I have been unable to redeem tokens for a long time, playing PCH Mahjongg. Most recently, yesterday, while trying to push the button to register 10, 000 and 1, 000 - it froze each time. Tonight, the same problem. 600, 300, and 50 - all froze. What can I do?
Actually, this has been going on for several months. I just didn't write to you about it. I would like to be able to get alot of tokens to win some prizes. sasaloka@cox.net

I appreciate PCH, being a vehicle for advertising, saving the corporations hundreds of thousands of dollars in advertising thru other avenues, PCH being such, I also understand the phenomenal odds for winning something, but...when you play the instant win games...and for a very long time without winning anything, it becomes a moot point, a waste of time, especially when the games that appear for you to play, constantly do not activate, say: an error has occurred game and game and game, after game! For me, I have lost the zeal for playing at all due to the length of time played, the length of time never winning anything, and the length of time the games appear, only to not let you play...KCarson.

I hate your new casino game. I don't get nearly as many entries and never get enough diamonds to even go around the board. I think I'll just stop playing.

We 'members' play to get tokens to enter to win and we play for the mere enjoyment of playing. Each persons' rating page shows how many games of each type we need to level up in a category. It basically reads play 8492 more sports games to level up, , but this is fraud because you are only credit play if the games is won. I believed what I read and suppose I played a quite a few hundred games of 9 ball before I discovered the LIE. Recently you made major changes touted as improvements to the website. I wonder if you have noted a decrease in active users since? Being constantly logged out while being active REMOVES any enjoyment

I have played Prize Patrol on numerous occasions and usually have problems with the screen going blank and showing an exclamation point. Thus, I lose my score. It usually happens when the score is around 100.00. So far I have lost points on scores of 200.00, 110.00 and 65.00 to name a few. Tonight it happened again when I was at 100.00. It takes a lot of time to achieve these scores and I would like to receive the points I acquire.

I have also lost points on my total points when I switch from one game to another.

Thirdly, there is a discrepancy when diamonds are awarded - some time diamonds are not all awarded.

why do you have to give your tokens to enter a contest . isn't that like paying for an entry to a game ? why do I have to use my tokens to play other games where is my winnings they say you never have to pay to play. you play the games they say you won but they never pay out the winnings it seems to be a case of fraud the games I play keep giving me tokens and say I have done good. They ask to many questions why do they need to do this we cant ask them questions they never respond to our questions. they make you use their search to find codes but I haven't found any codes yet . they tell me if I don't finish the info for the game they will drop me they load up my email box everyday I only need one a day they can put all the games in one mailer there are to many repeats in the mail they will probably cancel this post lol

This last week I lost hundreds of tokens. Even today, the tokens are not posing properly. I had almost two million. Now a little over one million. You have broken my trust in PCH. So, what are you going to do about it? If nothing, I shall file a complaint with the FCC. Mimi Fink - mimi.lafinca 4/29/2014

PCH is nothing but a marketing tool to advertise for corporations. You will never win anything, other than tokens to see more advertisements. Its a scam and too many of us fell for it. Prize patrol? Please. Has anyone ever actually seen one, let alone won ANYTHING?

I agree with the emails. Most of the complaints I have the same ones and it's not a good feeling. Who ever is in charge with these games and system need to at least make changes necessary to satisfy it's members or stop trying to emulate the casinos. Thanks DP

Problems here, too. Get to the redeem tokens site...have to check in, even though the screen reads "Hi, Jewelly". I put in my info...and the very same screen pops up, without the sign-in info...over and over again. No explanation, just the sign-in screen. "Forgot Password" goes nowhere. No email response. A friend cleaned cashe and cookies as suggested, with no effect. Haven't called Support for help. What I know about how an iPad works could be scribbled on a post-it note with a crayon. I do well to be able to turn it on and check my email in-box. Since I don't appear to be the only one with this proble, can anyone give me a simple solution to this?

I have been instructed by PCH to install Adobe Flash Player for better viewing. I have tried at least twenty times to accomplish this task. At first I was outraged by Adobe's requirement to choose Google Chrome as my default. I realized after trying and trying that the default requirement was not a requirement but an Option. I undid the checks in those boxes but still have been unable to install the Flash Player. I have Verizon as my default and don't want to change. I am out of searches (that I can understand) as to how to do this installation. I want to continue playing the games offered by PCH but can't get ahead without the Adobe Flash Player. That's not an Option nor is it fair.

Why is PCH requiring installin ADOBE? Many of us don't know how to do this, especially many, if not most, seniors. We just want to play the games. What's up with that. Just let us play the games without ADOBE to try and win, PERIOD. I now can't play any games to win because they're wanting me to install ADOBE. WHAT THE HECK IS ADOBE? Don't know what it is or how to do it. COME ONNNN.
