Kina says
Ooo this is a great one!!!
Shari says
Would like to win a Best Buy card, but with my luck I might get a candy bar. Don’t like that it is only 1 prize per person. Winning a candy bar is not as good as winning a Best Buy card. 🙂
Liane says
This one seems to be running on the same username/password as the Hershey’s Almond Joys & Mounds sweeps, which currently is having troubles processing entries… I guess you can still text to enter while the site is having trouble?
meerkat1 says
Im excited love kitkats and bestbuy its a win win !!Goodluck sweepers !!
Kim C says
I entered through text and I was told I was an Instant Winnerl, it just didnt tell me what I won. Guess Ill have to be surprised!
Bree says
I did too … I think it may be a glitch because if you are in fact a winner, you are supposed to get a confirmation text (stating your prize):o(
Renee says
I texted but got “Sorry, you’re not an instant winner,” so I think you guys did win.
Tara M says
I just was told I was a winner and I submitted my info and it told me I would receive my prize in 4-6 weeks, but it never said what I won! Hopefully it’s a gift card 🙂
Janelle says
I got same message!!
Kelly says
I got the same messaqe as well.
Cynthia Sanders Hood says
I got the same message, too.
Emily says
Me too!
boudicca says
I think there is a problem w/Hershey’s servers as I am also receiving an error message “invalid username/password” message for at least a week now. I just tried texting, and received the following message “network not responding”.
Todd says
I’m also getting the invalid username/password when trying to enter. 🙁
Sue says
Same here, and this looks like a great IWG.
Heather says
AHHHH! Can’t enter because every username says “This username has already been used”
tanya says
heather, if you entered hersheys sweeps before, you are registered. I remembered entering dove a while ago, and used the same registration for this one, it worked.
Cathy S says
I entered by text and it said I won. It asked for my info, but I haven’t heard back as to what I won…hope it’s not a glitch 🙂
DTNRHI says
i got the same. it didnt say i had won though, it said “A for english B for Spanish” I replied A but it said “invalid entry, please enter your name address and zip code in xxxxx format” come on best buy gift card!
Lori says
The same thing happened to me. I replied A for English but it said it was invalid and asked for my address info and then it told me to follow a link to fill out my prize form but it didn’t say what I won.
J says
Lori I got the same message except my text referred me to a website which I cannot bring up. I read the rules if you don’t claim in 72 hours you forefit. lol I would like that gift card!
amber says
Same thing happened to me! I could not bring up the website. I asked someone to try to bring it up on their computer it came right up and asked for my mobile number, then said I would get my prize in 4-6 weeks.
kimber says
I’m having the same issue today. I entered my address via text then it told me to go to kitkatusa.young-america.com to fill out my address to redeem my prize. However, I can’t get website up, it doesn’t appear to be a good website.
Kelly says
I was able to pull up that website. Said my prize would be mailed in 4-6 weeks.
Teashell says
That’s what it said for me too; 4 to six weeks!
Dani says
Thank you for the link. I was able to pull up the site, and my prize should be here in a few weeks. Yeah!
Linda says
I also won and it said I would be receiving my prize in 4-6 weeks. Entered by text!
DTNRHI says
when i won on my cell phone it said to click a link and enter my info.
LaVonne says
For those who can’t log in on the website, I emailed them through the contact us option on the bottom of the page & told them it just gives an error message when I try to login. Maybe if they get more emails, they will get it fixed.
Tiffiny says
Won on this one! Can’t wait to see what it is!
tanya says
just won, but you know guys, most of us are going to be a kitkat candy bar winners… still, better than nada
danielle says
i won by texting but it didnt tell me what i won either, hopefully a gift card but i love kitkat so a candy bar will be good too. good luck everyone! thank you sweeties for the heads up!
Jennifer says
The very same thing happened to me via txt message. I have contacted them via email since the office closed hours ago. Hopefully we are not ignored and they honor our prizes.
meerkat1 says
Yeah won today !!
Teashell says
I won today too! I hope this not a glitch. Can we all have won a gift card? I hope so. Not just a coupon for a free KitKat. I love them but I would rather have a gift card. 🙂
roundfile says
I won on the website, and it said congratulation, you may be a winner!* Please check your email for more information. It has been 48 hours without an email, and it says I have to claim it withing 72 hours in the rules. has this happened to anyone else who played online?
Kathy says
Roudfile, yes, it also happened to me. I played online and won and never received any e-mail confirmation. I’m thinking that the 72 hours to claim your prize rule may just be for those that enter via text messaging. Hopefully we’ll hear something soon. Good luck to you. I hope you won big. 🙂
roundfile says
Thanks Kathy–I emailed them about the issue I had, and they got back to me today and said that I won a $50 Best buy gift card, and should receive it in 8 weeks. Good luck to you!!
sue ellen says
Just won so excited
Jamie Herda says
I won by text,and went to the website with no problem. It will be a surprise win,I guess!!!
Delano Jennings says
i got the message yesterday. i just hope its the not the kit kat bar, everything is would be great. especially the gift cards to best buy
Melissa Potocnik says
I just won!!! Now I just have to wait the 4-6 weeks to find out what it is I won!
Gem says
I won a few minutes ago via a text entry. I had the same experience as several others: Entered, got a text msg to reply “A for English…”; replied A and got a txt msg “Invalid Response…” and asked for name, adddress, zip; then referred to website and entered my cell phone number and entered my info there; 4-6 wks to receive my mystery win. I cannot even get to any part of the Hershey sites since I upgraded to Firefox v 4.0. Could enter either via text or online prior to that. Checked and this is a known and much-experienced problem with many users, but no fix yet. Anyone else having this problem with Firefox 4.0?
sue ellen says
check your emails just got an email wond 4th prize the candy bar
