Competitions Discussion Thread Part 9

A comping query....and help!

The Mirror today, in it's pullout supplement, has a competition for a family holiday to Florida. Trouble is after closer inspection, comparing paper and online, the details for text, online (click&buy) and phone are completely different! The online version is dated last Friday, do you think they haven't updated yet as the online comp doesn't finish til 6pm today? I've entered both and got replies thanking me so they both work.
I've posted the paper one for this week (dated 23-29th Jan) in the postal/text section but am confused! Should I delete it til tomorrow when I know it might be open or just post a warning on the OP it's not the online one and post the online one from last week separately?
*I can't believe it wasn't listed anywhere but I have triple checked!*

When MSErs win a competition, I'd be interested to know whether they entered at the start, middle or end and whether it makes a difference to your chances of winning.

Not sure how I'd get this info tho.

Ms Chocaholic, honestly it doesn't matter I have won from entering at all times. My value of prizes was over £5k last year & so far this year is over £100 HTH

I suppose you could check the links (where posted) to the original comp post in the 'I Won' forum and see when they thanked. But not everyone links to the OP.. and not everyone 'thanks'.

Somewhere on MSE is a Fanta competition where you have to submit a photo of your worst pressent, but I can't find the link to it unless it's been removed. Hopfully one of you will know what I'm on with, and be able to provide the link. Many thanks in advance.

Hi Mystic charm it was actually a Tango comp. Look under search this forum...it was Zebedeee who posted. Swap your unwanted presents....is that the one you mean?
