Instant Win Alternate Entry

[MicheleW321192]

I am curious as to whether or not the free alternate entry method is worth the time to input my info rather than just using points. Has anybody won an instant win using it?

Happy 4th everyone!

I have won several Instant Wins in the past few years using the free entry method.  But I don't think there is any greater chance of winning using this method than actually playing the games.  Per the rules, there are "random computer-generated winning times during the Promotion Period" and if you are the first person to play after these times, then you win, and it doesn't matter if you play by the actual game or the alternate entry.  It's just up to you if you want to use points by playing the game or save the points but spend the extra time entering all your information for the free method.

Great summary. Also the Slots or Sliding Tiles have no actual part in the game, they were added a few years ago to provide a "near win" feeling to the game as previously, it was instant and a pretty lame you lose message. So your instant win is actually over before the sliding tiles or slots even start. Early on, the games would show a winner on the game, but not in the banner below which is why all this was explained to us a few years ago. 

So, I have won using "Free Method", it was one of those times the games were not showing on the rewards page, but the free entry worked. I guess fewer people were playing since they could not see them. 

So I think definitely worth for those Super Instant wins. I let my browser autofill my name and email, so I only enter birthday.

Hi, @MicheleW321192 , I think in all honesty there are probably more winners this way.  But saying that, I backed out of it once I saw all of the info that was needed on that entry right away..  Why open myself up for more junk mail?  So since then I’ve decided to not take those instant Wins and Sweepstakes seriously, and not even use the alternative way to enter as well.  There are winners, and personally I think the ones that do win tend to be from the alternate way of entering them.
