Entering card codes... what is the best way?

[ArkMama]

I have 2 boxes of Series 1 cards I want to open. I have heard bits and pieces about entering in 1 code a day. Is this true or superstition?

I am wondering about both the prize codes and the virtual card codes.

This is just me. I am so impatient I open everything and then think about what I'm going to do. So I enter half on 1 day an half on another.

I suspect it's worth trying to read back over the threads pertaining to this. There seem to be varied notions. There are people who report having success when they only enter a pack or two a day, and clear their cache in between (especially I think for the virtual trading cards). I've never cleared my cache between either the prize or virtual card entries. What I've done is pay attention to my own and to the threads' reports of runs on certain card types. For instance the other night someone reported in that they were getting $5000 and gamer collection piece prizes on TC1 cards, so I entered some of my cards, and sure enough I got the same thing. And one day the TC1 Virtual Doodlz cards were showing up so I entered mine and completed that section. And so on. I keep an eye on this area now, and report here when I notice a trend. I find it really helpful. But there does seem to be some difference of opinion or experience about clearing the cache. OTOH I have a Mac and I suspect a lot of those who find it useful to clear their cache might not - if that makes any difference...

Also - if I get posters 3X in a row I stop for the day! And if I'm getting goodies, I keep going! That's my rule of thumb. Hope that helps! Aren't they fun?!
