This one won't let me enter without being pregnant or having a new baby. ("Enter date of birth of..."). I'd like the trip, but some things just can't be done!

That required field on the form is contrary to the eligability requirements in the rules, which state it is open to any resident of legal age. I sent Gerber an email to let them know.

I did same, and they are going to "contact" me. I'll post when they tell me what they've figured out.

What's wrong with stating the baby's birthdate as 12/30/06 as I did?

There are enough errors in the rules of contests that I don't bother following up. One other one I posted yesterday stated single entry in the rules, but the web page thank you posting stated to enter again tomorrow!

I thought of that too--but it would be a real miracle

Received a reply from Gerber

"Please accept our apologies regarding the delay in our response to you.

The information we received regarding the sweepstakes is that the birth date field must be filled in. You may choose any date you would like. "

Looks like I've now managed to break several laws of nature, and I'm expecting, due 12/31/06

I actually got a machine message fro a live person, who told me to pick any of the future birthdates, and to not click for coupons. At least they got back to me!
