Be diligent with confirming a giveaway win
Hey Pickles!! I'm posting this as more of a "don't be like me" and miss your winning giveaway email! Mine was hiding in my junk folder (which was odd because I've opened them before and it's the same sender so idk how this happened) and when I did a search for "picky" it was there. I was so excited to see that I'd won this giveaway y'all!! I love Make P:rem so I confirmed right away! Except, when I entered in the code that makes the product free, it said invalid. Sure enough, it had expired that very day that I saw the email. It actually states in the email that it's Korean time, but I wasn't about to throw in the towel yet. I was crushed! I replied to the email explaining what had happened (I sent a DM via Instagram as well ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ) and the response I got was that it had indeed expired and thats just it. End of story. So here I am, an example for all of you to know that if you don't diligently check your email and confirm your win in time, you too will miss out on a wonderful opportunity. I am still so grateful for all the opportunities Picky has given me to try products and give my opinion on them. As much as this broke my heart, it was a lesson learned. Don't be like me!! Check your email (esp. on days when the giveaway signups end and selections begin) ๐ญ check spam/junk, and confirm immediately. Has this happened to anyone else? Just me?
Ps. It burned a bit more seeing that they only chose 150 winners ๐ญ ouch!
