I was very disappointed to say the least! Black Friday was sad on GSN. Only 4 $50. gift cards, which I'm sure went for way too many oodles.

I agree Vee - - - very disappointed in what was offered.
Any idea what they went for? Didn't bid at all. Was running around with my family and playing games (not GSN games...LOL)
Will see tomorrow!! I volunteer at our local hospital tomorrow but will try and get my bids in. But I agree - even with my 1,200,000 oodles I don't think I'll get anything.

Probably bids are the same as last year... Cyber Monday is as sad as Black Friday, no $100. cards
The "Bid" is twice a day. it's only for a $50. card- those usually go for 400,000 when they are $25.... so, I think you could get 2 any other time which adds up to $50. BEST WISHES ALL.

I can't remember now if it was the same way on Black Friday, but I see today we can enter the Sweeps every hour. Auctions are still only twice a day. So I guess that means they are giving away 26 $50 gift cards total today?
Now here's where I don't understand....say I enter the 6 AM sweeps & use all 500,000 Oodles that I have in my account, it takes those 500,000 Oodles out of my account, right? Then when the hour is up, if I don't win the gift card, then I'm just out 500,000 Oodles & can't enter any more of the hourly Sweeps. Correct?? Because GSN doesn't give you those 500,000 Oodles back when the Sweeps ends each hour right? I don't see how anyone can afford to enter the Sweeps. Why spend so many Oodles to enter & then not even win the gift card & also be out all of your Oodles.
I did enter the first auction on Black Friday, but only bid 425,000. And of course, I didn't win. So that just goes to show how high the bids are.
I looked at the Winners list on Player News & they don't have the winner's list posted from Black Friday. Maybe if I could see this list I would participate today depending on the winning amounts. But I did see your win incucrash. Congrats!

Yes lelee, that's what I meant- made no sense at all. "Put all your eggs in one basket" - the Sweeps, and you can lose them all? It should have been the other way too- Sweeps every hour- at least then you know- BAM! gone! lol!

Interesting that GSN didn't post what each person bid for the Giftcards in the Sweeps- They did post the bids for the Bids part, which is probably the same. ^ (There were repeat names who must be multi-millionaires in Oodles)
Amazon Auctions Winners Bids: Black Friday 12am-12pm lightn76 2,123,875 12pm-12am AZNOAM 1,880,000
Cyber Monday: 12am-12pm oliver462003 1,340,100 12pm-12am lisaann945 1,500,000

MERRY CHRISTMAS - - - OR HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!
So since I didn't win Black Friday or Cyber Monday, I decided to enter into the weekly sweepstakes. How do they notify you if you win? The entry fee of 75 oodles were substracted.
I have been looking under PLAYER NEWS - WINNERS - and nothing has been posted since Dec 3rd. Entered the last 2 weeks of sweepstakes and was wondering what the winning bids have been as I was thinking I must be in the running for being one of the 14 winners - - fingers crossed.
Time for cookies.....

Happy Holidays... Merry Christmas, and Oh Happy Day if you won! GSN is really behind. If you bid 500,000+ oodles (& they are gone), you won. I think it shows up in your email first... Best Wishes!

Does anyone know what happened to the daily gift card sweepstakes?

I don't know what happened! I went and looked in Players News and found no notices or explanations. If anyone else finds something please let us know!!
While I was checking on that, I found that many things are gone. I haven't gone to the Prize Center in a while and was shocked to see nothing there. Under Sweepstakes and Play to win there is nothing. What happened to the Daily $100 Sweepstake? That's the only thing that I ever spent my Oodles on. Under Bid For It, there is only the weekly gift card auction & sweeps. In my opinion that is a rip-off. I think using one's Oodles for only a chance at a weekly $25 Amazon gift card is crazy. If you enter the sweeps your Oodles are just gone and the people who win the auction have spent an insane amount of oodles for just $25 that is only good on Amazon. What can you get for $25 these days? GSN gets those gift cards because Amazon is relying on people spending money for things that are more than $25. Many of those people may have never bought anything on Amazon so Amazon comes out ahead. The Buy It Now has only Oodlectibles and scratch-offs. Back in the day, there were actually things you could buy such as magazine subscriptions and GSN Gear (umbrellas, fridge magnets, chapstick...) All in all, GSN is getting pretty sad. In Players News I found this comment:
2jellybeans on December 19, 2017, at 8:51 am said: WOW GSN is reducing the starting jackpot to $1000 an hour and only going to increase by $6.00 an hour…GSN must really be hurting financially! No wonder we never got that prize center update which in my opinion is akin to false advertising! Doesn’t seem like there’s much incentive to continue playing on this site. Shameful! I hate to see many of our Fellow Oodlers going elsewhere for games.

Does anyone know what happened to the daily gift card sweepstakes? The "Daily" Gift card sweeps was changed to a weekly drawing a while back. There's still 7 winners, but they draw them all at once (& it's now known as Amazon Sweeps) -I understand that may soon be changing as well- The new Changes were just announced, & it looks quite sad: 2018 Prize Center Update Posted on January 4, 2018 by GSNAngel Happy New Year! I know some questions have been posted about the Prize Center, and I’d like to thank you for your patience as we worked with the Prize Center Team to bring you the following information:
The $100 Daily Sweeps and the Monthly Video Bingo Sweeps have been retired, but we hope you’ll enjoy these NEW SWEEPS on the way soon: $500 Monthly Amazon Sweeps 500,000 Weekly Token Sweeps
Please note that we will also be updating the following sweeps: $50 Weekly Amazon Sweeps: You’ll be able to enter an unlimited number of times! Weekly Game Credit Sweeps: 150 Oodle entry fee Monthly Prize Center Sweeps: 200 Oodle entry fee
Again, funk you for your patience!

As I said earlier, the only winners here are Amazon and GSN!!!
It's sad but I don't blame people for going elsewhere. GSN is just not what it used to be. I don't have a problem with change but when you take away everything that your longtime members have been playing for then like 2jellybeans said It's just "Shameful!!"

Wow. GSN must be going broke or else they've just become extremely greedy. I really don't see this site being around much longer. There is literally nothing to spend our Oodles on anymore besides the Oodlectibles (and we don't even get any Oodle bonuses for those anymore either!). What is the point of even playing the games to win the Oodles anymore?!?
And ChaChingo Bingo is a waste of time to play anymore either.

It's really bad! ChaChingo is barely creeping up... I've played it thousands of times, watched thousands of ads, but never won a penny. We've tracked the winning numbers here, & it looks rigged; thousands playing, but only 1 winner - when they feel like having someone win. With only one Trivia Question a day now, I am getting my life back... lol
