Well... my suggestion is not to try for this weekly sweepstakes.

I received an email stating I had won the $20 weekly drawing. When I clicked the link to claim the prize, it brought me to a page where I filled out my name & email address. After hitting submit, I was directed to a page asking for the names & email addresses of 5 of my friends so I could be entered to win a $500 shopping spree. It would not let me pass that page until I entered the information.

When I was finally able to do my shopping, I was asked for a form of payment. I was not provided with a code for the $20 credit, so I contacted live support. They were extremely unhelpful. They said the code was provided in the email, & that I would not be receiving another to confirm the prize. I cut & pasted the email I received, & again they said the code was in the email. It was not!

I finally told them I was frustrated with the process & I would not be attempting to use the prize (if there actually was any prize... I think this may be a phishing attempt)

Thanks to the OP anyway for their good intentions! But beware to all!
