 I understand a lot of frustrations about sweeps that are annoying... espeically when you can't win the darn things.

not thinking of any one in particular of course

 cheers

and we all get frustrated from time to time... yeah, I understand that. I'm not saying anyone should NOT complain.


but I am just amazed on another site where there OVER 30 pages of WHINING about funandfamily.com coupons.

It's been going on since page 3 or 4 about how the wins have been coupons from the Sunday paper. You saw it and still entered knowing what you would get.. and are complaining?????!!!!!!

Some folks are complaining time after time! I understand maybe the first time, but you win 10 more times in a contest that is OBVIOUSLY giving away this prize and you still have to complain, count up the coupons and complain how they are not $10-15.. and some are saying how they wrote complaints letters. I'm sure that will really make the sponsor feel good.  nono

I can really see why sponsors get so annoyed at sweepers.

If you don't like the prize, move on to the next one.

If you get something you didn't expect, be gracious. Sponsors are human too, and this economy is going in the toilet. Budgets are being slash. Think that your whining is NOT noticed and won't affect things? Think again.

But pages and pages of the same complaining and moaning women when it was OBVIOUS for months what they would get. Oy vey.  tongue2

I won it and was disappointed when we got the coupons but figured what the heck, it's free!!!!!!



I'm just trying to figure out the logic of it.  scratch

hmmm  scratch     laughing

I can see some of the gripes that people have. Like getting a broken prize in the mail. Or getting something totally different then what you were told you were winning.

But if someone has won a prize, and didn't like it, then kept entering it anyways. Thats kind of dumb. Do they think its magically going to change?

ITA!!!!  headbang

That $100 Best Buy gift card coupled with the hoodie, jacket, and 2 t-shirts was so unexpected and SO appreciated that I can't imagine whining about coupons!!  Hell, as much as I clean and bathe I can't imagine whining for that matter either!!

As much as I enter sweeps I don't pay attention to when they end.  I guess that's why I never get discouraged.  I just keep entering new sweeps everyday.  I don't expect to supplement an income and I don't expect to ever win anything.  

You are right!!  The economy is in the toilet.  I appreciated the deoderant I won earlier this month because I was able to couple it with 2 other free deoderants I had received and knew I didn't have to BUY deoderant.  It's really trivial but it all adds up.  Enough of those "add-ups" mean I can buy wonderful and special things for our kids and niece or simply spend it on gas LOL

Sponsors DO take notice I agree!  And if by chance they don't there's always another sweeper willing to alert a sponsor of your ungratefulness  laughing

I don't think I'll ever figure out the logic in it, gorgor.  While I haven't always been not guilty of greed, I have never been able to figure out why one would complain when they won something for free.

I have noticed that some sweepers have a sense of entitlement that just boggles my mind.  scratch  writing nasty letters, complaining, either in email to the sponsors or in forums makes us all look like a bunch of greedy cry babies.

I don't get that either!  I love to win just about anything.  If I'm not interested in it... I don't submit an entry.  The only way I'd "haggle" with a sponsor about a big win would probably be to see if I could pay something additional to get more options.  I don't think they'd have a problem with that!   sunny  I'm just so thankful I've found this "hobby".  I love it and am so appreciative to all the companies and SA that make this fun and exciting.   cheers  If it weren't for them I'd probably have a very clean house!  nono
