They should choose 9,000 people at once. I'd have a much better chance of winning.

 

[Yusaku]

Where does it let you make referrals?

 

[Speevy]

Check the thread for a link.

Oh, are you guys talking about the stupid pyramid scheme shit?

No.

 

[Baron Aloha]

I want to get in on the referral thing too. My email addy is ...............

Anyone who sends me a referral will get a referral in return.

 

[Yusaku]

In that case fire a referral off to <edit> then.

 

[Baron Aloha]

I just sent referrals to everyone up to Yusaku. Y'all better return the favor.

 

[Yusaku]

Thanks for the referral. I'll send another referral to everyone in the thread for thanks.

 

[Yusaku]

Man, it's a real bitch to get it to accept the codes.

 

[Yusaku]

Entries per drawing are starting to increase sharply, but I'm not sure if it's just because of the time of day. I'm gonna hold of entering a drawing until tonight to see what the pattern is.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

Just played for the first time

 

[Yusaku]

Interesting. I'm looking at the 3pm drawings. All of them are around 300, but there's almost 750 for 3:30. I wonder if someone has already amassed a huge number of entries. It would be hilarious if the guy has a few hundred, and still loses.

 

[Redbeard]

Bah. I spent some time getting codes by creating e-mail accounts and referring, entered them all and lost.

If you spent enough time you could probably amass enough codes to win pretty easy.

 

[GitarooMan]

Just noticed that it has a maximum of 500 entries per account. So for those looking to amass codes, it may be a little more difficult (i.e, need multiple accounts)

 

[BuzzJive]

It also says that using multiple accounts will disqualify you. I suppose that's what family members are for though.

How many entries did you try?

 

[sangreal]

I've entered 45 and no luck

that is probably because I have been entering them in groups of 5 instead of throwing them all in one drawing

 

[J2 Cool]

Someone refer me please. BnBHawk124@aol.com

 

[Redbeard]

How many entries did you try?

I tried entering 26 at once, but it only let me get 9 in the first slot I tried, and I put the rest in another drawing.

I may do it again, but wait until I can get a couple hundred or so.

 

[Yusaku]

Keep in mind you can only enter 500 times for the life of the contest. Unless you have multiple homes you'd be out of luck then (I'm assuming they check addresses when you register).

I don't expect this Moutain Dew thing to be up much longer, since it's so easily exploitable.

 

[sangreal]

I have 2 addresses, but there is no way in hell I'm trying more than 500 times :lol

Can you enter twice with the same email? I accidently hit submit. Now Im re-entering with as many referals as I can make for this thread.. Or will be in a second if I can.

You can send as many referrals as you want (though you only get real credit for up to 5). You are only allowed to enter the contest with one yahoo account.

 

[Yusaku]

^^ You can just make up a name and email and forward the newsletter. It doesn't verify that the email is actually registered with every10minutes.com

I don't know. I don't need to try because I can just send a reveral to <anything>@domain and it will redirect to me. But I'm sure if I over do it I'll attract attention.

 

[J2 Cool]

Hmm. Alright. Realized I haven't even gotten my first processed yet.... Alright, now got it, with 5 names from here entered. I'll add 4 more entries in eventually with referals and all and stop. Btw, where does it tell the winners and such?

[J2 Cool]

Doesn't it only ask for a 1st name and email? All I see are initials up there and the town.

 

[sangreal]

no, thats just the referral page that asks for a first name and email

The actual contest takes your name/address and game choice (Madden or NFS:MW)

 

[J2 Cool]

Ah, think I may go grab 2 Pepsi's and grab 2 more with my buy one get one free caps that expire at the end of the month.

 

[Louminater]

Where do you guys see how many people are in per drawing? I don't see anything?

Also, the part where it says "countdown to the next winner", it just says "Loading countdown."

 

[Speevy]

I'm surprised no one on this forum has won.

 

[sangreal]

You see how many people are in the drawing when you select that drawing under Play Sweeps.

the countdown doesn't seem very accurate

 

[Louminater]

Also, I don't think it's possible to get more then over 50-100 per drawing for the sole reason that the thing tweaks up so often and you only got 10 minutes to submit them all.

 

[sangreal]

You can submit 500 and then enter them into a drawing if you wanted. They aren't automatically entered into the next drawing when you enter a code

 

[Baron Aloha]

Anyone who's played mind going into their account history and posting their already used codes?

 

[Vieo]

What do you think I should do? Enter once every 10 minutes, wait until like 3:30AM and enter them all?

 

[sangreal]

I just submitted 100 codes. I better win

atleast I qualify for a hoodie :lol

 

[Nester]

I submitted 110 codes for the 7:30 drawing. Not a winner.

 

[sangreal]

If I don't win this time, I'll try one last time w/ 200 codes or so late at night.

I've done 173 so far in total

 

[Vieo]

Yep. I think I'll get up at 3:30AM, on a weekday and school night. =D

 

[Vieo]

Anyone who's played mind going into their account history and posting their already used codes?

By the way, is this true? Codes that you've already used yourself are available for other people to use?

 

[Baron Aloha]

LOL. I've figured out a way to generate all the codes I want. What do you think I should do?

Use them all at once.

Then post the method for generating the codes!

 

[AniHawk]

so... how are people getting points?

 

[Yusaku]

so... how are people getting points?

Either he figured out how to generate the codes himself, or he referred himself A LOT. Either way it looks like this contest is pretty much broken out of the gate.

 

[Redbeard]

LOL. I've figured out a way to generate all the codes I want. What do you think I should do? Enter once every 10 minutes or build up 500 of them, wait until like 3:30AM and enter them all?

Aw man, how?

 

[J2 Cool]

Anyone know a way to generate lots of codes, pm me. I'll work around whatever time you go so I dont mess those chances up. Anyway, bought five 20 ounces today. Basically only 2 for me and my brother but we had some extra 'free' and 'buy 1 get 1 free' caps. Anyway, Spangreal and SpeedRazor seemed to figure it out as well. That's 3 guys with 100+ one one drawing. Somebody from GA has to win.... If these winners list are real people anyway. I'm looking at you Pepsi.

 

[Vieo]

You're on your own! =P

 

[sangreal]

Shit, I lost

Time to start building up codes again.

Anyway, Spangreal and SpeedRazor seemed to figure it out as well.

I already said in the thread how I'm getting codes. I own a domain name so referring myself is trivial (email to anything@domain is forwarded to my inbox)
