Why I give up on sweepstakes
- I have given up on sweepstakes sometimes because they require a code that I am not able to get without purchasing something. Or they state that you can get a code online when actually I can't.

ready to stop entering
- I see that it is just a trick to get you to keep buying something. They ask and offer the same thing and when you decide on two sponsors the screen take you right to the beginning so you have to buy more stuff.

- Slow loading will make me go away. Also, long ending dates. One contest lasted until Jan. 2011! I love your web-site great job! I've learned so much.

End date too far out
- If the contest has an End-date that is a full one year away and that same contest allows for daily entries, I usually just enter once or twice then move on. The odds of winning are just too great with that long a lead time.

Voting and Recipe Sweeps
- I skip right over voting sweeps, they annoy me and take too much work and I don't know enough people who would vote for me to even give me a chance to win. Recipe sweeps because I don't cook, (that's my husbands job!).

another thing...
- Another thing that makes me give up on sweeps is if it will not let me use autofill/robofill. I'm not typing all that info in every day!

Badly programmed sites
- If the site won't handle phone numbers with dashes or birth dates with slashes or other common, standard formats that are in my Roboform profile, I usually quit entering them. It's easier to program a webpage to remove dashes, slashes, etc., than to program the error message, so what's wrong with the sponsor that they would allow such sloppy programming?

What makes you give up on sweepstakes
- When the prize is way overvalued by the sweeps company and I know if I should win, the taxes wouldn't be worth it. Recently one magazine had a trip to London (which I'd love), but valued it at $25,000. I could live there for six months for that!

Giving Up
- We live on a rural route and the contest providers will not accept our proper and only address.

What makes me give up?
- Slooooow downloads, entries that state you can enter 10 times or more, complicated websites. I go for the big prizes, why waste my time on insignificant ones?

Too many email referrals
- Sweepstakes that offer extra entries for email referrals; perhaps five a day. I actually came by one that where five referrals equaled one extra entry.

Way too long to enter
- Sometimes I give up on sweepstakes that take a seriously long time to enter, like the Jelly Belly sweepstakes.
