Ooo this is a great one!!!
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. 🙂
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?
Im excited love kitkats and bestbuy its a win win !!Goodluck sweepers !!
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!
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(
I texted but got “Sorry, you’re not an instant winner,” so I think you guys did win.
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 🙂
I got same message!!
I got the same messaqe as well.
I got the same message, too.
Me too!
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”.
I’m also getting the invalid username/password when trying to enter. 🙁
Same here, and this looks like a great IWG.
AHHHH! Can’t enter because every username says “This username has already been used”
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.
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 🙂
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
I was able to pull up that website. Said my prize would be mailed in 4-6 weeks.
That’s what it said for me too; 4 to six weeks!
Thank you for the link. I was able to pull up the site, and my prize should be here in a few weeks. Yeah!
I also won and it said I would be receiving my prize in 4-6 weeks. Entered by text!
when i won on my cell phone it said to click a link and enter my info.
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.
Won on this one! Can’t wait to see what it is!
just won, but you know guys, most of us are going to be a kitkat candy bar winners… still, better than nada
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!
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.
Yeah won today !!
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. 🙂
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?
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. 🙂
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!!
Just won so excited
I won by text,and went to the website with no problem. It will be a surprise win,I guess!!!
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
I just won!!! Now I just have to wait the 4-6 weeks to find out what it is I won!
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?
check your emails just got an email wond 4th prize the candy bar
