This reddit discussion has many people coming forward that 'won' and then didn't get anything for it: http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/rdgtz/i_won_the_windows_phone_challenge_but_lost_just/ http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/rdgtz/i_won_the_... There is also a post by someone that 'tied' and then went to win on the next turn, even though their own terms of the contest state that in the event of a tie, the customer wins.

Here's one example: TL;DR They were throttling their wifi and when I beat them with LTE they didn't pay up saying it has to be one the first try. http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/rdgtz/i_won_the_windows_phone_challenge_but_lost_just/c45037b http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/rdgtz/i_won_the_... Another one: I too took on the challenge. Which was to post a message to facebook and email the same message to myself as well. Microsoft phone has a me tile, that posts to social media through windows live. Which is connected to your other social media networks such as Facebook, twitter and linked in. However, it does not email you. The guy argued that posting a status to windows live did the same thing. It does not, and therefore I lost. http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/rdgtz/i_won_the_windows_phone_challenge_but_lost_just/c44yu6a http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/rdgtz/i_won_the_... But a few said they were able to win a gift certificate, like this person: The first challenge was to find a five star restaurant in the area. I used my voice feature to search Google and yelled got it. Right when I said got it the employee was naming a restaurant and said we tied...So the second one was find a movie time for a movie playing in the theater at Tysons Corner. I used my voice to text feature again to search Google and found a time. This time there were like 3 other employees around and one of them said, "Dude, he got it." The manager eventually came out with my $100 gift card. They have it all set up on their phone to just click a button and the answer pops up. For some reason, the movie application took longer to load then normal which is why I won. http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/rdgtz/i_won_the_windows_phone_challenge_but_lost_just/c44zwkz http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/rdgtz/i_won_the_...
