    Tell us about the monthy bill you'd like Absolute Radio to pay. Keep it below a grand to be eligible to play (read our full terms and conditions), then tune in to Absolute Radio to hear if you are a winner.

    Hmmm - after I saw the woman who won last week wanting to pay off her triple pram and not a monthly CC bill/mortgage, I thought I'd choose something quirky so said I wanted them to pay off my new bed (£800) which has come on my CC bill which totalled over £1000 so couldn't put that...

    The bed isn't a monthly bill either, but just realised I didn't put the actual word 'bill' in my entry... hope they don't exclude me and I've been tuning in at 7am for nothing... :eek:

    Edit: just read T&C's - Bills can be for credit cards, store cards, utility bills, loans etc. If submitting a mortgage, personal loan or residential tenancy rent bill, only one month's re-payment will be paid (if won).

    Even more confused now as surely a pram doesn't fall into any of the above... :confused: hope that means i can still enter with my bed...

    can't believe online has still not gone!

    Now i think absolute should come on this site and pm one of us for our names, so one of us can be an online winner!!!

    Or perhaps the Claim button is broken..? Gosh, it really doesn't look good for Absolute with two days passing and no winning entrants bothering to check the website!

    Yep, I agree that the rules are stupidly unclear! Originally I believe the bill had to be unpaid, so that ruled out all the direct debits. Then, like you, I couldn't do CC bill as it totalled over £1k. The only unpaid 'bill' I had at the time I entered was Council Tax. So I was a bit peaved when I saw someone had won a cut and colour at the frickin' hairdressers!

    Also, the T&Cs state: The entrants whose names we read out on-air will be selected by chance. So are the online entrants are selected on merit?

    Bit of a mess isn't it? Hard to believe that the comp has been successfully run before!
