-any store survey contest printed on the receipt
-Tripcentral daily Trip Trivia contest
-Divine.ca daily contests
-Francoischarron.com contests
-The Kit contests

Thanks for sharing! (I've been entering these contests/surveys faithfully with no wins.)

I won a trip to Cuba 5* from trip trivia a few years ago, when Qc was still allowed to participate. They let me leave from Montreal too.

So does anyone know what exactly happens when you report someone for spam on twitter? Lately I have been bombarded by bots re-tweeting and I have taken to reporting them and them blocking them so I was wondering what twitter does or if they even do anything at all.

Good for you! I've stopped entering trip trivia because it's a Toronto departure. Don't think they'd let me leave from BC.

They never say what might happen, but it makes me feel better at the very least. Lol

I know what you mean. I usually would just block them but lately it's been 2+ a day everyday and I do get a little bit of pleasure from reporting them.

I'm searching for the proper place to submit this post - this seemed to closest match - my apologies if I'm wrong!

I've been entering contests on the Francois Charron site for several years.
Recently, I viewed the winners page, and although all contests are open to all of Canada, all past contest winners are located in Quebec.
I'm not complaining - only trying to determine if I'm wasting my time by continuing to enter.
Has anyone living outside of Quebec ever won anything from contests on this site?
Many thanks for your feedback! :)

You're most likely wasting your time. I stopped entering those contests because it's obvious they only want french people winning. There's a few Quebec-based ones like that that claim to be open to all of Canada but only ever award prizes to people in Quebec.

Thanks, Bob!
They offer some amazing prizes, but if entering is a total waste of time, then I must pass :(

If anyone ever sees 416-384-8000 on the call display, you make sure you pick it up as fast as you can.

Oh I didn't mean that they were calling everyone at the moment or something. It's just Bell Media's main number and you should pick it up cause you'll most likely get some good news.

CAUTION- Scam or VIRUS or SCREW UP. 1st time receiving Reminder Email about my DMR Points expiring. I basically use points to enter contests, sometimes Rewards. I thought it might be a scam, points and ID Log in correct, a Link to Terms & Conditions and LOG In button provided...Hmmm? So I didn't follow link in email but checked DMR web site for TERMS & CONDITIONS. "Any Points remaining in an Enrollee’s Account which has remained inactive for a period of 210 consecutive days or more will be forfeited without compensation. Failure to earn Points as described in Section E above or redeem Points for Rewards as described in Section F above constitutes inactivity for purposes of this condition." Very Strange since I played both November DMR Challenges and used points to enter Aladdin Sweeps mid October. Below is content of email I received.

Hurry You are about to Lose your Points.

Dear XXX,

Your XXX points balance is scheduled to expire unless you take immediate action today. In order to keep your account active, you need to engage in activities to build your points balance (such as entering an eligible Magic Code or purchasing an eligible movie ticket) or redeem your points balance for rewards. Please refer to Sections E and F of the Disney Movie Rewards Terms and Conditions for details. (LINK PROVIDED and LOG IN BUTTON too)

In body of email provided my LOG IN ID, Points expiring (correct) and date of expiration (December 21).

Your Friends At,
Disney Movie Rewards

I clicked through the link not realizing that this might be a scam. Entered a contest using some points. After reading all this I went in (not via the email) and changed my password.

Has anyone entered the Kernels contest today? I got this message: The site ahead contains malware
