aphex, you might not want to volunteer that tidbit of info.

in the rules for their 'giveaway', they explicitly state

ELIGIBILITY: Contest open to all legal residents of the United States except (1) residents of FL and (2) employees of Circuit City Stores, Inc. or any of their affiliates, subsidiaries, distributors, sales representatives, dealers, retailers, media partners, national advertising and promotion agencies and their immediate families and employees of ePrize, LLC. Must be 18 years of age or older to enter. Void in FL and where prohibited. Contest subject to all federal, state and local laws and regulations.

Im actually on a hiatus from work for the semester, so i'm probably in their system still but not actually working for the next four months.

And as for the FL thing, its not like i hid it from them. When i placed the order, i used my FL billing address and picked the product at a FL CC. Thats not my problem if they can't get their website to kick out GC's if they are supposed to be void in certain states. They sent me an e-mail for a prize, i clicked on it.

I still wonder why the void in FL thing, its not as if CC is incorporated here. The home office is in VA. The only thing i can think is that possibly the company handling the prizes is based in FL.

Not entirely certain if this is somehow connected to the digital giveaway mail (like CPA, won a $5.00 Gift Card), but today received a mail entitled, "Instant savings: an exclusive offer from circuitcity.com" which contained a promotional code for $10.00 off $50.00 or more.

Thought perhaps it bore mentioning.

Do you need to register with MusicNow for music download, or will your CC login work? I got 2 download codes but do not want to register just to get 2 songs.

How odd! :)

Had played the sweepstakes a few days ago and it said that I won a song. Didn't even quite check the email. Looked at the email today, before I was going to delete it, and: "Congratulations! You've won a Circuit City Merchandise Card* worth $50!"

*Shakes head*

Yay! :)

Thanks OP!
