Pizza Hut Complaint - Fake Survey Chance To Win $1,000 or IPOD - Survey

Complaint
Review by noahsgrama on 2010-03-19
RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA -- I received a receipt for my order at Pizza Hut. The Gentleman informed me that a lot of people had won just by entering a website on the back of the receipt. Nothing exists!! There is no place to log on to any specific survey that gives you winnings of an IPOD or $1,000. Pizza Hut should have checked this out before telling customers about a fake site.

A lot of fast food places are doing it now, I had a shot at $10,000.00 from Jack in the Crotch. They don't provide a logon number on every receipt, it's a roll of the dice if you get a receipt that you can enter for the $10,000.00. Never heard from Jack so I guess I didn't win.

Every receipt I have gotten from Pizza Hut has the website prominently printed on the back of the cash register receipt. something you might try, send an email to http://WWW. webmaster@tellpizzahut.com and let them know the supplier of their register tapes is not printing the site for the contest. The contest is not fake. What makes you feel it is? Don't be so anxious to ascribe evil to what is actually a simple mistake on someone's part, maybe even your own.

WHY are so many people having a problem with this?? Is it like easy to make a typo when typing it up or something??

Pizza Hut takes you to a site called tellpizzahut.com. All you see are links to a bunch of surveys but I never found the IPOD one or winning 10,000. If you do have the proper link then feel free to let me know.
Thanks

"IPOD or $1,000."

That is the proper website. You have a chance on winning any of those things... but there isn't a specific survey to take for those specific things.
It even says... on that page... "Remember, by completing our short survey, you'll receive: 10 chances to win $1,000 cash... plus receive a chance to instantly win great prizes."
You just enter the information on the right side from your receipt and viola.

Personally I think those surveys are a waste of time I have done thousands of em and not won squat.

That tells you the prizes for that survey... which include either the $1,000 dollars cash or the ipod.
So, it is the correct website to take the survey and win those things.
It's not fake. It's not fraud. It's simple and easy.

I do not know about the Pizza Hut site. I do know Empathica is misleading the consumer. As an example if you enter the contest via Golden Corral, Dollartree, Hobbycraft, Commerce Bank or the many other companies who use Empathica for customer Feedback, you will be redirected to the appropriate Empathica link for the chain. Just look bach throught the winners lists at more than one or all the sites. You will see one daily winner for the cash and one daily winner for the iPod. I just entered the sweepstakes this last hour at commerce bank and golden corral both sites have the same winner,Victoria from Penn and Keith from Fontana. I urge you to go back through the winners list for every Chain that uses Empathica and compare. I ask you this, If you are the CEO of one of these chains and you purchased 1000 iPods as a gimick to bolster sales, what would you do if someone in Ontario or the UK won one of your iPods and your company is mostly in the SE US, or vise versa. I would be mad.
Is it fake, You decide.

I was notified by email today that I won the $1000 prize for filling out pizza hut's on line survey. I own my own business, and I like feedback from my customers, so I always try to fill out easy, on line surveys for the benefit of that company's customer service dept. Good or Bad, I fill them out. To be honest, I didn't even know they had a contest because I never win contests.
I'm just worried they want my SS# and I'm going to talk to someone live, on the phone at Pizza Hut before I send them that.

If it's true, and I really did win $1000 for filling out their survey, I will post it here for all to see. I'm a stucco contractor in so calif. who hosted my friend's fantasy football draft in my warehouse, order pizza on line and filled out the online survey. $1000 is more than I can win in the fantasy league !

If the check comes, I will post it here.

I too received an email similar to scottymac with a follow-up on 9/24. I too am leery and have called Pizza Hut directly before providing my SS#. Awaiting a callback from them.
