Woman Magazine Dailies
Today I am a bit late doing the dailies and cannot get into the Woman site. I have them bookmarked but nothing happens and tried going via the link on the magazine home page but again no luck. All the other magazine dailies I entered were ok So I was wondering if anyone else has/had any trouble getting to the Woman comps…
Does anyone???
I enter around 300-400 comps a day (dailys included in that) I have one a fairly decent price but that was 2 weeks ago, and not one anything since, does anyone else get frustrated entering so many comps every day religiously and not winning anything? Sorry for the moan, try talking to hubby about it but he doesn't 'get it'…

Valentine, Mother's Day comps after the event
I've noticed over the last couple of years that many competitions for a specific event such as Valentine's Day or Easter have the closing date after the actual event. Surely if they are running a competition to win flowers for Mother's Day the website would have the competition to finish before the event?
Why does my twitter unfollow people?
Im new to twitter so dont really get it Im my stream if I see a retreat comp, i click it, click follow and click retweet.

Seperate section for likes and followers comps?
Hi notice that there is many competitions that require there to be an x amount of likes (Facebook) or follows (Twitter). The posters of the competitions have to estimate and judge when the competitions will end. Would it maybe more sense to have a separate section for these type of comps? Where people could then comment on…
Facebook and sharing?
If when asked you share but then select only you or just one of your friends to see it, does it count? I dont want to bombard all my friends with comps, so would this work ie. you would be showing up for the company as shared it wouldnt you if you have clicked the share button?

Hotel wins for partners
This is probably more a question the ladies on here can answer. If your partner won a competition to stay in a nice hotel over a couple of days and they used it for your anniversary or birthday would you think they were being tight fisted? Not buying you anything but technically giving you something free?
