I have entered sweeps for approximately 2 yrs and have noticed that they just keep getting more interesting and fun. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SWEEPS? I'd like to see how fun it really is by visiting the site!!!  My Favorite Sweeps: FabulousSavings.com (primarily because it is colorful, has many prizes, game is simple to understand, and fun to play) Hebrew National by Conagra (fun interactive game) MyCokeRewards (love entering codes and viewing what I could possibly win or earn in codes) Pepsi (generally same concept as Coke) |

Pepsi~ except the old school, new school sweep.  I usually do really well with pepsi promotions. Kraft~ I like that they give away money.. And I win..  Sweeps that dont make it really easy.. trivia and such. I loved the last couple of BOF sweeps. Oh, I wish they would hurry up and come out with a new shrek movie so their will be sweeps. Shrek loves me. |

this is a good question.
I used to love the Nestle Crunch Instant wins. I won sooo many free coupons. Loved that contest.
Loved the V8 splash one they had last summer.
Loved the Quaker ones. Especially the Superman one.
The turkey hill pinata game. won a free carton of ice tea, but, we also thought the game was fun!
I just recently got into the MyCokeRewards one. the prizes are awesome.

3mnkids1, I have to agree the Kraft and Nabisco sweeps are greatttttttt! There are many oportunities for many to win and they spread the wealth to many participates. I for one had won on the site a few times. I haven't won anything at Pepsi or Coke yet; I assume there are thousands that enter and I'm probably at a disadvantage in that regard. I like sweeps that are from reputable companies but yet are a bit undecteded to those who may not typically sweep. I LOVE MONEY SWEEPS TOO...... I just haven't won any yet. lol  |

Funny, you should mention V8. I just was checking today to see if there was a contest there - but there wasn't. I'm aware of the Quaker contests but don't recollect what it was. I like Turkey Hill too. I won a free product of choice from them too.  I noticed the Pinata Game (Turkey Hill) was a one time entry and didn't win this time around. OH - SHREK SHREK SHREK - was really great too. I just love when companies put on a great show through their websites. It really draws me in. Then I get diverted away from doing sweeps!!! I sometimes have my daughter look at sites with me, which interest her and all her friends too. For example: WONKA, CANDYSTAND, BABY BOTTLE CAP CANDY, etc. OH, I have to mention I enjoy entering these due to the following reasons: Herbal Essence - Great Graphics and Colors Reynold - GREATTTT Graphics, absolutely the BEST I've encountered! Glad - Unique Contests and well displayed, easy to understand HGTV - Large Potential Winds DISNEY - Anything regarding a Disney Vacation EBAY - GREAT PRIZE, although a bit difficult to understand how to enter at times. LOREAL KIDS - Beautifully displayed graphics and colors!!! KUDOS FOR YOUR REPLIES - THANKS!!!! |

Hmmm, I guess I would have to say all instant win games if they aren't too slow to enter.

Miki, Good Point Miki! I like entering IW that download fast and enter fast. I also like to be entertained to keep me interested throughout my sweeping ventures. |

Any sweep that loads quickly, doesn't require a code, doesn't require my phone number to be enter like this: (123) 456-7890, isn't flash, that doesn't require me to fill in every bit of my info EVERY time I play, has security codes I don't have to enter 20 times because it's practically impossible to tell what letters they are, that has a link to bypass the games they want me to play, those that you don't have to open 10 windows to get to the entry form or have to be a detective to find the entry form, sweeps that actually follow their own rules, for example, actually start and end on dates they have listed. Yeah, those are the type of sweeps I love. |

Bunny, It's obvious that you do several sweeps. lol Oh, there are a few that want you to sign up for their rewards program or something of that nature too. I even had one that wanted an electronic signature at one time (phone company).  Plus, I don't care to enter the monthly or weekly sweeps because I can't simply remember when the last time I entered was???? If anyone reads this can they possibly reply...... There are sweeps that indicate "email a friend and receive an extra entry or turn to win"......do you all share your email w/ one another to assist in this process or there isn't a so called "comfort" level w/ that here? I don't mind giving out mine if anyone is interested in returning the favor. I enter so many sweeps for my one email that it is filled w/ junk anyhow and I like to know about extra sweeps too. LET ME KNOW!!!! THANKS ALL!  Victoria Thanks For The GREATTTT INPUT! |

I love dvd sweeps, just because i love winning dvds, and learning about the up coming dvds. Except it also makes me spend money. Because if I don't win, I still want the dvd, and end up buying it. lol.
I love iws that give out lots of prizes, especially giftcards, those are my favorite.
I hate the iws that give out picture downloads or something. Especially if you can only win one thing. And you end up winning a download picture. Its silly.
I also don't like the ones that are heavy on graphics and stuff, it usually takes a long time to do.

Favorites.... - Anything I can click to skip and don't have to play a little game - Anything whose form can be filled in by RoboForm / AutoFill - Anything that doesn't email mail daily telling me I lost - Anything I win....  I also like the sweeps where you don't have to repetitively enter your information where you just have to signin to site and it has everything and sometimes even tells you which of their sweeps you've already entered. Ditto for just entering emails on 2nd++ days for the dailys. For the sweeps that give you an extra entry for an email address, I don't "spam" my friends. I use random emails from a site called www.mailinator.com which is practically setup just for that purpose. |

I like sweeps that don't require a verification code every time you play them! It seems like more and more sweeps are requiring a verification code just to enter. it becomes very time consuming, especially when you can't read the verification code and you have to reenter it 4 times before you can finally enter the contest!  |

Isn't that the absolute worse thing is when you can't read the verification code and constantly try? I can't understand what the thought process is of having a code that isn't clear enough to decipher. |

I use random emails from a site called www.mailinator.com which is practically setup just for that purpose. I just found out about the auto fill tool last week. It took me two years to finally realize there were easier ways of entering contests. I think my arm is in recovery from 2 years of manual entry. I admit I can type my name and associated information quickly though. |

Amy, Thanks for the information. I haven't used the TOOL feature yet. I'll have to check into that. This site is great. Is anyone aware of any charges or anything related to this site? I just can't believe it is free. It makes me happy. I'm nervous about using tools and some of the features and getting everything organized on a site only to find out that they intend on asking me to sign up 3 months later (when everything you have is organized on their site). I typically BOOKMARK and go through everything very quickly and simply. I then know I'm not going to get trapped into anything. ????? |

You don't have to worry ~ Ken is determined to keep the site free ~ lol! He is on here all the time ~ just look at the bottom and it comes up in red ~ admin ~ feel free to pm him with any questions or concerns yourself! He will actually answer your himself! He doesn't go for weeks or months without checking in on the site. He is a very hands on admin, and very approachable! I talked to him many times when I first joined thinking he was just another 'helpful member' ~lol! |

This site is awesome, and the people have always been great in answering any questions. I think if I had to pay for this site, I wouldn't be able to be on it anymore. But if you think about it, the prizes you win, usually add up to what other sites charge.
