Has anybody won anything from the YOMD Mail-in contest

Did you have to answer skill-testing questions to get your prize?

Thanks,

they ask you a skill testing question, but it is so simple, but keep a calculator nearby just in case

Thanks, they called me today and I was wondering if it was a CDN thing or I was just special.

I have been mailing my post cards. I hope I win!
How many post cards did you mail before you you won something? What if they call when I am not home - do they leave a message?

I was thinking about mailing in some postcards myself a while back but I remember they were asking for 3.5x5 size and I could only find 4x6 postcards. Is everyone cutting them or sending in 4x6 cards? I also read that some people were having postcards returned... I guess the postoffice was confused between the YOAM address and the contest address. Anyone have that problem?

That would have been one of my first postcards. I only started sending them in mid-February, so the number that would have been received by the end of February would have been small. They draw on the 20th of the month following receipt and called me yesterday to ask my question. I didn't ask them what they do if they call if you aren't home. I am wondering now, because I will be in Disney on the 20th and not home until the 25th. I don't want to lose my opp. to win for March, especially since we have sent one in everyday this month.

I had large (maybe 5 x 8???) index cards that I cut into two pieces with a little strip left over. I also label their mailing address on the wide side and then flip the card over and write left to right on the narrow side so that there is no confusion for the postoffice. (Does that make sense?)

They called me yesterday! I sent 10 cards for 10 days back in early feb. I cut my postcards to be 3 1/2 * 5 but I didn't buy them they were left over christmas ones from my business. I am going to start sending more now though...I'm sure my dd's are going to fight over my landyard. I need to try to win another but gotta say I usually don't win anything. Does anyone know if you can buy the landyard in DW?

Has anyone won a bigger prize with the mailin contest?

I don't think you can buy any of the contest prizes in either park.

I've mailed a couple of them so far. At $0.93 a stamp, this is starting to add up. Is there a special postcard rate? At any rate, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a win!

So I guess I understood it wrong. I mailed the correct size postcards with the address on one side and my info on the other, but then I put it in an envelope and sent it off. Of course I put a stamp and mailing address on the envelope, but does that mean I dont qualify?
