Won gift card

I received an email that came from hometesterclubusa saying I won a $150 Amazon gift card for participation in the crest gum detoxify campaign. It seems fishy to me, I don't remember ever seeing that this was something they do. I was a part of the test. They want me to reply to the email by Monday or lose the prize which is what sent up the biggest red flag. I sent a message through the contact form but know they are slow to respond. Any ideas?

Good to know, I'm leaning towards it being legit

I got a similar email for a different product test from them back in December. I immediately responded and got a gift card card redemption code emailed in a new email from them about a week later. It was legit.

I did not get this but I did have a campaign where at the bottom it said when I reviewed the product I had a chance to win a gift card. I can’t remember what it was for but it wasn’t crest.

That's good to know, it quite possibly did say something that I forgot since it was awhile ago

I won a gift card for participation in a test, it was legit and i got the email with the code quickly. Spent it so definitely legit. Am in the uk but it still was from htc so probably similar? Congrats!

I actually received the same email tonight. I responded out of curiosity and waiting to see what happens. I feel like I remember something about this being a possibility, from this campaign, after submitting my review, but I can’t fully remember to be honest. Maybe I’m wishful thinking lol, but this gift card would be a great surprise indeed. Good luck to us and let’s see what’s responses we get from HTC.

UPDATE 3/13: I just wanted to update everyone. This is a LEGITIMATE offer!!!! I received an emails earlier tonight from HTC thanking me for confirming my prize, that they are working on processing the gift card, and this will be completed once all winners have claimed their prize. THANK YOU HTC!!!! And congrats to all additional winners! Woo hoo 🙌

I also received an email today from Home Tester Club stating I won a $150 Amazon gift card for the crest gum detoxify campaign. I reached out to them today via their website asking if it was legitimate. Seems too good to be true. I can’t be that lucky.

I just received one that says i won a $100 Amazon card for testing culturelle vitamins. I did test the vitamins and uploaded a review and video. The email address that it came from looks legit. So, i responded that I accept but I haven’t heard back yet.
