Look Prize Draws (not able to log-in)
Apologies if this has been discussed but I've been away for a few weeks and not logged into the Mag Daily Prize Draws for weeks. I've just tried the Look Prize Draws and there seems to be a problem with logging in. There are no log-in/password boxes and there is a new box that says GO BACK. I have sent an email to Look to…
Do you tell family & friends about comping?
Only curious as when I started comping, I had friends taking the mickey out of me... and then when I had a big win they suddenly thought comping was the best idea and was asking how to get into it themselves :mad: People at work know that I enter a few comps but just think I'm really lucky :D
wins
How do you put your wins underneath your name. I like to see what people have won as it inspires me. So far I have only won 1 prize but hoping for more and want to put it on my posts Thanks :j
Which comping strategy do you recommend?
Hiya Compers! I have been using Prize Finder and Loquax for the past six months, but only recently found MSE and I must say I am blown away by this forum! Just wanted to ask you guys what’s your recommended strategy for comping? I have been entering loooots (seriously, lots!) of free comps but unfortunately I didn't win…
Favourite low value prize?
I'd imagine most people hope to win the big value prizes but I just thought it'd be nice to see what low value prizes people have won and really appreciated and/or loved?
Tickets and family holidays
I don't normally enter for family tickets or family holidays. But this year with school hols coming up I wouldn't mind seeing if I can win a treat for us all. The problem is, however, that I have 3 children all under 10 and I just wanted to know if I can still enter for them even though they state the prize is for two…
Click to Win comps page takeover
I usually do C2W comps & just recently something odd has been happening & was wondering if others who do C2W are getting the same I do C2W on the iPad & go on the pages & after a few minutes the page is taken over by a pop up of sort, letting me know I won some free apps. Really ignoring me. Is this happening to others &…
Captcha
Anybody else having trouble with these new style ones, I cant get them right at all
I nearly won!
So I entered a radio competition earlier on today, one of the Bauer ones to win £1000. I got a surprise call earlier and was asked a few questions and I sounded like a right numpty answering (I was taken aback!) and I was told they would phone be back to tell me If I had won. I got a call about 10 minutes ago saying I was…
Disappearing tweets?
I have noticed that in some of the competitions I retweeted the tweet disappeared after a couple of days. I retweet and the green arrows are there after I tweeted but then a couple of days later it's not showing that I retweeted it. I know I did tetweet it as my comment is still there. Why is that anyone know?
Has the forum display messed up for anyone else?
Last hour or so it is all over the place for me and not displaying correctly
Lindy Bop winners
names are being posted - not tagged so if you have entered any of their xomps you will need to check their wall
Prize not received :-(
Over a month ago I received an email that I had won the grand prize in the Disney Lego Friends competition. The prize was • Voucher for a party of 8 to attend Tree Top Junior at Go Ape • 1x LEGO Friends Adventure Camp Archery playset • 1x LEGO Friends Adventure Camp Rafting playset • 1x LEGO Friends Adventure Camp Tree…
Most popular link please.
My laptop died a while back so I'm having to use my sons laptop when available. I've been able to get some of my shortcuts back but I can't find how to get the list by 'Most popular' one back. Can some kind person let me have the link please. Thanks in anticipation. :(
Question - send in a sealed envelope?
Hi All, Quick (probably silly) newbie question: If contest states to send postal votes in a sealed envelope, do you still put it on a postcard inside said envelope or just on a piece of paper? Thanks, Suzi
(+3 days postal)
Hi. Could someone tell me what (+3 days postal) means please? I have seen it a few times while doing postal entries and just wondering? Thanks in advance :)
