Re: Your Sweepstakes Needs Help!

The Sweepstakes autofills for me.  I wonder if it's a way I've set up my computer.

I was going to come here to complain about this exact same thing. I appreciate the fact that the Q is having a contest, but if I end up entering later and later, to the point where I forget (or get annoyed and give up, altogether,) it isn't a terribly customer-friendly contest, now, is it? I've never seen a contest that actually keeps tabs on the TIME one enters, but rather, the DATE.  In fact, competitor websites actually pre-fill the fields once you've already entered the sweepstakes once, rather than having to go through the whole name, address, "I am not a robot" thingie every single time.  Whoever the Q has doing their computer work seems a bit behind the times.

 


@Suziqzee   I enter contests and sweepstakes for a full time hobby.

 

Many sweeps are set up on a 24 hour timer.... it is nothing new.

 

Most sweeps do not auto fill... you either have to auto fill it your self or fill it in each time.

 

The I am not a robot THING is being used on 95% of the sweepstakes on line out there.. so get used to it.

 

 The more annoying  it is for you and the less times you enter makes the odds better for those that persist and enter regardless of the challenges...

 

so I like the fact that people give up on entering... my odds are better for ME... this is coming  form a  sweepstakes enthusiast who loves a challenge and is in it to win it.... HAVE A NICE DAY! Smiley Happy

Hi @NickNack

Everything else autofills for me (whether I want it to or not!), just not the QVC sweeps.  Oh, well.

I agree.  Where is the autofill?  And why is it populating in that very odd scratchy-looking font?

"Auto-fill it yourself"  ??  Is that not a contradiction of terms??

It's good that you shared your strategy.  Maybe now more people will stay "in it to win it!"

 

Have a great day!

Re: Your Sweepstakes Needs Help!

Another annoying thing is that they randomly dispatch a pop-up on your screen to remind you to enter the sweeps.  This after I've already been on the site for about an hour and I'm trying to shop!  Then I thought maybe it pops up when your 24 hours are up and it's safe to enter again?  NO!  Try again later!  So why bother me with the pop-up reminder now???

 

The auto-fill is strange!  If I start typing an "S" it drops down a list of choices that includes everything I have ever searched for that starts with "S" along with a bunch of names that I have never heard of!  I can't remember any other forms I have filled out that have been quite this goofy.

@Annette72  The Submit button is right below the "I Am Not A Robot" button.
