If you’ve ever read anything entitled ‘How to Win at Sweepstakes’, the first rule is always: “Find sweepstakes with the fewest entries, duh!” Well, the Sears/SUWR Sweeps are them, because they are such a pain to enter. However, I can attest that it’s worth the effort. I have been entering them...

I was thinking how much of a pain these Sears ShopYourWayRewards Sweeps were to enter, and considering not bothering anymore, when I just got an email saying that I had won the 500,000 SUWR Point ($500) Back to Campus Sweepstakes!!! And it's already in my account! Guess who's shopping at Sears...

Got a Congratulations e-mail with a $25 e-gift code to RedEnvelope.com (This is the IW Sweep where you have to wait for their e-mail to find out if you won or not - annoying). Went to the website. They have some interesting things at reasonable prices, but their shipping charges are outrageous...

First Prize - Purina & Family Dollar 'We Heart Pets' Sweepstakes I got a call saying that I had won something and would be receiving an affi., but they wouldn't say what I had won until I returned it. As soon as I returned it, I got the following e-mail: Hello Lyman - Your affidavit has been...

These people are fantastic to work with - here's the story: I missed the call today notifying me that I was one of the daily winners - BUT THEY LEFT A MESSAGE! When I called back, I learned that the prize I had won was, sadly, one of the few I couldn't use: a YMCA membership for 4 worth $500...

If you're like me, besides sweeping, you're always looking for ways to make money on the web; so I thought we could share our 'finds' with each other. My favorite is Unique Rewards, because: 1) Their threshold for payment is lower than most, only $20. 2) Their payment for responding to offers is...

As of 2/1/11 I have 16 bags of cough drops. How is everybody else doing? Frankly, I would rather have won the boat or the car!

Finally my dry spell (except for the ridiculous S'Mores bucket) has been broken with this email I got this morning: Congratulations! You have been selected as a winner in the eBay Holiday Jump Start Sweepstakes! You have won a $100 eBay gift certificate. The gift certificate will be...

One additional suggestion. Besides checking your e-mail every day; also, check and clear you "spam" folder every day. I have had several winning notices diverted to "spam".

I'm so excited! I received this e-mail on Tuesday. Ezwingame Winner Tuesday, June 8, 2010 12:46 AM From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Congratulations You have won a Win A Free HP Netbook Please fill out the attached Sweepstakes Release form in order to receive your Win A Free...

Has anyone seen an article that estimates how much is given away each year in Sweeps and Contests? It would be interesting to know. Also, most industries have a Trade Publication, yet I have never found one for the Sweeps Industry. Has anyone ever seen one?

I was pleasantly surprised to find the following e-mail this morning. But it should serve as a reminder to everyone to check their spam folder every day, because that's where I found it even though I get their newsletter in my regular e-mail! Dear XXXXX XXXXXXX...
