Sweeps Rating: Good (lots of prizes, and it takes extra work to get your entry so a much better chance of winning, but only one chance to play)
I’m a little confused. This doesn’t take the place of your real mailbox right? I’ll still get my regular mail?
Very cool sweeps!
Kinda confused too, I watched the video but still want to know about getting my mail? I don’t want to mess things up, will I still get all of my mail?
You don’t need to watch the video to enter the sweepstakes. You just put in your information and wait for your code to come in the mail. Then you go back on their site and enter your code.
There is NO place to put the code in. It will not even accept me as the user I signed up as…
Try going to the main page and log in at http://www.zumbox.com
I’m with Kathleen a little confused, what do they do open ur mail and scan it to you. Strange. What’s up with this?
I understand you don’t have to watch the video, I just watched it to see if it would help me understand better. Will we still get all of our mail the old fashioned way if we enter the sweeps?
According to the FAQs, nothing changes about your mail delivery. They just contact people that send you mail regularly and request digital versions of the paper documents and send them to your online account. You’ll still get the paper version but if you’re travelling or something gets lost in the mail, you can still access it.
Just received my code in the mail today and………..Winner!! 25.00 Gift card to Amazon.
i got my number today too but where the heck can you input it? R U reauired to download the software? Cause I refuse if that is the case. HELP
Ok, Judy. It’s super easy. At the bottom of the sheet that your code is on..are instructions on WHERE to input it. I had trouble at first, only because I was in such a hurry-LOL For the #1 instruction..SIGN IN!! That is what I forgot to do..then you will see where to input your number, which is shown in Instruction #2. Good luck to you!
I did do as you said and I do not get that 2nd page I get a page that has a mailbox. I am so frustrated. My son tried and he too got mad. You click the help and get a blank page. Can u go to the page again and cut and paste the link for me PLEASE I mean the 2nd page.
The paper tells you how to redeem your code. First you have to login though here https://www.zumbox.com/signIn
I did log in. I still do not get any page resembling the 2nd page photo. It gives me my mailbox page. Now I got my hubby involve and he can’t figure it out.
Hey I did not download there stuff. Is that why the 2nd page will not come up? Did u all download?
Judy-I did not download anything, either, so that is not it. My email is [email protected]. I can send you my copy/paste of page two, if you like…but keep in mind that my “I have a verification code” message is gone, cuz I already used it. Or, if you are desperate and trusting, I can enter it for you, but that would involve giving me your username and password…that is up to you. You would then have to change your password so that I would not have access to it anymore.My winning message stays in my mail (as would yours,if you win) so it never disappears. Let me know. I know it’s probably frustrating.jamie
This is annoying, I am right there with you Judy. I logged in and it shows that I’m logged in but my page is completely different. I do not have the 2nd page photo for a verification code……nothing is there for me to type it in!
Seriously, all it shows is the link for mail box, not the second picture for the contest. And top of the page does not have I have a verification code… I will play around and see if I can figure this out.
Judy, Did you ever get this straigthend out? I just got my code, signed in, and no verification code button. Its just a mailbox. The help center sucks too!
Never mind! Saw your post at the end, and it worked. Just didn’t win anything. Bummer.
Just sent away for mine. Can’t wait to see if I won anything. This Zumbox is neat as well. Kind of let’s you know your mail is coming before you get it.
WON A $10 STARBUCKS. MY CONFUSION IS….I still have 3 more envelopes on the page. can I open them or not….is it one per day? don’t want to screw up the prize i already won.
You can get 4 entries per household, one per person – total. You get more if you refer friends after you enter
You can open all the envelopes, it’s just boring stuff.
won a ten dollar starbucks card! 😀
won $50 GC
Won a $10 Starbucks gift card..Yeah…
I got my husband to look at it (he is a tech worker), it was REALLY weird. He ended up trying to verify the address and it said it was already verified. I think for some reason, Judy and I ended up missing out on this game. He put in his name and the same address, and it said they would me mailing a code. NOW the screen looks like it should with a spot to type in the verification code. However, it will NOT let me use the code for my name. So annoying.
I FIGURED IT OUT! Judy, did you sign up using Facebook originally? When you sign in to type in the verification code, use the Facebook link to sign in. It let me do it! Won a $10 Starbucks card.
Ummm,,,Judy figured it out, all right. I will let her post what she won:)
after finally figuring out how to contact them they figured it out for me. Seems I registered twice so it would not give me the page 2. She reminded me my password from the 1st registration and I then could get to the next page. Jamie was trying to help me from this board too. It has been hard and I can say that web site needs work. That being said I won a lap top!!! I just hope this is not a scam and I actually get this prize. Let me know if you all get yours.
Thanks all for the assist especially Jamie.
congratulations!
congrats! wohoo!
Won a $10 starbucks gift card last night! Thank you!
Yippy!! $10 Starbuck GC Thanks!!
$10 Starbucks card! Woo hoo!
won $10 starbucks ( well if you read the small print it says a code will be mailed to you..) with your referral link the other day… wow you should be doing well … I hope these guys are for real Wendy! they have some pretty hefty financial backing if they are giving away these kind of prizes!!
So all of us who won anything with your link, you also win the prizes right? thanks for the heads up!
I won a $50 amazon gift card. Has anyone else received their amazon code? How long does it take?
I don’t know, I won a $25 Amazon GC on the 18th but still hasn;t gone through.
I won again a 10 dollar starbucks. I do hope to see these prizes.
I won an Amazon GC on the 20th and got it today! Very excited! Thanks for telling us about this one Sweetie!
HOW DID YOU GET IT?
They sent me an email asking for more information, then posted it to my Zumbox inbox not too long after.
They asked me for my phone number to confirm and they told me to check my zumbox inbox for my amazon code but I think its been a week since I did it. Hopefully it’ll be there soon 🙂
thanks, I have yet to get any e-mail from them. I will check the site soon. Went yesterday but no changes noted.
So do they send an email confirming a friend’s win? Someone signed up using my referral link, and won a $10 starbucks card, but so far I haven’t gotten any notification.. Anyone have any ideas on this?
