No, I think it is a big waste of time.

brings me back to when I was a kid. I don't why but I use to get excited when I saw those flyers in the mail and bug my mom to fill them out. I rarely do them now that I am grown.

I have participated in PCH a few times but I really think I do better here at FC than I could ever do with them. By the time you figure all that mess out that is inclosed in the package the contest would be over anyway.

Um you guys need to think about how many people are probably putting in there entrys for publishers. Litterally 100's of 1000's every day. So not many will win it. It's like a huge lottery that's the luck of the draw bit time but nice thing  about this you don't have to put out a dime to play. The chances of winning are not in your favor

I do a few, but not as much as I use to. In the beginning, I even brought a few subscriptions and other stuff I don't need. Now, I think it's all a big scam and have to think about wasting my time.

I have been trying to win something for over 10 years.  I know it is a habit I have, but I do not want to stop.  Maybe one day I will win.

I sometimes to PCH. There was a lady that lived in my area who won this last year, so I know this is true, but sometimes I don't have time to do this. I think there are too many things in that package that are unneccessary.
That's great that you actually know of someone who won.  And I agree, seems like a waste of paper that they put in the envelope ... tooo much.  But I'll probably continue doing it.  I don't order often and it only costs a stamp so, I'll probably continue.  It's nice to read others thoughts on this!
Thanks!!

I signed up for this but to be honest I haven't participated because some of the emails sound somewhat threatening. Surely it is my choice not to open the emails if I chose, but the heading are quite forceful and unfriendly. So I've decided not to participate. Eventually I will dis-email myself.

i have been doing them for about 15 years now but i never have won anything from them

i've done Publishers since the 70s and did buy a lot of mags from them, but never won a penny. I gave up on them about 10 years ago after I read the fine print (which you need a magnifying glass to see), but last year entered again. I got disgusted because of the every day emails warning me if I didn't enter, blah, blah, blah, so I unsubscribed every time I received an email. This year, didn't try at all even though I've gotte4n emails from them. They ARE a real pain.

I'll do it every now and then, but there are so many offers to get past to get to the end - I skip past all of them, but it is tedious. Then I will keep getting emails from them, so after awhile I unsubscribe.  But at some point I start up again!

Once in a great while I will go through the tedious entry process, usually to get points on a GPT site (like FusionCash).

I receive it quite regularly in the papers but like you I've never signed up for it.
