0 for a lot, probably 20ish. When does it roll over? The rules say that it starts at midnight EST, which means that usually that's the rollover for the next day, but it's 9:30PM PST and it hasn't rolled over yet.
 
I assume this contest means that Coinstar doesn't take away from your change total anymore? I have like $50 in change that I was going to roll up and take to the bank, but coinstar would be alot faster.
 
[quote name='lilredvampy']coinstar does free if you get a e card with your change.
thanks op i am in[/quote]

Depends if your coinstar machine offers that, mine only does about 6 various gcs, which is fine by me when I get amazon.
 
[quote name='stupidxaznxboi']No one's won anything yet? I'm 0/30.. trying at random times throughout the day.[/quote]

How is this contest exploitable?
 
Tried, I didn't win. I'll try again tomorrow though. Thanks OP!

BTW, how is this expoitable?

EDIT: LOL! OK, got it now. 0/4, gotta find the rest of my fake emails. :D

Think Pepsi, you'll come up with the answer. I'm like 0/50 by now. I already forgot what emails I used and didn't use, plus I'm too lazy to put time into this one with the Coke thing like it is, so I'm not doing nearly as many entries as I could be.

Seen that one a lot. It usually never comes to anything.
 
[quote name='ohram']Seen that one a lot. It usually never comes to anything.[/quote]Why would anyone want to commit fraud in the first place...much less advertise their stupidity?

I'm sure these companies and contest organizers technically have enough to prove the activity, but it's not worth the cost of litigation.

Still, it doesn't give folks the right to openly flaunt illegal activity in so many of these contest threads.

It promotes a culture of irresponsibility, and CAG shouldn't be about that. If you can't discuss fraud in the Live Search Club thread, I have no idea why it wouldn't apply to the "lesser" threads.

No offense to you personally, but it's sincerely lame to encourage people to cheat, albeit in a mildly passive fashion.

No offense taken, I'm not even entering this contest.
 
[quote name='ohram']No offense taken, I'm not even entering this contest.[/quote]Thanks. I felt bad, because of your Kingpin avi. How could I get angry at that :lol:

Randy Quaid was hilarious in that movie.

This is run by Eprize, though. Eprize will shut your account down so fast your head will spin if you so much as sneeze wrong, let alone cheat.
 
[quote name='stupidxaznxboi']Lol, is that Michael Phelps in your avatar?[/quote]


yes and if you click my profile there is another avatar it was hard to make it good quality at only 20kb :D

I've been playing this for a couple months. I won an $10 iTunes card a few weeks back and it came in the mail a month or two later. I gave it to my friend as I'm a Zune guy (plus, he gave me a free 360)
 
Instant Win Game: One thousand five hundred twenty-five (1,525) random, computer-generated winning times, one for each prize listed below, will be generated during the Promotion Period. At least two (2) winning times for the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Prizes will be generated each day during the Promotion Period. If you are the first player to play the Instant Win Game at or after one of the randomly generated times, you will be a potential instant winner of the prize indicated.

It's like the Red Baron contest. You have to be there at the right time.
