Sorry to hear that. Would have thought for such a small token prize, they would still honour the winners, especially given the very short comings of the communication method chosen, as I pointed out... many backup phones, many users at home using their landlines, etc.
Maybe next time they will opt for communication that has a greater chance of reaching the winners.

Thanks guys I didn't really think of that but why not what's the worst it's going to happen they say no? So I just sent off a private message to Catherine asking if I can still qualify for it. If not that's okay too. But thanks for the encouragement.

You would have received a private message with a forum to fill out by a certain date. Your private message is the envelope at top of forums.
As for the Amazon contest you would have received a text message. They sent the texts out on Jan 13th.

Congratulations everybody on your prizes!
You seem to have been in the second round of "winners" as the first round needed to reply by Jan 6. BUT even then, there were only 17 of the 20 prizes claimed. So, if you try to reply to Catherine now, maybe she might still award it to you? Can't hurt to try, either via SMS reply or PM directly.

Mmmmmr mmmr meow...not a winner but congratulations to all the winners!
