Magellan Contest Prizes

I was just wondering if any of the Magellan "Cache Her If You Can" winners have received their prizes and, if so, what did you get?

Posted

I ftf'd the Cleveland cache #27B, and know the Magellan has had it in their offices since 10:46am, last wednesday and still haven't seen anything posted as to what I have won. Sigh....Oh well...must continue to practice patience.

I still am holding the certificate for #26.

It says to wait 6-8 weeks after they receive the certificate.

There is no way to know what you've won until the entire contest is completed since the grand prizes are awarded in a random drawing.

I think the certificates must be received by end of September.

I am going to send it Certified since "proof of mailing isn't proof of receiving".

They already have the prizes listed for 1-25

I wish I had thought of that :D

I sent mine via express mail so I could track it on www.usps.com. It shows that a V MEDINA signed for it on 8-26-04 at 10:46am. So they have recieved the new data. Now they need to react to it and post the information. Shouldn't take a week to do that.

As stated in an eariler post, Magellan has FTF's and their prizes for missions 1-25 on the website. Mission #1 won the geocaching getaway prize. The rest won geocaching gear. I wonder where the getaway trip is to, what is in the geocaching gear package? They also list the mystery prize winners but make no mention of what the prizes are. I would guess mystery prizes are hats or shirts. But one of those water bottles would be nice too.

I guess I am not the only one who needs to read a little closer :D

Which means there is one more Dream Getaway to be won. If you go back to the first three or four missions, mystery prize winners have posted what they got.

I didn't look very hard, but where did you see that there are 4 Getaways?

I guess I have a 1:5 chance at it :)

I thought there were only 3 getaways to be awarded myself, til I saw last night that it says 4. I was wondering if they changed it since they added that 31st contest cach.....

A cacher on another board posted what he got.

 

I got my prizes from the Magellan Challenge thingy:

- A pair of 'see behind you' sunglasses

- 'Hockeypuck' Binoculars

- Suntone 3-in-1 Soft Lite

- 2004 Tenting Directory

 

Doesn't seem worth the headache to me, glad I didn't even attempt one.

Hrrrhghn? :huh:

 

I'm confused as to how hunting Magellan's Cache Her If You Can Caches is anymore of a "headache" for a cacher than any other cache.

I just received my mystery prize pack from the Magellan contest.

 

I received:

 

3 in 1 flashjlight

fold up binoculars

look behind singlasses

2004 tenting directory

This is exactly what I received. There was a reason I didn't take it from the cache when I found it. Of course the DesertHermit got the grand pize where I am at. My daughter just loves the binoculars and thinks the glasses are cool

My Grand Prize certificate was just received at Magellan HQ today at 11:00am.  Mission #26.  Hopefully the site will soon be updated with the winners of the later missions.

 

Congrats on winning that Dream Getaway.

Thanks! That was a pleasant shock. The last 6 winners all won at least the mid-level prize and I lucked out and got the 4th trip.

 

Now, where to go....
