ALL OF YOU....how much time do you all actually spend entering contests a day?10 hours?20 hours? 24 HOURS?!??!
because some contests are daily, weekly, monthly, hourly, unlimited, yearly, and random.....
do any of the big players here WORK AT ALL?!?!?
like ambermoon, sportmeister, sparhawk, mahjongmaniac, monkeymudge, moebius, spidey, and etc?
like seriously....HOW THE HELL DO YOU DO IT?!??!?!?
the only option you've given me thats left is.....GET INSOMINIAC ON YOUR BUTTS!

OMG OMG OMG I just won a first huge prize, it's the Ultimate Mott's Clamato Caesar contest! It's a choice between 3 incredible prize packs, each worth $6000! (I will probably select the $6000 room remodelling) Thank you Mott's!
Voshra, I work fulltime, 40+ hours a week, and just started regularly entering contests since March of this year. I spend approximately 1 hour per day on average, entering contests early in the morning while I sip coffee and try to wake up before the day begins. But even spending an hour a day has paid off - I've basically given myself a close to a $10,000 raise with my winnings so far this year. So spend a little time each day and hopefully you'll start bringing in some great prizes. (I won basically nothing for the first 6 months) Good luck!

I think there is only a few of us on here who are stay at home parents the rest i do belive have normal jobs. Im probably the most excessive enterer from what i can see on here, I tend to enter 6-12 hours a day. I spend quite a bit of time around contests.
Not sure how i compare with others as some dont post wins or may have been playing longer but in the last couple of years (2005-2007) i have a Retail value of prizes of about $42k that i have won, No major prizes such as Cars or Huge amounts of money, but have won trips, small cash, tvs, electronics, ect) and too many to name minor prizes such as Cd's umbrella's ect ..I enjoy it even if i cant make a living out of it yet :) but i do enjoy it and it seems that every year my totals get a bit higher so hopefully in a few years I will hit a MAJOR prize but then again since most prizes are minor ones i may just become over run by cds

As I have said in other threads on this site and on the tv show that did a segement on me abnout my contest entering and winning a) I do not enter everything I see, alot of the contests I do win are the kind you can only enter once and things I could use and if its a thing that more then one person can appreicate/use/enjoy then I enter. I'm lucky if I was to add all the time it takes to enter the contests I enter in a given month the only way I would surpass a 2 hour mark is if I counted the transit to a place where I have to drop off a entry/ballot. My best advice is just enter like lottery you cannot win unless you play/try. The second trip I ever won which was a trip to Las Vegas through City TV and Speakers Corner including the top prize there were 3 runner up prizes and get this including myself there were only 3 other entrants and one of them was underage so ontop of the top prize (the trip) I also got a runner up prize. So enter in some cases you can never know when you might win.

Since I don't have a passport (yet), I've been skipping over a lot of trip contests. I'm also kinda picky about what I enter, since I have a bunch of stuff I won which I have no use for. I have a few bookmarks to contest websites and the daily contests I enter. Most one-entry contests I pass on, especially those that include the U.S. Also, those that require membership/registration/lots of personal info I skip as well.
I did a rough estimate, and I've won about $5000 in prizes this year. Not bad for a few minutes a day. :)

Sounds like you have about the same entry strategy as me Lone-Prodigy... and we're winning about the same amount too... Yes, $5-10 k per year is wonderful reward for a bit of time each day.
I also skip any contests open to US... I think it would be difficult to win given the size of the contestant pool. I am working on getting passports for both my daughter and myself so that I will enter trip contests and maybe win our next vacation :)

With the exception of the "Pepsi weeks", I only enter about 30 minutes to an hour a day- usually over breakfast or right before I go to bed.

Nov 12th, 2007, 07:04 PM
sorry ppls for being such a ass on the previous page....
its just i AM one of those people that enter EVERY contest i see/hear/find/am told about.....its a REAL struggle when i have to work and go to school as i'd much rather try and win cash, electronics, and the such much more than i would want to go to school or work.
in total, since i've been a member of rfd, i have entered 848 contests. big, small, things i feel i need, things i want, things i have NO use for, things i want to get and sell for some extra cash (come on, i work my ass off and i only make about 500 dollars a MONTH!)
already, about 300 of them have dished out nothing, about 200 of them are FAR FAR FAR long shots.
this community as well as *shudders* frugal have given me a place to call home, a place that as someone has in their signature "This Site Is a Drug. Its Forum is the drug dealer" explains so much...its a addiction.
i'd rather chat it up in the video game or bst section, maybe talk about movies and music in that section, and enter every contest i'm eligible for,can enter, or exsists rather than do something i am supposed to or told to do..and OH! Who could forget the freebie section?i love that place!
the site sometimes dissappoints me, such as all these freebies and great contests that i've missed because i havent know about this site that long, all the misses opportunities that i will NEVER have time for past this young age.
i love this place, i love EVERYTHING about it.
it feels more like a home than whats under my parents roof.
it comforts me more than my parents ever do (yes, they are jerks that dont spend a cent or any time with me and don't even enjoy talking to me or let me talk to them.)
its one of the reasons i feel so at home online, rather than real life....i can communicate with others personally and friendly and its so much easier than face to face communication which i'm bad at in real life...its my haven, my love, my addiction.
i don't have friends in real life and have trouble communicating with others properly, but here i can express myself and chat the day away.
if i didnt have this place, i don't know what i would do....many other things besides the internet, video games, and music seems extremely boring. i'm a shut in, i know, but thats who i am and enjoy being...besides the weight gain i mean....
anyways, i hope you see where i'm coming from and hope to continue conversing til the end of time!:D
ok.
enough with the all serious talk!
i got my 32 bags of pringles minis today, and a free bottle of "rich people" footwear cleaner i got from filling out a small survey.
and thats my day.
Cheers.

i really dislike you sparhawk, i really really do.
anyways,
all the good freebies in the world must have died before i came to this site...i've gone through 5000+ freebies on frugal, from page 93 down to page 1, and now working on RFD....alot are the same or are not active anymore, but i trudge on through the over 200 pages from january 2006 till now....its a long long trudge...lol
today i submitted a suggestion to get a "Mail/Email Check in forum/sticky" so people can post what came in their mailbox, weather it be prizes, prize confirmations, deals, coupons, freebies, whatever! electronically and physically (mailbox) and i hope they take me up on it XD
today the now discontinued trade publication OFFER came through for that nice gamedeveloper magazine...usually costs 6.95 CAD!
as well my nestle breakfast anytime sample pack came along with 2 coupons for 1 box each of 6 individual packs of the same stuff but for all flavours!
their not bad "milkshakes", but i wouldnt waste MONEY on them...i'm pretty sure i'll have to pay the taxes which is like 40 cents each box lol.
anyways....
and yes tashndave, it has been awhile since some of us noobs (or under 6 months being here) have won stuff (BESIDES THE EVIL SATAN MADE PEPSI CONTEST I MEAN)....then again, i win alot of local stuff as in my wins, and that froster.ca contest drained alot of my luck i guess lol (the prizes totalled about $250 cash value!) and since then i've only won music downloads and a 32 pack of pringles minis from the spiderman contest!
heck, those "coupons in the mail" never came for that muchmusic moomery contest...cheap dairy farmers!
hope i win something big pretty soon!!!

I have not won the SP3 contest 2 and I posted the contest:confused: :cheesygri
Oh well I would not like some of the chips favors :lol:
Where is this located?
I have filled out two questionaires and found it lost my interest, but keep thinking it would be nice to win it, or is my time best spent trying to enter others,
I don't know,

Hows this for a crazy situation. In a early post I mentioned my recent wins which included mention of a win that included 2 tickets to the Grey Cup and a fan prize pack. Well the past few weeks I have been trying to contact the contest people cause when they senmt the release forms for myself and partner to fil out they did not mention what I was suppose to do with them once they were filled out. Anyway today I finally heard from them Tuesday and while they have to give me specifics they are no stating that the prizes and value of my win will be alot more then initially arranged to make ammends for lack of information and communication. I cannot wait to see what they do. I hope it will include some sort of trip or cash.

Every time the raptors hit a 3 pointer, The Fan 590 and V-tech are giving away free phones!!! Is that sweet or what? Raptors are such a big outside shooting team and with the likes of Parker, Bargnani, Kapono, they're going to be giving away a lot of free phoens this year!

I won the grand prize for this contest (http://www.thescore.ca/contests/300/rules.asp). Then I had to go through more than a month of correspondence to actually get the prize. Instead of the Toshiba LX177 HDTV that was advertised in the contest, they sent me an LG that cost $400 less (and got a 6.2 rating on CNET, compared to the 7.9 that the Toshiba got). So I complained and they tried to fix the problem by giving me 15 more HD-DVDs, on top of the original 10. So I had an LG tv, 25 HD-DVDs (most of which were crap that nobody would actually buy) and the 360 Elite with HD-DVD drive. They didn't give me the autographed faceplate for the 360 either. Instead they gave me an autographed cardboard DVD cover of 300 to go around my 300 HD-DVD.
But I didn't want to keep a 42 inch tv with a lousy picture, so I talked to Futureshop, where the TV was purchased from by Warner Bros Pictures (I had the payment and shipping order), and they gave me the full store credit for the LG tv (1899 + tax) and I used it for the best 32" Aquos, a Denon receiver and a Polk 5.1 system. After extended warranties for everything and delivery, it cost me an extra $300.
I don't know what the deal is with big companies being unable to deliver on grand prizes that they advertise, and it was pissing me off for a few weeks, but it worked out well in the end. Took forever to wire everything :lol: . Now I need to bring the bad HD-DVDs over to blockbuster and hope they give me credit for them and get hooked up with fewer, but better products.

One of my co-workers won the instant prize and instead of receiving a HD DVD version of 300 he received a standard DVD. He didn't kick up a fuss since he doesn't have an HD-DVD player, but it's bullsh*t anyway!
I won the grand prize for this contest (http://www.thescore.ca/contests/300/rules.asp). Then I had to go through more than a month of correspondence to actually get the prize. Instead of the Toshiba LX177 HDTV that was advertised in the contest, they sent me an LG that cost $400 less (and got a 6.2 rating on CNET, compared to the 7.9 that the Toshiba got). So I complained and they tried to fix the problem by giving me 15 more HD-DVDs, on top of the original 10. So I had an LG tv, 25 HD-DVDs (most of which were crap that nobody would actually buy) and the 360 Elite with HD-DVD drive. They didn't give me the autographed faceplate for the 360 either. Instead they gave me an autographed cardboard DVD cover of 300 to go around my 300 HD-DVD.
But I didn't want to keep a 42 inch tv with a lousy picture, so I talked to Futureshop, where the TV was purchased from by Warner Bros Pictures (I had the payment and shipping order), and they gave me the full store credit for the LG tv (1899 + tax) and I used it for the best 32" Aquos, a Denon receiver and a Polk 5.1 system. After extended warranties for everything and delivery, it cost me an extra $300.
I don't know what the deal is with big companies being unable to deliver on grand prizes that they advertise, and it was pissing me off for a few weeks, but it worked out well in the end. Took forever to wire everything :lol: . Now I need to bring the bad HD-DVDs over to blockbuster and hope they give me credit for them and get hooked up with fewer, but better products.

I guess people don't win:
I didn't get a winning email and this is what I got from Eprize today 5 Days later.
Thank you for contacting us regarding the Entertainment Publications A
Winner for Every Hour Email Program. Your question is very important
to us.
We have checked our records and do not have you listed as a confirmed
winner. As detailed in the Official Rules, all winning plays are
emailed as the page starts to load, regardless of what appears on your
screen. If you had been a winner, an email would have been sent to
the email address you used to register.
Should you need any additional clarification, or have any other
questions regarding this promotion, please do not hesitate to contact
us directly.
Thanks,
ePrize Customer Service
"NICE CUSTOMER SERVICE" WHATEVER.
THEIR SYSTEM MADE A MISTAKE
NOT ME.
The Customer is always right. Except at eprize!!!!
Today I got this message from Eprize:
"We apologize for the prior mis-communication. Please be advised that
you are listed as a potential winner of a Nintendo Wii in the A Winner
for Every Hour promotion. We did not have your win recored due to the
fact that your Skill Test answer was not received."
This is after I contacted Entertainment Publications directly.
How I'm I suppose to send my answer in if I didn't get the email question in the first place!!!!! Crazy.
Here is the question
STEP 1. Multiply 125 by 400
STEP 2. Add 1,460 to the answer from Step 1
STEP 3. Divide the answer from Step 2 by 20
STEP 4. Subtract 1,573 from the answer to Step 3
So the final answer is 1000 Right?
Just want to make sure before I send it in:)
AnnaBanana

Be careful with the math when I won my grey cup prize last month and used BEDMAS I was told my answer was wrong and asked if I did order of operations and I stated I used BEDMAS and she said no I mean (and I am not if this is correct spelling) BADSM so based on the way it sounded on phone and the fact she allowed me a second chance I did it again. I got a different answer and gave it and she stated I was correct. I was tempted to say is this a new way of math but was concerned she would revoke the second chance and the prize I won. Funny thing is friends and family do not know about this new way and some are younger, some sage age and some older. So if they state your answer was wrong ask them but given the question gives you the steps as part of the question I can't see how you could possibly get the question wrong.

I think the answer was 1000. But I hate it has a question that the answer doesn't make sense. Usually a answer like 1000 is right. But if you get a weird answer then you don't really know. If you doing the question right or not. Especially ones with out ( ) . I find the American contests are usually harder then the Canadian contest. I won a trip to the grammys a couple years ago and my answer for that contest was in the 100 thousands. It was done by CBS. The Canadian contests are like 5+6-4=
But about 2 hours after I sent back my answer I got this reply:
"Congratulations! You have been selected to receive a prize by registering in the A Winner for Every Hour Email Program, administered by ePrize.
You have won a Nintendo Wii. Please see the Official Rules for further prize details and eligibility requirements. Your win has been recorded and is subject to verification.

I won and have received a Canon powershot camera from the HBC "The big one contest" where they gave away a camera everyday.
I was hoping I could give it as a gift, but it doesn't have the shrink wrap on it. Is this normal?
Nice camera though. It doesn't look like it has been used, just not wrapped in plastic,
Excited anyways though, just doesn't look good giving a gift that isn't sealed, like I bought it used , or something, ( instead of a win:lol: )
Yaaa a win though and a good one.

From: http://mathforum.org/dr.math/faq/faq.order.operations.html
PEMDAS
(You might remember this as "Please excuse my dear Aunt Sally.")
Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication and Division
Addition and Subtraction
This means that you should do what is possible within parentheses first, then exponents, then multiplication and division (from left to right), and then addition and subtraction (from left to right). If parentheses are enclosed within other parentheses, work from the inside out.
Some people are taught to remember BEDMAS:
Brackets
Exponents
Division and Multiplication, left to right
Addition and Subtraction, left to right
Here are two examples:
3 + 5 x 7 = ?
3 + 5 x 7 = 3 + 35 = 38
(1 + 3) x (8 - 4) = ?
(1 + 3) x (8 - 4) = 4 x 4 = 16

Like I said everyone I have relayed this to young, old and same age were taught BEDMAS and no one has heard of the other method. I am thankful I was able to decipher what the contest notifier said and got the "right" answer the second time around. Would of been intersting if I got it wrong that time what would of happened truth be told I liked my skill testing question they gave me 3 years ago alot better.

Just got the forms from Air Canada for their "St Lucia Simply Beautiful" contest. The prize is seven days at the Jade Mountain resort, plus airfare and transfers from airport to hotel in St Lucia - value $12,000!!!
You should see the resort (www.jademountainstlucia.com) - there are only 24 suites there and each one has its own swimming pool in the room!
I can't believe I actually won a great big prize like this and can't wait to go.

Finally won something! I have to call them back for a release form.
Turns out I won a prize pack consisting of a P.S. I Love You book, two(2) run-of-engagement passes to the movie and a P.S. I Love You soundtrack. Approximate retail value of each secondary prize is $ 57.95 CDN.
...
Offtopic, but do they always require you to sign a release form?

Very true, I only entered maybe 200 or so contest last year and won maybe 4-5 small prizes. The year before that I must've entered a few thousand and came out with a few thousand worth of prizes. It's all a numbers game, just keep entering everything you see.

Yup, a numbers game for sure.
Last year 1 entered about 100 a day for a total of about 36,500 and won 60 prizes (total value $8,000, half were cash). I also entered that stupid Pepsi contest 1,000 times a day for 60 days and didn't win squat! But I figured those entries were buying me prizes in other contests just from the sheer volume of entries I was putting in, lol.
You really have to be persistent and just enter, enter and enter.
So far this year I've won two prizes. My heating bill for December from the Weather Channel and a $50 game for my son from YTV.

Also, the thing is, in a forum like RFD with hundreds and thousands of members, the only ones who post they won are the ones who win. So it's easy to read the list of wins and think "everyone's winning but me", but remember that for every winner thousands of people entered that contest who didn't win. No one's posting the list of contests they didn't win (thankfully).Now admittedly, some here seem to have ridiculously good luck, but that's just because they've made deals with the devil;).

The advice I give is enter what you think you would like otr can use. It amazes me sometimes how I hear about people who enter just for the sake of entering. I for one do not enter everything I see but keep this in mind you can never win a contest that you have never won. I once won a trip where besides myself 3 other people entered and it was through a major tv station and on the other side of the coin have won prizes not listed in the prize list for the contest. So have fun and you never know when things might strike. Last year I had a strech where I had a bunch of mini contest wins and then I had 2 sorta not so mini contests wins a week apart.

I agree totally.
If you notice, most of the contests I post are either local or require you to be a client of theirs or require some effort like an essay or photo or just simply are not known to offer contests. There is no need to post the contests from sites that everyone visits everyday, we're all going to find them ourselves.
Good luck everyone.
PS: Freakx2001 made my day today. They won a contest from one of those sites that most of us would never come across that I posted a week or so back.

Anyhow, I got an email saying that I won a trip to see Sidney Crosby play in Pittsburgh! Yeehaw!!!
I asked my mom to go with me because we never go anywhere & she just retired. We leave on Thursday, March 20 & return on Sunday the 23. The game is on Saturday night. Unfortunately that is Easter weekend, but who cares?! haha!
There is also $500 spending money & a Meet & Greet with Sidney Crosby!! Yeehaw! Now what can I get him to autograph?!
Until now, I've never won anything good! Yippie!

I joined in December and one of the 1st posts I read was a contest for Rogers Customer appreciation. The screen was set up with 20 gift boxes to choose so just jokingly I had my 6 year old daughter choose one.
"You are the winner of a Sony Blue Tooth Mini Stereo"!!!
I really couldn't believe it until a confirmation letter was sent and now I just wait the 60 days for the prize!
I've started entering every contest possible since then...

Won a $100 Chapters gift card for having 2500th post in RFD contest - or so I thought! About a month after the contest ended RFD claimed that people had been deleting posts which meant that although the system says my post was number 2500, it was not, in fact number 2500. Very odd... It seems like the kind of thing that you would hear from some obscure contest on some obscure website, but sad to see from RFD.

If you read the rules it says "anyone who posts more than 5 times will have subsequent posts disqualified." So I guess they went through all 2500 after the contest was over and removed all the disqualified posts.

Looking at the claim form, however, it says "Concours Tokyo d’Energizer Canada" (I don''t know why they sent me a French form--the rest of the email was English) which makes me think it was actually a different contest, and I didn't win a trip to Tokyo.

Congrats on winning a prize. I was hopeful that I would win SOMETHING, but no emails so far. I entered that one religiously (despite not being able to use a form filler - I usually skip those because I can't be bothered) and thought there might be a decent chance of winning something since there were a fair number of secondary prizes.

What contest is this and is it over? Is this where you walk into a glass room and they blow money all over you need to catch as much as you can? If so, that's freaking cool as heck.
I think a trick would be to wear a turtle neck and pull your shirt out and let the money get trapped under it! Good luck!

What contest is this and is it over? Is this where you walk into a glass room and they blow money all over you need to catch as much as you can? If so, that's freaking cool as heck.
I think a trick would be to wear a turtle neck and pull your shirt out and let the money get trapped under it! Good luck!
LOL. Thats not a bad idea. I wonder what the rules are.... like... HUGE HUGE pants too.. like for a 600 pound man.. Put a belt on and when the money starts blowing just undo the belt and catch it all in your pants...
or put something like honey on your hands and arms..

I won a Slingbox solo from the FAN590's online page -- I blew all my FAN points on a draw, and won it.
Unfortunately, I can't use it very effectively. I'll be selling it soon, and fortunately, I didn't open the box.

Slingbox is a device the connects up to 4 Video/Audio sources and when connected to your network lets you view and control them (1 at a time). Theoretically you could log onto the net in Toyko and watch whatever is connected at home and change channels. Network speed determines video quality. I use it to watch the Blue Jays (baseball) outside on my laptop by the pool with the kids...Lots of uses especially if you connect a PVR to it.
Still waiting for my Sony Blue Tooth Mini Stereo I won in December...

I won 2 advance screening passes to "Over Her Dead Body" today. Yay, my first ever Internet win!!! :)
Unfortunately, I have a test the day after the screening, so I'm not going to be able to make it!!! :evil:
Are advance screening tickets usually only acceptable on that certain date? Haven't received the tickets yet...

It's usually for a special preview screening that the movie studio rents the theater for that screening to promote the movie and get the word of month out before the movie opens. And the pass is usually printed with that date and time. So you probably can't use it any other time. >:( Is it tribute that you won it from? They will just mail it to you and you can give it to a friend or someone that can use it. As it will just say admit two people to the screen of.... at this certain time at ... Theater.
But Congrads on your first win. And yes people do win. Now you have proof:)

My5kids,
I'm a stay-at-home-mom too, and started the summer/fall before you. It just seems to get better and better as I keep winning more and more often.
Last year I had a total of $8,000 with half of it cash, and this year I've already won 4 contests with a value of $353. I think that it is a really good start to the year and am looking forward to trying to better last year's record.
We really need the money and the contesting has taken us from being what the federal government calls "low income family", to being able to go to a restaurant once in a while or buy something without worrying if the $20 will put us in the poor house.
Happy contesting to you this year as well (and all of the other RFD'er's too!), and glad to know that I'm not the only over 30 dame on the board, lol.

Since everyone is posting a summary of their wins throughout 2007 I figured I'd jump in too! I discovered RFD in April '07 trying to track down some information on Nintendo Wii stock in Ottawa and found the contest page. Tried it out and then got hooked after a couple of wins.
1 GB Sandisk Sansa MP3 player 70$
Xbox 360 Premium 300$
Moosehead Light T-Shirt 20$
Fire extinguisher 15$
Halo 3 Legendary game Package X 2 300$
Xbox 360 Arcade 300$
50 $ HBC Gift Certificate 50$
Assassin's Creed 60$
Halo 3 Limited Edition Wireless Controller 70$
for a total of 1185$
I consider myself to be pretty lucky with that! I agree that seeing everyone's wins is very motivating. Its a very slow start for me in 2008 (0 Wins to date) but it hasn't even been a month yet. So hopefully my good luck will keep up!
Good luck to everyone in 2008!

December: Sony Blue Tooth Micro Stereo (Rogers Customer Contest) MIA
January: Nintendo Wii + 4 Tickets Toronto Rock (Toronto Rock)
Quick Question: I'm a photo buff and wondered about a source of photo contests info. Every photo contest link I hit produces mostly advertisements.
Thanks again Gang!
BTW, Sony Stereo just arrived today, sent papers on Jan 6th.
Won the Wii on Monday and arrived Wednesday! Go Toronto Rock!

I don't know if this is posted in the right thread (I don't know where else to put it), but I really need help, and hopefully someone can help me...
I won one of the 32" Westinghouse LCD TV's from Dell's "Experience Dell" contest in mid-November. I received a confirmation email from Stephanie Parrott of Launch Fire (the company which did the contest for Dell), which contained the address and release forms. I completed them, faxed them back to the number she gave me before the dead line, and she sent me an email the next day (Nov. 27) confirming they received the completed forms, and that I would receive the shipment in 6-8 weeks.
I was afraid it could possibly arrive a week or two early since I was out of the country during Christmas holidays, so I emailed her asking if there was a tracking number or Dell order number for the TV's progress in being shipped. She replied just before new years saying they don't usually give that info out to winners, but to help me out, she would try to find the number from Dell for me.
I haven't received a reply from her since. I emailed her Friday last week about it in case she forgot, and she hasn't replied back. It's also past 8 weeks now since I received that confirmation email saying they received the release/address forms. I haven't received the TV, or any notice from Dell either. Do any previous Dell winners know what Dell does before sending you the prize?
More importantly, does anyone know of who I could email/call at Dell/Launch Fire regarding where my TV is? I actually really need it because my trusty old CRT of 22 years finally died on me 2 weeks ago and I've had no TV to watch because I was expecting the LCD to come in. :(
Any help would be appreciated! (if this is posted in the wrong thread, please kindly tell me where to post it)

I'd gaive it a few more days maybe because of the holidays it was delayed a little bit. After that keep e-mailing and faxing them perhaps send a fax and call them cause maybe if you deluge them enough they will reply just to get you to stop. I hope you kept the originals and sent in the copy of the forms though.

yup, still have the originals :), thanks for the advice, i guess i'll wait one more week before bombarding them lol
though does anyone know of someone i could contact directly besides stephanie parrott? I read on another dell contest thread here on RFD (http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=219249&highlight=dell+contest) of people who didn't receive prizes emailing Katya_Mohsen@dell.com...does anybody know if that would that work for the Experience Dell contest (or know of a contact that would serve a similar purpose)?

Got a call last night... won Vtech 3 in to win.
Not bad, I guess. For those that have won, how is the phone?
I really like ours. Its nice to have the second handset and not worry about a phone line.
The answering machine is nice to since it cleared up the clutter of having a phone and answering machine seperate.
The thin design is different, just maybe because Im used to thicker phones.
Very useful prize in my opinion

Big thanks to Spidey and the gang here for getting me hooked.
Who doesn't want to try after reading Spidey's list?
December: Sony Blue Tooth Micro Stereo (Rogers Customer Contest) MIA
January: Nintendo Wii + 4 Tickets Toronto Rock (Toronto Rock)
Quick Question: I'm a photo buff and wondered about a source of photo contests info. Every photo contest link I hit produces mostly advertisements.
Thanks again Gang!
BTW, Sony Stereo just arrived today, sent papers on Jan 6th.
Won the Wii on Monday and arrived Wednesday! Go Toronto Rock!
BTW, posted stereo for trade in the B&S forums, really need a HD-DVD player instead.
Glad I could help. I would say know contesting is a definite hobby of mine. Once you have the tools to make it easier (auto fillers and contest sites like this) it can be a relaxing way to wind down the day.
If I entered every contest I could find, it would be a full time job. But I usually just do it at the end of the day watching a show, etc. Or on a Sunday morning having a coffee, etc.
Hope you have some big wins this year

Congrats Bidchka! What's the prize???
I was checking their past prizes and they have awarded people $50 GC @ Rosewater Super Club, Quebec Prize Packs, etc..
I won a Sandals Wallet and Pen. :confused: Maybe it's eelskin and Mont Blanc ;) So what happened ? They probably went to Sandals for business and walked by the housekeeping cart and thought, hey that would make a great contest prize :lol: :lol:

Add to that my St. Lucia vacation from Air Canada Vacations (value of $12,000!!!!) that I won at the beginning of January and I'm having a pretty good year so far too.
Now I need to win something else just in time for my birthday at the end of February....

They are easy enough to enter and combines for over 20 contests a day but they are open to USA, CANADA and ENGLAND....So what are your odds? 200,000 to 1 or more for a single DVD of JackAss 1 1/2? hmmm.

Feb 18th, 2008, 12:16 PM
Most Tribute.ca contests are daily and Canadian only
I would assume that about 10,000 enter daily. So as long as you enter daily as well then your odds are probably 1:10,000. That would depend on if 10,000 entered and if there are more then 1 prize. With larger prizes there is normally only one but for the DVDs and things like that it seems to be 10.

I think someone had posted the daily answers so I didn't have to goggle too much for that one.
I must say that the Toronto Rock (Core Media I think) handled that contest very professionally compared to others.
I was notified of the win on a Monday or Tuesday and had to fax them a photocopy of my drivers ID for comfirmation.
I had the Wii, Madden 2007 and 4 tickets to a Rock game delivered to my door thursday or Friday of the same week!
Thats quite awesome considering all the stories here of people waiting months or just not receiving their prize at all.

It would be nice to hear from Spidey too! Hearing that Spidey hasn't won in awhile would give some of the other unlucky Febuary players hope!

Spidey, I hope you love your Sharp as much as I do. I bought one before christmas after much research. It's awesome for gaming also as my computer and Wii (Won it) are hooked to it. I have the 42" Sharp so if you have any questions feel free to pm me.
After seeing the kids throw the Wii controllers within inches of the screen I built a protective screen for it RIGHT AWAY!
On another note: I'm basically a computer geek and wondered if there are any others here that want to share ideas on contesting. I'm no great programmer but have managed to automate alot of the procedures (legally of course). Just pm me and maybe we can share an idea or two, no need to keep re-inventing the wheel...
For non-computer geeks, don't worry. Bidchka, Spidey and the gang seem to be doing alot better than me! I think their hard work, attitude and persistance will beat "sweeps programs" every time!

So I've read that some of you guys have been getting surprises in your mailboxes. So far everything I have won, I have been notified. So I check my mailbox today and low and behold I have an envelope with something heavy in it. No return address or company logo. So I open it cautiously to find a copy this months Chatelaine, So I'm thinking sh#t, I signed up for a magazine while entering a contest. But I'm wondering why it would come in an envelope. So I start flipping through the pages and come across the Kleenex let it out contest spread. I'm checking it out when all of a sudden I see my photo submission to this contest, in their ad. That was kinda funny. Anyhow, this is some of my stuff recently.

from mapleleafs.com i won one of the "ultimate hockey night" prizes
my prize was:
pair of gondola seats to the leafs vs buffalo game mar 15 (buffalo won 6-2, blech)
the gondola had free food and soft drinks
i was given a leafs jersey with a number on it that was in a draw with the other 19 people who won tickets...6 of those people got to get in another draw for $6649 but i didn't make it to either round
i got to keep the official Leafs jersey though....but it had number 37 on the back (no player with that number) and instead of a name it says "lotto 649"
they also gave me a very nice maple leafs duffel bag with a toque, 2 different leafs caps, 4 different leafs shirts, and a 52-draw subscription to lotto 649 so maybe i'll win the big bucks! i also got a huge golf umbrella and a gameday program. not bad over all.
my guest also got a free hat and t shirt
it was a fun night despite the leafs' miserable performance in a must-win situation

Spidey I'm sorry you too are on a dry spell but (I hope this sounds right) it's a good thing for others here. Some people are discouraged early when they see people winning constantly but themselves having zero results. Your winning list make may people envious, including me!
I think we just have to let Bidchka take everything this month and cross our fingers for April! Go Bidchka go! It's nice when pictures are posted!

Mar 20th, 2008, 04:35 PM
Corizzle, if you've only entered 200, that is statistically not a great amount over four months in the contest world.
I usually enter about 100 a day (36,500 in a year), and in 2007 won 41 prizes. That works out to one win for every 890 entries. This year so far, at 100 per day (7,900 entries), I've won 10 prizes, which works out to one prize for each 790 entries.
I truly believe it is a numbers game and if you have the quantity of entries, you WILL win.
Good luck to you and I hope that you can start entering more often.
Raycaster
Mar 20th, 2008, 05:06 PM
PickMePickMe is dead on with the numbers.
Its pretty easy to enter close to 200 dailys and 5 - 10 new One Entry contests every day. If your organized it should take less than 30 minutes daily. Also having willing friend's email for referrals helps too.
Bidchka and Spidey may have lucky Karma but its probably a safe bet that they play their "share" of contests and are VERY organized to be as successfull as they are.

It's alot of fun if you let it. Just enter and forget them. I've been entering for over 20 years. I started back in the day when you either had to mail them in or drop them in ballot boxes.
Enjoy your prize and continue your luck.
PS: I was at Wal-Mart earlier and they had an in-store contest for a propane BBQ. I took a peek in the ballot box and there was probably only 10 ballots in there. I've seen that BBQ there for about a month now. So I entered. The one twist is you have to make a donation to the charity. Any amount is fine.

Some of you might remember that I was in the final 5 of the Pepsi Can Design contest.
I wasn't allowed to have a thread showing my work and asking for votes here on RFD but some of you did help out as best you could and thanks again for that!
My design didn't win...but there was a bit of a legal fiasco surrounding the winner, since they used some Photoshop brushes made by a person with a deviant art website and may have used them without permission. Anyway, permissions were eventually granted, etc....but in order to possibly placate the 4 non-winners, Pepsi decided to "award" a sort of runner up prize to the non-winning 4 finalists. In exchange for $5,000 each, Pepsi wanted us to certify that our designs were our own and that we didn't steal anything without permission, etc. Pepsi said that they loved all the designs and want to have the rights to them if they ever decide to use them on a can. I'm not sure if the design will ever make it to a can, but I'm glad they made this decision either way.
Soooooo, I get $5000 for not winning. Not bad!
If any of you see my design on a can someplace, please let me know and buy one so that Pepsi can keep giving away great prizes...just check out my signature to see how nice they've been to me! :)
This was my design (check out www.pepsiaccess.ca to see it on a virtual can if the finalists' gallery is still up):

WOW! Despite the fact that I was shut out of the Pepsi contest this year (I hated the new format), this is just further proof that from a contest perspective, Pepsi rules and Coke sucks! I don't think Coke would step up to the plate like that.
Congrats on your win. 5K in cash is one sweet prize!

I wasn't allowed to have a thread showing my work and asking for votes here on RFD but some of you did help out as best you could and thanks again for that!
My design didn't win...but there was a bit of a legal fiasco surrounding the winner, since they used some Photoshop brushes made by a person with a deviant art website and may have used them without permission. Anyway, permissions were eventually granted, etc....but in order to possibly placate the 4 non-winners, Pepsi decided to "award" a sort of runner up prize to the non-winning 4 finalists. In exchange for $5,000 each, Pepsi wanted us to certify that our designs were our own and that we didn't steal anything without permission, etc. Pepsi said that they loved all the designs and want to have the rights to them if they ever decide to use them on a can. I'm not sure if the design will ever make it to a can, but I'm glad they made this decision either way.
Soooooo, I get $5000 for not winning. Not bad!
If any of you see my design on a can someplace, please let me know and buy one so that Pepsi can keep giving away great prizes...just check out my signature to see how nice they've been to me! :)
This was my design (check out www.pepsiaccess.ca to see it on a virtual can if the finalists' gallery is still up):

This week we have the eggs contest hockey trip, the lindt chocolate bunny trip, the whistler trip, the london trip, the vegas trip, calgary trip, $2000 cash, mayan riveria trip, australia trip and bunch of cool stuff like washer and dryer. So if it's coming this week, I'd like to go to Australia. :lol: :D

I realize this is a old question but are most people using some form of an autofill program? I saw on another site a person swore that once she stopped using Roboform and went back to manual input she started winning...
She made the assumption most contest sites can now easily detect Roboform. I'm no professional but I don't think it would take much code for a web author to log your in and out date stamp and figure out you filled out a 9 field questonaire in under 4 seconds...
Sure seems like a "grey" area when most contests say no "auto help" and then most people say Roboform is not included in that...
Any thoughts from our big winners? I'm not 100% sure but I think Roboform helped in my 2 "big" wins...

I think that when the rules say no scripts, robotics filling, yadda yadda.. I think they are talking about that service you can subscribe to that will enter your contests for you, even the ones with verification text. It enters like thousands a day for each person.

thanks....though i think that the votes did actually NOT pay off...since the final 5 were chosen by pepsi and i didn't win the voting (the grand prize was $10,000)..and i don't know if i was 2nd or 5th in the votes
but at any rate, i do appreciate those of you who did try to help out by voting for my design :)

WOW! Despite the fact that I was shut out of the Pepsi contest this year (I hated the new format), this is just further proof that from a contest perspective, Pepsi rules and Coke sucks! I don't think Coke would step up to the plate like that.
Congrats on your win. 5K in cash is one sweet prize!
pepsi contests are sooooo much better than icoke contests...and don't even get me started on the insanity of the icoins - i was at the foo fighters concert last night and was reminded that at all events at the ACC, they keep your coke bottle caps...which means at the end of the night someone can walk away with thousands of codes to enter on the icoke site. such a stupid idea.
wow... thats amazing. CONGRATS!!! well done!
thanks!!
What a nice surprise for you!~
And that truly is a winning design you created!
it was a huge surprise after knowing i hadn't won the contest for quite a while. thanks a lot, glad you like it :)
Congrats buddy. That is awesome. Very well done.

The funny thing is that I still have the coupon from the last Sealtest contest cuz I haven't been to a grovery chain that sells sealtest. I've been to No Frills, Dominion, and Food Basics thus far.

i'm a moderate contest enterer and winner and have never used roboform not that i would know where to get or be able to aford it. i would be hard pressed to say i spend more then a hour a week on contest entering. most of the people i know that use it are people that enter a uber amount of contests. i figure if i cannot spend a few extra minutes entering a contest its not worth entering plus if a mistake is made i would rather it be my doing and nor a program that could have a problem without warning.

$25 us AMEX GC that can only be used in the US. I phoned the 1-800 and asked if I could used it in Canada.
No, you can't use in Canada. Good thing I have a passport and live 30-45 mins from the border. But there was a 5 hour wait last week. :cry:

I received the $100 Amex gift card I won from a Blog contest and also noticed it was only good in the US. I called the toll free number and spoke to a rep who offered to send me a refund since I rarely visit the US. Don't ask me which number I pressed to speak with a live person, because there was no option for that in the menu.

Expiration dates are often stamped into the cardboard without ink.
You could call the 1-800 # on the box. If there is a printed code on the box they can tell you what the expiration date is.
You could also donate to your local food bank. Share the wonder of the diamond with the less fortunate.

Congrats Bidchka and others.
This month it would be nice for one of us to win BIG stuff and trips!
BTW, those shreddies bowls looked great!
I feel left out not winning any vtech phones now that the season is almost over. Really tough as the Raptor's can't seem to hit 3's anymore!

Umm Hmm, right.
I enter about 25-50 a day. I usually only enter a contest if I really want the prize. I don't just enter a contest just to enter it. If it a cd or dvd that I would never watch or listen to. I just pass it by.
Hey Spidey, whatcha gonna do that with figurine you won? I guess that's for one of your children? Or since you're such a huge FOX fan, I guess you'll put it behind glass.
Well, I guess there's always that guy who posted that he wants to buy it off you too ...
