OK, I just got the email from altavista.com explaining the computer glitch over the weekend and awarding me with 1,000pts. I decided to click the link at the bottom of the email to see if I won the daily contest today (July 7) to my utter astonishment it said I was a winner! Now, am I excited for a good reason or is it just the glitch all over?

Who knows...They seem to have an enormous amount of problems with their site. Hope you get it!

I just got the email and the points too, even though I never won the 500000.

I also won their contest, but there was no record of my points or me winning. I didn't expect to get any points.

Hey, hold on a second, I haven't won on either day...and I tried the reload trick again, no dice. Maybe you did win, Shotime...you should see some of the stuff you could get with that!

I got the email saying they gave me 1000 points too, and the email said their site is now fixed. they had a link in the email for you to click to try and win again, I clicked it and it said I won too. anybody else? I'm still thinking their site is farked up.

heheh.. i got the email with 1000 pionts, and an EXTRA 1500 points, because I asked about the 500,000 points http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/smile.gif

Made out like a bandit.

Nice Jeepers!

I got the e-mail for the 1000 points also. I just might have to start complaining and see what happens... : )

I wonder how their system seeds who wins. It could not just be random as more than 20 people wpuld win. :-(

Congrats bandit...you made off with $2.50. Haha just kidding, but making the point that the 1000 pts they're giving all of us really isnt that much ($1) and will probably never amount to anything (because it takes a long time to accumulate points through that program).

For amazon gc's, I recommend giantrewards.com - if you're "clever", you can find the appropriate means to accumulate a lot of points (and gc's). Although I do not condone the use of any such point accumulation means.

Exactly, hey maybe if you keep complaing they may give you another 500 points! Or you could take a stroll around the block and look for a couple of quarters on the ground. What, are you guys like 12?

Hmmm... maybe you could share some of your "cleverness" with us?
