Your Sweepstakes Needs Help!

Very mixed messages. Yesterday I entered and then received an email later reminding me to enter. Today I tried to enter and received a message that I had already entered today - which I had not. Just now tried to enter again and received a message that I had already entered. Messed up.

I think you can enter every 24 hours. I tried to enter this morning & it said I'd already entered in the last 24 hours. So I waited a couple hours & was able to enter around 10am. So now I just have to remember to wait until after 10am to enter tomorrow.

Good to know. I'll try after 12 noon.

It would be much simpler if the contest day ran from midnight to midnight. How difficult is that? The 24-hour clock just means that you have to enter later and later each day, unless you set an alarm as a reminder. Not good.

It definitely would be simpler that way. I started entering the contest at 8 a.m. Today I had to enter at 6 p.m. Soon it will end up being so late that I'll end up skipping a day and starting again in the morning. It seems to take a little over 24 hours before you can enter again.

As for this website......it is a broken mess. As for the sweepstakes I enter the same time every day and it works just fine.

I entered at 6:00 pm yesterday and tried twice since 6 and can't get in... it's now ten to 7 pm. This has been remarkably frustrating...d..

I've had problems with sweeps entries, too. Frustration taken the fun out of it. Sigh.

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.
