Decent online contest for Canadians (Xbox 360)

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Having already won I feel that I should let as many other people know about this as possible so that they too might experience the joys of victory.

The site is: http://www.befirsttoplay.ca

They are giving away an Xbox 360 system plus a bunch of other stuff ($700 value) every hour for the next month or so. You get PIN's to enter the draws on various products, or you can fill out a short survey on the site to get a free PIN every hour. You're only allowed to win once per household but there doesn't seem to be a limit on the # of people per household who enter, so you could create multiple accounts to increase your chances. I entered as many times as I could (eventually with 2 accounts) and it only took a few days to win. The link to get the free PIN's can be found on the Rules page.

haven't won yet...BOOO STAN FIELDS!

ok. got me some doritos and entered. 30 minutes until i win! ha.

wait - so once the specific hour draw in which you entered has passed, you can't use that PIN again for the next hour(s)? i assume that's the case. boo. that's a whole lot of doritos/pepsis...

Dude, you can get free PINs from the Rules and Regulations page. They don't colour-code the link, cuz they'd rather you'd buy something, but it's against the law to discriminate against COKE DRINKERs.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:52 (twenty years ago)

I assume once you use it once you can't use it again at all. Is that right?

oh, new hour!
yes, only valid once, I think?

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 20:16 (twenty years ago)

hey antexit i was just about to email you about this!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 20:19 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, looks like I've got a new job.

― antexit (antexit), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 20:35 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, a PIN can only be entered once. Losing entries don't carry over to the following draws either.
It's great when you finally win. They had a very similar contest last year and I ended up with a couple iPods

anyone else find the security codes kinda hard to read?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 21:56 (twenty years ago)

Stan, a COUPLE of iPods? How many times a day were you entering? What hours did you found worked best? I really want to get on board this thing.

― antexit (antexit), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 23:18 (twenty years ago)

Last year I stopped entering after winning 2 iPods. One of them I won in the morning and the other maybe 3 weeks later just before I was going to bed. It really helps if you have someone around who can do entries or atleast claim PINs for you for hours that you're unable to. I just tried to enter as many times as I could. Sometimes I would save up PINs and try entering more than 1 at random hours but that didn't work. I don't think there's any real strategy to these things, it seems like its more just luck and persistence. There's a lengthy thread about the contest at:
http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=201072

Alot of people from that forum have already won, hopefully a few people from here can too.

Has anyone else had any luck yet?

― Stan Fields (Stan Fields), Wednesday, 19 October 2005 19:21 (twenty years ago)

I only entered once and didn't win. Getting the free PINs is too big a pain in the ass for me. Did you win?

― Bryan (Bryan), Wednesday, 19 October 2005 19:23 (twenty years ago)

Nope! I've entered 100+ times and I'm getting pretty sick of doing it.

― antexit (antexit), Wednesday, 19 October 2005 19:23 (twenty years ago)

I'm in the same boat as Bryan. I mean, I wouldn't mind a free Xbox, but I'm not that desperate to do this over and over and over...

But I might try a couple more times just in case.

Yes, I won before I posted about it here. I even got my "party-in-a-box" portion of the prize yesterday; a metal carrying case, Doritos/Pepsi coupons, t-shirt, pen, and other useless stuff

― Stan Fields (Stan Fields), Wednesday, 19 October 2005 19:28 (twenty years ago)

I did it once an hour for a day (the day this thread went up), and I don't think I've won yet. So I quit and I will never drink Pepsi again.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Wednesday, 19 October 2005 19:40 (twenty years ago)

goddamn i'm sick of entering this contest.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 19 October 2005 19:44 (twenty years ago)

If you win another one, Stan Fields, I'll do your taxes for you and give you a hundred buxxx.

― Bryan (Bryan), Wednesday, 19 October 2005 19:45 (twenty years ago)

Deal.

― Stan Fields (Stan Fields), Wednesday, 19 October 2005 19:53 (twenty years ago)

Cool. I may also have to hire you to teach me to use the thing as I wouldn't have a damned clue.

― Bryan (Bryan), Wednesday, 19 October 2005 20:31 (twenty years ago)

I was entering it constantly but yesterday I read the rules and I'm ineligible :(
