Instagram ban, request for authentication
Just had my Instagram account disabled yesterday. Tried to reactivate it and Instagram sent a code to my phone, and indicated the account would be re-activated in 24 hours or so. However, trying to login today I got: "Your account has been disabled for violating our terms. Learn how you might be able to restore your…
Great British Chefs Comps
Is there someone who regularly posts the Great British Chefs comps? I've just entered the one for a trip to Ireland and have been searching the site so I can mark it as entered, but I can't find it so I've searched on just about every possible thing you can think of and still can't find! Happy to post it but don't want to…
What other competition sites do you use?
Just as above really as I am currently off work looking after little girl so I have more time and was wondering which other sites are out there
Cyber Monday 'just for fun' comp. Ends today-ish. Priceless prize
The winner will be chosen by me at some point tomorrow and will be treated to an amazing and priceless prize, of no financial value whatsoever, posted on this thread. To enter, make a Cyber Monday and/or Black Friday comment. The one that makes me grimace or groan the most wins. Enter as many times as you like. Good luck…
Question on advents
Do you just post them on the advent page and not on the main comp page. I was not here last year.
Whatever happened to lakshmi?
I remember pretty much every other comp on here seemed to be posted by Laks, but I have not seen anything for ages? So, does anyone know what happened to her? is she alright somewhere in comp land?
Wish I'd thought of this earlier
We could've had a 'for fun only' competition to see who got the most Black Friday emails. Oh well, maybe next year. Blu XXX

Gleam refusing to connect with work around in Chrome
Gleam has been playing up for me the last few days, especially in the Google Chrome browser. Where the widget is suppose to be I keep seeing this: If anyone else is getting this, if you right click anywhere on the blog post and select 'View Page Source' then press 'CTRL with F' on a Windows device or 'Command with F' on a…
Mag dailies slow
I will get through these today if it kills me. And I wish they would put new comps on their sites in some sort of order, not on the second page of all places.
Entering multiple radio competitions
I’ve just started entering some of these and noticed that with some of them you have to answer with a particular phrase, if I’ve entered more than one radio money competitions and was lucky enough to get a call should I just answer them all with the phrase from one of them so I don’t miss out? I’ve never entered these…
NO BEST MAGAZINE THIS WEEK.
It was a double issue last week.
Current Comping Scam warning
Today I got a FB friend's request from 'Green Thumb Lawn Treatment'. I won't bore you with all the details, just to say, they said I'd won an iPad (by FB messaging). I proceeded very cautiously, Googling links, etc before clicking, as we sadly have to. But it did seem plausible. I got to where I was supposed to register…
Help! I need friends.
I would like to enter competitions on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, but quite often they require you to "tag" friends. As I am new to social media, I don't have friend to tag. I would therefore welcome the "handles" of any kind people who would allow me to use their names on each of the 3 platforms
Feel like i am always looking to see if i have won
I have become a bit ocd i am constantly checking all my emails to see if i have won anything, but i find a watched email never wins lol and i always win something when i least expect it which is always a nice surprise.
Do check your Paypal if you've recently entered the Paypal Christmas comp!
Hello! I'm not always very good at checking posts when they get bumped but really glad I did with this one: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6310793/e-19-12-win-up-to-10-000-paypal-users-free-entry-route-available/p1 Quite a few MSE compers have won weekly prizes already, but Paypal aren't actually emailing…
How many comps do you enter a day?
I enter quite a few a day but not sure how many and have recently started doing more dailies. I will be having a go at the advents (I know some have appeared already). Did have a break from comps a few months ago, but started again in the hope I can win something nice. Have won prizes before, but not for a long time!
An error has occurred on the server, e.g. no route found: 500
An error has occurred on the server, e.g. no route found: 500 I received the above message when I entered Cash Register last night and Make me a Winner this morning. Both times I entered again and both times I received the message that my entry was recorded, the one you normally get when you have accessed it.Can anyone…
Could We/Should We .....
Could we/should we have a Game Over sub-directory in the Advents section? I noticed last year that as they expired they went into the normal Game Over section and there is no way (to my knowledge) of easily referring to last years posts. At least with the old Advents threads they went into Game Over as a job lot and could…
