I'm entering blog sweepstakes lately, and trying to fulfill what they ask when they want you to share a link to a Facebook share. I know how to share a link, and I see the posts in my timeline. How do I get the link to the single share post? I'm clicking all over the place and can't find a...

I got an exciting win email a little while ago telling me that I'm a winner of an iVillage sweepstakes, so I answered and accepted. Then she emails back and says she sent a retraction email, and didn't I see it? Did anybody else get this email, and also do they owe me a prize, or what...

Has anybody won a Twitter sweepstakes and couldn't get a response about the prize? Before Christmas McDonald's tweeted that I was among several prize winners of an NFL jersey. They asked us to follow and DM. I guess that means direct message. I did so immediately and got no response, so I sent...

I won a $50 gift card in the GMC Heavy Duty Pickup Games Sweepstakes a few months ago and got the card last week. So I go shopping and try to use the card to pay for the order. Unfortunately, the value on the card is $0. I contacted customer service days ago and they're "looking into it" but so...

I got an email from Babbleandbeat.com telling me I entered twice and I am now disqualified. They took time out of their day to tell me this. I told them I didn't get an entry confirmation so I clicked submit twice. I also said that I'll not visit their site or enter their contests again...

Cash "win" now an aggravation In December, I "won" $1,250 from the V-local.com contest, and was asked to provide my license to prove my identity and age requirements. I did so immediately, and was told to expect my prize soon. "Soon" is almost 2 months later. They emailed me about ten days...

I thought it would be nice to post a few pics of my recent trip to Berlin, commemorating the 20th anniversary of the toppling of Die Berliner Mauer. This was the second trip I won at SA. :sunny: I think the trip was special enough to post this and share some of the history I experienced while...

I'm looking for a program that will automate text typing using hotkeys to fill flash forms and speed up email submissions, but having problems finding a simple program that will do it. Mac has a very good utility called TypeIt4Me, but that won't work using XP. I already downloaded a program...

I used to enter it just fine using Firefox, but now can't since changing my computer from Vista to XP (which required a complete wipeoff). I updated Shockwave and Flash player both twice, but it hasn't helped. This very vexing, and I think I'm having the same problem with the Quiznos sweep...

When I went back to the Wrigley/NBA game to play, I got a notification on the results page that I already won and I'm limited to a single instant win prize. The prizes are $25 and $100 gift certificates to the NBA store. Nice, but I don't have an email with the code. When I wrote to them I got a...

What happens if you win a free item but can't print the coupon? I won the jar of Pace salsa on the laptop, but the computer is connected to the desktop. It looks like I have to forgo this win. :cussing:

I'm mad about it. :cussing:

What's the latest best place to sell or barter your stuff that is NOT eBay? It's starting to pile up on me, and I gotta start selling again, but I'm fed up with eBay's fees and policies. They used to be great. :cry:

I won a $50 Amex debit card in the Kraft contest a few months ago, and having a problem using it. Whenever I try to pay with it there is a need for a PIN and I don't have one. Sometimes the cashier is able to bypass this requirement, but more often I have to pay with my credit card or cash...

I haven't had much time for sweeps or forums lately, but got a couple of nice wins in the mail. The other day I got my 7/31 Giveawayaday prize of a $25 Amazon g.c. (so yes, people do win from them) Today, I received a $25 check from the Healthy Half-Time sweepstakes, which was a surprise...
