Q&A
Q. What does MSP mean?
A. MSP stands for Microsft Points, the online currency used to buy things on Xbox Live.

Q. What does IW mean?
A. IW stands for Instant Win. You should be notified fairly quickly if you won or not.

Q. I didn't get a response text when I entered!
A. Don't worry about it. Sometimes the response back takes hours and hours. Just don't get anxious and enter again. You could be disqualifying yourself.

Q. How much does it cost to enter these text & win contests?
A. If you have texting included in your cell phone plan, then nothing more. If you pay per text, look at the alternate ways to enter contests.

Q. Does anyone really win these?
A. Yep. I have won a few. I tend to fund my Xbox Live Avatar with nifty outfits and pets using won MSP.
