Doritos/Aramark XBox Contest (US Only, Tropicana Trick Works?)

[Charron]

www.doritos-aramark.com

Ends Dec. 2, 2007

I only tried twice because I'm busy, but I did two runs with the exact same data, except the e-mail, and it let both go through. (They both lost, but still.) Your code is semi-unique; there are 4, one for each region of the US. But you can get it free on the site. Looks like they'd be tighter than Tropicana, though, so you probably won't be able to get 20+ games.

Upon submitting your Promotion Code, (a) the Website will immediately notify you as to whether or not you are a potential winner of an Instant-Win Prize and (b) you will be entered into the random drawing for the Grand Prize (collectively, both [a] and constitute a “Play”). You may also receive a free Promotion Code online without making a purchase by clicking on the Promotion Code request link on the Website. Limit one (1) Play/entry per person per day during the Sweepstakes Period. Limit one (1) Instant-Win Prize per household. Limit one (1) Grand Prize per household. If you receive a winning Instant-Win Prize message, you win the stated prize (subject to verification) and will be immediately notified online. You may still come back each day to play, however, you will receive a non-winning Instant-Win Prize message but will continue to receive entries into the Grand Prize drawing. If you receive a non-winning Instant-Win Prize message, you are not a winner of an Instant-Win Prize, however, you will be entered into the Grand Prize drawing.
[B]
4. PRIZES AND APPROXIMATE RETAIL VALUES: Ten (10) Grand Prizes: Microsoft® Xbox 360™ System. Approximate Retail Value (ARV): $410 each.

Two Hundred and Fifty (250) Second Prizes: A Black DORITOS® Unlock Xbox T-Shirt. Available sizes: Large or X-Large. Winner may request a certain size, however, Sponsor reserves the right to the final determination of the T-shirt size to be awarded. ARV $4.99 each. Odds of winning an Instant-Win prize depend upon the number of eligible entrants participating and the time in which they participate. Unclaimed Instant-Win Prizes will not be awarded. Total ARV of all prizes is: $11,340.

[CouRageouS]

My code was NACHO :lol:

[Dragon_Master]

Entered twice both times the code was Nacho for me and both times I got the same bags of chips showing.

Well, the code should be the same, but the images part is a little questionable. I dunno, hopefully it works for someone.

[georox]

Entry 7 or so got me the shirt so it does work, kinda.

[darkchaostitan]

I'm curious, at any given point in time does it reqiere an email verification?
Edit: also is the 3 dorito bags picture the same for every time you don't win?
Edit2: This is also very annoying, I've entered about 10-15 times and not gotten anything.

It's a contest and we're manipulating it, there really isn't any room for complaining here.

[Dragon_Master]

I entered 3 times with different emails and each time I lost and the bags were the same. first bag was a red bag of doritos, second bag was a blue bag of doritos, third was a red bag of doritos.

All my loss where that way to, I think my win had 3 blue bags, not sure.

[Patriot]

I tried 5 times and last all of 'em...

[IXI Dragunz IXI]

The tropicana trick doesn't work.

[Postman]

It works its just less prizes like that Paypal one.

[KiLL3r]

I tried 5 times and last all of 'em...

:lol: I "last" too, Thanks Op

[Charron]

Well, becuz is saying it did work, so perhaps the very thin prize distribution is why it seems like it doesn't work.


I dunno. I'm still focusing on the Tropicana one, but this might reap some rewards for somebody.

[Marion517]

Hey, thanks for the heads up, OP. Anyone know how to keep the browser from resizing in Mozilla Firefox?

[masterofdarkness]

Thanks :)

[Dragon_Master]

I tried 3 more times today with no luck.

IDK it does it in internet explorer as well

[Redeema]

I won a shirt on my first try! I really am a winner! Thanks OP. One prize per household, so don't think that you're going to be able to get all kinds of prizes from them like with the Tropicana contest.

[becuzimbrown]

so....does the tropicana trick work?

i tried about 20 times with no luck and keep getting 2 red bags and 1 blue bag in the middle

[masterofdarkness]

same here, I tried it yesterday..

[menchirox]

I've been entering for 4 days now and i just won...3 blue bags in a row equals 1 shirt! YAY! :D

[FoxHoundADAM]

So is the only prize a shirt? If so count me out.

[shinryuu]

So is the only prize a shirt? If so count me out.
Grand Prize (10) is an Xbox 360, First place prize is a Xbox 360 video game (150) worth around 40, meaning it's probably a Greatest Hits game? =p It doesn't take too long to read the FIRST page.:D

[Dragon_Master]

I finally won a T-shirt wooo hoo!

[Marion517]

I finally won a T-shirt wooo hoo!

Congrats! So, was your code still Nacho?

[Dragon_Master]

Congrats! So, was your code still Nacho?


yeah the code was still nacho I tried 9 times before I won

[becuzimbrown]

i tried over 100 times and i still cant win!!!

what information did you change?

[Dragon_Master]

I used 3 different emails and I changed the name but left the address the same. (I used my brothers names) I tried once a day for each email and today I won and it said they were sending me a verification to my email.

[Dhuk]

withthe doritos contests, you usually don't wanna screw around. They'll DQ you if they find out you've been using multiple accounts. Plus the send a confirm e-mail when you win.

[Scar v2]

Just won a t shirt on my first try!

[jennyfur]

I won a t-shirt on my second try! (entered once per day)
Yay!

LOL, I'll put it with my Dunkin' Donuts coolatta t-shirt that I won in that contest. Dammit, why can't I ever win big stuff? Hehe.

[CYRiX]

Well first try, won a 360 game, but then I click next and it just says they email me with 1-2 weeks. (I guess to verify). Guess I won't have to be entering multiple times :D Also didn't let me choose what game I wanted.

[emperor922]

thanks OP won the 360 game on my 1st try but does anyone know how long it takes for them to verify

[EmpyreanKnight]

I got the shirt on my first try, but might as well try some more.

For those who have one games, did you use the nacho code and also what color were the bags of doritos for the winning try. Also after having read the rules I found this
Obtain a Promotion Code from advertisements posted on vending machines carrying DORITOS® brand products; available at participating locations during the Sweepstakes Period.
Anyone seen any of these different codes around?

[brianmoy]

I won a T-shirt on my first entry. Cool!

the bags were red and i did use the nacho code

[blackbird3216]

For those of us that don't know, what's this so called "tropicana trick"?

[FireUltima]

Thanks OP!
Won a 360 title on my 2nd try.

[Charron]

For those of us that don't know, what's this so called "tropicana trick"?

Adding +### (any numbers work) between your name and the @gmail.com part of your email. Or, just signing up over and over with multiple emails. But the gmail trick lets you do hundreds of entries. No idea if it works on other webmail services, but it's easy to get a throwaway gmail account.

[mguiddy]

I did it and it said I won "a Microsoft XBox 360 title!
(Pending verification)"

:roll:

Code was nacho and the bags were red.

What kind of verification I wonder.

[Patriot]

The site doesn't let you use a + sign in the email...

[Marion517]

Got a t-shirt with all blue bags. S'cool, thanks a lot OP!

[kensterdotnet]

The site doesn't let you use a + sign in the email... You actually add a number to the email address.... you don't put the plus sign.:roll:

[Patriot]

You actually add a number to the email address.... you don't put the plus sign.:roll:
It's not working for me :p. It works with the + sign though... (tried from outlook)

It may be because my gmail ends in numbers anyway?

[becuzimbrown]

i cant win!

i tried 40 more times, and still no luck

[darkchaostitan]

You actually add a number to the email address.... you don't put the plus sign.:roll:
Wait doesn't that mean someone else could hold idk darkchaostitan123@gmail
or something then I wouldn't be able to get the prize for the verification, or does gmail use a different appending system... I think I get the idea where appending different numbers on the end of the name will get you the same gmail account but a different entry, I just need to know if that's correct
Thx

[Dragon_Master]

ive tried about 12 more times with no luck

[darkchaostitan]

It could be considered that since the prizes are limited and high in quality(360 title, Xbox 360, etc.), that there would be a much wider ratio. Yet I cannot even get a T-Shirt, I mean that's free adverising and they're reluctant to give that out.

[h0mi]

Grrr I cant even get the game to work for me with my real email address (1 of them). I press play and it does nothing. This is strange. I tried in 3 different browsers, I dont even think my account "took".

[CYRiX]

Anyone else get a response from this contest after they won a game?

[mguiddy]

Anyone else get a response from this contest after they won a game?

Not yet...
I'd love to know what title it is.

[CYRiX]

This is really getting annoying, its been like a week and no email.

[h0mi]

This game is odd. If you've already played, it doesn't tell you that, and it likes to resize my firefox browser which is really aggravating.

I managed to get 3 blue bags in a row but I dont remember the account I used to win. (ive registered 3 legit emails).

[Vanilla Gorilla]

Has anyone heard anything on this contest? I won one of the games but haven't seen it or heard anything about it yet.

[mguiddy]

When I saw this was bumped I was hoping someone was saying they received an email.

[$hady]

Got my email cant wait for my horse!

[mguiddy]

Got my email cant wait for my horse!

You won a horse!:bouncy:

[Leek]

Lulz. I've heard alot of people are winning on their 1st tries. And the game you win is Kameo :(

[Metalic]

Played it 100 times and no wins. the bags not ever changing really annoys me for some reason lol.

[mguiddy]

Lulz. I've heard alot of people are winning on their 1st tries. And the game you win is Kameo :(

People have actually gotten their prize?

Any details as to how long it takes to be contacted?

[Metalic]

Mmm i would love to win Kameo. Yea im too cheap to pay $20 for it!

[Leek]

Lol it's $14.99 at Gamestop, $8 if you use B2G1F they contact you through email, and I saw people on SlickDeals saying they got Kameo

[mguiddy]

Wow...
The game (Kameo, surprisingly non PH) I won from this came today. I was shocked. The never contacted me and unless I'm mistaken, didn't ask for any info, except for email, when I won.

This makes the second time I've been a bit weirded out by the amount of info companies can get about me (from my email:shock:, it's not an ISP account either).

The first time Microsoft found out where I lived to send me the Asheron's Call beta. I moved after I signed up and didn't file a change of address with USPS or anything, it just showed up at my door.

[Tricky]

I got the shirt that I won in the mail yesterday.

[georox]

The shirt is fail. :( I don't like mine.

[Redeema]

So, there's hope for my shirt still then? Something new to sleep in, righteous!

Edit: It showed up in the mail today. Perfect...to sleep in or for insulting comic dogs to poop on. Take your pick.

[Dragon_Master]

got my shirt in its looks all right. I wouldnt have paid for it but for free I will take it
