How to make the Party Scratch Promo work

[HoldEmKillah]

I don't think this has been spelled out yet. Party sent me this procedure because, like many others, I never got credited with the money I won before and never got any email about the DVD player I won. This worked for me this time:

To get credit for the one card I won I had to do it in a browser besides IE. It would scratch but not acknowledge the click afterwards to go to the next screen.

I manage to get my $5 with IE but when I won a portable panasonic 9" DVD recorder today, so did I have to install firefox on my computer to make it work....

Do someone now what kind of DVD recorder this is? Is it a extern dvd recorder you conect to computer only or can you conect it to your TV too?

I had to update to newest version of Java with IE, now it works fine

The most successful strategy for getting the scratchoff to work in IE that his been posted here is...

When the card comes up, make ONLY one single quick horizontal swipe across the card... it should get you to the next screen with the fully scratched off card immediately.

Sniper, thanks for sharing; worked like a champ. Now if I can only get them to credit the $30 I won a couple of days ago.
