Bluefly bag-a-day giveaway....

[DP_woman]

This contest is such a crock of hooey....Ive won 8 "10% off" and "free shipping" combined, as I have been playing just about everyday, and have come nowhere near winning a bag. One of the boxes might contain a bag, I cant even get two bags. They aren't giving away a bag a day, I bet no one has won a thing, its completely promotional.

 

[JessRuthie]

I've been playing everyday as well and gotten "Bonus Play" about 4 times and one "Free Shipping". I agree- who is winning these bags? What if some wins the bag for the day at 8 am? Does everyone quit playing? Not likely.

I wonder if there's a way to find out from Bluefly how many bags it has given away and what bags they are.....

 

[meowmix]

probably the fake ones? bluefly is awful... their promotions are all scams.

 

[darkintragedy]

haha. the closet i got was 2 bags and then a 'bonus offer'

 

[LouiseyPeasey]

And yet, every day I keep re-entering...just in case... I've gotten 4 10% offs, 3 free shippings, 2 bonus plays, and one that had 2 matching bags and a something else. (And a partridge in a pear tree.) I've been thinking they should show each day which bags from their list of prizes have been won and what's left. Sadly, they don't seem to have anything I want to buy, even for 10% off with free shipping.

 

[JessRuthie]

^^I played again this morning....like an idiot. It was the Jimmy Choo bag on the front page that got me this time.

 

[chantal]

I've been playing a lot too....I am also beginning to wonder if they really are giving away the bags. I'd like to see a list of who won. I have won 3 10% offs and 2 free shippings.

 

[Winter-Blossom]

Well, it isn't me that won any of the bags, but I have gotten 10% off and free shipping for playing nearly everday... I agree, I want to see who is actually winning!

Exactly. And if NO one gets three matching bags for the entire day, then they are not giving away a "bag a day".....I got suspicious when I kept winning 10% off, but couldn't even get 2 matching bags out of 3--and I play 3 or 4 times everyday, because I put in fake email addys of "friends" to get bonus plays, lol. I too, would like proof that people are actually winning, or else they are breaking the law (no, seriously....). Who has won a Padding or a KElly??

I found this info on the site:

I'm confused by this first part about the "random time winner"

I would think that in a legitimate contest, they'd show what had been won and what was left to win.

 

[DP_woman]

^^Interesting. Thanks for that. I'll be sending away for that list, I live near Royal Oak anyway, so it shouldn't take long for me to get it. Yesterday I got two matching Jimmy Choo bags, maybe I could possibly win!!! Yeah right.

 

[JessRuthie]

Let us know when you get that list, DP!

If you are the first player to play the Instant Win Game at or after one of the randomly generated times, you will be a potential instant winner of the prize indicated.

Visiting from the Paddington thread, but confess that I too have been suckered into playing the bluefly game too. So, even if someone manages to get 3 matching bags on their screen, they're still just a POTENTIAL winner? Wonder what happens once you're a POTENTIAL winner...and how many of those there really are!
Outrageous!

 

[DP_woman]

I sent out for this list quite awhile ago. I'd say two months ago. I followed the directions (sent a self-addressed stamped envelope with letter requesting winners list), and I never heard from them. Well the Jan. 16th deadline is approaching for the winners-lists-requests.....I smell a rat. Think I should contact the attorney general's office? Its not fair if this whole thing was a scam..

[DP_woman]

That list looks bogus as hell, lol. I still might have it investigated.

Thanks for posting though.

 

[mello_yello_jen]

I agree, the names look so generic. But thanks for keeping us updated

 

[Diorling]

Im very jealous of Susan. If I won a Kelly Id pass out, Im so serious, if it were a Birkin, I would be buried with it.

 

[DP_woman]

I agree, the names look so generic.

Right, and since they didnt send me an official list like they first promised they would do. The whole thing is really suspicious.....couldn't there be a class-action suit, for the people who entered the contest?? lol I am going to look into this.
