If you received a PCH postcard with a www.pch.com/actnow website URL and an activation code, READ ON!
Who doesn’t love checking their mail? You never know what you’ll find! Sometimes there’s a flood of mail coming to your house, sometimes it’s just a trickle. Either way, it’s easy to miss a postcard that may have slipped through the cracks or gotten mixed in with a magazine or a circular. It may be small but it could be delivering some very important news!
Even though our postcard doesn’t come from an exotic locale and say “wish you were here”, it does send GOOD NEWS your way — and you don’t want to miss out! So if you received a PCH postcard in the mail with an activation code, be sure to follow the simple step-by-step instructions below for a chance to win an exciting cash prize from our Fast 50 Sweepstakes!
What Does The PCH Postcard Look Like?
But before we get into those instructions, first let me show you what the PCH postcard looks like! Here’s the outside:
And here’s what you’ll see when you open it:
As you’ll see, the PCH postcard prominently features a www.pch.com/actnow website URL.
What are you supposed to do if you receive this urgent notice?
It’s very easy. First, locate the Activation Code on the back of your postcard. It’s a 5-digit code and it’s all you need to activate your entry online. Then follow these simple steps:
1) Type www.pch.com/actnow into your web browser (or just click on the link in this blog).
2) Once you get to the website, enter your 5-digit activation code into the white box that says, “enter code here”.
3) Click Submit Code and a new page will pop up with a few more registration questions for you to fill out. Once done, click Continue and you’re all set!
See, I told you it was easy!
What If I Have Questions About How To Activate My Postcard?
I hope this answers any questions you may have. But if you have any other questions, please feel free to comment in the section below — we’re always happy to help! We do request that you do NOT enter your 5-digit Activation Code in the comments. This is your code to keep and use, and is not intended to be shared with others!
And remember, if you receive a PCH postcard, be sure to ACT FAST to get in on this LIMITED TIME opportunity.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

Despite what is claimed, if you do not purchase magazines, your entry is not submitted. It is one of the oldest scams in the book!
Hi Chris! Let me assure you that we are not a scam. No purchase is necessary to enter our giveaways and you never need to pay to claim a PCH prize. The best thing about PCH is it’s always free to enter and free to win.
I entered my code. I signed up for the sweepstakes. Can I enter more than once with this code?

This is Susan Wood. On my postcard, it says “Notice of Cash Prizes ($5,000.00). Or ***$25,000,00***. Do I still get this prize? My code is SP283.

I’m a VIP member, and I lose my status when I run out of cash to purchase items to submit. There is a statement at the end of the list of items that states “No purchase is required to submit”. When the budget runs out (as I am on SSI), I don’t spend what I don’t have budgeted. Do I have a lesser chance of winning? Or is my submission voided as a winner without a purchase? I have received messages stating that money has been deposited in “My Account” Do I have an account with cash at PCH? The code I have expired on 4/28, but I got to this place with that code. Do I need a new code number?

I already entered my code and it says that I have to pay for activation. Is this true, or it said I had to purchase some merchandise.
Hi Guillermina! There is definitely no purchase necessary to enter our sweepstakes. When entering online, simply scroll to the bottom of each page of magazines or merchandise and click on the “Continue” button. Once you get to the “Submit” button, click it and your entry will be processed. If you need any further assistance with this you can contact our Customer Service team here: http://bit.ly/ContactPCH. Good luck!
I’ve never won anything in my life.
But like a fool I never give up. I like
to pretend that I’m a big shot.
I submitted my activation, filled out all information, email entered and copied, confirmed, and it was not accepted, I used a 2nd email that I have it also was not accepted.

When the activation is entered and proceeds to the next action (submit) and is selected, it does not go beyond another statement. Does it ever get summited? The activation code is SP377.
The email address has been changed from what you have (that shows) when I email is selected. JBE Virginia B $$$$$$.
