Publishers Clearing House (PCH)

Loyalty obviously means nothing to PCH. All too often, the Search and Win program resets itself back to "wow, look at you - you get 5000 points for your first search" when it's possible to go back and show the search for the previous day awarded 25,000. Talking to one of their representatives does no good. "Let me check into that for you and if we can prove you did search yesterday, we "might" be able to restore your points. Why? The system is apparently broken. When asked what browser I use and I told them Chrome 10, I was told they haven't yet upgraded their own programming to accommodate 10 because so many people are "really old" and don't use newer technology. I've been using computers since before they invented the internet so I'm one of those old people. What they don't understand is that old doesn't make you stupid! This used to be a fun diversion - I realize I will never win anything - but the consistent glitches are getting old fast. It's broken PCH - please repair it.

The site is very creative, well kept, and they make it fun for everyone. I have not won, like many others, but its free so I cannot complain. Im sure if you keep up with it, and play your Tri Peaks, blackjack, slots or coin toss games here instead of elsewhere it will work out for you, and there is always the chance of winning money, or prizes! Good luck everyone.

I've been playing for about 4-5 weeks and up to 7 hours per day and haven't won ANYTHING. Some games froze up and the message came up "having tech problems" and to try again later. I'm not sure if I can save some tokens for the next contest. Does anyone have an answer to that? Actually I need to win cash as I'm going to school to get money to live on since I can't find a job, plus I have 3 teeth that the crowns came off of. I owe so much in student loans and I'm 68 years old!

PCH main objective is getting you to buy cheap merchandise under the disguise of making you a millionaire they even say they Love their customers. I am 70 years old - have ordered from them since my 20's 50 years now. The merchandise is super cheap. I have never won any money and I I don't understand don't know anyone who has ever won a cent. I don't understand how they are legally allowed to take advantage of people especially elderly.

I'd been participating in PCH things since the '70s when it was all by mail; and online, since they computerized. I have 4 different browsers on my computer and no matter which one I use, I get "technical difficulties" messages quite a bit, as well as pages that won't load at all. I've never won a cent and their products seem to be WAY over priced, especially when adding in their exorbitant shipping fees. (ex: they have an indoor/outdoor thermometer for $19.95 + shipping, which I imagine is around $7. I bought the same exact thing at Walmart for $9.95). Not worth my time any more!

Been entering since 1971 (yes - 1971). I've responded to EVERY mailing and played untold hours online. I won $10.00 once. Figure I've earned. 01 cent for every 100 hours of my time. They claim to have "So many ways to win." but have you ever really known anyone who's won other than their big AD's when they give away the super prize? If they were for REAL they'd give $1000. 00 per week to 7 folks rather than $7000. 00 a week to one! Don't waste your time! Learn to play poker on line. At least then you'd have a chance to win something.

Don't waste your time. Should be shut down. They send e-mail all time, about winning, but nobody does or they did not register their numbers. Can I fill a complaint to get Pch removed from everything. A SCAM

Is there any cyber laws that exists? How do all these bogus PTC sites exist? Where is Interpol or FBI's cyber Division when you need them? I'm sure theres some law being broken. There is hundreds of these PTC sites that exist. Is (PCH)Publishers Clearing House the largest PTC site there is? Whats the manic urge/desire for people to join? Their odds of winning are only 1 in 1.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.
The odds of actually winning a Publishers Clearing House Sweepstake is so astronomical, you'd be more likely getting mauled by a Grizzly Bear and a Polar Bear both together under the New York City Subway System. Hay Chris Hansen...

I just found out they have only 2 out of 5 stars. And I know why now! I have entered the sweepstakes daily for 5 yrs. I won $10. I have ordered a couple times from their merchandise but it is a ripped off. I returned an item once and I did not get a refund. They charge S&H onto of ur purchase and there is no mention of that. Plus u can find whatever they r listing on the for allot less on the internet. So don't bother. Buy scratch tickets. At least u have a chance of winning something. With pch it's 1-1000. 000

Nobody seems to win the big prizes and if they do they don't make it public. How many cars have you seen given away? Me neither, but every month they have a car to waste your tokens on! They sent me a couple $10.00 checks which I did not win so I ripped them up... scam? Maybe, not worth the chance or the time. Both my husband and myself were contacted this year about orders WE DID NOT PLACE! When my husband contacted them they refused to take responsibility and just said, "sorry you changed your mind" WTH! My advice is if you never played don't start, it's addictive and you won't win!

Typical responses on here as I have. They even sent me a refund for their dry non growing bulbs. Once I cashed the checked, they billed me again and was going to send me to collections. Somebody should send them to collections. Certified and legal pirates in my opinion. Inferior products along with strong-arm collection. Keep making China rich.

I recall that some years ago, PCH was found to have been dumping literally tons of unopened entries in a New Jersey landfill. This leads me to assume the same is happening today, but since the entries are via the Internet, they are being sent to the great junkyard in the sky. This is nothing more than a scheme to collect dollars from the innumerable ads they show, and to make money by selling good from their various associated vendors.

I placed a six-month subscription order for Sports Illustrated on 11-9-15. It is now 1-12-16 and I have still not received my first issue.

I called Customer Service but their response was very poor and unsatisfactory. I won't be getting my first issue for another 4-6 weeks!

The least they could have done is extend my subscription by a couple of weeks out of common courtesy. PCH really dropped the ball on this one and I will never order anything from them again.

Nor should you.
