Anyone receive their prizes?


Recommended Posts

i got a second letter from marden kane about 2 weeks ago, and they said it was going to be another 6-8 weeks before my prizes will come. here's the link to my post with a copy of that letter in the prizes thread:

  • 4 weeks later...
  • 2 weeks later...
  • 2 weeks later...
I emailed her a couple of weeks ago and again late last week, called her yesterday, left a voice mail. No response to any......I wonder if there is anyway we can get ANY kind of feedback from Marden-Kane, this is getting silly.

Erica responded to my email finally, 6-8 weeks more, she said.

That's ridiculous. I still haven't gotten a reply and I've sent her 3 emails now. I think I'm going to file a report with the BBB.

Good news, got this from Erica today,

Hi xxxx,

Unfortunately the fulfillment process becomes a little more complicated and lengthy when you have a large quantity of prizes to fulfill and the need to fulfill both domestically and internationally.

Regardless, this does not excuse the right to the prize you are owed in a timely fashion, which is why of course we offer our apologies for the delay. That being said, we've followed up with those who are fulfilling the prize to you and they have confirmed that US Second Prize winners will be getting their prizes within the next 4 weeks.

Sincerely,

Erica Valdellon

Marden-Kane Inc

I got a similar email yesterday:

Hi xxxx,

We've followed up on shipping for you and it seems that they should

begin shipping within 2 weeks. Your prize will ship out either by DHL or

UPS Ground.

Delivery can take up to 2 weeks after the day that it ships. I've put in

a request for the tracking #, so that you may follow delivery. I will

let you know if this shipping timeline changes further. Thank you again

for your patience.

Sincerely,

Erica Valdellon

Marden-Kane Inc.

Just got this email:

"Dear Vanishing Point Sweepstakes Winner:

We are aware of the delays some winners have experienced in regards to receipt of prizes. Please be advised that Microsoft and Marden-Kane are working very hard to get the prizes into the hands of all our lucky winners and we expect to have all prizes delivered to the winners very soon. If you would like to check the status of your prize, please send an email to [email protected] with your name and prize won. Please note only inquiries relating to prize winner status will be acknowledged.

On behalf of our client, Microsoft Corporation, we thank you for your patience.

Sincerely,

Marden-Kane Inc.

Administrator of the Microsoft Vanishing Point Sweepstakes."

finally got a response too...

Hi ...,

We've followed up on shipping for you and it seems that your prize should begin shipping within 1-2 weeks, either by DHL or UPS Ground.

Delivery can take up to 2 weeks after the day that it ships. I've put in a request for the tracking #, so that you may follow delivery. I will let you know if this shipping timeline changes further. Thank you again for your patience.

Sincerely,

Erica Valdellon

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
