RETIRED Marlboro Outwit the West Funny Farm

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 !

Awesome thank you. worship
My Pleasure !

I read your post from yesterday, about contacting this [email protected]. for being a "How lucky 'am I winner on Camel this morning' I'am not sure what I was suppose to write, other then; " I Won, now what do I have to do to "Claim ?
but it came out more like this, I hope I get a response....


I was told that I needed to contact someone at this E-mail address to confirm
"My Win' on Camel.com
I played the Hump-o-Glyphics on Camel.com on 02/03/2012 at about 9:15am and
got a screen that said Congratulations you won a $25.00 prize.. I clicked on the
"Redeem button' and a form popped-up for me to Register, in detail it asked for:

Name : ***** ***
Address: **** ***** ***** **
phone: *** *** ****
E-mail address: **************
password: *****

after entering that information, I got a screen saying this is your E-code
confirmation..... There was nothing there !
it did not say something would be sent to my E-Mail, or by USPS, or anything
else.

The rules on the Camel site are vague at best of the winning and specially
claiming of the $25.00 or $50.00 Virtual debit cards issued by Bank of
California. So How am I to claim this Prize ????

I called Camel right when I got that screen because it seemed strange to me. The lady I spoke said it is a known issue and to email [email protected] with the name of the game in the header. You then have to tell them the time and day you won along with your email and phone number. They are supposed to get back to you within 12-24 hours. I have been waiting 22 hours now. If I log into my Up2U Rewards page I can see my win (also shows under Camel Wins) but there is no e-gift card number yet.

daisypetal, I think your right about only being able to use the Virtual cards online... I thought I read the rules clearly... evidently not ! it reads;

Grand Prizes (13,000): Each Grand Prize winner will receive one (1) $50 MasterCard® Prepaid Code. Approximate Retail Value ("ARV"): $50 each. First Prizes (85,000): Each First Prize winner will receive one $25 MasterCard® Prepaid Code. ARV: $25 each. Prepaid Codes are subject to terms and conditions as set by the MasterCard issuer, First California Bank "" "and are only valid for use at certain online retailers ""

How Cheesy is that ? what happens if I would like to use the card to buy a pack of Camels, or to stop at a Burger king while I'am out and about to purchase a Whooper and frie with it.....

I guess they'll send some kind of notifcation either by Mail or E-mail to inform us of which "certain online retailers" we can spend it at, along with the E-code to activate it.

I shouldn't complain, aleast I won.. "but this just seems to be scrapping the bottom of the barrel to me.
I just had the same thing happen with the Visa Prepaid contest. Thought I'd won a regular Visa gift card but just received email from company handling contest and it is an e-gift card good for Amazon.com only! Huh They sent the code separate from the original winner notification.

Darn Jules, I was hoping u were gonna get a big win.
Did u have to get an ultrasound on ur kidneys? Just asking cause I had to get that and now I have to get a Cystoscopy ( where they actually look at your kidneys and bladder) because there was a trace of blood in my urine (I didn't see any) when I got my annual physical. Has anybody ever had a cystoscopy? The Dr. said it shouldn't hurt. It must not be serious because they're not doing it until Feb 20. Dang, I feel like I'm falling apart LOL.
On to round 2......let the new games beginBig Grin
Quote from bornblondeey :
a few years ago they found traces of blood in my routine urine and it was a kidney stone that they subsequently blasted out. not too bad. the pain with the stone or stones was worse.
Not having any pain thank goodness.Smilie

Quote from daisypetal :
you will have pressure for the scoping. Ask if you can take 800mg of motrin before having it done. why are they doing a scope? was the ultrasound inconclusive and now they want to see a close-up of the inside?
Thanks for the info. The ultrasound said "normal" and didn't see any kidney stones, but my Dr. said I had to see the Urologist anyway. He did another urine test and said I stll had the blood and he needed to do the cystoscopy to rule out other things that might not have shown up in the ultrasound. He said stones or "large" tumors would probably have shown up. I don't have any pain so I guess that's good so far. I will ask about taking the motrin before the test daisy. Thankswave

I am starting to really not like the customer support at Camel. The lady was like oh that is the wrong email address please call 1-888-999-8758. Well that number is awesome for checking your balance. Arrgghh. After looking at the Up2u Rewards page I know the email address of [email protected] is correct. I guess I will wait a little while and then call back and get a different Camel rep.

Oh and sence they asked them time, For Non Smokers) you smoke regular Full Flavor Cigarettes and you either use Soft or Box packs.
