reviews and complaints

long time member, I have backed you many times when people have called pch a scam. Today I have doubts. I recieved a $5 check and I have never participated in a pch game etc. which offered $5 reward. People have said you send out fake rewards in order to appease justice dept. complaints about pch. Stating all us states have won awards. THIS WAS A SLAP IN MY FACE AND BURST MY ARGUMENTS i USED TO DEFEND PCH. also your claim of cheap prices is totally wrong. prices may be lower, but when you add shipping charges your products are triple what you can buy local.

Ok on the sweepstake game where there's 9 sweeps before you can open a chest.i get Thur the first 2 ok. Then come the 5 scratcher game well it has not let me complete pass the 2nd scratcher out of 5.

The instructions are telling me to do these game how can anyone win if this game don't let you Thur but 2 scratcher and there are 5 it goes blank.

Then on winnerville the game just freezes up or cut me off the game.

How can I win anything when this keeps happening to me.

I KNOW I OWE YOU PEOPLE MONEY BUT SOCIAL SECURITY MESSED UP MY CHECK BUT I WILL MAKE A PAYMENT THIS MONTH.

BUT THE WAY YALL ARE DOING PEOPLE IS WRONG I DONT LIKE MISTREATING OTHERS

THATS NOT NICE SO ILL PAY YOU PEOPLE OFF BUT DONT THINK ILL BUY AGAIN THE LAST 2 ITEMS I GOT WAS BROKE.

On emails using tokens and I enter the number of entries I want to enter and press [enter] it then asks for my login / password after entering those it tells me that there is an error. This is the same login I have been using for over a year.

When the email comes up it knows who I am gives me additional tokens without any login being necessary

If I log into https://rewards.pch.com/ and enter the same login / password most of time I am able to enter the number of entries and everything works.

I have Never placed an order but received two items from Publishers Clearing House. One was a set of kitchen towels with a sink map. The second was a set of scoopers which looked for a litter box. I don’t own a cat! Instead of paying shipping to send items back, I went ahead and paid for the two items that I have no use for. I actually threw the scoopers in the trash since they were disgusting just the thought of picking up cat poop.

Not Sterling Silver...They didn't even tarnish, they rusted...My ears actually started bleeding from the rust!

This is not the only time that I ordered an item that was not as advertised! Your merchandise is sub-par and way too expensive!

I will never ever order anything from you again!

This was a birthday present to myself...I was very disappointed!

Today 4/13/2022 I got a pop up that said I get a double reward for 100,000 tokens. Attached is the screenshot. I clicked on the claim now, and nothing. I was not rewarded my tokens. This has happened to me before on the 50,000 token bonus. I have done everything you all have told me to try and fix this problem. My wife got her 100,000 token bonus on this same computer, so I know it's not my computer or cashe or anything else. Why am I not getting my bonuses and my wife is using the same computer. This has been going on for quite some time and you all won't make it right.

I have spent a tremendous amount of time playing this scam. I have collected 137,000,000 coins. yes 137 million with no results. I do not believe they have but a few scam winners. Has anyone ever checked their lists of winners? They make it like I have to buy before I can win with comments like "show us just how much you want to win" If it matters what they think then it is not a true game. Yes I am very ticked off and would like to ring their little lying necks. I never heard of any law suits against them or I wouldn't have played the game for years.

I am neither paying nor sending back the items. I can't waste any more money doing this. I recently ordered a coin counter and it does not work. I don't need to pay $23.00 for a jar to collect my monies. I would never order anything further from pch. Think they are crooks.

Called Diane Celestin at [protected] on 3/26 for a $36.08 charge.

Silly face bowls - never ordered for $23.93.

Microwave Huggers - never ordered for $27.20

I will only pay for the last item I ordered, a key holder.

Ridiculous

Ordered baking pan set has two pans. First time I used one of them the no stick coating came off. Very disappointing. I got a set of 2 microwave dinner trays and lids do not stay on. These products are cheaply made and I will never buy from PCH again. Also the first invoice they sent me said my payment was late? This is a total ripoff and scam.

Why do I have to buy something in order to enter the sweepstakes?

I received a box from PCH today and opened it, expecting it to be an item I actually did order. Instead it turned out to be 3 different items which I did NOT order. I went to the USPS site to view the tracking info, which indicated the box was delivered to "the address" at "garage/other location." However, when I looked at the address label more closely, I saw that the house number was off by one digit. It's actually the address of a vacant lot three doors down. It seems to me that the mail carrier 1) was trying to be helpful since he knows I get a lot of mail and parcels, or 2) he actually didn't notice that the house number was wrong. Is this something to be concerned about?

Okay I am tried of trying to play the online games. Especially when I keep playing these games and I keep getting Bad Request. I already know that I am not the only one getting this Bad request messages my father gets them to and he lives in a different town than me. Now since I am having such a bad time with all of the bad request popping up. I have lost my VIP Elite because I can't play the games. I keep getting Bad Request on PCH Lotto and definitely getting it on the VIP Elite games it is so bad that I couldn't even play the games anymore for VIP ELITE.

I won $50,000.00 on a VIP Elite game and when I told them they said I didn't but took the game off and it's not been back on. On 12-16-2021 I won $650.00 towards a TV. They say this has been resolved but this isn't true. I have not received any money except a $10.00 check which I sent back. What happens? Do you give the money people win to your friends?

Since I filed a complaint against PCH employees. I am now being blocked. Are they afraid of being told what is true. I was hacked, scammed, and lied to by these people. I have been doing PCH since 1996. Now with all the coniving and lying and scamming and being hacked, I am the bad one. Well I am not. Al I would do is submit my entries. Now I am bad because they wanted money from me, which I didn't have, but they kept on and on to give them money. So I could get my package. Also everyone of them would tell me I won and not to tell anyone. So secretive. Why! Now I am band from it on facebook. Also I have seen postings from other people about being scammed. It is a shame that this being done during these hard times. I hope you clean house.

The problem with Publishers Clearing House is that you are never actually sure when you have submitted an entry. The whole thing is so complicated. I swear I won't fall for it every year. Then for about 5 or 6 years I stay away. Then something triggers it in my and I order some cute pair of earrings and here I go again. It is true that the products for sale are not the highest quality. And I know that. So I am a bit careful what I order. I have learned that much. But this year I have ordered more than I ever have. But this is it. I am done. I will not get suckered in again. Now my emails say Please just one more order to keep your extra special special extra status. Then at the bottom of the page the regular an order won't help your chances of winning. Of course I know that. What I mainly find disturbing about PCH is the not knowing exactly when you have really entered this contest. Don't fall for it people. You can spend a whole day clicking away never ending and not knowing if you have ever entered your number. Don't bother wasting your time.

PCH has been sending my elderly ill mother unauthorized shippments of items and making her pay for them! This has been overwhelmingly distressing for her so she paid over $900 to make it stop. This has been brought to my attention. I am her daugther. I want to ship you back the items and receive a full refund please. Mail a check to the address on the account. Remove E. Scheveling from all future promotions and mailings.
