Free Method isn't Working

mi4090 — Tue, 28 Jan 2020 13:00:10 GMT

Hello Community,

I've used (5) different browsers to use the "Free Entry Method" in Redeem section to no avail. I keep getting a Error message asking to refresh page on every browser with my login.

Is anyone else having this problems?

@sandycould you please help?

Have a Blessed Day

Hello Community Warriors,

On 2/4/20 @ 8:42p CT, I used the Free Method to play for the Bed, Bath & Beyond (Weekly Instant Win) and it worked. Everything on the Rewards site resets for me at 11p CT/12a ET.

At 12:38a CT/1:38a ET I tried the Free Method to play for Bed, Bath & Beyond (Weekly Instant Win) and kept receiving the message Play Again Daily. I experienced this for more than an hour. I wasn't able to use the Free Method during the time period of 12:38a CT to 1:59a CT, and unable to play for the Weekly Bed, Bath and Beyond Instant Win. At around 2:04a CT/3:04a ET was able to enter information and submit and got the "Play Again Daily" message. This is the 2nd time this has happened.

Is this happening to anyone else?

Have a Blessed Day,

Marylin

@mi4090

I believe the Daily/Weekly wins typically reset at 9am Eastern.

Rules for this specific one don't lay it out, but I have seen it in a previous one where a day was defined as 9am to 8:59am the next day. Here the rules just lay out the begin and end of the whole week.

Cheers,

Ray

@mi4090 and @ralmon . Ralmon's reply is correct. A day is defined as 9am to 8:59am the next day.

@AARPTeri

Why was I able to submit Free Method on 2/5 @ 2:04a CT, but not before?

So if I play after 12a ET on 2/6 it still counts as 2/5 Free Entry method?

Also, after using Free Method without winning, why does the system allow you to play again using points? Shouldn't that be faded out after playing once for the day?

@ralmon

Ray was able to submit Free Entry on 2/5 after 2a CT and not before, very strange😕

Hello Community Warriors

@ralmon @andrewtoo @Brightpool @gm5271 @rednexsrus

Ray, Andrew, Lynn, Ginger & Lucy,

Have any of you won anything using the "Free Method" in the last (4) weeks?

If so, what was it and what time of day/night are you getting the wins (PT, MT, CT, ET)? Last time free method win worked for me was in December.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Have a Blessed Day

@mi4090

I have only won a daily instant win once and it hasn't been in the past four weeks, to my recollection. I have never won a weekly instant win. And, yes, I have used the free option.

No luck here.

@andrewtoo

Andrew thanks for letting me know I'm not along using the free method trying to win something lately.

If any other members are winning can you please share the time of your win and what it was?

Have a Blessed Day

Hello Community Warriors,

I'm beginning to think the "Free Method" is stuck in "Play Again Daily" mode.

Have a Blessed Day,

@mi4090 Believe it or not I finally won a daily instant win. It was using the alternate method you posted about. (Thanks, I didn't know about that.) It was in the very early hours of the morning as I woke up at 3 a.m. and couldn't go back to sleep. Played about 5 a.m. ET. That was this morning, 2/18.

@HokiePoq

Thanks for letting us know that you were able to win a daily instant win with the alternate method. I was beginning to wonder if we could actually win using that method.

Hello @HokiePoq

Congrats on your win Thanks so much for letting me know that it's still working for some of us and the details of the time won.

Enjoy your prize!

Have a Blessed Day,

Marylin

Woohoo, just won a $10 PetCo gift card.

@mi4090- I used the alternate (free) method. Time was 16:11 CST, not that it really makes a diff, because the times are randomized.

Just waiting for the email confirmation now.

Cheers,

Ray

@ralmon

Congrats Ray

I've given up on playing and entering, just banking points now.

Thanks for letting me know.

@mi4090

Thanks Marylin,

I've only entered on occasion. Seemed useless to play for things I wouldn't even use. This will be a gift for my neighbor who has 4 dogs.

Now, that the regular sweep entry has some kind of screwup, I'm not sure I'll continue putting points there either. We'll see what the managers have to say about that odd behavior.

Cheers.

Ray

Hello Rewards Warriors,

I typed the entire web address for a Instant Win using Free Method and verified it (3) times an got the error message. I noticed that clicking on the link only the first part of the address is highlighted and loads.

Asking again if anyone is winning using the Free Method😤?

Have a Blessed Day,

Marylin

@mi4090

Good morning Marylin, There has been a lot of discussion in the forum about the Free Entry Method for Reward Wins, so I decided to check it out for myself. I tried doing the Darden Instant Win and it went OK, no problemo, as expected I did not win Ha Ha Ha no surprize there 🤔 🤔

I understand the concept of FREE but having to download say 7 Instant Win rules and then fill out each one and submit them one at a time isn't that "way too much sugar for a dime"

Then you have to do it all over again every day, for each one. Right ??? Then if you do Sweeps you have to do the same thing for each one you enter 'unh-unh'

good luck with that !! or am I missing something ?? Que sera sera

After all if we don't spend the points they are just going to take them away from us 😫 😫

Just Saying

I agree with @rednexsrus that the free method to play the Instant Win games takes too much time and effort now that there are 7 games to play each day. Much easier and time efficient to spend 50 points to play the games. You can easily earn the points back by doing one quiz or watching one video.
