Publishers Clearing House (PCH)

I HAVE BEEN ANSWERING THESE ANNOYING EMAILS FOR MONTHS NOW BUT I HAVE WON TWICE. ONE WIN WAS FOR CABELLA'S A SPORTS STORE. I WON A 25 DOLLAR GIFT CARD BUT COULD NOT GET IT TO WORK ON THEIR SITE SO I CALLED THEM AND THEY WERE ABLE TO PROCESS MY ORDER. MY SECOND WIN WAS FOR A 10 DOLLAR WALMART GIFT CARD WHICH I HAD TO EMAIL PCH TO COLLECT IT AFTER WAITING FOR THEM TO MAIL TO ME FOR OVER A MONTH. THEY DID RESPOND QUICKLY AND EMAILED A CODE TO USE.

Decided I would sign up on line to be in the Sweepstakes. Thought it would be easy, just had to do it once to be in the running. Well, easy, My A--. I spent quite some time on line indicating I wasn't interested in this, and then that, and then clicked Continue uncountable times, followed by Submit, Submit to Continue, and it goes on for page after page, and also with some info indicating that I was almost done. I finally gave up thinking that I could have been entered and would receive an email with my entry number, etc. BUT NO... I did get an email indicating I had to do just one more thing before I got my number, so don't give up!... Well clicked on the link and after another 10 pages of clicking Continue, Submit, No to purchases, etc. I still got no where closer. Gave up. Following day, another email with the same thing - you are THIS close to being entered and you have to enter to win. Nope, not falling for it this time. Kept getting emails and then unsubscribed and hope that works. Good luck to the poor saps who spend hours per day and days attempting to sign up for that Wonderful (yeah... sure...) Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes.

The government should look into this and ban them. It shouldn't take like 25 plus pages, tens of clicks, and hours to enter a contact. Shame on PCH.

I really enjoy the new PCH app, very good graphics and easy to use, they have better games this time around.

I started buying magazines & entering contests from PCH (via USPS) in approximately 1980, and I started entering their sweepstakes online in approximately 2002, I believe. In all those 38 years, I received $20, receiving two $10 checks twice this year. I have spent hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on merchandise and postage stamps, not to mention all the lost time entering their contests. The items they have online are mostly very poor quality and too expensive, plus the shipping & handling charges are high; I'm pretty sure that you have to pay S/H individually for each item, not like other websites where you are charged S/H, depending on the total dollar amount of your purchase. PCH charges S/H for each and every single item, which adds up very quickly. Also, regarding their large sweepstakes, I'd much rather see, for example, 7 individuals win $1000 a week for life rather then $7000 a week for 1 individual. Well, I've finally wised up and hope you do, too, before you through any more of your hard-earned money or your Social Security allowance into the coffers of the insatiable beast known as Publishers Clearing House!

Not all you see is true. Well this is my letter. They probably send the same letter to everyone to get them to buy. :(

I have not bothered with them ever, although I almost did. If it is a scam, people should go to your state attorney and file an official complaint.

Looking through these reviews makes me aware of a number of things -
Most of the "reviews" that give PCH one or two stars are by people that can't string together any coherent thoughts or opinions that can support their views. It's very difficult to take someone seriously when they sound like they're in second grade. And their spelling is unbelievably atrocious. Once again, hard to take them seriously.
Another thing I notice is that their main gripe is that they don't win. Welcome to the real world. Look at the odds of winning. NOT in your favor. If they were, almost everyone would be winning $10,000,000 or $5000 a week for life. That would be a pretty poor business practice, would it not? Your business would be guaranteed to go under real fast.
Also, I've read at least two reviews that insist it said in an email from PCH that you cannot win unless you make a purchase. WRONG! That would be an illegal business practice. There are rules and regulations that PCH has to follow, whether they want to or not. You know, it doesn't take very long to check this out. You have Internet access; use it for more than spreading false news stories and showing others your great lunch.
These "reviewers" make me sick, but can also be good for a laugh, so it kinda balances out, no? LOL!
The only reason I gave PCH four stars rather than five is due to the pain in the rear it can be at times to navigate through some of their site pages. But, beyond that, I've never really had a bad experience with PCH, and I've been entering their sweepstakes for probably fifteen years. I haven't won anything yet, but there's always that slight chance that it might be my time.
Who knows?

PCH will tell you, "The house where dreams come true" - This isn't our dreams, they are talking about their dreams by using the public to buy their stupid craps online and play their games without paying US ANYTHING. People to enter these games you need:
A person / Someone
An Office / Home
Rent
Time-consuming
Electricity
Air Conditioner / Heat
Cell Phone
Internet / Wifi
PC / Tablet
Foods
Drinks
PCH has been getting all OF THESE ABOVE FOR FREE. People we all need to wake up, we cannot let PCH use us like that. Time is hard right now and it's not easy to get money nowadays.

I entered games and play a lot of lotto for PCH for 9 months by seating on my back for 10 to 12 hours per day, I started from Bronze Level 0 - To VIP Red Diamond 352,950,640 to the last Level, and earned + 30,000 Tokens PCH only sent me a check of $10.00. All of these entries for 9 months are worth more than that. They forced me to purchase craps from them, and now I want all of my money back because they gained more than me,
I entered the game and work for free I earned = 0
Forced me to purchase craps I earned =0
I earned Lotto money they pay me nothing = 0
They are still misleading and Deceiving more people every day. Maybe someday we can get paid for our work.
Even the rewards are not true they just placed pictures on gifts on their site to make you believe that win something I've there everything is a MONTAGE. Stay away from Danielle LAM she is a professional Thief and Lier

I know people are complaining about emails & this & that but I'm not complaining about that. I spend most of my day doing what I have to because I really want this. The only thing I'm concerned about is I guess I accidentally ordered something that I don't need & I still have it. I'm struggling day by day that's why I play but when I do have the money I will pay for it. I received some scratch away for a car & I don't even own a car lol but still I know there's ways that you click on something that steers you away from playung the games & I guess that's how I ordered it on accident but that was my fault & I'm trying to be more careful about that. I just wanted to say I still believe in winning I don't care about all of the negative comments. I've been scammed too but I know there are scammers out there. I live by faith & I know if it's meant to be it will be, I won't blame anyone for it nor be angry because someone else wins. I get discouraged at times because I am struggling but as long as I am able to I will keep trying & I think all you people need I'd a little patience. That is one thing I am forced to have but I will not let it discourage me too much. Good luck to you all & please don't give up.
