Publishers Clearing House Reviews

I enjoy playing PCH. But I found that the end dates changed on two online sweepstakes. The dream house and the million dollar plus bonus. I have a copy of the sweepstakes facts that say the end dates were 12/31/18. Now they are 12/31/19. When I called and emailed, I was given vague answers. I was under the assumption that end dates cannot change. Is this common practice with PCH?

I am not sure the Publishers Clearing House "no purchase necessary to enter" is really free? I hope it is. I was prompted by several emails and have still not received a entry confirmation number. They keep saying you are almost done, prompting buy one more thing??? There was no option "click here" to enter free listed anyplace on their site. I seldom buy online and I rarely play games. I only wanted to try a free entry. I ended up ordering the least expensive item to continue with the entry process. I am not giving a bad review, only questioning the "free to enter" wording.

I started to fill out their form as many have mentioned thinking that it's 'free', well, it isn't as the site has some circular logic that prevents you from 'canceling' out of the program, after seeing that it forces you albeit surreptitiously to buy something anything before it let you go, I went back to the form and deleted my information - or so I thought despite this and my never completing their program have received a light bulb for $14.95 a with shipping of $5.99 and $1.83!!! This is beyond ridiculous, and highly unethical. As many have pointed out.

This entire thing is a scam. You enter follow all steps and then a final page as no options other than entering a game etc. You then wonder where you go as no other buttons exist to finalize? You check out and the next day you get another email telling you're not finished, on and on and on... all while saying no purchase necessary. No credibility at all, this has become a behavioral reinforcement scam to keep you performing over and over in the hopes you will give in and take in offer.

I am amazed that Publisher's Clearing House is permitted to continue to operate the way it does. I decided to enter...why not, I thought. Well, instead of magazines (I remember the old days)...they are offering a huge assortment of items, all of which you pay for in installments plus shipping. That is not the problem. I have followed all the directions, and every day I receive a message telling me that my entry is not complete (even though the previous day indicated that it had been submitted) and pleading with me to look one more time at the huge selection of items for sale. I have continued to do this to see if it ever ends, and so far it has not. (This began on January 1, 2019. Today is the 13th and I have received 27 email messages from PC). I I am not sure I will ever receive an actual number, and I am warning you...do not waste your time!

My 88 year old mother has thought for years she is going to win! She has spent thousands and thousands of dollars on the junk they sell. I told her many times not to waste her money on such junk...and just go to the Dollar store and buy the same type stuff. She said she had stopped, but I just intercepted a bill from PCH for over a thousand dollars! It's ridiculous! I'm not making this up! I can't believe it! But my Mother does!

They don’t deserve one star. I have purchased several items but they keep nagging with chronic emails with a slight threat...even though they say “purchase not necessary.” They use terminology that urges you to buy for a higher rating... Would lead you to think your chances are better if you buy one more item...over and over again. And the date for winning seems to be pushed up all the time. So done with this. It would be great to win but chances are highly unlikely.

Years ago I got so stressed with the numerous mailings from PCH that I wrote and asked them to discontinue spending mail to me. After doing some research, I realized that there was not any chance of me winning and even less than some because I am **. I checked the winners' zip codes against the demographics and it did not surprise me that next to no ** lived in the winning zip codes. The $5,000 a week winner was from Moro, Illinois where the population is 99.6% **. It is a shame that this company sends a mountain of mail to me knowing I would never, ever win. So, my request to PCH is to send your mail to those zip codes that you seek your winners.

I figured out I've been spending AT LEAST $10 a month postage on PCH entries - each entry telling me I need to make ONE MORE entry before I'll be in the latest drawing, and I'll be BETTER OFF buying $10 worth of LOTTO tickets monthly, which is EXACTLY what I'm going to do INSTEAD from now ON!

My mother-in-law died and I had to cancel all the nonsense she got herself involved with concerning PCH. Being of sound mind and ability, I can't begin to tell you how difficult it was. They kept sending packages even though I returned them without opening them and told them to close her account. They kept charging her for the packages I returned. I called them to stop sending those large packages of junk to her house. I had to call them three times to actually get them to stop. I have been on the phone numerous times to cancel the TV guide subscription which should be a HUGE refund.

I have entered for years, & never won a damn thing! No one I know has, either! They are fake, & want you to jump through their stupid hoops! They must know that I'm desperate for money???! Fake creeps! Shut them down! They deserve to be in prison!!

I got a package today of products that they offer. I didn't order it and I will not pay for what I didn't order. My husband said he didn't order them either. This is the second time this has happened. I hate it and will not enter their stupid contests ever again. I am miffed and will book no guff from them. I wonder how many other people are scammed by them like this. The package this time was 3 light bulbs and the full price for three bulbs is some 18.00. I can get these very bulbs for 4 dollars at my local Dollar General or Family Dollar store. I am a frugal person and would never order lame bulbs like this. In fact I have better ones I bought at the Family Dollar and they are LED. Much better of a energy saving light bulb. They send you merchandise and think they can make you pay for it. Even though you didn't order it.

PCH is constantly bombarding me with opportunities to enter and win whatever their current millionaire scheme is. They claim their “no purchase” necessary to enter any given contest and yet when you attempt to do that, they continually bombard you with requests to please purchase something and reconsider all they have to offer with these products. And their continual email gets worse with each mailing stating you going to lose this wonderful opportunity to maybe win this contest if you ignore their emailings and don’t purchase something. It’s Bait and Switch plain and simple and they need to be put out of business by the regulators who oversee this stuff because you CANNOT enter to win ANY CONTEST WITHOUT making a purchase or subscribing to a magazine. They already were exposed for tossing out people’s entries a few years ago. Somebody please do something!!! It needs to Stop!!!

Awful site. They lure you in saying things like "search and win" or "instant win games". The only thing you do is bank tokens. All the emails they send about gaining more entries are cleverly disguised adware. You can search to win but once you search it gives you 250 tokens and doesn't even show you your supposed "entry". Instead you'll be shown a Google search result and a tiny picture saying something like "double entries".

So I had accumulated around 50 million tokens. It took me almost 5 years of playing all their games and I figured if I redeemed 50 million tokens all at once I would surely win. After all it took me 5 years of saving them. Surely no one else was going to spend that much in one shot right? Lo and behold I didn't win. Almost 20,000 entries on 1 gift card and I didn't win. I'm sorry but that's bs. It's rigged for sure.

I called day after I ordered something. I talked to a nice clerk. I gave her the two order numbers and my account number. I told her I wanted to cancel the two orders. She said the orders were cancelled. However, a week later I got 3 tins of cookies that were all damaged in into little pieces. Saw the same three tins at a Dollar Store for $1.00 each. I paid $17.20 for the cookies. I got an electric can opener that cost $30.44. Could have a working can opener for $14.00 at Walmart. To boot, the can opener doesn't work. I learned a valuable lesson. Don't order anything from these people. Their items are a big gip. Wish I had read these reviews before I ordered. They flood my email every day, although I have requested to unsubscribe.

I only started entering in the last few months. It is a tremendous amount of work and seems to have no real value. Just tokens, tokens, tokens... Out of pure curiosity I searched and searched for real winners online and can only find testimonials on the PCH blog... Feel like they are paying actors to accept the prize and it's not actually real. You would think with technology today we would be able to find true winners and their testimonials somewhere other than the PCH blog. I mean look at Facebook, you know when someone is at the convenience store buying a soda...

I started playing this because I wanted to reach out until the last stone. After a few months playing I received an order on the mail. I never ordered anything and I am very disappointed with them. I don't want you to sent me anything. Now, I'll have to sent it back and pay for something I never ordered. Don't play this games anymore, it's a scam. Deleting this app from my phone and blocking it from my email.

All of the people that have wrote in before me have said what I have said for years, it’s not right. They can tell you that you are the next big winner and send letters with your address and to make sure you put on a good show for them when they show up! If you are not home they will find me! I am 83 years old, I have been buying in to this crap for 60 years! So why has someone not done something about it, all the money people have spent that they can not afford is just not right, do something please!

I have participated in PCH mailings (snail mail and emails) for more than a decade. I have bought some things over time, but have not purchased anything for awhile. I started receiving People magazine although I never ordered it – something I believe PCH sent me since they have my address, enter me in numerous game. I have never won a dime with PCH.

My mother of 85 years old spent her entire life trying. Then I'm doing the same thing, cash in tokens nothing, enter every day on everything and nothing, just a rip off to get us to order. This is ridiculous and it's time I block this account and delete the app off my phone. I can't let my hopes of this to overcome my sanity. The only people winning are the ones we order crap from. So like everything else put there it's a ripoff.

I received an unsolicited call from PCH today. The guy introduced himself and asked if I was having a good day. I responded with, "I'm having a great day and I hope that you have a great day." As I'm about to hit the end call button, I hear a **-you. I guess PCH has a new approach to dealing with customers.

I placed an order this year, I thought the shipping and handling was a bit pricey. A customer service representative spoke to me like I was literally beneath her. She was the fifth person this year, who spoke with racial undertones. My account has been altered. Everyone says they don't see a change, but I did. They stick up for each other, they placed me on hold, and come back saying the exact same thing. They don't care. No one believes, this would happen at a establishment like this. This is not written out of anger, this is the God's honest truth.

I bought a DVD from PCH they charge high prices and real high shipping. I ordered a John Wayne DVD and they sent Red Skelton. I sent the bill back and told them and a copy of the bill that Had John Wayne on it. They sent a letter back and said, "We will send you another Red Skelton DVD." WHAT? Nobody probably ever WINS and what you see on TV are just paid people. I am through with these crooks and thieves. They say you can pay in payments but they sent me a letter and said they would charge me a late charge of $4.50.

Beware of PCH's promise to send you money when you win a simple scratch off for $5,000.00 or any contest you venture into. The headlines saying they have winners is bogus. After signing the entry as directed, placing in the proper envelope, mailing the entry before the due date to the correct address with my return address. I received no money after many searches for 7 years, calls and emails, they denied my claim and I told them they were frauds. Never send me mail again or email but they are relentless.

I entered my mother in for the "$2,000 a week for life" contest on PCH.com. A few weeks later, my mother starts getting phone calls and mail stating that she has won. My mother is elderly and believes every word of it. She first paid a "search fee" via mail. Then she was being hit up for "taxes" on the millions, the scammers want $1,200 paid to them upfront. I tell her and tell her it is a scam, but because she was entered in the PCH contest, she thinks it is real. This terrible company should be ASHAMED that they are scamming elderly people. They can try to pretend they are not in on the scams, but my mother does not get online and I am the one who entered her personal info in the "legitimate" site at PCH.com just prior to this mess starting. Nobody had my mother's private information except PCH. I think they may be selling information or have a side "business" of hustling elderly people out of their money.

I always get Publishers Clearing House info just to review. Well, this morning I actually selected a couple items and continued thru the process of submitted my entry and all of a sudden I had purchased the items without knowing how much shipping was or taxes. I tried calling, no one picks up on Sunday's, I tried to cancel online but requires that I have an account number which I do not get till my order comes. They say it's on all communications I get, not true. They also say they expedite orders... so by tomorrow not sure I will be able to cancel.

After 20 yrs. entering PCH and buying products I've had it. If anyone wins it is few and far between. Is there any way we can get together and sue this company for all the postage and time and effort we have put on to get nothing in return? Isn't this false advertising? I am so disappointed. Sometimes sending off 15 envelops where they each have a different address. Not anymore. I've had it with these phony people.

I have been mailing and playing more and more PCH games. I used to order for years but the items are very cheap for the money. They hook you in with the tokens to win a gift card. I tried for 5 years playing games and sending in my emails that would urgently say you better put in your entry or you may lose the big prize. We have less odds at PCH than at regular lotto scratch off or numbers. I have won 50 times 2 dollar, 15 4 dollar and 10,000 winning. PCH is a scam. Thank you for taking up hours of our lives just to play your scam apps. Unacceptable.

Hey. Mister ** called me and several other men saying that I won 7.5 million and a BMW but in order to claim this money I had to buy a money order or wire money from Walmart or go to my bank and get a receipt which costs 60 bucks or 70 bucks. I immediately thought it had to have been a scam so I just talked to the people like they thought they was getting me. One of the guys said, "You never have to pay money out to Publishers Clearing House" and then later on in the conversation he said that I had to pay the money to get the receipt for the claim.

I have been playing PCH online token games since August 2011. I won about $90 from 2011 to 2013. I only ever won on their Facebook pages. They no longer have any significant presence on Facebook and haven't since 2016. I can't prove it but I think Facebook diminished their presence. I'm currently running two web accounts. I only play games that pay out $100,000.00 or more. I use an ad blocker to kill their commercials and website posting ads. The practical upshot is it saves my bandwidth from unnecessary garbage downloaded and really saves time on hitting their games and then getting out.

I had a friend who passed away. Played PCH token game for years. He had 396 Million before he died. We used his tokens like he requested. All of them on gift cards. Did not win a thing. This is a SCAM!

I have been playing for about 12 yrs. haven't won a damn thing. I have tried to find out about big winners. Can't find out about the so called big prize. I don't think there is a big one. They just lead people on to buy their cheap ** products. They tell you no numbers match you could still win then all of a sudden it has expired **. I think it's all a BIG SCAM!!!

PCH is not allowed to run a scam of this magnitude. I have the same frustrations as most of you. I do believe there are loopholes that they use to avoid awarding prizes from their online games! I mean to play a game & then see the object you are tossing, throwing suddenly take a turn when it gets close to the goal-that's rigging! You don't have to order anything to win, that's actually against the law. So to you who are frustrated from ordering items, that isn't going to help you win. With this many complaints they should be thoroughly investigated or have the decency to respond themselves!

This so-called website is nothing more than a ploy to pawn off cheaply made and inferior merchandise at inflated prices; at even higher shipping costs. The games are, as I see them, programmed (rigged) by either very sophisticated software designed to award certain points at given times and virtually never give the player a chance at winning any actual money. There are times when a player even loses points because of their so-called "technical difficulties." That is pure hogwash. PCH management reminds me of carnival hawkers selling snake oil to unsuspecting people looking for a cure. In this case, they falsely raise hopes of the vast majority of their players with their silly games. The use of advertising is relentless, redundant and extremely repetitive creating, for me at least, a very negative attitude toward the advertiser.

I have been playing on the PCH website for a few years, racking up 26,000,000 tokens. I have turned the tokens in towards all kinds of merchandise from a $25 Amazon card to a Ford truck. All I have ever won was a lousy $10.00 check! They have sent me items I didn't order that I had to pay to ship back and all their anti-wrinkle creams make my face break out. Their merchandise is cheap and can be bought at Walmart for a lot less money. They prey on people's hopes and dash them at every turn. I get about ten emails a day from them saying I am so close to winning! Yeah, right.

I've been playing the online games for 2-3 years now. My token count is 90,000,000. Never won a dime, but $10.00. What a damn JOKE. PCH should be ashamed, what a SCAM. Read all the other reviews, looks like everyone fell into their devious traps. These games are rigged for no wins just TOKENS. Lol, PCH is a fond memory for me. I no longer receive their crazy emails or play any more games. Got better things to do with my precious time...

WOW: 30 million tokens, WINS (0). PCH goes up to 300 Million... can you imagine the time spend. For those at that level, you deserve to WIN but not from an addiction standpoint but from it being a hobby and fun. Good Luck to ALL.

It is ironic that I have been submitting entries since 1979. Since Ed McMahon, before he starred in Star Search, I was a fan of the postcards and PCH mailings. My father had seen that I was responding and told me that I had to be 18 years old in order to win. I told him one day I will be, until then I was going to continue to submit my entries in hopes they would recognize my name. Now it is 47 years later, I've earned over 1,000,000,000.00 tokens during my participation, to have had them taken mysteriously. I went from the platinum, down to a blue stone, yes this is a gimmick. PCH something has to give.

Been playing PCH 4 years, they were formed in 1954 but didn't pay any money for 17 years. They average paying 2 million per year, so figure the millions playing versus millions they promise, don't add up. A good example is the Ford truck, ever hear or see it posted won, the houses you are suppose to win, have you saw or heard anyone posted on PCH website that won? They announced in a small town 30 miles from my home, I worked for a utility company, PCH showed a winner of 1,000,000 dollars, even announced the florist they bought her flowers from, I went to florist shop, owner said he knew nothing about PCH and they hadn't been in his shop. I searched our utility records for someone by the name posted, never found anyone by that name.

NEVER won a THIN DIME! EVER! I started out as a teenager, filling out my Mom's entries. I had it down to a fine art, and could do it in less than a minute! It was the same every time. NOW, I get at least TWO emails per day, and do my searches, and quickly scroll down to fill it out in less than a minute. It too, is always the same. I scroll down so fast, I only see a blur of the products. Lol. I also use the tokens and have used MILLIONS on one thing, a Canon camera I want. To date, NEVER won a SINGLE thing. I hate it!

PCH requires you to do too much clicking on their gameplay, such as click on "play now" then 'reveal now" or clicking on "begin" then "reveal" and "continue" after each game. And they want you to do this for each and every game you play. It's a scam because a person won't spend 18 hours a day on their site and then make you look through the products they want you to buy. It's just a ploy to get your money.

I play PCH all the time online, and I won four times, small amounts, not any major sweepstakes yet, but I wish, first time I won $50, then $20, then $250 then $10. And if you got asked to send money in order to receive a cash winning, then it wasnt PCH, your contents got into the wrong hands somewhere and some con artist is trying to rip you off. So take the word from someone who has took those PCH checks to Walmart and got them cashed, PCH is real.

Back in April of 2018 they sent me a email claiming I won the big prize only to see it was announced to someone else in Florida. They denied the email came from them even though it was sent from their website. I had an account with their webpage and I know now they are fake. A fraud who lied to me. I think the commercials we see on tv are paid actors pretending to win. I want nothing to do with that phony company ever again. They should be sued for phony advertising and sent to prison!

They keep sent me messages saying I'm going to be forfeited cuz I'm not trying and I've mailed in from the start to enter and every single time I try to play it cuts it off. I mean each time and just did while ago and said having technical problems. I'd have to try again. Not once have been able to play and even got the PCH app and it wouldn't ever work either. Thank you.

I have been playing their games for years, winning tokens. I have "redeemed" millions of tokens for gift cards, but won nothing. They bombard me with e-mail every day. I have stopped reading through those that show an ad, followed by another ad from which you can get a $30 "mystery gift" free, and pay only the shipping for that "gift". I never want those mystery gifts. They are puzzle magazines, very small, and not worth more than a dollar a piece. I hate word search puzzles. In these ads, you are reminded of the mystery gift offer, which means you have to click "no" twice - once to place no order, and again to decline the lousy mystery gift.

Seems to be no one to report a scam too. Suppose no one cares, that's why it keeps happening. Keep getting a scam call about Publishers Clearing House second place winner. The scammer's phone number is **. Robert **. Wants me to pay 1% of winning at a Walmart store. Then I will get a check. Never entered so I could not possibly win. Also I will not pay one cent to such a scam. If nothing else, tell other people about the scam. Thank you.

I have been entering the sweeps and trying to buy things with tokens for 6 years and nothing. If you go to the small print Official Rules, it contradicts itself... First it says: A limit of one online entry per day is allowed per individual and per email address for each separate online promotion unless otherwise specified. Then in the next paragraph it says: You may submit as many entries as you would like for this promotional Giveaway.

This is sort of a question about PCH but also a review... I've been on their website for a while and I had millions of tokens and decided, 'Might as well spend them on something'. So I literally wasted tons of tokens and entered for gift cards about 200 times each and I haven't won once... I'm seriously considering this is rigged. Am I right? Or am I wrong? I was wondering if anyone actually got anything from them... I do get the catalog though and mail from them and once they asked me for my security number and maybe it was someone else spamming me. But I really wish PCH was the real deal.

I happened to see a CD for the Drifters and the Platters with all of their greatest hits in PCH catalog pages so I ordered it. It arrived in a nice cover that says "The Drifters" on one side of the front cover and the "Platters" on the other side. I was all ready to send them a check when I decided to play one CD to make sure it was "really" them. When I opened the cover I saw 2 CDs that were blank except for the name of the group and a logo for "Direct Source" which apparently burns CDs for PCH. When I played it I knew immediately it WAS NOT the original group. Looking at the little window when the CD opens it said sung by Georges ** and Jimmy ** whoever they are!!

PCH is deceptive. You never win nothing but tokens. They send you tons of email everyday stating "Don't forfeit your prize of cash" whatever the amount is. So you have to click on it to enter. By then they are getting you to play all these games for cash but NONE of the games are cash prizes. ALL Of them are only tokens. Then you have to enter tokens for a chance to win a gift card. Variable gift cards with so many tokens you have to enter. You can enter all your tokens and never win. It is rigged.

PCH E-mails are disruptive and annoying, every day and almost every minute of every day there is some form of e-mail sent stating "YOU MUST DO THIS!", "DO THIS NOW!", "Immediate attention required!" or "Immediate action needed now!" or YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED for "x" prize mentioned in the e-mail. And no matter how many times you click on the offending action they want you to do, you then have to go through so many hoops. It's just not worth it, you end up wasting nothing but time you could be using for other activities, like cleaning your house, going out to lunch or a movie with family or friends, going to a mall, anything, but wasting time on game that you will never win!

I purchased an amethyst ring from them with the option of making monthly payments. I sent in my first payment way before the due date, and the next thing I knew, I was getting NASTY emails from them, saying my account was delinquent and I had better pay up!!! (My bank records proved they had received and cashed my check!) I quickly paid it off with my debit card and then they began to pressure me to buy more merchandise. NO WAY! I have unsubscribed unsuccessfully, so now I have marked them as spam. I am quite certain the whole thing is a joke and they are a disreputable company.

I wanted to alert other consumers and their families, especially for the elderly. This company will sent notices to entice purchasing under the guise of winning something. They will ship multiple substandard quality and over priced products for months and months. By the time a person realizes they have won nothing and now have a huge bill. Followed by a rude exchange with a supervisor. Shame on you PCH!

I have been on their mailing list now for thirty years. And bought all kinds of trash from them and never won A thing. There was A time I'm sure they sold my DNA to boulder county during the JonBenet Ramsey investigations.

I have 25 million tokens and not one win. You have better odds in some PCH prize categories with the Lottery. PCH is kind of fun and the site is professional. You just cannot get excited about winning. If you are looking to win as a means of income, etc. PCH is not the way to do it. Your time can be better spent in other potential areas.

Publishers Clearing House is just that... a clearing house for magazines and goods. Their primary objective is to sell stuff. If you go in knowing that, you will understand how they operate. Winning money is a come-on to generating sales. Keeping you coming back via hyped-up emails is their MO. If you think you might get lucky and actually win money well, let me advise you that you will probably do better by buying scratch-off tickets. I actually won a total of $350 from scratch-off tickets. As for pch.com, I received a check for $10 in the mail which covered the cost of a magazine I ordered.

I have been ordering PCH merchandise for about 3 years. I have found some things are cheap and break. However PCH has been great about refunding or replacing, if I call about something broken. Recently my friend broke his sunglasses he received from PCH. I called PCH and they replaced them for free! I like PCH. You just have to be selective on what you order!

I have been told that I have to buy things to be eligible to win in their current contest. I purchased goods 3 separate times. Now I am being told I have to buy again or I will be disqualified and unable to win in the current contest. I am not going to buy again! I have spent over $100. On goods. I think I should be qualified to win. What a scam!!! You see all of their wonderful T.V. commercials and believe they are a reputable company. They are not! What is happening in our country? Does everyone lie all of the time???

I have bought and played regularly games and sweepstakes for over 2 years, all I've won is a $10 gift cert, it's not the winning, it's the programming behind all of pch.com's stuff. Example if you land on $100 or ? You see it quickly jump to you won only tokens, no cash. It also trips you up constantly, trying to get you to buy or loose time. I recommend NYS to take a hidden sample look at the programming behind the whole deal. I know from using computers, you can set them up to make sure no one MUCH wins in NY, the sad part is I like the games, but knowing that it's not real hurts, help us consumers.

I have been playing for a little over ten years. And boy do they make you believe you are the next big winner. But I've finally caught on and noticed that we don't ever win. It's just like all the fake apps on marketplace. They get paid to keep our minds busy. Another brainwashed American citizen I have let myself become with dreams of the all American dream. I've become a slave to PCH... smh. Makes me wonder if they care about the hopes and dreams they are crushing.

I received an email saying I won $1,850,000.00 US dollars in their 2018 PCH giveaway and to send my details to them. This isn't the first time they sent me an email saying I won. I just never responded because I think it's fake and don't want to give out my information online. It would be nice to know that it was real and to have that kind of money or even have cause I've been playing for a while and still haven't received anything in the mail not even a phone call. I can't even get a happy birthday email. Shaking my head.

Ordered HGTV/House Beautiful magazine through Publishers Clearing House on Mar 8, 2018. It was for 20 issues at $25.96. I paid Publishers Clearing House via check when I received the bill on Mar 28 '18. To date, (3 1/2 months later) I have not received a single issue. Just got off the phone with Publishers Clearing House and talked with an agent (who seemed and sounded bewildered). My account shows paid in full but she could not explain to me why I have never received a single issue. She put me on hold for several minutes and then came back and gave me no explanation still as to why I have not received any issues. She said maybe the magazine only comes out once in a while... duh, it is monthly.

I make payments every month soon as I can. I also only get paid once a month. What do they think I am. I surely don't have a million dollars. I even pay more than what I'm to pay every month. They called me on June 6th 2018 and I made a higher payment than I had to. I was also promised that I would not be called again. But they call me 5 days later again. I was so upset that I was partly mad but crying. Doing this to me it affected my bipolar that I wished that I was dead. Because it's like who cares and keeps their word?

I've been playing Publishers Clearing House for 5 years and I still haven't won the sweepstakes and a downfall is I've been in this for a long time and I still haven't won anything but five bucks here. In there it says make we can make your dream come true but the sad part about all that is about time they make your dreams come true you pretty much have been real real old and that's not fair. It shouldn't take 10 years or longer than that just to win a sweepstakes.

I stayed up playing the game Keno for 24 hours and won it. I got a email from Publishers Clearing House saying that I won and I would get 400 dollars in 3 to 4 weeks but now they are saying that I violated the rules. They block me and won't pay me the money that I won. They won't tell me how and what rules that I violated. I work my butt off getting to 180 lifetime tokens and now I have been blocked. I can't even think of any rules that I violated. I won fair and square and they won't even pay me for what I won. Don't waste your time playing their games because they are nothing but liars. I'm disabled and the 400 dollars was going to help a lot and it got my hopes up for nothing.

I have felt many times no one wins these but about 15 years ago they actually came to my parents’ home and my father answered the door. When I came home he told me they had come to ask for the address of the person who won in our small town in central IL. Then about a year later they did the same thing looking for another winner when it was just me at home. It does happen, just not very often to most people, just like the lotto.

Ok does anyone ever win? How the hell can they say you've won when in reality they are lying and deceiving the public!!! How does this happen without having to pay out something? Why can they send out emails and letters saying you've won and not have to pay out anything? I wanna know would a lawyer be able to sue them for deceive and tricking you to open email saying you win? I would like an attorney to shed light on this. Can you tie them up in court. Is there a legal way to "stick it" to Publishers Clearing House???

I play game after game after game - WIN ZILCH. Good examples are the horse race & the car race - never finished higher than 4th place no matter what horse, or what car I choose. Never win any big money, & very little small money. Won $5 one time. Won $10 one time. I don’t even know how I won. What good are tokens? I have submitted over 10 million tokens and never won diddly-squat!

I bought a Toucan automatic can opener. The first time I used it the start button fell into the machine. I contacted Publishers Clearing House to get a refund. They instructed me to return the $14.96 product at my cost for a refund. I packed it and brought it to the USPS who wanted $10.32 postage to return it. With no assurance that they would refund my money, I chose not to waste more of my hard earned cash. I will never buy anything from them again.

So I decided to give their app a try, and astonishingly, I actually won. Just $5 on the wheel spin for a newly acquired gold member, but it was like I was getting a tiny refund for the time and money I gave them in the past. I tried to claim it and I was brought to a nearly blank page. I tried to back out of the page and it told me I could claim it later, but when I went back to the app, there was no option to claim my reward, let alone prove that I even won anything.

I've been buying and submitting my chances for over 18 YEARS now and have NEVER WON ONCE, I see that people have won a least 10 or 25 in gift cards, but in all the time and money I have put into this, not once have gotten something in returned. The products they sell are OK, but very high price as if you buy them from the store itself. They give you free stuff IF you pay for the shipping which is 10 times more expensive that the product itself. I hate to see their emails or paper mail saying that I am a winner and that just need to confirm my address and so on. So many times got excited thinking... this is the time, but nothing. All is advertising for me to buy their products :(. Very sad to see a company give hope to people that would love to be a winner some day!!! Is not fair to received a mail saying YOU ARE A WINNER with a note inside saying, send this back for a chance to WIN!!! WHICH YOU NEVER DO :(!

After trying to enter a far fetched idea of perhaps winning a dollar or two, signed with PCH on 3-17-2018. Numerous emails from them and associated, to a total of 312 to this date of 5-21-2018. Would not want to count the time invested to read and see all of them, and realize that they are in business to sell, but do think that it is a scam. Do you know of anyone that has won? REALLY.

PCH is total garbage. They have longer odds of winning than lottery odds. Also, they send you reminders to play their games constantly to your email. They want you to play all day long the hundreds of games they have of which you can never win. I won once on PCH search after playing for years and they send me a message saying that they would not pay me. They accused me of using a bot or something when I was just searching from site to site through their portal. PCH sucks hard.

I have read other reviews of Publishers Clearing House. I bought some of their products 2-3 years ago. I got the products. They were ok. I have never had any problems since then. Their website is a little confusing but overall my experience with them was ok. I was never charged for anything I did not buy. I have just read so many many negative reviews. If I saw something I liked I would probably buy it. Hopefully they will try to improve their customer service and address the complaints.

First of all they do not give you payment options. They want all of their money. Second of all their items are not worth the money and shipping is not fair. 3rd when I return an item it never shows up on their end and I’m out of the postage for returning it and the money that I put into it for the garbage they send you. I will not ever buy from them again. They have a terrible practice to make you think you're going to get something great and you really just have a big bill that they want all at once. They are not giving you anything. They just keep taking. They also charged me $15.00 on shipping for coins that came as regular postage... Then they wanted all of the money or I will be charged a late fee of $4.50 if not paid in full. This is BS.

I just started playing and entering this year to hopefully win money to help my sister. I have learned through reading these comments that PCH is a scam. The winning number draw date changes. Items purchased do not arrive. I have spent too much money and plan to just drop this whole site. It is a shame that even I, the most skeptical person in the world, fell for this. Desperate people do stupid things, I guess.

I want PCH to explain why no one living in mobile homes or apartments are never shown as winners? Always nice homes! Also...why are the majority "winners" primarily on the East Coast? Looked up weekly winners... I saw two! After years of weekly games. Are the winners big winners or say, $100,000. You can't see the checks. Something smells! I too, am one of those players who play every day and have for years. Ziltch! Nada! Shame on PCH!

I have been playing PCH games for over 2 years now. I won a 5 dollar Amazon gift card once as a result of a player level increase. And it worked. I just had to claim it at Amazon. Never anything else as a result of thousands of hours on the site. I will not order again after receiving two items of very inferior quality. One, a medical bracelet that caused my skin to blister and rupture. I have never had a reaction to metals before but this one had something very reactive in it! And a birdhouse that fell apart a few months after purchase. I tried to find the info on these two orders, but it has been long enough since they were placed that I could not find the numbers or receipts for them.

I am so done with PCH. From now their e-mails will be going in the spam folder. The whole thing is fixed. My opinion is that whoever works for PCH it's their family members that are the ones winning. I put in for things with my tokens and get nothing. I'm done with PCH for good because nobody is ever going to win. It's all FIXED.

I'd been playing thru the PCH app, after playing on it for several months, gaining tons of tokens, I was hoping to win 7000 a week for life, I decided to Like the PCH Facebook page, I received tons of emails about winning different prizes... Well after liked the Facebook page, Clifton ** added me, his profile showed to be with the PCH team, so I accepted, one other added me but I can't remember his name. They said I attracted to win 3,500,000,000.00 USD dollars plus a Mercedes, they asked for my info address, phone, my d.o.b., my mom's full legal name, my dad's same info, I then before giving anymore info, I questioned why? They said a bunch of legal mumbo jumbo, I clicked to report all of them to Facebook scam. That was that. What went from hopeful turned to sad disappointment. I felt like they were pressing information that was unnecessary.

I agree with the other reviews. I do not believe anyone truly wins. My grandmother played, my mother played and probably still does and I have been playing since back when it was paper entries that came in the mail and you had mail them back, with your order of course. Most of my family has played forever and believe me, we have a large family, you think someone would have at least won one of the hundred dollar prizes by now if this was legit. But it's a good way to waste an afternoon when it's not good weather to be outside or you're unable to do anything else, just for fun and no use of brain cells.

I agree with the other consumer, I play every damn day and all I ever win is tokens. I also find it very hard to believe that out of at least 20 or scratch offs and other games that I play every day that I still haven't won a single cent, I mean even playing regular lottery games you can at least win a dollar or two. This never lets you win anything, and I don't believe them when they advertise that others have won, they must work for them!!!

I've used millions of tokens that I've gotten and have never won anything with PCH's token exchange program for prizes. I'd like to know if anyone has ever won anything using tokens. I find it odd that I can spend a million tokens on one prize yet have never won that prize or any of the other prizes. I wrote them about the situation and did not receive a response. Do they make up the names of winners on their website? (It's always a first name and last initial only.) Who checks these things? Is the token prize drawing a hoax with made-believe names?

If you have nothing better to do, then PCH is a good way to waste your time. I have played periodically for several years, but haven't ever won anything. The games and sweepstakes get too repetitious after awhile. Everything about PCH is clearly rigged, and your chances of even winning giveaways with your tokens just doesn't happen. I was once determined to win with over millions of tokens, but after attempting to redeem most of my tokens for certain giveaways and not getting a thing, I quickly realized that my time would be better spent going to the casino. Sure, it costs money, but your odds of winning are almost guaranteed to happen compared to PCH's odds.

I ordered a solar lighthouse by mail from a PCH flyer that I received by mail. The flyer stated that I could purchase it for four payments of $4.99 each. When I received my bill, almost $8 had been added for shipping and handling, which was mentioned nowhere in the flyer. It was a bait and switch. I notified PCH by email of their error. They said that I ordered it online, which I didn't, and the S&H was disclosed online. It was an outright lie. They finally made a correction "for this one time only" as if I was mistaken, which I wasn't. PCH obviously scams clients into paying more for an advertised product. I feel that many clients are taken advantage of, especially the elderly.

Regarding everyone whom complained about the instant wins, you're correct, the games are rigged. Read the rules to the games, instant win, scratch offs, etc. Even though the games are called "Instant" "Wins" there is nothing instant nor winnable about them. Only on certain dates and a split second on those days does PCH allows a win. Scratch offs for example. It's April yet the scratch off rules states no one playing the scratch offs will win a money prize until June when the timer lets the system know to let one person win that day. That means until then no one will win anything except tokens and only for a split second on the winning dates. These games are not set by chance as the law requires. PCH should get rid of these games or change the names seeing as it's false advertising and illegal.

PCH is a ripoff. The instant win games are a joke. Tokens are the only thing they allow you to "win". Not once have I won as much as a dollar! I can go up street and buy a real lottery ticket and have actually won some money. Can't win anything from PCH! Every day I get "urgent" email from them stating that I am close to winning, which is a lie! I've been playing along for years but now I've had enough. Everyone should contact the BBB, describe your experiences on Twitter, Facebook and everywhere else to expose these frauds! PCH is a huge waste of time!

When I playing on 4 different games, but I just found out two of type games are fake which never wins it all. Also "error message tech" means that you will NOT win something like $3,000.00 or $5,000.00 game card. Beware that ads banner came on with MALWARE and VIRUS file itself upload to your PC. Just use the Ad blocker. Stay away that scam, malware, etc. It is true, PCH wants hurt your PC damaged. If you trying to win a 1 million dollar game with order, Just do skip the order nothing, they accept to earn the tokens that it all. As I order one at time and look up the item with price and search. Yes they all made from CHINA items. They look like $1.00 store items and PCH gives you rip off price like $11.99 each items but one thing "You pay shipping costing each one items $5.95." That not free shipping. Be warned. Dont spend too much your money.

I’m reviewing because I can’t understand how anyone with a full time job and family would have the time to complete the endless request to play every day. I own a business and it was ridiculous to try to keep up to it. Then it says it will end this date and then it keeps going for months. I had way over 10,000,000 tokens. Sunk them all into a few one of the gift certificates I wanted to win and got nothing. I never won a thing on any of the games. And once it landed on money and instead it gave me tokens. Really this company makes you sick of it and after 3 months of playing with no incentive, I quit. Not worth it to a productive human being with a family.

Recently ordered an item from PCH and anxiously looked forward to it. When I checked out they informed me that a "FREE" item was added to this order. Great! I actually "won" something--right? Wrong. The shipping and handling was enormous. When the items arrived the free cutlery was cheaply and dangerously "Made In China" and was not worth the almost $10.00 I paid to receive it! My entire bill came to $32.96 and the website said "Billable in Four (4) Easy Payments." I went on the website and guess what? There is NO OPTION online to pay in installments. So, I wrote PCH to ask why/how? I was advised by the CSR "You can't do installments online. You have to call in to do that." I've called to make my payments and now I only have one left to finish off.

I'm mad because of 2 reasons!!! 1. Sending me things I never ordered with a bill, telling me to pay. Which I call them to tell them I'm not paying for it cause I didn't order it. Well now I have to pay them to send it back? I think not. 2. In writing tell them to take me off mailing address and email address still I get them tell me just one more step to become the next winner. BS. Sorry??? I have heard that for years now. And still even on a fixed income they get me in. Well this time I'm mad. Got a bill for 2/3 hundred dollars for stuff I didn't order or never got. Yes I am mad to the fullest. What do I do now? Scared that it will go on my credit report.

So, I read a lot. One thing, I noticed over time was my entry numbers. I noticed no one noticed this yet. My entry numbers seem to be colliding with other people on their blog page. 1100, 1076 etc. I thought that seems weird. So then, I thought maybe these are numbers that won't win or a group of numbers to win with addresses but when I would go back to my emails I would noticed these were Search or Play numbers without addresses attached or anything. My eyes opened up. This can't be real when you actually add it all up in your head.

I have been completing the PCH emails messages for several years. During that time I have purchased several items. The program state, "YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BUY ANYTHING TO PLAY THE GAMES OR SUBMIT FOR A POSSIBLE PRIZE." Now if that is TRUE why do you send me nasty emails that I did not purchase anything while sending in my submission. You should change your mission goals to Competing with Amazon to SELL the MOST Stuff. This is MUCH more true of your company goals and accomplishments. Go to the US Commerce Department and state this as the real fact.

I play PCH games every single day. There is this one called Prize Grabber and every time I pick up money it falls back down but when it grabs a present I get a way to go. PCH cheats you when playing the games. I notice every time I play the Hot to Trot game and Lighting Lab racing game. My car or animal always comes in last place. Then I don’t think it really be money in none of the briefcases when playing that game???

PCH goes overboard on the number of email it sends to an individual on a daily basis. Many of these supposed "contests" are you used to keep you the running for their annual prize drawing. In reality these same contests are a ploy to get you to purchase goods from other companies. It goes beyond ridiculous and I find it ultimately harassing!!! I'll never enter another PCH contest again!!!

I have 3 orders that I wanted from PCH. I have not gotten any but I do have confirmation they got them after calling and talking with them. I have still not received them. It has been over a month. They have no problem sending you things to enter their sweeps and beg you to place a order. Why would I place an order when I cannot get them. I do not have a order number number.

I have been playing the PCH sweepstakes online since 2005 and this has proved to be a HUGE mistake! This company is NOTHING but a pack of lies, false promises, false hope, switch and bait artists, and last but CERTAINLY NOT least con artists! I ordered two merchandise items and I am paying the bill this week but it will be THE LAST time I ever order from them! I recently had to file a complaint with my state attorney general because I played PCH slot tournament last Saturday and they ripped me off big time!!! It clearly said in the pay table that if you got three, four, or five instant winner symbols you win tokens and $750.

I am VIP elite top 3 percent. I've won 50 dollars BUT I'm always on the list to win something. Tokens no. I've never won anything. I wrote them 2 years ago and ask them why I've never won. They sent me a 10 dollar check.

I received payment confirmation for my magazine order on 2/5/18. When the magazine hadn't arrived 3 weeks later, I called PCH and was told it could take 4-5 weeks to get it. When it still hadn't come after 6 weeks I called PCH again. This time I was told I should get it in late April or early May. That's ridiculous. 3 months to get a magazine? I'll never order from them again.

Listen, I've been using PCH for years! Since 2007! I've always entered through their site, I even ordered something before hoping I would win something. I've seen people entering since the 90's! and complain about never winning a penny, it's so sad. I would even get letters in the mail claiming I'm a top contender to win a big prize and to enter through a site and still NOTHING. I stopped entering little by little and then I just gave up and stopped, the more I see people "win" the more fake and rehearsed it seems, I just don't believe these wins are real, I truly believe PCH just use people's money for their own benefits. When will PCH just shut down already? People who get told they won a prize never receive it either. The token system is a joke, you never benefit anything from it.

The games are all preprogrammed and rigged. No chance is involved. And they are not very good at it. After you play for a while it is so repetitive that you can predict the outcome. They get away with it because it's free. They say you don't have to purchase to win ~ but look at the veiled threats when you don't purchase. In addition, it is a boring time waster...

weeks ago.

Your games pages are always slow & unresponsive. I'm sick of the constant barrage of ads between every game. Products & services are one thing, but politicians, ie. David Reis? I'm sick & tired of seeing his face all over my screen while I'm playing my game; top, bottom, sides, 2 ads at the same time sometimes. Also, your $10,000 ball bounce game is total BS. Completely IMPOSSIBLE to win even $100 much less $10,000.

PCH says no purchase necessary, yet they bombard you with offers. You get to the end and it says your cart is empty, please order something; take a second look and other pleas. I have ordered several times from them, and never won anything on their contests. I do not believe there are any winners of any PCH contests. They build you up, then throw you down.

Do NOT use these scammers! They steal returns and claim they did not receive them! They are often a month late on shipping so by the time the item has arrived, I purchased another gift and sent their junk back but they expect you to pay for shipping no matter what. They have the cheapest junk, like spatulas that melt when you are using the spatula to turn over food, lovely plastic in the food. They sell women's cosmetics and lotions that contain chemicals that lead to endocrine toxicity and have been reported to cause cancer. They send 'free' cookies and charge $25+ for shipping and I did not request them because I am allergic! This company is abusive, overpriced and does not deliver on time but you pay maximum delivery charges! Corrupt to the max. I want my money back for the items I returned.

This is directed to PCH executives. You claim that no purchase is necessary to win. I am not a gullible 68 year old male. The truth is, if I don't buy anything, PCH does NOT give you added entries. The less you buy, the less entries you get in your sweepstakes. PCH PUNISHES YOU if you don't buy something. I am sick of it. Your token games including slots is a total waste of time. I have been a active participant since September 2016 and have NEVER won anything redeeming tokens much less winning sweepstakes. My window is closing since I am almost 70. I want to travel during my retirement but I can't afford it. I am getting a part time job. That is real world. PCH is just a pipe dream and only people up east and midwest win. Well how about that! Since PCH is in NEW YORK, it is cheaper travel expense to stay close to your home base. Don't tell me it is just a coincidence. ** PCH! I am done.

Pathetic programs run by Spectrum - Their games are pathetic, tons of error messages that say they are experiencing technical problems while you wasted your time trying to win the total points for the day and it keeps bombing out so you can't play the game and gain points. Pathetic, don't waste your time with this dumb site, their ads never bomb out but their games do, GO FIGURE.

Even when I look up the order details now there is no statement of shipping charges, but a disclaimer that states "Note that additional S&H and Tax charges are not displayed for item(s)."??? Why? Are they ashamed of the charges? Note: The shipping is VERY slow, it has been 13 days and still no items.

I have entered for 10 yrs and I am a VIP elite any more. VIP elite is not even worth one cent and then you send, "Oh we could be coming to your home". You build up hope and then drop you down. I have been entering ever since my parents took out the reverse mortgage. Hope I win and then I would not be out on the street when my parents are gone. I am disabled so what do I have to look forward to is living on the streets. Then you tell me that you are coming to the home, my father has passed. Next is my mom. She was so sorry that they did it. I was built up to believed that I would win from each of your email.

I have been entering these sweepstakes for many years and have never won but keep playing, today 2-21-2018 I got another entry that said I was entered into the 5000 a week forever prize. Well I opened it for I was going to fill it out and send it back as I always do and I gotten to notice that it says the deadline was 02-20-2018 REALLY? This is past the deadline. So I chatted with a customer rep by the name of Meagen and she said, "Sorry some was sent out late but I could send it in anyway" and they would enter me for the next drawing. Hmmm ok, sounds a little fishy to me don't it?

Been playing those PCH games the last month since I’ve been laid up with a broken leg. I’ve scored 16 million tokens and used them to enter various drawings, never won a dime, never won a dime playing any of the games either. All they do is beg you to buy their 99 cent store type garbage and when you don’t I’m sure their computers lock you out of ever winning anything but more useless tokens. What a scam, never met anyone in my 60 years of life who won anything from these scammers. Don’t waste your time playing, or your money on the cheap garbage they try to sell you.

I have had all of the experiences listed by the other reviewers before me. The PCH people "talk out of both sides of their mouths!" They try to play with our heads with a statement; however, inside that statement will be a word/s that limit/change the statement. In tiny almost unreadable text, they assure us that it is not necessary to purchase anything; however, they continually insult us with very large text reminding us that our "cart is empty," [as though we are too stupid to know it], and they do not allow us to proceed to "enter" until they have forced us to go through the lists of products several times.

Do they ever really pay out money? I have never seen anyone win, only what they show on TV. I play their games on their site, they say this game you can win $100 or this one you can win $500 or this one pays out $2500 but I haven't even seen $1. From what I keep reading on them, no one has ever won any money. They just want you to come to the site so they can try to see you something. I bought from them one time, they sent half but tried to make me pay for all of it. I tried explaining that I didn't receive everything and they refused to listen. I now just play their games, in hopes of beating the top score, which by the way, I have never even gotten close to.

Whenever you have only a limited time to finish a game section, the site freezes over and over. Today I had to log out and log back in over twenty times. I had multiple times that I completed a game and got my token score, but the site would freeze up before the score was added. When I would get back in, that game would be back, as if I hadn't already played it. I have yet to be able to complete all games in one day, due to site keeps freezing up. Tired of getting "difficulty loading" message.

Very simple! If I order THEY WIN. I enter but NEVER order. Because I want to WIN. When I win $1,000,000 I'll order. They could have so many more winners if they would give away $1000 or $2000 a week instead of $5000 or $7000. Who needs $5000 a week anyway?

I have tried three different browsers. I get as far as a page that says submission is pending and to click to continue. There is no continue button in any browser. There is a next button where I can buy useless crap. On that page, there is nothing related to submitting an entry. If I return to previous page I still get a message to click continue to submit my entry, but of course, there is still no option. I am quite tech-savvy, but how is it that I cannot find a way to submit my entry in Safari, Chrome or Firefox?

Why does PCH force you to buy their products if their sweepstakes are free? I am disabled and on a very limited income and I cannot afford their items. Frankly I don't want any of them. So done with this.

I have ordered things from Publishers Clearing House before I just paid off my last to cut two accounts. I know how I have all my accounts paid up and they're trying to say I still owe 420 some dollars from two years ago. I'm tired of the threatening letters that they're going to send it to collection and they keep sending me bills. As I explain to them they scammed me before and I've paid for things twice and I explain to them I'm not paying for anymore. I'm all paid up in full. They can send these bills to collections because I know I don't Owe this money.

You're watching ads in-app and window pops up saying you've won 1000.00 gift card from Amazon, Wal-Mart, etc... After you give your contact info and checkbox to receive text, you find out participation by paying them money is required. Now you've been scammed and get bombarded by salesman as a reminder. I see PCH ads on Consumer Affairs page now. So they've paid y'all off too. Good grief. Oh and you won't win anything on those games either.

What you read from PCH and what they actually do is diametrically opposed. I receive 3 to 5 email warnings daily with failure to respond will result in forfeiture of any prize money. Almost threatening to begging for an order. I’ve tried it not ordering and with ordering for years, perhaps 40 or more, hundreds of magazines, useless foreign junk easily less money at Walmart and in all cases even with guarantees of winning have reaped a big fat zero.

I love playing these games, but with all the freezing, it's impossible to win anything. Solitaire games: We have 3 minutes to play. I'd be willing to bet that 2 of those minutes are spent waiting while the game is frozen. When you click on cards to put them up, they end up all over the board and you can't see the cards underneath; you completely lose track of what you're doing... more time wasted trying to figure out what card is on top, and what card goes next.

They tell you no purchase necessary. They tell you there’s a chance to win. I fell for it before and now again. If you win, you get tokens. They just keep sucking you in and get nothing but tokens. Supposedly you have entered the sweepstakes but there’s always another email telling you there’s another step. They keep doing their best to get you to order. I am once again unsubscribing. People who need money the most are the ones who get sucked in that’s why WE keep falling for it. The wheel spinning and Et games are just another addition to get started. I don’t believe anyone wins except Publishers Clearing House.

When PCH robs you with your earned tokens, what else will they cheat you out of??? I accumulate about 1.2 to 1.4 million tokens a day normally. As I accumulate tokens I keep track of them, at the end of a section I check what they show I have accumulated. OOPS what they show is way out of what it should be. So I have started everything I accumulated at the end of each game and write it down and total with the previous. I then check what they show what my total is. Result - sometimes they add part of it, a few times they show all of it and frequently they show none of it. Tracking the totals over that last 4 days I find they have robbed me of about 100,000 tokens a day. IF THEY WILL ROB YOU OF TOKENS, what else WILL THEY CHEAT YOU OUT OF. Are these people a scam or worse???

I'm so upset with these people. No one ever wins. I feel like you all are getting paid for us using our internet. Then you say we won something but we got to buy something or go thru all these different things and never finish with the first attempt of winning anything. If you get finish there is still no winner. Y'all post face of employees winning 100 here and there. No no no run it right. I have not seen no one win the big money. They say they legit. Where is the proof. Nothing on TV but your commercial. I'm over it.

For lack of a calmer demeanor at this moment, I will start with this "screw you PCH". What does a person HAVE to do short of shutting down their personal email to get you TO STOP BOMBARDING ME WITH EMAILS! I have "unsubscribed" 3 times and you still send me upwards of 7 emails a day. I too played and played (no I didn't win either and that part's okay) but realized I JUST DON'T WANT TO ANYMORE. I didn't really expect to win anything and I am cool with that.

I tried to enter contest online. After several attempts and a multitude of emails from them alternating between telling me I was registered then several more telling me I had to search their product lists again and again (I already searched 3x) to meet compliance with their rules, it was clear you had to order something or enter an eternal search loop w/o a confirmed entry. This appears to be a scam now.

Unethical business practices. PCH sent me a bag to cook a potato in, and a bill for $23. Lol. It's a law that you do not have to pay for something that's sent to you without paying for it first. Otherwise anyone could send you something, and a bill. Think about it.

Yes, PCH is still targeting the most vulnerable adults in our society. Through plays on words and slick looking mass mailers claiming that you may already have WON! Hogwash. My elderly mother-in-law was giving out thousands of dollars each month, because she thought it didn’t matter since she had won $34M from PCH. WE (actually “I”) contacted PCH and demanded that they cease any/all contact with her. They agreed, but never quit. And yes, she still buys their dollar store nut & candy garbage - because the reps assure her that gives her extra chances to win. I’m disgusted! Mailings, and any other forms of contact.

On December 22nd, I got an email from them saying the prize has been awarded and they are on their way. On December 23rd, they said they hadn't really gotten a matching winning number and the prize was still up for grabs... So look at our products again! They wanted people who were desperate to win to think a miracle had happened and they still had one more chance to win.

Is PCH using our computing power to mine for cryptocurrency? While using my smartphone and/or iPad, the contests move right along. While on a computer, everything is at a snail's pace. It takes forever to load games and play. No, it is not my computer nor my internet connection. I am an electronic tech and am very savvy about computers, Windows, iOS, etc. The most likely explanation for the slowwww computer gaming is that PCH is using our bandwidth to mine cryptocurrency in the background. BTW, not the issue here but been Pch'ing over 40 yrs and never won a thing.

I've been entering since 1978. I have won nothing, I would be better off playing the lottery. If I had the money I spent on stamps I would have quite a bit of money. I've also entered online and you can never get thru all the pages to finally enter. It's a scam, The government should put a stop to junk like this.

I've been playing the games... Never win any money, redeemed the tokens to enter for prizes... Nothing. I'm up to almost 7.5 Million tokens, but have never hit any money. Did order a few things... pretty cheap goods for what you pay. Shipping and handling price it out of the market. Will NEVER order anything again. Don't waste your money! Play for fun only.

I’ve been a “customer” of Publishers Clearing House for years! Easy payments, but all their products are super expensive for cheap workmanship and sometimes defective products. Trying to get their customer service to do anything is a joke! The shredding scissors, OMG! NO don’t buy anything from PCH! You can enter without purchasing but you have to read the fine print. I’ve never won anything from them... Are the people that win real? That’s an interesting question... Happy Holidays!! Be aware! Be smart! Be good to yourselves!

On VIP scratch off games - I've played 3 games several different times and it says I have to do two more to "unlock" for the big try. The short of it is I can do the last three games but cannot do the first games - hence - it refuses to accept the selection. I just sit and look at no action! Holy cow I just might be a big winner without a chance to claim it (smiles). Can I get an email on what to do!! I have faith cause I won before. Let me know what I am doing wrong. Keep the contests coming. Play every day and mail every entry.

I have been on and off this site for over 3 years now. I am a relatively active member, a few million away from Diamond level status and yet over all of those 4-5 hour nights I have only received a $5 check in the mail, yes a $5 check! It costs nearly that much for me to drive to the bank and back, and not even worth giving them my bank info over. That right there put a fire in me to QUIT playing the site for hours at a time, it's not worth it. The rate of money they pay out for the amount of ads I've watched is ludicrous. I'm sure they've made hundreds if not thousands off of me in ad revenue, and I get a $5 check. What a crock. Stay away and don't spend more than a few minutes a day filling out stuff, it won't make a difference.

I just started playing PCH, and love it! I've so far won $10, and play every day, and there's reasons that they State, and let me tell every reviewer out here buying, so I purchasing will not increase your chances of winning! If you're called, or that you have to buy something to win or get in a sweepstakes It's a scam! Let me repeat a scam, you don't have to purchase anything, and my experience thus far, is the games/apps are easy, though they do have some accessibility issues to work on even on PCH.com. I love it!

All you get is tokens no cash. And I got a call last year said I won a prize. Patrol was on their way but I had to go to Walmart and send 2500 cash for processing fees before they arrived. What a joke.

Playing the PCH games for a long time and never win a thing especially the low income and people below low income so they can stop struggling and the rich or above low income people not as much. I have been playing the PCH games and everything else since my daughter was in my belly and now she is almost 4 years old.

I've been playing the instant win games now for about 5 months and redeemed thousands of tokens and I have WON ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. How can they continue to fool people so much? I am totally disappointed in Publishers Clearing House.

Publishers Clearing House claims they are not a scam. Annex and I filled out everything on time for a year. We were sent a letter saying somebody in my very neighborhood with my initials would definitely win. We were sent another letter saying that the Prize Patrol was definitely coming to my neighborhood and somebody with my initials had definitely won. Needless to say it never happened. Isn't that false advertisement? They told me someone with my initials in my neighborhood won and it never happened.

I have been dealing with Publishers Clearing House almost 3 years. I have bought several hundred dollars in junk from them mostly because I was led to believe I would win. Please don't waste your time and money on this. They continually change dates on which the award for sweepstakes will be given. People if you do not live in one of the States that sued PCH for misleading customers with their e-mails which they continue to do, you will not win each time they claim to be awarding a prize. It's in one of the States that have to pay legally millions because they were sued, unfortunately I am in VA which did not sue and believe me when I say they have awarded all around this state but never here. Go figure. If you do get lured into the game don't believe in the payment plans offered for buying from them as when you go to pay the option for monthly payments are not there. You have to pay all or nothing.

Im 68 and a cancer survivor this year. Ive sent things into PCH for about 50 years. I always try to buy a few things, try to pay on time, even though now it's getting harder, since Ive lost half my income because my husband in nursing home on hospice. This year I tried the online a few times. But the begging for me to get stuff, and the stuff is really cheap. Does anyone really win, or are they just hired actors. I could act for you too, cause I need the money. After reading the reviews I think Im going to have to stop. My fixed income is hurting. Sorry. Ty for games although no one wins.

You don't have to believe me but I'm telling you that you're all PCH prostitutes. I was one too. PCH pimped us all. Some research and a little common sense will prove this... Be clear, PCH is the pimp and you're the hooker. How so, you may wonder? Well it's like this. As I'm sure you know in present day internet age the way to make money is through ads. Lots and lots of ads. Popular YouTube "celebs" with hundreds of thousands of subscribers make tons of money that way. Popular bloggers, affiliates program members, Etc, all make money this way. PCH is no exception.

For 45 years my mother religiously entered every Publishers Clearing House contest. Her basement was full of boxes and boxes of PCH envelopes with the receipts of items she purchased, or just what she sent in as entries. Not once did my mother ever win a dime from them. 45 years! I am sure over the years she spent several thousand dollars buying useless items. I threw an awful lot of those items away as I cleaned her basement. Please do not waste your time entering these contests. They sell your info, they just want you to buy items. But I think at some point, someone, somewhere, would know a person who actually won the million dollar prizes or the $5000 a week prize. I have asked across the internet, and not a single person knows of anyone! Please do not waste time online - again - they will sell your information to other scammers.

I think Publishers Clearing House is a hoax. I think people that buys things from them are the ones that win. I don't ever remember Publishers Clearing House ever having winners in Salina, Kansas. I've been entering forever and haven't won anything. Why haven't they ever come to Salina, Kansas if they were real? I'm done.

I went to the website I got in the mail. I ordered 2 items. I'm not sure they received. I tried entering the contest and ALL I kept getting was more and more pages of crap I don't want to buy. I never did find a way out to enter the contest. From now on when I get something from PCH it will go in the trash!

I received an email from pch.com stating that I had won $100,000.00! So excited I called and emailed making sure this wasn't a hoax! They asked for my name and email address and then tell me that they are very sorry but it was a mistake and was sent by mistake. I call bull! I was then told I would be put in a $10,000 lottery with 4 other people! What the hell is going on? I should have recorded the phone call and kept the email in a safer place than on my phone which died. I think a question should be asked; who has won that never made a purchase? They make that claim, but, is the BS also?

I will like to know if anybody win for real sometime in this website. I had 2 years playing every day many games they have here and buying thing they sell to get in the winning millions and nothing I win here so if this is for real or just a advertising business for PCH.

I have entered this sweepstakes several times by mail, & decided to do it online. Well I spent 30 min. having to go thru all the as seen on TV junk & mags. that I got so frustrated & finally gave up. I have purchased some of the items @ Rite Aid & Wal-Mart, & wound up returning. I bought one of those copper belts to help my back (I have had several back surgeries) & it was totally worthless. I also purchased one of those key antennas & it didn't work either. My wife & I are a very limited income as we are both disabled & can't afford cable. All I have is a smartphone with limited data. Anyway I wasted a lot of data trying to enter this stupid contest. I finally gave up. I couldn't do it anymore. I live in constant pain which makes it hard for me to do anything for a long period of time. It's easier & less costly for me to do it by mail. But I have never won anything & always wondered where the money came from.
