I can't believe the complete lack of respect some of these companies have for people's personal details. We have Data Protection training at work and companies can get into serious trouble for not keeping people's details securely, particularly if the FSA are involved.

exactly right.I think I'll email them with my concerns.

Hi all
Just had a few wins since starting to comp and just wondered if you guys ew of any competions to win sapphire book by katie price or any good make up comps. Need some advice as idont seem to be winning. How many times on average do you enter?

Thanks all

Looking at your signature you're doing really well with 8 wins in a month, how can you say that you don't seem to be winning? If you've only just started comping, chances are that a lot of them haven't even ended yet. Keep entering and have patience, winning is a bonus.

Good Luck

I never won all them in one month i won one of them in june i think, iv just kept adding them on to the list

so do you enter competitions more than once at a time?

ikkle87

no because unless it says multiple entries you will disqualify yourself

even if its over june and july your wins are still good.

Hi, if you've only recently started comping then it's likely most of the comps you've entered haven't finished yet, or winners haven't yet been notified. It's not unusual to wait a few months before getting regular wins, & even then it's not guaranteed. I've been comping about 18 months, took 2 months to get my 1st win. Last month I won about 15 prizes; this month I've won 3 prizes - it's just the luck of the draw.

Have a look at the comping guide sticky (or click here to get to it) for loads more info. You can use the search function to find comps for particular prizes, eg for make-up search something like Rimmel or mascara.

Hope that helps

I got the apology one too, and now you say they've done it AGAIN!!! How incompetent is that?

Their email said:

To err is human - but for a major mishap, you need a computer!!

Or an idiot inputting the data eh?
