'Solid gold' Brew Dog can, not so solid
Looks like somebody in marketing is due for a sit on the naughty step. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-57650685
Skimlinks
Just noticed the "Display Skimlinks?" box in my profile has ticked itself - don't know if this is common or not but it can lead to issues with some competitions (such as the topcashback hummingbird)
Mag Dailies
Hi, Could someone please tell me if the dailies are posted on their own page or individually on the main forum. I haven't done any comps for a while and the page seems to have disappeared. Thank you to all those who post.
Returning to comping - it's changed a little
Hi all, I have just recently returned to comping and unsure how to search. I previously did E:30/06, however, it has all changed. I have read the guide for new compers and looked at how to search. When I click sort I only have hot, top, new, closing date (which always shows E:00/00). It says in the guide to change your…
This Morning Spin to Win
Hi there, I used to have a thread bookmarked for this but I can't seem to find it now. Can anyone provide a link please? Thank you.

No Honeybuns this week?
I've searched the site, but only found where to enter your details, not a question I've searched by scrolling through time posted I've used "Honeybuns" but search on here seems to have got even worse! I asked it to exclude older comps etc- no chance. Unless anyone knows a sly way round it? We coped with comps needing 24…
My Mail comps
I am a subscriber but I never get the 'Enter Now' button appear. It always asks me for the three unique numbers. This happened with the recent Euro final and Wimbledon tickets plus the football scratchcard one. it worked with the bingo-style one but that was because we were given the link to the actual game card. If coming…
Prize not received
Wondering how best to get action on prize I was told I'd won which hasn't arrived. (value circa £350-500 maybe???) I was advised by text that I was a lucky winner on a comp by a well known, large and legit company and on a well known text number. That was about last Oct/Nov (I have the exact date as the text is still on my…

Anyone else getting ERROR: 500 on some of the mag dailies?

Does this seem strange? Trying to claim prize
I won some RC Battle tanks the other day which I was pretty pleased with as they look really cool. I sent the company my name and address and was then told the prize provider would get in touch and give me an Amazon code. They did get in touch but from a personal account rather than a company one, went back to who I won…
Take a break comps
Hi All ive not been on here for ages and am very impressed with the usability now. I just wondered though: how do you keep a note of which take a break and other mag comps you have entered as I can't see a way of marking those that you've entered. Many thanks
Mag Dailies (end dates)
Hi all! Excuse me for being so plain speaking! But, those of you who enter the mag dailies... The end dates just continue until they have a certain no. of entries? Eg. The SoCo (win a year of SoCo drinks). End date was somethingth of June. Now it continues until somethingth July... Are these the same competitions, i.e. the…

Hi! I cannot find what I'm looking for on this site! Can anyone tell me HOW to enter the Sheerluxe comps? They go round and round with me... I can't enter on Chrome or Google Edge... Any ideas? Thanks :)
Scam warning related to online gaming
Hi guys, I was just playing an online game: Crossword Jam. It sent me a message offering me, as a loyal customer, a chance to win an IPhone. To cut it short, I did win one, but they wanted me to pay £1 for postage. I was suspicious, but less so than usual, because it came from within a game that I've been playing for ages,…
Shortlisted for Virgin Radio Friday morning - eek!
Had a call today that I am shortlisted for a possible call back tomorrow, on Virgin's breakfast show to play to win a week at Universal Orlando! Trying not to get too excited as I have no idea how many they usually short list and only two families play so maybe hardly any chance of getting on. In any event, I've been…
NatWest £10K prize draw
Not exactly a competition, and may not meet our eligibility criteria, but if, like me, you've got a debit/credit card you don't use much, it's good to know! I haven't read the T&Cs, but it seems at first glance that you only need to use a card once, for something you were going to buy anyway, to get an entry. Flagged up on…
