    Blog sweeps Facebook share

    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...

    You won! Oops, no you didn't

    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...

    Twitter sweepstakes

    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...

    ESPNShop $50 Gift card problem

    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...

    Snotty sponsor

    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

    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...

    My recent trip to Berlin, Germany

    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...

    Text expansion prog. for XP

    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...

    Hellmann's contest graphics problems

    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...

    Wrigley games

    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...

    Printable coupon wins

    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:

    Selling stuff

    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:

    Kraft contest AmEx debit card problems

    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...

    New wins in the mail

    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...

    Fate

    Do you believe in fate? Have you ever felt that certain things have happened in your life in order to give you an opportunity to do something? I'm not religious or anything, but certain things have happened that make me feel this way. I suppose it could be my own spin on things, as another...

    Sponsor newsletter hall of shame

    Which newsletters have you tried unsubscribing from with no success? In my case, I haven't been able to unsubscribe from the DVD Verdict, even though I made the request several times, and wrote to customer service. When I click on the unsubscribe link in the daily emails, the result screen...

    A lot of people are complaining about the high cost of food lately, but I personally haven't felt it much because I shop so carefully. I thought it would be a fun and informative thread if could pass along tips we have to save a buck. Here is an example of how I save on food: My local...
