Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

I posted the Rules to the Wiki, because some companies pull them off their site on the last day of entry, and then you can't reference them at draw date.

I also highlighted where you don't have to play the game - Burn Notice screwed a bunch of us when they required playing every game to be entered for the car, and then one week the game never worked. If I had known they were going to be so amateurish, I would have used the non-game entry from the start, but the idiots didn't let you switch back and forth between entry methods.
Oh, okay. Thanks for that then...after reading about your experience with Burn Notice, guess it makes sense to post all that stuff in the Wiki for a contest like that.

Looks good to me....links work fine.
FYI for the next one you post...you don't have to put all the rules, etc in the Wiki. Just put the highlights like: start& end date, eligibility (age etc.) links to entry & rules, and prizes in the post.
People can click on the links to enter & read the official rules.
I didnt put the rules in the wiki . I put a link to the rules and someone else posted them to the wiki. A lot of rules!!! EEK!EEK!

Bummer, I only got one of my Living Social orders. Oh well, already applied it to my Amazon account for future purchases.

Wasn't really expecting it to work. But they really did blow it, as there are people reporting getting dozens, while others that ordered two only got one. Seems to be totally random on how they weeded out multiples. They're getting a bad rep from that.
I only got one too. (ordered 2) Just happy that it finally went through & got it credited to my Amazon account.
There are still 2 $10 charges pending on my credit card. Will have to keep an eye on that & make sure 1 goes away.
Not too thrilled with the randomness of the multiple orders handling though.
Don't think I'll be doing any future business with Living Social.

It will be interesting to see what we get. Hopefully they'll at least put a note in with it noting it is from SantaClaw - I've gotten prizes before with no paperwork, then I had to try to figure out where the heck it came from.

OK, so SantaClaw isn't listed in the Contests forum - who wants to post it, so that people can note what prizes they finally get?

Well, I might do a tiny bit of business with them, but not much - I have 2 accounts with $5 Dealbucks credit to use up. Once that is gone, though, I'll probably ignore them, unless they get as big as Groupon.

And so far, no CC charge on the one I got. It'll probably show in the next few days, though.
