. . . . . . . . . . . but.

Why are these sweeps in my "expired sweeps". Neither one has expired.

From entry experience, I can assure you that it's a 24HR. sweep

I see NO sign of the Kelloggs - could you C&P the listing please, thanks :wave:
 
Amy,

Kelloggs:

http://www.kelloggsraisinbran.com/Promotions.aspx


The Kelloggs sweeps was listed for 2 or 3 weeks and then was moved to "expired sweeps"

The Redbox sweep was only listed for a day or two and then it also was moved to "expired sweeps"

Initially, there were problems with the Kelloggs sweep. Site wouldn't load, etc.

Thanks for you help.

PS: Here's a UPPC Code that works 388200
 
I'm so disappointed these were removed; I see they have been re-listed. Redbox was re-listed with the "old" added date so I never would have known it was still active, so thank you for posting this.

Kellogs was re-listed with today's' date.
 
Is this it?

I also saw your comment under the listing that you used Report Problem to have this changed to 24-Hour category. I also noticed that the entry form says, "*One entry every 24 hours."

Just mentioning it here, but I believe the editors list sweeps according to the Official Rules. Official Rules say, "Limit of one (1) entry (regardless of method of submission) per day, per person for the Promotion Period. A “Day” is defined as a consecutive twenty-four hour time period during the Promotion Period starting at 12:00:00 PM (ET) and ending at 11:59:59 AM (ET)."

I don't remember if this was a real 24-hour entry, but I guess we'll find out soon.

I've never removed the Kelloggs sweep from my "expired sweeps". I kept entering it from there on a daily basis. Believe me, it's a 24Hr. sweep - you'll get the "you've already entered" notice if you try to enter prior to 24Hrs. having elapsed, and it counts time to the second, not just to the minute.
 
Thanks, curmdgeon, for pointing out that it was moved to Expired, and that it is a 24-Hour sweep.

I've been too busy to keep us with my sweeps lately, so I didn't notice it was missing, and I didn't remember if it was 24-Hour. Sometimes I give up easily and skip the problem sweeps.

:cheers:

Right, but as arrtup3 noted, editors have to list by the rules - this is why I like PLUS, I get to put sweeps where I want them! :headbang:
 
There are usually three main reasons why a sweep would get moved to Expired when it is still running:

1) The sponsor relists it. In this case, it will show up as a new listing. If you don't see a missing sweep, try using the Search feature and looking for it.

2) The sponsor extends the original end date.

3) The sweep is reported multiple times as not working so we remove the listing.

Anyone who finds an expired sweep that is still running can let us know, as curmudgeon did, and we'll take a look at it and relist it if necessary.
