Yes, you will require to sign in or create a google email to enter, this ensures customers only enter the contest once. 

 

As for the email requested on the forum, you can add either one. Just make sure your community user name is correct as we will reach out to winners via private messaging.

 

Thank you,

Hi @J_PM   there inlies the issue.

...And, I did not see that instruction listed that way in the announcement.

 

My Community account email is an alias that does not have a google account directly.

Therefore, I had to use an email that does have a google account (hence, it does not match my Community Email).

 

So, was mine a valid enter or not? Because, it still let me enter the contest without it giving me any errors.

@J_PM 

 

Unfortunately, entering the contest requires members to sign into a Google/Gmail account.  While this isn't an issue for me, many who don't already have a Gmail account aren't going to sign up to one simply for the purposes of entering this contest.  Ironically, ater logging into the Google account, the member is then prompted to type in an e-mail address (although not everyone will have the Gmail e-mail addresss that was used linked to Community and Self Serve accounts).

Would be a nice gesture but I think that they would just toss it in the recycling bin.

I know that your heart is in the right place and you don't mean to be condescending BUT  ---Ya right - let's give seniors hard to use obsolete  junk -and  hey don't forget to also address them as "sweety" "honey" "deary" etc. My retired old, Florida wrinkled (don't tell her I said that)  lawyer mother in law goes ballistic when persons assume that because she's in her 90 s she has become a simpleton.

Hi @J_PM,

So can anyone enter this contest as long as they have a google account to log into this contest with?

 

Also, does the email need to match either the Community account or the Self Serve account emails?

Flip phone would be nice for younger children, because it is basically a phone in a hard shell protective case.
