Like many, I created an alternate email for sweeping due to all the spam, newsletters, required subscriptions etc. what search terms do you use to avoid missing prize notifications as not all sweeps collect phone numbers or addresses. Thanks!
I use gmail because it has a very good email search that searches both spam and good email. I've also used Yahoo email but sometimes good email
goes to the spam folder in yahoo email when it should not.
As far as keywords go I would try using any of the following
1. claim your prize
2. winner notification
3. winner selected
4. shipping info needed
5. prize winner
6. we need your info
*Sometimes the titles do not include any of these words. Good luck with your wins.
I search "congratulations", "congrats", "you won", "winner", and sometimes "sweepstakes". For a long time I was looking through every email, and I haven't had any wins that do not include one of those five.
I've got my Gmail inbox sorted into tabs for Primary, Social, Promotions and Updates (I think there's one more you can add if you want). Really helps to keep my new mail organized, and you can move senders from one tab to another if you want.
