Publishers Clearing House Reviews

I search as that's one of the ways to enter. I search daily. I'm beginning to think they are using my search as a way to survey what is popular. If this is true I want to be paid for my time due to the fact I haven't won anything. Plus they never as promised show the winner on T.V. so NBC, they state is to air on your network so you must be part of the scam as well. I want and believe I should be paid for the time I put in so they can get better ads and commercials.

You waste time getting tokens. They don't tell that when you start. Do you cash some but you never win anything. The rewards are cheesy and not worth cashing you tokens. You are so busy trying for tokens checking to see winning lotto #'s. We should be notified each time we win. We enter so many events, we shouldn't have to wonder if we won. Please end the frustration.

I played PCH play and win for 63 days. Finally yesterday June 29th, 2015 I won $250.00 in the token - highest of the day game. I was so excited but I didn't receive an email from them yet. I'm really disappointed. My name is in the winners section of the app. Was I scammed? So what happened and what happens now? How do I get my winnings?

Played PCH for years. Their games are rigged you can't win any money, only tokens slots instant wins. All other games are impossible to win though they show money denominations. If a casino did this it would be illegal. So why is it legal for them?

I regularly receive emails from PCH with urgent messages telling me I have to acknowledge something or other in order to win a cash prize - once I do so, I am then led through a series of e-games that alternate with pages trying to get me to link to "sponsor" sites and pages inviting me to download apps to acquire additional chances at major prizes. I sometimes play the free games when my back is bothering me and I need a distraction to take my mind off the discomfort. I never really expect to win anything, and until today, never really have - I've just accumulated "points." Sometimes when I do not appear to have actually won anything; nevertheless, the same bells and whistles go off as do when I have clearly won, but either way, win or all I ever won were still more "points" (of which I now have over a quarter of a million). But today, just a little over an hour ago, something different happened.

I went online, and I was told to purchased 3 item in order to qualify for the lottery. I made my choice and submitted to PCH. I received a letter from them, and told me that my lottery ticket was number **. After that every day my email box was filled with the request of purchasing more items otherwise "I will be removed" from the lottery. They pestered me for the whole month. One day I went online and I saw a review of another customer and I was shock to find out that her lottery number was ** just like my number. Is this a SCAM or what??? Please take care of this PCH and get them out of business.

I downloaded the PCH play & win app a while ago since well it's PCH and I've heard all this good stuff about them and need the money so why not. It's a nice setup but all you get is tokens and you can't even buy stuff with tokens - you get entries into a sweepstakes which is stupid since even with Lucktastic you can redeem them. The mini games are completely programmed to miss the $$ and win more lame tokens. They do send emails for the Search & Win and tell you what's left for you to do to win and so on. While you're on the main screen of the actual app, you get little pop ups showing who won what, how much and where. (I've seen the same names pop up various times different days) so it is kinda scammy. Don't hope too much with it...

I started playing the PCH games online a few months back, and within a month's time I figured out what the "redeem tokens" was for... To actually submit for entries to win various prizes on the token exchange page. I submitted ten entries for a GPS device just for giggles then found the Canon EOS Rebel Camera down at the bottom in the selections where it requires 3500 tokens per entry, and immediately placed 40 entries for it, and then every day for a solid month, while watching the deadline, I entered no less than 20 entries per day, sometimes more or less between 40 to 20 entries per day. When it said "the winner would be announced tomorrow" I put in 30 entries, then went back and put in another 8 entries depleting my collection of over 3Mil tokens all on that camera for entries for a total of 1068 entries. Yes, I kept track of each and every day I put in entries, as a running total.

I was sent some small lanterns which I never ordered. Now being notified that I owe the money for this order. I never ordered anything from them!!!!

PCH.com locked me out of confirmation sweepstakes.

I just want to make anyone aware of the odds of anyone winning any grand prize. But first, a tiny bit of info. Currently, when you enter any of their sweepstakes, you're entering along with people in Canada, England, and the United States! So, the odds of you winning the grand prize...1 in 1,700,000,000! That's one-in-one billion, seven hundred million! Before they added Canada and England? 1-in-310,000,000 (three hundred and ten million!) So, now do you think you will win? Odds are...you will not!

The games are bogus, along with the tokens, or cash, but you get mostly tokens. It's a waste of time. I believe if you win something, they (PCH) should honor it.

I have been putting in online entries for a while now and last week I received a 100.00 check in mail. I initially thought was fake but called and verified with Wells Fargo bank and also went to Wells Fargo and cashed!! I'm gonna keep playing. It takes a few mins and it's fun and who couldn't use 100.00?

Well the tokens, you can not win on just a full, and you can never win if you never play or if you only play once and hope for the best, but maybe it can happen. The scratch-offs are for tokens so you can use them towards prizes they have. I tried 4 million and no luck but keep trying. My point is never give up, keep playing and it is not a scam even though I lost 4 million tokens. It was not my day but I will try again with more some day. ANYWAY THANKS PCH.

Hi. I've been entering PCH since 2010 off and on. This year in twenty fifteen March I entered and all of April except two weeks earlier in April I didn't enter but started back till the end of April into now - it's the twenty eighth day. Today is forty two days straight and have not won anything even the small prizes which makes me think that PCH is a conspiracy because they've never been to Atlanta Georgia before. They say that they've been everywhere but Atlanta they've never been to. By looking at their history this year and in the past all of the winners their states have been casino states and there is a big super prize coming up in June and I believe all of putting in this contest I'm going to miss out on another super prize again like always, and they say that they issue out prizes every day so which makes me believe that their computer that does the random drawings is rigged because I believe another casino state is going to get it again.

I'm writing for my 83 year young Mom. Like a lot of seniors, she does PCH by mail. She had me check it last time to make sure she did not order anything. They say she may get a Gift. Then she gets 2 link rollers worth $2, at most. She gets bill for $12. I think they do it in purpose, because she said "Be easier to just pay it," maybe so if she wasn't on SS. She doesn't have enough money for her meds and food. Please look into this as I am sure this happens to thousands of people that use the mail to contact PCH, because they know seniors prefer the old way. I take care of my Mom, have for 7 years. She gets scammed at least 1 time a month. Please. Help our Seniors. I guess they get scammed millions of $. They don't tell anybody because they are ashamed to.

I have been playing on PCH games. They send me up to 6 emails a day. I play and hope to win. I have been playing for months, I only get tokens. I think they are running a scam. I don't have time for all this mess. I'm done with PCH. It's a waste of people's time. They need to be banned.

Nothing happened but you are asked everyday. There's an email saying you forgot to play this game and in order to it to complete your entry you have to search and play games that are just too much in order for you to receive tokens. I don't know what those tokens are used for. You never really win anything so why are you even playing for these tokens? What are they used for? What is the purpose of them? I guess the tokens are for gift cards. I've been playing for years and never got anything.

During the fast paced gaming that is highly enjoyable on their website, they have implemented pop-ups in the middle of gaming sessions that resulted in two inadvertent orders that I only became aware of when the payment was past due. I would have never ordered the items which were not in my choice of items to order to begin with. When I found out because of an email indicating my potential disqualification from the PCH gaming prizes, I tried to cancel the orders with no success or ability to appeal the situation. While the chances of winning are very small, the only reason to game is for enjoyment and the very remote chance of winning. PCH still gets all of the advertising revenue and I should not be punished for deceptive pop-ups that result in inadvertent orders that were unintended and my disqualification from competing.

I have filled out the win it all section and my info is continually erased off the page. I have followed the directions step by step to fix the problem, and it doesn't work. How can I be signed in to win by the deadline?

Playing the Roulette Game, ball does not roll, stays in the middle and does not go around! I finish all other games but this one. I have tried it a few times and it does not play for me. It is very upsetting. Please help me fix this game. Rating lowered.

I have entered these contests for years. When you enter by mail, you are bombarded with more and more "entries" and "don't lose your possible winning number by not returning this entry!" I would call that BLACKMAIL. The entry online is almost the same. I also went through with the SEARCH screens with the same thing happening. I believe these "contests" are just one BIG SCAM!

This has happened to me twice now. On one of the games called Prize Grabber I win a money bag and the game freezes on me, and therefore I get nothing. I play these games a lot and every time I win something, the game freezes. Is that not false advertising in a way? It's just wrong.

I was directed to the games to a spinning wheel. I spun the wheel to win $1000.00 and it landed on money. I waited to see what I had to do and then before it went on the wheel moved again to tokens. Come on it landed on money and that's what I should have received. I could use the money for bills. Why does this happen. I am frustrated.

So you've got the bug and want to win. My issues are - TIME: I've been playing online everyday for the past month via desktop computer and also on my mobile phone because you can rack up more entry's and tokens and supposedly increase your odds of winning something by doing both. Currently I have over 7,000,000 tokens and I am at their Platinum status. I have not won any gift cards from token redemption yet. My goal is to reach Black Diamond status in order to enter token drawings that everyone else gets locked out of (because your odds are probably higher then of winning, right?). At this pace it is going to take approximately 28 months of playing games all day long though to achieve this status. That is a big chunk of my life I don't really want to devote to PCH. I feel sorry for those who have achieved Black Diamond status because 3 years of your life is a lot to waste.

There is no way to find out what number is your entry. Therefore there is no way to know if you have won. They keep awarding worthless tokens redeemable only in exchange for more opportunities to play. If at least the tokens were exchangeable for goods mailed free of charge it would make it worthwhile.

I am 99 percent sure PCH winners are all ** lies or prizes are only awarded to whom PCH wants to win. I have been given years of false hopes by the company scams and I won't take their ** any more. I'm done with PCH. I won't buy another damn thing either.

I made several purchases from P.C.H. and most of what I received was very cheap product for what I was being charged. I have called P.C.H. several times to complain and request a return label, I was told on my last call that a supervisor gave the ok-- this time only to send a return label and once the products were received, I would receive a corrected bill. I have never received the return label and I keep receiving call from their collections department and by mail. I am sick of this and will never do business with P.C.H. again. I feel hurt by a company I have always trusted in. Broken promises and ongoing calls and bills.

I get 4-5 e-mails from PCH every day saying that I am close to winning and that I must click here or verify this. Additionally they keep giving me deadlines or else I will forfeit my chance to win. Sad that they have to still trick us into playing their games.

Well first off I would like to say I enjoy the game because it gives me a lil bit of hope. I have been playing the game for about 2 years almost and haven't ever won anything but like I said I was thinking what if. I was a lil tough when recently I was playing the game that you grab presents from kinda like the stuffed animal machines and a few times I grabbed the money bag and it just dropped it and gave me tokens... But when it grabs the presents it never drops them. Also just one time on the ring toss I finally got the ring around a money sign and just received tokens. I mean I am a mother of 4 boys disabled and broke as joke so it's a tad disappointing when that happened but I will continue to play because there's always that 1 in a million chance.

Publishers Clearing House has a confusing online "contest" program that does very little but keep sending potential customers back to Add-to-Cart options. As far as entering the contest is concerned, one actually does not know for sure whether one has entered the contest or not. A repetitive page that encourages one to SEARCH keeps coming up. Any yet, once you click on SEARCH, that page keeps coming back up, telling you to SEARCH. Then, later on, you get online messages from PCH saying that you have not taken advantage of your opportunity to SEARCH. I just wanted to see how honest this whole contest is (I advise many retirees), and I must say that I am not encouraged by the online experience I have had with PCH.

This new "mega prize" sweepstakes is starting out just like the last one. Seven or eight or nine times last year PCH had a "special early look" for their 'mega prize" which was variously $5000 a week for life or $7000 a week for life, a million dollars up front or two million dollars in addition plus a new car, and so on and on and on. For some reason, the "lucky number" was never returned so only a million dollars, parceled out at $2500 a year for 30 years was supposedly won. Of course, the idiots who think they have a chance to win (at 1,750,000,000 to 1) will, during this period, buy more and more magazines or cheap Chinese-made junk they don't really want or need just to "improve" their "equal chance to win." Yeah, right - an equal chance at nothing is still nothing. I have reported this scam to the FDC and I hope they do something about it.

When playing the games, I get a message that I am landscape mode, to turn my screen to continue. When I do, it flashes a playing screen for a second and then goes back to black, with the landscape message again. Unable to continue at all. It has happened over 50 times. But at the bottom of the screen, one can click on an advertisement (non PCH) and that conveniently works. I guess they don't want you to play, but click on the ad instead. I will not participate again. False hope and promises.

I played several games and several entries I entered it seems like they're always texting you or emailing you that you're close to being the winner, but they always advertise and then all your shopping cart empty like if you want to buy but at the bottom it says no purchase necessary to enter. I guess they want you to purchase in order for you to win. It takes a long time to get their M, it takes a long time to get their merchandise and the merchandise is also as seen on tv. So why pay all the money they charge when I can go as seen on tv websites and get it out of cheaper price coz they're the same items are selling.

Score high on games then they bonk my scores out expecting me to replay same games. Tells me I'm in millionaire winning circle by mail and I need to send a fee and get a Blue Diamond Card to download money on. Really mental distractions I don't need. Everyone would truly like to be "the big winner" but why mislead someone ahead of time. I'm tired of them expecting me to replay what I completed and they time it out and want me to listen to Pampers on YouTube. My youngest is over 30 yrs old. This is emotional and mental abuse and that's not funny at all, too much aggravation!!! :(

I have made several purchases over the past 7 months and expected the platinum "gifts" from 5 of the purchases, however, I have received none. How do I get these? I don't have the order numbers, however, I have been a PCH customer for over 33 years so I am sure that you have them. I have always been happy with my purchases.

I ordered 2 mags and I received 4. I tried to cancel with mag. Subscription dep't but was refused because PCH has my credit card to pay for them. NO SATISFACTION FROM PCH!!

I have been playing these silly games for months now, accumulating tokens and entering prize drawings. I did hit the $10 Amazon gift card, however the system locked and wouldn't let me submit my winning. A month ago they sent me a check for $10, not for winning but for being a loyal player. I do believe that the odds of winning something of substance are enormously against you. These games are very time consuming as hours upon hours can be wasted. A part time job at Wal-Mart would be more productive.

Here's what i don't understand - you play these games to win tokens and cash but all you win is tokens and you are never told what to do with them. And if you can get money for the tokens you have, the more you play pch games and win these scratch offs and never win any money. Makes you wonder if the winners of the 10,000 and 7,000 for life is really real. Some of us have played pch games for years and have never won a cent. The games are great but if you are never a winner, why do we keep playing?

While playing last night A card showed I matched 3 $1000 cash. The game congratulated me for winning tokens not the cash.... Feeling kinda cheated It moved to the next gold card and again 3 $1000 cash prize once again ignored. This happened at least 3 possibly 4 times only giving me tokens (none of the cards matched 3 for tokens not a cash win). My account shows only tokens awarded... I'll assume nothing will be done to correct this but I know what I saw and am feeling cheated.

Hello. I ordered two scribble mats and dimmable mini lanterns around a month to three weeks ago and I just received the products... Now that's not the issue... The issue I have is that my mega prize for the 1,000,000 dollars and 5,000 a week for life was attached to my order and my order arrived today 3/18/2015 and the mega prize entry was due on March 11th 2015. So basically I missed the deadline for mega prize because it was delivered with my package. I called pch and I was basically told it happens, due to the two week delivery time lapse of package. That's totally not fair because I had no choice but to miss out on that mega prize... Now I'm wondering do you guys do this all the time and give that bogus excuse to a "loyal member"?

Rather curious how, when you seemingly are about to win a prize, the website suddenly has "Technical Difficulties". This has happened to me several times now over the past few weeks and twice today. On the daily "21" game, I drew 21, then it hung, then "technical difficulties", refreshes the page then only awards 3 "chips" instead of the 5. And I did not get my chance to "play" for 25K dollars. I have also noticed in the "balloon pop" there is always at least one that cannot be popped with the dart. My guess is it is not coincidence.

Was sent many notices (over fifty) that my entries were confirmed and that each entry would have its own different assigned number. This is false... Previous to the contest # 4900, I was sent an E-mail stating that I had only ten confirmed entries to contest #4900. This is false and misleading. I was also sent an E-mail stating that the $5000 a week winner was going to an address in my zip code...92116. All this prior to February 27th, 2015! Falsehoods and time consuming ads were a regular part of their tactics that would lead anyone to believe that they had a better than 50/50 chance to win or like 90% chance.

I entered to win the 7,000.00 per week contest and have been playing the games for months and am receiving emails from PCH... Now when I try to play the games my computer freezes up and I get a message that PCH is not responding. Also, I noticed that when the advertisements came on it would freeze and not let me finish the game. I did not order any merchandise from them and glad I didn't.

Several games on pch.com not loading to play for 8 weeks now.

Gosh, I've been exploring this website PCH.com, and it's been daunting. There are no odds posted of any of the games, as there are on the Lottery websites. Comparing the odds of the PCHLotto to Lottery using a Lottery Calculator I found this: PCH Pick 7 of 42 to win $5000 = 1 in 26,978,328 vs Lotto Pick 6 of 52 to win Jackpot starting at $2 milliion = 1 in 20,358,521.

I ordered one set of LED Lanterns and the order never went through, so I tried a second time and it went through. Next I get an email that I ordered 2 sets. I emailed them back and said, "NO, I ORDERED ONE." They sent me two anyway, so I immediately sent one right back to them. I paid for the one. Now they continuously keep trying to bill me for the other one that I don't even have. HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU I ALREADY PAID FOR THE ONE ITEM I ORDERED? You sent two items, and I returned one of them immediately. WHY DO YOU KEEP TELLING ME TO PAY FOR SOMETHING I DO NOT HAVE? I will call the attorney general in NY if this continues to complain about the scam you are pulling. This is what I keep sending back to them. This is the order number they keep claiming is mine **.

I have just finished calling PCH and canceling a subscription I never ordered and also some kitchen towels again I also did not order. Apparently the PCH shopping cart is automatic and DOES NOT REQUIRE you to checkout and pay for your items! I Repeat, the shopping cart at PCH assumes that you have bought everything on the list and does not require you to checkout and pay for the items but rather goes ahead and ships them out to you and bills you for them. I did not even know that I had inadvertently added these items to the shopping cart somehow by mistake (If I did actually do that, as I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt here, since the other option is UNTHINKABLE).

Placed a couple of orders with PCH. Products were cheap overpriced Chinese junk. Have devoted many hours over several months playing their various games, getting tokens, and using them to enter sweepstakes for various products. Haven't won anything. My advice. Don't buy any of the junk they're selling. If you have an hour or so to kill everyday, jump through the hoops, and maybe you will win a $5 gift card for Amazon. Other than that, don't plan on retiring with your PCH winnings.

PCH games you must complete to get your entry entered? Every sweepstakes I enter is the same, you get locked out.

I have completely lost all faith with Publishers Clearing House. I've been entering for 4 years. I've been unemployed for months, not eligible for any government assistance, still paying rent and utilities and have a grand total of about $500 in the bank, which will most definitely be gone by next month. I'm only 21 and living on my own, and I'm willing to bet that the winner of today's "forever" prize has a nice fancy house and lives in an upscale neighborhood, like all the other winners.

My father was also hooked on winning the sweepstakes. He always bought books. Many volumes of health related books, and lots of others. He was sure he would win. Every time the envelope would come he would fill it out, make a purchase and drive to the post office to mail it right away. He never won anything. When he passed away, I donated the books to different charities and was shocked at how much he had spent on these books. Never read them, but was sure that a purchase would insure that he would win!! My husband was also hooked...he would not leave the house when the Prize Patrol was supposed to deliver the big prize to a lucky customer in our neighborhood!! He never won, but I did not let him buy anything from PCH, knowing that it would not help him win. I'm not sure if anyone ever wins. It's just a big waste of time and money!!

PCH is a sham. Their sites constantly crash. There is no way that it can be fair. I've been on there many times and get junk and the system crashes for me all day, but it seems some people - usually the same ones - always get through and rack up huge numbers of tokens. I filed a complaint with their customer service. Magically ever since, every game I play pays the bare minimum - 50 tokens, 100 tokens. Nothing good in the two weeks since I filed the complaint.

I joined pch last week... in time for an end of Feb. Drawing. I looked at a few things to purchase, put two in my cart, looking for other items to add and thought I would decide at the end what I wanted and didn't want. Can you imagine my surprise when I got my order printed up and all ready to be sent out? No credit card, no information, no address... nothing!!! I could not locate a phone number on any of their emails. Finally, I googled them and got a phone number. Yes, it was pch, no scam... and everyone automatically has credit with them and guess what? The drawing has now changed to the end of april. How many elderly are being scammed by these people??? I told them, I did not want their credit and cancel what they decided I needed.

You start off with a comfortable number of PCH e-mails, sponsor offers, sweepstakes entries -- a reasonable amount of time to devote to PCH every day. It is fun, at first. Invariably...they GET GREEDY! You will be punished for your efforts! Avoid all SEARCHES. They start off with one search e-mail per day; then it's two, then three...then, these e-mails will each start asking you to SEARCH three, four, five times/day. They will say you are a special -- silver, gold, whatever --PCH searcher to receive these "opportunities." Your "reward" for participating is to be asked for more and more and more searches -- AVOID ALL SEARCHES!

I have filled in the forms and responded to all their requests, but I continue to be bombarded with emails indicating that if I don't fill-in one more request to receive the possible winnings, you'll be disqualified. I'm beginning to think that PCH is less of a true sweepstakes and more of scam to bombard your email system. Of course once you've invested a certain amount of time trying to fill in these requests you almost feel obligated to continue. The most frustrating part of this is that many of the web pages sent to "take action now or you lose your number" don't work.

Last night I found this site, and spent about 45 minutes or more reading complaints. I joined PCH Games less than 45 days ago. Before I read the complaints last night, I had personally already won a $5.00 Amazon gift card my first month. I couldn't relate to any of the complaints personally but am keenly aware that you DON'T have to make a purchase to enter PCH sweepstakes. Now here's the kicker. As soon as I left this site I went back to PCH games, as I thoroughly enjoy exercising my brain for free. After completing the Daily Word Roundup Frenzy, I clicked on the daily chance to win, and I WON the daily $250.00!!!!! At first I thought I had won 250 tokens, but it clearly said I won $250.00.

I had a person call me at work and said I won pch 2.5 million dollars. Had me all excited, made me cancel plans, come straight home then made me change into a white shirt. Told me the camera crew was coming then told me to go to the bank and withdraw $300.

Attempting to find total amount I owe. I wish to pay by check. Things have changed. I used to be able to give my customer number and receive an amount due to date. Cannot get through to find a record of purchases.

Came across this site early this morning and now don't feel so alone in my thoughts about PCH. After reading all comments, I can probably identify with three quarters, so no need to expound any further on my experience. I have been entering the sweepstakes for the past few months and have come to realize all is an exercise in futility. I shall never, but ever again participate in Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes. Because of the millions of entries, the odds of winning anything are almost impossible, if at all. I find it quite odd that the "winners" all seem to have their own homes and are fairly comfortable.

Charging delivery- products cheap made from other countries. Charging way too much... Take the USA middle class jobs away..

I somehow got my name on one area as BonnieBonnie. Might have slipped up, but can't get rid of the second Bonnie. Also, on map directions, the address is correct, but the map shows our home on Noah's Way. It isn't. That drive is about a quarter mile from ours which has no name, just our street address. I waste way too much time on the site.

Whenever I'd try to sign up, it would go to buying products. If I don't buy after the first set of products it would kick me out. And I tried several times. How will I register?

I want to share a story with you about my 92-year-old mother who passed away January 17, 2015. My mother was a very alert and energetic woman who lived independently right up until the time of her death. She was a very able person who took care of her own finances including paying all her bills. However, in January of last year (2014) she became a victim of the deceptive advertising tactics of Publishers Clearing House. PCH transactions began showing up in my mothers bank statements in February 2014. Through December, she wrote checks to PCH for a total of $1662.52. When we reviewed her financial information we discovered that she had a balance of only $164.28 on 12/24/14. In previous years she had maintained a balance of over $2000.00.

I have been a loyal customer of PCH for right at 10 years. I have filled out entry forms for their big money drawings and I have played so many of their games where I supposedly have chances to win anything from tokens to cash to vacation trips. So far the only thing I have ever earned from them were tokens. I have (for about 5 years now) decided that it is all a bunch of B.S. They send me letters and or emails telling me how close I am to winning but I can never find the winner in my area. So I do tend to agree in my opinion that something is awfully close to being a fraud or a fraud case. Wish someone out there that knew how would look into to it.

We've all seen the commercials from PCH, win millions for life, thousands for life and even after life (pass it on). Well I decided to see what it was all about. The short of it is PCH wants you to stay at your computer all day everyday and purchase items on their site. The odds of winning a prize is like finding your sister in china at night. Ok?

I've been playing pch games for months now. I have over 200 thousand tokens and have yet to win ten dollars!!!

I thought I didn't have to purchase anything but it wont give me a confirmation number if I don't. I can't get my cards to load and I've never won anything. I've spent a lot of time trying also.

I'm sorry but I have been watching and playing PCH for a while now. Did not understand it in the beginning; but I'm catching on more and more. You are locked out of a lot of the games, most of the games do not load, the daily tokens are impossible to reach and most of all my son and I sit all day on this PCH and redeem tokens and re-earn our tokens. You cannot get into the Superfan club, it will not allow you. My son and I both tried and tried again to do so and he is a wise straight A students and knows the computer better than I do.

I just want to say I do not understand why PCH sends out a form to fill out, but when you got on the computers it wants you to do all of the hoops. If I never do all of them and I only get the paper form in the mail, does that mean I will not win like everyone else that does the same thing? Then we have been duped.

I would recommend using PCH if you have a bunch of free time and an extra email address. I spend a lot of time dealing with sites like PCH and apps that say you can get free money and win big. I actually have won on PCH only once though. I won a $20 Target Gift card. I had accumulated about 1.2M tokens at this point. This took me about a week playing every single night for about 2-4 hours a night.

So I have only entered their sweepstakes twice. I am not that desperate for money, just thought it would be neat if I could win. The last time I did not think anything of it. But this time I used my personal email address. They send you about 5 emails a day. Plus they give out your email even when you specify not to. I have been getting about 30 spam mails a day. It is ridiculous. And the "unsubscribe" buttons on them do not work. Trust me, that 1 in 1 billion chance of winning is not worth getting computer viruses and a million spam emails that are totally inappropriate.

I too have done everything each email has asked. Responded on time, used their search engine, and played all their games, yet I still get their emails saying I have not complied in time. My whole days have been filled w/ hours of fulfilling their requests in hopes of being that one lucky person to win. I'm homeless due to a scam on craigslist for a house to rent. I'm beginning to wonder if anything that is online is true at all. I just want to say I'm having the same trouble and to say to the people that think they are doing something, "its not you!!!!" I'm so tired of being heartbroken, lied to, scammed, and left penniless from these rats on the net!!!

I was playing the Pch cane game with friends. I had the money bag, it stopped going thru with it and gave me 250 in tokens. What a bad thing to do. I play everyday. I know that should of been a win. Very disappointed. It makes believe it set to not let us win cash, just tokens.

I ordered and paid for a subscription to Readers Digest through PCH in October 2014. As of Jan. 10, 2015, still no magazine received. I called and requested that the subscription be canceled. The clerk said that I would be issued a refund check since no magazine was ever shipped. I did receive a check, but it was not for the full amount. I understand where they get their money! Take it from the customer, never send the ordered product, and then refund a lesser amount! What a racket!

After going over a large number of the reviews & complaints others have posted, & having them resemble the exact situation my grandmother went through, I felt compelled to speak out. It seems not only my grandmother but a very large number of other elderly seniors as well, were led to believe the more they purchased, the more they were bettering their chances of the jackpot. Every piece of literature received was, to them, the final killshot that'd bury their chances @ the millions unless they fulfilled whatever PCH was requesting @ that moment. It's not fair for anyone to take advantage of &/or take from anyone, especially elders with dementia, Alzheimer's etc. There are special places for folks such as these for their evil acts.

I had been playing for almost a year 8.5 millions tokens and o wins. A lot of sales and secondary scam companies and tablets and computer viruses attempts, no responsibility, cheating and changing numbers in between. Also lying and frustration.

I'm about to give up on pch! I can't get to the sites, can't redeem tokens, games freezing up, but they keep sending msgs about forfeiting my chances to win. I am sick and tired of the whole thing. I had been a loyal fan for years at one time! If I had a dollar for every time I've tried to win, I would be rich now!

I have been playing their online games. This generates about 10 emails per day. Those emails have increasingly had bad links. Usually it says something like 'Bad Request' and 'Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand'. Since I am clicking on their link, it doesn't make much sense. It seems like it is their control mechanism. I get the same responses trying to contact their customer services. Interestingly though, their payment mechanism ALWAYS works.

Sick and tired of playing PCH games and doing searches. Nothing but useless tokens and wasted time. Makes me angry. Somebody tell them keep their damn tokens, I want cash. Even when you win their stupid little games, all you get is an entry to win. WTF is that. What happened to the instant cash win they claim!!! From one really pissed off user.

I've entered recently and I've noticed that after doing everything they have asked, it STILL tells me that I haven't acted and that my chances have been revoked except for one and that was today. I'm very upset because I actually use their search engine and play ALL of the games possible. I even entered into other sweepstakes through them I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I even Googled what to search for so that I could be playing it right. I don't know I kind of just want to give up you know? But I don't want to be that one that gave up and it could have been me. I guess we will see after the 27th.

I have been entering Publishers Clearing House since my dad gave me my first entry form at 13 years old. I have been entering since then. I am about to turn 60 ... and I hate to think this is a scam, but I have no other choice but to think so... I have purchased products, wrote them letters to try and get in touch as of this date... Years later, still nothing... But I still enter...hoping that maybe this time I would be a winner...

As soon as you sign up. you'll being to get upto three (3) emails per day! Then... as if three emails a day weren't enough, they begin to send you "complaint" and "late" notices if you don't play the stupid, fake gambling games they offer (pretend blackjack, pretend lotto, pretend scratchers so ** stupid). PCH begins to harass you- as if you will forfeit your chance to win their alleged 5k for life (odds of winning somewhere around 1 in 1 billion) and they will start to send you "complaint notices for not playing their STUPID online fake gambling games. PCH is ultra cheesy!!! (The ads and marketing material they send you is stupid, designed for desperate people who have no ambition and no options to succeed in life...or perhaps compulsive gamblers- same thing). Do Not sign up for anything through their services. The bottom line is that they really want you to do a search through their search engine so they can sell marketing information to Google and yahoo to make your ads more specific to your interests. PCH SUCKS!!! SCAM!!! Do not waste your time. Work hard and you'll make more money than they'll ever pay out. I'd give them -5 stars if it were an option.

The products ordered did not go as the advertisement stated. Example: Water hose (expandable) started to leak and burst, and upon examining the hose it was very cheaply made, the cost 39$ and at local hardware store 15.99 for the same hose. We thought we were getting a good deal. The second we opened the box! It was like wow is this it. Not only this order but 5000 a week for life...I entered to win, not be told that someone in my area is the winner. I know nobody wins but to continue with the same stuff over and over is most likely a con game. I just wish just one employee there could tell us the true facts about this never ending bullcrap, and to admit that only one person out of 320 million is the Winner.

My father recently passed away - he had late stage Alzheimers - he was 87 years old. The last 6 months he was rated as having the mental capacity of a 6 year old. His memory did not allow him to read since he no longer comprehend. He had virtually no ability to create any short term memories. Once he read a sentence he immediately forgot it. His wife is 94 years old and blind.

Ordered 2 items. Paid using credit card. Items arrived with bill showing I still owed full amount. No reference to credit card payment. Bank statement shows full amount was paid a few days after order was placed. PCH = NO! Class action?

I have won small amounts from PCH--$50.00 and $10.00 checks as well as $10.00 and $20.00 Amazon e-gift cards over the last three years. The Amazon e-gift cards were both this past year. Prior to these wins, I used to win occasional magazines from their old website. I have played for long periods of time without winning anything, but I actually enjoy their games and dreaming of winning. I have been ordering from them for years, and have "earned" 27 mil tokens on their various game sites. Many unscrupulous people pose as PCH--especially on Facebook and Twitter. The real PCH DOES NOT issue friend requests on social media, nor do they announce the winner of their various sweepstakes in advance. (I was told via Twitter I had won in November... I knew it was a scam, but the scammer used a real picture of a member of the Prize Patrol. The name was just a little off). The company that issues vouchers for expensive items is NOT PCH...although they do have a similar sounding name...probably intended to confuse the folks who buy these items from them.

I ordered a multiple socket plug and included my half off coupon with my order. When I received the item, I noticed I wasn't given half off. I called and spoken with customer service representative named Jay. I told Jay the reason I was calling. I was told that the half off was taken included in the price, which I disagreed. I mentioned if that was so, why was the half off coupon was included in my package. Jay went on to tell me that he saw I would be getting a check through the mail because I have won the scratch off. I asked again about my half off. Jay told me I could get the half off if I settle the bill right then which I paid with my debit card. This happened in Jan 2014 and to this day I never received a check for winning the scratch off. I too have ordered many items from PCH and most did not work. I no longer order from PCH anymore. I do not have the order number. I chalk it up as a lesson learned. DO NOT ORDER ANYMORE.

PCH called me and told me I could buy 5 magazines for $19.95 per month. They said I could cancel or change magazines at anytime. This was done over the phone and I never signed any kind of contract or was told that I'd have to pay any kind of balance if I did. When I tried to cancel, PCH told me that I was responsible for over $1,000 to pay for the magazines that I ordered. They said I could cancel but that I had to pay my balance. PCH tried to continue to bill my credit card for the monthly fee. I took that up with my Credit Card agency and they blocked the payments. I had to do this twice. Now I have gotten a bill through the mail. Can they sue me for the balance that they think I owe them for something I never agreed to over the phone? There is no signed contract and I was definitely misled. There was no receipt. This was all done over the phone.

I was notified I needed to do an interview so I called. I was never told why I had to be "interviewed". About 20 minutes later, I received an email telling me I would no longer receive email or physical mail because I met the criteria PCH had agreed to with the Attorney General of the state of Florida. I was never told what the criteria was but I met it. I did some digging and found that 33 states and the District of Columbia had imposed restraints on PCH when dealing with senior citizens. A little more digging and found PCH was reprimanded in 1999, 2000, 2014 is the latest I could find, for using terminology that is confusing to people (older folks, seniors in other words) in making them think they won or were winning the sweepstakes. Also, if you spend a certain amount, you are "blacklisted". No one at PCH has told me what that amount is.

I am 79 years old, you make me think I have won it big with all the things you say in my mailers. If I only buy something I will be the next winner! I think it is not right. Who would not want to win, you tell me. Someone with VT in my town will be the next big winner. Some of the stuff I have got from you like little bottles of glue that will not stick that cost way too much? Covers for food that don't work. But because I am going to win big I keep buying!

Ever since I started playing PCH on the computer I've had a lot of issues with my pc. It seems that PCH shares all your info with several companies regardless if those companies are a scam or not. Also I really feel that PCH's online site isn't a protected site at all. I always get multiple pop ups every time I'm on the site playing games or doing anything for that matter with the PCH site. The pop ups slow my computer down big time & also makes it freeze a lot. I don't have the issue with freezing & pop ups much at all on other online sites, it's very, very rare on other sites. I've been playing PCH for years & haven't even won $5 gift card. BUT, when my husband started playing he won a $5 gift card almost right away. But he wasn't given away access use of the card or prove that he won it. Also PCH had somehow linked his PCH account with mine & he uses a totally separate email address. So this made both of our PCH accounts invalid at that time, I guess. So I called PCH and they told me they will have my husband's account unsubscribed & for him to wait at least 2 weeks to start another PCH account. So we did that but now he doesn't receive any emails from PCH other than the first & only one they sent when he re-activated his PCH account.

Pch keeps advertising merchandise to buy each and every time you play a game or check their email. PCH members sometimes send a video to you asking to make a last purchase to be put in their final drawings. PCH also broke their promise that you pay only a monthly installment on merchandise purchase. Instead, they bill you for the whole amount and claim that you are late with your payment and that your account need to be paid in full. What about the monthly installments you've been paying them. I am also unhappy with deceitful email letters they've been sending me. One time they sent me an email stating that they tried to deliver on a certain date but fail. They also sent me maps and pictures of someone driving over my house to deliver a prize. They also told me that someone with my set of initials in my hometown will be pick for the next winner.

It amazes me that while playing the games that in the middle of a scratch off card that after 2 or 3 scratches that the rest of the card will not load. When it is time for the bonus cards they will not load because I'm not able to complete the previous card. PCH says it is my computer... Well if it is my computer how come all other games will load and play?

Entered a contest, but after being bombarded with emails tried to unsubscribed. It's been a month now and I continue to be inundated with emails despite unsubscribing every day. They are Cyber-Bullies and they need to be put out of business.

Playing this wastes time. Why? What is the significance of my PCH token number always ending in a 6?

I enjoy playing one of their games. However, when I play multiple times with high score, game freezes, hesitates, & I get the message "An Error Has Occurred." So, I lose all my points. Happens over & over again.

I was playing pch games and got up to 10,300 tokens and when I tried to redeem a prize on my android it would kick me off the site. This is a low down dirty shame and they been out for years and didn't get looked into by the bbb. Sorry to say america is sad for letting them get away with that. Stay far away from them.

When PCH was still selling magazines using those little stickers, I used to order the maximum of four magazines and mail off my sweepstakes entry. The magazines would start arriving, and I enjoyed reading them. Eventually, as the prize deadline came and went (and I never won anything), I would start getting billed for the magazines, at which point I wrote "PLEASE CANCEL" on the bills, and that was it. I did this every single time I received a sweepstakes entry from them. Over roughly 30 years, I got hundreds of magazines this way. Seemed fair, considering their literature strongly implies that you are a heartbeat from winning millions of dollars that never come. The kicker is that they never took my name off their mailing list--instead, because of the sheer number of orders I placed, I became a "Premium Customer," or something like that. It makes me laugh to this day thinking about beating them at their own game.

I just don't understand why it keeps saying, "Jacqueline you are the next winner, we have a winner in your area," but nobody has ever won crap in my area, and on the online games they lie about saying you can buy stuff with your tokens! This place is a lie!

I've played their games 14,000,000 and never won a damn thing. It's a total waste of time. Scammmmmm.

I also have played PCH for over 20years and haven't won a penny. We see the fake commercials but they never actually show a real winner. This is all a bunch of bull. How can all of us play for years and don't win anything. Boy, do they blow up your emails with that crap several a day?

I am tired of receiving the PCH emails. When will it stop?

What they say is the price on the order flyer is very different from what they bill you. I recently returned items and they were not accounted properly and the price they reflected were inflated - eat up my previous payments. This place is very dishonest. Has disappointed me and I will not do any more business with them. I hope they refund my monies.

On one occasion, I was promised a new Ford SUV if I made 3 written (what I call are pitches). No acknowledgement. On another occasion I was told I would receive $40,000 if I wrote (again, I call pitches) to their OCH Front page, "search and win." Again, no response. They are constantly after you to buy something. I understand, by their advertisement, that no purchase is necessary. Some gimmicks they use to pump a person up are (1) Super Circle VIP, (2) winning number match, (3) Super searcher, (4) part of a special group of loyal participants, (5) Super searcher achiever. Nearly everything is act now, hurry, don't risk losing out. All is hurry, hurry. You'll miss out. The stuff they sell is plain junk.

I have the PCH VIP app on my android cell phone. I play it every morning. This morning I played it and the second part I did the scratch off, which was for $500 and it showed I won the $500. A frame came up for me to claim my cash prize and to click the claim button. When I did it framed up with an error message. I couldn't get back to it. Now I don't know what to do. I have no way of proving I won, so what can I do?

This is more of a request for assistance. I read one review regarding the consolation prizes, just wanted to know if anyone else has had any experience with this. Today I received in the mail a check voucher for $800 to go toward an HP Computer. The letter with the voucher said I'd won a consolation prize and could put this voucher toward the computer. I'd prefer to just have the $800! This seems like a scam to me and especially in the light of another review on here where someone had the same experience and said the computer was not worth what it was advertised for. I'd have to pay about $350.00 toward this computer. Is there any way a person can demand the cash as their consolation prize instead?

I received a packet from Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes with 6 $400 vouchers which could be mailed back along with your check for the difference. I ordered one of the computers and I had to pay the difference which was $385.74. Well when it finally got here, it was not what was advertised and I returned it, and the gentlemen (Harold **) said he could send me another one that was new not refurbished but I would have to pay another $140.13 COD when it was delivered. I said okay. So the "new" one they sent wasn't worth what they said and I paid out of pocket $525.87.

They mislead you in thinking you could win or make you feel important. What does DQ stand for on the blacklist? Very tired some to keep on playing. Have you going through hoops. Won't be trying no more.

I have been entering Publishers Clearing House for about 38 years and I can only say they are misleading a lot of us that are already hurting and in dire need of a break in life, if what so many say is true I will quit. They put you thru too much to just enter anyway!! Very very sad! They also keep billing me for things I have already returned!

They're saying that I won again ten thousand a week PCH US1 million something like that. I think that I got to go get this card so they get authorization in order for them to get the money to me tomorrow.

My husband decided to order some items from Publishers Clearing House. Unfortunately, they would send multiple bills for the same item and then I'd have to spend time researching to make sure I had paid it, when, had the check cleared, etc. We started getting threatening letters, sometimes before we even received the merchandise. Long after I reconciled all bills and had confirmed them all paid, I continued to be billed. I called. Supposedly it was all handled and we had a zero balance. Well about a month later (now September) I received a bill for something we paid in June, that I confirmed in July by phone was paid. This is nothing short of fraud. What about our elderly who don't know any better and just continue to pay the bills they receive? In addition my husband ordered some magazines. For one subscription we hadn't even received it yet and we were receiving renewal notices. For another, we had only received one copy and were receiving renewal notices telling us our time was up. I can't help but wonder how many millions this company milks out of unsuspecting customers.

I have never ordered from PCH until this year. I have a debilitating chronic health condition which makes it difficult for me to get out and shop. If I see a practical item I can use I'll order it instead of trying to go out shopping for it. I had ordered a few things from PCH for that reason. Two of the items never arrived even though I have paid for them. If you don't pay in a certain amount of time they charge you a late fee, never mind that you never received it. In August I was on vacation one week and when I returned from vacation I had an email from PCH saying they were processing my order from August 14th, and a few days later another message that it had shipped even though I sent a message that I didn't order anything on August 14th.

When I asked PCH if someone does not want me to win? This guy said that I and thousands like me can never win as long as I have a DQ on my account. He said it means you’re on the blacklist - 27 yrs makes me wonder? Could they have such a program?

This is my third complain. My PCH accident reference is **. I have received a bill from the PCH that I didn't expect. I put an advertised product to my basket, then I have change my mind and didn't process to the checking/paying page. I have wrote it in my letter to PCH, and got their response by e-mail (05/05/2014). They said that they are removed all charges, and I may also disregard any requests for payment. But few days ago I have letter and call from Collection Company.

Publishers Clearing House is like playing the lottery, your chances are a billion to one. I know they say that don't use your buying info but come on I have never meet anyone that has won any of their sweepstakes. We as suckers keep playing in hopes that one day we will hit it big. I have also noticed you can't reach token numbers on the games that they show off to the side. I haven't even won any of the small dollar amounts such as the 10 dollar or the 50 dollar prizes. I refuse to buy any of their stuff but I keep playing anyway at the hopes of making something. I am glad I have a job because if I used this to try and make anything I would be really furious.

Tried to invoice my 84 year old mother for a product she never ordered. I have been paying her bill for the past 2 years. I asked for proof of purchase and they sent it to collections instead. I just sent second dispute letter to them. They have now discounted the price by 30% if I pay now. All this effort for $20. Why would I pay them anything for poor customer service and unethical behavior? Stay far away from PCH.COM and publishing clearing house.

In PCH.com search & win online Sweeps games I won the instant bulletin 3080 valued at 2m lump 10.000.00 a mo. for Life & a new Lincoln. PCH had publicly online screened message Delawarean winner WOW 3080 to be announced on NBC News for June 30th 2014 event. When I won in April after the winner announcement PCH deceptively valued it at only 2m & PCH claimed if I claimed it now they would put 2m in my bank account tomorrow. You need to know should I done this, I would have immediately forfeited any full value or winner circle opportunities for the full value. This was deceptive and they knew it. To claim online prizes for winnings you must registrar sweepstakes prizes and make validations & claims you must do in their online games to rules to claim prizes. They don't tell you this or obligate themselves to pay anyway because they don't want to pay and they don't really want you to win...

My number will be dropped. First, why can't I get what happened or consequences required field to open?

On July 30, at approximately 831 am central time, I won $500 on their $5000 instant win bonus game. It then rolled to another screen and told me congratulations, you've banked 1000 tokens. I didn't win tokens. I won $500. They set up their customer service so you can't get anything resolved. They will not honor it. PCH is not designed to pay out. It's designed for them to get richer by wasting your time with their products and ads.

I was told it was 4.95. Then later during conversation it went up to 39.00 for 30 months. They kept on lowering the amount (for magazines). I told them I couldn't afford it. They offered opportunity to win car, 2,500.00, and 500.00 in coupons. I stated I just can't afford it. The lady Bridget said that they would credit back my account 4.95 in 72 hours. She pressured me then hung up on me.

It all started on the night on July 30th, 2014 when I received a call from a man tell me he was the head of handling the prize for Publishers Cleaning House! Then he continued to tell me I have win the 5 Million dollars in Michigan. And he even said I was the winning of a new car as well! He gave a prize claim Number, some phone Numbers and EX! What I was asked to do is to go to my nearest Rite Aid and a Green Dot Money Card, put 8 hundred dollars on the card because PCH would want to make sure I could pay the 1% tax on the prize! Tell me this - when has Publishers Cleaning House ever called anyone before showing up at their home! It seems like a big scam to steal money from good unsuspecting people! Too bad for them, have seen their kind coming before!

Constant bombardment of emails three or four each day, all hollering you can win. I have won nothing but useless tokens which you spend on chances to win nothing as they never award anything. The constant emails border on harassment. They also say you have to resubmit numbers every day. Once should be sufficient since the number of entries do not help you win a thing.

I was first notified on Friday evening about winning. Then on Saturday off and on all day I was notified of a 1.5 million dollar win plus $10,000 weekly for life. And just yesterday I was notified of the one million dollar millionaire. I was congratulated and asked if I would be ready for the prize patrol visit. Again last evening as well all the way up to about 3 am this morning. But I was told the taxes were $1000 and they'd pay $800 but I need to go get an approved card from Walmart store to pay the other $200 for rest of tax.

I just received an "expiration" notice from PCH warning me that my prize number was going to be dropped from the "winner selection list" if I didn't take "required Action". I have also received a half dozen or more messages on my cell phone with the same message and a link to their website which, after reviewing a series of product ads, would reinstate my prize number. I complied at least 6 or more times and they tell me again and again my number will be dropped if I don't review more ads! My prize number should remain valid after my first submission! This is a fraudulent practice and should be stopped!!!!

So in June, I was randomly picked to do a survey for PCH for a "free gift" and I gladly accepted! The survey was brief and at the end a list of free gifts popped up to choose from. On this list was the product Power Up Garcinia Cambogia, which I chose. All I had to pay was for shipping which was $4.95. I have read the reviews for this product as well as the reviews from previous purchases and EVERYTHING WAS POSITIVE! So naturally, I picked this for my gift. There was no additional disclaimers just my email from PCH acknowledging my purchase.

PCH took over my android. I had an offer from PCH for 50% off a mag. After my order I was not able to do searches, pick up email or contact Verizon without pop-ups. It took hours for Verizon to get my phone working right without a factory reset and losing any data on my phone. Tried to contact PCH but they were no help.

Has anyone else received em or snail mail saying something to the effect of "Someone in Charlotte NC (my city) has won $1000"? If there are many cities then I say scam. My RM is elderly, sends everything back to PCH, bought a bunch of useless things thinking this increases her chances, spends $100s on stamps, gets her hair done the day before they are to come to your house & NOTHING EVER. She has been doing this for years. I know a lot of peeps in a lot of states & I know of nobody, nor do they that have won one dollar. Please let me know. If so maybe she will finally stop. If this is a scam, they need to be put in prison. It hurts me to see her continue to do this.

I placed my order for an inexpensive item with publishers clearing house. Along with the order I affixed the "free mystery gift" sticker on the order form. I received my order and to my dismay, I was charged $5.99 for the ordered item AND $4.99 for the free item in shipping charges. A total of $11.00 ship charges for a very inexpensive item. I called customer service and advised the rep I will deduct the $4.99 from my payment. The rep advised when I put that "free mystery gift sticker" on my order I agreed to pay the extra shipping cost for it. I am returning the entire order at my expense and will never order again.

I would time and time again complete the application in hopes of winning. Nothing. I would go through this for months. Each time they would tell me that I am a winner. Of course I would get my hopes up and would wait with great anticipation thinking I was a winner. Then it would finally dawn on me that Publishers Clearing House was misleading me. Going through financial difficulties you would hope they would come through for you but they don't. I hope you guys are investigating these people because they have been misleading consumers for years. It's about high time they are held accountable. Thank you.

I know nothing of the company as a retailer but I love the games. I think they are fun and present a chance to win things. I feel that many of these reviews are from people who expect to just get free stuff with minimal effort. If you look at the odds (which they make available) and if you've ever been on some kind of reward-based site, you will realize that you're going to have to put in a lot of time, regularly for a long time in order to get anything. But it's free, so why not? No one is obligated to give you free things.

Publishers Clearing House has inundated me with billing statements that has caused me mental and physical hardship. I am requesting one million dollars for the damage. My bank took all of my money and closed my account due to their actions. I have documented evidence from the bank that they used unfair billing practices. I don't have any money.

I have played their games and filled out hundreds of their sweepstake entries and have never won a penny. The few items I have ordered from them were pieces of crap. I think you're disqualified if you do not place an order. They always have on the order form that an order would be appreciated. I feel they are scamming people.

I ordered from the company but not magazines. I was satisfied with my order selection. I tried to cancel (through the magazine) and it stated, "There was an agency" that made the order. Looked up the info of my account (somebody else made) and it stated it was paid??? And if I need to cancel go through MORE STEPS! Not happy.

I have never ordered anything from PCH and don't plan on it. I received a confirmation email and figured it was a mistake. When I order anything, I input payment information. I emailed them several times with no response. They sent me whatever and I will be placing it right back in the mail. Doesn't make sense to send people items without getting payment. I feel sorry for elderly that are falling for this nonsense. I already have a flag with the federal government for my ss# being stolen. So, I will be taking this up with the credit bureau if they insist on payment. Everything is well documented.

I've been playing PCH games for years & I have never had a problem with dishonesty. PCH is very fair on all accounts. There are thousands of people playing their games per day & entering their tokens for a chance to win one of their cash or prizes. I have won on PCH games a $500 Walmart gift card. You know how hard it is to win the lottery. Well, PCH is all based on odds too. Though your chances of winning with PCH is better than winning the many states lottery. And they do list the winners every month. It is on a running banner on their PCH-games site. And you can build a large amount of tokens if you're playing every day & you play the special games that offers 10 times or 5 times the tokens. It's not that hard. I love PCH games & sweepstakes. It's good FREE fun.

I'm rather irritated. I'm playing the games and redeeming the tokens. But they aren't sending me the gift cards & cash. It's like $3,000+ I've redeemed but nothing. Does anyone know why this is and if they will send stuff?

I have been entering PCH and playing the games on PCH games. I have ordered many products from them - all that turned out useless. I bought The Cats Meow for our cat and after a few days, he got his claw caught and was bleeding. I emailed PCH about it - no response. I also have redeemed millions of tokens toward gift cards, never win a thing. I would like to know how anyone score so high on PCH games and win so many tokens on pch.com on - it's impossible. Are the people with the high scores even real? They never show who wins the gift cards either.

I have tried playing ALL the games, entering all the contests, and doing everything that earns tokens. On a good day I might get 30,000. I have asked PCH repeatedly how the token leaderboard shows names with daily token amounts in excess of 140,000 and never get an answer. I just want to know what I'm missing. The games are fun but I'm not sure there is any real opportunity to win anything.

I play the Slots, Casino, Black Jack and Bingo games. The following is examples of how they're rigged from each game. And as I said I have a 4gig Memory Card to prove it.

GAS PORTABLE GENERATOR 1300 STEELCRAFT - Having problems with gas shut off valve on generator need new one, went to their customer service page online. They give info about everything, but where you need to go for repairs or part replacement for products they sell to consumers, seems like they are avoiding these issues. Just make a sale and they are done, just let us the consumers know online or by phone everything else seems to be there that we need.

When you win it's a refurbished computer. This is crap. I already posted it everywhere.

I was sent a "Free" gift, but was charged PS&H which to me means the "gift" was not free. I returned it requesting a credit for the PS&H. I'm still waiting. An item I did order didn't work, so I returned it. I'm still waiting for credit on the "No questions asked" return. Their advertising states "4 Easy Payments." I have paid one-half of the invoice charges upon receipt. The follow-up statement calls for the remaining balance to be paid immediately, instead of indicating only approximately half of the remaining balance is due. Most of the merchandise I've ordered, I've later seen in stores for the same or lower price, plus by buying locally, I save the PS&H.

I do not want any PCH popup ads on my Google that is **. Please do away with ads.

2 families from our church entered PCH; 1 bought their stuff, the other didn't. Did anyone win? They both lived next door to each other. The brother who didn't buy anything won 5 million dollars back in the mid 90's so this company isn't a fraud. That changed that family's life. And I hope I can get a break in life like they did. I have so many people that I want to bless and first things first, 10% goes to God first.

I received the drain snake order from Publisher's Clearing House, tried it out today and am returning it today. Came with a ton of ads but not one instruction, some kind of useless turning handle that doesn't work. It is truly a waste of time, money and earth's resources. Just another example of Chinese Junk and not even the good junk. I am unhappy I ordered it, but especially unhappy I gotta pay to mail it back. I will never again order anything from PCH.

Why is it when they send out those Winner Notification packets knowing that all they are trying to do is get you to buy stuff from them that is marked up higher than the consumer value? I know this because I've ordered from them thinking that hey maybe they will notice me because all the crap I've been buying and maybe, just maybe my name will catch their eye and I would get to be the winner but no, that's not how it works. I may not be correct about this but if people actually do win from them, it's probably done by RANDOM NUMBER GENERATORS to pick out the person who wins. Please tell me what you think. Thank you.

I have been playing PCH for a long time and I wrote to Attorney General and complaint to them and it look like PCH win their lie. So the next best thing to do is go to the Supreme Court - just have proof. Hope a good lawyer.

All I can say, it's a scam. Nothing works, you can't win any of the games. I've only been playing since the first $5000 a week for life. Then it went to $7000 a week for life. Then it went to $1 Million a year for life then back to $7000 a week for life. And now it's $2 Million + $10,000 a month for life + a new car. One day, I was playing the scratch off's and it played all by itself! I never even touched the mouse! Then it came up and said "Sorry, here is a 1000 free tokens." On all of them. I complained about it and it was all downhill ever since. All I ever got was 100 or 250 tokens. Were do they get all that money anyway? That much money, they could take this country out of debt fast!!

Sent back order that was not what I wanted. They say I owe them. They just keep billing me.

Judging from all these other e-mails regarding the Publisher's Clearing House, I guess we all feel the same way. This is the worst kind of scam, where they keep telling you that you are one step away from winning... then make you jump through hoops to enter. They require you go through the same old worthless offers, time & time again, hoping you will be foolish enough to buy something. The worst part is that they sell your name & info to their affiliates & sponsors, so you get 100s of e-mails and calls for things you don't want. If you have absolutely nothing else to do and don't expect to win anything, ever... go ahead and play. I bet you will be sorry in no time. They prey on people who so badly need the money, they will try anything. Shame on them. I would love the law to put a stop to this.

If I'd have known how huge the odds against winning PCH, I never would have bothered with all the day in-day out activities that they insist on--as if they made any difference. What a waste of time and breath! I used to ignore the PCH mailings, but they caught me off guard online, which just goes to prove how foolish I can be when my guard is down. Unless you have absolutely nothing better to do, opt out of PCH early and often. In case PCH doesn't mean anything to you, it's Publishers Clearing House - and they constantly try to sell you magazines and clever little housewares.

I was playing Wheel-O-Riches when the spin landed on $500.00. When the screen changed all I got was 500 tokens. I wrote them and got some lame brain lie. Since then their Information Technology department has flagged my ISP address, and now all I get is the lowest possible token award on the board. I have been keeping statistics for 3 weeks and I get the lowest tokens almost 75% of the time and possibly higher. Anyone who reads this and has been ripped off by PCH and has Charter TV/Internet should call them and file complaints as Charter is one of their biggest advertisers.

The recent 7,000 a week for life *cough* 30 years or up to 1,000,000 *cough* contest #3080. On the day before the 30th they announced there was no grand prize winner for the contest so they went to the back up 2nd prize as detailed in their rules which is all fine and good. However I haven't been able to find a trace of what the grand prize winning numbers were anywhere. Doesn't PCH have to reveal that number by the 30th even if they say "there was no matching winner when the number was chosen"? I highly doubt my number would have matched but I'm getting a feeling that there could have been a grand prize winner and they are sweeping it under the rug so they can handpick somebody else. (And it's not just this recent give away that I'm concerned about, many of the others I've seen online have no notice of the winning numbers). If somebody knows or can clarify where these numbers are to look up, I'd appreciate the information.

Since 1991 they have given away the "$$-a-week-for-life" prize 4 times. This is how they get around it. They claim the "winning #" was not returned "in time", so they give a second place person 1 million, and they do do that, but it gets them out of the "a week for life" prize.

I really enjoyed PCH games until I really started paying attention and most of the games is same thing over and over. On the cash slot game, I hit $20 and they said it didn't show. Then I hit a $100 and all of a sudden jumps off. Then it tells you it's loading KIIP. Then says it can't download. So what is the sense in having game if it's going to get people's hopes up and not win. Pointless.

I entered PCH's "win $7000.00 per week for life" sweepstakes on March 15, 2014. Since then, I have received at least 3 daily e-mails from them containing what I consider veiled threats that my name will be eliminated if I do not follow the instructions in the message. I am fed up with looking at the same "catalogs" featuring overpriced junk with ridiculously high shipping charges. I can go to Walgreens or Target and buy the same items for less and without paying for shipping. PCH is the biggest scam I have found. I will put my experience with PCH in my blog. Is there a government agency that regulates companies like PCH?

l have played PCH Sweeps & games for 60 yrs. I have never won. It is a Time waster & fraud! I have read all the other complaints and have experienced the same thing. The way they keep you suckered into keep playing is almost criminal! They make you think you can win but you never do!

My 93 year old father has been entering PCH sweepstakes for over 15 years. He is lead to believe his winning entry is just weeks away, then it does not materialize. He still keeps entering and buying useless, poorly made stuff that they refer to as prizes. It has become an obsession and I am at my wits end as to how to end this. PCH is nothing more than a scam that uses the law and their lawyers to protect themselves.

Isn't there an easier way to enter sweeps? Have tried numerous ways to enter to no avail. Tried info from TV advertisement Pch.com set for life even indicated current sweeps 2014 still can't get to enrollment form.

Just a little tired like most people opening mail from pch as a daily basis. Each time tells me I am on a list and must reply to will reams of paper do not have to order and so forth.. Would like to tell them today it is going in the recycle bin so quit sending them.. Also would like to return last purchase. I just paid for a purse.. Would like a return label..

I ordered and paid for a corner plug device ($27.95) the first of January this year. My check cleared on January 15 as being deposited by them to Wells Fargo Bank. They are now harassing me by mail and e-mail stating that I have not paid. They have added a $4.50 late charge to my bill and are threatening further collection activity. I have called them several times and faxed a copy of the cancelled check and I still got another e-mail today requesting payment. I have complained on their Facebook page and a gentleman named Alan ** says he is looking into this. What do I do next? My husband and I have excellent credit and want to keep it that way. Can I complain on their Facebook page every day? The very next e-mail or letter I get, I will request contact by an attorney.

First of all, PCH floods everyone with advertisements at an alarming rate getting millions of sales through the mail system which just by postage stamps costing consumers multi millions of dollars, and then there's the data usage from internet - several daily offers to enter, mostly the same giveaways for months on end and when you stop entering daily they threaten to expire you from the drawings, costing consumers millions in data usage to enter. In 51 years I've never known or even heard of anyone winning anything other than maybe 3 or 4 TV commercials showing people knocking on a door to present a supposed check. So, where's all the winners PCH is giving ALL this $$$ to??? I think it's a multi billion dollar marketing scam on the public and I'm getting sick of entering. It’s become redundant to continue wasting money to enter anymore and I'm not buying the lots of people win lots of money theory they impart.

Get Firefox and install adblock. This removes the ads, pop-ups, annoying videos etc. Games go quicker. The sweepstake games will also go quicker if you have two windows of firefox and send the different games to tabs. It takes me 1/2 hour each morning to go thru the Instant wins, scratch offs, sweepstakes, pclotto, pcgames, pcslots (hate the game, sometimes I skip it), pcbingo and blackjack. I have over 14 million tokens, and have not won anything. The current top token winner listed has almost 11 million points.

It takes 7-10 login attempts to get in to play game. It then takes 50-60 tries before game plays. Game locks up and have to start over. Times 3 games it takes 6 hrs to finish 3 games. 3 1/2 hrs already and only the 1 game done. Your mobile version sucks. I had been emailed 15 times that I'm missing my chance two get 2nd #'s for the big drawing. I can't get them because I can't login to play the games that won't play anyway. I smell a rat here and contemplating what legal if any alternatives I have against you. You don't even have an actual complaint dept to notify in case of problems. Maybe this is consumer fraud.

I have ordered from you guys and most of the items are pretty good though your nutcrackers really suck because the handles fall off because you barely use any glue on them. I have been playing the PCH games for about 3 years now and entered off and on even before that and you keep saying someone in my area with my initials is definitely going to win and yet no matter how many times I enter I have yet to win. Also you keep saying that an order is not necessary to win yet you keep sending me drawing entries where I have to go through page after page of items you're trying to sell to me and often have pop-ups that will literally beg me to look again and order.

I have been doing PCH since the 80's and I do not know of anyone who have ever won. First if they really do give out cash prizes and millions of dollars, why is it not on major tv stations like the lotteries? I cannot afford a computer at this point so I have been doing the mail forms. For the past 3-4 months now I have been making copies before sending entries in. It clearly states NO PURCHASE NECESSARY, but some of the forms clearly show MUST PURCHASE WITH THIS FORM. Now what I need to find out is how to do a lawsuit as I remember years ago they were busted for throwing away entries that did not have any orders in them. I personally think they give bonuses to their employees to pose as a PCH winner as there is no way they can give out all of that money. $5,000.00 a week for life, $7,000.00 a week for life, $1,000,000 a year for life. NO WAY......

I was playing the pch slots on Publisher's Clearing House' site. I already had 2 bonus symbols from the first spin, then I spin again and get another 3 bonus symbols and the page comes up and says 'ERROR'. Hahaha...... what a scam. See my attachment for proof!!! This seems to be happening to everyone that plays slots. It's unwinnable!!!

I have had the Cash Slot app on my phone for months and put thousands of chips through it and never won anything. Right now I have 34,490 chips to play with. I have the other 3 app. on my phone and play them every day and go to the website and play all the games, watch all the ads and then put all the points into the drawings and have never won one cents. I don’t believe anyone wins anything.

3 mo. That's 4 wk. in a row my initials won but each mo. I have no idea where I go to verify if my initials did win! They tell you they won but not where to be sure? Your 3 mo., 4 weeks in a row & don't tell you where to check it out. I think it's a big game to them!!!

The constant e-mails advising me to act quickly to claim a prize are just SPAM. The daily e-mails often list past winners. I have been unable to locate any names matching their prize winners in any of the communities referenced. Also the listed winners seem to be focused in the NE and Midwest. Why no big winners in the inter-mountain West. Why has this company never been investigated? They are spammers and scammers. BEWARE CONSUMERS.

You know I am without a doubt that this company is a scam. I just checked the latest reviews and all of these poor people feel the same way I do. Rigged PCH games, funny thing is half of them don't work properly. Not only that but in order for you to get entries in the PCH Lotto, they want your credit card info. What happened to playing for free? Also I get these stupid emails telling me that if I don't act fast that my entry would be forfeited. I've entered every day. I used to get kind of excited. Now I've noticed a pattern in the emails. My advice to all of you, you're being screwed outta your money and time. I'm done with PCH. They are a bunch of crooks. When they start asking for your credit card info is when you should really think twice before trying to win cause at the end of the day you're not going to win squat!!

They are a complete fraud and although it's our, myself included, choice to interact with the untrustworthy entity, if they weren't in existence at all, many lives would be better. Each day I'm hopeful, like many others, that I would win at least a gift card or a $5 cash payout to prove to myself that I've not wasted my time, for countless years, trusting in a company who would blatantly scam innocent individuals. Some for money and then others merely have been misled into believing that chance would bring the needed money for their families or perhaps minutely for their own happiness.

I believe PCH has been sued for this before. No one with the letters LD in my tv viewing area won so that is a scam and they have been sued before. I think I am going to file a legal lawsuit against them for false advertising.

I was playing in PCH couple years ago and didn't win anything, based on advertising I'm supposed to win at least something. But I got a lot promotional emails, ads. This time I tried again and of course I am not winning, and getting a lot of ads. I played lotto, scratch, spins and other games, and they do look to me as bogus. PCH is claiming that it's easy to win smaller amounts. I am going to unsubscribe and will deactivate my acct.

Purchase bingo cards with earned tokens. While watching my cards during play, I noticed that the numbers change on the cards. Since there is an opportunity to win cash, I think that PCH should not be allowed to rig the games.

I have been playing bingo for almost and probably one year. I get a lot of letters but never the O in the jackpot so why can't I get that letter? I feel that I am being discriminated against and you don't want me to win.

After months of playing their stupid games, just so I could get a few more entries into the sweepstakes while having fun playing the games, I suddenly run into this problem where I have to sign in every time I want to collect my tokens. This is **! My computer is set to keep me signed in and these ** make me sign in every ** time I win some tokens. If you can stop that ** from happening I would be one happy customer!

I get 3 to 4 emails a day warning me I can forfeit and telling me to search now and been playing the games and offers. Been doing it about 6 months, haven't won nothing but wasting my time. I am going to stop since they playing games with people minds and wasting folks' time. Shame on Publishing Clearing House. Stop wasting people time.

For one week I have received this message every time I log in for Publisher Clearing Housing...Whether it is on my Facebook site or internet explorer..."Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Size of a request header field exceeds server limit. Cookie/n Apache Server at ppchweb07.logs.pch.com Port 80"...This message hinders me for logging into PCH...PLEASE HELP!!

A scratch card from PCH fell out of a magazine I got in the mail. "Collections" the scratch card fell out of, I read the directions, albeit they were in small print, and scratched the scratch offs and got three cherries in a row across the scratch playfield and it said I had won $33,333.33 if I mailed it in within 10 days. I filled in my name and address and put a stamp on it and put it in the mail drop at the post office November 11, 2013 11 am, within in the 10 days I received the magazine. The tiny portion I was allowed to tear off and keep said winners would be contacted and have to fill out an affidavit allowing the use of their name and photo. Sadly, I never heard from PCH nor a request from them to sign an affidavit. Cruel hoax to pull on someone who could have really use that money. The entry was so small it was impossible to take a photo of it. So the little piece I didn't have to send back is all I have so doubt a case could be made.

I ordered two pineapple upside down cake pans from Publishers Clearing House and after over two months of waiting, both were damaged when I finally received them. The cake pans were dented and the coating was coming off of the pans where they were dented. I mailed the pans back to Publishers Clearing House with my own money and asked for a refund and to not bill me for these pans. The response was that Publishers Clearing House doesn't pay for return shipment of anything. I paid almost $9. It's not the amount that I spent that makes me upset, it's the fact that they could care less what I paid and I am not the one who shipped damaged products to myself.

I asked for a return shipping label and was told that the return postage had to be paid by me. Also, I would not be given a refund for this.

They actually want you to buy magazine and products I don't actually need. I bought TV guide subscription thinking chances to win a prize would be better, I played all their games and nothing happens only points. It's a fake and should be not be allowed to make people think they're going to win.

On May 26, 2013 Dave ** said I won the mega prize of 1 million dollars and 5,000 a week. When I sent my chat with Mr. ** to my email he change what he said to what I said and what I said to what he said. They know I won but they refuse to pay me so they scam me. That's what they do. I have proof to what I'm telling you, email, and I will send it to you. My computer burn playing all of their games. I'm using my daughter's today. It will take some time for me to get back with you but I swear I'm telling you the truth.

Today, 11-7-2013, I just finally decided to look up the real facts of PCH, and it brought me to this place. And I am not shocked at all by hearing that it is a scam. I know that "if it's too good to be true, then it ain't real," but I still want to believe I can win if I play enough. Since I signed up with PCH.com, I got a ** load of junk email in my inbox wanting me to buy stuff or to try this and I can get rewards to try it. Couples of weeks ago, I entered that $7,000 week for life. They have sent me this form that looks so professional saying I am entered into the contest, if I play those scratch card games, MAN ALIVE!

Pissed about multiple billings after paid in full - threats of collection agency action. I will pay again, but will tell anyone I can about these finger and toe counting crooks. They should not be allowed to conduct their deceptive trade. Also much of their product line is overpriced junk. Pure junk. The clip on lights fall apart by turning them on (item being over billed). Saw them in Dollar Tree for 99 cents compared to four dollars 50 cents. I would not buy gold for a buck an ounce from these people. Count me an ex-customer.

Over time my mother had a series of small strokes. She was very good at hiding the symptoms. By the time we noticed she had racked up quite an account with this organization. She has been diagnosed with dementia. All along she was playing the sweepstakes in her name & my daughters. Signing her name & my daughters & had 2 separate accounts, all played from her (mom's) computer & her one email address. I phoned & spoke to several representatives over the phone & it was agreed that I would send back as much products as I could find. Some of the things on the list even the representatives did not know what they were???? So I took pictures of everything & returned them in the mail.

I have been entering since 1978 but it only says since 1995. I have ordered a lot of products and magazines especially within these recent years. Because I do order so much, yes I have had to send some products back. I have never had a problem returning an item. In fact, I have found PCH to be very helpful! I also have a lot of really good products I use everyday!

Someone may win within time but let me tell you I've received 10 different calls from out of the state with telemarketers trying to sell me something in the past 6 hours. I just got this phone with a new number so I know no one would know my name with this #. Only thing I could think of is the PCH. They constantly send me junk mail I have to scroll all the way down to find my mail for work or anything else! All in all, they just want you to buy stuff from other companies or sign up for stupid crap! If anyone knows how to remove them from keep calling me, let me know!

On May 5, 2013, received an email stating someone with my initials in the TV viewing area of my zip code 53711 would be the winner of 1,000.00 giveaway # 2891 which no winner was ever given. I do have a copy of email and copy of my entry. "More good news, Lynda! It is also confirmed that a nationwide search for a super prize winner of $5,000 a week for life includes the Madison area. Giveaway No. 1830 Nationwide Entry Area includes the 53711 Zip Code." I have this email still in a folder. I am having trouble with uploading it. I can send it to the lawyer by email.

I think that's just to select which prize you're eligible to win. It's not instant win. This one right? (image below)

I have yet to find a price on PCH "special" deals that I couldn't find elsewhere on the net - ranging from a little cheaper to way cheaper with a little research. There is is nothing special about the merchandise they market and they certainly aren't good deals. It's a come on to make them TONS of money.

These people just called me tonight and told me I was past due on my bill of 83.00. I have been paying them 25.00 a month but they still harass me for the money every week. I told them today if they do not quit calling me I am going to my attorney general. Also I told them you failed to cash about 6 checks for a total of about 30.00. They actually told me the checks probably got shredded. I told them that is not my problem. The more they harass me the less money they are going to get.

I ordered an item from them and was expecting a summary bill showing all associated charges for my approval before final submission. That never took place. I just received an email confirming the name of the item ordered and the date. No other information such as order number were included to enable me to cancel. Since I did this on Sunday, I had to wait until Monday morning to cancel by phone.

Ok so I tried the so-called PCH Games online for chances to win. Yet I have to agree with the ones that say they play and when it says Wilds, it goes into error. Played the slots games 2 times and on both received wilds and went into error message. This is a scam. They script it so you can't win anything. It's pretty clear with the picture I posted that I had 4 wilds and this was not the first time. If you don't want people to win, why keep PCH going? Yes it’s free and not like the lottery but least with that you won’t get error messages. Pictures below.

Every day I play the so called VIP chances to win. Today I played the clown head water balloon game. My balloon finally popped first and I received a message saying you did not win. Those people rig those games. I am not blind nor am I stupid. I actually thought they were legit. But I saw today with my own 2 eyes what a SCAM they are running. Isn't there something to be done? Why have they been allowed to scam so many people for so many years?

Ordered The Lost Books of The Bible from PCH some months ago. When I received them and began reading...I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The print was as if it had never been edited. The punctuation was horrendous! I sent in a payment and a note describing (I do not have access to a printer and am disabled) the inferior quality. My dissatisfaction with their product and that I will never order from them again. I received no response only another bill. PCH is shameless.

If you play PCH, you have a better chance of winning something, anything, with the lottery. Once you join, you'll be bombarded with spam, the likes you will never see from any other games. Every couple of days, you'll get another game or search that says "final offer" and it never ends. They will lead you on telling you that someone with your initials will win in your zip code but it will never happen. These guys are masters of leading you on. So play, if you don't mind wasting your time. The only plus is, it's free to play. Another note, the stuff I've bought has been total junk and not worth any money. I bought a couple of subscriptions which wasn't too bad, but one, "Hot Rod" is so intermittent, I won't re-subscribe.

I ordered a dryer Lint Lizard from Publisher's Clearing House and received it in the mail after about a week. The only problem is that I sent a check back in the envelope they gave me and waited for over a month only to receive a notice that I am delinquent with them. I took a look at my bank account and lo and behold, they never cashed the check. I'm pretty sure it didn't just "get lost in the mail". I don't want to cancel the check because I will get charged for it, but I think that this is ridiculous. My wife and I have never had a company not cash a check. We ended up paying it from their website and got a confirmation email. I just think that it is stupid that a check that probably arrived back in their office a week and never got cashed. We had money in the account the entire time so there was no reason why it wouldn't...oh well. Didn't affect my credit, so who cares? Just won't use a check the next time and use their web payment system to avoid it not processing.
