Please consider allowing ads on PCH.comAllow Ads on PCH Powered by Admiral. When you do allow the ads to play any PCH game it will FLOOD your screen with a ton of adds which bogs your PC down. I've entered PCH for literally, YEARS, and this garbage comes up. Too bad.

This company is a brutal scammer. So much empty promises of winnings, but in fact they are only asking you for money. When they are satisfied and you don't have any money left they just disappeaer from Messenger.

This site has been using Powered By Admiral.I can't get rid of it. You need to go incognito to allow ads.It slows the site down.REMOVE POWERED BY ADMIRAL!!

I wonder why there are no reviews from actual winners. Why doesn't a PCH winner ever post a review. It makes me somewhat skeptical. I know it is near IMPOSSIBLE to ever win anything with PCH, but I am still trying. I guess it's because I am still 'hopeful.' I have ordered soooo many products thru them throughout the years, and have yet to win anything .. except for receiving a 10 dollar check for my birthday. And I have NEVER won anything thru the millions of tokens I have acquired. I feel like 'giving up' sometimes, but like many, I dream of a better life. I am tired of living on my limited Social Security income.

Been using the PCH app for awhile....but it seems that Yahoo has paid them off to get preferential treatment. Their interactive ads are the only ads that do not time out, have a fast forward or exit. Their frequency extinguishes Any enjoyment gained from playing the games!

Games are also necessary with studies as it makes your mind free from the stress that is created by studies. At this time bubble shooter is a medicine for that stress that not only entertains you but also makes your mood in the fresh state to study again.There is one more game which not only the most downloaded or played game in the world but is also the most loved game all over the world. This great game is Bubble Shooter which is the only game in the world that is combinedly played by all the people of different age groups with the same interest.

Whatever you do on PCH, don’t take their surveys. They promise 100,000, 250,000, and even 500,000 tokens if you answer a few questions but half the time PCH does not pay up; zero tokens. PCH owes me 3,500,000 to 4,000,000 tokens for answering questions on their surveys. They have never paid up even after sending them over 20 messages telling of the situation. Concerning surveys, PCH is dishonorable and dishonest. The only answers I get are computer generated responses telling me I don’t know what I’m doing.

Today's reality is that every action must pass muster on a racial and ethnic basis. Appointments to the highest levels of government are based on checking the correct boxes. PCH claims that their winner selection process is random and impartial. The latest big prized winner ($5,000/wk forever) seems to conform to the"woke" mantra - biracial couple with mixed race child. What are the odds???

I've been playing pch+ for a year and it just went through some changes with new contests and whatever but now all the sudden I get kicked off everytime I get on it and before I can even do the first entry. Somehow when yall changed things up yall also messed or screwed up everything. It never fails we as humans can't leave well enough alone with anything and we always make things worse

I would really appreciate it if they would improve the pch plus game. It stops constantly. I have no trouble with any other app,so I know it's not my device.

The consumer is led to believe that there is a solid chance of winning some real money. After playing the repetitive games for many hours and acquiring many tokens, it's just time wasted. For a company to be advertising millions to be won by playing these games, it seems to be very miserly and not very encouraging to boast the meager "winnings" of 5.00 and 20.00 dollars by players scroll on top of the page, raise the base amount to 100 dollars at least.

I just completed a PCH Survey all the way through which took about 25 minutes. I have done many of these PCH Surveys, enough to qualify for higher "influencer rewards." At the very end (there were literally no more questions to answer) the message appeared "Unfortunately you do not qualify for this survey." Well if I was not qualified for the survey, why the hell did I go through qualifying questions in the beginning, then was taken to the survey (on a partner site.) Then answer numerous questions for 25 minutes? I did not receive my rewards such as extra entries, points, NOT Anything! I won't be wasting any more time doing surveys on PCH! Hopefully this gives other people hesitation too, lest they waste their time also.

I have been with publishers clearinghouse for years I have gotten so many things from them. And I write out a money order and save my receipts because they’ve come back and said that I owe money for these items I paid for already and I know I paid for something twice until I noticed this was happening. There’s always that dream of winning the publishers clearing house and after 20 or more plus years I give up. I actually started to think it was a scam how can you sign up for something for 20 years and never hear anything from them good luck to everybody if you’re signing up for their sweepstakes.

It seems that PCH makes its money from Shipping and Handling (S&H). For the last item I ordered, S&H was 60% of the cost of the item. There is nothing wrong with modest S&H charges - but we are living in an era where free shipping is increasingly common. It is pretty obvious the PCH's margins are based on not very obviously disclosed S&H charges.

Very disappointed in your contest. You say "no purchase necessary" but you have to scroll thru endless ads trying to sell - then you are subjected to endless emails begging you to buy products - only to be entered in something that no one close around wins. Big SCAM!

I like PCH 35 years with them good products. I don’t do surveys because I’ve been screwed on them. So there no for me. I found out tokens are not important. So I just stay positive persistent and patient by doing the daily contest. Search. Has dropped off my quest because the contest doesn’t popup anymore so off that. It use to popup in search every other day but not anymore. But I’m positive persistent and patient entering every contest until I die. I have cancer so I hope I win soon. I love PCH!

I wish I could give PCH's customer service negative stars.Horrible. Nearly impossible to contact them.If you can contact them, they misinterpret, misunderstand, misplace, and just plain miss.Your problem is up to you to fix.Don't count on them to provide any assistance. But do, however, expect a prompt email from them explaining that "your issue has been resolved."

I have never felt so stressed, annoyed and disappointed with an app than I have with pch... I wished they would have just stuck with the old catalog that you could shop from; at least back then I actually bought stuff. They should have an online catalogue with useful but not overpriced items. Even rare, or exotic non-perishable foods, tools,garden supplies,winter items etc. Etc. . LISTEN and give me a job, I could get the ball out of the gutter!! This company needs more .You can't just keep coasting on your promise of potential winning$ !

After inquiring about my winnings, Danielle the officer over the New York branch office winnings informed me that yes i had won $1,000,000.00. But before I could receive my winnings i first would have to pay the IMF tax, even though that should of been able to be paid at the end of the Fiscal year when reporting my taxes. So I wanted to inform the public that PCH is nothing but a scam and I wish they would be placed under investigation for running a fraudulent lottery. Skeptical as I was about this phishing scheme now I know PCH only grants people with money prizes. I was a winner until proven broke. That is oppression over the impoverished, in an attempt to thwart me of my rights. I believe.

“Definitely waste of time and money”

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 Tip for consumers:no wins Products used:household junks Service Value Shipping Quality

“Absolute lies and deception”

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.

“Crappy Merchandise”

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. Tip for consumers:It's a good waste of time but not so good waste of money. The chances of winning anything are astronomical! Products used:A radio Service Value Shipping Returns Quality

“Over priced cheaply made products”

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.

“My point of given young a chance at prize out of poor forgotten county's in America”

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 Tip for consumers:Give black young contestants a chance Products used:Game player Service Value Shipping Returns Quality

“Crappy merchandise”

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 Products used:Cosmetic Service Value Shipping Quality

“Definitely controlled to only win small, just to keep it legal.”

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.

“Don't feel bad everyone”

Don't feel bad everyone. I've been licking the stickers since 1973 and have entered daily for 4 years and have never won anything either. Some say its a hoax but how do you know? I will continue to enter daily what's it going to hurt there's worse things in life.

“Pays to get played!”

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.

“Cheap overpriced repeated offers to enter sweepstakes”

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.

“Waste of time”

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...”

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. https://www.change.org/petitions/publisher-s-clearinghouse-shut-down-their-business

“When it's broken - fix 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.

“Fun, Fair Chance at Life Changing Winnings”

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. ~Joseph McLean Not sponsored or paid to say this just a player who enjoys the chance to change my life as much as the person next to me

“Waste of time”

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.

“Don't waste your time”

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 Tip for consumers:Don't Service Value Shipping Returns Quality

“Is there any cyber laws that exists?”

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...

“Loosing Faith”

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 got my answer”

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.

“PCH is a complete waste of time!”

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!

“Not worth your time”

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.

“Dissappointed”

Nobody seems to win the big prizes and if they do they don't make it public. How many cars have you seen given away? Me neither, but every month they have a car to waste your tokens on! They sent me a couple $10.00 checks which I did not win so I ripped them up... scam? Maybe, not worth the chance or the time. Both my husband and myself were contacted this year about orders WE DID NOT PLACE! When my husband contacted them they refused to take responsibility and just said, "sorry you changed your mind" WTH! My advice is if you never played don't start, it's addictive and you won't win!

“No more!”

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".

“Don't get caught up in the Game”

Typical responses on here as I have. They even sent me a refund for their dry non growing bulbs. Once I cashed the checked, they billed me again and was going to send me to collections. Somebody should send them to collections. Certified and legal pirates in my opinion. Inferior products along with strong-arm collection. Keep making China rich.

“Are your entries being received or tossed?”

I recall that some years ago, PCH was found to have been dumping literally tons of unopened entries in a New Jersey landfill. This leads me to assume the same is happening today, but since the entries are via the Internet, they are being sent to the great junkyard in the sky. This is nothing more than a scheme to collect dollars from the innumerable ads they show, and to make money by selling good from their various associated vendors.
