wonder if the entries are carried over to each contest period. and wonder when the grand prize draws are?
Posted by: seadog on March 31, 2026
|
No carry over that I can see in the rules. The secondary prizes are drawn at two per day. The grand prizes are awarded at a rate of about every 3 weeks.
Grand prize periods start 1200 AM ET

I'll say one thing: They're fast! I have already received my PIN from this morning.

Please retain the original PIN code for your records.
Posted by: seadog on March 31, 2026

I wonder f this is one per IP? My hubby sent in an essay, but never got a code
Posted by: scorpio on March 31, 2026
|
same for me scorpio. maybe it will come after the 24 hr. clock turns,. or I suppose we will have a discussion on how or who gets this one lol.
Posted by: seadog on March 31, 2026
|
just got hubbys pin
Posted by: seadog on March 31, 2026
|
but...when he went to enter it said "you have already participated today"
Posted by: seadog on March 31, 2026
|
It is for sure by IP - my husband cannot submit his code - we've tried incognito and various phones.
Posted by: suzysays on March 31, 2026
|
I m getting the same error saying PIN code has been used and it was my first time entering at all.
Posted by: sassy2424 on March 31, 2026
|
Hubby and I will alternate, but still share the prize
Posted by: seadog on April 1, 2026
|
same here seadog, hubby and I are going to alternate as well :)
Posted by: scorpio on April 1, 2026

Can we request a new code every day?
Posted by: Mimi2024 on April 1, 2026
|
yes i have submitted a request each day and received both code but if sending in email for pin code you must have a different answer each time
Posted by: jiidii on April 1, 2026
|
The rules do not actually specify how often you can obtain a PIN. Obviously they would like you to buy 100 pizzas at one time, but you can only enter the PINs at a rate of one per day. Similarly, there are no specs on how often to AMOE a PIN by email, but their may be internal controls on the rate of submission. Safest is probably one AMOE email per day.
Posted by: 123ABC on April 1, 2026
|
Is it ok to send the same original essay every day for the AMOE option.
Posted by: Contestsweep11 on April 2, 2026
|
my Hubby sent two pin reqests yesterday, and he was sent two pins. He did use a different essay each time
Posted by: scorpio on April 2, 2026
|
"You have already participated today." never resets if you used a AMOE PIN. It's been 3 days I can't enter. Clearly they don't want anyone entering without purchase.

Since they say pin will be sent within 1 business day , not sure if we will receive on weekends or holiday.
Posted by: seadog on April 3, 2026
|
Thought we would have a daily winner here by now
Posted by: seadog on April 3, 2026
|
they must be getting overwhelmed with pin requests -
Thank you for your email. Please allow 1 business day for a response.
Merci pour votre courriel. Veuillez pr voir un d lai d un jour ouvrable pour une r ponse.

scorpio or maybe they have no one to administer on weekends so pins won't be sent til Monday just a thought
Posted by: jiidii on April 4, 2026
|
As I suspected, received my code this am.
Posted by: seadog on April 6, 2026
|
I have been entering daily by submitting essays to obtain PINs . I am very pleased that I received an email to notify me that I have won a grocery card tor $250!
Posted by: centralia on April 9, 2026
|
Wow, centralia!! That's terrific! Congrats.
Posted by: nancerelli on April 10, 2026
|
That s great! I thought it was an instant win, so there s still hope
Posted by: seadog on April 10, 2026
|
Thanks. FYI - I don't think they send out PINs on the weekend, but they do reply well during the week.
Posted by: centralia on April 10, 2026
|
You'll know immediately if your code made you one of our lucky winners and what you won. If not, you can come back the next day and try your luck again with another code.
I guess this is what I was thinking.
Posted by: seadog on April 10, 2026
|
I'm not sure if I missed something when I entered, but I didn't know about the win until I received the email.
Posted by: centralia on April 10, 2026
|
Again, it gives hope. I thought we would have heard of many winners, two per day. Enjoy spending it!
Posted by: seadog on April 11, 2026
|
Thx seadog.
Posted by: centralia on April 11, 2026

I send in an essay each day, yet I have only received 3 codes since March 31. Is anyone else having this challenge?
Posted by: arcticvixen on April 12, 2026
|
I've only received two (well my husband one and me one) - I have no idea what I'm doing wrong
Posted by: suzysays on April 12, 2026
|
When I email an essay, I get a reply, and so does my husband.
Have you included ALL the info they request? How long is your 'essay'? I use Word to make mine and it tells me the word count.
Posted by: nancerelli on April 12, 2026
|
Only got one code, sent 3 emails with unique essays each day.
Posted by: Parallel on April 13, 2026

DId not receive a PIN from my essay I sent on Saturday. Sent another email today and it was returned as undeliverable. Resent it and same thing. Anybody else experiencing this issue?
Posted by: pebbles on April 14, 2026

I get multiple codes on the Monday for entries sent over the weekend.
Posted by: Contestsweep11 on April 15, 2026
|
Entry site seems to be down right now.
Posted by: Bdekoker on April 15, 2026

working again
Posted by: scorpio on April 15, 2026
|
the pin they sent me didn't work and i have contacted them
Posted by: Antiquer on April 23, 2026
|
I usually send in 2 emails at a time. But I am noticing that they will only respond to one email per day now. It was nice to have a couple of pins on hand, too bad they changed that
Posted by: scorpio on April 23, 2026
|
yes same
Posted by: Parallel on April 23, 2026
|
They were kind enough to resend another pin because the first one did not work.
Posted by: Antiquer on April 24, 2026
|
Anyone get codes that have already been used ? Happens at least once or twice a week...
Posted by: pierre35 on May 3, 2026
|
not my experience
Posted by: seadog on May 3, 2026
|
Oh wow!
You are the potential winner of one $250 grocery gift card!
Posted by: nancerelli on May 7, 2026

congrats!! nancerelli
Posted by: sheilaz on May 7, 2026

Congrats nancerelli
Posted by: Chocolate on May 7, 2026
|
Congrats! I received the card that I won in the mail yesterday.
Posted by: centralia on May 7, 2026
|
I've also noticed that the codes I try to enter say that the code is not correct or has already been used, even though I cut and past the code and know that it is the first time I entered it.
Posted by: Kerrismom on May 10, 2026

Will not accept my first name. Says respect the pattern.
Posted by: Chocolate on June 4, 2026

I received a "250$" grocery gift card .... with 0$ on it. Completely empty. :-( Will try to sort this out, with little faith in the outcome. Anyone else?
Posted by: OmarBongo on June 5, 2026
|
:-) Great! Now the card is loaded as expected! I don't know if they reacted to my inquiry (without replying) or if they just activate the cards on Mondays... whatever, it's all fine now, awesome!
Posted by: OmarBongo on June 8, 2026
|
and they replied a bit later, kudos on them for the willingness and speed of reaction! (Issue on the card emitter, President Choice, so maybe others will have the same problem)
Posted by: OmarBongo on June 8, 2026
|
Yay, I also got the winning message that I'm a potential $250 grocery card winner! Looks like a few Contest Girl'ers have won. I'll await the email, fingers crossed.

I haven't received a daily email code since last Tuesday, so far I'm 5 days without being able to enter :(
Posted by: scorpio on June 14, 2026

I m so tired writing these essays, I haven t entered for days.
