    Is anyone else having problems entering thedetour and reviewedonline comps?
    The pages won't load and the reviewedonline ones just come up with an error.
    Was just wondering if it's just my computer or if it's the same for everyone.
    Thanks and hello everyone :)

    It's the same for me. I haven't been able to get on any of them since last night.

    Hi all

    Sorry if i'm asking a question that has been asked before. Just wondering how you all win so much. I average about one prize a month which i am hugely grateful for. I enter about 2000 comps a month. Is it really all down to luck.

    Thanks:D

    Yep - it's luck. I've been comping since March and have had some fantastic wins, but just won a Crunchie in September ;)

    Not sure if this is in the right place, so please move it if it isn't!

    I was lucky wnough to win an ITV competition earlier on in the year - a family holiday to Florida which I am going on very shortly.

    I still like to enter the ITV and GMTV competitions, but was just wondering whether to do the ones ending while I am away.

    I know that you get a phonecall for the ITV wins and my question is if they rang and there was no answer, would they keep trying to call back or do they go onto the next one on the list?

    If that is th case, I might as well leave those ones for now.

    What are everyones thoughts on this?

    Thanks.

    They will keep trying - it has been mentioned before on the iwiw board.

    But is there not something about entering UK comps when not in the UK?? Some places it is illegal to do online competitions?!? Not sure on the specifics but I'm sure it has also been mentioned before somewhere.

    PS I will req a move to discussions where this should be posted - as it is a discussion! lol

    ;)

    Thanks for answering and for organising it to be moved.

    Just read my message and I made it sound like I was going to enter while away, (going to be far too busy in Florida for that!) - I just wanted to get up to date as much as I could with the ones ending whiel I am on holiday before I leave for my holiday.
