GREAT M&M'S® BRAND CHARACTER VOTE ONLINE INSTANT WIN GAME & SWEEPSTAKES

Like usual, M&Ms has a great prize, this time, in the GREAT M&M'S® BRAND CHARACTER VOTE
ONLINE INSTANT WIN GAME & SWEEPSTAKES
, $50,000 is the grand prize, with lots of smaller instant win prizes. The entry system itself is easy. That's the good part.

My complaint here, like with other M&Ms sweeps is that it is terribly slow loading. When designing games like these I really think the programmers should have to test it from computers and connections other than those they are being designed on.

AT&T Green With Envy

I would have to repeat my complaint about the original Green With Envy Sweeps again with the current version Make Them Green With Envy.

My biggest complaint would still have to be that just logging in does NOT give you an entry into the sweeps. You have to play the game to gain sweeps entries.

SUBWAY® FOOTLONG NATION APPRECIATION™ GAMES

I'm disappointed in the entry system for The SUBWAY® FOOTLONG NATION APPRECIATION™ GAMES. Entirely flash based, it's a very slow loading game on my machine. Starting with the long lasting intro that cannot be skipped through the games. You HAVE to play the games, which are again slow loading, no click here if you cannot see the game link to make it easier for slower connections.

The one thing in it's favor is that the codes required for entry are easy to obtain.

Hostess Halloween Instant Win Game and Chance for a Million Dollars Sweepstakes

Well, Hostess makes it less than fun again. A lot of trouble for a sweeps entry where the $1,000,000 sweeps prize may or may not be awarded.

In Hostess' Halloween Instant Win Game and Chance for a Million Dollars Sweepstakes the entry process is the same for the instant win portion and the sweeps entry. You have to log in and play the concentration type game to gain a sweeps entry in addition to a chance at an instant win prize. No entry into the sweeps just for logging in, no click here if you can't see the game option. No mail in entry option for the sweeps portion.

Even if you're lucky enough to be chosen for a chance at the million dollars, you still have to choose two envelopes with matching pieces to win the million dollars. Odds are the million will not be awarded.

All I Want for Christmas This Holiday

Universal Studios All I Want This Holiday is a dream to enter. You have 15 chances a day to win up to $100,000. You can bypass viewing the trailer on the start page, log in and the click here if you can't see the game link is avaialable for the instant win.

AT & T Make Them Green With Envy

Gotta love AT &T. They run most of their sweeps different than other companies. The Green With Envy Sweeps is another example. Most sweeps, even those with instant wins, just logging in gets you an entry into the sweeps, whether or not you play the instant win portion. Not AT & T. You log in and have to play the game to gain entries to the sweeps.

Another problem I have, is that even though I have given eprize and AT & T permissions in Firefox, the game freezes up, I have to use another browser. I've found that to be the case in most of those run by AT & T.

Chase Picks Up the Tab

Chase Picks Up the Tab Has a very easy entry form. The tab order works as expected and the verification code is nice and easy to read. Robo doesn't fill in all fields at first, but you can fill it in and save.
