The Parents daily giveaway and Parents Sweepstakes have not been working for months. I've emailed about the issue and the resolutions I were offered do not work. I emailed again and received no response. Each time is says Bad Request. Why can this not be corrected on your end?

I paid for the premium garden planning software. I am so disappointed in the lack of functionality. It is just, plain, poor software. Sure, it gives you features to add, but they are out of proportion to the landscape, even when adjusted, per the instructions. Better Homes and Gardens has a good reputation for quality and should not be selling this product, Worse yet, there isn't even a way to get your money back if you aren't satisfied. What a rip off !!

While reading the 0ctober issue of bhg, I noticed that most of the maybe 20 pages or more continually refer to preparing for Spring. Did someone screw up big time? It’s October. I’m not getting my Spring garden on, not getting my home decor ready for Spring. I stopped reading. Please comment on this.

I like to play the sweepstakes but I am not going to watch a 1 minute video advertisement of something I don't want or need and then still have to type in a phrase to prove I am not a robot. No one has this much time! Go back to just typing in a phrase!

I keep getting the following pop-up when clicking enter for the first 3 items every day for the past 2 weeks. Why can I not enter for these items?

For 5 days in a row, this message appears when I hit 'Enter' only for the first 2-3 items: "Something went wrong. An error has occurred and your entry was not submitted. Please try again."

I'm very annoyed with your email of 3/16. It said "Take this quiz to see if you can retire comfortably". So I clicked the link because I was interested. It was not a quiz for the purpose stated. Nor did the quiz conclusion tell me if I could retire comfortably. It only concluded with here are financial advisors in your area. So wasted time for a commercial!! I don't appreciate the deception and misdirection. I expect better from Better Homes and Gardens. Shape up!

Look how long these problems with entering the daily prizes, etc. have been going on, and when you email a problem, there is never a reply. Better Homes and Gardens are quick to take your subscription money but seem they're not interested in any problems you have with their prize sites.

Like many others I too can no longer get any of your sweepstakes entries fully load. Something is wrong with your website! Since similar comments have been ongoing I assume no one bothers to read or address these comments. It's sad.

Cannot enter most of Martha' s Daily prizes nor most of BHG's daily prizes/recipes When I click "enter" nothing happens no add to click on nor anything else. This a good way to cut back on prize winners. I had this problem a few years ago, also but never got a reply. Customer service is worthless as are the help buttons.

Not only is no one monitoring the sweepstakes, no one answers (multiple) queries about how on earth one "enters" when there is nowhere on the page(s) to enter your email address or any other identifying information. The whole thing is a scam to get eyeballs and advertisers.

It looks like I'm not the only one unable to participate in your sweepstakes. I go to enter for the Daily Prize, watch the little video, but when I try to click "Finish" it won't let me click on it. This has gone on for a few days. But I think no one monitors this portion of the website since there are so many complaints.

Your help center stinks. I received two separate renewal notices by email (with two different account numbers), only one of which had two gift subscriptions offered. I renewed the one without the gift subscriptions first, not knowing the other one was on the way. I would very much like to continue giving these two gift subscriptions but because there is no way to contact a HUMAN, I can't figure out how to do this unless I renew for another year in addition.

January 11, 2020
I'm very disappointed in BH&G and it's parent company, Meredith Corp. In the recent articles of what's big in 2020 food trends, you've featured Wellbeing Brewing Co's new Heavenly Body Golden Wheat Craft Beer as being NON-ALCOHOLIC. Their label says the same. BUT - if you actually read the ingredients listed on the cans, it includes this statement: "Contains less than 0.5% alcohol by volume (actually only 0.26%)" That means that there IS alcohol in the stuff. The "less than" wording may satisfy the FDA's labeling laws BUT for an alcoholic 0.26% is TOO MUCH alcohol. That little bit could trigger an alcoholic's disease and start someone drinking again. I write to you about this because I am a sober alcoholic (almost 35 years) and I read labels - even the fine print. I worry about people who are newer in sobriety who may not read labels. If one of them drinks some of this "non-alcoholic" beer and starts drinking again, it will be a real shame. I truly hope someone reads this and pays attention to my comments.

Have a problem contacting the right area- thru email. During this passed September -being a member of AARP -points that had accumulated with them had to be used-or gone forever. So I subscribed free of charge to three magazines.. Two of the three subscriptions started arriving to my home often several weeks. The third -Better Homes and Gardens, never arrived. I have been getting your magazine thru emails for a long period of time-way before my September subscription. So I am confirming with you as to this being a “printed magazine”. coming to my home-or just email. I know I would have more time looking page by page thru an issue -rather that on line. I have so many emails now that I confess not even looking thru all the BHG emails. Please get back to me. Thank you . I have no actual magazine subscription number to give off of a label since i never got o and magazine. The confirmation number thru AARP is DRWS 12669450 and this was for all three mags.

I am furious because Meredith Corporation sent me a book I never ordered with a BILL apparently because I subscribe to Better Hones and Gardens. Now I am going to cancel my subscription as soon as I get ahold of someone to send me a pickup label for the unwanted book. This is not ethical behavior.

I love watching BHG on TV and lots of ideas which appear on there, however since I went on line for a recipe, I have been inundated by flash advertisements. I have uninscribed but still get flash ads which pop up and are so annoying. I asked Microsoft to stop these ads, and paid the blackmail money (just under $50) to stop them a couple of years ago which I can’t now afford. They are so annoying I will never buy anything advertised. Your adv. pops up, and if I touch it, I go straight to your site, so I have to wait till it goes away. More and more companies are doing this, so it must work in the majority. Please can you stop this for me.thistle-do-me@hotmail.com Thank you Elizabeth Please can you stop sending me flash ads to go on you site, I have unsubscribed.

I have purchased your BH&G clear containers, and love them except that moisture apparently gets through the seal, mostly with my sugar, and they also wind up with a crack, although I always hand wash them, not the dishwasher. Any suggestions? I had planned on giving your 10-piece set to my daughter-in-law for Christmas, but after having this experience with 3 of the containers, I am, quite naturally, hesitant to do so.

Is the Better Homes & Gardens Ellis Shutter Bookcase Storage Cabinet, Gray Finish with Gold Finished Accents being discontinued or when do you expect the cabinet to be back in stock.

I tried to enter the 25kSweepstakes. This brought up the need to watch a video ad to "prove I was human". After watching one, I clicked "Finish". That just brought up a stationary ad. The tiny right hand "x" did not close the ad. Clicking on Finish just added new ads. There was no further exit route. Signing up for a BHG sweepstakes should not be annoying or frustrating. And, it should not cause the magazine reader to be bombarded by advertisements. Have you totally forgotten the customer?

Hi there, In your September 2019 issue of BHG magazine; On page 88 or 90 there is a recipe for Lumberjack cake. Is this recipe correct because the ingredients have no carrots but the title above the picture of the cake reads "with carrot, dates and seasonal apples, this scrumpious cake is jam-packed with tasty goodness" Is there an error in the recipe or in the title or slogan above? I'll wait to hear back from you before I make it in case its missing carrots!

Help! I LOVE the house in the October Issue article BHG’s Fall Checklist. Can you tell me if there is a floor plan for that house I can purchase?

Please note that in your recipes, you refer to different step numbers whereas your recipes only have one step number and that is "1". Before you post anything, please go through your content to make sure it is as it should be. This is not a one-time incident; it is on-going.

Your emails often have attractive features linked in them. Each time I've tried visiting though I get spammy virus software popups that shut my machine down. Not sure if it's the email, your site, or what, but it puts a pretty big damper on me utilizing anything. :-(

I have been unable to enter several of your sweepstakes for quite a while. I agree with many other commenters about the errors and difficulty reporting them. One in particular that affects my entry log on is: Failed to make call to mdp.api.getProfile() after 3 attempts. Payload: {"profileId":"953900107"}. I also get the http 400 error, and sometimes have to enter my log on several times due to an "error" on the page. Most of the errors occur on the BHG Sweepstakes pages, but periodically on some of the other Meredith sites as well, such as Shape, Parents, and Martha Stewart. There are also errors trying to open some of your web pages - usually the http 400 error, saying "it is not you, the system is broken" - so how, and/or when will these errors be addressed, or how can we find out what is being done to correct them? Can you at least make it less difficult to report the errors? Respectfully,

I have written as well as used your Help site but nothing works. Every time I try to enter contest, decorator page, or simply try to stop receiving your emails I get the message that page isn't working. I want to discontinue your emails I get the same message. Please don't send me anymore of your pages as I want to unsubscribe.

I'm not happy you guys have gone back to the "prove you're real by watching this video" in order to enter a sweepstakes. Just like before the videos won't load, won't play properly or nothing happens when you press "finish". How is anyone supposed to enter your sweepstakes if the videos don't work? Please go back to the easy ones where you just write in a certain prompt of words. I've complained on your Facebook site and I see people have complained here and it looks like none of us will get a response. I'll just stop entering the sweeps altogether. Ridiculous!

Hello all, I also had problems signing in. I'd get a comment indicating something about "...failed attempts...". I finally cleared my cached data, and I was able to get in with no problem. I'm not sure if this is a long lasting fix; however, I'll try it again if I have the same issue in the future. Good Luck, G~

When an article misidentifies a piece of antique furniture, how does a subscriber communicate to bring the apparent error to the attention of the editorial staff? I do not find anyplace on the website for comments about a specific editorial questions.

Why can't I enter your sweepstake contests? Trying has become a gigantic waste of time. Your site is almost as bad as Martha Stewart"s.

I can't understand why your sweeps don't work! This has been a problem for several years! I keep writing to Meredith & they work, after a period of time. Then, they don't work!! "Someone" isn't doing their job!!! The Martha Stewart sweeps do the same thing only they come up with an Error 440. Please fix this irritating problem (for others, too, I've noticed!)

I have the same complaint as others I have seen submitted..the sweepstakes pages keep saying error or bad error. So it’s similar to offering a beer to an alcoholic then pulling out of reach at the last moment. Why? Why? Why?

Here is one more person that would like to know how to access the recipes I have saved over the years, both before and after your site overhaul. Please put out an e-mail telling us how.

This website is pretty much useless when there is a problem. I don't believe ANYONE reads these comments at all.

I think your IT people aren't up to the job. It's been TWO weeks since I could enter the BHG and Martha Stewart sweeps. I've had the pages "sit there" after entering the captcha. I've had the HPPT 400 error and I've had the page won't load (or something like that. I give up now. No more messages to try to get help. You've made it very tough to contact you about these problems. That's sad for such a large organization.

Now half the sweep pages won't load. I get a HTTP: 400 ERROR. C'mon, people. Let's get this straightened out. It doesn't look good to have broken links.

I cannot find where the page to download Christmas gift tags that were in the 2018 Farmhouse Christmas magazine. I know it's March 2019 now, but I found tags from 2017. A logical person would expect tags from a year later would still be available. I find your web page to be hard to find what you want. Please help.

I have been saving recipes from this site for several months. Now I find I am unable to access these recipes. I have been a subscriber of the magazine and am on the website almost daily. If I can't access the recipes I want, I will not be renewing my subscription. So tell me folks.....how do I access the recipes I have been saving?? p.s. I noticed someone else was having the same problem and got no answer to their query as to how to access the recipes they had saved. I had better get an answer...and soon.

I unsubscribed from everything. I like to "copy" recipes I would like to try and put in my recipes - can't "copy" ingredients in your recipes? If I can't do that the recipe is worthlezas - I don't have time or desire to hand write recipes....Mary Filbert

How do you contact a real person to ask for help about a crochet pattern that is not right?
