Clever. Proper email validation can be tricky at the edge cases, but parsing out sub-addresses shouldn't be too hard.
I'm curious as to why the OP disclosed this hack - given there are surely more contests to win. I wonder if the target companies have gotten savvy to this technique and it suddenly became ineffective.

OP probably revealed it to encourage others to replicate it, given the last paragraph. It might not be the best decision in the long term but in the long term there are other ways to have more than one email address.
