Jamie Herda says
Just a heads up-been doing this one for a while, and you can enter the sweeps part 5 times per day as well:)
Renee says
Jamie, have you won anything? Just wondering before I go buy these. Thank you.
Jamie Herda says
Nope! But I don’t buy the candy, either. I don’t sweep if I have to buy anything, that’s just my “motto”. You can email them for free codes. To obtain five (5) Codes, without a purchase, from November 17, 2011 to November 30, 2011, send an email to: [email protected].
Brian says
I decided to buy one for the heck of it – entered the code and got me a $10 itunes GC. They are pretty good too.
Amy says
I could be wrong, but I think the 5 per day is talking about the instant win.
Jamie Herda says
Nope, I use the code provided and enter the sweeps part 5 times per day.
Jamie Herda says
To add more, you enter the sweeps once, and then you have to “back out” and go in again,but you are allowed to enter the sweeps part 5 times a day as well. And no code is needed for the sweeps part, you just enter the captcha and hit enter!
Cynthia says
I’ve sent an e-mail requesting codes – came back as “undeliverable”. Tried it from another of my e-mail addresses and the same thing happened. Anyone else have this problem?

Sheila says
Yes, I also had the same message when trying to send an email to the one listed in the official rules. I even tried a couple of different ways after that in case the official rules had a typo, but so far no luck. I’m not sure why this came back but will keep trying today. Let me know if you get it to work, ok?

won the giftcard. 🙂 I figured less than a dollar for a box isn’t much more than a stamp
sara haaf says
omg, they had boxes for 3 for $2 at piggly wiggly so I got 9, and the first box I entered codes for I won the ipod!! I am going to send all the mikes and ikes in a big gallon bag to my bff, who loves them.

I got 5 today too,make sure you are not entering them where your email should go. Mine were all valid and I won an itunes card.
Lauren says
Make sure that after you paste the codes into the code box that there isnt any extra spaces after the last letter/number. The same thing happened to me and I noticed the space so I backspaced and viola it worked!
Maraina says
Thanks Lauren! The extra space was what the problem was.
