Publishers Clearing House (PCH)

I have been a loyal participant with PCH for nearly 13 years. I enter nearly everyday. Via PCH Search, Frontpage, and my daily email entries. I have purchased so many products of theirs throughout the years, and many items are cheap! (Their jewelry is good)
I am becoming disgruntled, because after all these years I have spent ordering / entering, I have NOT won anything! Not even a 50 dollar prize. My sons tell me to stop playing, and especially, STOP ordering, because there is no reward for loyalty to PCH.
I can say I am not ordering as much as I once did, because I got wise, (living on SS only)!
I still enter nearly everyday, but I no longer get any hopes up of ever winning the big prize.
I have spent thousands throughout the years on their products, and many were disappointing, to say the least. I have been satisfied with their jewelry, some linens, and mens socks. But the rest of the 'stuff' I have ordered is junk!
Yes, I am disappointed with PCH, making people like me, believe that I could actually WIN something. Someday. If it sounds too good to be true, IT IS. I still enter, but with caution, and common sense now!

I come to my local library daily to work on my graduate degree and often sit next to a wonderful hearing impaired individual. She is always playing on PHC website. I try to respect her privacy but we have communicated and she has offered the information to me. I feel so bad the hours she puts into this website. I am not exactly sure what she is doing but has communicated to me that the Prize Patrol will be at her home on 8/31/15. I just feel like this is all a scam. I actually told her I thought that and she somewhat defensively said NO! I find that PCH is a bunch of predators. What are they gaining from these people who are on fixed incomes with disabilities? I see her heart breaking with the doubt the "Prize Patrol" is going to be anywhere insight on 8/31. I give them a ZERO. It's terrible thing scamming the elderly and disabled like this. A this crap about tokens and bingo is a joke. Heck I will take you all to a bingo hall. You would actually have fun and a better chance of winning. Can anything be done to stop this?

I have been entering the PCH contest for years. Needless to say I have never won anything. They actually have a page were you can use your points for entries to win things like a $50 gift card to Walmart. I have millions of points. I have tried to enter the Wallmart drawing quite a bit. I usually get 25/50 entries at a time. I have never won this. Also, PCH will advertise anything as long as there is something in it for them. One of the devices they advertise is a device that you plug into your wall sockets that supposedly reduce your electric bills. Well from a physics standpoint this is impossible. Also, the company says you have to wait for 90 days before the device starts working. Their guarantee money back offer is only good for 90 days. Guess what, you will never get your money back for this piece of useless junk. Since PCH is advertising this, would you really trust them. I know I don't after seeing this. The only thing their site is setup to do is badger you into buying their stuff. I am suspect on who they actually wins their drawings for all the cash.

I have ordered & received 2 items & they don't even come close to doing what they should do, plus the detailed information & picture of each item, makes it sound & look much better than it really is, when you receive it. Very disappointed, to say the least. I've seen other items I would like to order but, I won't, thinking the same problem would happen all over again. Sure, they make it sound like it's very easy to get a refund but, I don't care to be the one that has to repackage & go to post office to get it on it's way. NO THANK YOU, i DON'T ORDER SO I CAN RETURN..

Joke is on you you are not going to ever win off pch it is a scam it is the the kind of scam that gets rich off of your foolishness sure very little win off of this but you do not have a fair chance they set you up to make you think you have a chance but it is a lie my brother left a bad review and quit playing and they sent him a 10.00 check telling him he won this is a fools game they bank off of you and they lie and deceive everyone that plays why waste your time you will have better luck at a casino and you do not have to invest hours everyday playing their app watching their ads I am fed up they wont get rich off of me I am done playing the fool there are so many things we should be spending our time on that is not pch dont be a victim of they scam they are the only ones getting rich off of you with their ads apps and false chances of winning the people that keep playing are playing a fool and they bank on that so do what you please but with everything going on in life I refuse to waste my life being on my phone and computer all the time just to sit back and make them more money

I have played PCH games & have entered thier Sweepstakes for almost 30 years now. I've purchased from thier mailings years ago (thousands of dollars of useless merchandise)won absolutely ZERO dollars but I'm now up to 23Million, Seven Hundred Eighty One four hundred and forty four Tokens. YAY! I now qualify to win cash. I actually won 2 $10 dollar gift cards. 1 walmart & the other Amazon card. However, I had to fight tooth & nail to get my prize. Soon as you win in one of thier games, the site suddenly begins to have technical difficulties or the site will send you a fizzle word which they want you to type in and match. Even after matching the same word, the site tells you the word you entered does not match. I had to screen shot the matching words to prove to PCH, that I had won and was putting in the correct info before I could actually collect my $10 bucks. The only good thing about the game now is that you don't get bombarded with excessive amounts of physical junk mail. Now they bombard your email inbox with tons of emails treating to forfeit your entris if you don't respond. It's freaking Crazy.

Promises, promises, promises! Never a delivery on their CONSTANT emails, etc. stating otherwise! I use to purchase stuff but it's all made in China, very poor quality such as rusts, broken on delivery, etc. years ago when I'd buy stuff I almost always could get the charges canceled. That was when the advertised price was times four. All of a sudden, the advertised prices changed to times five! And, their shipping and handling rates are crazy! S&H isn't based on weight, rather, by the price range of what you buy! They must make lots of money just on S&H and if you buy a necklace weighing ounces but costs 19.99 you pay exorbitant prices for S&H! I stopped buying anything from them because 99% is junk! I'm an elite member cause I play their games, but really, I'm a dope for staying with them so long hoping I'll win something. I will be dropping them after their next big award. I'm not surprised they are still in business because they are carefully run business. I just hope I'm one of many who drops them like a hot potato! Promises, promises, promises, very fulfilled!

I've bought some household items from PCH & OMG, the quality has been consistently POOR with a price that that has been consistently HIGH.
I don't expect much in terms of quality from a DOLLAR STORE other than a consistently low prices. Well, the quality of the goods that I have purchased from dollar stores over the years has been 100% better than the quality I've found in my 3 purchases from PCH.

I've given them 3 chances and all 3 items were POOR. I have no plans to ever buy anything from PCH again.

I got the same products offered to me six to seven times daily. One particular product I bought a year ago, I wanted a second one because I had moved and left the old one attached to the previous home. It never showed up in this year's ads. Most of the products I don't need or already have it or a similar item. But I did see a battery storage / tester unit I was interested in and put it in the cart. Now I know of no other business that does this but I left the item in the cart in case I found additional items I wanted to order. I was not ready to order but wanted to keep the item as a reminder of what I found, I don't want to pay shipping on just one item if I could later find the actual item I was looking for. Upon closing the app this item was automatically ordered without warning. There's nothing in the ads or the web pages that warns of this action. I was able to cancel it through a phone call but they should not be automatically ordering items. This is a highly unusual action as compared with the other websites I deal with.

Lately, when I play the VIP sweepstakes, I get on a pretty regular basis a 'sweep_id=' in the URL of a prize amount that I select. If I get this, it means that I just get a page refresh and I can't proceed any further for that prize or the grand prize for entering all of the prize amounts. I've reported this to PCH, but they are useless and could care less. Is this a bug that no one at PCH intends to fix, or is it intentional because I'm entering too often? Does anyone else have this issue?
