not too sure if i'm being rude or if it's feasible but what do people think about a sub board maybe on the dailies to list comps that are not entered daily but give out prizes daily but which have a closing date
there seems to be a fair few probably more so on the radio stations that give out on a daily basis

Im not sure if this is the right place to ask so please forgive me if it is.

My husband won sky tv, internet & phone package about 2 mths ago on Magic 105.4 radio (on the phone).
Now we got a confirmation letter from them a week ago saying congratulations etc.... on the cover letter it said you can't win a prize within the next 6mths of £1000+.
They also sent us the normal t&c which states. A person or people at the same residential address may not win more than one prize valued at £500 or more within one year period following the win.

Now im totally confused about if i can still enter competitions or not. 2 sets of t&c's state 2 different things.
My husband has for the past week been trying to call them to ask but it always goes to the persons answer machine & they never call back :rolleyes:

Does starters does it mean i can win a prize to the value of less than £500 within the 12 mths. Not even sure which set of t&c's are correct.

can someone take a look at this comp please, I've got a headache and squinting at the screen trying to read all the t&cs isn't helping!

Is this open worldwide? It's a daily comp and I think it is but hope someone can confirm. ta

Hmmm...
I was just thinking how cool it would be to have a prize exchange thread where you can swap your wins with other peeps. Has this ever been done and would such a thread be allowed on MSE?

its not really allowed on here as in the rules about swapping stuff isnt allowed, not sure exactly where but its been asked about before and I think it was pointed to then but Im not sure where it was at the moment


Edit - check out the comping guide, winning section in post 6 HERE

Just going off topic a bit here ... but, ouch, I've just made a mistake and sent in an email with the answers for Issue 11 of Real People ... shame I'd already done it earlier in the week ...:(

Does this mean my entry will disqualify me ... serves me right if it does, I should have checked more thoroughly ...

Im not sure of the answer to that but would of thought (or hoped) that any entries after the first one will be disqualified/discounted?

ive done it before (often when its been bumped up just with someone saying thanks a couple of weeks later:D)
