win a $10 best buy gift card

[car3]

go to www.verizon.net/holiday and complete a 5 minute survey

estimated odds of winning are 1 in 5, i think the first 50,000 win

i just did this and won

And they have a contest going on through the end of the year. No puchase necessary.

Hmmm... I wonder if they have winning allowances for the the folks who don't want to register for service but still ant to play the no purchase necessary path (separate link - here)


By the way, this is just like the instant win flash game they had on epicurious.com. I caught them in a mild lie where they suggested that you had a chance to win by blowing out the right combination of candles to win a prize. When in reality, the SWF was actually named, "loser.swf" - there was no possible combination of candles in the flash game. You already lost without "playing them game"

They mailed me a gift card Williams& Sonoma for helping them "catch their mistake." Yeah, right, more like a bribe.

Anyway - look in the HTML source for <param name="movie" value="flash/instant_lose1.swf"> - yup, you're a loser before you play.

i put 'for verizon dsl users' in the summary, why did u click this?

 

[unhuman]

I am verizon dls user didn't like my #. And it says 1 in 5 could win, so really, that means that 4 are guaranteed losers and 1 in 5 has a chance of winner. No odds on that. DAs
