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 !

OK, Here's the scoop and ya know I am not good with short stories.

I got a plan. I called back to CLink, the 1st guy gave me higher prices than the girl this morning. So I asked him why, and he said unfortunately I can't get that price. So he sent me to the "retention" manager or something like that. Here's what I ended up with

$39.99 for up to 10 mbps.
Did take the 1 year contract, cause his was a 20$ difference in the price. And I will be able to keep this price after the 1 year IF I remember to call back in just before it's over. Otherwise it goes up to 59.99 a month.

We did talk the modem I just got the other day, it will NOT work for this.
I could buy my own or a one time charge and buy theirs. I would have liked to go buy my own, except if I don't buy theirs, they won't give me support,they would just refer me to the manufacturer.

So I have 1 time charge of 29.95 plus 14.95$ Shipping.

That's with getting rid of my regular home phone. It usually run about 34$ month , so only a difference of about $6 a month(plus the one time modem charge)

Thinking I didn't do too bad.........but won't be here till Thursday.
What do youns think?

you did good Stick Out Tongue

Ok...this is going to be a long post, so I apologize ahead of time. Just a rant here, about the Subway promo. I'm not one, normally, to mail in AMOEs, however I DID for this one. So far, the 'results' I've gotten show WHY I don't normally do any 'mail-ins'. The following (and, THIS is where it gets 'long') is what I posted on Subway's FB page yesterday AND sent to Subway's Customer Care department.

This has nothing to do with 'promotions vary from location to location' -- it has to do with store locations HAD codes (so, they ARE participating in the Subway Subprize Party promotion), but now -- ONLY 2 WEEKS INTO THE 7-WEEK PROMOTION -- have no codes left. One location that I go to has had no codes since last Thursday. The 2nd one that I frequent, is where I went today -- have NO cup codes any more (they did last week), and I purchased the last 2 bags of Blazin' Buffalo and Ranch Doritos, that had the codes. So now, neither of the Subway locations that I go to have ANY codes available for purchase. You keep quoting to everyone that "Codes are located on specially marked cups or chips at participating SUBWAY locations. We'll share a free code on Facebook and Twitter periodically during the promotion, so be sure to check back. You can also request a complementary code by mail by 10/1/12 without purchase..." YOU REALLY SHOULD STOP QUOTING THIS TO PEOPLE, AS MOST OF IT IS NOT TRUE. 1.) As stated above, no PARTICIPATING Subway, in my area, has cup or chip codes available, any longer; 2.) On 09/13/12, I notified you, here on FB, that I had not rececived any codes, in my email account, even though I had mailed the postal cards, 13 days earlier, via the AMOE. You advised me to contact helpdesk2.prizelogic.com, and they would be able to assist me. WRONG ANSWER! I contacted them on the 13th; on the 14th, they replied by quoting the Official Rules to me, specifically Rule #4, which has to do with the complementary codes. They advised me to "Please refer to the official rules for additional information regarding complimentary codes." I sent another email to them on 09/14/12, advising them that I understood, and had followed, the rules for the AMOE, to a tee, but still had not received any codes in my email account. They have yet to respond to me, and it has now been 16 days that I have been waiting to get the codes. Here's the thing: I frequent Subway one to two times per week, regardless if there is a promotion going on, or not -- I LOVE Subway. I will continue to go to Subway, once or twice a week, no matter if I can win prizes or not; however Subway SHOULD NOT be giving FALSE information to their customers / fan base. Sending out those postal cards was a waste of my money (32 cents per postcard), but more importantly, a waste of my time for which I, apparently, am not going to get any thing in return. Subway should either follow their own rules, and send the codes / furnish the franchises with more codes, or stop this promotion.

Any one want to guess at the response(s) that I got. Hint: I guarantee you that my breath is not held, nor is my hand under my butt.

Their response on their Facebook page: Hi Sandy, One of our representatives from PrizeLogic will be in touch shortly to help you out.

I just checked their rules. They have crossed out NY state from their list of eligibles.
