Over the past week or two, whenever I've tried to access the New Sweeps or the SA Forum, I've gotten an Error 520 message from CloudFlare which indicates that the SweepsAdvantage.com is generating an error. There's a button in the upper right corner of the page that says "Retry for a live...

Over the past week or so, I've had a sudden spate of problems with multiple sweeps, all telling me that I've "already entered today" or "already requested an entry code today." In each and every case, I had not entered that day and, in most cases, my previous entry had been more than 24 hours...

I had been going through a dry period recently -- the value of my wins in 2013 was about 25% lower than my usual annual average. But maybe 2014 is turning the corner... In the past couple of weeks, I've won a portable bluetooth speaker from AC Delco worth about $27, a one-year World Explorer...

I've won some great prizes from MyCokeRewards over the years, so I know it's generally a legit contest. But in the past few months, I've experienced some troubling things dealing with them... I was notified that I had won a small prize and told that I'd need to use a code to redeem it. (This is...

From OurState.com, I just won a 3-day, 2-night stay in a luxury cabin at Leatherneck Mountain in Western North Carolin, along with dinner and a 2-hour horseback ride on their extensive mountain trails. This is a good win for us, since it will put us in the neighborhood of a good friend just over...

FedEx brought a surprise win today -- a "Bones Brigade" Prize Pack from Vans that I won from a starpulse.com contest. It included 2 pairs of sneakers, 2 t-shirts, a long-sleeved t-shirt, a long-sleeved sweat shirt and 2 baseball caps with a total value of about $330. And everything was in my...

I had a very successful series of big wins early in the year (including a car and a few thousand in cash), but lately I had been going through a dry spell. It broke today. I was just notified that I won a prize in the Valpak and Friends sweepstakes: A trip for 2 to Orlando with luxury...

I just did an audit of my contest and sweeps entries and wins over the past 6 years and I thought others might find it of interest. During that time, I have entered 48,958 contests and won a prize at least 528 times. That’s a win ratio of 1 wins out of 1%. Here’s how they break down: 411 wins...

I was just notified that I won the Grand Prize in the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Summer Sweepstakes -- a full week at the Villa del Palma Resort & Spa in Islands of Loreto, Mexico, with airfare from LAX. Fortunately, I had earlier won enough frequent flyer miles from Delta so we can fly free into...

I'm not sure of the best place to post this, but since it affects everyone who uses Facebook, it probably should be highlighted somewhere. Facebook has given everyone and email address ([email protected]) and they've converted everyone's contact email to that address, an address most of us...

Several times today, I've tried to look something up on SA's Search page and each time, after entering my search terms and hitting the Search button, I get a blank page. I thought maybe I needed to log in first (though I don't recall needing to do that in the past), so I clicked on the Log In...

After winning $1,750 in Delta Airlines credits earlier today, I got a second phone call telling me I won $170 in gift cards to a local shopping center (from a radio contest, though not a call-in). I'll probably be able to use only about half of the gift cards, but maybe I can sell the rest...

I just got a call from Marriott Vacations (no, it was NOT a timeshare solicitation, for a change!). I won a second prize in their Ticket to Paradise contest -- 50,000 Delta SkyMiles (worth roughly $1,750). That brings my winnings so far this year to nearly $22,000.

We WON and still LOST. The contest for a free cruise on the Danube has ended and the sponsors (Brand G Travel at https://www.facebook.com/brandgvacations) have announced their winner. It wasn't us. We certainly won the voting handily (219 to 176, not including another 11 or so write-ins on our...

I just won another $1,000 from a national radio call in show (one of the Clear Channel promotions)! Earlier this week, I also won an artificial floral arrangement (Calla Lily Centerpiece) from Country Living magazine worth $99, a Buffalo Wild Wings gift card for $25, and an iPod Shuffle (value...
