Publishers Clearing House (PCH)

I been with pch for a while and claiming my stuff until i had a question i called customer service got hung up on. Then called again the lady side step my question im dislike customer service not very friendly i m trying to figure out about the lotto i hit all the numbers but they wont tell me nothing there there starting be scandlist

Since years being with never won a penny, first year was buying some low quality junk paying at least 4-5 times more than could buy on eBay or 99 Cents Only Stores, than i stop to buy, but still responding to winning offers... very disappointed and tired to get mail every day... no winning at all - will unsubscribe

This sweepstakes company had led my father (elderly) for 16 years and he never received a dime or a show after multiple times telling him what days they are showing up with the "Prize Patrol". He even bought multiple products from them just to see if making purchases would help his chances. At this point we are looking to join a class action lawsuit against them.

Most everything Publisher's Clearing House pushes is junk. They also overcharge for delivery, which is done by a bulk rate company. I've received beaten up and broken items that were too cheap to even ask for a replacement. They flood my mailbox with large packs of offers with my name and address in multiple places throughout.

Items are cheaply made and over priced. Order something they say it's out of stock then out of the blue months later without checking to see if you still wanted it they send it to you anyway. Hard to come up with the money to send something back when you're on SS in the midst of inflation. Don't plan on ever winning anything from them. I spent 8 years making hundreds of entries buying many numerous item from them and have never received a cent from them. Do yourself a favor don't waste any more of your time or money. You would do better to give it to charity.

No one ever win black and young someone who could really make a difference with the founding like build safe havens for homeless in my home town or make a way for battered woman if I had a chance at pch I'd make it actually worth given the prize to a young driven to change our world and less fortunate world sum our system yet failing to accomplish after all their rules and restrictions to resources no homeless want to even get the help of the broken system if it ain't rules it's limits and hold backs

Returning EVERYTHING I have received except for 2 items which yes we're things that can't be made cheap. But 2 items out of many are not good. Everything else is going back and better be taken of of balance owed. I ordered a roll of pennies that were all supposed to be 1902 through 1940's uncirculated. What I got was a roll that every penny is 1970's. I also ordered 2 bank notes $ 1.00 I received 2 1 dollar bills that look like they were taken out of someone's pocket. Not even getting into the other items all I'm going to say is complete junk. STAY AWAY it all sounds good and might look like items are genuine but farthest from that

IF the app loads it usually kicks me off or locks up. Tired of wasting time trying to win. Would rather read a good book... have entered so many times and cant even win $10.1 a year has the same result.

Other reviews mentioned glitches and errors, which do happen frequently on their games.
I did an experiment and in the clown game, I always picked # 5, every time, for at least 3 months. IT NEVER WON, That led me to believe, they are programmed to never win. And yes, the same goes for their scratch cards.
I did receive a $10.00 check. Probably on one of their spin wheels. These small amounts keep things legal, but I don't see their million dollar winners, in the paper or on T. V. "All in all" if you can get past the annoyingly, to many video commercials, which seem to be getting more and more present, in-between each scratch-off. It's up to each of us, to decide if it is worth it.

Loyalty obviously means nothing to PCH. All too often, the Search and Win program resets itself back to "wow, look at you - you get 5000 points for your first search" when it's possible to go back and show the search for the previous day awarded 25,000. Talking to one of their representatives does no good. "Let me check into that for you and if we can prove you did search yesterday, we "might" be able to restore your points. Why? The system is apparently broken. When asked what browser I use and I told them Chrome 10, I was told they haven't yet upgraded their own programming to accommodate 10 because so many people are "really old" and don't use newer technology. I've been using computers since before they invented the internet so I'm one of those old people. What they don't understand is that old doesn't make you stupid! This used to be a fun diversion - I realize I will never win anything - but the consistent glitches are getting old fast. It's broken PCH - please repair it.

I'd been participating in PCH things since the '70s when it was all by mail; and online, since they computerized. I have 4 different browsers on my computer and no matter which one I use, I get "technical difficulties" messages quite a bit, as well as pages that won't load at all. I've never won a cent and their products seem to be WAY over priced, especially when adding in their exorbitant shipping fees. (ex: they have an indoor/outdoor thermometer for $19.95 + shipping, which I imagine is around $7. I bought the same exact thing at Walmart for $9.95). Not worth my time any more!

I started a petition against them, sometimes we say to ourselves "Oh, it's no need, they've been around for YEARS, change will never occur". You'll never know until you try, and that's what I'm journeying towards, starting today I hope to see them go down.

Cheap overpriced goods with dozens of repeated offers and getting same almost daily implying that purchase is not necessary to enter sweepstakes... big "come on" and a waste of time. Should contact to have my address removed from their system.

Been entering since 1971 (yes - 1971). I've responded to EVERY mailing and played untold hours online. I won $10.00 once. Figure I've earned. 01 cent for every 100 hours of my time. They claim to have "So many ways to win." but have you ever really known anyone who's won other than their big AD's when they give away the super prize? If they were for REAL they'd give $1000. 00 per week to 7 folks rather than $7000. 00 a week to one! Don't waste your time! Learn to play poker on line. At least then you'd have a chance to win something.

The site is very creative, well kept, and they make it fun for everyone. I have not won, like many others, but its free so I cannot complain. Im sure if you keep up with it, and play your Tri Peaks, blackjack, slots or coin toss games here instead of elsewhere it will work out for you, and there is always the chance of winning money, or prizes! Good luck everyone.

Don't waste your time. Should be shut down. They send e-mail all time, about winning, but nobody does or they did not register their numbers. Can I fill a complaint to get Pch removed from everything. A SCAM

I have been a loyal player, play every day. One day I opened the Pro Gamer Prize Vault, it said I won a $10 gift card from Amazon.com I thought hey, that's at least something. Guess what, the site ran into technical difficulties and awarded me 1000 tokens instead. Yippee! Lol Wish I could win all the money I spent trying to win. Boy was that stupid!

I came on this to see if Publishers Clearing House could be trusted and I see it cannot, by anybody. Thank you everybody for your explanatory words. I'm typing more because you need so many characters to submit. The point has been made- PCH is not an honest corporation, you cannot trust dishonesty and it sounds like a raise of hopes and waste of dreams, that simple.

Is there any cyber laws that exists? How do all these bogus PTC sites exist? Where is Interpol or FBI's cyber Division when you need them? I'm sure theres some law being broken. There is hundreds of these PTC sites that exist. Is (PCH)Publishers Clearing House the largest PTC site there is? Whats the manic urge/desire for people to join? Their odds of winning are only 1 in 1.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.
The odds of actually winning a Publishers Clearing House Sweepstake is so astronomical, you'd be more likely getting mauled by a Grizzly Bear and a Polar Bear both together under the New York City Subway System. Hay Chris Hansen...

I've been playing their games for some time now and have never won a single prize! Total waste of time. The products they sell are dollar store rejects. I can't believe the Attorney General hasn't shut this joke of a sweepstakes down!

I just found out they have only 2 out of 5 stars. And I know why now! I have entered the sweepstakes daily for 5 yrs. I won $10. I have ordered a couple times from their merchandise but it is a ripped off. I returned an item once and I did not get a refund. They charge S&H onto of ur purchase and there is no mention of that. Plus u can find whatever they r listing on the for allot less on the internet. So don't bother. Buy scratch tickets. At least u have a chance of winning something. With pch it's 1-1000. 000

Logged over 7 million tokens. NEVER won a dime! 2 pair of socks I ordered cost over $5 to ship. Games hang up for long periods and I don't get the tokens for winning combinations. I'm through. 8 plus e-mails a day with 'Last chance', Forfeiture, search now and buy, buy, buy notices. I don't need the junk they are trying to sell, same as "As seen on TV".

PCH has benign business in the 1950 If they were not trustworthy they would have been shut down by now. You take a chance when you play PCH there are millions of people that play the game and only a very few can win. A machine picks the winner and that person will win. We all want to win but if is impossible. The chances of winning is v very slim. I have thought I have won many times but no one has ever showed up at my door. That means I did not win. The odds are agents us winning but s someone has to win and it picks only one for what ever it is playing at that moment. Brenda Carlton
