I've been a pch member for almost 10 years now. I've never won a single dime but yet they keep claiming everyone else wins. Have you ever met anyone that won anything from PCH? I haven't
A half a billion tokens exchanged what i won nothing you should have a negative line for this enterprise.
Odds of winning are astronomical. Truth is they "beg" you to make a purchase. The items are often Dollar Store quality or can easily be found on Ebay and other similar websites. The consumer who plays daily is more apt to "win token" than a genuine cash prize. So long as the time spent entering their free contests is for pure fun and pleasure participants are way ahead. Buying anything, regardless of the "best price" offered always costs a minimum of $20. Because of the inappropriately high shipping charges.
Truth is the likelihood you'll be a winner is practically zero. You can tell your chances are practically zero when they "give you" thousands of tokens. The company began in the 50's in Port Washington, Long Island by the Mertz family. Suffice it to say I've been a participant on and off through the years (since I was a girl) and have only won once. It was a $10.00 check in 2019. I'm a Senior. That alone should speak volumes to anyone playing with hopes of winning.
Better odds in Vegas and in your own State Lottery!
They are cheating again on the addition of your tokens!-! They stopped and now they are at it again!
Tired of the constant hounding to place orders! Everything pending on orders. It needs to stop!
If they are so concerned with customer satisfaction why am I still waiting on orders as far back as March
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 keep getting E mail after Email telling me that unless I purchase something that I CAN'T WIN ANYTHING FROM PCH. Which I believe is quite Illegal. It says right there on the Sales Page " NO PURCHASE NESSASARY " And yet the E mails say otherwise.
I've won a $10 prize and $5 prize and it's been two years and I never receive a check as they said I would. It's a scam
American Citizens! Quit dreaming that you are going to be the 1 person in TEN MILLION to have Publisher's Clearing House knock on your door and give you a barrel of money! PCH has now become the Scammer's Playground, and 99% of you are too STUPID to know you are getting took! REMEMBER the old saying: "If it's TOO good tone TRUE, ITS NOT TRUE!". PCH contacts you IN PERSON, UNEXPECTEDLY! NOT BY PHONE! WAKE UP! Don't be a MORON! PCH is now nothing but a nuisance! Quit sitting around in your underwear and bunny slippers waiting for the doorbell to ring! Don't feed this beast! Toss all the crap they send you, and go make an honest dollar! PCH is a SOCIETAL MORIAH! Kill it by Not feeding it with responses and empty Hope!
Very few high value prizes are awarded. The company is a marketing and sales machine. I bought 1 thing and 1 magazine in the past at 2 different times. Both items were not the items ordered. I called the so called customer service and received arguments from both representatives that could barely speak English. I think they were in the Philippines. Haven't ordered since. The excuse for not awarding the high level prizes is they didn't respond. Funny how that occurs most of the time. If you look at the odds of winning, you'll notice it is 10x worse than the state and national lotto games. I feel it's a scam.
Games have gone to the dump.
Act like they don't want anyone to play free online!
They pull every stunt in the book to help you not finish a game.
They drop targets. They freeze targets like crazy. New thing is this crazy blocking of targets. Seriously bad the past 2 months.
Why advertise free: when obviously not their agenda?
I know how to play. Once upon a time use to be enjoyable
The game is Mahongg Minute
I have grown up with this company and have played & ordered product for close to 20

Been involved with this company for 20 years and i love the way
They turn everyday people's life's
Around always showing up at the
Wright time of need This company
Takes me back to the seventhies in some ways when life was a little more simple & fun and we had more trust in each other
They do not listen to your questions. When using your coins to enter to win prizes the same name of previous winners is all the same name on every prize makes no sense. How legit is this company? Tried to get this question answered just got a generic response.
You really are a zero star, they try making me play what games they want me to play by not letting me play what I want. Contact the market place these people are better than the better business bureau they Will expose them
Do yourself a favor and throw their mail in the trash. Block their emails as well. The items they sell are cheaply made and cost more than at brick and mortar stores. The chance to win anything from them is slim to none. All they want is your money and if you order something they harass you to buy more. I clicked on an item to buy but then changed my mind. I did not fill out the section to confirm the order because I didn't want the item after all. I closed their webpage but a few weeks later said Item was in my mailbox with a bill attached to it. I sent the item back to sender Crooks at their finest.
Half the time that things don't work they don't give you tokens the lotto doesn't work I've played five months straight you win nothing I think my time is done with publishers clearing house I did not get two of the things I ordered and paid for!
Not a day goes by that I don't get at least 5 to 7 e-mails -- then they are all basically the same would not one a day be enough? They need to wake up
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.
Returning EVERYTHING I have received except for 2 items which yes we're things that can't be made cheap. But 2 items out of many are not good. Everything else is going back and better be taken of of balance owed. I ordered a roll of pennies that were all supposed to be 1902 through 1940's uncirculated. What I got was a roll that every penny is 1970's. I also ordered 2 bank notes $ 1.00 I received 2 1 dollar bills that look like they were taken out of someone's pocket. Not even getting into the other items all I'm going to say is complete junk. STAY AWAY it all sounds good and might look like items are genuine but farthest from that
Answer: Probably but we keep playing as the games do give us something to do. Wouldn't bet on a big win however.
Answer: Am I still in the running for PCH's $7,000.00 a week win Thanks hoping for good news. My computer was down for two days. Does this disqualify me
Answer: I know they keep changing the dates for winning and they say no purchase needed until the end with a notice to buy something and you will be on their list they should be accounted for to better business bureau and all the items are made in china this company must be owned by china I'm done with them
Answer: Oh this is big time scam. Like I said in my review we put to much time into this wack company that when see anything about money we think it's them. Nobody ever wins there special early look prizes unless it's a guaranteed giveaway.
Answer: Well, and just as I expected, the October 23 "special early look" did NOT result in the "mega prize" being awarded. Surprise, surprise! I saw that they immediately started advertising on TV their next "mega prize" (what is it now? $5000 a week for life? Bet they don't award that one, either!) Just a scam to drum up sales to weak-minded people who actually think they have a snowball's chance in you-know-where to win anything at odds of almost 2 billion to one. A total fraud!
Answer: I didn't know this but it makes sense as there is nothing to it but the same thing day after day. PCH has gone downhill with games, lately, as even the daily puzzles, now, just drag and are hard to move the pieces. Too many puzzles and probably too many people playing, Also same thing, every day and are only for fun to kill time with. Maybe, now, they are just not monitoring the sites to see their problems. Bingo, no great loss.
