    I wonder if anyone can help? I entered a comp run by Dell and Intel on behalf of my local school. Basically the competition was very badly run. First they extended the date - after we had submitted our entry, then they changed the rules on letting under 13's appear (we used puppets as per the original rules) then they allowed additional voting to take place after they had stated the comp was closed.

    They have announced their 'finalists' today and we're not one of them, all in all I feel we were put at a real disadvantage by the chopping and changing of the rules.

    I'm so annoyed we put in a lot of hard work and feel cheated by the promoter. I am thinking of writing to the Chief Exec's of Intel/Dell.
    Is there a regulator I can report them to as well?

    Any advice from you guys would be really appreciated.

    This might be worth a look:

    It says they deal with promotions that are unfairly run.

    Hello all I was wondering what you all thought about the 'Find a Prize' website as I see that another member thinks that it might be spammy? Now whether it's just a coincidence, but I'm sure that since I've been entering one of the comps on there on a daily basis I've been getting loads of spam emails from DHL. It's not them, and my anti virus software is detecting viruses in them.

    Ok, I need help guys. Got the May issue of Glamour and brace yourselves, it has all the details about the May giveaway, yep, that time of year again, they're giving away 23,430 products! Eeek!

    So, I was wondering, while I have time, should I post it with all the prizes ready to be bumped. As I'll be away on holiday when it goes live or just not bother and leave it for the time being. Also, would it go on the main board? Cheers folks! :) x

    :D That sounds exciting!! :j

    I don't think it would matter if you posted it now, it's probably slightly early, but you could put the start date in the title and it could just drop down the boards until it's ready to be bumped on the first day?

    I assume the end date is 31/05? If so I believe it should go on the main board and be linked into the daily thread :D

    Thanks for posting it, can't wait to see all the prize info! :j

    Personally,I've not entered any.I commented here a good bit back & my opinion has not altered.Often when I see the mention of "daily" in the title I just pass by as I tend not to do daily comps.
    Just seems to good to be true.
