Looks like I won a $100 Amex gift card. I can't find a giveaway from Shaw flooring (on the letter) with this prize but yay! I'm kinda confused, the cards says 100 points and the balance is $100. Am i missing something here or does Amex always use a point system like that?? :scratch:
 
:sunny: I won that contest too. It works like money-points equals money-no problem. Congratulations!
 
:wave: Karen! CONGRATS!!! :headbang: :cheers: :headbang: :cheers: :headbang:

The rules are gone, but it's possible you won and either missed the congrats screen, or it told you you lost, when you didn't - those games don't matter since:

"It is annoying when these "wheel" games click over to a non-winning slot at the last moment, but it helps to remember that there really isn't any spinning wheel (it's a computer animation), and your winning or non-winning condition has already been predetermined at the time when you logged in. You don't win or lose because the wheel says so: the wheel says so because you've already won or lost. Instead of simulating a spinning wheel, the site could just display "yes" or "no" as soon as you log in, but apparently people like the razzle-dazzle."

OR, it's possible you were drawn as a 2nd chance winner, since the "winner" either wasn't eligible or failed to respond to the winning notice. That's how I won a laptop!!!

Either way, YAY for you, $100 is *always* a good win!!! :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

Karen, To answer your question the number of points on an AMEX = dollars. I don't know why AMEX refers to dollars as points. I guess they just want to sound different. Congrats! :headbang: :wave:
