Many major magazines run sweepstakes all of the time. Some run new giveaways every week while other post new ones each month. I don’t usually post the magazine sweepstakes too much on this site because they change so often and that makes it hard to keep up with.
So instead, I decided to start a thread on what magazines have ongoing sweepstakes for you to enter. If you know of a magazine that offers giveaways all of the time please leave a comment below and I will update this post. I will keep it linked on the sidebar with the Huggies and Pampers list.
Warning: When entering magazine sweepstakes you will want to watch out because they can be tricky and you will end up signing up for a subscription to that magazine. Some magazine sweepstakes will have a link on their main entry form that you need to click to bring up an alternative “no purchase necessary” entry form. It will look similar to this.

Each one of these magazines has from 10 to 100 sweepstakes going at any one time. You could literally just spend all of your “sweeping” time entering magazine sweepstakes. I am not sure how “winnable” they are because all magazine sweepstakes are posted on every sweepstakes site on the web, on sweeps email lists, and everyone who gets the magazine at their home or in a doctor’s office, library or other places sees the sweepstakes too. I have won from magazine sweepstakes and so have other readers so there is a chance that with all of the giveaways they offer you could still win too.

You posted a link for Parent’s magazine sweeps, but it is not the full list.
Here is a better link as well as Better Homes and Garden, which is the same group, so some of the sweeps are listed on both pages. Sweepers can choose which one they like.

I enter a few of these sweepstakes. I have never won anything from magazine sweepstakes and I have been trying for a long time. If I have time, I might enter a few but for me it has not been worth it.

Jennifer says
I wasn’t too sure about the magazine sweeps but yesterday I got an email saying I won a My Week With Marilyn pack from Harpers Bazaar.
Also, want to second what was said upthread about being careful about clicking the do not subscribe tab. I am working on having to cancel the 2nd subscription to a magazine I didn’t mean to order.
ibbi says

I was told I won a smartphone here over 6 weeks ago. I followed up with an inquiry 2 weeks ago. Haven’t seen my phone yet and no response to my inquiry. My email didn’t bounce back so I know they got it. Has anyone else had problems getting their prize at this site?
