A Win But Not Really

Been playing the little Homedics game daily. Usually get the baby with the mustache. This morning said You Won Enjoy Your Prize.

I really don't think my win was a win (JMHO)

20% off Homedics Air Cleaners with code CLEANAIR20 + free shipping.

Just a heads up, but don't plan to waste my time on that one agin.
 
I honestly don't know what businesses are thinking, a "coupon" for a % off is not a "prize"... it's a coupon for a sale. :(
 
The Burt's Bees on the spot "giveaway is almost the same. I finally got the flower. The prize? A sample of the dark spot remover...
 
I won a sample from one of the FB instants too. I forget which but it was a hair product sample. Does seem silly but I love freebees so I wont complain!
 
I never entered this one----some of the instant wins
have really good prizes, but looks like this one does not have
good prizes. They only want you to buy something.
 
snoopysnop1 - I asked them: Rules say (1) Instant Win prize per Facebook account or household - are the 20% off coupons considered a win? on their FB wall: https://www.facebook.com/homedics/timeline

But, I don't think it was a win either - the coupons are mentioned in the rules, but as I posted in the comments:

$199.99 x 25 = $4,999.75 so it's NOT a prize: "ARV of all Instant Win Prizes not to exceed, in the aggregate, $4,999.75."

Just to let you know that this is a real sweep.... on the 22nd I won one of the air cleaners, not the coupon. Good luck to all of you.
 
Glad you posted on this, have not entered myself, but good to know they are giving out prizes and not just coupons.
 
I got the coupon too, but I'd really like the air cleaner. Bad allergies! Congratulations on the coupon, though. Keep trying!
 
Keep playing - a coupon is NOT a win: HoMedics {posted in reply} If you won and received the coupon, you won a 20% off discount on a Brethe Air Cleaner, plus you can continue to enter daily for your chance to win a Brethe.
