Nickelodeon Parents Connect

I have recently discovered that there are lots of people on Facebook that say that Nickelodeon Parents Connect is a fraud.

I find this hard to believe because it is Nickelodeon. That is a BIG NAME and BIG MONEY. They have no reason to screw anyone over.

 But I wanted to write for a moment and talk about why I KNOW they are not a fraud. I have won many prizes from Nickelodeon Parents Connect Parties.

 I will admit that they take a long time to get the prizes to you. So long in fact, that I actually moved away from a house before a prize arrived 9 months after I was notified that I won and about a year after the party actually happened.

 Prizes that I have won were:

 A set of super cute hats for my kids 

A huge Bean Bag Chair 

A day at a daycare 

and 2 more that I know I got and just can't think of right now 

So over a year ago (March or so 2011) they had a Bacon Party. I never received the prize. I didn't think much of it because I know the prizes take a LOOOONNNNGGGG time to get there. 

But I sent an email to them saying

 "I haven't seen this prize." 

And after another loooonnnnngggg time I got an email from an actual person saying 

"I'm so sorry, I'm working on it." 

Another month later I got an email saying 

"I'm still working on it, promise." 

 Again, I can't look a gift horse in the mouth, so who am I to complain about timing when I didn't pay a darn thing for it. Finally I got an email saying 

"Here is an amazon gift card for the amount of the prize, plus a little for shipping. Sorry for the inconvenience." 

Now, this is not the exact wording of the emails, but seriously, who could possibly complain?! I got a free amazon gift card to do with as I please to make up for the fact that they weren't able to get a prize sent to me that I didn't pay for. Now that is a stand up company.

 For those of you out there that are tired of waiting, give it time. They are not a fraud. They want people to be happy. And they will make it right. Thank you Parents Connect for being awesome and although I have taken a long break from playing your parties (since I knew I was moving and it takes a long time), I will be back to participating soon! I can't wait to see what other awesome prizes I can win!
