I dont understand what to text. i tryed texting….. backstage didnt work…….can someone HELP
I downloaded scanlife on my iphone and scanned the icon above. It sent me to the Macy’s site to watch the videos. I won on my 5th vid.
Just won $25! Thanks!!
congrats!!!
I can’t scan the star from my phone for some reason, does anyone know the mobile url you are brought to?
need to url or the word my phone wont scan the thing.
Hey, the URL my phone brings me to when I scan the QR code is:
http://macys.delivr.com/1h6fv_qr
Hopefully that works for you!
Thanks. I made it clickable
Tried on my phone, then hubby’s. Finally won $25.00! WooHoo! Thank you Sweetie!
for those looking for the url when i finally got it to scan on my phone it showed the url as http://macys.delivr.com/1h6fv_qr hope this helps!
Try this http://macys.delivr.com/1h6fv_qr
That link doesn’t work. Looks like the links are only temporary as I got a similar one on my phone but with 1hff at the end, and I was able to navigate to it on another phone which had not scanned the code. But my 1hff link quit working after about 2 minutes so I think they’re designed to expire fairly quick. Best bet if you’re having trouble scanning is to get a codeword from one of the in-store displays; hopefully people start posting them soon.
Whoop! Whoop! Thanks “Sweetie” pie..lol.. I just won after my 4th video. 25.00 Macy’s “shoe” money for me.. I heart shoes. Haha.. Good luck everybody!
I have a smart phone but it doesn’t have flash. I am able to scan the barcode and get to the sight but I cannot watch the video
I’m wondering if that is my issue. I can scan it but when I click on the link, it says the video cannot be played. I thought my phone had flash, though. Frustrating!
I’m using an iPhone which doesn’t have flash. Not a problem for me. Maybe it’s something else…
I won $25 today
I won $25 also!
Unfortunately, Windows phones do not support Adobe Flash (needed to play the videos.) Bummer.
I won $25.00 last night. I wish this was a game that we can win more than once. I love shopping at our Macys here.
Won $50! thanks Sweetie!!
awesome!! congrats!
After a few days of playing, I won $25 today.. Thanks… my favorite store!
All these $25 winners and figures both me and the wife end up with $10. Oh well, still nice but would have loved $25 each. Good luck to those who haven’t won yet.
Won the $25 gift code today! Thanks!!
Thanks again Sweeties Sweeps! I won $25 this evening!
Just won a $25 about an hour ago. Yea!! Thanks Sweetie. Also, for anyone who wants to shop in store versus online (avoid shipping costs), you can order a gift card from the website and they will send it to you for free.
thanks for this info. It becomes a hassle to use the code in store. Manager has to get involved
THANKS! I’m doing this and then giving the card as a christmas gift!
Cool! Thanks!!!
I keep trying to order a gift card and it’s not going through. wonder if they stopped letting the codes be used for gift cards.
i ordered mine and never received it so i called macys today and they said there is no order and we are not allowed to to buy a giftcard with a giftcode so my order was cancelled but my code is still valid.
Thank you I just won $25.00!
Anyone know what the codes are to text for the people without smart phones?
Just won $25! Thanks Sweetie!
Whoo! Actually won a $25 gift card right now! nice!
Just won $25!
Won $25 this morning
Yippe!
Won $25!
I won 10.00 BUT hubby got $500.00!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woo Hoo
Congrats!!!!
Does anyone happen to have a KEYWORD? I don’t have a smartphone.
I used Fashion – and it worked.
Thank you, it took me to a link to view but my dumb phone won’t load it right.
Are the codes stackable?
You can use up to 3 codes in one transaction. You can also purchase a gift card so you do not have to use your code by November 4, 2012 as stated when you get the winning message.
you cannot use code to purchase gift card it shows that it is an order but it is canceled by the store i have tried several times to order one and they never complete the order.
I agree with you Samantha. My gift card order was cancelled as well.
The last Macy instant win game a few months ago, I used the codes to purchase a gift card with no problem. Not sure why you are not able to but I purchased 2 seperate ones.
Me too Valerie, no problem in March and April when both hubby and I won. I ordered 2 separate gift cards with no problem. This time when I called to ask why the order was cancelled they were not very nice. No worries though, I’ll make the drive to the store. Still love Macy’s!
just on $25 gc
Oh! Thank you God and to Sweetie
Just won a 25$!
You can’t buy a gift card anymore with a gift card e -card. I talked to the lady and she told me that, they also cancelled my order twice. I thought there was something wrong the first time. Goodluck everyone
I just found out the same thing. Too many people were getting gift cards, so they are no longer letting you get them now. I guess I will shop online since I don’t have one close to me anymore.
won 500.00 2nd try boom son
Won $10!! Wish it was $25 but still happy!!! Just getting back into entering sweeps today so this was a great start!!
girl friend won another 25.00 dont take these to the store unless you want to be called a scammer and have them call you a liar and wont check your code and dont even know about the sweeps even when u tell them the web site and what its called. they all say theres no way they text you a $500 code worst experience of my life and wasted a whole day of shopping,even brought up the rules on my phone and showed them after awhile they called security almost punched the lady
Don’t you hate that? It’s unbelievable how the store doesn’t inform their employees about these promotions…makes you feel like you are stealing or a scammer as you said..crazy
Well, I just figure it’s people being human and making mistakes. The cashier at our register mentioned them and at the end forget them because he got distracted. I just reminded him and I got my cards. If you go back with the receipt I bet they give them to you.
Won a $25 code this morning!
I won $25!
So can you only win once? I got a $10 code but I thought I could enter 24 times per day. Every time after that win it tells be “sorry you have already one.” Anyone know what to do?
one prize per person. You can play 24 times per day until you win.
won $25 to Macy’s, thank you!

I just won $25
I keep scanning and watching the video that pops up when I click the link. But then nothing else happens once the video is over. If I won, would something just pop up? Or am I missing a step somewhere? Do I need to click on something further to enter?
There is a link below the video that reads, Enter Sweepstakes, you click on to fill out the form.
I do not have a smart phone but I used my ipod touch to enter. It took forever to get the code to scan. I had to watch 7 videos but I won $25
