My impression with some sponsors giving gift certificates as prizes is that it is intended simply to get a bigger sale. For example, gift certificates are given away so that the winner can use it to buy a bigger ticket item. However, some people simply want to redeem the certificate without buying bigger items so they redeem the certificate for stuff that is worth the same amount as the certificates. Thus the sponsor loses money instead of making money from the winner and there is no incentive to send the products to the winner in that case.

My thinking is that the contest should be entered as purely for the joy of sharing. Who cares whether there are actual prizes anyway. I do agree, however, that people are not living up to the promises.
