Quote from snowgirl2242 :
Ya I do! So all of my trips except for the Aspen X Games were wins from radio station contests. I spend the majority of my sweeping time entering all of the bookmarked radio stations that are in New England and have had a lot of success.

The first I Heart Radio trip I won was surprising because it was a daily that I only entered once. I read the rules, saw it was a national multi-station contest and decided to not pursue it. I received a call from a DJ from the station so i'm pretty sure that station was selected as the "winning station" and it was a keyword contest so I don't think there were as many entries.

Hope that helps!
Sent about forty mail in entries over last two years, total waste of time and money. Most were for a popular charity donation site to win vip music experiences.

This second trip through I heart Radio was an essay daily contest. I made sure to write thoughtfully and then saved it in an email. I entered about nine times. MY guess is only a small number of people entered to begin with because there was a minor amount of work and thought needed and then most people only submitted once and forgot about it.

About 2 years ago won Coke Store Gift card for $25, tried to use ti today and it was invalid. Finally saw an item I wanted as Chiefs had commemorative Super Bowl World Champion bottle. After 15 mins of trying to ge website to work, then 15 mins with CSR---I'm in a 3 day wait for them to research the problem. WTF? Why can't these things ever work right.

Update: Despite it clearly saying gift Card in the email, apparently it was a discount and discounts expire.

Anyone know federal laws on gift card expiration? Could have sworn they are not legally allowed to expire anymore???

You reminded me I won a $60 "gift code" in September. According to the email, it expired in December. There isn't even anywhere to put a Coke store code on the website, only a discount code. There's mostly junk on the site anyway but I agree that it sucks to get a half assed prize.

My issue with Coke, is email says gift card specifically multiple times and not gift code. This lead me to believe it was in line with state laws and wouldn't expire. I love Coke products and have won some amazing prizes from them. But can't agree with them on this one. Reason I didn't redeem previously was with shipping shirts were over $25 I'd won. Thought the Chiefs bottle was the perfect compromise item

So...Thursday I got an autographed NFL jersey in the mail...never received a win notification and rules say it was the only one awarded. Then Friday, I was picking up breakfast for my husband and ended up being the 25th customer, so I won a coupon for a free burger. Now, I finally won 8,500 points on the Baja blast sweeps. Nice little streak considering I have just gotten back into sweeping and haven't been entering much.

You guys remined me of the $60 'gift code' I won from Coke in September. I missed that it was expiring in December, and I'm now bummed I didn't use it. I won a pre-paid mastercard from Coke in Nov and that one didn't expire. Would be nice if they were consistent.

Won a pair of tickets to see Carlos Santana this summer. Really grateful that the radio station gave them away way in advance so I can properly plan for it. Normally they give them away the same week. Also excited to win concert tickets for a group my Mom is passionate about! Looking forward to that experience with her!
