I will be giving away 2 tickets for these attractions. They are good at Sea World Orlando, Sea World San Diego, Sea World San Antonio, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, or Busch Gardens Tampa. They are also good for Sesame Place in Langhorne, PA. Here are the rules: THESE TICKETS CAN NOT BE RESOLD. They are my employee tickets, and they get voided. Make sure you are paying attention there.  They are good any day until 12/31/07. DO NOT ENTER IF YOU CANNOT USE THEM. That is unfair to the peeps who can use them. They will also allow you to get free parking (10-12 dollar value) at the park. They can only be used once for one person, for a one -day admission. At Busch Gardens, you can also get 25% off anything inside the park, including stroller rental. Do not enter if you cannot abide by these rules.  These are great tickets. These parks are expensive! How To Enter: Post a comment (tip) about entering sweeps-snail mail or online sweeps. Needs to be an actual usable tip. One entry PER DAY. Each subsequent entry must contain a different tip. Do not copy someone else's tip. The winner will be selected by a random number choice, by my little son, TinyMoMo. (He is the little guy I used to get my screen name) That will be sometime in the evening on 7-31-07. I will mail tickets to the winner via first class mail with confirmation. Have at it!  |

This is awesome! We will be going to Orlando in September so the timing of this couldn't be better!
I try to enter instant sweeps at a different time every day.

My tip.......
Create folders in your bookmarks for each type of sweep you enter....Instant, Daily, Weekly and so forth. So that all you have to do in order to enter those sweeps is go to the folder in your bookmarks right click and select "open All in tabs" and all of the tabs will open with all your sweeps for the selected folder. Makes those instants and daily entries a breeze.

There are soooo many sweeps, try to enter only what you really want or can use to give to someone else to narrow it down some, but those you do choose to enter, enter every day you can. Someone has to win, it might as well be you!

Although I use MySweeps to enter my dailies, I keep a favorites folder of the one's with the bigger prizes or the ones I really, really want to win. That way, even if I'm busy that day, I can still get to the one's I want without going through all of mysweeps to find them. Oh.. and if an instant win has multiple entries a day, don't be afraid to enter a few times in a row. I won a year of netflix and a Nascar clock that way.

Remember to read the rules attached to a sweep. To win you must abide by the rules in place.

Enter sweeps in bunches. Don't try to do too much at once. You can just get burned out. I say no more than 1 hour at a time, but thats just what I do.

If at first you don't succeed, try and try again! Don't be discouraged if you haven't won anything. Keep trying! There is always tomorrow!

When entering snail mail sweeps always look for deals when it comes to postage, and envelopes. Try Ebay, amazon.com, or even magazines. Oprah's magazine from time to time has free post cards inside. Stockpile those odds and ends for those snail mail sweeps.

Sunday afternoons are one of the best times to enter instants. There are less people sweeping at that time so you have a better chance of hitting! (  Maybe not so much since I opened my big mouth!  ) |

I am going to Orlando in August have not been to Sea World in like 20 years.
Anyways heres my tip like every one else I created in my favorite folders a contests folder with a monthly and weekly inside of it. I keep all my dailies and instants together as I enter these on a daily basis. My tip is if you save you contests in this manner, enter the contest in a different order to mix up a bit. Don't always for from the top to the bottom or visa versa.
Maybe do 10 from the top and then 10 from the bottom then continue on. By doing this I won my 30GB Ipod as well as the 150.00 prize from Mickey's throw down.

Purchase a roll of "Forever" stamps for entering snail mail sweeps. This way, even if the postage rates go you won't pay any more than today's rate for postage stamps.

When you have a family you can get pretty involved in sweeping. So balance your time. I usually enter a few while my son eats breakfast, some while he is outside playing, some while hes over a friends home, and some while he sleeps at night. That way the people in your life don't get neglected due to your new obsession........I mean hobby. |

When entering sweeps that are 24 hours, keep track on a simple spreadsheet of the date and time you enter. This will also help you modify the times of day that you enter.

Here is another tip:
Try entering the sweeps if you are a night owl really late at night like 3am or so believe it or not many instants can be won this way as the times are random when the wins are going to occur.

Even though a lot of instant win sweeps don't consider a screen shot proof as a win. I still take screen shots and save them to a word document with the date and time of the win. I have disputed with a company for not honoring a win like this and even though they said a screen shot wasn't enough. Providing that additional information of date and time made the sponsor honor my win and send my prize right out with apologies and a little extra merchandise for the hassle.
It always pays to be prepared ahead of time.

If you enter sweeps for/with your kids, create separate email addresses for them. If your main ISP doesn't allow you to generate multiple IDs, use one of the free web-based email sites (hotmail, yahoo, lycos, gmail, etc...) to set up extra IDs. These mailboxes are for kid entries only since many of the kid contests ask for parents and kids emails and they need to be different.

Make it a family event. I have my parents save the "codes" or anything sweepstakes related off of the food products they buy. That way I am able to enter contests that I normally wouldn't have access to.
Come one SeaWord Tickets!!!!!!

Always have a place to keep those "Congratulations" notices sometimes when I am on a losing streak I just go back and look at all the things that I have won to give me a pick me up.

Share sweeps with friends, families and co-workers who have similar interests. As an example, I work with several people who love Disney so whenever I find a sweeps for a trip to Disney World, I send them link. Now they are doing the same and send me links when they find a sweep for a product/trip they know I may be interested in winning.

Don't be ashamed to pick up that bottle cap off of the ground. I carry a ziploc bag and hand sanitizer so that if I come across a cap I can always grab it and use it later. You never know that cap might be a winner for you.

Always carry 3x5 notecards in the event that you find a sweep at a store or mall and they have run out of entry forms. You can write down your information and drop it in the box. Or write down whatever information there is so that you can mail in your entry.

Always think of someone else that may benefit from a sweep. If the rules don't fit you. They may fit a friend or relative. So don't hesitate to forward a sweep along to someone who can benefit.

What a good tip! I never thought about doing this. Many times there will be a box for entry forms but nothing to write with or no more forms. I'll remember this one. Thanks! I always try to enter expiring soon sweeps every day during the last few days of the month the will expire because many people enter when a sweep is first listed. This works well especially if a potential winner is pulled from all entries received on a given day. The fewer who have entered gives you more of a chance to be picked! I hope this make sense! |

Always remember to carry your business cards, because sometimes restaurants or places like bagel places or even juice bars have there own little contests for a free lunch. So drop our card in the bowl and hope for the best. Nothing like free food.

I tend to win any sweeps where you actually have to write a tip or essay, i think less people take the time and your odds are better!
I live in Florida and am headed to Orlando in September so i hope I win!
