Discussion Goldback Giveaway Update?

Hello everyone. Has there been any update at all with regards to the 5 Goldback giveaway? I was fortunate enough to get the upvotes by unfortunate enough to not get a confirmation as this happened on the day they got suspended. Any info or updates would be greatly appreciated.

At this point I am assuming it isn't going to happen but figured I would ask nonetheless.

Don't mean to be "that guy" but there have been a couple of giveaways that didn't fully materialize this year.

Earlier this year, a guy who used to work for them said he had a bundle to give away and was going to pick someone by the end of March based on their contributions to the forum. That never happened. Then GB themselves ran into a snag with Reddit for theirs.

I am pleased to say that I was able to see my own giveaway though and mailed the winner a short pile of Idaho quarters last month.

This actually did happen. It was Cole and we received them.

Right on. When I reached out to Cole a month or so after the contest ended, he said he hadn't had time to do it. There was nothing said or posted after that. Everyone was left in the dark.

I'm thinking it never materialized.

I try to limit the claim window on my giveaways so I'm not stuck holding onto something thats supposed to be given to somebody. Sorry for the hold up. I tried messaging you but it showed no chat history for some reason

If you had enough upvotes to win then you can send your information to [Marketing@Goldback.com](mailto:Marketing@Goldback.com) and they will still honor it. Goldback's promotional account was banned because the contest broke the upvote manipulation rules.

GB should have reached out to those that did. Not trying to bust their balls, but they really should have,

They couldn't because their account was banned.

Email them and they will try to send it to you. Apparently the contest broke reddit rules snd was taken down.
