I started with PCH about a year ago with low expectations. I wasn't disappointed. Along my PCH journey I was dumb enough to make 4 purchases they repeatedly make you feel guilty if you don't. I kept it to low dollar items. The quality of the merchandise is so-so. I believe they make a good deal of money just on their shipping charges.
I compared the items to what I would experience using Amazon Prime. Prime was not only cheaper on the item, shipping was free and I would have had the merchandise within a week. PCH took almost a month with each item I bought. So, I'll likely reach Red Diamond status in a week or so, and I'm ashamed to say that with all of the inane ads I've been exposed to and all of buying pleas I've sailed through, I've not won one cent and believe that I ever will.
PCH makes for a great time-wasting buddy that will keep you out of trouble unless you gamble on games. Have you ever met anyone who has won anything on PCH? I didn't think so!!!!

Since playing the PCH games for a good while now, I have fun.
But, pch games are very cool to me. You never know what can happen? For years I've entered the PCH sweepstakes and they always say you needn't buy anything in order to win. This year I tried once again and was advised via letter that I would receive my final documents for entry within two of receipt of said letter.
I felt compelled to write this review because this sort of behavior has been going on for years and someone has to say something. I have been playing Publishers Clearing House for decades. Most recently, online. Check your Hollywood-similar name rosters and SEE if you can draw a conclusion! Yes, others "win" smaller but NOT at this ratio!
Check out the names of PCH hierarchy too. The Federal Trade Commission should investigate this, but, my guess, is they would be paid off too. HOW many times has someone played to Win? HAVE they won smaller prizes before? How many entries did they submit when they won a jackpot? DO long term players get beat out by new players when TV ads appear just days before final entry? I hope this saves some of you more grief and clarifies what I have been through!
Been playing for 16 years; so far, I've won a whopping 10 dollars within that time span. It could be them.
And they show them getting this great big huge check and I think makes other people kind of think, well if it happened to them, it can happen to me. The emotion and joy that people showcase when they're surprised and they win is really kind of infectious. Narrator: The marketing campaign worked thanks to its exciting TV commercials and signature manila envelopes that arrived in mailboxes all over the country.
But by the '90s, the company faced some trouble. Numerous states sued the company, alleging deceptive practices that made customers think that the more magazines and other products they bought the better their chances would be of winning the big money.
Actor: Smart people don't enter those things. Narrator: To be fair, the company has been clear for years that no purchase is necessary to enter the sweepstakes, but apparently it wasn't clear enough to the states that filed lawsuits against the company. The trouble came to a head in when Congress passed an actual law called the Deceptive Mail Prevention and Enforcement Act to better regulate Publishers Clearing House and companies like it.
Announcer: You've just won our forever prize! The company currently has approximately 15 million registered users and that's largely due to the company's pivot to digital. In addition to magazines, the website has thousands of items of merchandise for sale.
Mike Shields: They're a really big digital business now. They're still a mail order company. You can sign up and get stuff delivered to your home left and right, but they have daily prizes all the time. You can sign up for these sweepstakes. Narrator: Another one of the company's biggest assets is its customer's data. Mike Shields: They've got a large customer base that's really willing to give their data.
They've got people's names, addresses, ages. But a legitimate-looking win notification should not be enough to make you believe you are a big winner.
Logos can be copied, names of legitimate PCH employees can be found on Google, signatures can be forged. You need to be familiar with how PCH really notifies its big winners.
Here are six tips to help you spot PCH scams:. If you receive an email, a telephone call, or a bulk mail letter saying that you've won a big prize from PCH, it's a scam. According to the PCH website :.
So if you receive a prize notification by any method other than certified mail or an in-person award, you know you're being scammed. Scammers extort money from you in exchange for a promise of a prize that never materializes.
The truth is you never, ever have to pay to receive a sweepstakes prize from Publishers Clearing House or any other company. If your prize notification asks for money to pay for taxes, to release the prize, to pay for customs, or for any other reason, it's a scam. You don't have to give Publishers Clearing House your address, bank account number, driver license number, or any other confidential information when you enter.
You may have to fill out an affidavit to verify eligibility if you win, but not when you enter. If the entry form is asking for this kind of personal information, it's a sign you are on a spoofed website. A spoofed website tries to appear like the official PCH entry form. If you use it, however, you transmit your information directly to scammers instead.
Here are some tips on how to identify fake websites. A popular sweepstakes scam makes it appear that you're not really paying for your prize by handing over a check and asking you to send back some of the money. After all, they're providing the funds, right?
Those checks aren't legitimate, and you'll be left holding the bill. Read about check scams for more information.
