CAGiversary!
This is a NOW WIKIFIED continuation of the older thread by cmp2005. I will try to keep this as updated as possible, with the help of CAG to edit the OP and keep it updated.

Required format for new contest submissions:

So I know it goes to 10/23, but I'm wondering if anyone else is not getting any response from the Fiesta one when they text in, and if anyone who hasn't been getting a response when they enter has actually won. Just wondering if it's worth my time. I have US Cellular and so does my dad and it isn't working on either. Maybe I'll have my sister try from AT&T and see if that gets a response. Thanks if anyone can shed some light.

Also, thanks for taking over the thread (making a new one). These contest are magic I tell you.

I enter daily (AT&T) and always get a fast response, same goes for T-Mobile.
 
Glad to see Fiesta is still going, though it doesnt look like im gonna win that one twice @_@. (Took almost 3 weeks for my first win)

Thanks for updating
 
Why is Wrigley's 5 React Gum (GMR Marketing) still up there? It ended on 9/26 from what is listed and you made your post on 9/28. Is it because prizes aren't awarded till 10/4?

[quote name='gryphter']@BudzMcGee I get a response from Fiesta within 30 seconds after entering everyday including just right now, I have Verizon.[/QUOTE]

Thanks for responding. I've never had a problem in the past with these contest but maybe for some reason this promotion and US Cellular aren't on the same page.
 
[quote name='helluvagood']any of these text to win contests for Canadians?[/QUOTE]

Interesting to note is that The Event (GMR Marketing) was supposed to end yesterday, but I texted them about 20 minutes ago and they responded that I was entered . . .

Is anyone getting the bounce-back confirmation message from this, I'm not getting a reply:whistle2:k
 
Just tried the new one, no response so far...

Suggestion for the OP. Since there has been a greater number of text contest lately where we can enter for a while and then at a later date there is a prize (i.e. The Event) maybe section it off at the bottom so that we keep those listed as a reference/easy way to keep track of when the contest actually will announce winners. Just an idea.

Some of the more recent contest have had entry periods that, like "The Event" contest which end at a specific date (in the case of the Event the last day to send a text and enter was 9/30). The actual day they announce winners is later, again for "The Event" I believe it is 10/11. What I'm suggesting is that when a contest of this type is no longer accepting entries, but the prizes have yet to be rewarded, it get moved down to a "separated" part of the OP so that a). we can keep track of when the prizes are supposed to be rewarded, and b). by moving it to the bottom people will hopefully realize that they can't enter any more.

Example:

Fiesta (Velti, Inc.)
- July 26, 2010 to October 23, 2010
- 400 MSP (x 900) (10 awarded daily)
- 1 entry per person per day

- Text "The Event", "TheEvent", "Chase" or "Xbox" to 70734
 
To add to my last post, the main reason I brought this up is because today I spent about 10 minutes looking up the old thread to see when this contest was awarding prizes:

Wrigley's 5 React Gum (GMR Marketing)
- August 2, 2010 to September 26, 2010
- 1 entry per person per day
- 1600 MSP (x 100) & 1 grand prize (all awarded 10/4)

- email (see rules for specifics)

^^^^To anyone just scanning, the contest above is dead^^^^
 
Ended up trying to Fiesta one from my sister's AT&T phone and it worked. First contest that US Cellular failed me on. :( Just have to try and win from my sister's phone this time.
 
[quote name='Captain Urahara']Maybe they just aren't supposed to text back? Kind of strange, but plausible.[/QUOTE]
The official rules state that there is supposed to be a response text.

[quote name='rules']Each text entry will be acknowledged by a bounce-back text message and entry by text constitutes your agreement to receive the bounce-back text messages and, if applicable, text messages and/or calls for prize notification. [/quote]


I didn't get one either.
 
[quote name='iiinightmar3ii']Well this is very strange. I haven't texted fiesta since 9-10 and today I get a text saying I won another 400 points. Cool.[/QUOTE]

Yep, that's because each day you don't win, your non-winning entries go into the drawing for the next day.
 
I just got a free Redbox rental code that expires midnight tonight from entering their bluray text to win contest last month or whenever it was. I don't use Redbox since I have a Netflix account, anybody want it? First to PM me gets it, the wording is:

From: 30881
Redbox free code:
XXXXXXXXX ONLY 1 USE. Expires 10/4/10 11:59PM CST. Gone 2 http://$$$$$$$/redbox1 4a chance 2win free rentals 4a yr yet? HELP 4info. Txt STOP 2end
 
i got one of those too when i was entering the BLU sweeps, but i don't use redbox and wouldn't know where to find one on such short notice, as they only give you a day after they send the code to redeem it, from what it looks like...
ditto on the fiesta contest, i use virgin mobile, and lately, i haven't been getting the bounceback texts, though i always get one from the event...

So after sending the Fiesta text twice from my sisters AT&T phone (after it wouldn't work on mine), won a code! Heh, I'll be sending that one in daily now...
 
I won 3x from FIESTA, about every other week, with an entry every day since I started. Nothing for about 2 weeks now though. And nothing at all from JCP or The Event one (which I guess is over)
