Competitions Discussion Thread Part 10

missielizzie

Hi guys. Just wanted to give a heads up to look out for the promo guys/gals outside supermarkets with Nestle Oats and more.

I saw them outside my local Sainsbury's at the weekend and was happy to take their hands off with the 2 free mini boxes of cereal and money off coupons!!! Got 2 on the way in and 2 on the way out!! :rotfl:

Was even more chuffed when I got in the car and read the leaflet which had a comp for £1000 shopping vouchers!! :j

Sorry - coupon entry only, but lookout for them. Comp runs til new year, so hopefully some MSEer will spot them! x

Sorry if I'm being a bit dim but did the Strongbow bowtime competition finish yesterday? I can't see it on their website any more.

Edit: ah yes, it's finished now.

This is the response I got from PMU, thought you might all like to see it (and see how similar it is......almost like a standard reply that just gets edited here and there:rolleyes:)

Hi there and thanks for taking the time to write to us here at Pick Me Up.

I am concerned that you find the changes we've made to the site so disappointing. We are aiming to improve our offering to you.

With this new site we have increased the volume of prizes from 30 to 120 and added an instant win function that allows us to offer multiple entry, while retaining the prize draw element at closing date.

As before all our prizes are winnable, in fact we've had 6 instant winners since going live on Thursday which you can view on our home page as we publish all our winners to demonstrate transparency.

Please also note that when you register with Pick Me Up, we don't pass your details onto any other company. We use that data to service your account and communicate with you directly. Only if you elect to receive further information from our advertising partners is any information transferred, at which point a set of terms and conditions are displayed. We ensure that advertising partners also agree to comply with the Data Protection Act. We simply do not wish to upset any of our valued customers.

In answer to you questions, entries made prior to this version of the site are separate and will be drawn at the closing date as stipulated. I am not in a position to comment on other IPC brands. All I can say is that IPC Media takes data protection very seriously and adhere to terms and conditions shown at time of entry.

[FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial]I truly hope you try us again as I am sure you will enjoy the additional chances to win we've created by moving to this format.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial]Many thanks[/FONT]

Hope you dont mind the highlighted bit (I did that) thought it might be of interest to those of us already entered

The TPS service will only stop unsolicited sales and marketing telephone calls so you will still receive WTC's (winning telephone calls)

Best of Luck

Welcome! :j

How many comps is average to enter a day?

A few weeks ago - over 3 days, I decided to do a tally to work out how many comps I am entering a day. It ranged between just over 100 to well over 300. Some days I don't enter any......but then the next day I'll catch up and do the ones I missed the day before!

How many times do you enter each one?

I normally enter the maximum times that the terms and conditions of the competition will allow (i.e. one entry per household). Most ITV comps allow 5 entries - so I enter 5 times. If a competition allows unlimited entries (such as the current handbag month competition) I keep the page open on my browser and enter the comp whenever I remember! If a competition is once per email address...I have two email addresses I use, so I enter it with each email address. I guess you could go out and sign up for 50 email addresses...but I personally couldn't manage the logistics of more than 2 email addresses!!
