This is strange, for some reason after a while the links go all crazy if you click it as is. You're going to have to actually type it in and not just click it.

I noticed something click.linksynergy.com shows up and that makes it all wonky.

So the initial links did work...but I guess after a bit they just go crazy. Don't know why that is. So to avoid any confusion just type it out "gamestop.com/sweepstakes" do not actually click on these links until this problem is fixed.
 
u know why its like that? its because cheapyd made it referrals or something like that. so he gets the credit. thats how ppl roll.
 
bread's done
