I actually played this the other day and completely forgot about it and to even post it. My baaaad. Anyway, only thing that sucks is you have to enter in all that information every time you play. Lame, but still sweet if you manage to win.
 
Play as many times as you want with this code:

6110724125809126

Unfortunately all I have won are the wallpapers and one month of XBL.

Thanks for sharing!
I just won the wallpaper, which is about as exciting as winning nothing. Still, I'll keep trying.

Cheers.
 
wow,
wont a free month with when asking for a code and another free month with that cope a few posts up. awesome to all of you.
 
[quote name='r3dreck']Not as good as COD:MW2 sweeps but I'll keep trying, I won a TON of free months and free points with that one.[/QUOTE]

Do they email you a token or do they ship you a card?
 
[quote name='T9X69']Do they email you a token or do they ship you a card?[/QUOTE]
Which? The COD one? I got emails with the codes... this not sure yet to win.
 
[quote name='r3dreck']Which? The COD one? I got emails with the codes... this not sure yet to win.[/QUOTE]

Yeah. I'm assuming they'll do the same with this one as well. Thanks.
 
[quote name='Topnotch1083']I never got a code on my pre-order receipt.. what's up with that!?[/QUOTE]
Depends on when you did it. I preordered way back when the Epic Edition was first announced so I didn't get one either. If you didn't get one, you can request one by entering the email and phone number associated with your preorder.
 
Thanks OP, tried yesterday and today and all I got so far was wallpaper. Guess I'll keep trying if I can remember it.
 
According to the rules, you can enter this contest twice a day. I didn't realize that until today. The OP states one entry per person per day. This is WRONG. Here's a copy/paste from the rules:

To Enter Online: Visit www.gamestop.com/gearsofwar3 and complete all required fields on the online entry form. When prompted to provide your Gears of War 3 pre-order number, click the “Need a Code” link and input your e-mail address and phone number when prompted to do so. A pre-order code number will be provided to you immediately. This pre-order code can then be used to enter Sweepstakes as outlined above in “Pre-Order Transaction Online” and you will receive one (1) entry into Sweepstakes. This one pre-order number can be used two (2) times each day during the Sweepstakes Period for the maximum allowable total of one-hundred and eight (108) entries during Sweepstakes Period. Entrant does not need to make any purchases to enter Sweepstakes via this entry method. If entrant is a GameStop® PowerUp Rewards member, they will receive two (2) entries each time they enter via this method, if they include their GameStop® PowerUp Rewards number, in addition to their pre-order number, on the online entry form each time they enter via this entry method, for the same maximum allowable total of one-hundred and eight (108) entries during the Sweepstakes Period.

By the way, this morning I won (on the wheel) a free month of XBL Gold.
 
[quote name='BlazeP']How do you get a powerup rewards number?[/QUOTE]

Can't help you there, I"m not a member of that program. You don't have to be a member to play the game. It just gives you an extra entry each time. I really doubt those extra entries will make much of a difference (kind of like buying a second lotto ticket).

When I leave that part blank, it says the verification code you entered is incorrect.
 
[quote name='BlazeP']When I leave that part blank, it says the verification code you entered is incorrect.[/QUOTE]

The verification code is the code you have to enter to prove you're not a robot. It's a bunch of letters and numbers. You have to make sure you're using capital letters on this one.
 
[quote name='r3dreck']Submitting your info each time sucks... why couldn't they just do a logon and go like every other contest.[/QUOTE]

Yeah you know what else sucks? The tab button doesn't work so you can't tab between items. You have to click with your mouse.

ya noticed that as well...

Fill out your info before you request a code, the tab stops working if you request the code first.
 
[quote name='EeveeFanboy']Entered all the info and got to the spinning cog, but it wouldn't actually spin... Strange.[/QUOTE]

You have to press a button then it shows the cog much bigger with 'spin' on it. Click that and it goes. Maybe try a different web browser?

To help explain how you can enter twice:
You can use the need-a-code option to get two different pre-order codes using the same information. You can then enter the contest twice a day using the same mailing info; once with each code. You could do this more then twice, but the rules say . This is completely legal and requires no purchase. Of course, you still don't have good odds of winning the real drawing; hope you like wallpapers.

I don't expect to win the drawing of course. I don't care for the wallpaper but I did win a free month of XBL Gold (as previously stated) on the cog so that's a decent prize.
 
Managed to win a gift card, so I should be getting that six years from now. I was going to stop playing, but landing on that gift card made me want to go for a little more in the hopes of it landing on a month of LIVE.
 
Has anyone won a daily prize yet or are all the prizes going to be rewarded on the same day? Just wondering.
 
Is the site working for anyone else? I'm not sure when the contest ends but the webpage where you normally enter your info is just showing up blank for me in IE9 and Firefox6...:cry:
