If everyone filed a BBB for running a fraudulent contest in which the amoe does not work, that may get there attention
posting on Face Book and Twitter gets noticed as well. I remember the Lipton/helping hands contest that went from horrible to really good when they let people order groceries, etc. from Amazon.

Quote from Chase75 :
There is something clearly wrong with this game. I haven't tried the AMOE today, but I was getting the exact same game piece every time I played since the start of the new game period. Almost impossible for that to happen normally and more likely due to the game malfunctioning. Stopped playing yesterday.
My wife has gotten the Grill every time the popup actually works

I've gotten 16 AMOE game pieces so far this phase, and each of them has been the Plate & Fork. Forking ridiculous.

LOL! But hey,at least you're getting game pieces! Since the new entry period started I've requested 2 AMOE game pieces per day and every single one has been a dud. The emails just show my pathetically empty game board.

For me, the game has been messed up since day two. I get the same piece every day and only once per day.

I emailed them about the problem last Friday from the bottom of the FAQ page. I got an automated response with a reference number immediately after and am still waiting for a return email.

I just got this email from HelloWorld.

"Thank you for reaching out regarding the Dr. Pepper Summer Sweepstakes. We sincerely apologize for any difficulty you have experienced.

Our records indicate that participants are receiving the same tile or the same couple of tiles multiple times in Phase Two of the sweepstakes. This is resulting in the misconception that participants are not receiving any tile piece for the alternate method of entry or the uploaded receipt method of entry. Please note that the tiles provided for each entry are randomly generated each time you process an entry and you are receiving a piece for every entry.

If you are not receiving the emails for entries, please check you junk, spam, or promotion email folders for them. Emails are being sent from [email protected] so be sure to add this to your list of acceptable addresses to receive emails from. We also suggest clearing your cache/cookies before entering the site to avoid receiving invalid errors when requesting a piece or uploading your receipt.

We will continue to look into this further. We appreciate your patience while we continue to actively investigate."

If I am getting the same piece over and over, how will I ever have a chance to win? They are saying that getting the same piece is OK as you are getting an entry. HELLO, your contest is not working right, fix it. What a crock of BS.

I got the exact same response (or non-response). The only misconception is on their part, that the game is functioning properly. Maybe if more people write in, they will finally realize things are amiss.

I just emailed them also. Chose eligibility as the topic, since none of the topics offered fit!
I told them there are/have been 2 issues:
#1. Receiving the same game piece on 1 game play daily and #2.NOT even receiving a game piece on 1 of the 2 allowed game plays daily.

I also told them this was by the AMOE method, asked if the game was rigged, and asked they NOT respond with a canned answer.

Lastly I told them many ppl on social sites had the same complaints and that being their company is running the sweeps, they are responsible for investigating the situation.

I'll let you know what response I receive.......and agree everyone needs to flood their inbox with complaints letting them know ppl are communicating with others so they can no longer just act as if all is fine in "their hello world"! shake head
