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 !

Not a contest win, but it's good anyhow.

I have a tracphone from Walmart. Never had any issues with it.....until about Jan of this year. I bought a new airtime card and the minutes seemed to be disappearing way too fast for my normal usage......had to buy another one about 3 weeks ago and it's almost half gone...started limiting my phone calls, trying to check how many minutes when I started a call.

Really was confused on what was happening, had been discussing it with daughter.....Anyhow this morning, I looked at my minutes before I checked my voicemail, which took less than 2 minutes... I started with 700.?? and after I closed the phone I had 671.90 ....way off!!

I really didnt have any hope that Tracphone would admit there was a problem, but to make the story short, after a few emails back and forth, the girl did admit there was a problem and it had been corrected....They put 1400 minutes back on my phone.........I was really surprised, I thought maybe they'd give me some "Consolation" minutes to keep a customer happy but never expected the admission of a problem....

I thought geez, did I look at it wrong to begin with and almost didn't contact them.......glad I did......it wasn't anything mean, just questioned them on it........and it worked out.

Thank-you! You're due to see another win!



A Delco winner! Congrats. That is a hard one to win anything on and those throws come in handy.



Thank-you. Now, you need to post some wins!



WOW!!!!! Congrats!!



Aren't the GC's at Amazon ones for sale by individuals? Can you send a link for the GC's for sale that are for sale by Amazon directly? I have Amazon $'s that I would love to turn into a brick and mortar store GC.

Good Luck to all!
I tried to post a gift card I won and they wouldnt let me. Not sure of the rules but thought only they could sell them. At the top in the search bar just type in gift card and search for the kind you want. A couple people from here had them sent to their house so I know it can be don. Think DM was one of them

I have the Walmart ones sent to my house, but haven't tried to do that with Amazon. I just put them on my acct. and let them built up, and/or catch the free shipping for over $25.

Im running Ubuntu with Google Chrome and dual boot with windows 8 on my other hard drive so I cant print alot of coupons unless I switch my operating system over. Alot of troubles but some coupons like the Dove and the cat food ones will have the option to sen them to my house. Saves me from using my ink and paper! Got 3 coupons yesterday for the rise and shine cat food. $1.50 off 3 lb bag. Says on the sweeps you can print one everytime you enter and its an enter every day so every day I ask them to send me another one!! Storm Loves this stuff! This is the link they give me with the mail option http://bricks.coupons.com/Unsuppo...r=&pc=&tc=


If you shop at Amazon.com you can get gift cards to alot of stores and they can mail the card to your house. Gives you more of a choice as to where you can take it. You can even get a visa pre paid and use it anywhere
I just redeemed the problematic $25 Came llll from last week at Walmart. I will wait for the new $15 for a few days. At least it worked. Thanks.

Quote from 123veas :
OK, I just went in and did it. Ordered a gift card from Walmart to come to my house. Seemed to go through correctly. Says it's in process......so should be good unless within the next few hours I get another email saying there's a problem.
The $25 one from last week just went thru unless I get an email stating otherwise.

Big congrats! Is that a texting one?

Quote from darkzone :
I had this sweep on my radar since it was posted here but never played because I always forgot to purchase the new sandwich and take pic. Late Sunday nite I bought one took a pic and tweeted kept the msg short and sweet like "tried it loved it" plus the hashtags and forgot all about it 2 days later got a message.
Sorry, asked too soon. See now it is a Twitter. Do they have a facebook entry?
