I was just wondering the turn around time others have had on winning a prize from sweeping, even a small prize. :scratch:
Turn around time????
- Thread starter bethanyhalverson402
- Start date
Are you asking about how long it takes to get the prize?
If yes, it varies, but most will tell you in the rules. For IW's, they usually state 8-10 weeks from the END of the promotion.
Keep an eye on the COMMENTS under an IW to see if they vary - the CamelSnus.Com - Pleasure Switch Challenge does {I won 7/23 and got it on 8/15} and people are getting their wins from the Hasbro.com - Join the Jedi Contest & Sweepstakes already too.

Sorry I meant how long were you entering sweeps until you won a prize?
Ah I see bethanyhalverson402 - it took me 6 months of daily entering. :crazytongue:
But when the dam broke? WOWSA!!! I started winning 3 - 4 times a week, sometimes that much in a day! :laughing:

There is no right or wrong answer. The number entered for one person could be way to many for someone else. Concentrate on those sweeps that list a prize you want, need or could use. You'll find your own personal daily entry level.

Well, it varies. That first 6 months I practically lived online, entering anything and everything - that meant I fell into the whole "why can't I win, why do the same people always win" whine cycle :crazytongue:
Later, I figured out that not everyone posts their wins while some posted everything, so it just looked like they always won. :laughing:
Some swear by quantity, while others prefer quality, so each of us has to decide what's more important; our time, or winning anything to say we won.
I used to be about quantity, now I'm about quality, so how many I enter is just a number that changes all the time.
I focus more on getting in at least an entry - I've won an unlimited with just one entry, and I swear by:
The Sweeper's Credo:
Enter and forget it.
Always be happy for those who win - even when they win "your" prize - and be positive you will win.
Sweeping is a hobby that is all about timing. Especially for those elusive instants! IF you enter at the exact right moment, you will win.
If not? Sad to say you won't. But I assure you - it's nothing personal, and those who win a lot don't have any "secrets" - they are just consistent, persistent, and patient.
I really believe that if you go into it thinking you can't win, well, you'll MAKE yourself right so often you'll start believing it!!!
I truly do believe you have to have a positive attitude - don't get hung up on what others are doing - just focus on entering, then move on to something else - like posting so we can get to know you!!!
So hang in there - and enter, enter, enter - and you'll be posting a win before you know it!!! And remember - every day brings new opportunities to win!!!
