What makes you say it's a hidden game? For me, it appears like usual in the list of sweeps under the Featured section.
OK, apparently not hidden anymore, or the site was glitching at that time,
I checked the featured list at the time I posted.

I haven't received the weekly sweeps email in a month.

they can, but it doesn't work like that. the link is unique to your account. some get it, some don't. A few weeks back I think everyone got it, and the 2 most recent have not been guaranteed.
And for the last several weeks, I haven't even needed to click on any links in the email, the offer is automatically added to my account around the time the email arrives. Nobody knows why some people get skipped some weeks.
Yet another round of the $10 Kmart toy-related survey reportedly started today, Jun 11, so those with a local Kmart can do it again. Same terms as above.
PS: Make sure you've already used your previous $10 off $10 before doing the survey again, or it will just extend the expiration date on the one you already have instead of giving you an additional one.

I had a great day, as $1 wins go. I spun my Win List right after 1am EST, and won $1 x 2, which is a first but also didn't win last week. Then won both the last bonus & Xtra.
Hopefully the survey works this time for me. It never appeared in my account the last go around. Still got a free cash to burn there, but need to make the drive worth it.
Just looked at my points ledger, and I won another one in there today.

Nice.
Tomorrow it's time to decide what I'm doing with the $5 off 3-day offer.When you did the survey, did it tell you at the end to check your offers, or did it just say 'thanks'? If it tells you to look for it, you should get it, within a day. If it doesn't (for unknown reasons) and just says thanks, you probably won't be getting it.

I actually took a pdf of it, as I swear it said I got it last time. I got "Thanks... There is $10 in FREECASH ton redeem.."
First time the survey came around, it showed almost instantly.

Got 4 x $1 wins yesterday... That was pretty unexpected... It was a mix too of the WW, 10-spins, and XTRA...

Same here. I won 4 x $1 yesterday.
I've noticed some patterns in the winnings. For example, I have never lost a Wild Wednesday game, every spin yields at least a nickel. I have also never won anything on the sports tickets game and I always have to answer the same survey question about which sport I want tickets for and sometimes a second survey question.
Anyone else notice any patterns?
If you play enough of these games long enough, any patterns you thought you were seeing (regarding wins/losses) will get blown up.
I've been posting all my $1+ wins in this thread for the past 6-7 months, and sometimes I win half a dozen of those in one week and sometimes I go 2 weeks with none, with no changes in my actions. The WWWed games are intentionally set up with enough small wins available that losses are rare, but you'll eventually get a few losses here and there; and some weeks they are set up with more $0.05 wins available than $0.10 wins, and some weeks the opposite. The details are always available in the official rules for that game.The survey questions are programmed in specifically for each game. If they set it up to ask everyone every time, it will. Except for a few games where they set it up to ask every time, I've answered so many of their survey questions by now that the vast majority of the other games say I've already answered their question and skip past it. There are a handful of different questions on the sports tickets game, and you have to answer two of them every time. They always want to know which sport you want tickets for so that they know in case you actually win the big prize. I have won small amounts of points in that game and its many previous incarnations a typical amount of times as other games (interspersed with plenty of losses).

Whaaaat?!?
I can't remember the last time I've won on all seven spins for Wild Wins Wednesday games, if ever.

ya, I always have at least 1 non-winner in the 3 extra spins.

Maybe I didn't phrase everything perfectly there. I don't keep track that closely, but think about it in comparison to all the other games - everyone wins a heck of a lot higher percent on WWWed. If I won even 4 out of 7+ spins on all the other Xtra games on a regular basis, I'd be thrilled.
This guy was probably not doing all the additional spins, they make it very likely to get 4-5 wins on the 4 regular spins and the code entry.This stuff has so many convoluted layers to it that it's a pain to even try to talk about, constant "but what about this", "but mine isn't like that", "but I meant this and you meant that", etc
(edit: forgot WWed decreased the regular spins from 5 to 4 a couple months ago)

I won about $4 today, mostly in small wins, did get one $2 win. Got a 750 point, a 500 point, and a couple 250 points. Yesterday got a total of 350 points.
Nice.
I did not have nearly as lucky of a day as you two, just $0.70 total, and until the last 30-45 minutes it was just $0.15.

I have won 5 spins of WWW for at least the past 4 weeks, probably longer. I just won 4 x 100 points today, I will win again when someone posts the Xtra code. (By the way, where do you find these?)
I don't do the facebook and twitter spins. I have been playing since February and usually do all the regular spins every day, sometimes I watch the videos and enter the Xtra codes as well.
The original source for any Xtra codes is usually Facebook groups (there's an official one and an unofficial one). I don't use Facebook, so I get the codes when people in those groups re-post them on SYW and SD.
I'd guess you bought some items that participate in one of the deals that give you a percentage of the amount spent OOP back as points over time (usually in chunks a month apart, each good for 30 days). There's been a lot of those deals the last several months. The future chunks you'll be receiving appear in your points history as soon as the system decides you're eligible for them, so you know the deal worked without having to wait weeks/months to find out.

Not knowing what you bought, we all have to read the fine print on the points back offers.

Sorry. When you said you never lose on that game, I thought you have been winning on all seven spins every week.

Cool, thanks. I don't do Facebook either so I will continue to wait for you to post them here for me!

Anyone here buy gift cards on Raise.com? 6% cashback on SYW and a discount on gift cards. Also $5 off $50 for first purchase. I think I'll try it with a $100 Lowe's card.

I used when they had crazy SYW offers, like buy $20 get $20 in points. Of course that was several years ago, but never had any problems with any of their gift cards.

I haven't used them, but have heard good things about raise.com. For any third-party gift card buying, I'd suggest trying to just buy gift cards that you plan to use in full pretty soon, to reduce the risk of any problems outside the selling site's guarantee period.
Also, for Lowe's in particular, be aware that it's best to use their gift cards in-store only. If used online on an order that gets cancelled or needs to be returned, there have been issues getting it refunded.
