Hi,

Has anyone tried the Prize Draw Centre? It's a website which you pay a fee to and they enter you into competitions. (Lazy I know).

I've been to their website at prizedrawcentre.co.uk and they seem genuine, but I've been unable to find any user reviews anywhere on the web to see if they really are, and how successful they actually are.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Gary.

Not really the place to post this I'm afraid, it should be in the Comp Discussion Thread. I'll request a move.

yep have rung someone at walkers promotion, but everyone deals with diffrent companys and claire deals with morrisons, they said they will ring back and let me know if anyone else knows anything about it. no one has rung me back yet.

I hope this is the right thread to post in.

I'm curious. Has anyone ever won anything from France24 by clicking through from an email that says to click through and see if you've won anything?

How do they know when to choose a winner because surely once someone has been chosen the competition should stop but there is a specific end date?

Good luck, toejumper! :j

Hi,
Just wondered if anyone else has had such a negative encounter with this company?
Their website is still up and running.
I signed up for entry into their monthly prize draws and was promised entry into thousands of competitions. They have been very quick to withdraw money from my credit card each month but I'm still awaiting confirmation from them. A phone call recently established that they had an entirely fictitious email for me which does not even resemble my email. I signed up for this over the telephone and giving them my credit card details was not the wisest move I've ever made Phone calls and emails to the company and to another company which makes the withdrawals on my account: West Quay Ltd. in Southampton have resulted in promised phone calls back to me. I'm still waiting.
Since they are clearly in breach of contract for not providing me with any details of my so called membership, I'm thinking it might be worthwhile pursuing this in small claims court? I've spent roughly £50 now for nothing.
To add insult to injury, someone tried illegally withdrawing money from my account last week. My credit card company was very alert and informed me. Very few UK companies have my number and security number. Obviously I'm not accusing this company, but........well it's worrying.
Would be very interested to hear from anyone who has favourable or unfavourable views about prizedrawcentre.co.uk

Most competitions have something like "no 3rd party entries" or "no entries made on behalf of" in their terms and conditions, so signing up to something like this is likely to disqualify you from most competitions.

Sorry about that, but I did click on start new thread before writing this, so I don't quite understand why it has appeared here. Thanks for your help.

Fantastic, thanks for your help, just what I needed.

I shan't go anywhere near it.
