Competitions Discussion Thread Part 10

borntoshop

Sorry Hjb no offence intended at all, I used to do it on old thread and post the comps too and then you carried it on, its more direct and time saving for me and others. I did feel it was acceptable

Dont wish in any way to upset you, I feel quite upset in the way you worded your complaint. This is a free forum, I am allowed to help surely?

Again apologies.

Didn't know where to post this but I was in Wilkinsons today and, on the stand with the large packs of Doritos on was a label saying there was a text competition to win £100 a day in July.

I was in a rush, so I checked the packs but they weren't promo packs and the label gave NO info other than to say "text every day for a chance to win £100. See website for details"

But I've checked the website and there is nothing on there about it (there is a new comp starting soon which you can register for but it isn't this one)

Anyone got any ideas? I should have pinched one of the labels but I was rushing and feeling really yucky

Thank you so much PPD - I thought I was going mad! I'd even Googled Walkers for text comps but it just kept bringing up pages of that damned flavour voting one!


Bless you for finding it - I feel totally stupid and blind but very relieved that I didn't imagine the whole thing

Has any one received their space hopper yet. I was informed that i had won a space hopper from McVitties Jaffa Cakes on June 3rd but I still haven't received it.

I've sent a couple of emails, one a couple of weeks ago, i may have deleted their response by accident. :rolleyes: And one today, as of yet no reply. The waiting is just a little annoying. I know it's not a big prize but i'm dying to have a go and have a good laugh.:rotfl:

Sorry didn't win a spacehopper so can't help.

Just read back a bit and saw that there has been bad feeling in the forum again, oh dear. I don't post wins generally anymore in my sig or IWIWIW because I have had a few grumpy comments and can't be bothered with it. We all just need to rise above it though and ignore the people who try and ruin it - it's jealousy through and through!

I've got a couple of comp wins I haven't received and looking for some advice..

First of all TNT - emailed me to say I'd won a bbq pack, and to email them back an address so they could send it out. I've emailed twice but no response, about 6 weeks now has passed. Would you chase again or is it too early for ISP?

Secondly, Londonnet. I feel really funny about this one. I've won a few things from the site, with the last win I had to chase it up (a dvd). The site were lovely, chased it up with the promoters and it came straight away. Next win, I was told would be with me in about 2 weeks, 6 weeks later it still hadn't arrived. I sent a very nice email saying sorry to chase (particularly after last time) but have had no response. I think they must think I'm trying it on Should I just leave this one? They probably don't want me entering their comps anymore anyway. Such a shame as I have won a few times with them!!

Thanks Iwanna I'll let you know if I hear anything in the meantime

Not sure if this is the right place to ask for help, but if not, perhaps someone could point me in the right direction. I am afraid I am a technophobe and am helping that someone can explain to me how to do something. For comping, I always use a hotmail email addy. In the past, I just just to click on the link in the comps to send an email and it would go straight through to a new hotmail message if I was logged in. Now however, it tries to open Outlook, which I don't want. How can I set my computer up so that when I click on a link, it goes onto hotmail?

Thanks for helping and if anyone is willing to try and explain, please can you explain in idiot terms.

Cheers.

Is it maybe worth having a Seperate Sticky for instant win competitions like the Daily/Monthly threads?

Or marking the entries in the above threads with (Instant)?

I only ask because the OH is keen on Instant Win games (no patience!)
