Was pretty excited to win the Calvin Kline cologne. I don't wear cologne but instantly knew who I was going to give it to.
I didn't read the contest rules....who reads them anyways. Open 3 and you won...right? No....
When the gift you won happens to be none left from the certain number allocated for that item, it's too bad.
Won on Dec 4th, but not won.
Oh well, there's still the grand prize.....This thread is currently associated with: N/A

easy come easy " you lose " ! That sucks, but I probably would not have bothered reading the details either. Hope the Grand prize comes your way instead!!

Ihope you win some big cosmetics prize soon to make up for this lose.

I don't know if anyone even wins from these things. You "win" the opportunity to give Shoppers more of your personal information and your time/effort (opportunity cost of time in the busines world)

Yes, the tiny print at the log in screen mentions that any instant wins would be a $50 SDM gift card. Still, it had to be a thrill to see those 3 matches! And I'm seeing items I had not thought of at SDM.

Yes, I just got off the phone with launchfire, the company who designed the contest.
I can see now that matching 3 'prizes' just gives you a pop-up with a code to proceed to claim the $50 SDM gift card.
I have opened gift cards for Toy r Us in this contest, so never thought it through. Just assumed that one would have to open 3 matching SDM gift cards to win one.
The 'prizes' (chocolate, makeup, ...don't mean a thing in terms of winning what you matched. The match just wins you the gift card. Would be the same if one had to match 3 puppies. I would love a puppy though.
Funny that when I called SDM on the same day, they told me that all the colognes must have been won already. THey also said they did not know how many of each of the prizes (other than the gift card) were available to win.
OMG, why do I have to obsess with something like this?? Too stubborn I guess. Need something to do since I'm not shopping much lately.

Hey, I'd want a gift card to go shopping with. Launchfire is a good company-they've done contests for at least two more chain stores as well.
I still want to win a laptop or tablet soon so I can surf online at Starbucks or Fortinos earlier in the day and not be stuck to mid-morning contest entries. I'm sure to get more "lucky" on the instant wins!2021-Bring on the sunshine, sweets & online shopping.

Only Shoppers would do something like this.

To be fair to launchfire, they quickly responded to the image I sent them.
The result is....
They used the exact image for 2 different Calvin Klein products.
The 2nd line of the text are different. One is for "perfum spray", the other "toilette spray".
I had 2 of each.
My brain just saw the same pic and Calvin Klein.
My response to launchfire was to use a different pic for different products,....same pic was senseless.
I'm not upset that I didn't win, but that I spent so much time to clarify a simple game.

^Glad you got their answer. Hope you do get that elusive instant win code in a future play. I keep winning an extra entry into the contest.

Seriously!?! I am annoyed on your behalf!!!
I have given up on these types of games...I am not convinced anyone wins. Though, I did win a pack of Huggies once on their website...but they publish their "larger" winners. All the store receipt surveys...I am sure there would be more SC with brags if ppl actually won."There are more important things--friendship and bravery...."

I cannot be the only customer seeing at the bottom of the receipt that 1) the game site URL is a bit different than actual game site and 2) there is mention of $75 gift cards in the game when the game site clearly states $50 gift cards for instant win.
Still winning extra entries in the game and nothing else.
I've abstained from the most recent Shoppers contest where participants mention how Life Brand items impact their lives as I seldom saw winners mentioned unless the winners happened to post on social media.2021-Bring on the sunshine, sweets & online shopping.
