I don't know about those sites but I've visited a few siimlar sites and I wish everyone would read the fine print on those sites. It's basically a books worth of Terms of Service and liabilities by the company and I've read a few on a couple sites that made me activally not want to even try. A few of those sites will have in the fine print in the libility and terms of service information. "If prize is unavailable due to being out of stock no replacement price will be given" or something to that effect. Which means, if they no longer own any Xbox's/giftcards to give away then you won't get ANYTHING for your hard work of following their redemtion insturtions and joining various different sites and paying for different products to be able to qualify. IT doesn't sound fair and it isn't. You'll find most of these sites also have similar clauses. So when the time comes and push comes to shove and you demand what they promised or if you take them to court they can point to the terms of service, which most people don't even glance at for 3 seconds, and say "We don't have anymore and we notified all vistors to our site that once all rewards have been given away that no more rewards will be offered in that contest" (Although morally and legally one can ask why they keep up a site if all the products have been given away and who is to say "WHEN" all the products have been given away and everyone else who tries won't get anything. I think this is done so they can continue getting money from you via refferals to other sites with you believing you might still be able to get something from them.)
