Multiple times pch have push back the prize date on me. Multiple times they have told me that they were ready to make my dreams come true. Received letter starting that this is the last step in the process to find the winner I need to enter a code at www.pch.com/final to confirm my address as it was the address they had on record

Every time I get an email. To claim tokens I have to delete the app and reinstall. Why is this

What can be done to get tokens from email and not have to delete and reinstall PCH + app. It’s very annoying. I even have to do this to play games in the app

I had a similar message on my machine today. I didn't even know what PCH stood for but they claimed I was the top prize winner with a car and money. Told me to call David Saer (spelling?) at 516.387.4620 and give them claim number.

The bracelet was badly tarnished on the inside...I didn't notice it until I paid and mailed the check on 1-28-23..Cheaply made and never should have been shipped to a priority customer like myself. Gary Pask

Multiple times now I have won tokens on PCH Lotto site when I didn't play any cards on them. I used to do the PCH lotto every day, and gave up as this whole thing is so time consuming. Don't have a problem with "free tokens", but just makes me question the validity if I'm winning for a game I never played.

In the last several weeks I have completed online surveys at least three times from email solicitations that have taken from ten to twenty minutes. After completing the survey it sends me to the screen "Unfortunately you did not qualify for a survey at this time" and no tokens were received.

When playing Nightville in the first challenge, when tossing the frisbie, I have landed numerous times on the 2500 spot but I only get 100 points! It also happens on the dart/balloon challenge where I hit and pop the gold balloon and only get 100 points! Are these games rigged to certain people?

Some years ago, I ordered a tomato bomb. It grew into a flower bomb.

I planned to never buy again from pch.

I finally ordered items again.

I decided to order another tomato bomb again. They arrived. I planted. They never sprouted. They were only rolled up foam material.

I've tried resolving my issue with items recieved and billed that were never ordered. But immediately they send you to a site that asks for your credit card info. That's not resolving the issue and I'm no fool.

I work strange hours so I'm in bed asleep by 4PM. I woke up at 10PM to find an email in my inbox stating they had received my order. What? How can I order something while I'm asleep? I emailed them to complain and see about either cancelling OR getting a shipping label to return the product. Their response was basically "you somehow managed to add this to your cart" and "we'll make a one time exception and not bill you this time".

Pch sells junk, all cheap Chinese products. On top of that PCH is a scam I've been trying to win for years. All they want you to do is buy junk and play the stupid games. Such a waste of time

Im not trying to be a pain and thanks for the chances to win as least I did win $10 a while back. keep up the good work but please help
