hmmm the first two days I played this, it worked ok – didn’t win, but the site worked. Tonight it’s different – have to log in with facebook (have an acount), but it told me “UnExpected Response : Please re-enter the characters exactly as shown in the image” – but it never gave me characters to type. Hope they fix that.
Same problem as Cynthia, now you have to log in with Facebook, hate sweepstakes where you have to use Facebook in order to enter. Never have any luck with Facebook sweepstakes. Ugh, why don’t they have an online option.
I won something today – don’t know what. They say they will send me a code in my email. Hope it is more than $10 because it costs lots to ship from Macys unless you order more than $99
If you do decide not to use, I would love to use it. I work on a ranch and trying to get money together to buy my daughter a few nice things for birthday and Christmas. My email is [email protected].. Thanks.. 🙂
I won something, but when I try to submit my info it looks like it’s loading but it takes me right back to the screen to submit my info… I hope I get my prize.
It must have gone through! I just got a $10 code 🙂
I just won a $10 code :)2:30pm.
I got a message I reached my Max limit prize, only I didnt get a winning message or anything… Is there something I can do about this or Do I just lose out oon a prize?
Same here!
They have actually changed this game three times now. The new login to Facebook isn’t working for me. 🙁
Just won a $10 code! WooHoo!
just won a $10 code!
I won a $10 code earlier today 🙂
Just won $10 code!
Just won a $10 code…
Won a 25.00 code!!!
I won something on Friday & didn’t know what it was. (I won the $25.00 code.)It hit my e-mail today(48 hours later) but with Friday’s date & time that I won. It seems that this site is uber glitchy! My two different computers handled how the e-mail was listed–one sorted the e-mail when it actually hit my in box this afternoon. But my other computer sorted by the time the e-mail was sent. So if you haven’t received your code yet check your spam and your older e-mail. It might be there. It comes from [email protected]
I hope that this helps anyone who has trouble locating their code.
I had a similar problem today. I won a prize, and it is obviously one of the larger ones because it told me to fill out a form online with my address,etc., but it wouldn’t let me enter the information. While I was trying to figure it out, the screen disappeared. I called the 800 number in the FAQs, but talked to three different people, none of which knew anything about the contest or how to help me. So now I have a win and no way to find out what it is or how to access it! Thanks for the email…I will try sending one and see if they can help me out!
Did any one else have to fill out a form after winning? And if so, how long did it take for them to email you? I won and got a form, filled it out and at the bottom it says Success. Did I win something big because I got the form or did every one get the form?
Same thing happened to me yesterday! It said I won and I filled out the form but when I hit submit it just said success @ the bottom of the page and the form was still showing. I did not get an email to confirm this….hoping it will be one of the bigger wins 🙂
I tried to enter again but says I’ve reached my limit.
I hope we both win a BIG prize!!! Have you heard anything?
Yes, the exact same thing! No, that was Saturday and I have not heard any thing.
7 days later and still haven’t heard anything, nothing went to spam either. Have you heard anything?
Nope nothing. And yes, I always check my spam 🙁 And if I go back to enter the contest again it tells me I have won.
Same here!
did you guys ever get anything?
No, did not receive the gift code. I sent an email twice but Macy’s never replied.
WOW. so i checked the FAQ for the contest and it said you could call customer service at 1-800-289-6229. so i called and the rep was very nice but said that there was no such promotion going on!!! i had to walk her through the website to show her it was a legit contest. macy’s really did not plan this out very well.
finally, she put me on hold to presumably talk to someone and then came back and took down my info and said they’d get back to me within 3 days (which is what the FAQ also said). let’s see how this goes. if you guys have some time on your hands, maybe you wanna give them a call. i was just going to let it go, but what if we won big dollar prizes?? i just had to call! 😀
same thing happened to me today to
Yes, guess i lost on whatever i won because nothing ever came. I even emailed and no reply. 🙁
Hello–
The exact same thing happened to me. I called Macy’s, and they said they would look into it and call me back within 48 hours….well, it has been a lot longer than that. I just sent an email at the eprize website. I hope we get some answers soon, especially since I want to purchase something from Macy’s! Please update if you have received any news yet. Thanks!
has any one heard any thing yet i havent
So, I posted earlier because the exact same thing happened. I ended up going to eprize website and filling out the comment form explaining what happened. After about a week, I received an email from them stating the following:
“Thanks for taking the time to contact us.
Unfortunately, we are not responsible for the technology for this
promotion and have passed your concern to the sponsor who is managing
customer service. A Macy’s representative will follow up with you
directly. Please allow seven (7) business days for a response. We
appreciate your understanding.
ePrize Customer Service”
I then received another email from Macys a few days later telling me I won the $10 prize.
When I called Macys before doing this, the customer service rep told me the exact same as Jenny said and never called back. If you haven’t heard yet, this is the way to go to find out what you won.
Good luck!
This contest was the worst I’ve entered. I have received better response from the $1 coupon I won on Era Stainkicker! I have emailed, called, etc., and no response and customer service doesn’t even recognize the contest. I am very disappointed. I know I won a prize, but will never know what it was…I even have the screen shot. Oh, well, we talk with our shopping or lack of!
I also filled out the form, but them the enter button wouldn’t work and the screen disappeared. The rules say that “If you are a potential winner of a Grand, First or Second Prize, you will be asked to provide your full name and address in order to claim the prize. If you have won a Third or Fourth Prize, you will receive your prize upon verification. ” Unfortunately, I have no idea what I won or how to claim the prize. Wondering, too, if others have any advice or a similar experience.
Yes! Finally able to play – needed to clean out the cache.
How did you clean out the cache? I hitting some bumps and bruises here and there also…
Try deleting cookies for just the Macy’s site. Here’s how http://sweetiessweeps.com/2009/03/how-to-fix-websites-that-wont-load-or.html
I just won $10.
ughhh I won too but as I was trying to fill out my info it disappeared, does anyone have an email address to contact them I’m afraid I lost out on my prize..
Make sure you are checking your spam mail for the email from Macy’s. My winning email was in there. I won $100.00 and it came with in 5 minutes of winning.
Always check your spam mail daily. I have found several winning emails in mine. GOOD LUCK everyone!
I go to the page via the link and I hit enter it says Invalid Entry. Anyone have any ideas??
Won a $10 code!
I also had to fill out the form. Received the email within 5 mins, it was $10 code
