[Nfbc-info] Blingo follow up just sent

[Michael Peterson]

Hi all. I still haven't heard from blingo concerning my fourth $5 amazon prize.

I sent them the following email this morning.
I won another $15 on winzy recently so if this continues and I get all my prizes I can buy a camcorder for my classes because they require us to send in video interviews.
I might have to rent a camcorder this week because the firstinterview is due next week.
But like scholarships amazon gift cards sometimes buy needed stuff.
And this is just the beginning practimI still have the advanced practim and not sure if other uper level grad courses will require video tapes.
But this is distance education so it's not like I can go to my local study lab and borrow a camcorder.
If anyone knows which camcorders are easiest to use and record ontoe dvd or vhs and aren't to expensive  please let me know.
Back to the matter at hand I degressed
 and most of you can stop reading at my next signature because below that is what I wrote to the list concerning my target question

Unlike the prior times being blind I didn't have someone to read the special code so I contacted you at least twice once that night and once the following wednesday.
Because there was a major accessability lawsuit concerning accessability I wrote to the national Federation of the blind.  I don't want to Sue blingo or pch but I do want to be able to continue winning prizes. I purchase from PCH all the time. Perhaps my inquiry letter can help you get the site made more accessible. I am sure I can assist with connecting you with the technology committee and we can help in providing feed back.
Here is what I wrote just below signature.
Pleas help.

Ramifications of the target lawsuit
Hi all.  Because I am in to sweepstakes and because sometimes I like there deals
I often use the publisher's clearinghouse website.
I order sometimes through them sometimes via their email sometimes through the mail
and more often just play the search and win game at pch and blingo.
In fact I've won $15 from blingo.
Here's the problem.
Many of the pch games are inaccessible but even the ones that are aren't accessible
when you win.
In the past Terra read me the code to claim my prizes but her glacoma has gotten
worse and the site has changed it's background.
Last saturday night she couldn't read it so I wrote to Blingo immediately and on
Wednesday morning about this time.
 still no answer and still no prize.
I wrote them again explaining the problem and received the same your message is being
reviewed.
Still no answer yet.  And, in the meantime some people I know in sweepstakes groups
won and claimed the same prize.
BTW those prizes are instant because they are amazon gift certs but if you win a
bigger prize like a flat screen tv  a dell lap top etc I guess they ship to you.
PCH allows you 25 searches a day on each site and the first search enters you in
the $5,000 a week for life sweep.
If it were just a sweep I wouldn't be asking most likely but because like target
publishers clearinghous sells products online in volume are their actions covered?
Thanks
Michael peterson

I forgot to mention just about every day PCH (publishers clearinghouse, sends me
an email.
It is very similar to the mail version you look through their stuff and order if
you like or just submit for entry but sometimes like two days ago I was sent an email
where a gold seal or something had to be transferred.  To order you had to move that
seal Terra couldn't see it and I couldn't find it using the screen reader after reading
countless times through four pages of products.
Even had I just wanted to order using that email I couldn't do it.
That's a hit and miss not every email just spiradically inaccessible.
Something I never complained about because at least it's a whole lot more accessible
than those big print envelopes with the gold ticket and the transer stamps that made
relatives and friends run away in fear every time they saw me.
But still, more accessible isn't truly accessible.
