phanofwclark said:I think the official rules said that we should expect 3 days before the winner is announced. Similar to the last promotion, no?
The rules say " Apple will notify winners by e-mail and/or by post at the address provided within approximately three (3) days following selection of each winner. Apple is not responsible for any delay or failure to receive notification for any reason, including inactive e-mail account(s), technical difficulties associated therewith, or winners failure to adequately monitor any e-mail account or physical address. The winner must then respond to Apple within five (5) days. Should the winner fail to respond to Apple or be disqualified, Apple reserves the right to select a new, replacement winner. The replacement winner will be the entrant whose Entry was timed at immediately after the previous winners Entry. The winners will be listed online at http://www.apple.com/itunes/ within ten (10) days following the End Date. Individuals may request the name of the winners by submitting a self-addressed, stamped envelope before December 31, 2005 to: iTunes500 Contest, 1 Infinite Loop, MS: 60-ITMS, Cupertino, California, 95014, United States. By participating, you agree to Apples inclusion of your first name on such list if you are a winner."
I did "Tell a friend" since they started the promotion. It was really hard to judge. It is hard to tell when they take the entry, even for downloading. Is it from the time you click buy (right then) and it starts automatically and with the tell a friend, is it as soon as you press send, or is it when you get the "your message has been sent?"
