    Truthfully, I believe there is more than likely some jiggery-pokery going on with this comp with people entering multiple times per draw via multiple ISP and mobile numbers.

    I may be wrong but I feel that if there are people willing to spend £1000 in the initial outlay for this comp then they probably have a game plan - which doesn't rely on just the standard odds.

    Maybe I'm cynical - I just think that there is plenty of scope in this comp to cheat and it is probably being used to great effect by some folk who aren't regular compers but have seen this promotion as a way to make lots of cash very quickly

    I would be so upset if that was the case, I have been entering once an hour by email. Not even bothering with the mobile option as don't want the extra cost LOL. I am sure they could pick up on people entering from more than one email on one computer. Maybe they should have done it one entry per house address per hour. I know some people have more than one address, but not as many as people may have mobile phone/ computers

    I thought I'd text a code tonight instead of onlline, I made sure I chose a stick that was really easy to read, I've just received an 'oh no, it appears you've entered your code incorrectly. Let your stick dry and try again later :confused::confused: I'll give them a ring tomorrow.

    Just thought I'd remind everyone to check their balances regularly on their cards. Both my OH and I received our cards which we won in April this morning and I activated both of them, both showed the balance of £10.00 each. I logged out of mine and then back in and the balance was £9.99 (before I had even used the card) then I logged back into OH to check his and his was only showing as £9.00. As a result, the order I had placed with his card for a CD at £9.99 was declined as there was not enough funds on the card.

    I have tried contacting magnum using the "contact us" button to see if they can locate the missing £1.00, but the contact us page is bouncing back as "page cannot be found". I have had to manually type an email using the unilever email address to complain.

    Just thought I'd let you guys know in case it becomes a problem, although it is possibly just me and my luck!!! :beer:

    Thanks, there is definately something not right about this competition. I have been entering codes via text and email since they "fixed" *chokes on cup of tea* and had nothing, then this just to rub salt into already sore wounds!! Hopefully I will get an email back in the morning and let you know how I get on. Sounds like they aint got a clue to be honest, wonder if I send an email to Ant and Dec, they will give me the answers :rotfl::rotfl:

    Oooh, maybe they will send Ant and Dec round with a new card for you - that would be worth it all! ;)

    I hope Magnum makes a substantial profit on this because I have a feeling that there will be a significant drop in the sales after the comp ends. Personally, I'm sick of them.............but I'd love a mini milk! Do they still make the orange ones? Yum!
