Missing comps when sorting by end date
I'm back to comping after a 5 year break and things have changed a little...... I've been back for a couple of months and have got to grips with the new way to filter on end date and also having a play around with the new search facility, but what I have noticed over the last couple of days is that even though I've sorted…
Instagram comps - wins?
I was entering Instagram comps heavily in 2019 and my general win ratio was around 2-3 per week. I know it’s the luck of the draw but the odds seemed much better than web-based comps and once you build up a network it’s really quick to do. I’ve been back for about a month and won one runner up prize on IG. I did also have…
Charity Prize draw cancelled after thousands of entries
This is a bit sad... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-58413707 especially as MSE is partially implicated in why they had to cancel it.

Postcard vs Envelopes
Can you use sealed envelopes instead of postcards? is it better to use plain or pictured/patterned postcards /envelopes?
Scamming
Just had a newsletter from Money Magpie, headed with an interesting piece about scammers, how they're on the rise and getting cleverer/harder to detect. It said that Jasmine from MM is on You and Yours tomorrow, talking about this. 12.30 p.m. Radio 4. In case anyone else is interested. Stay safe, be vigilant Blu XXX
Does not signing up for newsletters etc affect chances of winning?
I normally just click on the accept the terms and conditions box. Does not clicking on the other marketing ones affect your chances in any way?
