Political products should not be on this site or political ads. It's sad to see this site going in that direction. I will not purchase any products as long as I see products that appear to endorse any political candidate especially Donald Trump.

Spam spam spam spam
January 17, 2020

Understanding that pch is advertised as a lottery having a slim to zero chance of winning, i gave it a try anyway.
WOW - has my phone been blown up with spam texts and email.
Keep in mind that everything you sign up for, you will eventually have to unsubscribe from if you want it to stop. & sometime unsubscribing DOES NOT WORK!

Playing over 30 years
December 24, 2023

Its either racist, or search engine scam, started when I was 19 years old I am now 59 years old. I truly believe this is some kind of scam, magazine, search or the company is racist

Waste of time
February 12, 2019

I hate listening to the same ads over and over. Plus what is being hawked has no interest to me. The items they offer are way over priced and then they charge outrageous shipping Also they are pushing the same cram over and over.

I have now stop looking at PCH email in order to win the big money, I knew when they send me the map of how they were going to get to my house on 11/21/2014 it was a scam, the flower shop mentioned has not been in business for the last 15years or more and it would be hard to get flowers at the Veterans' Office. Shame on you PCH for giving people false hope. I will no longer respond to any king of sweepstake

The lids do not fit!
November 4, 2022

The 3 stainless mixing bowls are very small, which isn't what I wanted but I could live with that. I can't live with the fact that the lids DO NOT FIT. The lids were why I bought this product. It is truly inferior.

I think it stinks
October 17, 2009

I think it stinks. They send out mailings to say you are going to win prizes and money. Then you get a post card saying to log on to the site enter a code on the card to see what prizes we are are eligible for. When you log on the site a screen comes up there is no such site. I've got their damn post card in front of me. WHAT A SCAM THIS IS! I've entered for over 30 years and see now why I never won anything except magagzine payment when I did order.

The Game is Rigged!
December 1, 2020

After reaching the Yellow Diamond Level I had the wheel spin stop on the $ 900.00 Cash prize. Seconds later
The box disappeared & it said I won ******* tokens. I called them & after told them what happen & they told me
On their end it said I won 25k tokens, Dah? Well sure. Did you take a screen shot they ask, who's prepared for that? It only stays on for seconds. So 2 supervisors called me back over the next 3 days saying they looked into it & their software says I won 25k tokens, same nonsense. Don't waste your time with these swindlers &
Scam artist & liars. These games aren't run by chance they are rigged.

It is a joke
May 9, 2020

Email after email after email. Game after game. Points after points. Rewards after rewards. Got nothings cant win anything cant get anything with the rewards points even after using 100 of thousand points. PCH thinks that this is all a person has to do. I lost all hope with this farce.

Even if you are born on this date, live in this city and have these initials, you can't win. PCH never publishes the winner in the city, birthdate, or the person with the initials. I wonder if there is anyone with the initials XYZ, that has received the email, and has won. The odds would be astromical for them not to win.

You sign up for a sweepstake, and you get bombarded with multiple emails a day... and links to purchase things from unreputable sights and the information you supply is NOT protected. I received a scam phone call from a 876 area code saying i won. Fortunately I am smart enough to know that this was not really PCH. I truelly do not believe anyone ever really wins. I think the people shown as winners are paid actors. And the PCH is nothing more than a marketing plan that prays on the people hopes. You have a better chance of winning the lottery than PCH... at least with the lottery, you wont get bombarded with stupid games and emails.

Site doesn't function well - many times the game freezes & you lose everything. Happens a lot on the "10x tokens" games. I've played zillions of hours & never won anything. Nothing. Watched ******* ads. Msgames games are better done. PCH doesn't even let members communicate. It has this "level up" trick that makes you think you'll get something, but you get nothing. Very hard to reach them & get answers.

I've played PCH games even before the internet. Actually when they first begun, mailing their games etc. to our homes. Which are more years then I care to admit. Never won a dime, nothing. The paper clutter was overwhelming. It became 'junk mail'. I swore I wouldn't do I again. But, I got caught up in it again online because of games. Now@ 7 figure tokens. I'm noticing the slower pace in the amount of winning tokens per game. I guestion why that seem to happen soon as I reached that 7 figure. I really wonder how long it took others to reach a 9 figure sum. I shrudder to think the hours it took! And not win a dime! Maybe $10.00 for all those times spent. Frustrating.

It seems to me the daily emails I've been getting since I first entered the $5,000/week Sweepstakes, are basically "gimmicks" to get you to keep visiting their site. The emails are worded deceivingly to get you to think you need to re-enter the Sweepstakes or make you afraid (fear) that you are forfeiting your entry by not clicking the "respond button" in the email. Apparently getting millions of people to click on the their site daily makes them a ton of money through the advertisements that appear. But it's basically wasting a ton of your time!

Just say NO
September 11, 2019

All around suckiness. The merchandise is crap--cheesy, cheaply made, totally tossable. S&H outrageous. Takes 4 weeks to arrive. When the crappiness is discovered, refund is impossible. There is NO reason to buy anything from them... Do the contests, sure... I actually won small sums twice--probably worked out to 1/100 of a cent per hour of my time, but it's a fun time-waster when watching the tube. Otherwise--no sale!

Luck, I think not!
September 11, 2014

Luck, I think not! Can the daily tokens you receive be manipulated (probably). I see the same people on the token leader board daily. For example: Rick F. Well over 100,000 tokens everyday since 8-27-14, won $100 3 times; Karen K won $100 3 days in a row; Frank V won 3 days in a row (on top again today 9-11-14). I have asked PCH about this and they "take cheating very seriously" lol. Scuttlebutt is you can gain mega tokens by refreshing (whatever that means, i'me computer stupid). I don't think they have anybody watchdogging this or they just think we are too dumb to notice. Would love to have an answer back from PCH other than "we take it very seriously". I dont expect to win anything but would love to have an equal chance at it. If its ligit then congrats to all of these same daily leaders, if not then shame on you PCH for not keeping things fair and above board.

Deception and Scam
February 3, 2023

I placed an order with a $30.00 coupon offered. What a scam, they send a FREE item of their choice for $30.00 and charged me shipping $6.99 for the $30.00 coupon FREE item. The FREE item was not even worth $30.00 plus shipping, insane! The Coupon offered of $30.00 was not honored on my order! I have no use for their cheap chosen $30.00 gift for which I was charged shipping. What a scam and deception. Back it goes in the mail. Do not trust these folks. I wish I could given them 0 stars
