What does "age of majority (sometimes abbreviated as AoM+) in your state or province" mean?
The age of majority is the threshold of adulthood as it is conceptualized in law. It is the chronological moment when children legally assume majority control over their persons and their actions and decisions, thereby terminating the legal control and legal responsibilities of their parents over and for them.
http://en.wikipedia.or
In most U.S. states, the age of majority is 18, except for Nebraska and Alabama (19), and Mississippi (21). The age of majority in American Samoa and Puerto Rico is 14.

Occasionally, a less than ethical sweep will get posted. You might end up finding unauthorized charges on your phone bill. This is called "cramming". Once you contact the company that's charging you, and you have requested your phone company remove the charge, you can file a complaint with the FCC.

My main sweeps email account now gets 100-300 or more emails a day now and it really makes it hard to go through and check for any possible winner emails.
I began using another email address to help alleviate that but the same thing is already happening.
Do you guys go through and "unsubscribe" from all the companies once the sweep is over?
Also was curious how many of you guys set up filters to help catch and highlight winner notifications and if so what keywords and such you use to do yours. I had one specifically set up for eprize but when trying to do a general filter for "congratulations" or "you are a winner" I still get way too many "spam" emails that happen to use those terms.
I just worry that with all the junk I have in my inbox daily I am possibly missing emails I need to respond to to get a win.
Thanks for any insight

new outlook allows you to have two inboxes also for aliases - it just all comes to one place ( inbox with your alias) - then you can have your real email the same place - so you can set up on the phone and monitor it through the day just by switching folders ( if you have smart phone ) - hope it helps you at least a little
We're happy to let you know that you're a winner in Macy's Scan for a Grand! Due to a technical issue, not all of the prizes were awarded so we conducted a second chance drawing. As a result, you have won a $100 Macy's E-Gift Card.
Before we send you your E-Gift Card, we need to collect you home address in order to comply with promotional laws which require a physical address for any prizes greater than $25. Please visit the web site below and respond within 10 days with an updated physical address. If you do not respond within 10 days, you will forfeit your prize.
I filled out the address the same day and I haven't heard anything. Should I try to contact them or just wait?
"Wanted to confirm receipt of my address blah blah" Good Luck!
Thanks!

Thanks so much MLx3!!!!
I've been busy busy with a new job and haven't been able to sweep like normal, just getting back into it!

Welcome back! Sending you lots of WIN BIG wishes!
p.s. If you get a tablet, like an iPad, might want to look into getting a keyboard/case (like a ZAGGfolio) if you're used to a traditional keyboard as opposed to a touch screen keyboard. Oh, and a cheap stylus sure helps too - screen doesn't get all goobered up with fingerprints.
Looking at the IPAD specifically, it can't use a lot of programs other tablets can. Itunes is a trap that apple sets to only sell their own software. I really would lose a lot more time with roboform.
IMO, you would be much better off getting a laptop. For the price of $500-700 (what a newer model IPAD runs) you can get a nice Dell with decent memory, processing, bigger screen, and full keyboard built in. Probably will have its on DVD drive. Guess what shop slickdeals hot deals for specs and you will even fidnd a deal on one.

I find I generally sweep 4-5 hours a day. I generally do 500-600 contests. This also includes cleaning out junk mail and checking up on wins that for whatever reason need checking up on.
Thanks Implode...I probably will lean towards a laptop. My old laptop is ancient, and I moved my desktop out of the living room. So I need something where I can enter during tv commercials when I'm just lounging around, and of course I need it to be roboform compatible.
