Sweeps

Everytime I try to enter it never takes it. What am I doing wrong. I am just putting in the info.

@brcala Do you check the little box underneath the entry form that says that you agree with the terms of the sweepstakes and then hit submit? I was forgetting to check that disclaimer box and it wasn't letting me submit it. I recommend to try entering the sweepstakes on different electronic devices until it goes through and then sticking to that device in processing future entries.

What am I missing here?

It can depend what state you are in. My state cannot enter any sweepstakes unless the company has some kind of legal statement on file here . I'm in RI.

Go to the QVC homepage and type "Sweepstakes" in the search bar. It will bring up an entry form to win a daily prize (can't remember the time line, but it's a limited time). You will need to know the "word of the day" and, of course, enter daily.

Am so sorry I ever entered. Since I first entered I am getting so many potential spam phone calls from all over the country! They use a third party for entering the contest and I guess that puts your phone number out there! Not worth the prize.

@Catch71 I'm so sorry that you're getting an increased amount of spam calls due to entering. I get a lot of spam calls, so I can't really say if my entering once increased mine or not- but they are certainly very frustrating to receive. I absolutely despise spam callers- as soon as they start talking, I hang up on them when they say their fake names. They're awful, morally bankrupt people to do such a scam! I recommend for you to contact QVC's customer service by email and tell them that their sweepstakes is causing an increase in spam calls- they need to change their method of conducting the sweepstakes so that this doesn't happen to more people and they need to apologize to you. I hope that you spam calls from this lessen over time.

@Catch71 Are you sure the spam calls are the result of entering the Sweeps at the Q? I haven’t gotten spam calls in ages and I enter just about every QVC contest there is. And so does my husband. I don’t trust any other so called giveaways other than the Q’s.

I cannot prove it, I just noticed they started coming in like crazy after entering the sweeps contest. I don't usually enter contests anywhere so it seems suspicious to me.

Thank you. I cannot prove anything and it may have nothing to do with the contest. I'm just suspicious about putting my phone number out there and then the calls started. I use to get a spam call once in a while, but now it's everyday. Just a guess, may be totally unrelated. I don't even answer when my phone says potential spam.

@Catch71 - I am sorry you're receiving spam calls, but I haven't received a single spam call in months, so I would doubt the contest is the source. A far more likely catalyst is all the political campaigning going on across the country. Yuck.

I watched at 7,9 & 11 yesterday & never saw or heard the word of the day. Is it not done on Sunday? Actually, I haven't heard or seen it this evening.

I've been receiving a lot of spam emails right after entering the Sweeps.

Some information about people may be on the dark web and trigger spam emails, texts, or calls. Maybe your info isn't but Catch71's is.

Your info may be on the dark web. It's easy for that to happen. Just click on something by accident or a fake version of a legitimate site.

I recently added a reputable VPN to my devices and it's amazing how few spam messages and emails I now receive. The first thing it did was tell what was on the dark web so I blocked it. I clear my cookies, cache, and history every week so unknown sites/people can't track me.

My phone tells me when I receive a spam call. I don't answer and then I block that number. It took a while but I get very few spam calls now.

I investigated fraud for 20 years. There is no way I'll enter some contest by a third party, even if I trust the actual company. It's a good way for info to be misused or end up on the dark web.

It would seem that a company such as the Q, which brags they are watched in 100 million homes, could do better than offer $100 which goes back into their pocket.

The contest seems an embarresment. Silly game like we are children in elementary

school, waiting for the word of the day. Was hoping no one would enter and show the Q their customers deserve something better. Forget the childish games that

really offer their mass of millions nothing in return.
