    Maybe it has something to do with the lady who was winning all the radio comps...forgotten her name (i'm sure Al Mac will remind me! :D) I think you're right Amilucky, probably is the radio comps. Thanks for the list anyway ikkle! :rotfl:

    think that the new T&C's will only apply to the Bauer radio stations if you Google
    Quote:
    A person or people at the same residential address may not win more than one prize within a six month period following the first win
    it is only the radio stations which come up in the search ;)

    If you think about it logically there is no way that they would apply the 6 month rule to the magazines as they would loose to many subscribers!]


    agree Amilucky, i've just checked through the majority of the mags & the t&c's are still the same, doesn't say anything in the puzzler comps, TAB monthly's , TAB, bella, mag specials etc, all the ones i do anyway, about it.
    please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly. k2u58ioz4c8e.png

    I'm certain its not the mags, I've won quite a lot from Bauer Consumer Media mostly from Great Competitions links.

    Agree with amilucky, that it wouldn't be in their interest to apply it to magazines as they would loose too many subscribers

    I'm sorry for being a little slow with this but can someone point me in the direction of this rule change please, everywhere i've looked I cannot find it written like that. I checked my local station (wave) and it says:

    33. A person or people at the same residential address may not win more than one prize valued at £500 or greater within a one-year period following the first win.

    and thats what it says on all the Bauer sites when I google too so I'm a little more than a bit confused over this:confused:

  • Hi i've just received one of my postal comp entries back through the post, i've heard a few people say it has happened to them, i'm really annoyed because it was on a blank postcard with my address on the opposite side to the stamp. Will i be able to put it back in the post or is it now ruined? there is no marks on the stamp. TIA

    I would shove it back into the post box

    don't know if you are aware but when sending postcards it's always best to put "To" and "From" on the postcard and also to write your return address at an angle

    I used to write "From" in the left hand corner of the postcard with a line across followed by my return address continuing downwards at an angle because it makes it harder for the automated mail readers to mis-interpret the "To and "From" addresses

    Best of Luck :)
