Instagram block
Hi I’ve been blocked by Instagram for last 48 hours. I have no idea why and I still can’t post. Yet all my other comping friends are posting far more than me. Despite reporting the issue it looks like I’ll need to delete my account and start again. It seems so unfair as none else who I am friends with has a block. Any…
Gleam comps
Hi, I can't enter Gleam comps any more because I signed up with facebook and have since left FB. Anyone know how to delete my details and start afresh?
How long after win notification to receive prize
Just curious to see how long it takes for you to receive a prize after a WEM or phone call. In my experience I received a WEM about 2 weeks ago and still not received the prize, although the promoter said it can take 30 days, so not too concerned. My other wins were ebooks and a book I never knew I won until I received it,…
entry limits on competitions
Hi for postal entries with Channel 5 or ITV is there any limits? no mention of postal entry limits in T&Cs only phone / online limits are mentioned. TIA
telephone number on online comp
Hi. When an online competition such as Heart FM asks for your telephone number - are you going to get charged?? Or is this just so they can contact you if you win?

Competition shenanigans / spam!
(1) Are many people getting bogus FB you won replies. I've had a few and just delete them / don't go any further. What's their game?? (2) Is anybody getting loads of emails from .club? Don't know if my email address was harvested from a competition or auto generated?

Hi I used to view a couple of hundred threads per page and have around 20 pages but not it has changed to 25 per page and I have 189 pages! Can anyone advise how to re-set?
Advent wins 2019
Hi I thought it might be nice to have a post for who is winning what over the advent this year. I've often heard people say this is the best time for winning so it would be nice to hear how other compers are doing and how successful this year is compared to previous ones. To start things, I've won my first advent ever this…

Last Pass
Does anyone use Last Pass and use the wonderful feature that I think was called Hot Keys? This is where when you come to a page where you have to complete your name, address, email etc you can select two keys example ALT and C and by pressing these it would complete the form for you? I have had the free version of last…

Advent Chat ?
Looked around to see if I could find this Advent's Chat but couldn't find any. My question is A: 24/12 Lifestyle Hotels did not ask for personal details when I entered. Is that due to Google Analytics or what? Sorry if there is an advent chat... Please help. TIA
World Tempus comps
Is it just me having problems logging into this site? Have done their comps for years with no problems at all, but just lately nothing works. Tearing my hair out trying to do their Advent :(
The comp names are....??
I’m so greatful for the folk that take the time t find these competitions and then share them with us. Its just made me laugh, recently, the names for a lot of the threads people have made have been a bit more obscure. Instead of “win skincare products” or “£100 tool set.” The names have been just the brand of what it is?…
What advents are you missing this year?
Any, usually good, advents that we're missing this year so we can keep an eye out for them? Notable ones for me are BeoPlay Heart Radio Hexus Barbour Hermes Ryobi Tools T3 I'll mention Scottish Widows and Hunt the Haggis 'cause everyone's always bangin' on about them :) The Debenhams Beauty club always seems to come up too…
