My wife & I have won 2 coffees and 1 donut between us ... that's out of approx 14 cups since "Roll up the Rim" started this year.

1 coffee and the donut were won on Larges, the other was on an XL (actually, the very XL I got for free with my 1st winning tab).

Last year my wife won the Colemn Camping PKG. Claiming the prize was worse than doing your taxes with all the hoops they make you jump through. The skilled testing question is a joke. What's 6x2+4-3=?
They give you only 5 minutes to answer.

You have to get a notarised photo copy of the prize cup thingy and then mail off the tag to some place in New Broomstick. They then contact you and ask the question. Then they ship the PKG to the Tim Hortens you won the prize at. Then you have to get there again to claim it. Also be ready to get your photo taken so they can plaster your picture in the newspaper.
It is a nice camping PKG though. Big Coleman cooler with wheels, big tent that has the Tim Hortens logo on it. Two burner plus griddle Coleman stove and a battery operated Coleman florescent light with out the batteries

There is a $1.42 tax on each play agian tab I had the same problem as soon as I gave them the tax there was no problem.

As for real wins I'm 0/8 but one that I gave away was a winner so I'm not sure how to score that, %$#@^^ me off.

Oh well she will enjoy it I'm sure.

So, I decided to look at the Tim Hortons site this morning, just to check out what the odds for actually winning are. It had some pretty interesting stuff. For those who feel like reading the entire thing, click HERE.

*NOTE: In the United States, the cup sizes are referred to as "small", "medium" and "large" instead of M, L, and XL respectively.

The other bit of useless trivia I found interesting is this... Did you know you are technically supposed to fill in a prize claim form and answer a skill testing question, even for the food prizes? Imagine if they enforced that - Yeah, that would be a real popular move in the drive-thru line in the morning rush!

HOW TO CLAIM A COFFEE or DONUT:

25. In Canada: If you are eligible to win a COFFEE or a DONUT, complete a contest prize claim form. Canadian participants ONLY must sign the declaration and answer the skill-testing question (below on the contest prize claim form) and, together with their eligible "winning" RIM TAB, present it to a participating Tim Hortons store. Before being declared a Canadian winner, your RIM TAB and answer to the skill-testing question must be verified.
In U.S.A: U.S. participants are not required to answer a skill-testing question. Upon verification of the RIM TAB, a food prize will be awarded.

26. PLEASE NOTE: Food prize products may be substituted for another food product but no cash alternative will be made available. A winning "WIN/GAGNEZ UN CAFÉ/COFFEE" or "WIN A COFFEE" RIM TAB may be redeemed for any size of any one (1) hot beverage. A winning "WIN/GAGNEZ UN BEIGNE/DONUT" or "WIN A DONUT" RIM TAB may be redeemed for any one (1) donut, cookie or muffin. A food prize claim may not be used in conjunction with any other deal, combo or offer. All prize claims must be received by the end of the business day on or before May 28, 2006. Claims received after May 28, 2006 are null and void and ineligible for prizes. Unclaimed prizes will not be awarded.

27. DECLARATION & SKILL TESTING QUESTION FOR CLAIMING A FOOD PRIZE:
DECLARATION: I hereby declare that I have read, understood and complied with the contest rules (and if a Canadian resident have answered the skill-testing question) and will accept my prize, if won, as awarded.

Signature of Entrant _____________________________________________________

Skill-Testing Question: (Print Clearly)
MULTIPLY 5 x 11
SUBTRACT 3
ADD 8
ANSWER: _______________

... A prize claim form for a coffee or donut

...... it boggles the mind!

There is a $1.42 tax on each play agian tab I had the same problem as soon as I gave them the tax there was no problem.

....thats not a tax....its a user fee

w squared · Post by **w squared** » Mon Mar 06, 2006 2:13 pm

this thread is no fun at all for me. I've been outside of good old Fox Vegas the whole time that the contest has been on...the nearest Tim's is about a two hour drive from where I'm working right now.

Tim's isn't my preferred cup of coffee (I'd rather have a really good latte or an americano), but it's still a lot better than the brown dishwater that I can get here.
