My all time fav was the Dell Elf game at Christmas but right now I'm having lots of fun with the Travelling Tarot!

I like the Quick and Simple ones but I usually forget to check the "no" button for getting their email newsletter! LOL

One's I dislike: BMO ice skating one. Don't quite get the point of it

I dislike where you have to enter the security code like the Campbell's ones.

I dislike when I see prizes like "Carvel" or "calendar" prizes on Cosmo or Seventeen. Disappointing and never enter those! LOL I love seeing a cool phone, notebook computer or $1,000 shopping spree!

Love the Minute Maid and J Aveeno types where you can use the autoform and click enter!

I dislike when, after you enter a contest, you have to go delete their "thank you for entering" confirmation emails!

Ditto!..I hate the ones like the BMO that you pretty much Know you will never win LOL..
and those scurity codes drive me nuts!! ..I mess them up all the time and then I have to re-enter passwords again! AND I cant use Roboform .
I L O V E Instant wins..you Know right away if you have won a prize and I usually do quite well at them
My duaghter won a Carvel GC from Cosmo..our first and only win in almost a year of entries..And the closest store is 1100 miles away! not going to use That one in a hurry thats for sure.
I also like the smaller,less known contests that have smaller prizes because the odds are better.I have gotten some nice wins like a pair of pearl earrings just this week..
I have a problem with one of the instant win ones tho..
OSS http://www.offshoresuperseries.com/scratch/scratch.php.
Both Hubby and I "won" tickets awhile ago..But there has been NO word from them since..not even a winners page at the time.I wrote an email to them and got a terse reply..
"Hello Sir,Thank you for your interest in our event.
You will be contacted by one of our representatives for your tickets"..That was over a week ago and still nothing!

Damn I loved that contest - though I didn't win a thing on it (I think I was the only one - and I was the one posting it with all the instructions) - but lots of people won some cool stuff.

You know my fave had to be the Royale Bid to Win - even with all the problems I won some fab prizes for once - and became friends with a most fabulous chickie

Now I just want ONE good one - a trip to Italy or some cash to pay off my loans.

If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.

I hated the Royal contest, my Boyfriend didn't know I wasn't interested & bought 6 huge things of toilet paper. I had to dust my bathroom almost every day from all the lint, I bet I could still find fluff in places there should not be fluff.
I hate contests with flash sites where roboform doesn't work or ones with stupid games that take too long to load.

I hated the Royale one, timed things suck
instants are the best since you know right there you have won.
dailies PO me also, just do one freakin' entry and get it over with bang you are in on the contest. I do like ongoing monthlys.

My biggest whine lately is the contests that are now coming out with the no box numbers ,stupid some of us that is all we have when we live in a rural area. It's not my fault that your sponsor doesn't use Canada Post to deliver the prizes. that they use UPS
so quit discriminating

needs to win the lotto

I agree about the dailies..I mean I have HUNDREDS of entries for some of the long running wons..why bother? Let me enter and go on with my life LOL..
I didnt bother with the royale one either because in my small twon we often dont get things with PIN Etc until the contests are Looong Gone.

Oh and while we are on the subject of Peeves..
I HATE the ones that are clearly just to get your info..
They send you emails for the products within Minutes of entering even if you dont sign up for anything..
GM comes to mind..I have gotten More crap from them because I entered one of their "contests"..and yesterday I even got a Phone call from a GM salesman!! I CLEARLY stated that I am Not looking for car for at least a couple of years( he even mentioned this when he said I had "entered" online) so why bother me?
AND
I cant stand ones that have multiple entry pages..like the new sharpie ones..enter your age..next page..enter your email..next page enter your name.. and these are usually ones that you have to type manually..Grrrrrrrrr

Hated Royale Bid To Win I have 6 garbage bags full of TP and won nothing. No matter how many times I bid and different ways I tried it would never acept my bids and then by the time it did, time was up! I like the quick and easy instant wins. Won 2 different ones. Even though thats over 2 yrs. Hated the pizza pizza and movie network one! Won 1 pizza and 4 pops and had to fill out 18 pages of paperwork Gotta love th eones that just show up at your door without paperwork or fuss and muss. Campbells instant win great! NO paperwork at all!

Of all the things i've lost I miss my mind the most!!!

any movie ticket win
any time and i mean ANY time i went to see the show it was the worst movie in history and most people wouldnt go to it if you GAVE them free popcorn WITH the free passes@!!!!!!!

i hate the firewall one cus i have to take down my internet options to low (but i put em back up right away when i'm done)
the powerbar one has never worked for me after the first initial time grrrrrrrr

i hate one time contests as i tend to prob disqualify myself as there are just no real way to 'remember' the 1000+ single entries that are out there lol

i love the surprise wins in the mail

and i've got about 15 daily contests that are not going to hold the draw til 2007
sheshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
