Publishers Clearing House (PCH)Reviews 607

I HAVE BEEN ANSWERING THESE ANNOYING EMAILS FOR MONTHS NOW BUT I HAVE WON TWICE. ONE WIN WAS FOR CABELLA'S A SPORTS STORE. I WON A 25 DOLLAR GIFT CARD BUT COULD NOT GET IT TO WORK ON THEIR SITE SO I CALLED THEM AND THEY WERE ABLE TO PROCESS MY ORDER. MY SECOND WIN WAS FOR A 10 DOLLAR WALMART GIFT CARD WHICH I HAD TO EMAIL PCH TO COLLECT IT AFTER WAITING FOR THEM TO MAIL TO ME FOR OVER A MONTH. THEY DID RESPOND QUICKLY AND EMAILED A CODE TO USE.

Pch I have never seen ur van driving any where in the world and I travel all the time why is that pch y haven't y'all pch van been seen ever

I'm finding that as the time gets closer to the "big" win, the website becomes more and more buggy so you can't submit your entries or play any of the games or slots or lottos. I don't actually expect to win but it is fun trying. Or it would be fun if the stupid website was decent. Even when you don't get a glitch or some other kind of problem, the site is sooo slow it is too frustrating to be fun. I think I've going to have to find some other online games to play.

I have started to purchase from their mini catalogs for 3 months and the first month the products came within 2 weeks... the second set of orders were placed and it took them 3 weeks to deliver and then I receive a letter from their credit department that my account has been suspended for non payment. I was furious because he sent 2 letters within 5 days of the first letter written. At this time I was confused because it stated when you purchased that you had to make either if you wish full payment or 4 easy monthly payments. To my surprise the letters were for the total amount and my account was suspended. Meanwhile I haven't received half of the items that I have ordered, so I called their service department. The young lady sound like she was reading from a script. She instantly knew my problem and with no hesitation demanded I must print out my bank statement to prove my payments. In this day and age, big companies like this don't have an accurate accounting system but in mean while I am receiving demanding letters for money, products I have not received. I wrote 3 letters to company head and hope they hear my story. My husband always told me is too good to be true about this company and he is so right. They mislead you about purchases, send you a total ill demanding money even though they say you can pay off balance within 4 months and their accounting and delivery department need to get it together. If everytime I make a payment, I have to print out bank statement is better I find another shopping network that has credentials and not so many complaints. The products are surely made from china and very poor quality. Publishers Clearing House is a scam. I have never seen anyone winning anything from this company. Total Scam..

I've been just playing my favorite games and letting my tokens "build up" so that I could have enough tokens to bid on a prize. Well I built up over a million tokens and had 1200 entries on a 100.00 cash card. I just knew I'd win that card. Guess what... I didn't get it. I've been playing for going on 7 months straight, day in and day out and still have won NOTHING! When playing minute games I notice that the "winners" are the same people! What's up with that. Now I'm really wondering if pch is a scam or not. I don't see anything that proves otherwise. The way it seems... I could be playing and entering sweepstakes for years and still not win anything!

Loyalty obviously means nothing to PCH. All too often, the Search and Win program resets itself back to "wow, look at you - you get 5000 points for your first search" when it's possible to go back and show the search for the previous day awarded 25,000. Talking to one of their representatives does no good. "Let me check into that for you and if we can prove you did search yesterday, we "might" be able to restore your points. Why? The system is apparently broken. When asked what browser I use and I told them Chrome 10, I was told they haven't yet upgraded their own programming to accommodate 10 because so many people are "really old" and don't use newer technology. I've been using computers since before they invented the internet so I'm one of those old people. What they don't understand is that old doesn't make you stupid! This used to be a fun diversion - I realize I will never win anything - but the consistent glitches are getting old fast. It's broken PCH - please repair it.

I have the play and win app. In the past 2 years I've won three times ($250 twice and a$5 Gift Card for Amazon). I have over 60million tokens and the only thing they're good for is trying to win prizes that we should be able to buy with the tokens instead. I have been playing PCH since the late 80's (through the mail) and I won't quit now maybe my turn to win is coming up soon. I'm grateful for the $505 winnings cause some people haven't won anything yet. Well good luck to all who will continue to play the game and for those of you who quit THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for giving me better odds of winning!

First off, PCH exists to sell stuff. Or rather, to hook up a zillion consumers with a million brands. PCH has no interest in giving stuff away: the games and contests (including the "sweepstakes" that you've already won) are click-bait to get you into the system, nothing more. There are no prizes.

But even if they were the Santa Claus they say they are, you stand a five times greater chance of dying before you finish reading this sentence than you do of winning. You can think positive all you like, but they prey on people who do not understand statistics.

Get a job, work hard, and don't live on foolish dreams of easy money. Read to your kids, use good grammar and groom yourself well. Use birth control. Use alcohol and other drugs judiciously or not at all. That's your best chance of success, and actually statistically will make you wealthier. This is your life. Get used to it.

I played everything on this site for 4 months. I reached the sapphire stage. During this time I had a lot of problems with my computer freezing and my security turning off. My settings notified me every time my security turned off and I had to reset it. Since I stopped accessing the site, I've had no security problems and no problems with the computer freezing.
Based on my experience, I feel the site is unsafe. Also, since I've been on this site I now get a ton more junk e-mail including penis enlargements etc that I never had to deal with before.
In the end, I decided that the site controls the scores on the games and therefore decides who will win. They claim no purchase is necessary but once when I paid a $100 bill from them, I scored 12th highest for that day--go figure?
Also, The items on the site are grossly overpriced, impossible to cancel and the shipping is out of sight! You would do well to avoid this site.

My mom been playing PCH for a long time! Had my name entered in for years now. I been receiving mail since I was in Junior highschool. Ever since my mom passed away in 2007 I lost track of PCH. Till one day I seen it on t. V. a commercial about PCH winning number giveaway 6900. I remember when my mom enrolled me so I decided to enter in her memory. Been playing ever since. Well entering. Like they say " you have to enter to win"... I don't know how long you have to play to win but all the negative comments need to stop and just be positive about it! You might or might not win simple. You will be suprised! Just enjoy playing PCH in the mean time! I know I will :) Live Love Laugh!
