With UNLIMITED entries allowed, does that mean I can sit there for hours at a time just sending my info to [email protected] as many times as I can or does that mean I can just enter everyday? I never really understand the “unlimited” thing….
yeah apparently and they do send you a confirmation reply…get texting folks
I have not found a way of en-trying the HGT V,com Mortgage Sweepstakes.
I DONT SEE WHERE TO ENTER HGTV’S MORTGAGE CONTEST..
TELL ME HOW….
Why does the text response say to keep playing every Tuesday???
Oh, I would so LOVE to win this….. got 3 kids starting college soon. I’m broke. Praying hard for this one.
Now next week, march 7 thru march 13 is it [email protected] to email or stay with CASH??
You don’t need a code if you are entering by email, that is just for text entries
oh that part I understood about not needing a code for email, but do you change the email address is what i meant, other than that iwil just leave it at [email protected], Thank you!
I keep getting texts back saying starts Tuesday any ideas why
Earlier in the day on Mar 1st my text reply was saying “Thanks 4 ur entry…” after 1pm PST the reply is “HGTV Mortgage Madness starts Tuesday…” like they are not accepting entries anymore for this week. Kind of strange for a sweeps with no limit to number of entries. Note: I was not getting a reply to all my TXT entries, just some of them.
I wrote to HGTV to get their comments on the situation.
The HGTV rules I read said to use email [email protected]
And only 1x entry per day.
The rules I posted where their updated rules. They had a set of rules before these. Check out the new rules and you will see they say to send it to [email protected] http://hgtv.sndimg.com/HGTV/2012/02/29/MortgageMadnessSweepsRulesupdated.pdf
Right, early in the day it was saying thank you for your entry. Now it says starts Tuesday. I agree with John, if it’s unlimited, what gives? Also, they do not give a confirmation to your email submissions, so I am wondering, are they stopping these until Tuesday as well?
Aye aye
Very interested to hear if they respond to John!
Thanks Sweetie!
I DONT GET REPLY EMAIL
I just got an email back from scripps networks. They updated the SMS TXT msg autoreply. But they also appear to have changed the rules to read “If you have a text messaging capable device, send a text message with the word “hgtvmortgage” from your handset to 66789 (limit one (1) text message entry per valid phone number, per eligible person per day).”
But the autoreply to texting HGTVMORTGAGE to this shortcode does not mention the sweepstakes, so I would still text the original code words.
Also, I get autoreplies saying “Thanks 4 ur entry…” for more than one TXT a day. So it’s kind of fuzzy if they are accepting multiple entries per day or if their system will later limit the number of entries per person per day to one.
Here’s the entire reply I got back:
“Good afternoon!
We apologize for the confusion; the autoreply has been updated. Below, for your reference, is a link to the official rules.

Best regards, and good luck with the sweepstakes!

The rules they have on their site still say unlimited and it still goes to [email protected] – see the main page here http://www.hgtv.com/about-us/sweepstakes/index.html
“Only one (1) entry per person, per day (regardless of platform used) is permitted during the Promotion Period.”
You’re looking at the old rules. Look in the new rules – “There is no limit to the number of entries permitted during the Promotion Period” http://hgtv.sndimg.com/HGTV/2012/02/29/MortgageMadnessSweepsRulesupdated.pdf
WE COULD PAY OFF OUR MORTGAGE.WE HAVE NEVER BEEN MORTGAGE FREE..
I just sent a text with the new keyword for the week and got this message:
HGTV Mortgage Madness is closed 4 this week. Watch next Tuesday 4 another chance to win $50k to help pay off ur mortgage!
Did they change the rules again? I couldn’t find any other rules than what you had posted. Any help would be appreciated.
I got the same message. Does anyone know what this is happening?
Sorry. I meant to say: “WHY this is happening?”
The reason for your message “its closed for the week”. The game is held every Tuesday. You must first send your info to the hgtv email address they have provided, after you’ve submitted your info you are then able to text the specific weekly code unlimited during the game on Tuesdays from 8-12pm.
I know it was confusing at first, nonetheless best wishes to everyone.
I accidentally misspelled my email on last post. Updated it here.
so 3/7-3/13 the code word is HOME, not CASH & 3/14-3/20 is FIFTY & 3/21-3/27 is MONEY correct.
I got a message back saying it is closed 4 this week. Watch next Tuesday…….. I guess its only unlimited for 2 days.
I was able to enter home tuesday and wed morning and then got that same message and have been trying every hour since.
I watched the show March 7th ,the next day i went online to find out how to enter.I can’t find the right sites. Could you please e mail me how. The code that night was “HOME”
http://www.hgtv.com/about-us/sweepstakes/index.html
What gives? The rules posted at HGTV.com now show the sweepstakes running through April 3 and indicating there is no drawing on March 14 (tomorrow). Instead, the current entry period (with the code “HOME”) is shown as running through March 20 (that is, it runs from March 6-20, a TWO-WEEK period). Have they redone the rules in the middle of the Sweepstakes? Is that even legal? Or is this a screw-up in the posted rules, apparently made when they added the code word (HOME) for the past week?
forget all the confusion i just want to win
I DONT UNDERSTAND I TEXT AND IT SAYS GO TO FACEBOOK RIGHT NOW I WOULD BUT, WHATS FACEBOOK
Can anybody help me i text the word FIFTY today and the reply i got back said Code is invalid. Watch HGTV Mortage Madness Tuesday 4 the correct code. I thought the code was FIFTY until the 20th of March.
Where are the winners names listed?
