I called and the lady didn't seem to really know she asked someone else and then told me yes but on their web site when you purchase the eGC it says that its for use on walmart.com only

I really doubt this could be timed. Probably spread out and pure pot luck. And I would be surprised if all the good ones go early , they need to keep the momentum going.

I read in the T&C something about "time seeding" and then rollover prizes. I think it's possible that they assigned better prizes to an early time block to get the hype going. I could totally be wrong in my guess of what time seeding is....

i spoke to a rep in amex- and i told them i made 3 orders and havent received emails about gifts. they told me it can take up to 72 hours to receive that email... If it wont be there in 72 hours- i should call and theyll take care of me (again this is from a rep, and apparently reps make things up...)

I made only one order last night (Walmart) but I have not yet received a gift. That kinda discouraged me from making any other orders...

And yes, I did register properly and got the registration confirmation email.

And no, there is no gift card email in my spam...

Go through the giftchain site and click on logo of the store. Did this for first - it worked. Forgot for second - no gift. 3-8 - gifts came.

Seems simple enough to me.

Seems it's YMMV. But my 'missing' one came late, other have reported this too. Hopefully your missing ones will show up as well.

What error are you getting. I've tried registering a card I got before 11/27/11 and it's telling me the card is from after 11/27/11...
