QVC contests

It is disappointing that for most of the contests shown on the blogs you must join pinterest, face book or instagram.

Isn't it enough to be a QVC memeber?

I agree!! If I wanted to be on those sites I'd join, but I shouldnt have to with all the bad news following facebook why would I want to join that.

Your so right. Of course there is the mail option they have but how do I know they are gonna even get it let alone do anything with it.

I dont want to use facebook or pintrest or instagram. I already give up enough of my privacy just being on the net.

They should make it available to all like you said. Hopefully they will read your suggestion!

@hennypenny Contests and sweepstakes are for marketing and bringing in more business. ....not thanking present customers. No, it is not enough to just be a QVC member.

They are are giving away prizes to make money.

@SeaMaidenGuess there is a whole world out there not going to win anything. They should say, "If you don't belong to all the social garbage today, don't bother"!! Don't use people for advertisement then.

Yes, and up above where it says View All Blogs, it should actually read View All Sweepstakes cause that's what it is. So boring and useless in my opinion. Once in awhile there is an interesting post from one of the host like the one a few weeks ago from Mary Beth. Otherwise, it's a bunch of cwap.

Totally agree. Been a QVC customer 20+ years and can't enter contests.

I agree one hundred percent. Over the years, I've spent thousands of dollars on QVC products. I believe I've earned the right to enter their contests--without having to also join Facebook.

@handygal2 Of course it is! It is marketing. No company runs a contest or sweepstakes without marketing and making money behind it. AND of course No one has to enter... you enter if you choose to. No one is forced to enter. Why do people complain about such things?

@SeaMaiden: Many of us are not fans of Facebook, Pinterest, or Instagram. Unfortunately, QVC doesn't take this into account. It's just a bad customer relations move, especially for long-time customers, and l think the Q will lose many of them b/c of this policy.

If you're a QVC customer, you should be able to enter a QVC contest or sweepstakes-- it's as simple as that, IMO.

@handygal2 What is your reasoning behind this statement other than what you think? Anyone who runs a contest or Sweepstakes can set the rules... and as long as they abide by them it is legal. Entering is totally based on reading the rules and abiding by those rules. If you do not like the rules or do not want to abide by those rules... then you do not enter. Plain and simple.

You act like QVC owes you something special... I just do not understand that thinking and who would not buy from QVC who buys all the time because of a sweepstakes rule they do not like? REALLY? Maybe you. But I doubt that many people are upset about this.

Actually it makes the odds better for winning. the more complicated the rules as fewer people like you will bother to enter! I like those kind of rules

@SeaMaiden: Just my opinion, and though yours is different, l respect yours as well. I like the fact that the powers-that-be can see all of our differing opinions here in Suggestion Box.
