Just curious....How many

Of you remember when they had the lotto type balls that had numbers they had during the day on Q, and if your Q number matched (last 4 numbers), then you got a special deal for the day/hour........

I remember that vaguely. I'm not sure if I actually remember it or remember my mom telling me about it. She has watched longer than I have.

I will say they did a lot of fun things back in the day, and it is mostly about selling now, not really having as much fun.

I thought if the numbers drawn matched either the first four or last four numbers of your membership number, you won $10 Q cash. Maybe it was $25. I don't remember for sure. That was a long time ago.

I vaguely remember a special drawing once a month for a larger dollar amount.

Yes, you used to win, I think, $25 that was put into your account towards a future purchase if the number drawn matched either the first four or last four numbers of you account. They also had a wheel spinning game, where you got whatever amount came up, and you'd get $10 for your birthday. Not anymore - now it's all about a heavy-duty sales pitch and maximum profit, with no regard for customers. It's been years since I watched the Q, much less shopped here.

Didn't they also use to have a bingo like game, too? I seem to vaguely remember that.

I remember those, and I even won once. There was a blonde model named Rinska and she drew four of my numbers. I got a $10 credit.

Of course, you had to be watching, and then if your numbers were drawn you had to call in.

I do. I started with qvc over 20 years ago, I barely watch now, just look on the website.

Yes, I remember that the Q had several "games" that they'd break to several times a day. It was fun. I also remember looking forward to the Birthday credit, I'd use it every year. Now I'm "treated" to 5 or 6 Easypays for a birthday treat. Never use it.

I remember that! And I remember when you were chosen to be on air you were given $10 credit and when they had games to play. It was fun back in the day to sit and watch.

Now-a-days I only watch occasionally. The internet has made it so much easier to NOT have to sit and watch.

QVC used to be fun. I was not home a lot back then because of work, but it seems you had to call in fairly fast when the numbers came up. Someone mentioned Steve Bryant on these boards just recently and when he and some other hosts were on the Q, it seemed everything was fun back then.

I don't remember it, but I've seen it in old clips from time to time.

I think I watched HSN in the old days when I had babies and was stuck at home a lot. I remember some kind of wheel that they'd spin. I also remember a man salesman who would be there for clearance shows - bringing the price lower and lower and lower. If I remember correctly, you got the lowest price no matter when you placed your order. That's when clearance actually meant bargains. I remember lots and lots of sold out items.

I think it was HSN, but I don't remember for sure. You could only order the item while they were presenting it on air. I think QVC was different because you could order the item whether it was on air or not.
