Got an email today informing me that per the one prize per household during promotion rule,I wouldn't be receiving my prize (earbuds won on 6-1) Kind of strange because all I ever won from them was a t-shirt in the second place drawing from the first promo,then the actual instant win for the earbuds on the second promo.Cicked on the questions link in my email and got popped over to Wrigley website ( where mine and sons emails suddenly no longer work on their Orbit promo)Think I'm done with anything Wrigley.They never answered my 2 emails about the Orbit promo now this BS? It would be different if I had done something wrong to get DQ'ed but can't for the life of me figure it out. This happen to anyone else, or am I the only lucky one?
 
ok, looking at my notes, it looks like this was listed twice:

BUT - they were the SAME sweeps. My note:

???*OVER* RESTARTED 5/18-6/27 *OVER* 4/7-5/1/11

So it seemed like 2 sweeps, when it was really one - maybe they extended it? :scratch:

So if you won from the 1st one, you weren't eligible for the second one - looks like we were supposed to remember for the 17 days it was not live? :scratch:
 
.First part was the voting then you're right it stopped.I assumed it was the second part but that you could still play because I got informed by email of my second chance drawing win.I assumed that drawing was held when sweeps was over.Most second chance drawings are held at the conclusion of a sweeps.Therefore I played again when it was relisted..this time it had questions..seemed like "new" sweep to me!How's I supposed to know it was all one big one with a vacation in between?? LOL!
 
Exactly!!! :crazytongue:

I thought *maybe* they had a rule like the Dr. Pepper one:

PRIZE LIMIT: Limit one prize (valued $600 or more) per person/household per 12 consecutive months from any promotion sponsored by Sponsor or any of its affiliates.

But I didn't find that - instead, I found that I'd wondered what was up when it restarted, hence my note. :)

I'd contact them again and explain what you just said, and that after the fact {like now} you understand they were the same sweeps, but as you noted, if that was so, being told you won the 2nd chance drawing made you think they were separate, gl!!! :sunny:
 
@ Amy... Whoa.. that is huge to put that from the rules.... SA should think about maybe adding that minor detail when listed the simple rules for us.... That is very scary to be DQ'ed because of that...
 
Oh, I popped off quite a few emails..one to prizelogic and another one to Wrigley, then to Wrigley corporate since the regular "what's your problem" website doesn't reply.I'm just glad that its only a pair of earbuds and not some super prize I'm being jacked out of.I guess this is a warning for all Wrigley sponsored sweeps, there are rules hidden in the rules.I'm not even going to chew their gum anymore..lol!

Champ, they {Wrigleys} DIDN'T say it was a continuation, that's why I wondered, but didn't KNOW when I went to bookmark the link and my old one popped up - that's why I noted it, JIC!


It's on them {Wrigleys} to be clear in their rules - SA editors can only list by what they {Wrigleys} say.

And ultimately, it's on US to double check - I became a rules maven after DH won and I was *almost* DQ'ed for not knowing it was a 1pphh IW so I kept playing - thankfully, they had it set up to notify me someone from my {home} address had already won, but it scared me straight, lol!!!

Don't take it personal :love:

There are sites that do their due dilgence to prevent cheating in response to the plethora of sites that promote ways to cheat - THEY {those sites/people} are the ones you should be angry at, and should mumble curses at when encountering those dang captcha codes!!! :crazytongue: :whistle: :laughing:

Try again - be courteous, but firm, and refernce their own rules and explain that you *couldn't* know you weren't allowed to play again!

gl :love:
