Just had another smooth trade with JimmyH. Looks to be a valuable member of the CAG community! Thanks again.
Thanks for the easy trade! :D. I'm loving this promo and website!. So far I've won more than 1 item every day. Total = 2x Gamepacks, 1x Faceplate and 9x 100 MS points:D:D:D:D. Going to try and get me a VIP package next ;).

GL, how many tries do you do a day? Last night I did over 500 tries(first time doing HxC exploiting this promo, got 5 XBL codes
)and it's REALLY tedious. The VIP package happens 2 times a day, so good luck. Could someone post a pic of the faceplates? I have 4 coming in 6 weeks, I hope they don't look that bad.

What is the HxC exploit? Also I think it's less than 1 VIP a day on average, 200 VIPs over 280 days.

Thats aparently what the faceplate looks like. Personally I think its ok.
I probably do about 250-300 tries a day on average although I'm kinda addicted to it and find it hard to stop sometimes :lol:. Its got to the point where I can submit entries without really thinking about what I'm doing, like I'm on autopilot or something. I just love the feeling you get when the screen turns white for 2 seconds and you wait to see what you've won :bouncy:.
The problem I have is I live in the UK so any gamepacks or faceplates I win are no use to me since they wont ship outside the US. If I could I'd be selling them on eBay. All I really want is the MS points. If I won the VIP package I'd be very happy but would have to have it sent to one of my American relatives and then get them to post it to me.

No joke, I won VIP 2 days in a row.
This is absolutely insane. It doesn't seem real. Like I don't even know what to do with the second VIP package right now.

I figured I'll try and snag some MS points right around 3, and on my 5th try the VIP win screen came up again. Jesus Christ."

$200 is approximately 20%, which is actually a pretty conservative number.

Yup, E-mail is NEVER needed to claim your prize.

Well...damn... first 10 trys = 200 MS points.

I recall awhile back on page 206 you were giving sp00ge crap for winning multiple gamepacks. You say here you would like to win a gamepack.
Do you really need more than one copy of a game? You know, I don't think so. What it really comes down to is how can you profit from it? "Oooh, I'll profit from this.." I could probably have won 3-4, but I got one gamepack, and I'm fine with that. I'm sure I could trade them into GameStop, or selll them on Craigslist, but I'm happy with what I have. I'm sorry you don't agree, but don't get mad when people accuse you of hoarding. Because that's exactly what you're doing. Save some for everybody else.
Jay
Then you say here that you already won a gamepack.

From what I've seen, it seems that we've milked this down to the core. Tropicana actually LOST money from this contest. The only thing you can get that's worth it are the MS points. Even now, the gamepacks are only worth a small amount of money, since if you get more than one, you can't do much with it except sell it for some money. You're never going to need more than one faceplate. It's all supply and demand. The captcha is so god damn fucking annoying.

Not really. The people that bought the drink for the code or for the taste (which is probably a low amount) can still enter their code on the site and COULD win. But, we all know that's a small chance. Gamepacks are still out there, so are the VIP packages. It's not like they keep restocking the item, they're only giving out a set amount. So once that amount is gone, all of that item is gone. The 100 ms points and the faceplates will probably always be available though.
JimmyH
12-02-2007, 07:12 PM
Tropicana won't have lost any money from this promo at all. They should actually have made money since this is after all a publicity promo. It really doesn't make any difference to them if we enter 1000+ times a day. They'll already have a set number of prizes which are already bought/bugeted and paid for (or free depending on how M$ is involved in the deal).
I'm not sure how the prize system is set up but I'd have thought it was set to only allow a certain number of gifts a day. This way there is still a chance to win all the way until it ends in Feb (?). That might be the reason why a lot of people claim to win more in the morning (seems like most of the stuff I get is in the morning). Although apart from winning 300 points this morning I havn't won a single thing in over 200 tries today!.
I understand JimmyH, if you look on my other post on page 90[I get max posts/page] I said that this contest seems like Winzy, certain prizes at certain times.
Still, of all of the times that we've done this using the set promo code AA4XPN3, that's alot of money tropicana THINKS they're getting. I never buy those drinks anyways, Sprite Zero for the win.
I think that the XBL codes are from a set time for sure, since everyone seems to be getting them either 5 or 100 times after their tries

True...but that would be a more complicated script for the contest. And this contest is very exploitable, I mean, no password character limit, no confirm email, not even real email needed? I highly doubt it.
It's like having a lottery that anyone can control to some extent(the numbers), and then having it so some people who buy a certain type of ticket automatically win something

So does anyone on this board have a use for the thousands of trial codes we're cranking out? I have about 1500 codes sitting in a .txt. I've seen quite a few people selling them in batches of 100 on eBay. That might seem wrong to some people but you have spent a lot of your own time collecting them. Personally I've stopped bothering to copy and paste them. I'll use some for my other live accounts and maybe sell/give away the rest.

Man!, I can't believe the site is still down, lol. Hopefully all they need is just some promotionexpert.com guy to reset the script to get things rolling again. I only found out about this promo 5 days ago :cry:. Although, so far I've won/traded 4000 ms points worth of stuff, heheheh. I really hope it keeps going until Feb! (seriously doubt it though).

I tried to enter and it just took me back to the homepage, so I wasn't sure what was up... then I tried again and it told me that I've already played. Or maybe I need to use IE?

2x Forza 2 + Fusion Frezy gamepacks
1x Faceplate
and erm 1300 MS points (I think)
Not bad considering I'd only been playing the last 4.5 days. + I traded everything I won for more MS points!. So,...... I love CAG!!! :D. Lets hope Tropicana sort the site out so I and everyone else can get even more!.

Haha... oooo k. Well I guess people shouldn't get anything for spending hours "playing" this game... I consider if secondary income at this point since I'll be taxed for it anyways.
Also, should I stop giving away free faceplates/ gamepacks/ MS points... considering how "greedy" I and others are being. Or what about posting information for all to use... man I bet fellow CAGgers would hate that. Or wait, what about the gamepacks that I plan on donating to Child's Play? I guess I should just keep them since I'm already greedy.
Get off your high horse dude... Maybe your politician would rather hear your rant.

btw... "jaysapathy" what is the difference between "breaking the rules" here, and "breaking the rules" with paypal and charging people fees who buy from you. Basically, you are forcing someone ELSE to lose.... twice. I would constitute that as "greedy" considering you are just looking out for yourself.

There's a biiiiig difference between compensating for credit card fees and being greedy with free stuff. You're the type that whines every time you have to pay taxes on a purchase, aren't you?
The contest isn't set up so people can mooch it dry and then profit from it. It disgusts me to see people winning 8+ gamepacks and bitching because EB/GameStop doesn't give anything for them. That's pathetic. If you're being honest and keeping one gamepack/VIP code/whatever and giving the rest away, more power to you. Anything more than what you're entitled to (in this case, one) is being greedy and makes you no better than the slickdeals people. It's a very black and white point, but I'm sure you'll try to argue it.

Hey J... I know you just said not to ask for handouts, lol...but.
I played this game for the past 3 weeks - every day - 30min-2 hour sessions and I only won 300 microsoft points. I gave them away on GameFAQs. In contests.
But, hey, all I wanted to win was a gamepack, because I'd seriously love to play Forza 2. I'm just sort of low on cash these days, haha.
So yeah, sorry for looking like a beggar, but if you have a spare pack, or even just Forza 2 - it'd be put to good use here! I'll give you my Gamertag for proof that I won't trade it in right away, haha. Anyways, RIP Tropicana.

You do know that charging people for those paypal fees is completely illegal, right? There's not question about it, it's illegal.
I have read the Tropicana rules, and no where does it say that creating multiple accounts is not allowed.
Basically you assume that anyone who has one 2 gamepacks is a "greedy bastard". You yourself have won at least 2 gamepacks. People have devoted time and effort into this contest and deserve to be rewarded.
Granted some people may abuse it to the extent of "hoarding" by winning a fair amount and not sharing any of it. It's simple to understand why people do not share the VIPs, they are worth too much money to be given away. But I see people giving away gamepacks, faceplates, and MS Points left and right. The generosity is outstanding.
Furthermore, who are you to be one to decide how much we are entitled to? Do you know all our financial backgrounds? " The contest isn't set up so people can mooch it dry and then profit from it." Of course the contest is going to be "mooched dry", because that's the way Tropicana wants it. They don't want excess prizes laying around, Tropicana set-up this sweepstakes for publicity, and this is what they're getting. I'm sure they've alloted enough prizes on certain days so that there is an even through throughout the contest period.
You may be sick of people "being greedy", well I'm sick of you and all your negative views. Everytime I see you post it's either to post something bad about someone or talk about hoarding. Grow up, life goes on.

I haven't won a single gamepack. I've won a faceplate and 200 points.
As far as the rest of your blather, whether you like it or not, it really is black and white. Taking more than what you're entitled to is greed. Argue it all you like. Nobody needs two gamepacks or two VIPs. I can forgive the MS points and faceplate abuse, because they are being handed out quite frequently, but you just don't see people giving gamepacks away. Just bitching because EB isn't giving as much as they used to for them.
Being "grown up" comes with responsibility. I appear to be one of the few taking mine seriously.

In regards to the paypal fees being an infringement on their policy.
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/ua/policy_spp
Surcharging for any PayPal payment is prohibited outside of the U.K. For a transaction to be eligible for the Seller Protection Policy within the U.K., the buyer may not be surcharged.
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/ua/policy_payments
No Surcharges. Under Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express regulations and the laws of several states, including California, merchants may not charge a fee to the buyer for accepting credit card payments (often called a "surcharge"). You agree that you will not impose a surcharge or any other fee for accepting PayPal as payment.
"I haven't won a single gamepack."
Do you really need more than one copy of a game? You know, I don't think so. What it really comes down to is how can you profit from it? "Oooh, I'll profit from this.." I could probably have won 3-4, but I got one gamepack, and I'm fine with that. I'm sure I could trade them into GameStop, or selll them on Craigslist, but I'm happy with what I have. I'm sorry you don't agree, but don't get mad when people accuse you of hoarding. Because that's exactly what you're doing. Save some for everybody else.
Jay
In regards to your last paragraph.
I repeat myself, who are you to determine what someone is entitled to? You can't say that nobody needs two gamepacks or VIPs. Possibly someone is giving one as a gift for the holidays. Possibly they are donating one to charity like JBlade00.
I can't account for your own experiences, but I have seen many gamepacks given away. Contrary to your own beliefs, there are good people in this world.
MS Points and faceplate abuse, huh? As I've said before, Tropicana is all about publicity. They give us these products for publicity. The contest is no harder to win due to people are playing a lot. If everyone who entered only entered once, we would have the exact same odds that we have now. I would put money on the fact that Tropicana spaces out the prizes evenly, in order for them to last until February.

Go sell a gamepack or something.
greed:
An excessive desire to acquire or possess more than what one needs or deserves, especially with respect to material wealth
Well, according to how many hours I have put into this game... I damn well deserve to keep everything I have won (which I have not, I have already given out 2 gamepacks, plenty of ms points and a ton of faceplates... and continue to do so.)
deserve:
deserve - be worthy or deserving; "You deserve a promotion after all the hard work you have done"
I would say that sitting in front of a computer for 7 hours in a day (yes I did it once when I won my first vip) "deserves" to win stuff... I consider it "work" because I am profiting from endless "data entry". I'm really sorry that you feel that you need to badger people about their "winnings" I really hope you feel better about yourself. As for taxes, the only time I whine is when I have to cut a $6K check to the IRS in april. I guess you don't consider your legislature greedy, otherwise you might put your unnecessary antagonistic "arguments" to better use. But instead you are stuck here "wasting" them on us "greedy" folk....
Also, trying to justify the paypal crap is just as bad or WORSE than what we are doing...
hypocrite:
a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings
Figure it out dude, no one here cares about your illegitimate complaints. You are a black sheep among people who don't care. And even if we did, we wouldn't be taking advice from such a "self-important" go-getter like yourself.

Doesnt work for me either. I keep getting sent to the homepage after i enter stuff
you have to use the gmail+1@gmail.com, gmail+2@gmail.com trick... use a 1 digit password... don't change the username... ALWAYS use register... always hit back twice
Just so Im clear, you always register a new account, never reusing an old one?
I created a bunch of accounts and just reused them. Problem is the web site gets all funky at times if you dont "properly" logout. After I entered the captcha, it took me back to the initial window and then acted like I already played. I never found out if I won or not (odds are I didnt) and I never got even the reused 48 hour live code.
(edit) looks like Im not the only one having a problem. This web site is uber buggy and weird. I can log in but the site still asks me to "sign in". I remember I set up an account with a legit email address of mine and it would never, ever, ever take it. I registed it 10 times.

Ah, of course, it spits out prizes like crazy while I'm in calculus class. Go figure.
Ah well, I still got 1 faceplate, 1 gamepack, and 1000 MS points, so I'm pretty satisfied. I would like some more MS points though, Rock Band is going to eat them like crazy once I can find a copy.

Ouch! That sucks. I just got out of class and checked and I won. Then I kept winning. It was hella good luck, because my teacher let me out before he normally does, and it was perfect timing I guess. I'm pretty happy, but I wish I had opened more tabs and maximized my winnings :rofl:

UnderArmor
12-04-2007, 08:27 PM
You should see it when its loading Does it say IWGameDisplay some where in there... or IWPrizeDisplay? Or nothing. If anything, copy the URL, and see what happens. You also can't win the Grand Prize thru the IW Game. You actually have to buy the drink. EDIT: 2 Faceplates left....LOL its hard to give these things away for FREE :lol:

Definitly not patience. I feel boredom. But theres also the addiction of seeing the white flash! I love it! BTW lol, I don't know why I'm asking, but can someone give me 100 MS Points, because I need one more for 2000, and I'm taking a break from this game, and I want to give some to my brother for Christmas. He'll be pretty excited with 2000 Points, and 2 games. He might be a little mad about the faceplate though :rofl:

I just did this for the 1000th time. So far I've won once, at try 260, a 100 point coupon. Since I already had 200 points from buying the 12 Year Live + Vision Cam pack this means I need 100 points to get a game. I am getting frustrated at all this losing. At least I have 2000 days of Live Gold.
