I do the same and have never had an issue with wins. If anyone asked, I would just claim that I must have made a mistake on the entry form. I doubt anyone would lose a prize over it - they are mainly looking for AOM, one number off could easily be a typo.daveyboy1 wrote: ↑ Quick question......

I do the correct year but the wrong month and day. Never had an issue claiming prizes. I have had a few notices of data breaches with the email address I use exclusively for contests over the years.daveyboy1 wrote: ↑ Quick question......

I won a hotel stay as part of a prize at the end of last year. I still had to provide a credit card at check-in for any incidentals.

Every trip I've won that included a hotel stay I had to provide my credit card at check-in for this purpose. Never actually been charged anything, mind you.

Yes you have to have a credit card because if you or someone your with trashes the room or steals something they need the card to get their money back.

I see that the Balzac's Word of the Day contest is still live until March 29, 2024, but I can't find the list of words from the original posting. Has the prize to Paris already been won?
2023: The Little Mermaid Doll, Shazam 2 4K Steelbook; 2021: $1000 Mastercard; 2020: $200, AirPod Pro; 2018: Sam Smith Tickets

I've haven't seen them post a winner on any social media.

Wondering why https://forums.redflagdeals.com/2024-03-29-iheart-taylor-swift-double-play-only-listen-between-7am-7-pm-2679741/ was moved to the Expired Contests? As was posted in the discussion, there still is an active link to enter the contest here.

It's very possible that someone reported it expired because they were not able to enter, which happened more frequently in Hot Deal forums.deity_of_death wrote: ↑ Wondering why https://forums.redflagdeals.com/2024-03-29-iheart-taylor-swift-double-play-only-listen-between-7am-7-pm-2679741/ was moved to the Expired Contests?

Don't know how to repost or un-expire the old one...
