Hard to win
April 11, 2018

Over 15 million tokens and not one win and I'm not a binge player with a lot of points. That's a lot of hours watching commercials. Fun at time but getting a bit old.

Double charged for the same item
January 10, 2023

I bought some supposedly razor sharp knives and there not, I bought them in December 2022 and thought I bought them with my charge card and I was told my charge didn't go thru. Then about a week later I received an invoice in the mail for the knives and paid it promptly, This is January 2023 and I get my credit card statement and find out the charge did go thru so, now I paid for them twice.I swore backing the 90s that I would stop doing any business with them, SHAME ON ME FOR NOT DOING THAT

Scam with the Scum
October 23, 2020

Over charged worthless products using a winners circle as bait. PCH than sends you garbage that you never ordered and expects you to pay for it and several times, sends you the SAME ITEM TWICE AND EXPECTS YOU TO PAY FOR THAT TOO.

Shopping search
April 3, 2022

Would be exciting to win, however people like me who are on the site to win do not have the money to shop. The search sites get old. Encourage me to spend the money after I win.

Misleading
June 25, 2016

I got the bag in the hole playing the bag toss, supposedly, it's a instant win of a $1000 but all I got was tokens. I also made a basket while playing the basketball game but got nothing but tokens.

I like playing some of the games. I was wondering if anyone has gotten the letter "o" in the instant bingo game. I have gotten every letter but the letter "o" every time I play

Much like many of the other reviews here, don't waste your time playing ANY games because you WILL NOT WIN, i cant say for sure if the 10,000 a week for life is a scam though, so in my personal opinion i would probably continue to enter into that sweepstake at least(and ONLY that one...) but i'm now only playing the games to pass the time since they are fun at least (i seriously believe that the game is rigged...).

Now one thing that actually worked for me (in terms of making money) is a site called Cash Crate (found after giving up ever winning money on pch), you basically get paid to complete surveys and offers (the surveys are the most reliable especially since you do not have to give out your actual information and they will not bonbard you with emails like pch does.

The only email you will receive is is a confirmation that your Check has been shipped out to you(Yes they will send you a Check each month when you reach the minimum payout its legit i have actually gotten 2 checks from them it wasnt much(because im lazy and dont spend too much time on it i admit it, but at least i know it works))

So if your curious about what Cash Crate is then check out this full Link below

This is probably a Chinese scam! Everything they have is made (cheaply) in China
The BBB should investigate this they hound you with postal and Email urging you to buy products and in the end (three days before so called prize drawing) you HAVE to make a purchase or you are disqualified!

Not Easy, but Worth It
January 15, 2019

Those who call Publishers Clearing House a scam are just mad, because they haven't won anything. I haven't won a Sweepstakes yet, either, but that doesn't mean I should give up. Since when did PCH promise us that this Sweepstakes would be an AUTOMATIC WIN for ANYONE WHO PARTICIPATES, or a GET RICH QUICK opportunity? Last time I checked, NEVER. They DID, however, promise us that it will be worth it in the end, as long as we keep entering & don't give up. That's just like when you're on your way to becoming a famous singer, actress, etc. These kind of jobs aren't something that just happens overnight, nor is it the same as applying for a 9-5 job. You need to KEEP WORKING YOUR WAY THERE to make it happen. It's the same thing with Publishers Clearing House. Even though I have not currently won a Sweepstakes, I did win a few things thus far: 3 $10 checks & a $5 Amazon Gift Card. These are signs that I musn't give up, & neither should you as long as you choose to optimisticly keep going.

I have been playing (I admit it becomes addicting) but I have come to the conclusion that no one actually wins, I believe the people shown are either paid actors or compensated for what they are saying. I won 5 bucks on the level up wheel never to receive it. I do enjoy the games but on the PCH app there are too few good ones. Also the apps work horribly more than they should period. If this is truly not a very big scam then I would like to see substantial truth. Funny how all the winners look sooo good and live in really nice homes, that just doesn't pass the smell test as they say. I would appreciate my 5 bucks I won but I guess that was just a scam... I do enjoy playing the games but I don't think there are actual winner's ie. Who won that car?, Or that beautiful million dollar home or even the $500,000. Dollar one? I am truly curious and would be honored to meet an actual winner. For now I am trying to cut down on the time I waste playing these games. Thank You, Sincerely Elizabeth M. Also please beware of their ads if you look up some of the things advertised they themselves are scams like the thing that reduces electric usage or even that robot mopping and vacuuming machine advertised under two or three different names? PCH should be checking their ads for scams but when they appear to be one why would they?

Just out of curiosity, when you do not play publishers clearing house anymore, how many of you get the same e-mails as I do? First, they send you the e-mail that you are at "risk" if you don't play--the next e-mail says "you are doing well" and yet you didn't yet play again? I quit playing because each and everyday I played (never to even win a penny), PCH seemed to ask you to play over and over again each day! I couldn't keep up! I don't have the time to sit at the computer ALL day JUST to play PCH and NEVER win anything! I have decided--Phooey on you PCH--YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A SCAM! You don't go to peoples houses with balloons, giant checks and TV cameras. You can't even answer on this site!

Shipping/Handling
March 12, 2015

For the most part, I think you're great, but i. Dont. Like your shipping and handling charges. They're way. Too high and I'm also wondering how the heck you come up with all the money that people supposedly win. You say that only one percent of. Sweepstakes entrants actually order merchandise. I know you're a global.company.and the only place you cannot do any business with is the Province of Quebec which is in Canada. That must mean you have millions of customers and sweepstakes entrants. After all, this globe is. Huge! I also want to give you a big "thank you" for selling inspirational material... i. love the One Year Study Bible you sold.me. It is teally.helping.me with. My. Relationship with God because it's organized by date and I think of you every.time.i.open.it. If it weren't for the. Lord Jesus using you to get. Me. That Bible, I wouldn't be doing. Half as well as I am now! I also love your 4-part payment. Plan. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't be able to buy anything at all! That really. Helps. In addition, you know how to. Pick your. Merchandise! Everything I have bought from you is great quality. Thank you so. Much!

If pch isn't a scam then they need to show us all of our prize numbers! I cannot figure out any other excuse for them not showing us all of our prize numbers unless they are scamming everyone.

Publishers Clearing House (PCH) Makes you purchase items. I decided to not buy any items from the pictures of items they sent me. I still entered the contest to win $5000 a week for life. PCH sent me back a letter telling me I had to buy something to be entered into the drawing even though they say in writing you don't need to purchase to enter. I felt like I had to purchase in order for a chance to win. Then they tried to make me pay in full online even though they said pay in monthly installment's. I ignored the email and they went ahead and sent my package to me. Two items plus shipping was $40 and $10 was just for shipping. They have a website to go on for me to make my first installment.
I was late making the first payment and PCH sent out a letter three weeks later demanding full payment. I never wanted what I was forced to purchase and was afraid if I sent back the items they would not enter me into the contest. I learned my lesson. PCH uses get rich schemes in order to make a profit. I knew better but PCH kept sending me letter after letter saying I was in the process of winning.
