I got one that almost seemed like a scam mail asking me to create an account so I put in a fake password that was really troll and it gave me a discount code for 20 dollars on any wrap I wanted toward the particular phone I told them I had.

Just wondering if they were really backed up and behind or are just trying to make up for the bad PR.

slickwraps has been banned from Reddit for vote manipulation. In the future, we plan on having more strict terms regarding dissemination of prizes in order to increase the odds of the give away from going through as promised.

The /r/GooglePixel modteam has tried their best to make this go as planned. Sadly, this giveaway didn't go well. We as a moderation team have learned a lot from this experience. Steps like the one above and more will hopefully prevent this from happening again.

I got an email to make an account and got the $20 credit for their site.

Sucks that the wrap I want is ~ $14 but can't use the leftover credit to pay for shipping. I know it's only $3 but still 🤷‍♂️

I got it too.

Which is weird since it said I was supposed to win a free wrap, not given credit.

Still, can't go wrong for a wrap for $3.60 I guess.

That's a lot of down voting.

So they selectively upvoted certain accounts? I'm confused.

I indeed did get an email from them saying that I needed to go create an account with no notification that I was getting it. I deleted it because I just figured it was junk. They can keep their $20.

On Nov 22nd, they reached out to me via Reddit Chat.

"We want to apologize for our team yesterday. While they are a young group they are very passionate about the brand. We wanted to let you know you're not disqualified. We do need however, your device and style of skin you would like."

This was an apology at their complete lack of customer service. It appeared they were going to do the right thing, before this happened.

Yeah I got it the code for the 20 dollar credit however I still think it's bullshit that I have to pay 3 dollars for shipping. What's the point of a give a way if I still have to pay something

Since u/sloth_on_meth paged, I never got an email. I replied to their pm and then followed up what phone it was for and they said I'll be notified when it shipped and that no further response was needed.
