Is this new? or have I really never ever seen it before?

"Closed contest thread" ??

it's still the same site on mine..

http://www.pickmeupmagazine.co.uk/

think that links when the comp has finished on some of them, have pm'd BG to send them to GO this morning as that link you have has been showing on the old comps but then when you click on comps, the new page link comes up, it's very strange at the moment, i've unregistered & reregistered & am going to wait to see what happens:eek:

the new way of doing it is bloody horrible. i hope it reverts back to how it was. not sure what possessed them to change it to a choose 3 numbers for an instant win type of comp.

yea, it's horrible, when you choose the 3 numbers it just seems to bring the page up with a load of carp ones underneath :eek:

Hi,

Has Pickmeup sold out and started doing dodgy comps?

This is the op
forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1843087

and this is what it leads too
comps.pickmeupmagazine.co.uk/competition/london-break.php

Or am i doing something wrong?

Looks like they have! :mad:

from the rules of play

When you enter our competitions we will display a series of offers, requests and/or survey questions from carefully selected 3rd parties. By opting into offers and/or requests you are agreeing to receive further information as set out in the partner's Terms & Conditions shown.

the format is now somewhat similar to www.321prize.com

I think that I will stay well clear of the Pick Me Up magazine site now! as it's now another one of the (complete waste of time) sites that are designed for marketing purposes that help to produce and promote :spam:

the chances of you getting the three numbers in the correct order must be astronomical

have been messing about with it for ages, doesn't let me into the forum now either :rolleyes: was going to post & complain

Amilucky?

I have done a bit of digging!

The company that Pick Me Up Magazine are now using for the competitions are Data Media & Research Ltd

from the privacy policy

Data Media & Research Ltd ("DMR") is a supplier engaged by IPC to provide a selection process for winners in competitions entered on the Site and the provision of prizes

(DMR) are the owners of the win 4 now and Instantwin 4 now sites which are on velvetgloves sites to avoid

Thank you Amilucky, shan't bother using them anymore then had loads of wins from them as well before,
just seen a webuser one in the comps & they seem to have changed their site as well, hope it's not the same as pmu

Amilucky?

What's even worse is that these type of competition sites tend to promote the same prizes across multiple sites and the sites "share" the prizes

as per the win 4 now site's general rules

Prizes may be offered by Win 4 now or by other companies and these prizes may appear across other web sites and other advertising media
