Competitions Discussion Thread Part 8

never had a postcard returned yet, i always put my phone number under my postcode, seems to work so far, maybe write your address at an angle? works for some

Do try to claim it back - I complained when I had a cluster returned a while ago and I got free stamps sent to me.
I now write my address bottom to top up the card just to try to ensure it gets there in time.

oh ive tried every way i made a call to the PO a month or so back and i had a letter of apology and stamps
everything was OK till yesterday

at the end of the day its the common sense of the postie if he sees it while hes sorting it he should put it back to be delivered to the right address

I always write my address up the side of the postcard rather than across ITMS, most of my postcards aren't the 'blank' ones though.

when i use to do postcard competitions, i always put my details sideways, and this did seem to help, but did have the odd one come back but not as often..

I've been doing a bit of searching the past few days for the radio comps, Bauer and GCap, and I've found a load more sites! (Will post all the sites I have listed in 2 seperate posts below so as not to get confused!)

Also, if it looks like a comp isn't on the site you can copy the end of the link and paste it onto the address and the comp shows, so for example:

http://www.cfmradio.com/Article.asp?id=866398

copy the part in red and paste it onto the end of the other sites addys and you get the comp for that site.

This works for both of the different types of sites! :j

I did, for the first time, two radio comps last night, all stations, my wrist and fingers ached like mad.

What's it going to be like with this, magnificent, list?

Many thanks BHG.

No problem!

When I realised there were more sites I was glad that it meant I could give something back to everyone as I don't seem to be able to find any comps not already posted!!

I know what you mean about aching after entering them all, I've made it a bit easier by bookmarking all the links into a Firefox folder as I can right click and choose 'Open all in tabs' and it will open them all, although I've got them in batches of 10 as more than that makes my computer crash! Plus I'm keeping a spreadsheet of the radio ones from now on as it makes it easier to keep track of which ones I've done! (Bad memory!!! :rotfl:)

Thats brilliant Bargainhuntergal, and a little spooky, I've noticed that our two local stations Power fm and Wave 105 weren't usually on the lists and always being in a hurry I hadn't got round to entering from them but I was actually doing just that tonight and was about to look for somewhere to post them when I saw your lists!
