how do i activate my 5 dollar card i threw the box away? thanks
michele
I don’t have the box either and would like to activate the card. Why don’t the stated web addresses work? This seems like a lot of hassle for $5.00, but try to tell that to a kid!
Kim
I was finally able to activate my card by using http://www.sweepstakeslovers.com/cash/general-mills-big-g-cash-card-giveaway/. Click on the “You’ve won a cash card”logo at top and it will take you to the activation screen. Good luck!!!

can I add more money to the cash card?

I’m not in contact with anybody at GeneralMills so I’m doing my best to find the information that could help you all. I can’t say if it works because I don’t have any of these cards but it appears to be the way to activate your cards.

I won a $5 card tried to use it a few times to no avail, now balance is $3 and still no luck(except for accually winning the card that is). Anyway $3 is still enough to buy something on ebay(gotta love free shipping). How do I use this “Discover Network” card online. I always get a billing address error. Any help would be great.
Tom

I just purchased a couple of Totino’s Crisp Crust Party Pizza. It read on the back : $25,000 Grand Prize “You could WIN CASH!.However, I found no place to enter the UPC code but the one on this box is: 42800 11600. I always pick up my Cheerios 2 packs at a time but I never thought to read what ’s on or in the box as I’ve been doing it for so long. AnywaY~ Down through the years, I can always count on the quality of your products so I thank you for that.
I raised 7 children and I couldn’t begin to tell you how much I’ve used General Mills Products and my mother before me ( I was originally from Minnesota) .
And so, I’m going for the GRAND PRIZE, of course! Sincerely, Glo Shemorry or e-m glo3380@nemont.net

My 8 year old son just won a $5 card, but it doesn’t work. We activated it and when you see how much is on there it says there is $5, but when he went to buy the new issue of Playboy it wouldn’t work.

My son won a $5.00 card in the Trix cereal. What a joke. After finding the site to activate a half hour later and then putting in the required information, the system just happens to be “unavailable.” I’m so sick of these so called “prizes” that can’t even be redeemed. General Mills should be ashamed.

demika
hello im still wondering where you can spend this card at?
demika
umm… i went through all the procedures to activate the card, now i cant find any store thats accepts this card. Im wondering now if this is just a promotion tact to get people to buy your cereal. i left a comment earlier and still haven’t heard back. So are you taking the money of our hard working citizens just to boost your sales?
denny r bush
HI I FILLED OUT ALL THE IMFO YOU WANTED AND IT TOLD ME THERE IS A PROBLEM PROSESING THE CARD. TIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING,I LOVE ALL YOUR PRODUCTS AND HAVE USED THEM FOR YEARS.IM 55YRS,OLD.I HAVE SPENT ALOT OF MONEY OVER THE YEARS ON YOUR PRODUCTS.THIS DOESNT HELP YOUR RATINGS VERY WELL! UNHAPPY CUSTOMER,DENNY R BUSH.
jonathan
umm i got my 5 doller card activated but where can i spend it at?
Victoria
You can use your card anywhere that they take Discover. Example: Wal Mart, Targert, Brookshires, the gas station………………..
Victoria
Dont ask them if they take a Sweepstakes cereal card Just ask if they take Discover and then run it just like a credit sign and go. My 11 year old had no problem uning it at wal mart and the Dollar general and at Brookshires.
alex

nancy wickert
After reading all the comments, I see I am NOT ALONE in not being able to activate the 5 dollar card. Do we need to run it as a credit card instead of a debit after we FINALLY get it activated? I was one that never did find the activate card instruction, just a bunch of crap for more “free” stuff. Looking like a gimmick to me!!!!!!!

Every one is having problems getting this $5 card to work! I follow the directions but it takes you to another site ( not general mills ). If you’re going to give money away then you should think about going a head and releasing it to the people. Make it easy not hard! Mine is still not working! Thanks

Mary
after you give all the information as to how to activate the cash card, you should have had
a button that said SUBMIT) AND YOU WOULD HAVE LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT WAS ALL THERE
WAS TO IT, YOU LEFT THEM HANGING, I TOO LOOKED FOR SUCH A BUTTON AS I DID NOT KNOW
IF THAT WAS ALL THERE WAS TO IT.
SOMEBODY REALLY MESSED UP
luther moyer
I tried for two days to activate this card at this website. I was told that I had an invalid card each time I tried to activate it. Since I got this card in a box of Cherios, how could it be an invalid card ?
I finally gave up and called the number on the back of the card. I should have done that at first!!!!!!
It was easy to activate the card that way.
http://WWW.generalmills.com/wincash needs to work on their directions of how to activate cards.

J. Dominguez
Based on all the confusion, you would have been better to put a $5 off coupon in the box of your products to be used to purchase any Gen Mills products. too easy???????
D.Richards
After clicking several of the the links that popped up with generalmills.com/win I hit TPG Activations
and there was the card size Activate button. It requested my dateof birth I entered and waited as it processed for five mintues. While waiting I called the 800 number on the card and was Activated in one mintue.
Mrs T
I couldn’t find the ” ACTIVATE CARD ” button on the website so I just called the # on the back of the card . Took about 30 seconds. Very complicated for a cereal box kids prize. Shame on General Mills
steve havens
just trying to figure out how to use this card
ruth
took awhile to find the site but once found it was a breeze. just remember it’s not a debet card and to hit the activate button. u don’t need a number cause it’s not a debit card it’s like a charge card.
Jim Ross
My wife received a Discover $5 cash card in the mail today but we cannot activate it at either tpgactivate.com/genmills or genmills.com/wincash as both sites say they are no longer active.
This card was issued by Palm Deser tNational Bank. Thanx phone (605) 892-4464.
Avis Gill
I won a gift card from General Mills and when I go into the site to activate it–a sign comes up that states no longer activated. So what do I do now?
PAT Weathers
Is there a new activation site, as the activation site listed in the rules is now closed? I received the card in the mail a few days ago and I’ve never worked so hard for $5.00.
Liridon Syla
uhmm the page to redeem the 5$ gift card is unavailable… so what do i do now?
