I won the vinyl trellis from hoover fence company back in november (i think) . I like it and think it is a good program.

I have. I won the trip to London!!! I entered that sucker everyday, and won a few other stuff. Oh, I even have my win page. To me, I don't think it's the worth to lose your health if you enter it manually everyday because of wrist and back problems that might occur later.

Wow! How cool!!!!!! I guess I just prefer to enter manually.

Glad it is working for you guys!

I have been using Turbosweeps since December of 2001. I have not won anything but I have had lots of problems with it. Some really nice people(especially Wendy..thanks again!)here have helped me with it.

My latest problem is as follows. I was away this past week and when I came back ALL my entered sweeps come up as needing to be entered. THIS was strange in itself, have NO IDEA why that happened. When I enter the weekly and monthly ones the program refuses to place a check mark in front of the sweeps to indicate that I have entered. MOSTLY ALL the weekly and monthly ones will not display a check in the front once they are entered but some do. I have no idea why any of this is happening. The daily and 24 hour sweeps do seem to work properly at the moment. WHO KNOWS about tomorrow!

ANYWAY, I will keep using it but my luck surely has not been great with the program or with winning!

Anyone experience similar problems or have some idea as to how to remedy this?

THANKS!!!

Oh! See this is my concern.....

I don't have time to read all the rules for every single contest I enter. Say I win a really cool one....like $25,000 cash.....then they figure out I used TurboSweeps to enter it and they disqualify me! I would just kick myself! I know most contests do allow you to use the program, but some slim chance (which is what we have anyhow) it could disqualify me, I won't risk it.

The daily ones are the biggest pains in the butt...LOL So, I will only enter those if the prize is more than $1,000. My favorites are the monthlies and I have all month to enter them! LOL

Vie-
I found that if the annoying monthly entries keep coming back to haunt you, you can go to edit in turbosweeps, choose MARK ENTRY
and it will disappear!!!

hope that helps

Thanks for the suggestion but for some reason IF they get checked they do NOT stay checked. SO I will do monthly ones on the first of each month and weekly ones on Sunday. I KNOW that it is a problem if I add new sweeps mid-month or mid-week, but hopefully they won't disqualify me if there is an extra entry.

I AM GLAD I am NOT the only one with this checking problem! THANKS AGAIN,
Corganiacs!!

SUPER CONGRATS, thuspicy4u!!

NICE win for you too, chrischrisl55!

I use Turbo and love it. I enter about 200 daily sweeps, 100 monthly, 40 weekly sweeps, not to mention the 250 one time entries that I currently have entered. LOL
I could not live without Turbo. I don't think that you really have to worry about getting disqualified as this is not automated entry. You go to the page, you fill out the form, and you submit on your own. Now things like gepid or sweepstakes wizard are automated so I don't use them.
I win about 3 to 4 prizes per month. Most of them are not huge but fun to win and useful. I guess that my biggest win so far was "Microsoft Windows XP pro" It retails at $300 and just showed up at my door one day. LOL

Vieprivee you may want to check your INFO box on each sweep. Make sure that you have Monthly, weekly, daily, etc. in the line for entry. That is the only thing that I can think of that might cause the problem that you are having. You can also check the History to see when you last entered to help keep track.
PS I love being able to help!

Good luck All!

Thank you for the info guys! Hhhmmm....maybe I will try it again.....ah.....maybe not. LOL I am so goofy.....I have a system down pat here and I am comfortable with it.....I will think it over. So glad to hear you guys are winning with it!!!!!

I have a question!
oh, youre welcome vie

Um, do you all archive expired sweeps?
I dont. After they expire, if it happened to be a one deal thang, i just delete it. But some are monthly and I change what i put in turbosweeps to keep it coming back daily month after month

wss4 · #13 (**permalink**) 03-04-2002, 12:30 PM

I do not archive sweeps. Once they expire I just delete them. I figure if I win they will get in touch with me. LOL

What I do on the monthly sweeps is enter the Exp date in Turbo as 12/31/02. That way they just automatically pop up each month for entry.
