Few questions about wins

andrew71

First of all I notice that many of you put the word/letter wem in your emails. What does this mean?
The prizes that you win do they normally contact you first either email or phone or do some of the prizes just turn up at the door? I've won about 4 prizes over the years and one prize just turned up at the door (well it was delivered and not just walked upto the door itself;) ) Think it would be great to open the door to have a delivery man with a 48" HD Television for us.

When you enter competitions that are to be emailed in if they have not asked for contact details do you still give them anyway (address and phone number) or do you just send the answer in?

Hey Andrew

WEM - Winning email

As for how we are notified .... like you said... sometimes by an email... a phone call... and sometimes wins turn up and you have no idea where the hell they are from until you search past posts here and work it out that way!

If entering email competitions I always enter my name, address, phone number, email address and Date of Birth if requested..... depends on what specifics the runners of the competitions ask for, however, if I am uncertain about what to put... I usually put everything in just to be on the safe side!

Finger crossed I will be 2nd in the queue for the 48" HD TV

Happy Comping!

I only started comping at the start of this month but I think WEM means 'winning email' someone correct me if I am wrong though

I have had emails for all my wins so far but it would be lovely to get a surprise win turn up!!

I always send my details on emails unless they specifically say only send the answer... I'm interested to know what everyone else does though as I never know if I should send details or not

yeah abbreviations include

WEM - winning email
LWE - long white envelope (post)
WTC or WPC - winning phone call



a thread HERE that tells you how different websites notify you of wins

I suppose you could add UKaD to the list of abreviation then?
Unexpected Knock at Door - when you get a delivery of a prize you had no idea you had won.
