      I had no problems with the links. Maybe they decided to close it after I filled out the survey and will declare me the winner.

      I thought so too, but the survey is the list of questions to help you "build a custom Mandolin"... I thought you had to finish that part then you'd be allowed to enter the survey, but it turned out that it WAS the survey.

      Yeah, I don't get a list of questions. I click the link, and it says:

      "This survey is currently closed. Please contact the author of this survey for further assistance."

      Scrolling through the questions was a little funky, but it did work. I thought I was done, then clicked and got the 'closed' message. There were more questions down further in the frame.

      I was able to complete the survey finally. If you click on the link and it works properly, the survey will open up in the same page. If not, it will open a new tab in your browser with the "Survey Closed" message. I tried at least a dozen or so times and it just worked one of them. So keep trying, hopefully someone will diagnose the issue and fix it.

      I can't help but wonder:

      They say you win up to a $5000 credit towards a custom Mando; does that mean that with all of the goodies you can add when you "build your own custom" it will only total $5000 or if you win, do you have to pay the remainder if your custom costs more than $5000...

      Just curiously thinking out loud.

      I take it if your custom order totals $10,000, you can get it for $5000.

      It reads that you can win $5000 credit towards a custom build. That means that with whatever options you choose, whatever the price would normally be for that build, you pay $5000 less than that.

      We apologize for the confusion here folks. We just learned that the embedded code does NOT work on mobile devices or tablets. The links have been updated on our website however and are functioning. Thank you very much for your patience! http://webermandolins.com/about/promotions

      Very strange. I got to the end then Survey Monkey asked me how I want to help my customers with a survey. I am not even sure that my survey went through. Also, I did find it odd that the survey was asking what custom instrument I wanted. I thought it would just be a survey about me for info that would help Weber with its customer base.

      Perhaps it might be better to have something like that and then give the winner options to pick out his/her custom instrument.

      The Survey Monkey sales thing at the end is confusing. Even though I'd already put in my e-mail address it kept asking for it again and again. There appears to be some other issues here on the Survey Monkey side of things.

      Interesting... I didn't see a total of how much the instrument was after I finished.... Where'd you see that?
