    I topped up twice whilst I was away, and just played the games, I got 50 o2 minutes and 50 landline minutes, I've only just realised that they expire in just over 48 hours :rolleyes:

    I got 50 free mms texts to be used over 2 weeks i think it was :)
    Love is the answer. At least for most of the questions in my heart,
    Like why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?
    It's not always easy,And sometimes life can be deceiving,
    I'll tell you one thing, its always better when we're together

    I just topped up my phone online, and got this message after that.
    As long as you've said yes to marketing messages or yes to messages on Top-up Surprises from us, you'll get the code you need to claim your Surprise by text soon. Simply enter this at o2.co.uk/surprises to reveal your Surprise.


    If you've said no to marketing messages, or you're not sure, call 2220 free from your O2 mobile and opt in to O2 Top Up Surprises. You'll then get this code within a couple of days.

    Note the second paragraph if you did not receive the code ;)

    You must Top Up at least £10 to recieve the code to play. Can't see an end date if someone finds it I will put in title.
    How To Play
    Welcome to the O2 Top-up Surprises website, home of the game with surprises of all sizes, and you get one every time.

    To start playing the game, just enter the code we sent you last time you topped up along with your mobile number into the play now screen. Your mobile number will need to start with 07 and be 11 digits long

    Once you've clicked 'log in' the game will start. To pick your lucky duck, just click on the one that looks most appealing to you and watch it get fished out of the pond, remember if you play the gold game you'll get a better chance of winning, a choice of bigger surprises and ten times the Grand Prize Draw entries

    Once you've won your surprise, just enter your details and we'll let you know how you'll receive your prize

    1. O2 Surprises consist of both prizes and gifts that you can receive through this promotion.
    2. This promotion is open to all customers of O2 Pay & Go and is open to over 16s only.
    3. To participate in this promotion you are required to make a top up (the minimum top up is £10) to your O2 Pay & Go number.
    4. Upon successful top up, you will receive an activation code within 24 hours, in the form of a text message sent direct to your O2 Pay & Go mobile.
    5. You will be required to log on to the O2 Surprises home page located at o2.co.uk/surprises and asked to input your activation code via this website. Prizes and gifts cannot be redeemed by any other method.
    6. Your activation code is valid for a maximum of fourteen (14) calendar days from the point at which you top up, after which it will expire.
    7. See how you can play by clicking the 'how to play' button on the O2 Surprises home page.
    8. Upon playing the game, you will be presented with either a prize or a gift, which you can claim by clicking "collect", and then following the instructions and providing any required information for delivery of your prize or gift.

    Which O2 Surprises could you receive?

    9. The type of Surprises that will be made available to you will differ depending on the amount you have topped up.
    10. There are two categories: the O2 "silver" category of Surprises (for top ups that are between £10-£14.99), or the O2 "gold" category of Surprises for top ups that are £15 or above.

    Prizes: Monthly Grand Prize Draw or Instant Win
    11. You will also be automatically entered into the monthly grand prize draw when you play O2 Surprises. For the month of February the draw entries will only be accrued during the period 1st February 2009 until 25th February 2009 inclusive. Entries for the rest of February will count towards the Grand Prize Draw at the end of March. The number of entries you will have for the monthly prize draw will differ depending on the amount you have topped up. O2 "silver" category entries for top ups between £10-£14.99 in a single transaction within a given calendar month will give you 1 entry for every £1 spent, and O2 "gold" category entries for tops ups of £15 or above in a single transaction within a given calendar month will give you 10 entries per £1 spent. Top-up given back as part of VAT refunds will count towards these entries.
    12. The winner of the grand monthly prize draw will be selected at random from all qualifying entries received during each calendar month. The draw will take place as soon as possible after the end of each calendar month. The grand prize for each calendar month will be advertised on the O2 Surprises website. The February Grand Prize draw will be a holiday to Ibiza worth up to £10,000 to be taken as holiday and spending money as appropriately allocated by O2.
    13. The winner/s will be selected and prizes allocated at random from all eligible entries received by an independent third party, Buongiorno UK Limited, 20 Orange Street, London, WC2H 7NN. The winner/s will be notified and prizes delivered within six weeks following the date of the prize being drawn.
    14. In the event that you have won a prize and in order to enable O2 to deliver that prize, you will be required to leave your full name and address on the allocated section of the website for prize delivery. Your details will be treated in accordance with our Privacy Policy. A signature may be required upon delivery of a prize.

    Ravernoloo, it's worth reading Velvet Glove's comping guide. It explains how to search so as not to post dupes and what sites are best avoided, and lots of other good stuff.

    I'll request a merge.
