I want my prize and I want it now!

May 27, 2005 • How Blingo Works

We get a lot of emails from people wondering when they're going to get their prize (even though we have this information in the Rules, the winning email, and the Contact Us page). Here's the way it works:

  1. Officially, we have to send you your prize within 6 weeks after the end of the month you won the prize in. That means, for example, that if you win on May 1st, we have until the second week of July to mail you your prize.
  2. In practice we send prizes much faster. For example, we've already mailed Movie Tickets to people who won in the 1st two weeks of May and we just mailed most of this month's premium prizes (e.g., Gift Certificates).
  3. There is an exception. We have to make sure each win complies with our Rules, so if our system flags your win for review it takes longer to get your prize.

We are working on sending prizes even faster. I'd like to see everybody get their prize in 1 to 2 weeks, if not sooner. That would easily beat any other giveaway I know of (most are at least a couple months) and would be almost as fast as the free shipping option on Amazon! I think that's pretty darn good for free stuff. I hope you do too.
