there's no more "no purchase required" option? when they first did that every 60 seconds giveaway back in 2005 you could just request hundreds of free codes with those temporary throwaway email providers then dump the max amount of codes into a slot giving you a 99% chance of winning

yeah i thought those "no purchase required" options were legally requied, i definitely do nothink that they would be so prevalent if they were optional

looks like they were smart this time and required people to physically mail an envelope with the address written by hand, and that only resulted in one free entry into the daily drawings, not points for the auction portions.

but those you already have a relationship with should be added to your address book so go into the inbox

could work if you do continue to skim that external box a couple times a day

yes, but they try to monetize you with ads and harvesting user data. you will have “the mark of the beast”, a semi transparent text telling you to activate windows in the lower right corner, unless you’re using win10 for accessibility reasons

"expired"

i'm willing to bet much like the general upgrade eligibility, that expiration means jack poo poo for anyone other than business customers without enterprise agreements, who might conceivably be audited at some point
